Ditched Fast Food. 6.5 years & counting

Fast food restaurant workers are on strike in USA over their measly pay & finding it hard to even support 1 kid. If their pay in USA is considered measly, then it is even more pathetic in Sillypore's fast food restaurants. It was reported by the govt's Employment & Employability Institute that a full time crew at MCD(S'pore) has a gross salary of $1,100

Miserable wages contribute to increasing profits for the corporation.

My reasons for boycotting fast food restaurants:

• Expensive unhealthy food.
• Spam, spam, spam like weeds chain store outlets
• Why support fast food restaurants exploiting workers through pathetic wages?
• Why get served by 'zombie' workers? (hire & fire + low wage)
• Zombie workers have no pride in their work/preparing food compared to self-employed hawkers.

If the reasons i cited above are not sufficient for you to vote with your wallet against those fast food outlets, consider watching this 5mins video.



What kind of french fries are you putting into your stomach? The other MCD burgers decompose at a slower rate which means preservatives in them to last longer(look more beautiful) which means more profits for the company. On the beautiful part, i got reminded during a cycle trip to Kluang, Johor in Malaysia in 2011. At the lunch stop at Ayer Hitam, a man involved in the vegetable wholesale business shared a table with us. He said that Sillyporeans like buying beautiful vegies. Why? Cause lots of pesticides are sprayed - i almost spat out the porridge in my mouth. I like his candor though.

Gosh, I Got Registered Letter

Note : Added cellphone addiction to warnings in earlier blogpost. Forgotten about it.

Stingy Over a Postage Stamp
Usual mail consists of bills. I was shocked to receive registered mail for reservist. 1st notification letter for reservist in March 2014 came in april this year. I bochup (didn't bother) to mail back acknowledgement slip as there is no postage supplied. Look how stingy the hybrid regime is in treating the native sons of Sillypore over 1 stamp while doling out free scholarships for foreigners.

It also shows how foolish the bureaucracy is. Saving on a stamp & end up paying so much higher on registered mail.

Anyway since the reservist is like 1 year away, the usual practice is the manpower officer will 'arrow' the clerks to call the men just days before to remind the men to report back for training. Hence another reason i bochup & didn't mail back the acknowledgement slip.

There's Little Sense to National Service
I wrote in May about Throwing Cash Vouchers at Demoralised Reservists Is Not Working. Earlier this month the Defence Ministry is still exploring possibility of making retirement fund contributions (instead of companies) when workers are called up for National Service.

Note the bold words i highlighted in red. The hybrid regime is beyond redemption. Just vote them out in 2016 elections. Is a joke the native citizens are discriminated at work/3rd class citizens in one's own country while foreigners with no reservist obligations are preferred in the workplace - no disruption to work.

Excessive Military Spending with Demoralised Force in Overrun Island
Such news of demoralised troops are open knowledge to other countries. Other countries also know this tiny island state is presently overrun with foreigners.

NS = National Service

ICT = In-Camp Training

I didn't ask my platoon mates if they also bochup in mailing back acknowledgement slip due to no postage stamp & thus received registered mail. I suspect many also bochup as well.

SAF = S'pore Armed Forces
SAF = Serve And Fuck off

Native sons don't call SAF by the lower term for nothing.

Cycle Fest becomes Cycle Fail - My Warning Came True

I made a ruckus last year in "World Class Marketing" for Guniness Cycling Convoy Record regarding the 'iceberg' that the Cycle Fest 2013 event would hit.

It was such a massive failure that the state controlled news tabloid termed it World record-setting event flops from the get-go on March 6th this year.

• Not enough participants turned up
• Poorly organised
• Emcee of the event said he has not been paid
• Organiser owes several thousand dollars for the printing of event jerseys
• Record not set

Look at the above screenshot from the 1.5mins video. Truly pathetic turnout. When the company hires a bunch of Yesmen or Yeswomen, it get what it deserves - nobody dare to voice out dangers. Just follow instructions blindly. Shut up & do your work quietly. Throw in extra overtime work if necessary, sacrifice family time, sacrifice friends/social time. End up all aboard the ship perish.

Superiors at work find it hard to manage me cause i question things that i sense is dangerous.. It is hard to shut me up cause i will blog here on warnings about the dangers.on issues that catch my attention.

Many bosses & managers in Sillypore find 'warning indicators' workers hard to manage. I suppose they like flying a plane with no warning indicators.

Remember what the head of the union (govt minister) said about Cheaper, Faster, Better.

• Is cheaper to build a plane with no warning indicators installed.
• Is faster to build a plane with no warning indicators installed
• Is better to build a plane with no warning indicators installed.

R2B: Return to Base Theme Song; S Korea's 'Top Gun' Movie

Let's sing!

You dream of living in the shining star.
And if i could, if i could be your dream
day after day

I wanna be where you are day by day
Believe in you, believe in me yeah

--- chorus 2x ---
Hey i'm gonna fly, just like a butterfly
Let me take you there. More higher, more higher
Hey i'm gonna fly, just like a butterfly
Let me take you there. More higher, more higher
Hey i'm gonna fly...

You dream of flying to the glamourous sky
And if i could, if i could be your dream
day after day
I wanna be where you are day by day
Believe in you, believe in me yeah

--- chorus 2x ---
Hey i'm gonna fly, just like a butterfly
Let me take you there. More higher, more higher
Hey i'm gonna fly, just like a butterfly
Let me take you there. More higher, more higher
Hey i'm gonna fly...



I'm not exactly sure what the title of the song is. Commenters on youtube said is Soar to the Sky, Soar to the Sun, Closer to the Sun. Nevertheless is something soaring up to the vast expanse above.

If you are pumping for more. You can proceed to watch R2B: Return to Base (~2 hours; 2nd lower screen). I've watched it 2x. Although i'm a foreigner & never been to the land of kimchi, i can feel the pride of being a S korean while watching the movie.
