Positive

Be positive even if you know the sky is falling.

The End

Its been a month since I visited this.

Couple Lab

Ironman is good.

Zouk is great.

Guess I'm writing retrospectively.

We saw a shop named couple lab. She asked what does that place sell?
And I said a place for couples to experiment.

Interesting.

The Engineers

Seems like nobody wants to be an engineer no more. In Japan at least.


"But according to educators, executives and young Japanese themselves, the young here are behaving more like Americans: choosing better-paying fields like finance and medicine, or more purely creative careers, like the arts, rather than following their salaryman fathers into the unglamorous world of manufacturing."


I guess the baby boomers and Gen-X folks might still think engineers as one of the better careers. You know, like the reason why my mommy and daddy told me to be a doctor or engineer when I was a kid.

But Gen-Y people are more towards glamorous jobs like investment bankers, stock analysts, derivative traders or whatever trader blah blah.

As long as you are in places like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Barclays or all those damn big banks, you are the elite.

Forget about the subprime crap. Write-offs and losses and all those shats but still the people inside are getting fat bonuses.

That's where all the monies are.

Nobody wants to slog in a factory wearing plain a t-shirt and jeans. So uncool.
Bankers dress to kill.

I guess Japanese kids these days have got American mentality too.

In the days to come, China and India might be full of factories.
I mean really sardine packed with.
Some other third world countries too.
Very attractive low cost centres for the MNCs.

They might call it the centre of excellence.
But still, we all know they meant low cost instead.

Yeah I know it felt like crap to know that you are a low cost worker.

The Spa

Went for some spa. Think the correct definition is water treatment or something like that.

Really need to bare quite a bit. Almost everything I think.

Don't ask about the price.
'cos we went to those higher end outlet.
Expensive in other words.

Got some bubble bath. Floral milky bath to be precise.

Aromatherapy full body massage.

Don't want to opt for body scrub though.

And don't quite have the time to describe in a more sensual way.
So that's about all.
