S$50?

yday received an unexpected call from a long time friend. She asked if VS is going to set up a booth at eoy07. i said no coz im not free on next sat. So, asked her hw have she been. she said "oh, yday was my last day at work (as a child care teacher). "why did you quit?" i asked. "oh, they didnt keep their promise of giving me a S$50 increment and also didnt arrange any upgraded course for me, so resigned". "......."

Would you quit your job in such cases? I wouldnt IF i see the prospects in this job. I can jolly well pay for my course (to avoid the bond), upgrade myself while staying in this job and finally, with my new qualification, find a better job. Now my friend is busy looking for another job, preferably in admin or any duties that are "light" coz "i want to prepare for my pregnancy (she just got married this June), so i cannot do "heavy" chores" ..it was another ?????for me. @.@"

S$50 can be easily obtained by doing A DAY'S part time job over the weekends, rather than waiting for it after 1 YEAR at a job. Perhaps it is layman's thinking of waiting for increments..just like scenes i saw if i pass by Raffles place or Cityhall during lunch time. There will be flocks of OL (office ladies) and OM (office men) boarding the train and going for lunch together. This scene is like herds of sheeps going through the same motion every weekday..same goes for ppl who board company buses to and after work....

Another friend smsed me on Wed saying "sorry, i didnt call you as promised (promised since 2 weeks ago or something). It is because i am still struggling as before". Ive lend him S$100 to sign up for starhub's maxonline broadband so he can be entitled to a free laptop. That was in dec 2006...it is not about the money,,but about the way he thinks. Imagine he has been "struggling" since last Dec?

Do You Know:

1. After a body is cremated, the ashes will be put in the urn by the following sequence:

legs, body, arms, neck and face.

This is to ensure the soul will be "seated comfortably" in the urn. (heard from the bbc last nite when they interviewed a funeral parlour person in charge who was arranging the procedures for a Japanese lady who suddenly lost her mother coz of flu). He also said souls normally lingers around their graves or their urns. Miracles happened to this lady when soon after her mum's death, she was pregnant (after 10yrs of marriage!). She said it was a great blessing sent by her mum. Well said!~

2. How do God communicate with people?
By sending them miracles. So, whether you encountered good or bad things, there's definately something to appreciate/learn through all these experience. So, there is no need to be pissed off for watsoever. Reminds me of a song "If God is one of us, if He is a slob like one of us, seating on a bus on his way home" something like tat,,i dont know who the lady singer is.

3. What to do when you have serious water retention
Drink more water. This will help to flush away undigested food in your intestines (tats y water retention occurs) and your intestines can operate normal. The misconception is "dont drink anymore water". Head from 97.2fm's beauty segment with guest artiste Jocelyn Tay (think she got a chain of yoga/health spas and is doing some Phds for health beauty related courses). Also, hard fats in your body is impossible to remove unless using some external help (machines)..i think i have some hard fats in my tummy it never goes away no matter hw much i exercise T.T

Coincidentally, Jocelyn Tay mentioned in a newspaper interview saying "Academic qualifications is for people looking for jobs, I dont need it coz ive created jobs for people". She's indeed a Beauty with Brains!~

4. Collagen
Pure cocoa is another good source of collagen (ladies, straight up and listen,,haha). Heard from the same radio station. So, i went to buy the Van Houten pure cocoa powder 2 weeks ago. havent seen the effect though coz i only drink it 2-3times per week. It must be added with boiling water (+ milk) to ensure the powder is fully dissolved. didnt brew much coz not always have boiling water...

5. "When you manage your money well, there will be more money for you to manage"
Read from a Financial + Spiritual book last week and saw this statement made by the author. Hmm,, something to ponder about...

What i feel like doing now ...book an air ticket to Lhasa, Tibet!!~ It is such a beautiful place, also known as the Roof Of The World!~ Oh well, cant just do this yet coz got alot of gaze mags pre-order and calendar tat is still outstanding,,customers first!~ perhaps after da gaze calendar release,,i can go..XD

wat a long rattling,,,
