Came back from soccer real shacked yesterday (did i mentioned that we won 2-1? Muahaha.. I scored one of them..)... my whole body is burning the whole night... Was bz revising my investment.. still stuck at Chapter 3 with the theory on CAPM and SML and the stewpit characteristic line....think i will have to work on it when I sneaked off early from work...
Anyway, had an interesting conversation with Sab on MSN yesterday or should i say this morning... really boosted my confidence for a while talking to her... made me felt that there is still some things that i should look forward to and stop succumbing to myself... Will try hard...
That was yesterday... Today, it was work @ 9am again and lunch at 12.30pm... however there are some things rather interesting to talk about... Was chit chatting with my colleagues about russell peters and his jokes about the south african casino that he visited when the issue about Singapore building a casino came about.. good or bad? Well.. I am against it despite the economic returns that we might be getting as I feel that it will just cause more societal problems and more sucide cases like the one we heard on the news.... I mean having the bayside cove with more water activities to attract tourists would be good enough, why the need to build a casino? I don't believe anything that I've learn about increasing economic revenue and tourist visitation via building a casino.. I am strongly against it. Anybody will have to convince me with hard facts to support it...
This discussion lead to a massive arguement between a colleague and me. As I have stated that the societal problems that might occur, she even though stating that she is sitting on the hedge, rebutted me about the economic effects about the casino might have on singapore, that singaporeans are too protected and people who talk against the policies and decision made by the the government only do the talk but don't do the walk... This really pissed me off cuz whatever reasons she is putting up are so lame!!! She can say she is not taking sides but she is rebutting me... if she is not taking sides, she shouldn't have any opinion about having or not having a casino in the first place... and she happily can give examples that singapore should follow macau and holland's foot steps... for starters, macau ain't like singapore, pace of life are completely different, Singapore's GDP does not stem from gambling.... holland's crime rate and law are also different from singapore so where is the sense in talking about holland's coffee shop having drugs there... For goodness sake and for argument sake, a 30 yr like her should have better sense.... I mean she is so stubborn and full of bull!!! really can't stand her telling me,"You should learn more about economic policies and travel around the world." Maybe You are right, I haven't seen much of the world to make a comment but you too...
*takes in a deep breath*
THink I feel much better already.... GOing back to my work....
J'amore mon cherie
