finalight··on In France, New Review of 35-Hour Workweek
singapore

usually monday to friday but 5.5 working days for some other companies (referring to white collar job btw)

so if you just assume it's 5 day week, then it would be 25 working days approximately a month, times 12 would be 300

this year we have 10 public holidays and that's again under assumption that these holidays falls on non weekend (if fall on saturday, it's considered as gone)

so 300 - 10 = 290

so ya, that's about that

finalight··on The 6 Secrets to Getting Promoted (for Software Engineers)
good secrets, but doesn't really apply well in my country, especially when they don't appreciate software engineers since they just outsource most of the projects to other companies, in which those companies would just outsource to another contractor and this chain keeps on going until to other countries.

finalight··on If Singapore is the most expensive city, then why Redmond costs more?
i'm a singaporean here

most expensive city? not sure too expensive to live? definitely

you ever heard of certificate of ownership? it's a cert that requires you to own a car. a mazda biante here cost around $150k SGD, not sure about other countries though.

furthermore, there's a lot of taxes we need to pay and we don't even know where these tax goes to! it doesn't really even help the poor as far as i can see. Furthermore, ministers' salaries are in millions per annum and there are so many ministers and you defiinitely need to pull strings to get that job

still have a lot of more to complain, but then i'm too tired to keep typing so much
