Of scummy man, 'bouncers' and ntuc fairprice.

will complete the post later tonight.

*old man was too tired to update his blog yesterday, im growing old! yay!*

so here goes, went for lunch with sherlyn, gina, hw, ch, yh, vin and angtao at Mad Jack's, that was the 3rd time we ate there even though the food sucks.

we had an interesting debate over lunch, ch in one corner vs almost the rest of us. because hw was smart enough not to engage in any sort of conversation with ch. ch told of his encounter with 2 burly men in suits and wearing shades ala security contractors. and he saw these two men outside a place of worship and to add on to that, they had their arms folded. so he decided to call these two men 'bouncers'.

then he went on to sprout nonsense and says that the people inside were partying inside which was rather insensitive ;). apart from that i mostly agree with what ch said. then he went on to talk about religion and hyprocisy. i find that it rather interesting.



that brings me to this point, lets say that if you were to hire a worker, which of these 2 would you choose?

person A is a dilligent worker who will do as he is told and is robot-like

person B isn't really the hardworking sort but is non-conformist and does things in an unorthodox way



somebody told me that i should tell the smokers in the class to quit smoking. in the 2nd last chapter of The Tipping Point is a study done on smoking and smokers psychology. i have forgotten most parts of it, but i shall summarise.

'eh dun smoke la, its not good for your health u noe'

have you tell a smoker that before, i think most of you did. well some of you told me that before too right? so do you think that smokers is unaware of the health risks that comes with the habit. everybody knows the health risks but why do smokers still smoke? the price of cigarettes increased drastically over the years.

when i first started smoking, a 20sticks pack of marlboro cost me $4.50, the price now is over $11. why do people still smoke? im gonna thrash some group of people but doing that may land me into trouble.

ok the moral of the story is, to help someone quit smoking is not to ask him/her to quit smoking but just to let it be.

*the smoking post isn't making any sense, i'll edit it later on when i re read some parts of the book*


and lastly, i'll end with a question. why smokers don't grow old?

i'll answer it in the next post.
