ho ho ho chi minh!

it's time to switch to the night one.. coz mom's watching AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!
-
just got outta meeting
-
thinking about the vote tomorrow.. i will be going after my night shift...
i see that the Lim Hng Kiang is part of the MIW team... and i'm reminded of his "regretting" the $300,000 bill to save a little girl, i guess he's added a couple of truckloads of hatred for the MIW team
-
evening
-
I think half of youtube's services just went down ....
-
time to go to work..
tomorrow, it's voting day... vote with what you know is right.. and what you know will allow the country to grow and mature, not to be stifled and fearful...
to see further than just your pocketbook and your petty insecurities.. to see what we can become if we are allowed to be all that we can be...
to prevent what happens when a father refuses to let go of their child, causing the child to become embittered, sociopathic, ignorant, and hateful... and to allow the child to face the world, gaining confidence in their independence, finding their own limits, becoming a mature and able adult...
to know what the politicians are.. to know who stands where for what and why... not because of the petty materialistic gains you think they'll provide...
maybe, just maybe... if even the politicians think this way, Singapore will have a chance to grow, to mature and to become what we can be...
that is the power of your vote...
that.. and try to vote for the people you hate less... right now i hate one in one of the parties so much because he dared to say that he regretted the $300,000 hospital bill to save a child...
the others just irk me and irritate me...
he's the one who tipped the balance...
have a good evening.. and your votes carry the future of our country...
to grow and be all we can be, an asset, or to become an immature sociopathic adult... the choice is yours

home!

just finished watching one of the most beautiful movie ever made .....
i'm not going to link it here cos youtube censor copyrighted contents through links ....
but search for "love is a many splendoured thing" ......
not really faithful to the book as most movie remakes are, but this one's very well made ....
-
what's the story about?

as per the title ......
han suyin actually taught in singapore before I believe ...... english lit .....
stars william holden and jennifer jones ......
story's about an eurasian doctor who's stuck in hong kong around the end of the chinese civil war and the start of the korean conflict .... and her affair with a married english journalist with deep roots in china .... and the resulting conflict of their relationship between their respective worlds .....
ultimately ... mark, the journalist, was killed in korea ......
I remember this was the second book that made me cry after wuthering heights ....
the book is han suyin's tour de force ... I have almost the complete set of her other works, and none comes close ....and this old movie's almost as good ....
-
hmmm...maybe i'll watch it instead of reading
-
you should still read the book though .... it's been out of print for donkey years .... I found mine in a fusty second hand book store in prinsep street ....

tell tat to e SC ppl over underbudget
-
I mean you see M'sia today...
RM50bn for MRT in KL should not be an issue, because of how much $$ PLUS collects in a day or a week.
-
this has been a very polarizing elections ... everyone has their own perspective ....
but let me tell you about my day .... i was around sungei kadut today .... but my client's factory is moving, they've almost finished packing already .... thankfully not relocating to johore (yet ? ), but only to jurong .... they are expanding their operations.
They fabricate steel components for the construction and offshore industries. And they have talked about relocating to johore before .... if they cannot get enough banglas quotas and enough skilled welders and fitters (who are invariably FTs nowadays, no young singaporean wants such a job) ... the engineers and foremen are singkies though.
but, they say, relocating to johore is definitely not their first choice, why ? cos it's not just a function of costs in Singapore. Most of their clients, especially the civil contractors, are locals. secondly, it's logistics, logistics is not just about getting things you've made to your clients, but also getting your raw materials to your factory, put a country border in between these two points, and you'll add duties and taxes on top of your costs. if you're shipping your partial components from singapore to johore and then exporting out the finished products again, paying duties and taxes both ways, then it's just as cost uneffective, if not more, with the only effect of enriching our neighbours and not ourselves ... plus you'd factor in the effeciency, or rather the lack of, of our neighbours, as pinky pointed out, the bumi monopolized transport industry up north is not cheap ! ... so imagine the steel sewage pipes you need for new buildings like the HDB flats and sky scrappers would end up costing more, driving up our costs even further ....
the SDP's plan sounds good on paper, but ........
not that it matters anyways ..... this elections has become a purely emotional exercise.
-
tat's what I said... Many ppl dun realise SDP's proposal dun work for everyone.
I mean investors are smarter than zheng hu, they would focus on high end value production today automatically..
But some industries lan lan still gotta stay over logisitics issue. I also cited why the 1.5L bottled drinks are still bottled here today - logistics issue (bulky in tonnage).
Somemore you need to have an industry before you can develop e sup industries like R&D.
All these form a jig saw puzzle.
Now I'm not saying wat e PAP does now is perfect, but if everyone is willing to change and strive to be adaptive, I believe our industries can perform better.
But one thing is certain, like it or not, e target can't be we being a fully industrialised nation.
