I was at a baby products fair last week and saw a BRO’S water bottle with a message on it.. it reads “Education is the only way out of poverty”.

That is a really true statement. Donation and micro credit helps in the short term but education is long term and its what would propel the society out of poverty and of course, to greater heights.

I think I have stayed in the same job for far too long and the sudden change makes me feel relaxed. Well, the workload in the new department is heavier as I can see on the faces of my new department mates. I don’t have that much work yet but that doesn’t mean I will be spared. Politics aside, people in the non-motor are far more independent and opinionated than the previous department. I’m saying this very frankly and there’s nothing to be afraid to be talked about. Here, people are more progressive and you can see people strive to better their career. I’m not saying there aren’t such people in the old department but there are more over here now. Most of the people in the old dept are in their comfort zone and I was one of them before. I’ve been telling MC to go and take up insurance studies if he is going to stay in this field.

Its good to see competition because that’s the only away to propel forward.

Learning and starting all over again (not literally from scratch but the learning curve is there) is so far so good. With years of experience on motor, picking up non-motor is somewhat easier than from afresh. Hopefully could be able to master the art of loss adjusting is this few years. Thinking of taking up loss adjusting professional studies. Hmm… but thats not so soon. Still got a few more CII papers to complete first. Just gotta take it slowly. Adjusting to the work culture in hand is more important now. How many 10 years do we have in life?

With Bubu G coming soon, hopefully I can find time to juggle for family and studies+career so that I can give my baby son a stainless steel / bronze if not silver or gold spoon when he is born. Trying my best looking for a decent house and environment for my boy to grow up and have a great childhood. A comfortable life is all I want. I don’t need a Lamborghini or Ferrari. They are for jocks.

Watched Basic Instinct yesterday. Yes..that 1992 movie starring Sharon Stone (she hot) and Michael Douglas. Throughout the entire movie, I keep on seeing my friend Keith Theseira on the TV.

Man, he now really looks like the young Michael Douglas then in that movie.

Go google “Keith Theseira” images….and of course, “Michael Douglas basic instinct”.

So… today is the much hyped 11-11-11 and many people said its an auspicious. Indeed its an auspicious day.

This morning I was hoping something good and extraordinary to happen. Sure enough it DID happened. Received the good news in the afternoon and it made my day. I think Bubu G had brought us luck this year. Many good things happened.

Dear Lord, thank you for all the blessings.

I just don’t know what to say… the bitches…no, just one bitch…is making me go mad.

They forgot my salary adjustment this month (despite having issued me an official letter for the revised salary) and I raised the issue to them through an email.

Then the bitch called/intercom’ed me and asked to confirm the channel for which I want to receive the shortfall in the salary payment. After that I just put the conversation in writing just for record purposes and immediately the phone rang again.

I got scolded by that bitch for putting a conversation/discussion into writing for a blunder which they started in the first place. They dare not even reply my email and opted to just talk it over the phone. They just don’t realise that the keyboard is mightier than the pen, sword, truncheon, machete etc.

No matter how friendly you are to someone, when it comes to money, you better put it in writing. Fuck you bitch.

Being a first time parent, I’m damn excited. Of course I know of the commitments I need to address but the shopping part was fun. You would want to provide the best for your kid if you could afford it and I will look into ways to afford it.

Spent the whole day at shopping malls – Ikano and 1Utama buying stuff for little Bubu G. There are just so much thing to buy and selecting clothes alone can take up half a day.

Am looking for a good baby cot which is of industrial strength and can withstand the five elements – fire, water, wind, earth and wood. Where can I get such a cot? Graco’s Travel Contour cot seems to be value for money but can it’s matress provide a good sleeping posture for the baby?? The plastic frame looks kinda flimsy. But the good thing is that it comes with a playpen and a diaper-changing panel. 3 in 1. And it’s foldable and can be carried for out station travel.

Milk. What brand is the best ? Scandinavian brands or Down Under? According to Ng’s mom, she’d recommend or prefer Scandinavian due to their scrupulous business practice. Hmm..is that true? China brands are obviously NO.

Toys, for early years, if possible, please get the baby toys of better quality as they may be putting the stuff in their mouth and you don’t want colours to fade and dirty the mouth and stain their tongue.

Whoa, too much to read up about buying essential stuff chapter alone in the parenting bible.

The gynae gave us a very good souvenir yesterday, the ultrasound image printout of my son’s dick. I jubilated and jumped and I almost knocked my head on the ceiling.

Now, I need a name for him.

Joginder G
Wolverine G
Caleb G
Ashok G
Jacob G
Metallica G
Harrison G

Fooh. That’s only the western name. Chinese name already so many people fighting to name my son.

I AM THE DADDY !! They can only suggest the names and I will have the final say. Not even the priest, monk, fortune teller, palm reader, face reader etc. Period.

I have a few selections here:

G Chun Loong
G Cheng Loong
G Tow Foo
