Unfair Remmuneration and Net Worth
‘Economics for everyone, not just Wall St. Straits Times 2009′
After reading this article by Stiglitz, I learnt a few things from his review.
I was inspired by what he mentioned in his opening paragraph, telling us about what Normal Boulag did which brought about major change in the face of today’s economy and population-the Green Revolution- which has feed the many in Asian countries like India such that we have it as a rising power today. Yet, one majorly upseting fact is that many in Africa are still poor in dire predicaments with the lack of food and war affliction.
It’s inpsiring to know that when one truly works with passion and love and for A CAUSE, his work will not go unrewarded, unrecognized nor become unworthy.
Whereas those Wall St CEOs who do not deserve their FAT wages get it through ways and means by the act of balancing the accounts.
Sometimes I really wonder if a person’s worth is determined by their Net Worth. My friend once told me that he sees himself that way. I hope he will see one day that human value cannot be measured by this single variable that is made out of paper and numbers that are electronically stored in databases nor the material things.
Sometimes is hard to evade from this reality that money really counts. But how much do we all deserve. Sometimes I just wanna give up my ideals and dreams and to pursue money as an end. Will that bring satisfaction and a sense of security in the end. I would still say ‘yes’. But also ‘no’ cos’ you might fear losing it or it’ll never be enough. Sometimes money as a measure of how much one has achieved. Sometimes we forget the fragility in live where everything can be gone overnight.
But all I ask for now is I can accomplish my ideals and be self-suffiicent by my own hands.

If only I exist in a vacuum
Sometimes you just don’t wanna perform your gender roles, duties, and obligations. Too bad you don’t live in a vacuum where only you exists. When you belong to a community, it’s hard even to be left alone for awhile. There really ain’t no problem with you, just need some quiet. A differnt phase, a different time, a different mind.

A new phase
Insecurity. Fear. Lose Lusture. Individualism. byebye.
Impression management, having to meet up to what other’s think you might be. That’s tough, ain’t gonna try that.
Moving out of comfort zone. Yea,just like Kris Allen’s ‘No boundaries’, that was kinda hard for him to reach yet he did it.
Too much talk about how peeps look, how much a dress cost and the supercial talk. Press the wrong button.
Family. that’s now my priority.
Self-repression. gotta go.
Wild streak. It’s always lingering somewhere within and never will go.
Superficial talk is easy. But sometimes I rather my lips sealed.
Hates judgement.

Armpits
Hey, there’s this recent advert on the TV which promotes N… deodorant, featuring slim and beautiful ladies with immaculate white skin and completely flawless porcelain like armpits! Seen it? Love it? haha… I was browsing through my sister’s phone when a picture of my lil’ cousin, Avery, was doing a perfect pose for that advertorial! I’ve decided to put it here and maybe the company might wanna buy it. (pls contact me for the mum’s number.) well, this is just for laugh.
The advert ends with a line saying: ‘Beauty is confidence.’ Man, I really really pity us woman! Why does every part of our body get under scrutiny?? Even armpits? Come on… It not only has to be hairless now, it has to be spotless and white-beautiful! Spare us from the dissection of our body and bringing every inch under examination can! Now, we gotta get confident with our armpits too. wow! How ‘un-stressful’ it is to be the physically perfect woman.
Excuse me right now cos I need to go and shave, scrub, tweeze and WHITEN. HAHAHA.

Happy Mother’s Day to Grandma
We had an early Mother’s Day celebration today. My Mum and 2 aunts joined planned this celebration and the uncles were left out, I suppose they are busy with work. We didn’t go to some fancy restaurant but went to a coffeeshop at AMK. The older ones always say that expensive food lose out to coffee shop food. However when it comes to wedding, the food doesn’t really matter, it just has to be a five star hotel for name’s sake. I guess that’s just their mentality, always having to make the best impression I guess.This is so random… But I always hope to have a getaway wedding, I really don’t wish to do wedding which ends up being our parents’ wedding. (OUR when I haven’t got someone to speak of OUR. haha!)
My 2 lil’ cousins ended up playing PSP at a corner and I interrupted their session, insisting that it’s my turn after Keith. Keith put up a strong protest but I grabbed it from him once he’s done. It’s nice being a kid once in awhile, be childish and annoying ans squabble around. =p My sister was talking to uncle-in-law and showing him how to play some game. She even downed half a mug of Heineken. Sometimes kids just love doing things that make them seem more adult. I’ve been through that too.
Now I have to scour my brain for some ideas for Mother’s day.

Rubinstein is our friend!
7th May 3009, it was an eventful day for Jessica cos her posting is OUT! It took her almost an hour for reality to sink in and it hit her like a bullet without any pre-eminent warning. Congratulations my dear, God has seen the desired of your heart and answered your prayers, I know He’ll give you the strength and wisdom and see you through it=)
First, we got stopped by a lady to make a monthly pledge to a particular association to help the needy. Apparently, she mistook us as working adults. The waitress manageress gave us a few good compliments too.Seems like a lil’ maquillage and dressing up makes us look a tad more mature. Dinner was a simple fare at Thai Express (Jessica’s 1/4 Thai therefore we’ve decided to pay her heritage a visit by experiencing the culture’s most delectable dishes) and we had our fill. Unfortunately, Jessica left her camera in her office while mine at home. Rubin happily ate Carl’s Jr in the afternoon and he barely made it through 1/3 of his dish? haha… Dear Rubin is leaving for US on the 12th May for 3 months! We’ll miss you dearly. Take good care, good pictures, good food, make good buys and take care of good girls okay? wahaha…
The live band at Wala Wala was impressive, thumbs ups to whatever the band is. They sang well and worked well as a group though I felt that the attention was largely given to the bassist and vocalist.Somehow we got started with playing ‘guess the song’ game and I lost so badly. Rubin did well in guessing The Fray’s ‘Save the day?’ (see… I told you I can’t remember song titles and singers.) On our way home, Jessica announced that ‘Collide’ by Howie day shall be our ‘theme song’. Whee!!! It’s funny how live made our paths cross and the 3 of us can just hang out so freely. Freely in a sense that we don’t feel awkward or iffy about it, such triad friendship doesn’t come by easily.
Okay, here’s the deal! “Mr is here to check out girls and grab some attention!” screams his booty shaking and glances throwing. This fella in front of me spotted a hot girl beside me and told his whole table of friends to ogle at her. Shortly after a few uncomfortable ‘check-outs’ done by that bunch of ppl, that pretty (pitiful) lady made her exit down the stairs. He served as a good entertainment to us still. haha. Bumless booty shaker, maybe you need to stuff some pillows in that pants!
Knackered after a long and tiring day, we headed home to hit our sacks. hehe… This really ain’t the full story cos Jessica has her own version which remains undisclosed. hehe.. Pls read this and scold me Jessica cos I love teasing you! =p Note: For the full story, please contact Ms Yim to find out more.
That’s all for today! See you till then…
