A Mind of My Own

When I first started working, I wore T-shirts and jeans to work. I didn’t need to wear any formal clothes because I had to change into the uniform provided. I didn’t need to crack my head about what I was going to wear the next day.

After I changed my workplace, I had to do some shopping. I had no fashion sense whatsoever. My clothes were often of the plain old blouse with white and pink. Even my pants were of mostly the ’safe’ colour, black. I should have gone to check out New York fashion schools to help me in my fashion sense.

Maybe I could have taken a course with Westwood College Online that is a fashion school in New York to help me in merchandising. I could be earning my 1st million now and more after that. Who wouldn’t want to have a great sense of fashion and still be earning big bucks?

I now have too much clothes that I don’t wear that often. I still remember the 80/20 rule. 20% of the clothes are worn 80% of the time. I bet fashion schools New York would be able to help me.

Here I am faced with the option of continuing my contract or not. It seems that I have to renew it at this moment. I was looking forward to a change of job scope instead. Looks like I’m stuck at it for the moment. Might as well earn some more money since I’m still able to do it.

I’m just wondering how long I should give myself to working towards a change; 6 months or a year?

I want to retire rich and young. Sounds like a dream, right? As long as I don’t take any action, it will always be a dream. Money doesn’t come easy. We have to work long days just earn that extra $100 for paying off the bills and have some for food.

While some may dabble in stocks, is there a way to be able to actually make a killing in stocks? That’s provided you know when to sell and when to buy. One doesn’t gamble in stocks, one makes use of stocks for getting out of the rut.

There’s a difference between trading, speculating and gambling. Obviously, since gambling is just putting your money without the odds being in your favour. Not everyone is able to go into trading and stay focused.

Trading needs a lot of effort to be put in the first time. You build up your own system and checklist that is working for you. You alone control where your money will go. You reduce your risks. Finance isn’t just about saving up for studies, retirement or kids. It’s for life.

I wonder what sort of environment gave the boys the liberty of taking photos of their teacher. They were caught attempting to take photos of her panties or possibly hoping for something with more skin. I didn’t realise that boys at age 14 are so deprived. Oh wait, they are from a boy’s school in North East.

So, boys, is your teacher hot and sexy?

The story

TWO 14-year-old boys tried to take upskirt photos of their female teacher last week.

They were caught when many of their classmates, who witnessed the incident, approached the teacher in question and told her what happened.

The result: The two boys will be publicly caned.

The teacher made a police report last Thursday.

This is not the first time that such an incident has happened in the boys’ school, located in the North-East.

Last year, two other boys were publicly caned for taking upskirt pictures of another teacher with their handphones.

Regarding last week’s incident, the school principal told my paper: “We confiscated the boys’ phones and found no evidence on them.

“They tried to take pictures but failed. Nevertheless, they will be caned publicly.”

The boys confessed that they did attempt to take the picture.

She added: “We always advise our teachers that since they are teaching in a boys’ school, they must be careful.

“They are also advised against sitting on tables if they are wearing skirts.”

However, she said, as most handphones now come with cameras, the problem has become more complex.

She said: “There is the problem of them forwarding the obscene pictures to their friends.”

To counter this, the school has banned the use of handphones in classrooms.

She added: “If they are caught, we will confiscate their handphones.

“And if we find pornographic or upskirt pictures in the phone, we will hand them over to the police.”

She added that she does not tell her teachers not to wear skirts because it gives the wrong impression that the teacher is at fault.

She said: “This suggests that it’s their (the teachers’) dressing that provokes the boys to take the pictures and this is wrong.”

The police confirmed that a report has been filed and are investigating the matter.

Sometimes, I wonder if females, the so-called weaker sex, earn more or males earn more. A quick search shows that men earn more than women. See, the top 10 richest people in the world are men in 2006. M E N! And China, ah, the growing powers of their rich. Seems that they are catching up with their Western counter parts. And Miss Yang Huiyan, just 26, inherited her billions due to her father. In the end, it’s the man yet again.

The list of billionaires are predominantly men. What about Singapore’s list then? Ah ha! Still mostly men! So this little research of mine shows that men earn more despite their late start into their careers. Don’t complain if you have to “waste” 2 years of your youth in NS. Because ultimately, men earn more in the long run.

I have encountered a speed bump. Was informed by my superior that I may not have the chance to transfer to the other department as I didn’t have the paper qualifications. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone in the department that I wished to join. Would have made the transition a lot easier. I’ll be working towards it still. I just have to write a few samples and submit to her and see if she can get them to take a look at them.

I hope to prove that despite the lack of the papers, I can still make it. Meanwhile, I’ll try out other ways and see what’s the results. I must persevere. Someone did and has been happy with it.

It’s true. Singapore is green with trees everywhere, and look! Even our face is green too! You see, we work like slave, end up all wounded, but no pay raise. Just look at the Face Green Green video.

Life has its ups and downs. My mood has been on a roller coaster ride recently. I have no mood to do anything despite that I lack nothing. Could it be my goals were not achieved? Nothing new since I didn’t write them down and work towards them. Yet, I wonder if I were really upset about my lack of my goals being achieved.

I haven’t accomplished my 1st million. Important? In this era, how to achieve?

Personal development, have I changed or improved myself? Not that I can see except that I no longer get annoyed easily by the nemesis, MC.

Job scope unsatisfactory. Yes. I am bored. Very bored to tears, really. It had become routine and that was why I was literally crying when I came to the office last week. A talk with my manager relieved the mood a little.

At this stage, where is my life going? Where will I be?

Upon graduation, we have to look for jobs. We will try via friends, recruitment agencies and online resources. With all these resources, we hope to land with a job that will offer lucrative remuneration so that we can work towards our retirement plan.

It’s a bonus when we meet recruiters who match us with the job that we are looking for. With human resources, engineering, information technology and risk management jobs available, we can be assured that we’ll be matched with the correct job.

When we encounter an experienced recruitment agency like A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc., we can be assured that we’ll be given the right match. From the middle to management levels.
