Military Architect in charge?

[To whom it may concern]

Dear Military Test Architect,

If you know something that is unhealthy for us, will you recommend it?
If you know by performing some actions, it will worsen certain conditions, will you implement it as a test criteria?
If you know that the long term treatment of what can be avoided in the first place is paid solely by the victim, will you prevent it?
If you didn't know all these, I hope you do now.

Greats plans are meant for the future, past histories can only be remembered!
(and Reminisce to say how great they are along the way...)



"XXX-XXs" are not healthy for the back!
OMG! OMBG! (In case you don't know what "B" stands for, ask dracula)

Magician overdoing magic

Love magic show?
Wanna get the best seats?
Sneak Preview?

How about a simple trick for a start?
Here goes...

Alba aba car there bra!

- Now the magician has disappeared with your money. -





















Warning!!! they DISappear!

What goes up but never comes down, GST!

First thing that comes to my mind.

AGE! (that is the answer when you are schooling)

GST! (that is the answer when you are working)



Singapore is no longer accomodating AVERAGE performing citizens.

If you are of average quality, you are better off in
some other SECOND-world countries.

First world countries do not allow mistakes,
do not accomodate the average.
Secondly, they are a good bunch,
they help you to save part of your earnings into
a very safe and protected area called Central Prohibited Fund
Thirdly, when you think you can withdraw them
They raise the minimum age... Period.

Even basic necessity such as roof over your head
cause more than half a million.

I just got my @#%! attempt of balloting for flats.
Queue number: 1500+
Availability of flats: 800

Please enlighten me..... and my fellows that are above 1000....



- Singapore is a good place for entertainment
Definitely not a good place for retirement -

You decide your own pay, how cool is that?

Tell me about it!

I raise some taxes to help the poor.
I raise my group's pay to retain my good staff.
I donate any pay hikes to the charity.

If I were given/paid that kind of money,
I even donate 50% of my salary to the poor and charity.

So who are you voting for?
=)

So politics, here I come!

Desperate Measures - Battery Charging

The weekend is approaching.
I have my CANON Image Stabiliser IXUS 800 IS camera with me.
To take beautiful shots and share it with my loved one.

HOWEVER, my camera's batter is running low.
HOWEVER, I brought the charger.
HOWEVER, I couldn't charge the battery.
WHY-EVER, because the hole just wouldn't FIT!
HOWEVER, I thought most hotels have shaver plugs in the bathroom.
HOWEVER, Waterfront Hotel is the odd one out.

Then here comes the ultimate Mr Bean classic solution.

First I went around nearby shops, Giant hypermart, provision shops.
I couldn't find any two plug convertors for my camera battery charger.




My PINs are not wide enough. The holes are not near enough!!! Ahhh!!!
AND, They are all selling adapters for three pin plugs. GRRRrrrrrrr

Then I tried my charger with an "opened" plug head.


It works, NEARLY!
Damn it, the distance between the pins are still too wide.
I need something else.

This was when, a shiny reflective connector sparkled me!
GOD sent me a message. I looked down...
I found my saviour!

A loose connector (from one of those opened plug head)
My mind was thinking, what the heck, no matter what I gotta charge my battery.
*Look left, Look right*
Speed-of-Light downward scoop, into my pocket it goes.
I have got an additional connector. *Smug*
Now I just have to buy one normal three-pin plug.
(and link them up)

There I have it, all the required stuffs, dismantled, and ready to CONNECT.

DESPERATE MEASURES:
===================
First I place the additional connector to the neutral pin.
Then I twisted the paper clip so that it can slot through to holes
of the connector and "link" them up together.


Next I used scotch tape to secure the paper clip and shiny connector to the neutral pin.
Then this was the moment... I plugged it into the wall socket. *Glurp*
(With no protection at all, 240V might just be coming through my heart!)
Precaution has been taken to ensure that no current is going through the socket

TAKE A FLIGHT TO KL AND

Looks good. Into the wall already!
Let's do it!

Shit, I have got to hold it there while it's charging!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!



Turns the switch on!
IT WORKS! Alright! (Any one needs electrical lessons)
*Knock knock knock*

Horrorscope for some, Hosehscope for many

New Year is here, New Beginnings Begins with Scopes!

Your HORROR / HOSEH scopes for Year 2007

Read it with a pinch of salt.
Read from many sources to fill up a bottle of salt.

Rat (Good)
Luck CycleThe welcoming rays of the Sun would send a sweeping end to the turbulent troubles of the past; you are back to your cheerful and sophisticated self again. Troubles relating to affairs of the heart would slow down your progresses; nevertheless, good prospects in your work remain realisable with the release of these inner concerns, a healthy physique and an earnest drive.


Ox (Bad)
Luck Cycle Your moods and emotions would become muddled with your general luck sinking to the bottom of the pit this year. Coupled with the slanderous rumors made by villains around you, this year will leave you feeling very helpless. The darkness to be endured before the light of dawn is a tough nut indeed; notwithstanding, good opportunities await at the start of the prosperous next year if a courageous attitude and sufficient preparation are taken, in forging through the many obstacles now.


Tiger (Average)
Luck Cycle In general, this year marks the ideal period to get married; you need to achieve a breakthrough against your self-inflicted obstacles, in winning what you want for yourself. Career wise, unprecedented assistance by benefactor would see it sailing smooth; however owing to the sudden turn of events in your favour that leave you undecided, opportunity for leap promotion would be lost. Take things as per normal and you will get to see a harvest of surprises.


Rabbit (Good)
Luck CycleA series of good fortune will send you brimming with joy; continue with the great work and don’t stop, soon you will get to realise an even more prosperous harvest. Avoid legal conflicts and be careful in examining legal contracts and documents. In general, you are all well to deal with matters of significance but worries amass over trivial matters this year.


Dragon (Good)
Luck CycleAfter a year of miserable toils and massive struggles, the time has finally arrived to mark an end to the cycle of your nightmare-like realities. The glorious light at the end of the tunnel is calling for a generous spirit, in embracement of some long ranging aspirations towards a brighter tomorrow. Meanwhile, despite being fortunate this year, the stars of sickness and emotion continue to wreck havoc; thus, do not neglect your health and family in the midst of striving for successes.


Snake (Average)
Luck CycleWith the quick spiraling of your luck this year, coupled with the unkind clash with Tai Sui, it is inevitable to be feeling low in mood and morale. Your past glory is gone; you need to accept the cruel reality as such before taking steps to adjust your plans. Be determined and courageous in forging ahead nonetheless; lay the foundation for next year’s development.


Horse (Good)
Luck CycleUnder the co-existing support of Long De and Zi Wei, the two stars of super auspiciousness, the already fortunate atmosphere is further boosted to a level more. Despite this, do not be complacent but continue to evaluate and monitor your performance for superb results. Arrogance destroys and humility benefits; keep a low profile, be agreeable and sincere in all matters to escape jealousy and backstabbing by others.


Goat (Bad)
Luck CycleWith the wheel of fortune turning against goat this year, the unkind ill fortunes would caused the latter to be very depressed. To make things worse, the lurking of super destructive stars like Bai Hu and Tian Xiong also indicate troubles by villains, akin to a torrential downpour that continues for days. Be of good cheer and take this period of temporary misfortune as a form of chastening in life, learn from your failures and new hopes portend next year.


Monkey (Good)
Luck CycleWith the co-shining of the two auspicious stars of Tian De and Fu Xin, injected with power, this year sees the return of the rejoicing monkey through the sudden upturning of the fortune wheel in your favour. Overwhelmed with confidence in all matters and towards all people, everything would be miraculously turned around, akin to an amazing resuscitation. Take care of your own domestic matters though and meddle not in the affairs of others so you will be able to concentrate on the fleeting good fortune.


Rooster (Bad)
Luck Cycle Fortune remains unfavourable this year; the looming presence of villains could lead to insurmountable troubles and woes. Tolerance is golden; meeting your opponents head-on may not be the solution to your problems; more than anything else, it might even lead to boycott. Practice the wisdom of reverse strategy; retreat on challenge and gather strength so you become even more formidable, in wait for the good fortunes next year.


Dog (Average)
Luck Cycle Bidding farewell to the ill fortunes of the past and emerging from the still and thick fog sees you brimming with joy; however, good fortune is yet to be fully bestowed to you. Your mood would be fabulous this year but you should take care not to indulge in getting your head in the clouds. Give more love and attention to your family; blaming each other not only render no solution to the problem but lead to probable tragedies of the domestic as well.


Pig(Average)
Luck CycleHaving sailed through a year of lavish prosperity, the following two years are characterised by frequent clouds and occasional rains. In all your dealings and aspirations, be practical and take one step at a time. Given the unfavourable clash with Tai Sui and surrounding antagonistic stars this year, breakthrough is only possible if a strong and determined will is exercised.


All thanks to which ever Master that provided the scopes...

5 years 1% increase?

That's where we stand.
The middle income employees.
Working 60% around the clock.
Sleeping 25% around the clock.
Enjoying 10% around the clock.
Bonding 5% around the clock.
- THE youngest KID also knows that he/she is getting lesser friends -
(Due to low birth rate)

** Every man on the street is complaining **
Where got time?
What the fu*k!!!
(Sorry, the correct line should be:
Where got time to FU*K!!!)



Hahahahahhahahahahaha


That's when he keeps himself in the room.
Where internet can bring him over a million miles.
To make new friends, around the world.
Where locals are no longer, popular.


As Quoted:
"
The income of the bottom 30 percent of the population has fallen. What is more worrying is the fact that the majority of Singaporeans in the middle class has only seen about a 1 percent increase in nominal income in the last 5 years. It is not just Singapore - economists say stagnant wages is a global problem, and the chief reason for this is globalisation. India and China are introducing a large pool of skilled and unskilled labour to compete with the labour forces of industrialised countries. Singapore is susceptible to this because of its open economy. 123,000 jobs were created last year and economists estimate some 70 percent of these jobs went to foreigners.
"

So when they claimed economy is good.
Who are the ones that are suffering?
Those 70% whose jobs are being "replaced" by cheaper and better qualified immigrants.

So what are we to the Government?

I hope I know the difference between
SLAVES
&
CITIZENS

-
May our increment flows in tandem with the GST hike.
Or you will see at Marina Square there to fly kite.
