For IT Working People

Some points to note for the IT Working people in Singapore
(1) People who code, administer or test will not survive. If you write/fix any kind of code or scripts or do any kind of testing at least once a day your job is in danger.

(2) People who are unable to create something from nothing will not survive. If you need a well-defined set of requirements and design before you can do your work, your job is in danger. If you need someone else to take some vague problem from the customer/boss and come up with a solution that you can implement, your job is in danger. If, however, you invent solutions, you will be fine.

(3) People with inability to solve problems will not survive. This goes to general smartness/intelligence. If you are the kind who can use a cool-head and solve most of problems (job-related or not) through a combination of steps such as keeping a cool head, knowing what to do, who to approach etc, you will be fine. Many problems are tough but you would be surprised to see many people give up before they even take a stab at the easy ones. As an example: Here is a problem given to you by a customer: "Size the work effort that you personally will require to install DB2 on my AS400 box" Bad answer: We are a C++ coding shop. We dont do DB2 admin. We dont know how to size this.Good answer: 6 months (cuz we have to learn all the **** first)

(4) People who will survive are those who can talk to customers to elicit business requirements, design tecnhnical solutions and coordinate project activities - not people who know how to change a config file to get Linux to play mp3 files.

(5) Good-looking people who can talk with management and customers in a confident non-geeky way in perfect English will survive.

(6) If you can relate well with people and can get them to do favors for you, you will survive. If you are the type of person who ends up leading meetings and discussions, you will survive.

(7) If your job is in IT but deals with some kind of calculation involving dollars at least once a day, you will survive.

MSN Hotmail

People had been circulating this email message around to all hotmail users. First of all, I think this is totally scam ! Look at it. There is spelling mistake and I think Microsoft wouldn’t be asking people to send such dumb messages among all users to notify them of closing their hotmail accounts. This is basically an idea of a spammer who wants to collect email address from as many people as possible so as to carry on their illegal stuffs. Can't imagine why hotmail users didn't think of the purpose of this before sending it out.

Government to give out S$256m more in benefits to Singaporeans

The average Singapore household will receive an extra S$250 to S$330 following the additional support package announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the National Day Rally on Sunday night.

This is on top of the benefits they are already receiving to help them cope with inflation and higher living costs.

Details of the additional support package were released by the Ministry of Finance on Monday.
The enhancements comprise a 50 per cent increase in the remaining instalment of Growth Dividends which is scheduled for payout on October 1, as well as a 50 per cent increase in Utilities—Save (U—Save) rebates given out.

Lower and middle—income groups, as well as senior citizens, can expect more in Growth Dividends.

For example, a person living in a one, two, or three room flat who received S$200 in the first round of payout will receive S$300 in October.

Overall, most Singaporeans living in public housing households will receive between S$75 and S$150 more as a result of the enhancement.

The enhanced Growth Dividends will cost the government an additional S$190 million.
As for the increase in Utilities—Save or U—Save rebates, this will range from an additional S$40 to S$110 depending on the HDB flat size.

A low—income family with elderly members living in a three—room flat could receive an additional S$500, bringing their total benefits this year to over S$5,400.
A typical middle—income family living in a five—room HDB flat could receive benefits of about S$3,880.
These additional U—Save rebates will cost the government S$66 million.
Altogether, the government will be distributing an additional support package amounting to S$256 million.
More details are available on the Ministry of Finance’s website.

Marks & Spencer and My Toy Car

Bought the above Organic biscuits for my mum and my friend respectively.

Bought this toy car for myself. Want to find bigger and the model that I want, but the salesgirl said that Tomy didn't provide stock for Isetan to sell. So too bad, bought this instead, as I like Mitsubishi Lancer Cars. :-)
