No-Pay Leave = No Work, No Money, Be Sad

Yesterday, I met my neigbour Mr. Yeo at his favourite economy rice stall having lunch all by himself. I asked him whether he was on leave or something as he is usually at work during such hours. He replied that he was, and the cruel part was it's no-pay leave. That's bad! He felt dejected when his immediate boss told him to go on leave without pay. That never happened to him before. He rattled away and grumbled that his big bosses get fat paychecks every month while ordinary staff like himself have to stay away from work (hopefully for one or two days only), not getting paid, and nothing else to do.

Mr.Yeo is not alone. I know of many friends who are in the same boat. Can we do something to make life better? Yes, I think we can if we kickstart ourselves with the many opportunities around us.

My good friend Ewen introduced me into one such option. He just made $549,784.82 on complete autopilot churning out profits online on his computer. I am very excited about it and I know you are too - an opportunity to make some extra cash!

And he's giving YOU the exact system to do it too!

Limited Edition Mooncakes At $888 per box of four

A well-known hotel in Singapore recently claimed that they have sold out 25 boxes of customized champagne mooncakes retailed at $888/box of 4 pieces (The Sunday Times, Sep 23, 2007). Cut each mooncake into the usual 4 bite-size pieces and we get $55.50 a mouthful!

"Ayoh! Is that true or false?" exclaimed Auntie Teng - an old lady who clear and clean the tables at the foodstalls near my place. "I have to work four days to earn that kind of money. I wish they can give me some of that money," continued my lady friend. That bite-size mooncake is worth more than four times her normal daily income!

"Stop dreaming Auntie Teng!" interjected my neighbour Mr. Yeo who frequents the economy rice stall just like I do. "These rich people have money to burn. Their money is like a bullock-cart wheel. Go get your Toto or 4-D. When you strike, don't forget to give us a treat."

Can the mooncake be considered a prosperity index to the present booming economy? While the poor old lady toils for $13-$15 a day, the rich folks flaunt their wealth like crazy. And the ordinary guy you encounter on the streets would tell you that he would love to get his hands on more cash so that he can take his children to KFC or McDonalds, or buy that lovely $100 dress that his wife nagged him about everyday.

Whatever the scenario, the bottom line is nobody is going to give you money. You have to earn it yourself. You have to work much more harder, and put in longer hours if you want to enjoy the better things in life. Striking the jack-pot on Toto or 4-D is like bumping into the God of Wealth in your dreams.

On the 25 September 2007 (corresponding to the 15th night of the 8th Chinese lunar month), the moon's orbit is at its lowest angle to the horizon, making the moon appears brighter and larger than at any other time. At this time of the year, all the summer harvests have been gathered, the weather is dry and cool and the full moon looms brightest in the sky - a perfect time to celebrate. They called it the Harvest Festival. As it is held at the middle of autumn which begins in the seventh lunar month and ends in the ninth, and it is popularly known as the mid-Autumn festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated among Chinese communities everywhere. It's a time of gathering and reunion for family members and friends. The older folks still perform the usual rituals of burning joss-sticks, red candles and golden joss-paper at the praying altar to the deities and ancestors. The youngsters take the opportunity to party throughout the night. The merry-making usually begins with happy children carrying colourful lanterns around the neighborhood tagging the occasion as the Lanterns Festival. However, the most important ingredient to the festivities is everyone come together to enjoy mooncakes, Chinese tea and appreciate the moon at its fullest. Thus, is is also called the Mooncakes Festival.
