An extract..Originally posted by Inzaghi:i think its inevitable tat rates will go down?.....
come to think of it, arent we singles without commitment lucky?.
"I propose, therefore, that we give up the 40 percent target, so that we can save jobs. We should find a lower contribution rate for the long-term, one which still gives the majority of Singaporeans enough CPF to pay for housing, healthcare and retirement expenses," he said.
Mr Goh, however, cautioned that it is hard to settle on a single number as the long-term CPF rate as economic conditions nowadays are too unpredictable.
"I would, therefore, want the option of cutting CPF in bad years, and conversely, putting more into the CPF in good years. This will give us greater room to manoeuvre, to respond to the competitive environment," he said.
I wonder if it'd go down beyond "30%' in worse times since anything once promised may be retracted now..
and that minimum increase makes me frown.
Are you planning to stay single? -
uhh.. off topic but just got my daily shock... a hand suddenly appears over the "wall" of the cubicle and moves across the top of the "wall"... it happens everyday but i can't get used to it as it seems like something from a horror flick... but it's just the nice cleaner lady
also need to rant... can't our legal unit brainiacs get their position straight!?!?? it's one position for a few months.. the there's a change for a few months... then it's a flip-flop back to the original position again!!
how can we do our work like that!!
okay.. back to the usual stuff going on...

can i assure you, that you are not alone. did personality test with hubby and we are almost opposite, save for one area. but each day we discover how different we are. for me, learning to see that my way is not the only nor the best. accepting him for who he is..Originally posted by shutthehellup:me ah..going 1 year.
i have been to FOP held by Hillsongs. not bad, very lively.
i dunno....u know when couples have so many differences between each other, and the ONLY thing holding them together is love?? it's not an easy journey i realised.
eg. my hubby needs to learn things hard way, only if he scalds his hand then he will realise it's hot. for me, i pre-empt and to avoid. so i wonder why he allow certain things to happen... but i realise that it's makes him more adventurous and optimistic too... that i have to learn from him. -
nope.. didn't goOriginally posted by skinnybeanie:oh yes, he took very good care of me and gave me lotsa rest
still coughing away... but well on the road of recovery.
Did any of you went for the HIllsongs Concert? -
hmmm... for me, i will be thankful if love is the ONLY thing holding my marriage together, rather than the ONLY thing being the piece of marriage cert.Originally posted by shutthehellup:me ah..going 1 year.

Marriage is never an easy journey. How can a union of 2 imperfect humans be perfect?
I do know sometimes the journey gets tiresome and one might feel that he/she is the only party who keeps giving and giving. But dun give up on love, cuz i still think, love is the greatest thing on earth.
By the way, are you a Christian?
Hillsongs is my fav group, i love their songs -

it's always good to thrash out stuff, rather than keeping it and letting it snowballed into something much more irreconcilable...Originally posted by pool.gal:they were in town?? me so out of the loop. where have i been man??
busy with work. quite a few things to rush through. comp was down with the blaster worm thingy... so using excuse to see if it's still there by logging on
feeling great generally. the week before was not so good. had to thrash out some stuff with hubby. draining and all. but now we are better.
Glad you both are better now -
there goes my chance to buaya u liaoOriginally posted by pool.gal:an impersonator? me more than 18 altho' i look like 18. i'm plus 10 years. so sorry if i've created any misunderstanding. not trying to mislead anyone... -
me good..Originally posted by pool.gal:hey... how you?
nothig drastic in my life.. but good enough to get by.. -
it's just different way we approach matters. my hubby and i learn to be more aware of our own and the other person's preferences. sometimes, he does more giving in... ok, much much more. i appreciate that. that's one thing about guys. they are so giving.Originally posted by shutthehellup:same here. sometimes i wonder if he is senile or something, sees a hold in front and still walks forward,,
for example, i realise that my hubby responds when i give him a reason. so i help him understand why certain things to be done in a certain way and if it's logical and reasonable, he'll accept it.
what's the area of potential conflict? -
oh, yes sir, it is from that showOriginally posted by M:eh, that's from "mind your language"
ah, don't worry about it, it's most impt you had a great time.. just teasin but i'd be happy to visit on ya open house
the open house will not be so soon cuz it's still pretty bare...
but will step up on it! -
sorry...Originally posted by Master -_-:there goes my chance to buaya u liao

yup.. always hate to go through such things but realise the beauty after it. if it cannot break me (i'll not allow it), it'll make me... strength to strength and drawing from His!!Originally posted by skinnybeanie:it's always good to thrash out stuff, rather than keeping it and letting it snowballed into something much more irreconcilable...

Originally posted by the Bear:it seems harder than Warcraft 2... but maybe i'm rusty...
i've never come anywhere near the efficiency and effectiveness as when i played Starcraft... now, that, at that time and place, i was pretty good...
actually not sure how W3 is supposed to be like.. mine's a copy and you can play whatever you want... whatever chapter too.. is there a sequence to follow? i'm using the Orcs first as i like the orcs a tad late but..
WC3 is RTS with RPG elements.. for the campaign, if you start clean, it'd begin from humans, then undead or orc (forgot the order) and it'll end with elves if i recall correctly..
you'll be playin all races in through a single storyline.
The multis are quite fun.. variation to the game, instead of the same ol' build and conquer, there are mods to it. -
that's great!!Originally posted by sillyme:me good..
nothig drastic in my life.. but good enough to get by.. -

the thing is, his idea of what is right and what is wrong is totally weird and wired wrongly.. i actually consulted my close frens, they said logically i am correct...and he still doesnt admit to his mistakes!! and when he apologizes, it's not becos he learnt his mistake, it's becos he doesnt wanna go on fighting.Originally posted by pool.gal:it's just different way we approach matters. my hubby and i learn to be more aware of our own and the other person's preferences. sometimes, he does more giving in... ok, much much more. i appreciate that. that's one thing about guys. they are so giving.
