it is a matter of time before sg implements some form of 'protectionism' for the locals, just as a means to make us, the indigenous feel better. How else would you make your own people feel the sense of belonging, and the sense of respect. because i seriously think the so-called foreign talent has none for us. they have respect for the same thing we have: money, or by proxy, power. and you have to be realistic and know that your own people may not make it to the top all the time. can you imagine how it would feel when you are scorned by the 'outsiders'. it will suck.

i woke up in a slight shock today, at around 8am. i thought i was late for something, and realised that it is not sunday-no db, it is not a weekday-no work. then i went back to sleep happily. mahjong was pretty relaxing, a nice chill-out afternoon, with A LOT of eating. after that it was more food for cp's bday dinner. i am still feeling full. probably don't need any breakfast tmr.

I have my written goals for Jul 2009. This is what I want to happen:
Goals for GLMT in Jul 2009
1. ... ...
2. To be doing a part-time/full-time post-grad course
3. To be more confident, & to appear more confident by others
4. To be a strong character & leader who is respected by others

I have it on paper, online will be good to keep reflection on this as well.
