i am asking myself why i did what i did, and the only honest answer i can come up with is, cos i just felt like it.

and i am really not okay with that.

Reconsider 5-day week?
by Jeremy Au Yong

MORE free time did not result in more babies, so people should go back to work on Saturdays.
Nominated MP Loo Choon Yong on Tuesday threw up the most provocative suggestion during the Budget debate when he questioned the benefits of the five-day work week.
Speaking on the second day of the debate on the Budget Statement, he said the move to a shorter work week by the public sector and then the private sectors in in 2004 could have eroded the Singaporean's work ethic, while not improving the fertility rate in any meaningful way.
The number of live births only inched up to 39,490 in 2007 from 37,485 in 2003.
'We should accept that as a people our procreation talent is not our forte - nothing to crow about,' he said.
'I urge the Government to take steps to determine whether our productivity and competitiveness have been affected by the five-day week and to review the policy, if necessary,' he added.
Dr Loo had unleashed this stunner as he voiced concerns over what he called the 'all life and very little work' attitude of the younger generation.
He pointed to Straits Times reports on how to maximise leave by taking advantage of public holidays that fall near weekends as an indication of an erosion of the work ethics.
'I have nothing against our young Singaporeans having fun and partying. But I hope they will work as hard as they play,' he said.
Declining productivity was also a concern of Mr Zainudin Nordin (Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC) although he broached the subject from a different angle. He pegged the dipping productivity figures in recent years to an over-reliance on foreign workers.




sigh.

im still trying to figure out at which point leo dicaprio stopped being a boy and became damn man.

ohmygawd.

remind me to send god a memo that the future love-of-my-life should be cut from around the same mould as leo dicaprio (i mean i think its quite a reasonable request what)

sigh anyway i am very happy today aside from the dampener that i am not off tmr. -cries-

firstly, i got abit of mahjong monehhhhh from my super competitive (YA ITS TRUE AND THE THREE OF YOU KNOW IT MUAHAHAHA) kakis.

but i heart you all.

also, do not underestimate the joy and satisfaction one may get from finding that the books that have been off the shelves in borders have finally made their appearance! ya la ya la damn geeky i know.

rosamond lehmann -heart-. one day my pile of books that are stacked precariously above my bed will drop on my head and i will not want to imagine the ludicrous headline that may appear when that happens.

hokay i am going to watch the departed now and imagine that leo dicaprio will discover one day that i am the love of his life. -beams-
