Why are Facebook games so popular? I’ve started to play Restaurant City and Mafia Wars on Facebook when I was overseas, since I didn’t had my computer with me to play any other games. I gave up on Restaurant City after a few days, but I’m continuing to play Mafia Wars, and in some ways, [...]

It’s a dog eat dog world out there. Perhaps especially so in Singapore? One very important lesson I’ve learnt from working is either you command someone or someone command you, or, both ways.
And trust me, being at the end of the food chain is the worst feeling there is. Some people are born with bigger [...]

Sure, we’re attracting alot of foreign talents, but are we losing our local talents to other countries that give them more than just a sense of security?
After all, this sense of security is very important to the older generation. A secure job, no natural disasters, a safe neighborhood, good education, peaceful lives. I [...]

There’s this really cute and somewhat bashful intern at my office and we all love him to bits~
Kathleen, another of my colleague, reminded me yesterday that it was going to be April FoOooLS! *grin* We all knew what this meant… surprises for our Intern!
I won’t disclose his name here since I’m going dilvulge evil [...]

For the past one to two weeks, my colleagues have been falling ill one by one… Many have been taking MCs for extended peiords. Two of my colleagues were even hospitalised plagued with serious cough, flu and possibly some form of contagious pneumonia.
Illness can be spread very easily in the office due to the small [...]

I’ve recently found that many people like to use the word “Revert” in their office place. I’m not sure if this is a phenomena  exclusive to Singapore offices but I find it mildly irritating that so many people are using this word in the wrong context and no one realizes it. This is even more [...]

I’ve only been working for less than three weeks and already, I’ve been feeling the toll of dragging my feet to work every morning. How do people drag themselves to work everyday for so many years - almost all their lives!
I am a drone.

I perform.
I act upon [...]
