the weekend

had work on sat then had to attend a retinal talk after work from 12.30 to 4pm; and since i had nothing better to do on a saturday, i went. my colleague and i rushed to the main ctr of snec to attend as i tot. it was then my colleague told me that we are not there to attend the talk but to book appointments for interested guests - the talk was in mandarin. =p

however i still went and saw my other two colleagues there as there was another english talk in the morning. we were supposed to take over them but one of my kind colleague offered to stay back and help me out. . . sweeet!! as i was about to have my lunch i bumped into celia ong!!! my once upon a time lunch kaki. we were both surprised to see each other. it was good to seeing her though and we chatted for a while.

after the whole talk and everything, i bumped into celia again and we walked to the train stn. whilst she made her was home, i made my way to bedok to meet a fiza. met her for dinner and we chilled near her place for a while. met her little niece and she's so adorable but shy. then made my way back home, reached home before the clock strike 12.

sunday was kinda boring; met mel, corrinne, mellisa n mary for lunch. went to church in the evening; bumped into cassie after church. she's tall and really pretty now. also saw the girl in church again. hmmm.... wonder who she is.

a thought

i almost went into a relationship with someone but i decided not too as i know that i won't be happy in the end. so i'm still single and life goes on. understand what freedom means now. thank u!!

accompanied my mom to the polyclinic and as my mom can't really walk long distance now, so we waited for a cab . . . for amost an hr. even called comfort and the taxi were all booked. alas we got a cab at 11am, and it happened just as we abt to give up. told the taxi cab driver and he told me that ppl are just not happy working for the company anymore. the company expects more from the drivers but their welfare is not taken care off. hmmmmm.... guess everywhere is the same then. =p but something the cab driver told me struck me.

the cabs drivers used to have a percentage of the advertisement cost that they have on their cabs. however, that benefit has been taken away from them by the company. however, the cab driver still have the duty of maintaining the adverts. hence it wld be an extra job for them esp if the cab have adverts on the roof. (not sure if it goes the same as buses). furthermore, the company could tell the cab driver to report to certain place to have the adverts fixed and it will take 2 hrs which means no compensation. on top of that, cab drivers have to use their daily takings to pay for their summons, petrol and whatsoever.

of which i ask myself this question, if what has been said is true . . where is the justification in price increased? if the company are enjoying the profits from the adverts and not taking care of the well being of their employees why should the public suffer. it's always the same reason for the price increase. so again where is the justification.

marina bay sands singapore

went to starbucks city hall with my bud tony and headed to the marina bay sands singapore. took a walk on the helfax bridge which offers a beautiful view of the marina resort as well as the cbd. the casino opens it doors too, and its so funny. they have entries just like the ones at causeway - singapore citizens and foreigners. should have taken a picture but was not sure if i could as there were so many securities, maybe next time. below are a few pics that i took with my nokia 3120 classic. so pardon the quality. =)
