i am back into the life of serving ns.. zzz..
my week has been relatively..
i dont really know how to put this..

first.. there was this insurance thing that i did on friday..
its some insurance to cover me for my time in uk…
everytime i click on submit, an error message would appear..
so, being singaporean, ill click on it again and again..
and ta-da ! .. i have FIVE emails stating FIVE different quotation numbers..
so.. i called them.. at 8am singapore time..
without realising that its actually midnight there..
i didnt get through anyway and i suspect that singtel will bill me for it..

i tried again today.. and i still couldnt get through for some reason or the other..
so.. i bought skype credits..
dont ask me why i decide to use skype..
i just think that its a little bit easier since i wouldnt have to use the 001 or whatever..
and skype doesnt actually recognise singapore dollars..
so.. i chose australian dollars with the exchange rates in mind.. =)
the standard was buying 16AUD..
and after calling them.. i have 15.70AUD left.. zzz..
all they did was put me on hold for half the call..
and the other half was making me repeat and telling me its only quotations..
not contracts and it doesnt actually matter with FIVE different ones..
owells..

had pa on saturday..
outdoor rehearsal this time.. as usual..
after that.. was to py’s house for mj and stuff..
left in the morning..

last orderly duty yesterday..
quite ok.. considering people were busy with everything else..
i was reading this article by rana foroohar in this ultra outdated newsweek magazine..
on the frontpage it writes :

“Stealth Wealth –
How the truly rich are seperating themselves from the mere millionaires, behind closed doors”

and on the title of the article..

“Luxury Goes Undercover -
The best things in life aren’t necessarily flashy objects but discreet, meaningful experiences.”

i kinda like this small section in the article :

Milton Pedraza, director of the New York-based research firm the Luxury Institute, recalls a well known private-equity billionaire who was recently brought to tears after receiving such a birthday gift from his wife. “It’s the story of your life, told by the people who love you,” he says. “Can you imagine anything more personal ? That’s real luxury.”
