The 7 Wonders of Singapore

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

Yes, there’s all the talk about the new Seven Wonders of the World, and Straits Times just had to localise the issue and conduct a survey about the 7 Wonders of S’pore. Here’s mine:

  1. I wonder when I’ll strike Toto New Year Hongbao Draw.
  2. I wonder when I’ll strike 4D first prize.
  3. (Entrepreneur) I wonder when my business will stabilise and start being profitable / (Employee) I wonder how stable this job is.
  4. (Entrepreneur) I wonder how much bonus I can afford to issue / (Employee) I wonder how much bonus I’ll get this year.
  5. (Singles) I wonder when I’ll meet the right guy or girl / (Married) I wonder when I’ll have my first kid and what kind of parent will I be.
  6. (Parents) I wonder how well my children will grow / (Children) I wonder when my parents will start giving me the freedom I want.
  7. I wonder when figures will stop being inflated and life will actually be better for those who earn a livelihood that does not involve the government.

That’s my idea of the 7 wonders of the general population. There’ll probably be a few strayers, especially those who don’t invest in lottery and those who are married but do not plan to have children. There are also those who have a good job in a good firm, but do take note of what the average wage is and you’ll know that perhaps a large proportion of the population does not enjoy such good wages.

What an ordeal…

Well, something has happened over the last week that bugged me a little. I wasn’t annoyed or anything, just disappointed that such “educated” people exist.

My verdict is this: Steer clear of this “experienced” insurance adviser. Lilian Chia, 9382 7583, email lchia3@pacific.net.sg. And this is how she looks like. If you’re a customer of hers, time to re-evaluate your options. The moment you pull out your policies, see how she responds.

Those who want to read more, click here. I don’t intend to double-post. Anyway, read the whole thread, check out those external links posted in a thread on the second page. I definitely hit the jackpot to have come across this type of person.

For all I know, she’s thinking the same thing about me. Hah. Well, according to her, I should wear a skirt.
