Skills In Demand To Work In Singapore

Working in Singapore sounds very interesting, doesn't it?

It's the hub of almost everything: medical, tourism (especially with the recently opened Integrated Resorts at Marina Bay and Sentosa), trade, education, etc.

It's a country with multiracial society, resulting in the presence of various types of food and cultures. Hmm, imagine yourself trying out different kinds of dishes everyday: Indian food, Malay food, Chinese food, Peranakan food, Indonesian food, Western food, Arab food, just to name a few... :)

But of course that would not be the main impetus for anyone to come here to work.

Most importantly, English is the main language used here. And, it's one of the fastest growing countries in Asia with many MNCs (Multinational Companies) branching to Singapore. This means that there are a lot of opportunities to come and look for a job here.

For those interested in coming to Singapore to work, this link may be useful to see if the skills you've currently had are in the list of skills-in-demand in Singapore.

When Your Cat Attracts Your Attention, Capture It!

Her name is JJ. She's a very lovely cat. And, yup. As we can see, she likes to do all sort of funny pose :)

do I look like a squirrel?

I feel like sleeping..

Now, I'm awake!

Other than that, she's also very playful. Once, she caught a bird and brought the corpse to my room. Feathers and blood were all over the place, and finally the corpse was found underneath my roommate's bed. Eww.

Nevertheless, she's a lovely cat :)

And my advice is, always get your camera ready as you'll never know when your lovely pets are going to pose so nicely that you just want to capture that moment!

rette mich.

i'm such a mess. my life's in a big mess. i need to clear all the dust and rubbish in me. i need to grow up. why is it hard to care for others? why am i such a selfish person?

maybe it's true, the more you hate someone, the more you'll become like that person. or is it true that the more someone nags at you about something, you'll be indoctrinated by what that person says, although you appear to rebel and disagree with what that person says?

seriously. i'm such an ungrateful person. at the same time, does that mean i'm a liar? a hypocrite? everytime i go to church or pray, i'll give thanks to the Lord. i'll praise and thank Him for what He's done for me; dying on the cross to save me from the darkness. but am i truly praising Him? since what i'm doing daily-my inability to be grateful for everything and my taking things for granted- doesn't reflect that i'm thankful for the eternal life He's given me. or, do i thank Him for dying on the cross in my prayer just for the sake of saying it? does it mean that i never mean it?

i feel really lost. i don't know how am i supposed to be like. i know no one can save me besides myself. but sometimes complacency hinders me from growing.

i need to practice. love others. forgive others. don't take things for granted. thank God in every kinda situations. other people owe you nothing-don't ever demand anything from anyone.

finally

Finally. Finally. Finally.

One lesson. God never comes too late.

Despite what I've done, yet He always comes to my rescue.

I miss those moments. All that I had last week.

I couldn't believe what I saw, tasted, felt, heard and breathed in.

All felt like a sweet dream, too good to be true - but yet too fast to slip away.

Sometimes when I stare into the still air, I could even see everything so clearly as though it's real.

I miss you.

Well, I can't believe that I'm still here in 'the system'.

I don't know how long more I can survive though.

It really depends on tomorrow.

Sometimes I just wish that it'll be so bad that I won't even need to think twice to get out.

But somehow I could predict that I'll still survive till the day. (well, it may be wrong...)

But, again, I myself don't know which I'd prefer - should I bear with it like the rest and stay, or should I leave.

Air supply and other oldies mode on. Thanks to Rachel's new iTouch.

Shall get back to doing my duty as 'an obedient student'.

gloomy - a week after

Thanks JJ and Tiger.

You guys know it when I'm sad.. :)

Love you guys..

Kojel, I'm sorry.... :'(

someone behind the looking glass, will you ever bloody change?!

such an idiot!

despite everything that's happened, still you haven't learnt your lesson yet!

even a donkey is cleverer than you; it won't fall into a hole for the third time!

please use your bloody brain!

it was supposed to be a nostalgic moment, but you spoiled it.

1 week ago.. didn't you know how to appreciate that moment?

can you stop being so stupid that you can never anticipate stupid and regrettable stuff from happening but regret it after it's happened?

why can't you put in the bloody fff effort!

Heaven, could you help me?

are there anything wrong with me such that i don't deserve any aid?

come and rescue my soul from this darkness, that i may have clear vision and thoughts, conscience and perseverance to put in the effort in everything i do.

Ruler of the Earth, could you help me help myself?

where are you.. don't forsake me, leaving myself in this impasse..

i want to get out. don't let me indulge myself in this muddy pit..

good poems

"You are young and beautiful,
Sweet as the breath of May.
Earnestly I speak to you.
Weigh ev'ry word I say.

If you want to have a rosy future
And be happy as a honey bee,
With a husband who will always love you,
Baby, Don't marry me.

If you want a man you can depend on,
I can absolutely guarantee
I will never fail to disappoint you,
Baby, Don't marry me.

I eat litchie nuts and cookies in bed
And I fill the bed with nutshells and crumbs.
I have irritating habits you'll dread,
Like the way I have of cracking my thumbs.

My grandpa was a big game hunter,
He met grandma swinging on a tree.
If you want to have attactive children,
Baby, Don't marry me.

--I would like to see my sons and daughters
Sliding up and down their father's knee.--
They'll get splinters in their little fannies,
Cookie, Don't marry me.

I'm devoted to my dear old Mama,
And if you and Mama disagree,
I would always side with her against you,
Schnookie, Don't marry me.

--I would always like to know where you go.
I don't like a man to keep me in doubt.--
Honey that's a thing that's easy to know,
You will always know where I am, I'm out!

I am talking like a Chinese uncle.
I'm as serious as I can be.
I am saying this because I love you,
Darling, Don't marry me!"

"I have wished before,
I will wish no more.

Love, look away!
Love, look away from me.
Fly, when you pass my door,
Fly and get lost at sea.

Call it a day.
Love, let us say we're through.
No good are you for me,
No good am I for you.

Wanting you so, 
I try too much.
After you go,
I cry too much.

Love, look away.
Lonely though I may be,
Leave me and set me free,
Look away, look away, look away... from... me."
