当你每天看着那负面的新闻时。。 你有可能不为所动吗？ 某某公司裁员。。 某某公司倒闭。。 某某公司年度财政出现赤字。 就连赫赫有名的大机构都无一幸免。 令人难免 为 “前途” 与 “钱途“ 而担忧。本人因为还有屋债未清，所以也是忧心耿耿。。 几时才能摆脱这赚钱来还钱的宿命呢？ 无语问苍天 ：（

CNY thought.
This year it is the first year I had spend my first Chinese New Year outside of Penang. The feeling is completely difference to spend CNY in a complete foreign land.. where it is not so "chinese" :) You still see some CNY decoration in Shopping mall and airport.. but you are not hearing the "usual" Chinese new year Theme songs that you used to hear everywhere you go... Especially so, if you are going to the shopping Mall.. You don't feel Chinese New Year.. as it is not a public holiday.. but of coz this year is an exemption.. So coincidently this year, first day of CNY falls on Australian Day.. so officially it is a holiday. I have took the opportunity to take extra day off to celebrate the new year with my family of coz.. since my younger sister is also here in Melbourne.. Nothing special for the year... except Melbourne is experiencing the hotest week in a row. It is not seen in 100 years.. the last time Melbourne is experiencing a continuous heatwave was 1904 according to the local news source.
This Ox year is not so warm welcome by everyone I guess, as the world economic is at the most chaotic state as ever seen.. Hope the economy will bottom out by mid of the year and start picking up again... Let's hope for a better year ahead of us :)

Queensland's latest tourism campaign is giving job seekers the chance to get paid $150,000 to live six months rent-free on the Great Barrier Reef.
As their Christmas holidays fade and the credit crunch begins to bite, office workers dreaming of a fresh start are being tempted to apply for "the best job in the world".
Tourism Queensland is looking for applicants willing to walk white sandy beaches, sit under palm trees and swim with turtles as they soak up the sun.
The successful candidate will be asked to keep a blog and photo diary in exchange for six months rent-free on Hamilton Island as part of a $150,000 salary package that includes return airfares and travel insurance.
Australians and overseas applicants must be willing to "swim, snorkel, make friends with locals and generally enjoy the tropical Queensland climate and lifestyle".
The `island caretaker' position was created as part of a three-year $1.7 million marketing strategy by Tourism Queensland.
But Tourism Queensland chief Anthony Hayes said the job was not just a publicity stunt.
"Yes this is part of a unique Tourism Queensland strategy to promote the islands of the Great Barrier Reef internationally, but candidates will have to go through a genuine recruitment process," he said.
Australian Marketing Institute president Roger James said the campaign was an interesting idea but would need innovative marketing to make sure the winning candidate's blog was as effective as traditional advertising.
"I've got to decide to log on to the blog ... and to make that work you have to have a communication that is arresting and interesting," he said.
"If we end up with little videos or this person wandering around the islands and they're just happy snaps it may not generate much interest at all.
"On the other hand, if it is something new and arresting and inventive it may be an absolute huge hit."
The campaign was launched overseas today and a domestic launch will follow this weekend but Mr James said it was likely an overseas applicant would be picked.
The winning candidate will be chosen from a shortlist of 11 and must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator, be able to speak and write English, have an adventurous attitude, enjoy snorkelling and/or diving and be willing to try new things.
The job includes free accommodation in a three-bedroom home on Hamilton Island complete with plunge pool, views of the Whitsunday Islands and golf buggy.
The caretaker will promote the Great Barrier Reef islands, give media interviews and take care of a "few minor tasks" throughout their tenure beginning on July 1.
