My poor poor fish...

Couldn't fall asleep on the Deepavali night... Slept the whole day I guess that attributed to the insomnia...

Anyway, spent the time researching on my fish... Seems like that's a ray of hope for my poor fish.

Here's the pics:

Before it was attacked, orange fish in the center.

Staring at you in shock...

Poor thing...

Haiz... Left with no tail and fins... Heart breaking isn't it?

Added fish medicine in, hope it'll help! Gotta change the water in a week's time and re add the medicine again.

Saw this post on Facebook, kinda rooting for the guy.

It's called "Solar Bottle Bulb". The guy's a genius and definitely amazing.

I just wonder will Singapore adopt this kind of smartness?

Sometimes thinking of the situation here just saddens me.

Singaporeans are too comfortable with their lives, so much so that manual labor and physical work are deemed low class and 'unfit' for Singaporeans as 'ideal' jobs.

The society here is also degrading. The answer to why our population is shrinking can be traced to 1 root cause. Let's analyze...

• Girls at very young age are told the 'excel' in their studies.
• They re-prioritize. Studies is important, so that in future can get high paid job.
• Primary -> Secondary -> 'A' levels/Diploma -> Bachelors -> Masters -> PHD...
• Due to the high cost of living, wanna provide for family therefore working becomes priority.
• Because now women can stand on their own feet with good education and good career, eventually they don't need men.
• Subsequently they realize they don't need men to provide for them anymore, there's no need for women to rely on men to bring the bread home etc.
• Evolution, therefore thinks like men and starts behaving like men.
• The rest of the story? Population shrinks and age.

Well, it's my theory.

To counter this? Follow what other countries are doing!

Acknowledge that home-schooling and bringing up children are important!

Part of Singapore's 'total defence', socially stay-home men and women are PAID monthly to home-school or raise their own children.

This way, the so called high cost of living is lessen because the government is actually giving the families a leeway or avenue to become a full-time housewife/husband. Obviously we're not talking about cheats in the system whereby both spouse work and leave the mother or in-law to take care of the children.

I don't understand why so many countries are adopting this system yet Singapore is not?

I'm not trying to be a MCP or what, I don't mind being a househusband, in fact I think it's very relaxing to stay home to do housework, take care of the children, cook, doing what every mother and father will want to do and maybe just live on $800 a month? The rest of the income can just come from 1 spouse, man or woman doesn't matter.

Well, after all said and done, I guess Singaporean's mentality just cannot make it... Sad...

80k servicing...

Brought my baby for her health check up today...
Was told that the work quality vs price is of great value...
Wonder is it perceived or actual, well, nobody would know I guess hehe.

Please make a nice non-camera phone for me...

Dear - Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt.

I love Windows Phone for its customizations ability and how it compatible it is to it's mother OS, Windows. The iOS is also one of my favourite for the ease of use and simplicity, making it so popular amongst everyone. Also Android has captured the imagination of everyone just because it is Open Source. That alone will give users, programmers and phone manufacturers unlimited creativity for future developments.

I just wished that somehow 1 day the world can see the collaboration between theses great wonders that you guys have created and that'll really be something.

Right now in my eyes there's no clear winner. Although truth be told it's not about winning, but as long as there is a 'pie', one that everyone wants a slice of. Perhaps I could shed some light on one 'pie' that most people would disregard.

Non-camera 3G phones...

For countless times, I've been looking for many many phones that can connect me to the world at the touch of my fingertips. One that does not have the irritating but useful function of the Camera. The very plain reason is because my workplace doesn't allow it.

It's pretty simple to understand, I could be from the DoD, Militatry, someone who works in the High Court, certain departments in Hospitals. I could also be someone who deals with sensitive Chemicals, Data, Training Materials. Maybe somebody who is a Prison Warden, Government Official or just someone who cannot have a camera at work.

So I'm pleading on behalf of theses great men and women, those of us who sacrificed our time at work in 'secrecy' and discreetness. Please collaborate with mobile phone companies and create a non-camera 3G phone that has Bluetooth, WiFi, GPRS, GPS, EDGE, QuadBand etc. all the functions WITHOUT a Camera!

I strongly believe that we are no less deserving than those who work out of theses sensitive areas, I believe this would be a wonderful reward that anyone could give us. Yes, we might not be majority of the market, but does this mean we are of less importance? This point really grieves me, who is taking care of us? Society doesn't accept us anymore after all those sacrifices? I do not want to believe so.

On behalf of those whom are standing in my shoes, I ask you, please. Help us! This pie is left untouched...

Yours Sincerely,
Leonard Chia

Nice ending for a nice year

So 2011 is here and there goes 2010!

Looking back, I think I've achieved a whole lot in 2010.

It still feels like a dream when I think of it as I started my year in San Diego. We achieved Operational Readiness even as we migrate back to Singapore. I've learnt a lot this year. From a normal End User all the way up the EM Data Admin and even SM Planner, I think nobody had raised up this ladder so fast, all within a year!

Also the sails!!! URGH!!! The wanting to puke and bad bad camaraderie with the Seamen. Just thinking of it gives me the shudders...

Not to mention I've almost attempted all the IPPT sessions that are available! My OC actually recorded it! 2 Pages long! From Apr to Dec. Finally I've passed, and with flying colors on the last try! Thanks to all that had  not given up on me. Thanks to those who paced me, ran with me and trained with me. Let's see if I can continue training and get a Silver timing next work year?

That brings me to the little "pact" that Judah made for me with God... I can't remember clearly was it a verse, chapter or a book. But I'm gonna try my best to at least finish a book of the bible. I will finish it, and I'll find one book that I've not read or not completed before! Pray for me =)

My new year resolutions?
Work less, eat less, 'emo' less.
Service more, cell more, exercise more.

Let's see how things goes this year!

BTW, The Tourist was GREAT! I love Johnny Depp's acting. It's just absorbs you attention and throw you off at the twist. The casting was perfect for this show. Angelina Jolie is the right choice, giving the mysticism, making you wanting to know more and what's next. 4/5 stars! A little more action, a little more humor and it'll be 5 stars =)

Happy New Year all! God bless =)
