looking fwd to ladies night and going for watch night and CQ for NY's eve party .. plus tom's bday celebration and going shopping with mum on friday and our potluck cum movie session on sat.. it's a week of celebration siah! it's time i party, since my mood was pretty bland and bad during xmas eve and xmas itself, not that it's a lot better now. but still, i should get out!

And i shall try very hard not to look at my bank balance meanwhile..

which reminds me, i should really take some time to talk to God more..

Update

merry christmas to you....

Finally , I have a chance to blog. As busy as I have been, e last week has been enjoyable. Since almost 2 weeks ago from company's dinner @ one fullerton followed by harry's bar, to zi peh's funeral wake e whole week. Then last friday was christmas dinner with denise & gang then watching midnight show princess & e frog with toby. Preparation of bintan trip & e trip itself & other things that happen along e way.

Slept till 1:30pm today then work out @ gym for 2 hours then walk half an hour to west mall to buy gifts. Damn it felt good to have a great work out. Peaceful steamboat dinner @ home w family.

Restless, so much on my mind.

Bitter yet sweet
enjoyable yet so inappropriate
too soon too late..

This week

really shocked on mon to hear that zi peh had passed away. first instinct was to kick myself in the a** really bad cos we should have gone down to see him on sunday but we didn't. I know my sis felt really bad about it too.. so many things in life should have done, ppl you should have treated better when they are alive. it's a cliche statement, but u miss smething only when you lost it bt then it's too late. i had to keep stoping myself from thinkin back on when he was close to our family,he has always been.....

hung out with a couple of folks, one of which i just happen to only know recently. fantastic character and so easy to hang out with.

AFter next week, i'll buck up on training again. ...

Foreign Talent

Sometimes I wonder if an MNC decides to draw out from a company and decides to set up a new plant somewhere else, is it really the locals that takes a bad hit?

It might not be, being based in this MNC for a few weeks, looking around less than 50% of the staff on this floor are Singaporeans. Foreign talent? I doubt so. I don’t’ think all of these jobs are not doable by locals. More and more Singaporeans are becoming expats and foreign talent overseas. Sometimes, foreign might not be good.


Having a foreign company set up office in Singapore and yet hire non Singaporeans? Locals don’t benefit and we have so many non Singaporeans who aren’t really interested in integrating into the lifestyle of Singapore taking up PRs, what extreme benefits does it bring?
