Am

It has been quite a while since I last blogged.....how time flies. Now I've been in Singapore for 1 month or so, I think. Today is a day for mixed emotions, I must say...a day of mixed feelings.

Switched on the tv about 1pm plus, saw the tv was playing one of my favorite movie.....that thing you do! Hmm....it's actually an old movie, but it always managed to strike back my memories of old....back when I am in my secondary school days. I am so mesmerized by the group, this movie and the songs...they were very popular back then. It was a retro moment for my time, every human on earth must have loved them like mad. I smiled, all my memories seem to come back into my life for a good ol' moment...how I wish it never end.

Went to a 6pm movie with my friends and wife. It was the 'Shinjiku Incident' or something like that, as far as I can remember. I would give it a rating about 4 out of 5 star. Nice story line, clear to relate on the happenings of the movie. The movie is still vividly living in my mind, till this moment. I would encourage those to go for the show if they want to get a rough idea on how realistic the world can be sometimes. Betrayal, money, hardships and even friends making use of one another....this show is quite capable of telling the audience on the realistic facts of the world. Halfway through the show, my eyes went teary when Jacky Chen cried as Daniel Wu lost his hand, Daniel Wu was telling him that he wants to have his hand back. It was a heart-pain moment for me....I seem to understand how they felt. I began to tell myself, the world is realistic....and so are the majority of people living in this world.

Back into this realistic world, my wife is actually quite worried that I won't be able to get a good job. To be honest, I have actually received a offer from a company, the offer was not up to my expectation. Adding to the fact, the boss pushed down my salary till a point, where I find it quite hard to accept. He told me a ship captain in Malaysia is earning about SGD3K plus...so he offered something like a fresh grad pay for me. You guys must be thinking, I must be mad not to take up the job.....I am lucky to get a job nowadays. I understand your perspective, but coming from where I am. A ship captain earns more than that, I know that as a matter of fact. If the boss had told me that he needs manpower, but would like me to lower down my salary range. I would have joined his company immediately. He told me that he likes people to be transparent, when working for him...as in he needs people to be honest. But from here, I've come to a conclusion that he, as a boss, is not honest with me....how in the world can I work for him? I have told him I will consider his offer and give him a reply,latest by tuesday.

My wife is always telling me to get a job fast, I understand her point. But when I asked her if I am working for another company, then another better offer comes along. I wish to jump...how can I go over immediately? She told me it's possible for an employee to tender within 2 days, as long as he/she is still under probation. From my part, I have never pressured her to get a high-paying job, or force her to get a job which she doesn't like. Recently, she got a job offer from her previous employer, but the terms offered were lower than what she is offered, which she is working for her current company. I am quite sad...
