aiyah.. this was a "peaceful protest" in a land where you have the right to protest and hold demonstrations.. it's written in their constitution...if they can get the crap beaten out of them there, i think our boys in blue are doing well here to break things up when it is written in the law that you need a permit to hold demonstrations...
whether the law is good or not, that's for another discussion.. that's for the people to decide with their votes..

Ah drats..... my final oral defence for my honours thesis is on 5th May.....
But that's not what I'm worried about..... I'm worried about the examiner that I got. From what I know, he's a pretty tough guy who can come down really, really hard on the students that he's examining.
And frankly speaking, I'm really, really worried..... I'm very, very unsure whether my thesis can stand up to his assault.

I went to look at places in bukit batok and ubi ... and also paya lebar ....
i'm not fond of the last two places ... but bukit batok is a but far off from town, even though it's near my home ... (maybe I can cycle there in the mornings ...
)oh well ... that's in the planning stages ... if my current crop of clients don't pay me on time ... i'd have no cash flow and everything's back to naught ...

if it does, you're going to ace everything..

your professor is actually throwing his hat in the ring by financing your research!

oh.. if fatum finds a good place near my vendors at Caven Road, i wager he's going to gain another 25kg
so near Belachan Fish.. and Lavender Street Hawker Centre... and walking distance from Beach Road.. a leisurely 15 minute stroll to Zam Zam... and all the other hawker centres around

so its better for him to locate his office at an ulu place?

Oh harharhar... I just fed my fluffie pet in Facebook with a ton of stuff!
It feels satisfying, even though I haven't eaten my first morsel for the day myself.

I'm planning to hire a full timer if possible ... I can't do it in a home orpid ... it's against the regulations
full timers are pretty cheap now ... I am thinking to give some poly kid his start ....

Or he can walk over to Mustafa area to eat Indian food :P
-
yah.. talking about Mustafa, i'm going there at 2pm later..
official business!
oh.. btw.. wrong spelling.. it's Cavan Road..
try looking at shophouses.. there are many out there right now because times are hard..
when ICA Building "chased" the form-writers out to reclaim the office space for our own work, the form-writers took spaces immediately just across the canal.. i think there are 4 "companies" writing forms for people there now..
look at the older estates.. there are shopfronts which are not really used.. can rent those..
-
wait a minute .. there are people filling in forms for a living ? ...

Hmm... a person who was angrily huffing and puffing over the low wages young grads receive in Singapore, is now himself taking advantage of the low salary rates! Kinda ironic!

Fatum, I hope you won't have to resort to hiring an FT because of the difficulties faced in hiring and retaining fussy Singaporean workers!
-
Rhonda's posts are evil *ouch*

*me pummels head with iron rod*
Yeah... I guess I'm worrying a wee bit too much.... need a few knocks to the head to wake myself up.
After all, when I tried discussing some of the theoretical aspects of my thesis with my prof, he himself was at a loss at times..... So I guess if he ain't too sure himself, then I can be forgiven for not being too sure either.
Oh well..... I'll just see what I can do.
*goes back to editing thesis*
