SIngle life

I was a single man for a week coz Ivy headed back to Spore to attend her younger bro's wedding. It felt unusual initially when I was home alone... but work took up most of my time and i did manage to do some photography with my ex-colleague Sonny. Didn't manage to take many nice photos mainly coz of the dull weather. Sonny is now working for a centrelink associated company..he handles those dole suckers. I was amazed on how tough it is to cut dole payment to these lazy people. Not many countries can afford such a wasteful system.


come cacti formation tat i felt looked unusual

sonny doing his thing

some cruise ship docked at the sydney harbour... if only there is a cruise that goes to spore

It is an opportune time to do some serious photography!

Ben said...

photography is kinda weather dependent... weather kinda sucks lately :(

Yeah, sucks that the people who actually need money don't get enough, and those who don't have easy access.

How long's Ivy gone for?

Huh? How's money coming into THIS equation? But that's true.. a sad fact of life.

Ben said...

the world is kinda weird to me.. in developing countries, a lot of $$$ is wasted on corruption, whereas in developed countries like Oz, a lot of $$ is wasted on welfare and failed policies/studies.

Dude
System is working at the moment cos people like us are paying for it!

Can tell u one thing for sure if Kevin Rudd stays on long enough and keeps giving away money we might need think about moving on to somewhere like Alaska! Oh crap I forgot about Sarah Palin!

Ben said...

I think we should try communism for a change. Capitalism has reared its ugly head and will mark the beginning of the demise of USA as a superpower.

What money...me no get none. I pay taxes, but get no returns. Sigh...

Ben said...

the world is addicted to America's debt... dunno if they can ever break that addiction and what would happen if they do.

ah teng.. i believe it is Cat tat is entitled to the government cash bonus. Spore government doesn't give much to PRs.

Socialism IMHO really works only if everyone pulls their weight, or if there is more than enough to go around for everyone.

Otherwise... discontent breeds.
