Saw this very unpleasant article on asiaone and I believe it would have appeared in a few more places. The person whom post the article was trying to tell netizens that car owners should stop complaining abt driving costs in SG. Such as the hike in petrol and ERP charges.. But the way he sound towards the end really piss me off..
"Many Singaporean motorists, including myself, purchase a car for convenience, and if we can well afford it, we should not be complaining about parking rates and other costs of maintaining a vehicle."
I do feel he's trying to simply say "Not rich dun drive la.. stop grumbling.."
Has he ever wondered who these complaints really came from?
Apart from the miser minority whom drive a car to feel a lift in status, the real complaints and victims are the people who has to survive on driving, private bus drivers, delivery ppl and taxi drivers perhaps..
You think they hav a choice when it comes to petrol and ERP increment? they lan lan hav to drive and suffer, all just for the family, making ends meet. Not like what the write says, "..we should not be complaining about parking rates and other costs of maintaining a vehicle.." They dun wan to maintain a vehicle.. but do they have a choice? NO!!!
You better not post another bladdy article complaing ur kids' school bus increase their fee again..

Lunching in Raffles Place area
Raffles place has indeed developed a culture of its own, that is so uniquely Singapore, by the number of tissue packets on the seats than the number of ppl looking for seats.
Well, I just discovered another interesting fact, is the conversation which ppl talked abt.
You dun have to eavesdrop on the person sitting next to you, abt what they are talking abt and what they are complaining abt. They seems like they are nvr shy to share with you. It will definitely always be some complaints from the office!
Usually, the morning accumulated nonsense and unhappiness, will all be spilled during lunch, already there is not enough time to eat, the person sitting next to you will still be grumbling, "whoa lao, that betty hor, ppl 9 o'clock work, she come in at 9.30..", "the thing Candy ask me to do is ridiculous, y? think i'm her maid ah.." etc etc etc..
Since it's Monday, these complaints are unneccsary louder, the way they sound, they are nvr wrong, but what can they do when they go back office again? Behave like nothing happen and work...
Well, it's not ethically or moralely (think the spellings all wrong) unsound or bad, but hav you wondered who is sitting next to u? could he/she be your new colleague or ur new boss, even worse. Could that person know some one from your office, since half of the ppl working there wears a pass during lunch? Imagine the foreigners moving ard us, do we want them to have an image of Singaporeans as really complaint king / queen? it's really about time to shake away these tags!!
Since the morning is already bad enough and nothing can be done, well, y dun we just try to forget them and share wif your lunch mate what happening / happy / interesting / funny things is goin around you over the weekend? wouldn't that be more interesting and enjoying? hav a gd laugh and go back to work smiling.. and hav a better day from there on.

Battle of Red Cliff Review
While the whole world is queueing up to be the first to get their hands on iPhone, I'm proud to say I'm the first few hundreds to catch 赤壁 in Singapore first. (lame, nvm..)
Well, gd show overall, with a disappointing ending, not becoz it's lousy, but becoz there's no ending.. Should have thought of that when I realised that there is no burning ship on the trailers. The whole theatre complained and you can hear whispers ard you saying "Huh?! that's it??"
Overall still a not bad show though.. gd battle scenes and some funny parts to entertain the ladies not there for the history portion, for historians, it's kind of 三国演义 的演义, watch it and you might understand what i trying to say.
Complaints about Lin Zhi Ling being a "vase" in the show, just like a friend brought it up, "How can 小乔 not be a vase in this show?" So what if you put an Oscar winner at the role, nothing much she can do for that role, so stop complaining..
