A Gentle Reminder Sometimes, we do need a reminder. A kick in the arse as it is. And therefore, from One of the Great Orators of Our Time: "Never give in -- never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.

Winston Churchill, the one we call the Justifications, Reasons, and Why The Gahmen Needs A New Publicist Keeping up with my usual reading of daily affairs via Jean's Blog, this thought occured to me. Funny how come there is a justification for increasing prices, but there's also a justification for keeping employees' salaries at the same level. Now if both justifications are justified... where's does the money from this increase go to? And that is why, all too often, I ask the question why in the Sweet Love Yeap. So I got a Significant Other. Proof that Yours Truly does have a heart, and it's not just focused on alcohol, partying, and sex. Oh wait... Random Musing If life deals you a bad hand, would you fold, or would you play on? The Sweet Irony You know how the gah-men has been pushing for clean and green Singapore. You see how we try to reduce emissions by making it expensive for the average joe to drive.

Yet taxes are reducing so it's "easier" Mad Talented Kid More evidence that Life is not fair. But some times, the unfairness result in things of beauty.

This thought came to me when I was reading a thread at THE BAR. You know, career advancement and better prospects are such vague terms. What does it mean to you? Different job scope? Management-level duties? More money? Snazzy title? A hot secretary that gives outstanding blowjobs? Corner office? What?

Changing The World, One Compliment At A Time I was on the bus the other day, and saw an act of kindness. The bus driver stopped gently, opened the doors and walked to an old man in the bus. He then leaned closed and told the gentleman that it's his stop, and proceeded to help him down the bus, taking his time to guide the shaky old man with a walking stick down the steps and into the bus stop before driving off.
