Be Discipline

End of the year has always been a time for me to unwind, thus I have the tendency to reserve my leave to the end of the year.

This year has been slightly unsettled for me.  Instead of slowing down in our activities, we are gearing up.  Having more than 10 days of leave that could not be brought forward to next year, I am caught in a "stressful" chore to clear them.

To ensure I remember to enjoy my entitlement, I actually have to stick a post-it on my laptop, to remind myself constantly of the number of leave I need to clear.

It sounds silly as leave is such an enjoyment, but for workaholic like me, taking leave requires discipline.

Miss Singapore World Saga



First, it was her Singlish, then it was the credit card fraud. 

Thought that the entire episode would have come to an end with Ris Low relinquished her Miss Singapore World 2009 title.

Nope, now she was on the verge of revenge, to bring the first-runner up Claire Lee to shame.

The former Miss Singapore World has accused Claire Lee for backstabbing her by tipping the media on her credit card fraud charges.

It is the first time, in my memory, that a local pageant has turned into a mockery.

I am glad that the 19-year old is finally not going to represent Singapore.  I don't care who will be the new representative nor if the latter were to trip and fall on international stage.

Not because of her poor comment of English (who am I to judge her), nor was her past dishonest act (you can't blame her for her bipolar medical condition). It is her lack of maturity.

Need I explain further?
