I will die early

I believe i will die early, so i dont really need to worry when i grow old i cant get a job. Who can really understand my agony? Why do i say i will die early?

Every single day, i am facing Singapore Number 1 transport problem. Travel by bus, it will jam till i want to scream...blood boiling to the max, travel by mrt worst! You have to worry hearing this:" Due to a track fault again, the train will be delayed." And i happily waited 25 mins for A TRAIN to arrive!

This is really ridiculous. Forever like this, when than can have no train or track fault? when can MRT goes smoothly? Still dare to say is world best transport? I waited till my blood vessel going to burst! I really will die early if this continues everyday. Seriously, i began to think if i should continue to stay here anot. I don't wish to die early.

Today, just travel from loyang to Pasir Ris mrt, took me 40 mins! A usually timing of not more than 15 mins trvelling time, today travelling time 40 mins!!! Can you imagine? Jamming all the way, whole Singapore route jam! If you think travel by mrt will be the fastest solution, you are DAMM WRONG! You can wait for up to 30 mins for a train to arrive!

When i move in to punggol, i need to check if there is any bus travelling from Sengkang to Punggol, although travelling by mrt is only 1 stop, what if i need to wait 20 to 30 mins for a train to come? I think by bus will be faster. It seems like every month mrt can break down 3 to 4 times! Bus the most jam ba, no matter how, there is no best transport.

They keep saying wanting to improve Singapore transport. How to improve? come on lal, its impossible! Looking at this situation, its impossible. I don't trust them at all! Never! Only know how to kill my cells! Suck my blood! Taking my money!

1) Two service disruptions on the North-South Line (NSL) that took place on 15 and 17 December 2011 caused major disruptions.

2) On December 18, 2011, all MRT Stations on the North-South and East West MRT Lines were not opened at the usual 5.30am, to perform checks on all trains and tracks. The MRT service will start at 10am instead.

3)MRT services down again...this time due to ' a signalling fault' in Jan 2012

4) Last: Singapore MRT North East Line Breakdown 15-03-2012

5) Today 27 Mar 2012,: Due to track fault again, Pasir Ris mrt delay 25mins.

Did i miss any dates out? I believe i did, but cant remember when haha. SMRT Jia you! Continue your good work in breaking down ya. Singapore route all continue to jam ya.

Encourage hiring for 45-54 age group Letter from Yoon Wai Nam 04:45 AM Mar 27, 2012

I refer to the Manpower Ministry's letter "More companies here tapping older workers" (March 21), which pointed out that 61.2 per cent of residents between the ages of 55 and 64 were employed last year. This means that 38.8 per cent of them were not employed. More importantly, the next cohort in line, between the ages 45 and 54, is a bigger age group (16.7 per cent of our population). This group has a high chance of being restructured out of work or may opt for early retirement. Any failure to keep them engaged in employment would lead to a population that is more dependent on economically-active and typically younger workers. We need to formulate the best way to harness the accumulated experiences of this cohort, persons highly qualified in their traditional industries. This group has witnessed the opening-up of China and the challenges of globalisation. There would be missed opportunities if we do not capture their experience either as mentors or as strategic hires in corporations and within the non-profit sector. Local companies and non-profit organisations should step forward and lead the way.

I got this article from ONLINE TODAY. I began to wonder, what will i be when i reach the age of 50? Am i still healthy enough to work? What about my hubby? We cant affort not to work as we still have a house to pay. Even you reach the age of 60, you might have to continue work, in Singapore, no work = DIE!

When you look around, actually not many old people gets a job, in hawker, i see young FT clearing the plates (Cant our uncles aunties do it, or they refuse to do), i see FT selling foods, selling drinks in kopitiam (Cant our uncles aunties do? Or they dont want to do), i see FT sweeping the shopping mall floor ( Why not our uncles aunties), i saw FT washing toilet (Why?). I saw FT working in ntuc (I think our aunties will be able to learn or they refuse to learn?)....

If i reach 55 years old and still need to work. Will they rather employ a young FT than me? They are cheaper and can learn faster. Compare to me (age 55), slow and may not be as cheap as them. I told my hubby to learn play guiter, in case when we are old and jobless, he can go play guiter and sing, i will go fight with FT to sell tissue paper, collect cans....cardboard.

I began to think of nottis, now they work hard, but when they are old, will they have a much better life than us? I believe they will, when they reach 50 plus, they might be able to retire while in Singapore, ifs impossible to retire ubless 1 million dollars drop from the sky. Really must consider get out of singapore. Really dont know, can only try to save more $$.

Why do i start to write blog

I started having my own blog long ago, before asingaporeanson even started. I realise i don't really know what to write so i stopped for a time being. Till the day he started to have his own blog. From there i slowly started to write again. Of cause cant compare with notti, i enjoy reading his blog, while reading i might either laugh or cry. Notti inspire me to try writing my own blog.

I never share my blog with others, nor did i post my blog in my facebook. I believe my english is not that good, alot of grammer mistake, who cares, i not going for competition. But i just dont like to share it in fb acc for everyone to read, its really nothing special about my blog. I cant write like notti, his english was bombastic, i believe his blog have more than 500 people reading it. So i am low profile, i dont need many people to come and read. I believe only afew like nottis, my hubby and some of my friends will read, thats enough.

Until recently, my hubby was the 1st one to post my blog in facebook, and people start reading, than notti post my blog too in his facebook, more people click to have a look. I know everyone's opinion are different. IF unrelated people want to come kpo and read my blog, and YOU dont like what i write, thats your problem. In the 1st place i never INVITE you to read. I NEVER FORCE you to read, so dont read ya. I dont welcome different channel people to read. (Alan, i am not talking about you ya, but i have to say your english damm powerful heeheee.)

I dont write everyday, dont actually need to write every single day. I only write when i have something in mind which i wish to say it out, happy, angry or sad. I am free to write whatever i want, whatever i wish haha. I wont change because some unrelated have too many opinion, non of my business.

Till now i only read 1 person blog, thats asingaporeanson blog. I like reading his blog, others, i am not interested to look or read. I dont care what they write or think, i just not interested, they are unrelated to me. So why read? I read notti's blog because he is my good friend, i would want to know hows his life is now and hope everythings good will come to him.

I hope to see him back for a visit soon....hubby and me waiting to treat notti's family ICE KACHANG!

Weight gain after marriage

I believe every women is afraid to gain weight. I have always maintain 47-48kg till I get married. My weight was suddenly like stock market, shooting up to 51kg. Everytime I weight myself I wanted to cry. I am trying to loss weight as I cant fit into my jeans, it really upset me, am i eating too much? I dont really want to go weigh myself now. Everytime see the weigh still the same, i feel demoralized.

Everytime i see my fats, i feel so upset, knowing within short period i cant slim down. Why are my fats coming to me....haiyo....go away please!

I have been cutting down on the food i eat, if possible every monday to thursday night i will go home, eat my oatmeal for dinner, with a dish of veges or soup. Only friday, saturday and sunday i will eat abit more. But will try to control of the amount of food i ate. During lunch i will try to eat only sliced fish bee hoon soup, maybe every wednesday i will pamper myself during lunch, mon, tues, thu and fri sliced fish bee hoon soup only.

Recently i start my jogging routine again, which i have stopped for many many months. Just started last week, every tues and thurs, after dinner i rest 1/2 hr, than went downstair, to the park nearby, walk for 15 mins before i start to run. If i am not going out on mon night and wed night i dont have to ot, i will make it to 3 times a week. Hopefully i will see results.

Really envy some people, no matter how much they eat, they wont grow fat. I think i eat air and drink water only also will become fat. I know i cant go back to 45kg, as long as i can maintain at 47-48kg, i will be very happy. I realise as age gets older, its getting harder and harder to slim down. But i will try to do my best, my jeans is my motivation now, as long i can get into my jeans, that means i am successful. I must jia you.

My Application Status

After receiving an sms from my future neighbour Jiaqin, i quickly log in to HDB Website to check my flat status. Sad to see its still 4th quarter 2012. Ah Qin told me there are 3 blks status changed to 3rd quarter 2012. Today i went in to check again, still the same. I was hoping i could see something different, its really disappointing, to see other blocks status changed and mine not yet. What i can do is only wait and wait.

Looks like while waiting i could only hope i could get my keys by sept or maybe next week my blk status will change to 3rd quarter 2012? I want to get my keys asap, so that i could settle everything and move in to stay. Been waiting for so many years, at first on and off we would go down to punggol to have a look at the progress of our block. But my hubby says by next next week ours will change the status to 3rd quarter 2012.

This year start we havent really went down once to look. Think hubby feel nothing much to see as progress not that fast. Lucky our neighbours are all very on, been posting lastest photos of our blocks in facebook. Our block are alway the slowest.

While waiting, maybe we can do some shopping. Today i actually did some online shopping haha...without telling my hubby. Opps.... i bought some kitchen appliances, only 2 to 3 items, with Ah Qin...i believe she bought more than me hahaha. Dear Hubby, dont scold me hor heehee. :p

To change or not to change

I am beginning to wonder why there are always some issue that put us in a dilemma. There is no right or wrong answer, but some things, i cant help my hubby make a decision. Its up to him to decide, i cant decide for him. Ultimately he will be the one to go to a new place to work.

Recently, hubby's friend call him to tell him his work place got a vacancy, ask if he is interested. Its a out-door sales job, on medical equipment, that means he will need to run out-door to different places and sell those medical products, he will require to hit target. Pay wise of cause is much higher than his current job, there will also be allowance plus commission. Problem is he need to convert his car as his car is a weekend car, if he wants to convert, need to top up at least $10K, it is not a small amount. And being in comfort zone for so long, at least at his current job, he dont have to worry. Every month fix pay.

Hubby's consent is what IF he did not hit target, will they just sack him? Our flat is coming soon, what if he suddenly kena sacked, than our flat how? Can we survive without part of his income for a few months? To convert his car also need alot of $$. And currently he still taking up a course sponsored by his current company, this course only end mid july. If he resign, does he need to pay penalty? 1 more reason is that he will be getting his bonus end April. If resign, will he still be able to get his bonus?

On the other side he feel he could do it, he like running outside, doing sales is ok for him. He wanted very much to change. He need a change, that's why he keep thinking and thinking. He worries alot. To me i see a opportunity, i wanted very much to support him, ask him to go ahead. But i have my own dilemma, if because of me, he decide to change, and if the job not successful, will he blame me? Its a totally new environment, different from what he is doing now. Will he become moody again?

If he succeed in this job, our income will be much better than now for sure, is alot better. I also dont know what to do. For me, i definitely will not consider, because i never like to go into sales line, i cant and dont have the courage to do sales talk. Hubby can, he is not afraid to meet new people and talk, thick-skinned. In the end, i do not have an answer, ask him change or stay put? I cant come up with a decision. I also dont wish i would be his reason to change or not to change, i know he would put me in consideration too, he has a family to take care of, soon flat coming, will it affect the HLE. He has to make a decision by himself, no matter what decision he make, i will support him all the way. Success or not, i will be by his side.

Its easy for me to change a job, as i wanted very much to change, i too have my own worries, what if 3 mths probation they dont confirm me? I will be out of job. I am doing my best, now i am not so afraid, people here are nice too, my senior was god to me too. This step out wasnt easy in the 1st place, i never know i have to courage to take a change.

Sorry dearest hubby, i cant make a decision for you. You have to decide yourself, although i wish i can help you by saying go or stay. If i do so, this will become my choice, not your choice. Its like a gamble, success or not, i dont know. But i will always be by your side. Love you always.

Shopping time...

Over the weekends, again we went to see one id, this will be the last id we see, so far we still waiting for quotation from 1 id and this id we just went to, we would choose either 1.

Later on we went to do some shopping, spended SOME $$$ haha. I bought a pot for cooking herbal soup, cutlery set. Small items can actually buy first, dont wish t wait till last min than buy. I even buy a cutting board, Ah Pooh bath towel and face towel.

I do kind of enjoy shopping, i only manage to buy afew items only. Should have bought more..opps..

Its look like only afew items, we spend almost $80 on these few items. I now start to think, what can i buy next? Oven? Yes i want to buy oven for my new home. I am very excited, its my own home, but now i am still waiting for key collection. I hope by this yr Aug i could get keys. Been waiting till i going to loss my patience but still, have to wait.

Recently we have been looking at ceiling fans too, thinking of which brand to take. We will be buying Fanco ceiling fan for our living room. And a stand fan to put in our room. Been looking at the price, i will not buy a too expensive one. A normal and good one will do. Our PR(Punggol Residences) neighbours now trying to see how many want to get the same ceiling fan, we are hoping to get bulk purchase at a cheaper price.

We are really lucky to have so many good neighbours, our PR will be a different place to live in. Only that our notti's family will be in Aus, but we will always remember them. Hope they will come back often so we can have our PR full attendance gathering!
