- How Cheap can a Company get? -
This left me thinking for quite awhile before I decide to publish this post.
I received something from my ex-company, open it up and its like a summary of my Pay and my CPF thingy.. But there isn't any head nor tail telling me wat sort of form it is.
Till today, I asked someone via msn. I was told its my IR8A! I was like, "Huh? It doesn't look like an IR8A to me"
Was told that company wanna save money and therefore print on computer paper. The IR8A form cost $* per piece. Does this mean that a Company cant' even afford $* for each worker? OMG WTF BBQ~~~
Another news today, actually was yesterday's news but got more details today~
Someone throw letter again in my ex-company. The condition to take back the letter is to haf a $200 increment. Well, this method sure works at times like this where Ms N needs ppl. Good for the guy and as a matter of fact... He will be able to fetch a higher salary for his next job too~ Well Done... Hahahahaha....
But den again, when u tell someone that, they will say u got no backbone, 没骨气!! Cos usually if ppl really throw letter, the decision to leave is made and nothing will hold him/her back. Sometimes I really wonder, why did I not do this the last time? LoL~ JKJK... I wun do that. If I wanna go, I will go, personally imho, i tink that, if i decide to leave, means i have already given up in this Company or have already found a better job. For my case is BOTH. LoL~~~
I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Poon Ge Ge again for his help... I m very happy working in NTU!! =D
Good Pay, Good Job, Good Time~
As for my ex-company, a word of advise to my Friends in there: Dun stay too long...
Reason: Click on my post labelled Office to find out more~ LoL..

Heath Ledger found dead in New York
NEW YORK, U.S - Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday, possibly of a drug overdose, New York City police said.
The Australian-born Ledger, 28, who was nominated for an Oscar two years ago for "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead by a housekeeper at his apartment in the trendy SoHo neighborhood, police spokesman Paul Browne said.
"We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," Browne said.
The housekeeper found Ledger at 3:26 p.m. (2026 GMT) and tried to wake him for his appointment to have a massage, Browne said. As far as he knew, only Ledger and the housekeeper were in the apartment, Browne said.
"There were pills within the vicinity of the bed," Browne said.
Ledger was nominated as best lead actor for his role as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain," but the award went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role as Truman Capote.
The handsome star was reported last year to have broken up with his longtime companion, actress Michelle Williams, who played his wife in "Brokeback" and was the real-life mother of the actor's young daughter, Matilda.
Ledger's other film credits included "A Knight's Tale," "The Patriot" and "Monster's Ball." He is currently starring in "I'm Not There," one of several actors playing a role representing Bob Dylan, and was due to appear as The Joker in the next Batman film.

- 1st hoot for 2008 -
Its been 15 days into 2008, wanted to post tis earlier budden is too lazy to do it as i m so into Darkeden again~ =.="
1st day of the new year, our family went for an outing to hunt for a LCD TV and a TV console for our living room, its time to change~ The old TV console too toots, and the TV sound is already out. Many attempts from my dad to bring back the sound din work, so well,its time to change....
Previously we did go to other shops like Courts to compare and view those LCD TVs. Different salesman are promoting different brands, from Panasonic to Toshiba to Sony.
Went to Gain City and the salesman there recommended Samsung. Personally i feel more comfortable wif Samsung as i m using their 26" LCD in my room and am satisfied with it. We told the salesman we are getting the 37" LCD TV and ask him to give us some advise. He gave us 2 models to choose from.
The 1st one, which he says is value for money..
The 2nd one, which is much better dan the 1st one, costing $320 more..
After much consideration and negotiation of price with the salesman, we got the LA37R81BX for $1,919.. This includes this TV and a promotion where we will get a 21" SlimFit TV and Samsung DVD player~ Quite worth it i guess...
After that we went to Brighton, the furniture shop @ Toa Payoh and search for our TV console. Saw 1 which the 3 of us like alot and it cost $799 b4 everything. On top of that, we need to add 7% GST and $50 delivery and installtion charge which adds up to $908.43. But after bargaining, we got it @ $820 inclusive of all charges. kekeke....
Total cos for both items ish $2739, amount to be shared among, my parents and me~ Chor sia!~~ >.<"
Both were delivered on the 4th...
There u go, the TV console and TV in my Living room~ :D

- MC King R.I.P, Celebrity-studded farewell for 'MC King' -
I was on the way home after work and heard on YES933 that today is MC King's funeral. Being a good friend of MC, Chong Qing wrote him a letter and read it out on air. Content was simple, describing emotions of all celebrities who went to send MC his last journey. One part of the letter reads, "maybe there are not enough Comedian or MC's(主持人) around in heaven, thats y they ask u up". Chong Qing nearly cried when he was at the end of the letter, following it is Teresa Teng's 《何日君再来》 which is 1 of MC's favourite song. I sms-ed Chong Qing, ask him not to be sad as MC is at a better place now, tears were rolling in my eyes but I m ok after a while.
I do not personally know MC King, but i haf spoken to him b4 during one of the Feng Shui seminar. He has no airs, and is friendly to everyone who speaks to him. A really good person. Sometimes it makes us really think, what will happen if any of our family members juz leave us. Are we ready for it? What happens after that? So REMEMBER to CHERISH ur Loved ones while they are still around...
Celebrity-studded farewell for 'MC King'
Hundreds of people, including 50 celebrities, turned up at Jimmy Nah's funeral
HUNDREDS of people turned up to bid farewell to Singaporean comedian Jimmy Nah on Monday at a funeral that was both tearful and filled with song.
Some 50 celebrities were there, including MediaCorp artistes Chew Chor Meng, Thomas Ong, Zheng Geping, Marcus Chin, Aileen Tan, Huang Shinan and Pan Lingling.
It was held at the void deck below his Cassia Crescent HDB flat near Old Airport Road.
Before the funeral started, the stars sang to Nah, serenading him with his favourite karaoke songs. Many artistes wept as they sang.
Nah, who went by the nickname MC King, experienced breathing problems while at home last Friday afternoon.
He was sent to Tan Tock Seng hospital where he died. He was 40.
Monday's ceremony of Buddhist rites began at 11am. At about noon, Nah left on his final journey to Mandai Crematorium.
There, stars took turns to go to the podium to pay tribute to their friend.
Nah earned the nickname MC King after a malingering character he played in the 1990 Mandarin sitcom Friends Next Door.
But in real life, he was nothing like his malingering on-screen persona.
A graduate from the then-Singapore Broadcasting Corporation Drama Training Course in 1989, he had appeared in more than 60 local Chinese drama series, English sitcoms, variety shows and stage plays.

Is this really 命?
"Singapore celebrity, Jimmy Nah, dead at 40
SINGAPORE: Singapore celebrity Jimmy Nah, who is better known as MC King, has passed away suddenly. He was 40 years old.
His friends told MediaCorp Radio that Jimmy had experienced breathing difficulties while at home earlier Friday. He was sent to hospital but died shortly after 1pm.
It is not known if Jimmy had suffered from any health problems. But in the last entry he posted on his blog on 31 December, Jimmy had hoped for good health in the coming year.
Local director Jack Neo, who had worked with Jimmy on several productions, said he was shocked upon hearing the news.
"All along, he's very, very healthy. So, I don't know why. I seriously don't know why," said Jack Neo.
Jimmy had acted in a couple of local movies, including Neo's "Just Follow Law", as well as local drama serials. - 938LIVE."
