most may not have.Originally posted by honeymouse:What happen to their children, if they have any? Even if they don't want the parents to stay with them, I don't think it's that expensive to feed them, is it?
and even those who do and have good relations with them, their children may not be doing that well either with their own children and the high costs of living in sg -
Originally posted by av98m:You know, its fucking depressing at times.
I eat at food courts, hawker centres, practically all those clearing plates/cleaning up are elderly folk, some of whom are frail and hunched.
I go public toilets, same thing. Elderly folks.
I go fast food restaurants, same thing. Mostly elderly folks.
I walk around, elderly folks selling tissue, begging, rummaging rubbish bins for empty drink cans.
I don't know what to think, really.
I just buy tissue from them, pay them a dollar and take one pack. If they're handicapped as well, then pay 2 dollars.
Good morning.

got a few cleaners at my office who are working because their families really need the money... they're okay and cheerful but if you're 66, won't you prefer to be with your grandchildren or at leisure?
there are a few at the hawker centre who collect cans.. i've seen one with a spastic adult in tow before... probably her child..
makes me think back to a time where my organisation's then-no.1 was waxing lyrical about "helicopter vision" and how people "must have that" and blah blah in one of his usual "meetings" where we swear he's holding because he's lonely and wants people to "listen to him"
he asked for comments... and there i was, barely 2 years in service, tore his "helicopter vision" delusion apart... saying that those who have this type of vision, see people as little dots moving around.. and from their helicopter, they are detached and do not see what makes up the little dots... if the little dots suffer, what the little dots are.. and after a while, from their helicopter, the little dots stop being human beings and are nothing but statistics...
then i said that we have to get our heads out of the clouds, get back to earth and see, know and experience what is actually going on... instead of treating people like some kind of "Sim City" type game..
he wasn't happy...
i've advocated this: make the mini-stars live 2 months out of each year of their lives like Joe Average and Jane Ordinary... because goodness knows they've lost touch with reality and are insulating themselves even more with their insane payrise.. and who knows? they may be running away from reality...Originally posted by honeymouse:What happen to their children, if they have any?

does that mean int he 2 months we can punch and kick them with impunity?Originally posted by the Bear:got a few cleaners at my office who are working because their families really need the money... they're okay and cheerful but if you're 66, won't you prefer to be with your grandchildren or at leisure?

I went to MIL's home for dinner last night and while inside the lift, I overheard an old woman telling a neighbour (in an unhappy tone) that someone's son sold off his parent's flat and put the parent in an old folks' home.Originally posted by honeymouse:What happen to their children, if they have any?

and the sociopath speaks his twisted mind..
i wager after 2 days, the "elite" would be found curled up in the corner of a 4-room HDB flat in his own excrement mumbling incoherently, drooling and with a 1000mile stare...Originally posted by hisoka:does that mean int he 2 months we can punch and kick them with impunity? -
And the argument by the higher-ups against getting their heads out of the clouds...is that it will affect their 'objectivity', and become emotionally involved.Originally posted by the Bear:he asked for comments... and there i was, barely 2 years in service, tore his "helicopter vision" delusion apart... saying that those who have this type of vision, see people as little dots moving around.. and from their helicopter, they are detached and do not see what makes up the little dots... if the little dots suffer, what the little dots are.. and after a while, from their helicopter, the little dots stop being human beings and are nothing but statistics...

How heartless?Originally posted by Wanda:I went to MIL's home for dinner last night and while inside the lift, I overheard an old woman telling a neighbour (in an unhappy tone) that someone's son sold off his parent's flat and put the parent in an old folks' home. 
Anyway, I think it's time to educate the elderlies with children not to let their children take over the flat so early. They should just leave a legal will and then distributed by the nominated member to distribute their wealth based on the legal will after they are dead. -
you don't want to?Originally posted by the Bear:and the sociopath speaks his twisted mind..

there is nothing emotional about knowing that when someone you are duty-bound to look after needs help, you render help...
it is pure objectivity, isn't it?
emotional would be when someone needs help, and you hate him, you don't help..
somehow, i thought about thisOriginally posted by av98m:And the argument by the higher-ups against getting their heads out of the clouds...is that it will affect their 'objectivity', and become emotionally involved.

they'll tell u, this people are not contributing to the economy now, therefore they're not paying for my salary. so what should i help them?Originally posted by av98m:And the argument by the higher-ups against getting their heads out of the clouds...is that it will affect their 'objectivity', and become emotionally involved.

just that they'll put it in a nicer way. -
its scary
people got the heart to sell off their parents flat and make them stay in old folks home
and its not insignificant few
you hear it everywhere u go
scary -

yeah.. an uppercut = a punch starting from low, rising upwards to connect with the chin.. quite devastating as it causes a whiplash effectOriginally posted by Wanda:In other news, who wants an uppercut? I was thinking an uppercut means something else in kickboxing class.

I had a tutor when I was young
She is a really nice lady
Same age as my grandma
But used to be a math teacher in a school
Her husband died during WWII and she raised her children singlehandedly and they are all successful
1's a doctor, other's a lawyer
They refused to allow her to stay with them and she lived alone in a little house with her friend
When her friend died, her children still refused to let her live with them and put her in an old folks home
No idea which old folks home she is in too
I used to visit her every CNY till she was put in a home
So... elites? So what? -
The story of that *#$&*# GP who tossed his own mother out still makes my blood boil whenever I think about it.Originally posted by laurence82:its scary

and its not insignificant few
you hear it everywhere u go
scary
His wife ain't any better - looking down on her mother-in-law just because she works as a cleaner. If anything, that was one of the reasons why that ass of a GP tossed his own mother out - because of embarassment. -
My father-in-law is 70 this year and he's still working. He's supposed to be semi-retired....Originally posted by the Bear:but if you're 66, won't you prefer to be with your grandchildren or at leisure?
Anyway, may be because he has no grandchildren yet....

Anyway, I've just reached the library and finished setting my stuff up.
Time to get down to revision.

ahh uppercut, one of my fav moves from my muay thai class. the most devastating punch, but quite hard to pull it off in combat..
but i wun hesitate to give one to those elites.. even future elites.. -
That's why I say, those who think that having children means you will be taken care of in your old age, might be in for a rude suprise if they do not have a plan b.Originally posted by elindra:I had a tutor when I was young

My plan b is already in place, so even if the unthinkable happens and I have kids, I will not need a cent from them. (and no way in hell i'm selling or giving my house to them until I'm 6 feet under!) -
