SACEOS stand for Singapore Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers.
Beginning of January 08, I took up the short course organised by the Association, under the sponsorship of WSQ, Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications. The full course name is WSQ Professional Exhibition Management Programme - Co-ordinate Support Services. This course has 4 modules. Each modules conducted from morning 9am to 6pm in 3 consecutive days. I took the 4th modules and it was the first of the 4 modules. We always dismissed at around 4pm, I still have time rush back to work until 8pm.
They offer tea breaks with light refreshment during the 3 days training. After the course, we are obliged to work in the field for minimum 6 months.
Today, we supposed to pass up the assignment. Then, I encounter some problem in printing out the 19 pages of assignment I have completed. I called the Executive who manage our course, and ask for help. I want to email the assignment to him, so that he can print out for me at his office.
I have been using "openoffice org2.2" to replace microsoft word to do the home work. Frankly, this free software is not very useful, because it can't get the Epson printer print out the pages like microsoft word. Last time, when I write my resume using this software, most of the recruitment agency and the job.com specifically want the application to be sent only in microsoft word format. Today, I have the 3rd problem. The Executive in SACEOS office can't open the file in odt format.
I am quite panic, what should I do? The Executive asked me to download pdf995, a free ware, and save the file using print to "pdf" format. The whole assignment is saved under .pdf format. He is able to retrieve under the "pdf" format and print out the file accordingly. Thank you to him and the great software. The "pdf995" simply convert the file accordingly. The software is very easy to use and useful. It is not like "notepad" or "wordpad" that unable to retain the original format you created, eg the dot will be gone. "pdf995" will keep every things we originally created. Doesn't it sound great.

Child care teacher
Today I chatted with an Indian lady, she is working in shipping company's Accounts Dept. She said nowadays, most people don't do things they like. She hates accounting, but for earning additional income for children's tuition, she continues working in this line. Six years ago, she wanted to get out of accounting line, so she asked the company to let her work as part time with the company. She took up an part time course on Child Philosophy. If the course was on morning session, she worked in the afternoon and via versa. She took both private course as well as Government recognised course, so that she can work in the Government related school or childcare centre.
She spent almost S$4000++ attending the private course and paid about S$1000++ from the Government subsidised course. The subsidised course requires her to complete 44 hours practical. She tried to work as part time child care teacher after completion of the course. She worked in the child care centre that take care of the 1-3 years old kids, she said she found it is a tough job as well. She needs to change pampers for children, carry them when they cry, feed them food, pat them to sleep, when the children got sick, she was sick too. Imagine her own kids has the maid to handle all these. But it is easier to find job for taking care of the small children, it is hard to get job for taking care of the older children because the teacher for taking care the older child tends to stay on the job. While the resignation rate for taking care of toddle is higher, hence, more job vancancy in these capacity. After she has worked for six months, she quite the child care line and return to the accountancy line. She said it is not easy to get a part time job, hence she has to stay on the accountancy line for full time now and she is still looking for part time job or somethings that interest her.

K.C.Dart
K.C.Dart is a freight forwarding company. They do air and freight. They accept booking for air and sea freight, clearance and etc. I didn't know they do much more...............
My expatriate customer chit chat with me when I do Padicure. They are expatriates relocated in Singapore from Australia, their origin is Germany. K.C. Dart is the company that assist them to move all their favorite furniture from Australia. K.C.Dart has a public relationship dept, their company has people who can speak German, French, India, Japanese, Spainish, Russian and etc.
They will give the expatriate customers a booklet that list down all the important telephone/address in Singapore, including shopping centre, hospital, medical centre, massage centre, tuition centre, any thing you can think of the expatriate might need. The customers are free to consult anythings with K.C.Dart in their original mother tongue. K.C.Dart organises talks, seminar, city tour and morning breakfast session for their expatriate customers, so they can immediate acquire new friends during these meeting. They give out free massage voucher to the customer. (of course, they will experience the hassle of selling and pushing them the package after the free message, nothing is free in this world!) They only charge all those session a token ie S$15/-. But I tell you, as the result, the customer will strongly recommend their services to any one who want the same services, any one, do you think so?
Do you see how the new world now can survive in the servicing line? They give value added services. They must think out of the box. They can not just think 'I am a forwarder' or 'transporter', I only do forwarding. The business world are more complex than this now.

Hike in Gasoline
Today I place order for the gasoline for cooking. I was shocked that the price went up so much, it used to be at S$24/- for 12.5kg, yesterday the price is S$33/- for 12.5kg, or S$37 /- for S$14.5kg.
Hawker has increased their price due to raising cost of rental and raw materials. So, some smart one would suggest "want to save money, cook at home la!" Now it seems like even you cook at home is not cheap anymore.
God, help............................. Money, more Money come...............................

A true friend - MM Lee flies to Jakarta to visit Suharto in hospital
I felt so touch when I hear what MM Lee recounted the former Indonesian presiden Suharto's contribution to Indonesia.
Mr Lee said:"There are very few people of his age and my age who can remember the past. If they remember the past, they will kow that in the 1960's , Indonesia was in very dire economic difficulties, mired in hyperinflation.
In 1965, he acted decisively. He saved Indonesia from further going down that slippery road. From 1967, when he became president, right up to 1997, the economy grew and Indonesia was on the point of taking off.
The Fact this had failed to happen should not be blamed on Mr Suharto. Recalling tumultuous events of 1997, Bank Indonesia had interest rates too high then, so companies borrowed in US dollars for low interest rates.
And then when confidence was lost after the Thai baht crisis, people wanted to pull their money out, and the whole thing collapsed.
It was not his fault. Yes, there was corruption. Yes, he gave favours to his family and his friends. But there was real growth, real progress.
Indonesia were lucky to have had Mr Suharto, a general, at the helm, and drew comparisons with Myanmar. Both countries experienced mulitary coups in the 1960s - Indonesia in 1965 and Myanmar in 1962 - and were subsequently led by generals.
But while Mr Suharto had picked a team of competent administrations, including a very good team of competent administrators, including a very good team of economists, to build up Indonesia, Myanmar's General Ne Win "did it his own way" and looked to socialism.
If Suharto had been like Nu Win or like the president generals, Indonesia would be like Burma. But it is not. Ten years after the financial crisis, the economy is steadying, growth rate is returning. (Burma is the former name of Myanmar)
Just compare Indonesia to Burma, Look, same time, 1962 Ne Win, 1965 Suharto, both well -endowed and rich countries. Well, you compare. Who is better off? Who deserves to be honoured? What is a few billion dollars lost in bad excesses? He built hundred of billions of dollars worth of assets."
Mr Lee stressed that much credit should go to Mr Suharto for what he had done for Indonesia and the region. "He gave Indonesia progress and development. He educated the population. He built roads and infrastructure. And from Sukarno's Konfrontasi and other foreign policy excesses, he stabilised international relations.
Mr Suharto cooperated with Asean, allowing for the emergence of a stable South-east Asia today. The younger generation, both in Indonesia and the world, do not remember where Indonesia started from. I do. That is why I came here to visit him," said the Minister Montor.
"I want to pay this tribut to him, and I came here. It is sad to see a very old friend, with whom I worked closely over the last 30 years, not really getting the honours that he deserves."

Will you marry him?
My friend is going to attend a wedding dinner on Sunday. She said the bride has two made to order wedding grown, which cost six thousands and eight thousands respectively. The groom gives his wife a fifteen thousands dollars diamond ring. Their wedding dinner is held at Shangrila Hotel. All this sound like a perfect wedding right? The dream come true for the young lady! My friend said if she is the young lady, she would not want to carry on the marriage becasue this man who work as remiser has owed the bank Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars. Can you imagine the interest incurring every month with the Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars. Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars is equivalent to a private apartment in Singapore.
So, young lady, you must open your eyes to see what happen before you accept the lavish marriage proposal.

Not meant to be "Joke"
Last Sunday, our paster share with us 2 very interesting stories, I don't realise how the stories related to the topic "Spiritual blessing from God, our Father". But I find the stories very interesting.
The man was accused manslaughter by the police, but there was one problem, the police could not find the body of the dead man. The man's lawyer work diligently wanting to help him clear the accusation. He said to the court, "Now, every one of you please turn back and look at the entrance, I said the man is still alive, the moment we open this door, you will see this man walking in to this court." So, every one in this court turn their back curiously and expecting the "dead man" appeared at the door, and walking in to the court room. But, it did not happen, the lawyer argued that, "See, we have no proof that this man has dead, and we all believed that this man is still alive, so my client is not guilty." After that, the juries came back from their discussion and announces their judgement. They concluded that the man is "gulty". The lawyer was very shocked and asked the juries, why? The jury replied, "Look, everyone in the court room believed that this man is still alive, but this man did not turn his head and look at the entrance, because he did not believed that the dead man is still alive, because he knew that he did not."
##################################################################
This man always called his wife "honey", "sweet heart", "pumkin", "dear", "daring", "pussy cat".......................................... The paster felt very amazing, he thought this man must be in love with his wife so much that they are so intimate even in the public. The paster decided to ask this man how he manages to keep the relationship in such a loving way. This man revealed the true, he said, "Paster, please do not tell any one about it, because few months ago, I have forgotten my wife's name......................................."

"Oversea Begger"
Singapore is a nice place to stay, and most people love to stay here no matter what cost to pay. This China woman brought her daughter along and become begger in Singapore street. That is what she wrote : "I have not yet an PR, hence, I can not get a job, please help my daughter and I. Thank you."
One thing she did not know, "Begging" in street is illegal in Singapore. If she is caught, she will be fined, or most likely she will be sent back to where she come from.
Most people love Singapore's strict rule and regulation, and the ability to implement the necessary to safeguard our nation. Imagine if the woman succeed living in Singapore by professional begging, other weman will think that this is a new way of living in Singapore. You will see more weman carrying their child and be begger in the street of Singapore. The worst scenario is that the bad man will force more woman to the street to be begger. Have you heard of syndicate of beggers in Thailand? I heard they purposely make the handicap people mute, or deaf and clipped, so that people will sympathetic to them and contribute more money to them. At the end of the day, the money did not go to the handicap but go to the syndicate.
Our very own local beggers are forbited in Singapore, "oversea begger" is definitely not what Singapore want to invite.

S$4800/- for tutition?
Today, we chat with the lady who own 3 chain stores in Lucky Plaza, she came to our shop for body massage because she suffered from serious flu. She has taken the medication for a week and still not yet recovered. I said to her what she needs best is to rest and suggested to her that why she not train some one she can trust and take care of the business, so that she can relax and be the happy boss. This woman is a very capable lady, her three shops rental are S$22,000, S$12,000 and S$9000/- respectively. She said her three children are still young which age 12, 10 and 2 and a half respectively. She said her kids are all very naughty. She has no time to supervise the kids to do home work so she enages tuition teacher to coach her children. The teacher must find way to discipline her children so that they will sit down to learn their lessons. It is not easy task. Once, her P4 boy asked a lady tuitor, "How old are you?" She replied,"30", then he asked "Have you married?" She said "No" He said, "Oh, no wonder nobody want you, look at your teeth.................., your dress......................." Another time, he poured powder inside the tuitor's shoes, so that when the tuitor put on his shoes, the powder all blow up, and they were having fun, laughing. When the mother asked them what were their result in school, the boy said in the nice way, "There were two more people behind me, and Jia Jia didn't have any one behind her." Since, this parents are working every day without holiday, they enage the tuitor come to their house to tuition their children every day, including Saturday, Sunday, and during the school holiday. The tuition takes 4 hours a day, 2 hours for the boy and 2 hours for the girl. They paid the tuitor S$4800/- per month for the work.
As a result, the boy has scored the best mark for maths this year, the class position has improved to no 6 position. The girl also improve the position in school from 39X/400 to 21X/400 position. Money paid off!!

He is better to remain single!
I tried to match make these two 38 years old boy and girl one month ago. I bought my girl friend to Far East Plaza where he works to introduce them to each other. We met at 9pm becasue he works rather late and he works every day including weekend and public holiday. He recommended and ordered curry chicken rice for both of us. He didn't eat as he has taken his dinner at 5pm because he was very hungry. He said his mother cooks for him as well. So, he just watch us eat! After our dinner, they accompanied me to buy Mcdonald at Shaw Tower across the street. This boy tried to have conversation with my girl friend, but my girl friend hardly like to talk! She sticks with me when I queue for for Mcdonald. When we walks through the underway towards MRT station, my girl friend said goodbuy to me as she was taking bus that way. This boy immediate accompanied her to take bus although she waved her hand "no need". And that's the end of the stories.
My girl friend obviously very firm that she doesn't want to marry a smoker. She said most smokers are chain smoker, and she dislike them regardless boys or girls. For a while, I thought she is too strict. Where to find so many perfect husband? No smoking, no drinking, educated and earning good income. Good man has already been hooked, doesn't he?
I met this boy again two days ago. We chat. He actually has a very close knit family. Her sister already 47, just stay next block to him. He enaged a maid for his mother. Their house has total 3 maids, the other two enaged by his two sisters. His mother cooks every day for the family. Every one, including the nieces, nephew and brother inlaw all come to his house for dinner every day, there is total 19 of them including maids. He drives a car which belong to her sister next block. Her sister adores him as he is the youngest at home.
He usually goes home after work, after taken the home cook food, he will still meet his buddies down the coffee shop for beer session or go out together as he has the car. They have two tables full of them together, as 7 to 8 of them are still single. They are buddies since their young day. The last New Year Eve, they have a party at Mount Faber, they booked 6 tables. They have a sleepless night. At New Year Eve, their shop very busy, he earned about S$200/-on that day. He said he is earning the least is S$60/- a day. Then, he will very angry because his expenses is high, he needs S$4800/-a month. (Of course, you want to smoke and drink every night, employ a maid, drive a car, well, understood any things less than S$5000/- is not possible to maintain that king of life style.)
At the end of the chat, he mentioned they will advice friends who married to spend some time with their wife. He said, "We will respect you if you married a prositute, because the prositute willing to forgo her ten thousands dollors earning to marry you, we admire you. But if you treat your wife like a prositute after you married her, we will look down on you." Well said.
He said my girl friend is too quiet, she is not compatible to him. He has ever experience once a girl wanted to jump down from his flat because he wanted to break off. His mother said to the girl "if you want to jump, you jump la, I don't know where my son is, I also can not find him. " This boy is a filial son, he actually talks to his mother every day. He explained why he break off this girl. He went fishing with his friend, he knows that the girl will hate the sun, so he rather the girl stay at home, he went alone with his friend, but the girl insist to come with him. During the fishing trip, the girl full of complaint, "Sun too hot!.........................." This boy felt very disturb, so he decised to end the relationship. He said if he is married, he will not question his wife where she goes if she goes out. He also expects the same things, "Don't ever ask me where I go!" He wants to have his own life after his marriage.
Wow, after the chat, I realised that I don't understand man at all after all these years and bad experience. Well, I think my girl friend is right, this is not a suitable man for her since she is a homely type. He is still wild and playful. It is better to let him alone than get him into hook.

But if you treat your wife like a prositute after you married her, we will look down on you." Well said.
He said my girl friend is too quiet, she is not compatible to him. He has ever experience once a girl wanted to jump down from his flat because he wanted to break off. His mother said to the girl "if you want to jump, you jump la, I don't know where my son is, I also can not find him. " This boy is a filial son, he actually talks to his mother every day. He explained why he break off this girl. He went fishing with his friend, he knows that the girl will hate the sun, so he rather the girl stay at home, he went alone with his friend, but the girl insist to come with him. During the fishing trip, the girl full of complaint, "Sun too hot!.........................." This boy felt very disturb, so he decised to end the relationship. He said if he is married, he will not question his wife where she goes if she goes out. He also expects the same things, "Don't ever ask me where I go!" He wants to have his own life after his marriage.
Wow, after the chat, I realised that I don't understand man at all after all these years and bad experience. Well, I think my girl friend is right, this is not a suitable man for her since she is a homely type. He is still wild and playful. It is better to let him alone than get him into hook.
"Pitiful" Taxi driver
My girl friend recently told me that her brother revealed to her that, he has a mistress. He manages to do so because his father has settled the housing for him. His mistress is the China woman who accompanied her child study here. He contributes about S$1200/- per month to her. He is just the Taxi driver. He lately acquired another China woman, but this one he only gives S$10/- a day. He tried to borrow money from my friend, his sister. She thought he is stupid so pretend she is just as tight.
Few days ago, I have chat with a customer who worked in Goldsmitch shop for 3 years. She said she some times very "pity" those Taxi Driver. She said these Taxi Driver were the "Mr Roberto" of those China woman. They will make them pay from few hundreds to few thousand dollars. The China woman's tactic is she will bring a smaller piece of Gold, and said that this is the gift from her family, she doesn't like the design, so she would like to change to another design. The Goldsmitch Shop usually allows 3 maximum changes. They will keep coming back with different guys and do the changing and upgrading. She said these Taxi Drivers are usually old uncle. These China woman not very pretty, but they are very soft spoken to the men. When they came with their girl friends, they talk loudly and differently.
You think these uncle stupid or pitiful? No wonder our government must worry our money matter for us! How many of "Taxi driver" has become penniless because of such relationship, nobody knows!
