      That was the only night I didn't sleep enough due to caffeine coz I drank coffee with refilling for the abt 4hrs duration chatting with my siblings.
      Actually this is not the first time you complained could not sleep well due to drinking too much coffee. Sigh.....狗咬吕洞滨.....I am only concern : since you are driving, not enough sleeping may cause traffic accidents.

        Ok let me google for the raw rice. Didn't know abt it. Also I may just try take out the basket and cook the rice as per usual.

        Red rice not so much abt dieting to me..just that I thought it supposed to be healthier rice. We have blackberry purple rice, brown rice..i like to eat these rice but kids like white rice..so during cny period I bought 1 packet of white rice coz we need to eat rice almost everyday. Normal days they eat very little rice or try find others to eat. Yesterday afternoon I cooked the sweet sour pork coz dd been asking for few days already. I boiled 2 pieces of bihun and after that add olive oil, pepper and soy sauce, to replace rice coz I know they dont like the rice.
        Beehoon is processed food, though easy on our stomach, I eat less. Raw rice are less processed than white rice & our stomach works harder to digest, hence healthier for ‘exercising’ our digestive organs.

          Ya , likely need be making up the hours , else output may b affected .
          But normal hrs it’s abt 830 to 6pm ; add another near 2 hrs to make up hours after 6pm. By the time end work is abt 8pm . Reach home 9pm, may not have time to do meals , bonding with kids. If there is helper at home , prob not much diff .. some mums need to coach kids hw, no time again ?
          For single or man , they work till abt 7 or 8pm daily so maybe no diff to these Grp.
          Anyway , whatever it comes , we will embrace change n move forward. High chance , I will do less work too , time to do things we like n enjoy , slow down , spend more time with family , friends , then we walk longer in life

          I look around in my org, the high post are held by people in late 40s to 60s , if all these people still hold on to their post till 63 n extend retirement … then the young adults may not have chance to move up … how? They stuck at low position ; middle age, senior citizens sit in high positions… soon our children will graduate n come out to work , they may meet this situation at work, management positions filled by seniors , competitive to fight for the few management posts, wait till people retire then rare chance come ?
          Yea we can only embrace whatever changes come. I think all in all if someone can produce same output it doesnt matter where we work. Time & $ saved from travelling as least. ..

          Hmm you are right there too..for organisations with low staff turnover, how to get young blood arh. But these organisations likely good employers also.

            Just few hours and I don't even feel stressful. I just watched some drama and do some online purchases. On traffic accidents, I think I m quite a responsible person in driving. I don't speed coz I don't want contribute towards nation building via this way 😂 and always drive the few routes only so know what to be careful of.

                It may be can usually see new staffs at junior levels. Unless the dept/co has expansion right else difficult to absorb hor.

                    Go rent car without telling 😓 really boy turned into man after ns. I think we better dont always say no to the kids nowadays. We say no, they still do, but behind our back.

                      If he's got a licence, does he really need your permission?

                        It's best to explain why we say 'no' and hope to convince them. Once they have the ability to act without our permission, and are adults, they don't need our permission.
