6th April

Supposed to take-over the resale flat so that I can work on it before shifting in by before end of May, but something serious happened. One of the sellers passed away and becoz they bought the flat under tenancy-in-common they need a letter of probate before they can transfer the deeds over to me. Meanwhile....I am Fucked! luckily managed to have their understanding that I can shift in by end of this month of instead of waiting for the whole legal progress to complete the sales. That save me the trouble to seek loss of use of flat ( can claim interest of 10% of value of flat which is about 4K per month ). Already people is widow...so no point to push my luck to gain anything. Bad karma if I do that!

So now....blinked blinked and wait for the lawyer to get the legal paper and complete the whole progress.

Meanwhile...looking for job, have already sent more than 20 resumes out during the time I am back till now. A about a week! Yes, have heard from a couple headhunter companies and they have short-list my name for a couple of companies. So...just gotto wait for call to interview. They are mainly from big MNC and esp for their night shift operation which is in my scope.

Many things have changed since my last blog

Yes....but in the end, life moves on. For example....now I am jobless but I do have 2 jobs offered. I rejected one for MBS due to super low pay while the other is a new thing to me so I am holding out for something I am similar with. Manufacturing line.

Holiday

Going to US till end of month....good to walk away from trading for awhile to reflect on things before deciding whether to continue to keep low profile or go all out.

Rich/Poor divide in Spore

Time for the leaders to wake up if they still think they are doing a great job governing singapore.

Yes...for the rich ( 5% ), they are doing a great job becoz only the rich will get even more richer. Same for our leaders.

For the poor ( 20% )....too bad, this lot of people can go to hell or go over to Malaysia or Indonesia to live out your life as they don't matter at all to our leaders.

For those in the middle ( 75% )....well, we will train you to be in the service lines eg taxi drivers, guards, waiters, cooks once you got yourself "retrenched" from your manufacturing line.

Btw we have already allowed the population to grow by 25% by giving out the new citizenship and PR to 1+ million people.....eg pinoy, indon, indians, chinese, ang mo, malaysian and whoever has the money.

My personal view....yes, it is a wonderful place to live esp if you are rich as you have personal safety and whatever money can buy to live in Singapore. For the poor,
sorry.....better think of up-grading or go live somewhere else. For those in-between, don't sell your flat...always to ready for re-training and up-grading to do whatever job and vote for PAP or else!

Monday's Stock market

Well, as expected.....most markets "tanked" due to what is happening in middle east plus the fact by the "DROP" is US Dow last friday.

Hope the situation will stablised soon then the stock markets can calmed down too.

Only fear....of things happening in the Middle East

After seeing the news of what is happening in the Middle East....I have only fear that this may get out of control and cause great suffering to the people there.

Hope people will calm down and rethink what is happening and take a more peaceful way to work out their issues with the governments there.

Frankly I can understand what they are going thru....all the hardships and injustice but still I hope cooler heads can raise up to lead the people and settle the situations there before all hell break loose.

CNY coming soon

POWER....another 5 days and it is CNY "the year of the white metal rabbit".

After tonight....I'll be "off" until 10th Feb ( 11 days )before going back to work. SWEET :)

Wish everyone a "happy, healthy and sweet year ahead" and may all your dreams and wants be granted.
