Today is chinese new year. I heard that koreans celebrate the new year as chinese new year while the japanese celerbrate the new year on 1st jan. If you don't get my real agenda then... don't worry about it. :P

I was lucky that no one asked why i nvr go mjc for today ^_^ and i got $50 extra as a compliment of my o level results. I don't think i scored well. Well, I'll need that 50 bucks anyway. I'm in for a tough ride at JC. A rough one. Will my butt survive it? :P

In the morning I woke up at 10am(basically i just laid <-- right word form? there as i didnt want to wake up) Then my father was so anxious to begin the day visiting relatives that he had to wake me up. I went to my grandmother's house 1st (mother's side). It was boring. My mother's brother (what's the term for it?) was there. My cousins brought dogs. They were the center of attractions. They seemed to be the "PSP" of my cousins, or it's just me again :D .

Then I went to my father's big brother's house after going to my father's brother (elder i think) house to pick up his children which were about 30+ as he was at jurong for a buisness deal. Well, they were 30 + and have jobs. Surely they have enough money to at least take a taxi, or mature to take the bus. I had to squeeze at the back seat with lvl 1 fan speed of air con at 20C. I can hardly feel the air con. And the perfume was so strong <.< felt like puking. Upon reaching our destination, we were greated with a warm welcome. I tell you they are filthy rich. He house is full of new year tid bits - even with price inflations recently. I heard that my father's eldest brother is the money making kind. He is not the happy-go-lucky kind. If he has 1k, he will be thinking of how to make it 2k, unlike the others in the family who worry, at least on the surface, about surving for the day. Then there was a heated discussion on a guy who apparently wants to get a job for 10k a month, with 10 mths bonus. Initially the arguement was about competency, as they caution that if you aren't competent enough, they'll just fire you. Then they moved on to the lifestyles of managers. They, as promised, earn 10k a month, but they work from 9am - 2am everyday. You see them doing nothing much, but the stress they have is proportionate to their pay. They know what you do as they tell you what you do, but you dont know what they are doing as you aren't their boss. Somehow this intriged me. It seems highly true. I mean, managers are like those order ppl around and get high pay kind of jobs, which seemed highly unfair. And this factor puts the equation into balance. They may hang out at pubs, spamming and wasting beer, wines and chapaign like no big fuck, but they are actually drowsing their stress away. There was one guy who cautioned that you can only do this job for a few years before age catches up and you cannot handle this tremendous workstress anymore (or at least the nightlife) dont blame me for bad re narration. It was in half hokkian which i dont really understand. After that they moved on to ppl working at oil rigs, which reminded me of wilson's father, after the guy said that his friend earns 100k a month for being a property agent manager. He points out that those working at oil rigs for 30 years, even with low education, gets hugh pays, but they get bullied. Their superiors can scold them, but they can retaliate. They can't resign, as they have no qualifications. Their superiors are aware of this and as such they are more then willing to let you resign. They can hire someone with better qualifications and at a lower pay. Hence, those ppl working there are like an animal being chained on their necks, but the chain is not attached to the wall - they can run but they have no where to go, or they stay and suffer... and get paid(or fed in animal context).

I'll stop here. Ny butt itches. Probably my butt perspired. =.=
