Xiaxue is Evil

Xiaxue is Evil... 
I'm not even talking about her spats with other bloggers or any other person who has crossed her... (yes, I do read her blog from time to time)
I'm talking about something even more personal!
If you have wife/girlfriend/partner reading her blog.. be careful!
You know.. like how the devil holds sway over some people?...


Why do I say that?


Some time last week...
Out of the blue....
Wifey dropped me a SMS which read:




"Baby... I need to talk to you tonight!"


Thoughts that came to my mind?

Legend of the Seas Review - My Royal Caribbean Cruise Adventure

As you should know by now... Wifey and I were selected to tour Legend of the Seas from Royal Caribbean International through Omy
(from my earlier entry My Royal Caribbean Cruise Adventure - Behind the scenes)


As I was brain storming about what to write for this entry...
(Check out Wifey's Post on it at http://barefootgirldaynight.blogspot.com/)
I decided to ask a few people...






What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a cruise vacation?

The husband leaving the wife for another MAN!!!!






I think... Wifey was beginning to worry about me...
Probably asking herself....


"Is my husband gay?"


and the shocking thing is...
I don't blame her for doing that!!


Why?

Pirated CD Peddlers making a comeback?

Recently I had an evening appointment near my place at Bukit Panjang Plaza..
As I was walking to the coffee place to meet my client...
I walked past the "square".. the big open place where they usually have sales or events...

As I was walking passed the area... something caught my eye...
There was this sad-looking booth...
With a table.. and CDs on them...
Like how in the past in some corners you will see a guy peddling pirated CDs with a look-out nearby...

My first thought was... "Pirated CDs in a shopping center?!... are pirated CD peddlers making a comeback?"



Of course I don't think they were really selling pirated CDs.. 
As I was rushing for my appointment.. I couldn't check them out and satisfy my curiosity.. I thought.. maybe after my appointment...



Then the next thought that came to my mind...

Importance of Medical Insurance!

One reason that people give for holding off the purchase of private Shield plans is the belief that they are adequately covered by their employers.


That is a very short-sighted view unless the insurance is portable, said financial experts.

> Medical Plan can be paid through CPF?
>What is deductibles?
> What is co-insurance?
> If my company provides me with insurance, is that enough?

For answers to these questions and more...
