PPP: dream holiday to Australia

I have been dreaming to go for Holidays in Australia since I were a young kid… my mum’ elder brother and elder sister has actually migrated there many years ago…. Which means I have my aunties, uncles, cousin brothers and cousin sisters living in Australia…. Some of them lives in Perth…. in Gold Coast… in Melbourne….

And now almost me reaching 30 years old, I yet to visit them…. I guess I must really find a way to save more $$$ to visit them one day... perhaps before I turn 40 years old…

interviewing a special young lady

the other day i interviewed a candidate... i would say a special candidate because she is the first handicapped person i ever interview.... our CSD dept currently(since i joined!) has two permanent staffs & one contract staff who are special in their own way..... all three of them are mute...... we often communicate by writing on a piece of paper or sometimes, by simple sign language....

but this time, i interviewed a young lady who lost half of her right hand(she only has her right arm down to the elbow only)... means she does not have her right hand fingers/ palm......

i really pity her a lot... but yet, i could not offer her either permanent or temporary position... the staff that we are looking for needs to handle A LOT OF paper work(filling, scanning, shredding etc....)..... sometimes we oso need to carry/ arrange our stationeries(A4 paper/ invoices paper etc..)

of course this special lady can do such work but we also need someone who can work at speed(with the expanding business, more workload)..........

i hope that she can find work at another office who can offer her a job but need not work in such "speedy" environment.... somewhere not so challenging.....

after meeting her, it makes me appreciate my life more..... the ability of us to do the things that we want or need to do.... and at any time we wanna do it....

PPP: time for a vacation

It has been a long time since hubby & I went for an overseas holiday…. I do not consider visiting Singapore as an overseas trip since I have been going there almost on a yearly basis…. Hehehe… the last trip that we went overseas for a holiday was two years back for our honeymoon in Hong Kong.... sigh...

I would actually love to plan for a vacation soon…. As a tourist to another country, will you prefer to sign up for an all inclusive package(which covers air ticket, accommodation, hotel transfers, sight-seeing, meals etc…) or would you prefer to opt for free & easy package?

Here is one example: my parents once joined an all-inclusive tour package to Guangzhou, China… and they were brought to visit the bee farms…..all because the tour agents get commission by bringing tourists there means my parents got to waste their time visiting the farm… is china famous for honey?

As for me, I will definitely prefer free & easy package… All I need to do is go online and reserve the air tickets and accommodation…. To those who are planning for a vacation, check out Hotel Reservations, a site which offers great rates with discounts for hotel reservations, car rental, flights etc….

Yup…. And all-in-one site where you can find competitive rates for hotels/ motels/ resorts with great discounts for world wide destinations…… as they said, guaranteed for lower prices too!

for example, a night stay at a 3 star hotel in Las Vegas is only as low as US$ 40 per night…… yup! This is one such great rate that they are offering…. And with this saving on accommodation means we will have more $$$ for shopping!

And if you are interested to join for a cruise holiday in USA/ Europe, you will also find it here where there is a wide selection of cruise lines to choose from…. And of course all this online reservations come with a great savings of $$$.....

As I said earlier, Hotel Reservations are a great site to visit if you planning for the much awaited vacation of your lifetime!
