The new maid is here
We've hired a Filipino maid for my in-laws as will be putting the baby in their care after I return to work, and she'd arrived yesterday.
I never had a maid in my life so very not used to having a "stranger" in the house. I am also not used to teaching someone household chores (cuz normally its hubbie who is teaching me..heehee), supervising someone to do tasks. I am also not used to someone calling me "Mum, Mum, Mum"..haha.. I am a lazy person and is kinda glad that I do not need to do so much household chores now, but keep reminding myself whatever I can do myself, I try to do cuz if not I will become too dependent on her help and become lazier in the future when we send her to stay at my in-law's place.
Well, first impression of the maid is pretty ok - she is quite initiative, will observe how we do things then try to do herself, standard of English still not bad (at least both sides understand each other), knows how to use electrical appliances (apparently she used to work in Singapore for 2 years few years back), can cook. Basically she can do the household chores without us telling her to. Juz hoping she will not give us any problem when the real self surfaces..

An eye-opener
(On the bottom left: The free goodie bag On the bottom right: The Polar savouries to munch on before the meeting starts)
Initially the start of the AGM was quite boring when they read out the resolutions to be passed and approved, and I was about to fall asleep. Gradually some of the "voices from the floor" (referring to feedback from the policyholders/shareholders) make the rest of the AGM quite interesting. hee.. Shall not elaborate the sensitive details here.
It's indeed an eye-opener for me, for my 1st time attending an AGM.

Puppetry Politics
He - is just like the hand behind the puppets, controlling the whole big stage without even revealing himself to the audience.
He - can live in exile, away from his home country but his beloved people still listen to him.
He - alone, can oppose/ cause damage to a country's government.
This is just like puppetry politics (a term I came up myself). I can't stand why the people are so foolish, fancy listening to someone who had betrayed himself, betrayed the country yet refusing to heed the government's advice to shake hands in peace.
Must they cause the once-popular-tourist destination to go down to zero ground, and that they have no more viable livelihood when nobody visits their country, and nobody buys their goods, and nobody patronises their stalls? Must they see themselves going to waste just like that? Just by listening to a cowardly puppet master who refuses to face up to his acts by being an escapist?

Beautiful Rainbow outside the window...
Today a very beautiful rainbow appeared outside our office window, on a tiring weekday evening.. Glad I stayed back in office to clear work, if not I would have missed such a beautiful God's creation...
I silently made a wish for Baby Yam once I see the rainbow. Silly me.. hee...

Conceptionmoon
A new concept that I learnt from www.Babycenter.com - Conceptionmoon
How do conceptionmoons work?
Scientists aren't exactly clear on why stress mucks up the works, but whatever the cause, the effects are pretty clear. Research, like a 2004 study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, shows that women who regularly worry about things like work or money problems are significantly less likely to conceive than those who don't.
Vacations are about relaxation, so it makes sense that some folks are now combining getting away from it all with something more purposeful. And as far as our survey is concerned, a conceptionmoon looks like a winner. Of the more than 1,000 BabyCenter members surveyed, 40 percent of those who took conceptionmoons conceived while on vacation.
With a success rate like that, conceptionmoons could move from being a new trend to a pre-baby must-do right up there with eating right, knowing when to say when, and tossing your birth control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haha... This new concept caught my eye cuz I guess this is part of the reason/plan for the Taiwan trip in November... hee...
Possible to have a "Made in Taiwan"??

Generation Gap - X, Y, Z
Recently we have some young interns from polytechnic in our company. Somehow, there's some attitude shown in them that we do not find them acceptable, and even wondering what's wrong with this batch of interns? The way they think, they speak, they behave - seem to be nonchalant about how people view them. They just say what they think, do what they think. In some ways or another, they seem to me as "non-compliant".
Through a conversation with friends over lunch yesterday, we came to a conclusion....
So, I decided to go a quick search online.
From Wikipedia:
Generation X is a term used to describe generations in the United States and other countries born between the approximate years of 1965 to 1981, the late 1950s and 1960s, or 1968 to 1979, depending on the source. The term has been used in demography, the social sciences, and marketing, though it is most often used in popular culture.
- Key characteristics: quest for emotional security, independent, informality, entrepreneurial
Generation Y, sometimes referred to as "Millennials" or "Echo Boomers", is a cohort of individuals born with possible starting dates ranging anywhere from 1976 to 1982 to possible ending dates anywhere from 1990 to 2001, that grew up in the 1990s and 2000s.
Traits of Gen-Y (us!)
- Generally more ambitious, brand conscious and tend to move jobs more often than previous generations.
- More peer-oriented
- Exceptionally tech-savvy
- Especially tuned to their own value in the job market
- Have limited loyalty to any particular employer
- Insist on working in a stimulating job environment.
-More openness in regards to sexual and romantic life-styles than prior generations. Generally more openness to sexual expression and experimentation, but with less or even totally without romance or attachments.
- Upbeat and confident: Self-Esteem generation, Positive thinkers, Self-reliant: Used to doing it (and many other things) themselves, Multi-taskers
- Asserting their "intellectual authority" over parents, teachers because they are more techno-savvy and capable of accessing greater breadth of information quickly
- High value for education
- Motivated and Goal-Oriented
- What do Gen Yers value most in life? Family
- Traditional values: Unlike the Baby Boomer generation, Gen Yers value things other than income and status as being primary in life, Appreciate family, country, and planet
Generation Z is the generation of people living in Western or First World cultures that follows Generation Y. Experts differ on when the earliest members of Generation Z were born, as the generation is still in its infancy, with some members yet to be born, making it difficult for demographers to determine the proper cohort. This generation is possibly still being born, and the oldest members are at best teenagers, so at present it's impossible to say when Y ends and Z begins. The earliest cited dates being Z at 1989 or 1990
They are very active consumers, with a high degree of influence over their parents' purchasing decisions. They are highly connected, having had lifelong use of communications and media technologies such as DVDs, the World Wide Web, instant messaging,text messaging, iPods and cellular phones, earning them the nickname "digital natives".
Generation Z is more indulged and anti-social than Generation Y.
So basically Gen Z should be the interns' batch bah. As this new generation is still young, there is no further information about their characteristics. But one thing that I can confirm is that - my bosses (the Gen-Xers), myself and my colleague friends (the Gen-Yers) cannot accept the attitude that our intern is displaying. sigh
'Generation Gap' is also another way of putting it, that we are definitely growing old and the new generations are emerging. However, I feel that I like what I am now - in my 20s range. I feel that I am more matured, have more purchasing power, has a better feel of identity of myself, more confident, healthy physique, and probably wiser?? haha.. I hope so.

Preview of F1 Grand Prix trial run
Being situated on the high floor of the OCBC Centre, I have the bird's eye view of the F1 Grand Prix race track. See the brightly-lit track there?
This afternoon was the F1 Grand Prix trial run and we got to witness it! Once we heard the loud racing sounds, almost all of us rushed over to the window. The racing cars were so small, like Tamiya cars.. hee..
It was an exciting moment having to witness the F1 Grand Prix trial run for the very first time, without having to pay anything. haha... Especially when we traveled up onto ECP from Rochor, we were so so so near to the racing cars and they were really LOUD!!! Both me and Dear were excited but we just can't seem to see the cars despite hearing the loud vroom-ing sounds..Real stereo leh!

What's happening to the World now?
I think the World is slowly moving towards self-destruction.
What happened previously? - Sars causing countless death, 9-11 major terrorism attack, mad cow disease, economic crisis, hole in ozone layer widening, tsunamis...
What's happening now? - With the US$ dropping, petrol prices rising, major investment banks declaring bankruptcy, other investment banks forming coalition in order to continue surviving in this big market, China's milk products causing death, several other milk products being recalled in SG, weather all around the world going haywire and unpredictable, Sze Chuan earthquake disaster, sudden heart attack deaths....
Its quite saddening to see all these happening around us uncontrollably while we only focus on working, making money, setting up our own family - everything revolving around own's life.
Should we care for the environment and Mother Earth more before the World really self-destruct?

And he went to google and gave me this quiz - http://toys.about.com/library/quiz/carebears/blcarebearsquiz.htm

Wii - Weet!
Got ourselves from the Comex Fair a long-awaited gaming addition (can also be an 'addiction') to our household - Nintendo Wii!It's really a very fun, enjoyable and 'physical' game that I truly enjoy playing with! As I am not a gaming person, this is the first time I got myself so involved with. Although we only have 1 original game to play with now - which is the Wii Sports, both of us had a rollin' good time playing and laughing over tennis game, trying to strike at bowling game, and creating look-alike Mii! Dear got a square-faced Mii while I got a mole at the right position on my face! LOL!
(This is not me hor!)It was also hilarious looking at Dear in his boxing game, when he is so serious at all his punches and defences! Laughed until non-stop lor.
I am sure this will be the next-big-thing happening in our house, apart from mahjong-ing!

Sunshine after the downpour
"Will there be sunshine after the downpour last night?" I wonder...
It had been a night of heartache, admist tossing and turning in the bed alone, my mind replaying all the unhappy events...
I just hope the storm will blow over, and the sun will shine after the downpour...

Olympics Craze in office!
There was this Olympics Craze in my office recently, especially today when the Table Tennis Team from Singapore is set against South Korea in the semi-finals today. And this could lead us to our first medal in this Olympics!
Probably its also because today is a Friday, almost everyone in the office is in a Friday-cum-Olympics mood. So more and more people gathered around the dealers' desk to watch the exciting match as the day end approaches...
Loud cheers! Clapping! Occasional sounds of dismay...More Cheers again!
But, the end results was heartening! 3-2 !

But, the end results was heartening! 3-2 !
Women’s team:
Wang Yuegu (SIN) beat Gao Jun (US) 11—6, 7—11, 11—8, 11—4.
Fang Tianwei (SIN) beat Wang Chen (US) 11—2, 8—11, 11—4, 15—13.
Wang Yuegu/Li Jiawei (SIN) beat Gao Jun/Huang Xi (US) 11—5, 11—9, 11—7
Sigh, side-tracked a bit.. despite today is a Friday.. I went straight home right after work... sian... Normally I would like to go out with Dear, with my friends.. no matter wat, I have to find some activities to keep me occupied cuz its Friday!!!!! 
But, Dear has to work late today...side-tracked another little bit... my poor Dear and his lady boss are the only ones in the department for this week and next week while 3 people are down - 1 in reservist for 2 weeks, 2 went on leave. So coincidental that almost the majority has to go away for that long at the same period!!!! While they are enjoying their reservist and their leave, he and his lady boss have triple times of workload, triple times of problems, triple times of headache, yet only have that much of time and energy on their hand to cope... sigh...
Ok, finished rambling, grumbling and ke-lian-ing my Dear..
Lastly, I want to pray hard for some friends who need some prayers for all the things that they face...I feel for you.. I feel for the feelings that you undergo... Things will be better eventually..
Answers would be revealed, Truth would be known, and Love would be showered on you.

About 'Eighteen Chefs'
I first know about this eatery cafe - 'Eighteen Chefs' from Ah Lian. This cafe is unique because of the story behind this cafe and the chef -
_________________________________________________________________________________
From http://wineanddine.asiaone.com/
________________________________________________________________________________
With this story behind, with the social meaning it carries, yesterday we drove all the way to Simei Eastpoint Mall to have a try, and to show support to them.
<On the way there, we had a 有惊无险 experience with a cement mixer truck... Our small young Red Tanker, and 2 frail lives inside it almost got banged by a reckless cement mixer truck which was turning in to a small road when we were tryin to u-turn out... *shivers*>
Despite the scare we had, we continued our journey, looking for this unfamiliar shopping centre. Finally found it!
Their speciality is cheese baked rice.. Mostly western food.. So we chose the speciality, with different combi of ingredients. Its not about the food that I am going to mention here. Its the people there. We are not lookin at them with a different angle, neither despising. And they are all very friendly and nice people when they served us the food. One young boy of 10 years old whom I want to mention here. He was helping out at the cafe, and despite his dirty t-shirt and apron (typical young boy), he has a welcoming smile and attitude. He approached us while we were eating the cheese baked rice, asking us "How is the food?" ... "Enjoy your dinner", with clear spoken English. I am very surprised by his courage to speak to strangers in a very confident way. Not many 10-year-olds can do that. I remembered I'd problem approaching strangers and talking to them in such way! He is a real professional kid. I am not sure if he is one of the delinquents whom the chef is helping. I hope he is not. But even if he is, I believe he is a good and 有上进 boy.
