Yup.. We also leh.. My boy and I also burned on Friday night.. Actually, not alot of ppl burn nowadays.. I think my boy and I were the youngest couple that night to burn the offerings..

Dunno leh.. Me moving office this week.. Super busy.. Move until next week.. I was telling Air previously.. Later in the noon, I might MIA for a while.. Going to new office to settle some craps..

Morning!!

Aiyo.. That's my point.. We got no $$ to buy landed to stay.. And got no interest to stay condo.. So, buy condo and invest.. Wait till 70 years old liao, then buy landed to stay.. What thing?? How come I dunno??? Tell me!!!!

Hmm.. Condo is cheaper for investment mah.. no $$ like you to think of landed lar.. How come Air's husband cfm have??

Wah.. I envy your wife.. Must printscreen and show to my boy liao.. But on a serious note, you are someone who sure know how to plan.. Not many guys are like that.. Some guys just live and relax.. Wah lao.. I din know ur so into 4D and Toto.. Don't think like that lar ger.. I am always like that.. Then end up now, very stressed.. My money also not enuff!!!!

Not really lar.. We are all consider low-paid workers.. I think only Phantom is consider executive.. I see myself as entry-level worker.. I also don't save much.. All goes to the house.. Same one lar.. Once married, it's like that one.. Yup.. I certainly do not deny.. But 1 thing for sure, I will not sacrifice my health or family for more $$.. My family and health come 1st..

Hmm.. Okok.. I do have friends saying the same thing as you.. Still young? Not exactly.. Decent job is quite true.. As for my boy, he used to earn much more like you.. Paycut by the 50% mark.. But in totally different industries.. So, can be accepted.. Furthermore, his old job is very time consuming.. Constant drinking and smoking.. Too unhealthy.. I rather be 50% poorer than to see him sleep at 4am.. With the increasing petrol, ERP, carpark etc, very hard to own a big car lar.. Really.. Quite siong.. That's why I think we are going to be stuck to our Evo for some time.. Not that we mind, but we certainly welcome upgrades.. For us, we are content with our current home.. Not really into landed.. Maybe buy condos for rent..

Hello.. This topic feels very close to everyone's heart today.. Why stress and demoralised??

Aiyo.. 180K?? That's very far for me.. A near impossible dream.. You are now like what? 100K per year? That's why you can actually set 180K.... Fierce..

Sigh.. I also working towards a better quality life with my boy.. But to be frank, my boy and I had this conversation before.. Everytime I complain about something, my boy will remind me to take it easy.. Coz I am always stressed up, even about the smallest thing.. Seriously, I don't know what I am striving for also.. I can't seem to be satisfied.. The more I earn, the more I find it peanuts.. We can be driving Evo now, but I am dreaming of an SLK or Spider 2 years down the road.. My colleagues from China always tell me that I already have alot more than people my age.. Ask me to relax and sit back and enjoy life abit instead of worrying myself over the smallest issue.. I guess the stress factor is catching up on me...

That's good.. Glad for you that you have backup.. At least you have ppl waiting for you to join them once you quit.. No worries.. Phantom!! You are such a good husband!! Jiayou!! Bia until very tired at times.. Sometimes, I wish I can slow down my pace and look at the world in a different light.. It's very meaningless to bia like mad just for a better quality life.. And how do we measure 'quality'?

Everyone works for money.. It's no surprise that you are feeling like that after a long time of getting peanuts.. Hmm.. But some bosses are like crap. They will just pretend that you are satisfied with what you have.. Until you voice out.. They have nothing to lose.. So, if you don't let them know that you have value, they will just carry on with their lives and ignore your needs and wants.. Everyone is selfish.. If can save, save lar.. Why give increment or promotion if my staff is still working hard away?

Wah.. 40% leh.. That's a freaking big amount.. Unless your pay is only 2000 to start with.. I also fear losing moltivation at work.. Lack of it can really makes one tired and sick of striving.. Ok lar.. At least they still look into it.. They know there are head hunters 'hunting' you anot?

Have you voice out your concerns to your management? I guess if they can keep you by giving you what you want and need, it's a win-win situation for both parties.. Your wife is so cruel..

My previous company lor.. Everything also want to budget budget.. Can save then save.. Very ngiao boss.. Taiwanese.. Here is tonnes better.. But like I said, humans are never satisfied.. Starting will wow and exclaim like sua ku ppl.. Now, got used to it liao.. Then start to say some stuffs like he's being too wasteful etc.. Maybe I can hope that he have another baby boy again? Then increment will confirm be good..

Okok.. Will check the name of the plant for you once it's confirmed.. Wah lao.. At least you still have keychains.. Free or not, I don't even have 1... Hmm.. not exactly share his wealth.. To him, it's a way of showing ppl how successful he is.. He wants face more than anything..

Aiyo.. You just got increment leh.. Leave for what? Unless you already got better offers outside..

Orh.. No problem.. You need the plant name, you let me know.. I go get the brochure for you.. I saw my manager looking at it just now.. But I paiseh to ask from him.. We can never understand how it feels lar.. To him, a few thousands is like 10 cents to us.. How to be in his shoes? Beri hard.. You know ar, guests from overseas, he will buy gifts from them.. From Mont Blanc top range pens to the 20k range watches from The Hour Glass.. That's why I am hoping for a nice watch from him this year.. Although not 20k, but maybe a few hundreds?? Aiya.. The house is magnificent lar.. It's located at Sentosa Cove too.. Damm chio can.. If you have the time, go watch tonight.. Last episode liao.. After you see that house, you will know what is rich ppl.

U wanna buy issit? If you want, I can help you ask.. Let me know if you really want to get.. Then I can shun bian help you ask the price also.. Sigh.. I saw the pricelist for the sound system cum entertainment in his room.. Very scary.. Can pay off our Evo liao.. Sometimes, I wish he can donate abit of his $$ to me.. Btw, you got catch the 9pm volleyball show? You saw the house that Christopher stays in that show?

Have lar.. Not poor plants lar.. Those plants are known for having the special 'power' to take in pungent smell or air.. That's their function.. We rent those plants only.. not buy.. I think should be quite exp bah.. I heard from my ger that my manager ordered about 100 pots.. Very kiasu.. Once in a while???? He better don't move again ar!!! But anyway, don't think will move again.. Coz my new office is not rented one.. It's bought by him already.. And initially, he only bought 6 units.. Then he find it too small.. And bought another unit.. Coz 1 million++... Siao one right? Just to make his own office bigger..

Becoz the handover to us is supposed to be on next Monday.. But the new office stink mah.. The paint and renovation smell.. So, we got had bought plants and those stuffs that can get rid of the smell.. According to the person who recommend the solution to us, the plants need at least 3 days to 'sniff' in all the smell.. Thus, we move on Thursday.. And boss want partial of the ppl in by National Day.. And he want everything to be done in 1 week.. So, last day also Thursday.. Not only Thursday.. People will still be moving on other days.. Just that not so tight.. But I still need to see to it.. It's the same.. But I expect more crap happening on the 1st and last day.. So, I am super sian..

Next Thursday till the next next Thursday.. So, I think I can't meet up with you guys.. Confirm need to work later than usual.. On the 1st Thursday, I need to move my recept there and ensure the new office is in workable condition.. The last Thursday is to ensure everything is clear in my current office.. Sian right? I say liao also low moral..

Issit? Skali US also not enough ppl leh? Nope.. No short break.. After my AD, we both were busy doing up the house.. We moved in the day before our AD leh.. Alot of things to clear.. How to go for short trip? Come back to office, my ex-manager's wife passed away and was away for 2 months plus... I got to clear all his work.. Then now moving office.. Have to wait till everything settle liao then can take leave to go holiday mah.. Arbo come back will die from the workload..

Having yet.. Will call them after the NATAS fair.. I am also hoping to go on the trip.. I need a break badly.. The last time I went out of Singapore is more than 4 years liao.. not counting in JB hor.. Plan B? Meaning if not enough ppl go Europe, you will change your package to US? We also wanna go Europe.. But next year lar.. Maybe also same period.. About October.. I am saving hard to go shopping in Paris.. But I only have 1 target.. At least still look glamorous on the outside leh.. Not so bad liao lar.. Some jobs, no image and no $$...
