Fri 1.8.2008 | 10:17am	Wage inflation NTUC chief concerned global economy heading towards stagflation http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/364051/1/.html "The worse thing that any country does at a time of high inflation would be for the unions and workers to push for wage inflation. Wage inflation is different from wage increment. Wage inflation means you are pushing up wages to fully offset the inflation," said the labour chief. pay raise .. say pay raise la ... wage inflation ..

Tue 20.5.2008 | 1:52pm	rule no. 1 best chain mail i have ever recieved !! just in case i didn't forward this to you. READ n LEARN 1. Men are NOT mind readers. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one 1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.. 1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will ac t like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a qu estion you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really . 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Mon 18.6.2007 | 12:38am	theres always a first time. Just realized that it had been close to 11 weeks since my last entry. Well life haven’t been all nice and well. Heaps of grievences but I was too tired to blog about them. Since I am at it I shall just give a few updates. April 07 I got a recontract for another 1 year and a decent increment according to industry standards however I am not ecstatic about it maybe because I expected more. Mainly because I know of my colleague’s starting pay and I am slightly below that and considering that I have put in so much time and effort, I believe that I deserve more. May 07 Took a short holiday with my family (Spain and France) to visit my sister who is doing her exchange in wroun (France). It was very nice, a very tiring one though. But I must say Spain simply gorgeous. I love the place although we almost got mugged. I shall blog more about my trip and of course more photos to come. June 07 Ok this is the reason why I suddenly decided to blog today. Yesterday I volunteered for Hougang FSC to bring the Guidance Program kids (GP is a Police initiative to give below 18 first time offenders a second chance, the kids have to participate in GP for 6 month, with counseling and group therapy, If they complete the program their record would be wiped clean) this event is a 10 hour night trek from West coast park to Mount Faber via Kent Ridge park and Labrador Park. This is the most HAIR RAISING experience I ever encountered in my 26 years. The route was planned for the kids to take a solo walk along the tree top broad walk at Kent ridge park. So as usual the kids were dispatched individually down the broad walk and it so happened that for some reason the boardwalk was very brightly lilted that day, quite different from what we remembered last year during the recee. I remembered that a lot of street lamps were spoilt and it was quite creepy. I parked my car at the end of the boardwalk and proceeded to the middle of the route as planned by Don (the social worker), however after 10 odd kids past my station I got a very bad feeling and I do not know why, so I decided to walk towards the end of the route just to check. I decided to stay at the end of the route and help the vols there do the after walk processing and debrief, when suddenly a Malay boy(Mun) staggered out of the route. He looked very pale and weak, we laid him down on the bench and tried to access the situation. He was shivering and seemed to be dazed. We carried him to the car and was about to rush him to Alexandrea hospital. When one of the other Malay boy(kelvin) stopped us and insisted that Mun was processed and not in any medical condition. He whipped out a Muslim Prayer card and shafted it in front of Mun. Mun immediately looked very afraid and shunned away. My hair immediately stood. It sent shivers down my spine. Kelvin immediately got 2 older Malay boys to help. When the 2 boys came they got into the car and blocked the exits of the car and they shafted the prayer card on Mun’s forehead and stared to chant prayers. Mun started to shake violently and screamed at the top of “his” voice which did not sound anything like the cries of a 15 year old boy. The other volunteer and me also jumped into the front seat to grab Mun to prevent him from struggling away from the older boys. This lasted for a whole 5 minutes. When it all came to a sudden stop, Mun stopped struggling and fainted. 5 seconds later, Mun woke up looking very lost and asked us why he was in the car and why there were so many people holding him. It was then when we knew that this was over. We brought him out to the pavement to rest. When he told us that he felt uneasy at the start but towards the end he suddenly felt a tap on the back of his neck and he blacked out. Freaky right? but thats not all … Mun insisted that we carry on as he wanted to pass his GP and not get into trouble with the police. So we calmed all the kids down and explained the situation to all and we carried on with the route. Labrador park … this time I was not around, according to Darren (the other volunteer). Mun was walking down the hill at Labrador Park where he looked very disturbed and kept looking around as if he heard or saw something. When they reach the foot of the hill, they bumped into an elderly Malay fisherman who looked at Mun very strangely then said “Boy what did you see? Come sit beside me … why you look like that? You saw an AH MUI ah” Mun’s eyes were wide open in a dazed stare. The Malay fisherman then took out a Malay incense and Mun got irritated and walked away. 10 mins later the feats hit him again, he started to shake violently and this time his hands were locked behind him with his fist clenched tightly. The older boy sprung into action and this time Mun seemed even stronger than the first attack. That’s it, Don changed the route and we were diverted to Vivo city to end the Night trek. Well thats my first "first hand Spirtual Experience".

Thu 15.3.2007 | 1:02pm	:) or :( ?? Just had a meeting with my boss to discuss my new contract... well my performance looks good based on their feedback. i spent the whole of last night formulating how i am gonna ask for more increment... when she got to the part about my increment just now ... i froze ... i couldn't verbalize my thoughts. maybe cause she said that i am getting a better increment package due to my performance and she kept emphasizing that i am already getting a very good increment and i have great potential in the team. by the way its below my targeted increment ... what more can i say right ? well i have to take comfort in the fact that out of 5 people who is due for renewal this month. Only 2 got the renewal and i am one of them. On top of that i am in a blardy good company, at least the name is good, RIGHT ? please dun tell me i am in denial .... FUCK i am in denial !!

Thu 1.3.2007 | 6:28am	well i don't think i have much energy left to update my blog... totally worn out from work .. lets take yesterday for example. i worked til 5am and i was planning to go back a get a good rest since i had been working late the past 2 mornings.. so the plan was to get to the office at 2/3 pm since we are only able to do some stuff after they refreshed the system in US at our 3pm. so i happily went back to get some sleep.At 1230pm i managed to drag my sorry arse outa bed, washed up and decided that it might be a good idea to turn my laptop on before i change and get to work. TO MY HORROR i have gotten a shitload of mails regarding the issues i was handling the morning before... i panic sia ... called the office to find out that they were desperately trying to look for me the whole morning, but my phone was dead. PANIC SIA ... i wanted to resolve the issue from home but my laptop dead on me. double panic cause they scheduled an emergency call with the US folks at 1.30pm and another at 2pm. ok work aside, FUCK ... theres nothing much to talk about since i spend so much time at work ... ok CHRISTIE i admit, I AM A WORKAHOLIC. Hi everyone my name is Keith and i am a WORKAHOLIC... I can't sleep if i don't check my e-mails before jump into bed. hmmm... well there might be something that i am into now.. Canoeing .. i am so excited.. i love canoeing... the sun, the sea and capsizing !!

Ita been a long time since i updated my blog huh ... had been very busy at work and i shant go on about how fucked up it is. but "OVER WORKED AND UNDERPAID" is definatly the best one liner to describe it. as much as i keep going on and on about how much i bitch about the job... i love it !! hahaha anyway just a few things that are worth blogging about... the other day, i made a trip to Funan to get a blue tooth earpiece and i met the best sales staff in the world shop 1. me :: tell me something, is there any bluetooth earpiece that is able to activate the windows mobile "voice command" function. the chap :: huh ? *looking puzzled* me :: you know the voice command function inbuilt in all win Mobile phones ... the one that activates the voice activated dial function ? the chap :: *looking more puzzled * err CAN YOU NOT BE SO HIGH TECH ? WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF you work in a IT shop wor ... and you ask me NOT to be so high tech. Shop 2. me :: so whats the diff about the platonic and jaber earpiece ? the chick :: the Platonic one is better ! me :: HUH ? the chick :: better lo ! me :: why ? the chick :: durable ... better lo ! WTF WTF ..... buay tahan .... so much for service huh ! oh well, i reckon thats Singapore. so on another topic, i was watching Blood diamond and i must say it is a fantastic show ... loads of violence and a wonderful performance by leo. but what puzzled me was the Names. ok the show is placed in Africa but the guys all had fairly decent names like Solomon Vandy, Capt Poison and Benjamin... I was hoping to find people with names like !-Piley (knok-Pi-lay) blardy hell .... And i thought Russel peters was telling the truth about how he met this African chap who is called Knok Pilay. FUCKER !! ok thats it for now ... i have heaps to blog about ... but i am too busy these few months esp when sarah is back ... barely have enough time ... catch up with you guys soon ya ...
