Weekend snapshot: Scene at a filling station

WS2

shell petroleum

For this week’s weekend snapshot I highlight an issue. it is a positive development in my town, Sibu. It used to be that jobs in filling stations were filled by young people. However with the growing affluence of the people, young people are now looking for better jobs. These jobs are now taken by an older generation. They help supplement the family income and help pass their time.

It is a win-win situation.

Happy 2008 to you all.

I beg to disagree. Young people today are over-spoilt and over-pampered. They don’t want to work at petrol stations…in the heat and having to work long hours. They would rather work in air-conditioned supermarkets and restaurants. According to the manager(ess) of one petrol station, after the public exams, some students may go to work…but they do not last a day or two. Complain, complain, complain…that’s all they do!…And what do they do when they get their first paycheck? Buy a new handphone! Go and dye their hair, looking like an escapee from Sepilok Rehabilitation!!!

Delta Mall, Sibu and acrophobia

delta mall

Being Sunday, I took my family to the new shopping centre, Delta Mall. The location is strategic for me and there are so many parking lots though when all the outlets are open, that may no longer be the case. With the advent of Sen Q in Sibu, the prices of electrical goods are expected to become more competitive.

What happens when you are busy with hardly any time to breathe but your great buddy invites you to his wedding celebration? i would go, of course. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Simon is my buddy. But the wedding guests bullied him terribly hahahah all in the spirit of fun. He was made to drink endless toasts, teased about the ending of his fabulous bachelor days etc etc etc. He smiled through it all. He was even asked to sing a song. :)

Photohunters: Messy

photohunters2mo1

My first entry this week focuses on the dining table. I have noticed the restaurant staff always bring out the food deliciously displayed and we expect it to be like that. But we close our eyes to the condition of our own plates and dining table top - Messy

table top

This entry shows my front garden after the recent floods. The furniture has been brought out to dry. I am also in the process of doing some minor renovations in my home. We left some newspapers out too with the furniture. The dog had a lovely time with the newspapers. In fact it went wild. Messy

A happy new year 2008 to you all.

Grandpa wants me to be a doctor

bernard

Everybody wants to be a success. Most people dreamed of being a doctor. It is a glamorous job in the sense that there is glamor in helping people and saving lives. When we miss the boat, we hope our children will become a doctor and when they miss the boat and study IT instead :) , we hope for their grandchildren ;)

Benghui : Daddy, daddy. I have something important to talk to you.
Bengbeng: What?
Benghui: Kong kong wants me to be a doctor. He wants me to be a doctor like Uncle Bernard. I cannot. I don’t want. Because i am not a doctor. If a sick man comes to see me I don’t know what medicine to give. I only know my vitamins, flu medicine and fever medicine. I am so small. Everybody is so big. How can I be a doctor?
Bengbeng: You grow up to be a good man. Earn an honest living. Be a doctor if you want to when the time comes.
Mrs Bengbeng: Next time, if I am sick, I see you and save money.
Benghui: Money? Money?
