I've been thinking abt bloggin for awhile now but was lazy to go upload my tons of pictures (from my birthdays, Penang, Fluffy, etc)... I'll get ard to it some day.. Ping always complain that Jieyin and me doesnt update our blog tat often.. Haha which is true, compared to the frequency she goes to her nutang website.. =P
Anyway, I've been hearing ALOT abt the financial mkts these days.. Wat with the subprime, banks losses and retrenchment.. Stock prices heading south and Oil price going north.. The whole mkt seems to be in a jittery mood and EVERYONE i've met who remotely has knowledge of wat recession is, are all talking about it.. Lolz, Benjamin even jokingly told Sharon and myself that this will be the first recession we go thru in our workin life.. I guess the '97 Asian crisis must be pretty bad and he still has strong reminiscence of it... O well, we'll see how things goes.. FYI though, some home news, inflation in Sing is supposedly 6% now and from 7 July, the government is raising abt half of the ERP prices (yet again!!!) by 50 cents - 2 bucks, of course new gantries are gonna be set-up too...
Recently in Straits Times, I just read an article tat says inflation is eroding the real gain in wages/pay.. According to MOM, even though the raise in wages, of close to 11%, is the highest in almost a decade, the inflation rate of 6.6% in our first quarter is definitely eating into the real gain!!! How to live in Singapore, you tell me??!!
Okie now random No 2..
I've done this small calories table for my colleagues a few weeks back..
And bloody Benjamin seeing my asterisk there saying "I wanna do squash!" cant help but to reply my email ,ccing Sharon somemore!, "I can see why you wanna do squash!!!".. CREEP!! I refuse to acknowledge his sarcastic reply and he came to my desk a few days later to continue taunting me!! Wat kinda boss do I have??
Nt like he doesnt need the 844 calories off his body!!!!! Humph!
Random No 3:
Raise charges yet again!!! Jus when I was thinkin of goin US next year.. DAMN!
That's enuff complain for now.. Tata~~
