Junior Story ?!?
Yesterday i finally found the book of "The Phantom of the Opera" in library. it is in Juniour section. Can't believe it ! but the junior version is good in the sense that it tells the story in simplisitic manner. So you get the picture of the story. Not in depth, but good enough.
The phantom is actually a human being who was born ugly and abandoned by his own parents. He was a genius in architect & learnt some magic that allowed him to protect himself from others.
He fell in love with a lady who was impressed with his singing but not his look. He forced her to be with him and forbid her from seeing other man especially the man that she loved and loved her.
blahh.. at the end, he let her go cos he cant bear seeing her feeling sad as she cant be with the man she loved and he killed himself cos he cant live without her.
I wonder how will it be like in musical. Cant wait to see it !!!!

10 Things Happy Couples Do
10 Things Happy Couples Do
>By Mark Goulston, M.D.
Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is
over. They know that unless you maintain the garden of love, its beauty
will wither and die. In a recent column, you discovered the 10 relationship
mistakes to avoid. Now discover the 10 things that happy couples do:
1. Go to bed at the same time.
Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make
love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times.
They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do
things while their partner sleeps.
2. Cultivate common interests.
After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the
importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If
common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same
time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more
interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent.
3. Walk hand in hand or side by side.
Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or
side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than
to see the sights along the way.
4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode.
If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples
default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.
5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong.
If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find
something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find
something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples
accentuate the positive.
6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work.
Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch"
(neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in
the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.
7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning.
This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day
to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances.
8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel.
This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you
still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your
partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.
9. Do a "weather" check during the day.
Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust
expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For
instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable
to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you.
10. Be proud to be seen with your partner.
Happy couples are pleased to be
seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand
on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing
off but rather just saying that they belong with each other.
Even if these actions don't come naturally, happy couples stick with them
until they do become a part of their relationship. They know that it takes
30 days for a change in behavior to become a habit, and a minimum of six
months for a habit to become a way of life and love.
My comment : We are defnitely happy couples. we meet most of the criterias.. heee

Scary, i really not fond of knowing strangers reading my blog eventhough i know blogspot itself is open to everyone.
So, from now onwards, there will be no photos sharing or no personal stuff in my blog. I will just use this blog as a channel to relief my thoughts in general terms and events.
Strangers, pls look else where, My life has nothing much for you to tag on.

7% GST !!!
Received an email from a friend which make sense..
For those residing in Singapore...(this was sent to me by an ex-auditor)
Example 1
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $2,700 (8.75%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $480Total=$3,180 in Tax paid.
In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $2,600 (8.50%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 7% will be $672Total=$3,272 in Tax paid.
From $3,180 to $3,272, the effective increase is 2.89%.
Example 2
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $61,650 (21%).
If you spend $4,000 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $2,400Total=$64,050 in Tax paid.
In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $58,700 (20%).
If you spend $4,000 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 7% will be $3,360Total=$62,060 in Tax paid.
From $64,050 to $62,060, the effective decrease is -3.11%.
Example 3
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $187.50 (3.75%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $480Total=$667.50 in Tax paid.
In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000,
the income tax you need to pay is$175 (3.5%).
If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services,
theGST paid for 7% will be $672Total=$847 in Tax paid.
From $667.50 to $847, the effective increase is 26.89%.
The fact is:The poorer you are the more the GST is going to make you poorer !!!!

Long DistanCe COusinS..
so Martin finally returned call. He sounds so ang-mo but aunt Jackie said he looks very Asian. haaaa.
Tonight we r going out for dinner. Cousins meeting:
Chee Yin - my father's second elder brother's only daughter, my brother's age. The last time i met her was during her mum funeral which was more than 20 years ago. She only remembered me as little girl. I only remembered her as young girl who resembles her mum's look and crying in her room. The picture of this scene still in my mind. I was 5 or 6 i think.
Martin- Aunty KT (my father's 6th sister)'s son. I dunno which son. cos i dun remembered any of her children. 3 or so. Only remembered seeing one boy ( dunno which son, may not be Martin) with very cute blushing face when they visited us back in Melaka 20+ years back. When i was about 8 to 9 year-old. So Martin is a cousin i have never met before.
Catherinr - Martin's gf. well, i dun have to know her much cos from past history, my aunt's son keep changing girlfriends. This is just one of his girlfriends. Ang Mo !!!
I brought camera tonight, shall take some and posted here. my sis n Mum is so anxious abt how Chee Yin looks like now. heee.. a bunch of kaypohs..

The Moods of a woman
An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A woman is a bundle of contradiction,
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle a stranger alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose,
She'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk,
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk,
At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad,
She'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.
The Moods of a Man
Hungry!
Horny!
Sleepy!

Alexandra-Village
We have been taking Ikea free shuttle bus from Sengkang for weeks, Always the only 2 passengers for the last bus heee.. i think the driver must have tot. "These 2 again ? " well, we actually helping Ikea, instead of empty bus trip back to Ikea, at least they have 2 passengers .. kekekke
Since we alight at Ikea, so we usually have our dinner at Alexandra village. The seafood fried rice is nice when we tried for the very first time but second try not that good anymore. Conclusion we draw = the first night we tried was when we both very hungry, so anything tasted good.
We like the curry rice too, cheap and filling. Today we tried the char kuay tiao + punggol Satay <-- both unhealthy food. but once a awhile, ok lah. the char kuay tiao is good a bit oily but nice. The satay is so-so, nothing special.
Today Aunty Jackier called me up, telling me cousins Tim & gf were here in s'pore already. They r both from London. A long distance cousin i have never met before. Aunty KT aka his mother told me abt their trip months before, i gave them my cell phone no for them to call me when they r here, but seems like they prefer i initiate the contact than they call me ?? weird huh . but well, aunty Jackie said just give hima ring and bring him to some food court to try out local food. she said aunty kt sent email to us abt their trip which i checked and din see any emails from her. so no choice, tmw call up their hotel to see what they wanna do lah. siann..

MoOdy WomAn
She is someone who is so hard to get along. We know each other via my x-col whom ended up "not-friend" with her after their trip to Egypt. They just seem to be having very different personality that causes the "break" I went Bali with my this x-col we can get along, we even had great fun back then in Bali.
Somehow, she and i become buddy. We become gym buddy cos she went to the same gym and im sort of gotten into gym thing b'cos of her. You see, when u have buddy, easier to get hook for some hobby. that's what happen to me. We always meet in gym, chatting/dinner after gym. last time when i still have the membership, almost every saturday we will meet in suntec for gym in the morning, then lunch, sometimes shopping.
she has very strong character as in she cannot bear the feeling of being looked-down or belittled. she always think she is very outstanding in many ways including her look. At least i think that's what she thinks as she mentions it all the time.."im so pretty.. im so clever.. im blahh.." well, in a positive way, u can say she is someone who is confident but after too much of self-praised. u will feel, what happen to this person ? it'll better if she is humble and able to lower her self-esteem.
maybe cos she din grow up in a normal way like us. she has to work all her way to get her education, she is not pretty last time(fatter and has lots of pimples as she said) so now, with her education achievement and monetary capability, she can be someone she wants to be. But she forgot if she review her attitude and character she will be a lovely lady that she claim she is but i guess not to the eyes of others.
She likes to say things that hurt people, as she thinks it's funny to see someone feel hurt or angry. Im too familiar with her this trait. so i wouldn't get offended. she said she don't know why she do that, she even do that to her own parents. she cant get along with 2 brothers, cant get along with many many many people. Especially when she is not in good mood, she likes to do that to people around her.
I think it is not a very good hobby to keep. she offended people and that explains why her good friend turn cold towards her, her friend don't want to go out with her.sometimes maybe she is not happy that she don't want to see other's happy ? not too sure why she acted like this.
Hope the best for her. This is not the first time i said or write this for her. Hope she really clear her head and be a nicer person.

I think it is not a very good hobby to keep. she offended people and that explains why her good friend turn cold towards her, her friend don't want to go out with her.sometimes maybe she is not happy that she don't want to see other's happy ? not too sure why she acted like this.
Hope the best for her. This is not the first time i said or write this for her. Hope she really clear her head and be a nicer person.

Life Is A Gift
Don't take life for granted.
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."
This is how human brain changes when the status changed.
Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And fulfill it.

JaCuzZi shiok..
This morning check my blog, the pictures posted yesterday became so small that i cant see who is in the pictures. I guess must be the web hosting responding slow. yesterday changes only reflected now. shake head.
Yesterday Jen & i went to continental hotel gym. she is on off day and i don't need to work, just nice. We wanted to go for so long le cos they said very class. Since it's company's benefits, MUST enjoy it.
Actually, we don't need to bring own gym gear. cos our company coorperate plan covers all gym gear (clothing, shoes, towels and all). but we not used to wear their clothes, you never know how they process/clean those clothing/shoes. many people wear before. so we took the trouble to bring our own.
After our treadmill & some light weigh lift, we went direct to Jacuzzi.. shiok.. first time ever i had Jacuzzi. The water pressure from the spray is not so high, Jen was saying the one she went at cruise more shiok, u can really feel the water is massaging ur body.
We din go swimming, as the swimming pool is full with kids (tourist) and lots of angmo fryng themselves to be salted fish.
That was our 1/2 day at Hotel Continental Gym. Not bad at all. Next time may bring Laogong go. Can jacuzzi together.
Work-out for healthier life style !

Fun
Today we learn Rock and Roll. Cool. really not bad at all.
I find that participating in after work activities organised by company is good in knowing more people. Since my department is away from banking staff (RM, traders.. so on..) so this is a good chance to know them.
Boss din make it to the lesson today. i got more chances to mix around. Im not bad in that though. socialising :)
got to remember all the steps learnt. tmw have to teach boss some more. good to practise.
weekend can pratise with Laogong. next week can teach Cynthia. practise again. No wonder i can remember all the steps so well. haaa. cos without knowing i practise a lot.
Yipee !!
Company X'mas party on 10th december (Sunday) but We will have treat at temple. So miss it this year. The party will be held at Orchard Mandarine hotel or something. Sigh.. wasted !!
from this weekend onwards, i may be working every weekend till december i on leave. Siannn. but look at the bright side. Pocket fuller. so ok lah. gosh.. got to buy more facial product to take care of my skin. tired !

LCD TV Incident
Long stories actually.
We bought Sharp Aquos 32inch LCD TV on 30th September. Got the set delivered on 7th October. We watched few times (weekends when we dropped by), everything seems ok. the image is sharp & clear.
Never knew, last weekend, when we welcome our buddha into the house, JL's parents are watching TV while waiting for JL's uncle to come for the praying, the TV started to show dots and lines everywhere. I guess this is the first time we ever on the tv that long, maybe more than an hour. that the screen started to give way. Luckily, we found out now. as we bought the TV less than 2 weeks than.
So, monday i called out Sharp to go onsite for checking. i demand for 1-to-1 exchange as we bought tbe set for less than 1 month . I will NEVER accept a repaired set.
So, last friday, i took 1/2 day just to be there for the sharp technician. they only operate Mon-Fri. Two technicians came with the circuit board. They identified the problem as the main board is faulty. So they can change the faulty part on the spot.
But of course, i wont be that stupid to get a repaired set. I've paid so much for a "second" hand set ?? i told the techinician i want sharp to get me a new set. One of the guy is reasonable, he said the circuit board is from Japan, they can solve the problem fo sure.. blah.. the other guy is a pain in the ass. He is like teasing me saying, " you want a new set ? then u have to call our manager lor.. we cant do anything ! we just here to repair.. " and give me that kind of look which make my nerves go all the way up !!
I raised my voice and tell him, "be reasonable ! i bought this set for less than 1 month, and u expect me to let u repair and remain this set ?? put urself in my shoes will u take it ?" that jerk said " if every customer want to change new set , how can we handle ?" he is loud to me too . i told him " im being the customer i have the right to demand that. If you cant do anything, get me your manager number, i need to talk to him !"
He then sat down and acted as if "nothing to do with me" he said "you call the customer service lor" and mubling something dunno what . i raised my voice and ask him to keep quiet as i don't see the point of talking to such person with lowest brain power and lowest customer ethics !
Immediately, i called sharp and im pretty angry , naturally i have raised my voice. The customer service told me "be calm, madam. no point raising ur voice. slowly. tell me your problem. dun get angry as it may affect ur health".mm.. i was like.. hey, where is my EQ ? people dun have EQ, does not mean i should be like them ?
" so, i've soften. told her what i want and what his lousy technician is telling me". so after discussing with his technician and stoore. they said they have new sets that they can make the exchange as i've requested. So fine.
They asked me to call my dealer to see if they can get me a new set, as dealer usually can get faster. i called dealer, he said " can sharp approve for the exchange ? blahhhh.." so sharp said nvm lah, they will get one direct from shapr instead of from dealer as dealer seem uncooperative.
After the whole thing. I called up the dealer and ask him " you have given me the old set is it ? impossible that i just bought it n its part was faulty. " dealer said " no, we gave you new set, just that unlucky this set have problem.." i cut off and continue " n u r being so uncooperative. i bought from you, and ur set have problem and sharp agreed to exchane but u hesitating and ask so much ?? " he is trying to explain . i continue " i lost confident in your shop. i will not recommend friends to your shop for sure. Thanks for all the trouble" and i hung up the phone.
Well, no choice, sometimes we have to be rude to people who r not nice to us.
pheww..tomorrow sharp bringing a new set for me. i will make sure i on the tv for at least 1 hour to ensure it lasts that long. and i have to take another 1/2 day just to wait for hem to come. stupid !! 1 day leave gone !
