The Game

It is again the time of the year when
a) the promotion list is out ...sometimes, some are due for it, while others are surprise winners. more importantly, the bosses must like you.
b) the star awards popularity list is revealed... some suprises, some sad and some rejoice. For this, the viewers must know who are you and recall you ... afterall, it can be screams of support but ultimately, whether an impression is left.
This is life ...and how the game is played.

Worth It?

http://www.xin.sg/article.php?article=29677
While I am happy that this TVC won the viewers' choice, I ponder. Is it for real that it really won the hearts of viewers or it was due to repeated votes cast by some? Do viewers know how much monies were put in to produce and air this? Some of us would probably know that somebody may be gleaming away ...to have initiated it but frankly so what? cos the cost was more than $ millions, and is it really justifiable - the effectiveness of such TVC ....does it then mean that families are more intact now becos of this TVC. Is the money really well spent? I asked. Could the money be better use to help many needy out there?

Feeling Blues

Usually, women feel blues
a) when their monthly 'sea of red' comes ...
b) when they dun feel good abt 'anything and everything'.
c) after child-birth, as they called it - post-natal etc
d) if their child do not do well for exams...
and for many other reasons, I suppose.
Today, I was on one-day leave, and yet I feel blue ... just a strange feeling.
Perhaps, I feel that I really need a good long rest/sleep.

Helping a child

A parent asked - my child's grade is dropping, I can't teach him cos I dun know how to. Can the school do something about it?
Another asked - I have to work, and only get home after 8pm everyday. There's no one who can coach my child. His school work is deteriorating. How can I help him?
Am I in that capacity to advise? I paused. I wondered.

Love the job you do or Do the job you love?

This is a question that some of us may ask ourselves... likewise, do we marry the person who love or love the person we marry? aka chicken-egg?
Sometimes, I dun know but I know that at this uncertain time, most of us need to stay put in the job we have ...we can afford to be picky or choosy.
But if one is feeling so miserable in the job, maybe, it is a signal that it is time to move on .....

Fourty

Yes, time flies ... a colleague asked why didn't I go and sign up be a cala-fe (temporary actor) since I am so gaga over dramas/celebrities... I tot - what role can I do - uncle at the coffee shops, passer-by, audience in a setting etc....is that what I wanted? haha
Nope. If I ever get a chance, it has to be something 'breakthrough' for me...cos it is probably be my one and only chance to make it ...hehe.
I am not sure if the day will ever come but I know I have to create the opportunity for myself...I don't think I will ever be 'headhunted' along the streets since I always walk with my face so solemn and heads down ....haha....and the dream lives on.
Sometimes, when I see other people whom I think the age should be younger than me yet appear so haggard, I feel so proud of myself cos I am still so fabulous at forty ... haha

Song 12 [Chinese] : 国王皇后

It has been a moody 2 months... a slow start in 2009...not so good things seem to be happening ...around me ...
Tot dancing tracks may perk us up (to some, it may be noise) ... infact, I am quite a 'dance song - retro' person - when I was young, I was thrilled by dance mixes and was wishing I can play my favourite dance tracks for people to dance on the dance floor...again, this is an unfulfilled dream. I did share some of my favourite songs during my 'stand up training' days when I conduct training/courses some 10 years back.
Haven't go to disco for ages liao...maybe, too old to shake my body ...but I still enjoy songs like "I heard a rumour", "Straight Up", "Letz go to Ibiza" etc....
Recently, I am hooked to the above song - 国王皇后. Check their MTV in the link below. Start Dancing and drive the blues away.
