Gong Xi Fa Cai

Do we really need to send someone a new year greeting card?
With the prolifilation of technology, a mass sms greeting will save time and money.

What i noticed is a shift in business models.
A shift from traditional-based business to technology-based enterprises.

Post offices are making way to telecommunication companies.
The beast that devours makes small incremental gain towards the prey.
Slowly but surely, the predator will prevail.

When is the last time you have seen a seamstress, a cobbler or even a tailor?
If the MRTs can run unmanned, then basically the driver loses his job.
Soft-drink dispensers are edging into your friendly cheng-teng seller's territory.

Look at what you are doing now...
Are you the prey waiting for the python to squeeze you till your last breath?

cold weather - rain = good

I love cold weather.
I love it when it shows 26'C in my living room even without switching on the air-con.
Cold weather is such a blast. Reminds us of Melbourne.

I dun really enjoy the rain though.
Rain + baby = a great deal of hassle.
We can be drenched, take a hot shower, and all's well.
But baby lisette must be accorded 100% protection from the rain, lest she falls sick.

Rain softens the ground and creates potholes on the road, making rides bumpy.
Not baby friendly.

Rain = traffic jam.

Cold weather = more babies 9 months down the road.
