women's right? my foot!

Are men really losing it in today's society? After reading a blog entry by my dear sis (men-are-losing-it), I can't help but wonder why women are still complaining about their equality.

Women are climbing up the corporate ladder by leaps and bounds. This is especially with the liberisation of the Women's Right movement. In Singapore, we are also not against with such a liberal movement. Take my current work place for eg. Out of the 17 in my department, only 4 are guys. Not that I'm complaining. The females in my department often provides with the much needed relief from a hectic work via avenues such as gossiping. I also learn a great deal of women and their bodily functions via their daily conversations. In a world used to be dominated by men, the valuation sector is now infested by women, literally.

Women are also climbing up the politial sector, abeilt slower in our local context. But everything is still based on merits and choices. Women are not really expected to put their family in the first place (as evident by the many working mums in my department). Now now, not women are not the only ones who is achieving eauality. Men has grown softer now (also termed as SNAG) and partake in the domestic affairs as well.

The only problem now: Women still have that same old fashion mentality of wanting a husband who is able to provide for them, at the same time be romantic, and contribute (if not dominate) to the household chores and affairs. Singaporean men are not so bad. True, they have grown much softer compared to those MCP days of the 70s. But they have become more reasonable and caring. What is with women these days of not wanting a husband who crave for stability, both in their career and relationship?

I believe the so called 'hi' standards of the Singaporean women is due to unrealistic expectations and the years of equality surpression in the past few decades. It's almost like they wanted revenge and are playing catch up. At the same time, they can't ditch their olden days mentality of a perfect husband. At the end of the day, only those who can't adapt will be sideline. That will also include those seeking relationships.

true blue yuppy??

Last friday, I had a drinking session with my new colleagues. Honestly, I think it was one of the most memorable drinking sessions I've ever had. The relationship so far has been really fantastic (think classmate gathering but at a slightly more sophisticated manner).

The drinking session took us to all the road trips and ghost stories of the life of a valuer. With either redwine, beer or non-alcoholic drinks in our hands, we immersed ourselves into a frenzy of laughters and insightfulness conversations.

Can't wait for the nex gathering (almost once per month)..

tiring yet satisfying

1 month into my new job.. .. it's more hectic than my old one... .. but feels more fulfilling at the same time. For the 1st time, I actually felt that I was working. When I received my first paycheck, I felt that I've earned it fair and square. Well, maybe not truely deserving at the moment cos i'm still a rockie (a term used to describe me by my previous job smacked in front of my face..) My faithful blog readers would have realised that my blog entries have plummeted in quantity. I've even started to do OTs nowadays, abeilt not serious work into the nite yet.

Perks of my current job: Even though I wont get to fly anywhere and earn those precious Krisflyer points, I get to wake up late on certain days due to the inspection timings.... sometimes I get to knock off early due to the location and time of the inspections... The drawback: reports will be piling up when I do the inspections... I guess I will have to burn my sat very soon.
