A controversial story

I was reading Black Swan and there was a story about the drowned worshippers.

One Diagoras, a nonbeliever in the gods, was shown painted tablets bearing worshippers who prayed, then survived a subsequent shipwreck. The implication was that praying protects u from drowning. Diagoras then asked,'' Where were the pictures of those who prayed, then drowned?''

Happen to meet a 'friend'

So I saw this friend a month back when I was eating lunch with Ms Chua. This 'friend' came to me and asked me where I am working now. I say I am auditing GIC now. She misheard what I say and thought I was saying GIC. She said where is you name card. I took out of my name card and say its just a big 4 company. And when she saw my name card, she said chey... auditing firm..

I wasn't offended but I am disgusted by her actions. Haha. She only asked my name card because she thought I was working in a prestigious firm. Damn realistic! Thats life. How come not many people ask me whether I am happy to work instead of asking me where I work? I have another friend who is an accountancy grad, decided to chose outward bound as a career. I think its important to find a job you like and right now I am not sure whether I will like my future job but I have a feeling it will be better than audit :)

31st July NDP Preview

I manage to get the tickets as my brother-in-law couldn't make it for the NDP Preview. Even though it is a preview, a lot of people turn up. Some are interested in the goodie bags, while others are interested in the performance and atmosphere.

Lots of effort has been spent to create this annual event and the national day songs made me shivered, feeling very nostalgic and rekindle my love for Singapore. Its like finally you sing Majulah Singapura again. I think the last one is my NTU convocation. Memories flashed back and I remember I went to National Stadium to support Singapore, the Singapore Vs Malaysia Tiger Cup semi finals match. I think what Singapore provides us are Peace and Security. I feel I always take peace for granted.

Here are the pictures:
