Will your wages rise by 6-7%?

Otherwise you’ll technically be earning less than the previous year… Check out the latest release from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and take note of the inflation rates

Maybe you might even consider yourself lucky if you hold on to your job, especially with recession looming and 2009 predicted to be a down year. Hold your cash and keep your belts tightened!

The woman with the face mask

Just saw someone walk by wearing a face mask. Think that’s actually quite considerate of her as it minimises infection and contamination.

On the same note, perhaps a special bell helmet can be created for smokers so that pollutants and carcinogens can be self-contained. Think everyone will be happy with this arrangement as non-smokers will get to enjoy fresh air (somewhat fresh air… something has to be done about vehicles…) while smokers will be able to smoke anytime and anywhere they want.
