Found A Job!

Praise God and Hooray!

After being stressed out for a few weeks, I finally got a call today. Someone offered me a job and the place is really nice. Everyone there is really nice. It's like a big happy family cos the manager really trusts the people and there are no secrets. Main thing is everyone has to work hard and everyone does and we play hard too.

So now since I've been offered a position, I really am very grateful that I can be with friends and work in such a conducive environment. Thing is the boss always encourages us to work and make money any way we can. He has many stories to tell about how to make money. Even though the official terms are not the best, unofficially, they are really nice and will help if we have problems.

This is the best news since we knew we were having another daughter.So, again, praise be to God!

Russia's Leaders Need to Watch More Movies

When I read this report on Yahoo!, I felt like taking hold of some of these old guys and tell them, "Hey! Fiction lah!"

Unless they've been using the Indiana Jones movies to teach their children history. Hmmmm... too poor to create proper historical movies?

Wonder what would happen if they took the Phua Chu Kang series and taught their businessmen that that was the way Singaporean businessmen looked like?

LOL.

MOSCOW - Members of Russia's Communist Party are calling for a nationwide boycott of the new Indiana Jones movie, saying it aims to undermine communist ideology and distort history.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archaeologist competing in 1957 with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers.

It hit Russian screens Thursday.

Communist Party members in St. Petersburg said on a web site this week that the Soviet Union in 1957 "did not send terrorists to the States," but launched a satellite, "which evoked the admiration of the whole world."

Moscow Communist lawmaker Andrei Andreyev said Saturday "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."

BBQ Revisited

The BBQ on Sunday really tired me out. I am GETTING OLD!

Oh anyway, we didn't actually find sea slugs.

Rather, they were sea cucumbers. Here's a link to the info. http://www.wildsingapore.com/chekjawa/text/p630.htm

The images of the red sea cucumbers were similar to what we saw. Way cool! And they were spitting out their guts. That's what Shreyas was asking.

Anyway, ladies, I'm still waiting for the photos, so send them to me, quick. So I can post them here. Especially the ones where I was strangling Jiaxiu. Lol. Or rather, letting her smell some underarm odour.

The Combined BBQ at Pasir Ris Park

The BBQ was cool!
The guys like Seyan, Shreyas and the rest made a sea slug brothel. At least that was what they called it.

We cooked and cooked and I sustained a burn on my left wrist. Now a blister has formed.
The girls kept gathering snails and slugs and little bitty clams. But nobody dared to eat the clams.

Lots of food left over and we gave them away. Jinhui was our "give-em away guy"! And there was this pretty girl from the next pit who offered to buy 3 sticks of charcoal for $2.

Oh yeah, Jiaxiu was so freaked out by the slugs. And Caleb kept creeping up behind Jiaxiu at the bus stop and she freaked out each time he did or when someone touched her. She was so scared of ghosts.

Siti, 2D chairperson was like a rock. Solid. Made sure all the main stuff arrived early. Then left early. Alamak! How come? BBQs don't end until the skies become dark!

Anyway, we really have to do this more often. I can't wait to see the photos.
