春节的花

R的妈妈没有在新加坡过年,却很有喜欢做新年的装饰。
最近用泥土填掉的小池塘变成了花圃, 种(其实也不算种,花都是买来的)了不少花,很有春节的气氛。








Last but not least...这是我种的茄子, 只结了一个果。哈哈...

Happy Chinese 牛 Year

再过几天就是农历新年了。 真的忙得差点忘了时间。忙工作, 忙抱怨, 忙看惨淡的市道。
今年的过年真的好冷。去逛街,去吃饭,都看不到很多的人群。
我不是一个很喜欢热闹的人,但是这种现象让人看了不尽让让觉得‘真的很糟’。

哎,写这么认真的东西好像不太像我的作风。语无伦次

在此希望大家暂时忘了这个不景气,好好的享受短短的假期和家人和朋友聚一聚。
农历新年快乐!

Freeze-ing COLD

It came first thing in the morning when I went back to office for my annual reviews.
It was the first email in my inbox.
SALARY INCREMENT FREEZE.

WTH!!!! Totally demoralizing. Whole year of effort down the drain.
I didn't have any increment last year because I joined the group at Nov2007. They adjusted my pathetic pay slightly before new year 2008.
With this freeze-ing practise, it means I will have to see the same figures printed on my pay slip for another 12 months.

Anthony Kay Pong sent and email and said that he is glad he is still here. Of course he is happy. His one month pay is probably our whole year pay.
In some companies, the top management executives have volunteered to have pay cut. Why won't those Big XXXX in this company do the same thing???!!! Why you-know-who can still have her 'excluvie' fan on in this cold office environment and enjoy her good pay???!!!

Ok, maybe I should count my blessing because I still can keep my rice bowl while many people have lost their jobs in this downturn, but I AM JUST SO.... SO... P*....
