Dilemna of Singlehood

Doubtful of this, cos just input name and got this tarot. Hmm...




You Are The Fool



You are a fascinating person who is way beyond the concerns of this world.

Young at heart, you are blissfully unaware of any dangers ahead.

You are a true wanderer - it has be difficult finding your place in this world.

Full of confidence, you are likely to take a leap of faith.



Your fortune:



You are about to embark on a new phase in your life.

This may mean changing locations, jobs, friends, or love status.

You are open about what the future will bring, and free of worry.

You have made your peace with fate, and you're ready to start down your new path.

Usually I am not one to comment about any measures after the national day rally. Cos being a non-Singaporean, it doesnt include me at all, maybe unless its cpf related or hdb-flat related.

Have read this divide between the Singles and the Married, regarding their work and their performance a few weeks back. The matter of fact is that both sides are valid. Married moms have to go/rush back home to look after their kids hence couldnt do as much cos there is just that amount of time in a day. Singles and those without life, end up having to shoulder the load. Though there are those who employed temporary help, but not all. Both sides were arguging how Married lose out cos their performance is perceived to be less, how the Singles were 'rewarded' for their longer hours by performance or promotion.

Well as more measures are being drawn up for Married and maternity. It seems again the Singles will lose out. Looking at the extended leave for childcare and maternity. Is there going to be some sort of 'enhanced' leave for Single?

Just looking at those different categories of leave which applies to my industry. The only leave I can take is 1 day for convocation and medical leave and berevement leave (choy choy) Leave for HDB, marriage, honeymoon, childcare, maternity dun apply blah blah.

Well true enough, maybe performance may be viewed better but it meant NO work-life balance, in the aspect of longer hours for work, lack of social life etc etc. Not to mention the fact that Singles are the sons/daughters of someone else too, they may not have a young child but they have family and personal life still.

Its a dilemna.

Oh yar, btw I am 'expiring' and my expiry date is drawing closer each single moment I am unattached. Yet I am not ready to take on the role of Motherhood, being a surrogate one for work is somewhat more than enough for me. The responsiblilities and hours are not what I am ready to put in at the moment.

Guess for now, I can live with this choice.
If have, then okay. If no have, means no have lor. Just need to ensure can live with any single siblings or if not, then alone lor, to help take care of one another.
