How much are you earning?

"Hey, how much are you earning ah??"

Have you ever been asked such questions? How did you react?

I have been asked similar questions either directly or indirectly before.. and I have never given them any straight answer, well except if I was in a job interview.

I don't understand why some people are so obsessed with how much others are earning? Is it to know their market rate, or is it just to feel more superior when knowing they are earning higher than everyone else? If that is the case, maybe that's why I don't want to ask such questions fearing I will end up feeling down instead.

I will console myself that higher salary usually comes with higher stress. I know.... sour grape ;-p

Fashion Show at Midvalley

Managed to catch Bonia's Fashion Show at Midvalley yesterday when I was there to get my haircut. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me, so had to make do with my phone's 2MP camera.

Anyway, when you guys watch a fashion show at a mall or something, do you really look at the clothes... or at the models?? For me, I think I concentrate more on the latter.

No "ta pao"

After almost everyday of "ta pao" lunch for the past 2 weeks due to heavy work load, we finally got to go out to a simple but nice little restaurant in SS20 yesterday. This restaurant is apparently famous for its Fish Head Noodle.

There were quite some options for fish head noodles that you can order... but I could only remember A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 at the moment. Yeah..these are the codes for each variety.

I ordered the one with "lai fun" instead of the usual "bee hoon". I think the code was B2. ;-p

I am not a fish person... when comes to eating them. I don't really fancy eating fish but I have to say the fish meat that I tasted was rather good. No muddy or fishy taste. The meat wasn't soggy or too soft. I would prefer they put more milk into it though.. but still I enjoyed my meal.

I guess the most wonderful thing of all was that we got to eat out of the office for a change. We joked, gossipped and made fun of each other. That really helped me to forget about the stress even though it's just for a little while. Good food, good lunch partners... no reason why I shouldn't feel rejuvenated after that.
