        [quote=\"FQW\"]why when young I tot if I earned $x I'll be happy, only to find later that I'm not?


        Because when you were young, the cost of living is this high. By the time you earning $x, the cost of living has probably multiplied.

        A guy ever asked me when I was 18 - how much your hubby needs to earn before you would consider being a housewife after marriage. I thought about seriously and said $6k per month. He blasted at me for full 30min, saying I must be crazy ( as in, $6k is an astronomical figure that he has never even dreamed of). Now that we are much older, I am sure he understand and agree earning $6k/month is not uncommon.

        At this age, I would need my hubby to earn a lot more than $6k before I would seriously consider being a housewife. :evil:

        or you can consider marrying many husbands ... :siam:[/quote] :spank:

        Nah.... A good one is enough. Eh, a lot of work (to serve a husband) ok?

          [quote=\"jedamum\"]....what is the use of compo writing when most of us won't be writers of fiction books when we grow up.


          Maybe moe should focus on report writing and situational writing instead? Since many of us would end up in some kind of office job and that we need to write reports/minutes/proposals?

          ...what is the difference between a report/proposal and fiction?[/quote]I assume you are asking the difference in writing style for report/proposal and fiction. here's how I see it-

          When one writes fiction/narrates a story, one writes to create pictures with emotions - reader can 'see' how the guy is smitten by the pretty girl/ how painful the deed has caused etc through the words used. Words are used to bring out feelings, scenarios etc.

          When it comes to report/proposal, it's very factual and backed by data.

          For instance, in a newspaper article on hit and run incident, you don't read things like,\"she left in fright\". You see things like \"she left the scene\".

          I am not good with writing, these are just some observation I hv picked up.

            Must be lah 😆

            The first thought that came to me was to lure the \"used to be regular\" ones out.

              Some of the sec1 exam questions stated very clearly \"No model drawing Method\".....marks will not be given.....

              The schs expects them to use Algebra which they are taught to solve those questions....

              So irony, right?

              The way I see it, as an analogy ,
              When my baby was I year old is used a milk bottle but when he is 5 I expect him to use a cup.
              Actually if your 1 yr old can start on a cup directly , you don't need to use the milk bottle.

              You forgot to add this.

              \"and some day later in life, you (mostly the men) will find what you learn as a infant quite useful\"
              :evil:

                  Lol. So we must factor inflation in our computations of our expected personal satisfaction index.

                    Because that is the only animal we have in abundance in Singapore. Cannot study life cycle of Jiajia and Kaikai because life cycle is only 10 years.


                    and bcos it'll cost us 5 bucks for a 10 min study ...

                    It costs more than 5 bucks if you consider the entrance fees. All we saw were 2 inert lumps of black and white fur prone on the ground like doormats. Thank goodness for the hyperactive little red panda prancing around and making all of us go oooo and ahhh.
