A friend posted on her FB that the Singapore government thinks there should not be a retirement age. Agree? I watched the discussion on CNA last night and my stand is neutral. Let's just say this topic can be debated from a few angles. Lucky folks who claim their job is their passion - how much truth is there I don't know - may well agree with the statement because if you are indeed happy doing what you're doing then it's no longer a job (or chore) rather it's a joy to wake up to a brand new day pursuing your passion. On the other hand there are folks who work because they have to make ends meet. Case in point, I know of someone who is a late bloomer in the marriage department (not by choice)and with 2 young kids to support, although he's of retirement age there's not one day he would even come close to dreaming of that possibility as yet. Finally I think I belong to the this group of individuals who would argue that as long as the spirit is willing we would still like to stay active by continuing to work. Of course, by then, I probably would have qualified for 'my job is my passion' working class. Woo hoo!

The header reads, "Food blogger who demands free meal sparks outrage oline." What was he thinking when he started the food blog. Was he expecting to leverage on his blogger status to earn free meals? Come to think of it I don't recall reading any reviews on hawker fare - I may be wrong - since the time I found out about his blog sometime last year. I think one should still pay for their share of food even if it's an invitation from the restaurant. Nothing is for free and if you do accept the kind offer then you're definitely expected to write a positive review in return in order to draw in the crowd, and you would not be doing your blog or the readers justice unless you are sure it's of neutral stand. But how is that possible, right? Well, Mr. Brad Lau, your blogging days are over. Next.
