Baby Bonus (添丁发财)

Have completed all 23 episodes of Channel 8 drama, Baby Bonus, 添丁发财, starring Felicia Chin 陈靓瑄 and Tay Ping Hui 郑斌辉.

Hehe, thanks to Singtel MioTV MobTV Select again.

Overall, I have been very much entertained by this drama series.
Of course the ending is predictable, a happy ending, typical of all Mediacorp family-oriented dramas.


Other than great acting from most of the supporting cast including Xiang Yun, Zhu Hou Ren, Apple Hong and Jesseca Liu, the one person I look forward to see in every episode, is the very very cute, adorable, cheerful and super likeable baby boy, Olympic.

If you have been watching the drama, you would know exactly what I mean.

He is sooooo cute....

Cleaner's safety?

The cleaners in Singapore really have no welfare. Got a shock today when I saw an Indian cleaner standing on the ledge of the HDB block opposite my block!

Guess what he was doing?

He was sweeping the ledge!

Goodness, I was wondering was he doing it because he loves his job (voluntarily)?
Or was he forced to sweep the ledge by the Town Council? (no choice)

A closer look.

No safety harness or something?

I thought the government always warn employers not to ask the domestic helpers (a.k.a. maids) to clean dangerous places like the windows, so as to prevent accidents?

Then can someone please explain this?

My Nice Neighbour...

I didn't know my (one) neighbour is so nice, until today.

(Of course I have got two really great friends in my block Da and Clarence - by neighbour, I really just mean my level.)

I was happily watching variety show at 8pm, when I heard a knock on my door.

Thinking it was some door-to-door salesman, I dragged myself to the door.

When I opened the door, the lady who stood at the door was an unfamiliar face, but she quickly identified herself as my neighbour.

She: Hi, I am your neighbour from that unit. (Pointing to the parallel unit)

Me: Hi, whats up?

She: Oh, I just wanted to inform you that this Saturday I will be having a party at my place, so it will be pretty noisy. Is this ok with you?

Me: (In my mind: Do I have a choice?) Sure, no problem at all. :)

She: Thanks a lot, do you want to join us as well?

Me: Oh its ok, enjoy yourselves.

She: Thanks again.

Me: Thanks for informing.

I think its really nice of her to inform me that there will be NOISE this Saturday, so at least I will be prepared. And its also nice of her to offer me to join in la, seriously how many neighbours these days will do that? For one, I am not the sociable type of neighbours who will smile at everyone in the neighbourhood.

Hmm... at least now I know who stays opposite me, and this has definitely broken the ice, and the next time if I do bump into her, it won't be so awkward anymore.

I shall take the initiative to introduce myself the next time we see each other.
