Sorry for the missing post for weeks due to my ICT and lack of interest to blog.
But today I have an interesting topic at hand. The Govt plan to increase our Local Population.
They have increase the 3 months to 4 months maternity. This is due to the feedback from the female population. They prefer to have that additional 1 month rather than letting the father have a Paternity leave. Why can't they let both the father and mother take the additional 1 month of leave?
Yes it is a big cost to the company if both are to take leave. It makes business sense just to let one go rather than two. Yet to raise a baby is and should be two people role(expect single mother/father). The stress that a mom has to undertake while caring for the infant are huge. Changing of diapers, feeding the baby, hoaxing them to sleep and many other small little things. All these takes up a huge amount of time. Allowing father to assist the mom in the first month will not going lessen the burden on the mom but also allow the father to bond with their child.
This is a mindset issue and it might take a long time before both the govt and company are willing to accept it.
Now my next issue that I'm going to talk might come back and bite my A*s. In the paper these past few days, many people talk about the past that how we can pro-create without govt incentives. I agreed with them having a big family should not have money as a push factor.
It is all about having time. With ample time, feelings can develop, communication can improved and will result in well more time to "做人". Maybe the Govt, should implement a "No OT' policy or no OT over certain period of time. Any company that flout the rules shall be fine.
I'm very into having a big family. I want to have a min. of 3 children before I hit 35 years old. Yes this is my dream and Yes I'm still single making my dream a hard to become reality. My love life sucks everytime I go after a gal they reject me.(another story for another time)
People always said that Guy reaching 30s are their prime. Prime for their job, I agreed. But prime in starting a family, this I have a different view. Having a kid at late 30s means that when they get married and start having a family I might be in my 60s odd. I like to be there to carry and with a little grace from God to be able to hear my grandchild call me grandpa. Call me old school this is how I want my life to end.
If every when God call me home and ask me do I have a good life. I will said yes knowing that I have live long enough to see my children grow up, get married and to be able to hold my grandchildren in my arms.
Kids are never a burden because in them runs your blood!

Something I liked to share
Saw this on a friend blog and found it interesting.
Just like to share this with anyone out there reading my blog
The truly lucky people are the ones who manage to become long- time friends before they realize they are attracted to each other. They get to know each other’s laughs, passions, sadness, and fears. They see each other at their worst and at their best. They share time together before they get swept into the entangling intimacy of their sexuality.
One of these is laughter. Laughter tells you how much you will enjoy each other’s company over the long term. If your laughter together is good and healthy, and not at the expense of others, then you have a healthy relationship to the world. Laughter is the child of surprise. If you can make each other laugh, you can always surprise each other. And if you can always surprise each other, you can always keep the world around you new. Beware of a relationship in which there is no laughter. Even the most intimate relationships based only on seriousness have a tendency to turn sour. Over time, sharing a common serious viewpoint on the world tends to turn you against those who do not share the same viewpoint, and your relationship can become based on being critical together.
After laughter, look for a partner who deals with the world in a way you respect. When two people first get together, they tend to see their relationship as existing only in the space between the two of them. They find each other endlessly fascinating, and the overwhelming power of the emotions they are sharing obscures the outside world. As the relationship ages and grows, the outside world becomes important again. If your partner treats people or circumstances in a way you can’t accept, you will inevitably come to grief. Look at the way she cares for others and deals with the daily affairs of life. If that makes you love her more, your love will grow. If it does not, be careful. If you do not respect the way you each deal with the world around you, eventually the two of you will not respect each other.
If you believe in your heart that you have found someone with whom you are able to grow, if you have sufficient faith that you can resist the endless attraction of the road not taken and the partner not chosen, if you have the strength of heart to embrace the cycles and seasons that your love will experience, then you may be ready to seek the miracle that marriage offers. If not, then wait.

Being alone is not sad
I have been asked why do I spend the Leave on Friday all by myself.
Some said why am I so sad, what happen to me and all.
I laugh at that cause I don't feel any of those and wonder how they came to that conclusion.
Let me clarify this. I was not sad nor unhappy on that Friday.
For those who knows me I do watch movie alone. I have been doing that for a long time that I don't bother to keep tracks the number of years I do that. Also when one goes to the movie who sit and pay attention to what is showing on the big screen. So does it matter if you are alone or with friends in the movies? It does not, the only matter is after the movies. But then again I talking about watching movie alone not about pre or post movies.
Oh about the movie, I walk into the cinema on Friday without having my portion of the ticket stub tear. Meaning the door was open with no one guarding it and I just walk in. Now I wonder can I do that next time w/o a ticket hehehehe.

Me, Myself and Mine Shadow
Yes Today I enjoy my one day leave with a Movie first
The Dark Knight

The show has good solid Plot, excellent action scenes and a touch of humor.What makes me like the show is not Batman. Everyone will agreed that the true Star is Joker.
Jack Nicholson was a good Joker then.But Heath Ledger brings out the insanity, the belief in anarchy and the diabolic laughter of the Joker to life.

The simple lips wetting of the mouth by him throughout the movie shows how crazy the clown really is when taking life. The Joker by Heath is now an official icon for all Batman movies to come. I wonder who now can fill his shoes in the Batman installment to comes. Maybe they will not do another Batman movie with Joker in it. That is how good he is I will remember how good and how scary he has made Joker to be. The line he said, "Why the Sad Face" and then craved the smile on the victim face. Classic to be!
Well after the movie I went to spend some quality time with myself, a book and my PSP at one fullerton. Sat at the StarBuck cafe there for over 2 hours enjoying the peace that I long yearn after.
After this simple act, I took a walk to the famous Merlion there. It has been a long time I see the Merlion up close. So I took a few pics of it and the Esplanade(the Durian)

It seems that these are a must take photo with tourist. As I was snapping my pictures away tourist are also taking them. Some stand at the end of the water sprout opening their mouth. They hope to take a pic where our Merlion feed them with it's saliva hahaha.
Anyway most of these tourist I saw toaday are like students from Japan. Since everyone is snapping away I also snap a few of them too. Don't ask me where they are all gals it could be it is a Convert oversea trip.
Someone once told me don't ask question, just enjoy it!

On leave again
Yes I have not been blogging for a while..
There is nothing interesting to write about.
Work still remains the same just that office politics is getting more serious.
I'm still safely away from all these struggle but again at times I wonder how much longer will I be safe.
Going to take a day off for myself tomorrow. To let myself recollect my thoughts and have a little space.
Maybe a movie will help.
But I think companionship will be a better choice....

100th post
Yes this is my 100th post....
On this faithful day, I have to be sick with a high fever. I don't get sick often the most 1 once in a year or less. Guess this is the time again where I start to feel weak and all.
Went to see the Doc this morning and got a Jab to bring my fever down. A jab to my rear. I was surprise that I got a Jab in my rear at this age. The last time I had that was when i was 10 years old.....
Well the Jab did it work and I'm feeling so much better now.
Now will my other sickness be cure with a Jab too?
