Merry Christmas
I still remember the fairy tale my mum told me while I was a kid ~ hang the sock near the window during Christmas eve, Santa Claus will put your Christmas gift in the sock if you're obedient throughout the year. I think I'm pretty obedient for this whole year, so...
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! =)

Tissue Paper $1 for 3
"Sir, do you want to buy tissue paper?"... I was shocked by the approached not because of this incident as it happens around us almost everyday, it was a lady at late 30's who was trying to sell the packaged tissue paper to me while I was on my way back home after my weeekend "househusband" shopping. I can feel she is so desperate to sell her tissue paper, but still, i rejected her...
During this economic difficult time, it seems getting more and more disable, senior citizen even middle age guy walking around the hawker center, food court, bus interchange to sell the packaged tissue paper. Putting the legal issue aside, I think that just a way of making a living, it's a willing buyer & seller situation. However, it will gradually become a social problem when it's out of control.
Selling tissue paper can be consider as a "retail business" with a minimal cost, no rental & license fee are required. You just buy the cheap tissue paper from the hypermarket or grocery as your initial cost, the price different with your selling price is your margin. It sounds simple, but it's a kind of hard selling strategy and strong competition within this "industry". There are numerous tissue paper seller in a hawker center especially in the peak period. It won't be easy to sell when public are so well trained to reject the approach.
I fell pain everytime I saw the ah ma, ah gong walking around the crowd to sell their tissue paper, some are standing whole day long in the interchange and hope for the better sales. It's such a satire on the current society when seeing ah ma trying their hard sell while the young generation are having thier big feast. Even though the government is trying hard to improve the benefit and life of the older generation, the extend is not comprehensive enough to cover all the people who really need our help.

Exam Over
Exam is finally over... It was my nightmare by going through all the reading and calulation during the exam preparation. The volumn I've read over the past 2 months is definitely exceed what I've read since out from school. It was extremely difficult for me to pick up the momentum and concentrate in reading the heavy and bulky text book after so many years, and it took me more than 2 weeks to get into the momentum.
Library was my 3rd home in the last 2 months, I can even recognise the faces in the library who were there everyday and left on same timing. There are so many activities in the library besides reading, a 50's uncle with a mini laptop camping in the library daily 9am till 5pm just to trade stock market, at 5pm he will take out a small piece of paper to record his archievement for the day and wrap his laptop in a plastic bag and leave about 515pm. Uncle no.2, who always come with big NTUC plastic bag, inside got a big transparent plastic bag with water, the same piece of magazine (to hold the water bag which put on table) and newspaper (to put on his chair), he will just bite a hole on the water bag and suck the water then tighten it back to avoid leaking. There are also any uncle aunties camping in the library for the whole after reading the newspaper, magazine, sleeping, stone-ing...
Anyway, I need much more lucky on my side to create a miracle by passing my exam. Wish me good luck.
