World Recession?
haiz... the year of RAT (2008) will be remembered always as a watershed years.
why?
the financial industry & banking turn upside down, everything in a mess
blame who?
peoples greed
so bankers, traders, all the financial specialist, planners, etc.. yr good days of earning 10k over bucks are over
and should be over
all these sickening idiots, who do you blame now?
and who suffer now?
if you're young, u lose 100k.. u still can work & get back those money
my heart goes out for those retiree...
for those who are cold blood & say these ppl deserve what they buy especially those banker, r/s manager, etc...yes, go ahead to argue :
you may argue whatever they deserve for buying unknown product, the risk, etc.. i do hope karma will come and you guys will hit hard & yr wealth evaporated during your old age...
stock market in chao now
my blue chip turns into penny stock, who believe got such a thing happen?

sickening luggage bag
i dunno whether kena cheated or what lar
lately go chinatown & buy 1 luggage bag, hard-cover with 4 wheels
the seller say good & cheap
28"
hard cover
4 wheel drive
$80 only (where to find)
haiz... after the flight, 2 wheels also gone
see the photo (click on photo for larger image)
what the fxxx
so sickeningly cheap & lousy?
last time i bought a cheapo luggage bag for only $59.90 (3-in-1) and i drag that luggage to japan, manila, etc.. drag & walk a distance, no problem
imagine if u drag half-way the wheel go off... si beh paiseh leh especially when u're in japan or those busy road at manila (most of the time to manila office, i take early2 flight.. & go straight to office)!
so i approach SIA "lost & found" department for compensation
cheapo luggage bag like mine, they offer 2 options :
01 - SIA compensate $70 only (not full)
02 - SIA send for repair
i guess u know what option i take, right?
those of you who got expensive luggage bag (samsonite).. sorry lar, only option 2 available
they'll go to yr house & take yr luggage bag to repair

患難见真情
患難可以是悲剧,亦可以见真情,
朋友可以共福贵,但又多少朋友可以共患難呢。
一生有和求?
.

love through adversity
i've a short chat with my friend lately, about her unfortunate encounter with her direct superior. she work there for 11 years already & now basically face-off
what happen, only her boss know...
as for me, i've a small cute little panda box under my cubicle.
standby 24 hrs in-case i being sack!
i've seen many cases (current workplace) whereby they just basically give u 1 day notice & left immediately
haiz...and you talk about 人情,朋友, also about 真情, is there any?
they just move on without you...

unpredictable
expect the unexpected
as goes with my title of today's blog, expect the unexpected.
how many of you out there value (or appreciate) people around you?
do you take them for granted?
i guess the answer is a definitely a big YES
till now, i still miss my god mom
she left us after the tsunami disaster, so unpredictable & so sudden
after move office (ex-company), my another colleague just suddenly pass away
i'm like, he's gone?
he's always around me for the past 5-6 years, and suddenly he's gone...
now i heard that my ex-cfo also gone
suddenly pass away in her room while holidaying with friends in US
isn't life fragile?
haiz... till now, how many of us value kinship, friendship & appreciating each other?
yep, the answer is still a big NO
when one of us gone, then we felt something is missing
but already too late when we realize it
sad.. pathetic...

life as it is
see the photo below
this is actually glue pad to catch rat, mice, etc... due to my office workplace RAT invasion
somehow, can't even catch 1 little RAT but the poor cockroaches & lizard
isn't it life?
those that we want or expected, none come
those we're not expecting, flooding in... similar situation?

lies & white lies
diff opinion between gals & guys
while at samui having company team building event, i've a short chat (or debate?) with my colleagues on the above subject.
our conclusion :
majority gals will tell their bf/hubby what they do, meet-up with who (even those sensitive subject like ex-bf, ex... )
interestingly most guys will support their girlfriend & won't have any issue as she already with you, why we guys want to suspect?
all gals will make a big hoo-haa if they know their boyfriend meet-up with their ex-gf, etc... even they're clean (or even friends).
frankly speaking, we guys till now still don't have any answers for this.
gals hate guys telling lies
BUT we guys also hate people maligned them, especially those who we love dearly or those whom we trust dearly
majority guys hate telling lies, what's the point?
do you gain anything in telling lies?
experiences from buddies, friends & even myself telling me that in real life, theory is theory, practical is really practicals
mountain can be made from a small little mole
if the gals keep suspecting their guys, the trust is no longer there anymore
in order for a relationship (or a basic family) to work, mutual trust & proper communication must be in place
pathetically, how many of us value it (mutual trust & communications)?
end-up, a guy who don't know what is lie keep telling lies... is pretty normal
they call it white lies
i do hope... it won't happen to me
if my r/s need to survive on white lies, i'll give-up for the sake of my other half well being
life short.. so value the good things together
