Yaya.... one last post to conclude year 2008...
BYE 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!! Bad things ended in 2008, no brought forward to 2009!
By the way, I don't know why I would leave my cash card at checkpoint counter last evening. I felt very "sian" when I noticed that this morning. Cos I topped up the cash card just 2 weeks ago, which is sufficient for my 4 - 5 months usage. BUT...... not to worry (although I did go through all the hassles this morning - trying to retrieve my cash card number, worked out the cash card balance, get a new cash card etc).... If you really leave your cash card at checkpoint, just bring your passport to the ICA office at checkpoint. The officer will be able to retrieve your cash card. Don't have your 16-digits cash card number on hand? Nevermind. It's not required. (But still, better record down your cash card number, precaution is better than cure.)
Happy New Year. Notwithstanding bad economy outlook, hope everybody will have a better year ahead!

危机意识
You might have read this, since I extracted from a forwarded email.
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?'
The crow answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
I'm thinking of ONE person in my office. Whenever I look at her, the feeling is complicated. She's abundant. For myself, if I can have the luxury to have her, I'd be very happy as my work is less loaded (although I'm not very loaded); for company, she's totally abundant (because I can also do what she does), although she's not harmful.
At one time I was thinking, it's no good to keep one person here doing nothing. It is a back track to her career. She would have no advancement. But, she does not seem to think this way. She's very contented to be here doing nothing. She does not care about her personal growth. I really puzzled why there's such person in this world. This kind of ppl should have extinguished in our profession. Look at our line, banks are laying ppl off, more stringent rules and regulations applied, more and more disclosures requirements etc. How can one stay where he/she is forever? Won't she has the kind of 危机意识? She is old enough to know how office works. Or, at the very least, show to others that it's company's fault for not giving her enough volume perform.
To be sitting and doing nothing, if you are not sitting very high up, you must hold difficult tasks with you.

蟑螂贴
A small cockcroach appeared near my workplace this morning. My HR then passed me a cockcroach killer to paste it under my desk. I was thinking: "像蟑螂那样讨厌的人也可以这样贴一下就可以赶走，该多好....."
