Economic downturn

Economic downturn, upside down, inside out, retrenchment or recession? Yes, it's for real. Scary, very scary. There are about 6 t0 7 pages of articles on the Sunday Times today. Guess most of us won't feel it right now for our companies are doing well this year. Moreover, this is just the beginning with DBS Bank retrenching a few hundred staff.
Good times or bad times, the show must go on. Those taking their GCE 'A' or 'O' level are finishing or have finished their examinations. It's time to celebrate. Gosh, Prom Night. Guess these kids would throw their school uniforms away and dress their best. Fyn is no exception. Let the PARTEE begins.........


Christmas is slightly more than a month away. Years back, we would have to start shopping for Christmas presents (toys) for my children and their cousins. Now that they have grown up and in their late teenage age, me and Margaret do not know what to get for them anymore. Even getting them clothings as presents is a headache. They may find the cutting and design weird or obsolete for we don't have the 'yo, yo!' generation taste. We were so embarrassed when one of them came to us and said the clothing we bought was undersized. It's beyond my imagination for a 14 year old kid to wear a XL T-shirt. Yo, yo... you rock..man....
And now for the solution, give them departmental voucher and they shop themselves. I believe most of them would prefer cash... as in Chinese New Year 'ang pows'. LOL.
