When you’re a star performer and well-known, many employers want to take you in. Age doesn’t really matter. Over here, if you are just an average performer and unknown, age is the crux of the matter!
Some seniors here have special abilities and skills that others don’t. That’s why they are successful and living a free and happy life. I give them some respect until their public behaviours and actions proof that my perceptions about them are wrong!
Just when I have gained some confidence in digital banking and cashless-payment, our biggest bank here dropped a bombshell last week for their double-deduction transaction glitch. What the ****. Now my confidence level has dropped back to zero! They are ‘investigating’ this glitch and they would never tell us the full story what had happened or changed. Anything that is digital can be easily ‘manipulated’. Now everyone needs digital payment means. Is there another alternative?
For > 30 years, Pa cycled daily to work rain or shine from our old house at Indus Road to his workplace at Mackenzie Road. On some weekends, he would ferry me on a rattan-child seat to his workplace to play and feed chickens he reared for food. When I grew up, I often took his bicycle for spins in the neighbourhood (on roads, not on footpaths). Now I cannot recall what happened to this China-made bicycle that had a dynamo attached to the front-wheel for the headlight. A real workout for the legs when cycling at night.
What did you do together with your dad in your growing-up years?
Happy Father’s Day.
The best way to guarantee a +ve is to quit being vigilant. Just
let all the guards down to get it.
It’s easy to spot many people flouting Covid-19 safety rules outdoor and there is nothing one could do except to stay very far away and complete tasks at double quick time and return! Human behaviour is the most complex and challenging issue here causing many social problems. Taxpayers’ money is used to tackle all these problems. Sigh!
This invisible ‘enemy’ is still raging fiercely everywhere! Yet many are letting their guards down and not wearing masks or wearing them half-heartedly. Stay safe means staying away unless there is no choice. It’s still a very long way to go in this ‘fight’ and life would never be the same again. Sigh.
After more than one year of hardships rained down by this
pandemic, it’s still very tough to live life abnormally. Many people ‘kena’
bruises as many things are either banned, stopped or restricted!
But we still need essential services like food. So many hawkers
have raised their food prices everywhere while pay is either disappeared or being
cut or reduced! Si-bei jia-lut!
It’s very tough to ‘keep heart’ as things are not turning right
for many people. I can’t help them except to lend them a listening ear to pour
out their frustrations.
