      Now that I have a better understanding. I definitely want my DC to go overseas. :drool:

      Or get your DC to be his/her own boss.... that way, no one can ever run over your DC... even in the bad economy time, a boss is still a boss :evil:

      Except the taxman, banks, landlords and ah longs... 😆

        I believe sinoboy lives on the same planet as we do. But I have serious doubt that he is an working adult/parent.


        Or if he is a working adult/parent, no wonder he is being passed for promotions ... :siam:

        In one of the thread some time back, sinoboy's \"group-hugs\" to welcome the influx of all the PRC mei mei (his words:- the more the merrier..) left a lasting impression.... and also, so often that he talks about his yearning for a Lexus, a not-so-super-car.

              Lexus is a quiet car what. Our MM bought one of the first few LS400 by the way. But with the current 50% downpayment and much of it goes to financing the COE, I'll continue to drive my merc. 😄

                A serious question for you. Have you ever worked in the private sector before? :scratchhead:
                Except for one year in a quasi stat board, and 2 1/2 years NS (completed my full 13 years cycle btw), all my life I've been in the private sector. My desire for an overseas education is real albeit not fulfilled. I wasn't joking with the ranking and pecking order as I now see it as a new norm to evaluating staff potential (especially before they implemented the sg/pr vs ft quota). I'm like other KSP emulating our ex PMs, MM, current PM & ministers all sending their DC overseas to study, so don't see anything wrong unless you are saying our ministers are also from another world. And yes I'm an earthling with limited 慧根 that's why I love 桃花and prefer to :grphug: mei mei. :celebrate:

                  My guess is that you are in a line of work that having connections and a better understanding of the cultures and inner workings of other countries would be advantageous to bring in money and new clients for the company.

                  I’ve always assumed you are working in the private sector. Just wondering, are your bosses and bosses above majority PRs and FTs?

                  Money and status are not everything in life. If you can remove the big 无明, you’ll be much happier. Wish you peace and happiness.

                      My previous bosses were a mixture of locals and FTs. I'm only saying one of my regret is life is not having an overseas education. It is my personal opinion that an overseas education may not be necessary in the past, but times have changed. With influx of people here from everything, we better arm ours kids with an overseas education to ensure they do not get marginalized. Isn't that what KSPs is about? :xedfingers:

                        Only when they are scholars or graduated from Harvard and the other top overseas universities then I have respect for their education smartness. Otherwise, local universities are still better.
