In a fast-pace society where we are constantly reminded of the need to strife hard to in order to bring home the bacon, I guess not many of us take heed of or truly have the luxury to embrace the concept of work-life balance... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-...g-life-20130308 Don't let work get in the way of enjoying life BUDGET 2013 set out strategies to achieve quality growth and an inclusive society. However, the issue of work-life balance does not seem to be addressed. Incentives have been rolled out for workers to travel to work earlier to avoid the peak-hour crowds. But why should they do this when they cannot be sure of leaving the office earlier to spend time with their family and friends? They would ultimately end up spending more time in the office than before. Almost every working individual now has a smartphone synchronised to his work e-mail account, so he can check his e-mail messages any time and anywhere, even while on vacation. If someone does not do likewise, does that make him a less productive worker? Singaporeans seem almost afraid to go home on time after work. It is as if a hard-working employee is one who stays past the official working hours. In a poll by Jobstreet.com last year, nearly nine out of 10 workers surveyed worked beyond their official hours; 70 per cent chose to complete unfinished work in the office while the remaining 30 per cent brought work home. It also found that only 30 per cent of the respondents claimed that their companies had initiatives in place to promote work-life balance. More worryingly, 45 per cent indicated that their companies' work-life balance policies were just for show. The mentality of needing to be the first in the rat race has affected work-life balance here. Singaporeans have been taught the importance of doing well in school, so they can find a good job that would allow their families to live comfortably. Perhaps it is the fear of losing their rice bowls during the economic downturn that results in workers putting in many more hours at work to prove their worth. We should remember that productivity comes from working smart, not working hard. I urge the Government to introduce more compulsory measures for companies to achieve a better work-life balance. Everyone should also remember to take the time to do the things they love and not miss out on life's little pleasures. Donovan Chee Kwok Hoe

I think someone have posted this video and singer before in this forum. (Thats how I knew about this singer 1-2 years ago) I think it would be nice to share it with the others that don't know of this amazing singer. Now comes the billion dollar question. What ways are there are to achieve such a high pitch? For me, maybe it would be a Ferrari travelling at 200 mph then it rammed my balls, maybe only then I would be able to produce such a high pitch.

Received this message from a friend of mine, thought it might be interesting to share the info with you... We are not sure why it is so effective, just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful even driving at night. Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibiilty in front of the windscreen is still bad..... In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windscreen is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain. Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea. Try it yourself and share it with your friends!
