The fisherman…

A friend of mine told me a story about a fisherman the other day. It goes like this.

There was once this fisherman. Every morning he would go out to the sea and come back with his catch and sell them at the local market. By the afternoon he would have gotten everything done and would then settle back and relax with his family, playing with his kids etc. Once in a while the whole family would take a trip to somewhere together.

One day a financial planner came along and saw how the fisherman was living his life. He then took the fisherman one side and told the him that he was wasting his time. The financial planner then went to tell the fisherman how he could work out a plan to help him retire 20 years down the road.

He suggest that the fisherman follow his plan and work doubly hard, instead of fishing only in the morning, fish in the afternoon as well to double his profits. He estimate that in 5 years with the additional income he would be able to get another boat and hire some people to help him do additional fishing. In another 5 years time, he would have enough to own a fleet of ships that would be able to work out even more profits for him. If he continues with that, in another 10 years he could be able to list his company on the open market and by then he would be able to retire.

The fisherman, after hearing all that, looked up at the financial planner and asked, "So what will I be doing when I retire?"

The financial planner answered, "Well, you could then spend time with your family, be able to travel to anywhere you want and see the world. Basically live a good life."

The fisherman then replied, "Am I not doing that now?"

I’m such a stiff…

I’m such a bored. A stiff.

You can see from my recent posts that I write about nothing but the weather, the weather and more weather. There are things that I’m thinking of writing but they feel so familiar that I might have written about them before. Yet, I’m too lazy to search through my archives to see if they’ve been written and I just stop and rant on about nonsense like what I’m doing now.

Sigh…

Teochew porridge…

It’s 3.50 am… Hot and humid and I just woke up feeling all uncomfortable and thinking about teochew porridge… Don’t ask me why but I’m suddenly hunting for the best teochew porridge in Singapore… The weather’s got to change…

Run I@n! Run!

Went for run. Given the scorching heat I think I must have burned something in my head. But strangely, I’m feeling rather good after the run. In fact, I was thinking if I should go to the gym for some additional workout but I think I’ll leave that to tomorrow.

Too hot to work…

It’s too hot to work. No aircon, no air cooler, nothing to really cool me down. Very tempted to just go take a nap or something.

Rain dancing…

I’m currently doing the rain dance in my head. Prancing around in nothing and bellowing out loud hoping that the rain would fall… WOOO AHA AHA WWOOOO HOO HOO AHA AHA!

UPDATE:

Rain did not come but police almost came… 

Alternative meaning…

IR = Instant Revenue

IR = Immense Returns

IR =  Incredibly Rich

Please feel free to contribute to the list… 

Time to move on…

Ok, after a few days of grumbling about the casino decision it’s time to move on. Nothing much we can do about it so let’s think about how to work with it and earn from it. Any ideas anyone?

Casino… Why not prostitution, money laundering and loan sharking?

Yar, economic sense. Bring in money for the country. I think they should just cut the crap.

If you’re saying economic sense, the sex industry can be supported in this context. So is money laundering and "loan sharking", if there’s such a term, you know what I mean.

In fact, all vices and crime can be supported in this context. Let’s have pornography, let’s forget about film ratings. We’re mature enough to handle 2 casinos right? So why not adult films and adult industry?

"We will put in place measures to curb the ills". Yeah, where have we heard that before? "Aiyah! I play a bit only lar. I’m not addicted to gambling lar!". Who in the first place would get themselves addicted to gambling on purpose? 

Saying it’s for the greater good’s not going to be good enough, I think they should come up with a better supporting case. They say the world’s changing and we should change too. So why not change the government?

Open dicussion? My foot! Why not a referendum? In fact, where are the human rights activists from US saying about this now? Why the silence?

HYPOCRISY, that’s all I think it is. On one hand they’re telling us to work harder, don’t take the easy way out but on the other hand they’re going the easy way. There’s a chinese saying that goes along the line of whatever riches a family have, it will never go pass 3 generations. I guess for us, Harry junior’s going to be the one who’ll kill us all.

So it’s 2 casinos not 1…

To me the government has shown me that they’ve taken the easy way out while telling us not to. They’ve lost my vote, IF I’m ever given a chance to….

Oracle pain pain pain…

Oracle’s a pain when you need to get things done quick! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Frog eat frog world?

My mum found 2 frogs dead, actually, she found one frog with legs of another frog sticking out of its mouth. Apparently one of them had tried to swallow another killing its victim in the process while it choked to its own death. Weird…

4D!

My parents struck 4D tonight. Not much, one of the smaller winnings but it’s been quite a while since we’ve gained anything via luck. It’s good to see them happy, even if it’s temporary. There’s been a lot on all our minds these days. This small win is definitely a welcome relief…

Project definition problem…

This article sums up what I’m facing now. It’s weird but reading it brought me some level of comfort. Maybe I need a head doctor?

Ipod socks and O2 mini…

Found the ipod socks to be very suitable for use with the O2 mini. Pictures will be coming soon…

Grrr…

I absolutely hate it when people interrupt me when I’m deep into my programming. I especially hate it when it causes me to loose my momentum. ARRGGGGHHH!!!!

It’s so hot…

Today’s a very hot day. I’m soaked. Not with water but in sweat. I’m not even exercising. Sitting there without the fan is enough to melt me.

NO THANK YOU!!!

Girl shoves pen and paper roughly into my face.

"Sir! Just some questions!".

Irritated, I told her, "No thanks."

She goes on shoving it straight into my face blocking my way when I tried to move away repeatedly and saying, "Come on lar…" 

"NO MEANS NO LAH! BLO!@#$!@#$!@#$!!!!!!" 

She turns around and storms off.
