[Volume 7 Issue 10, #1579]
『一閃一閃亮晶晶, 滿天都是小星星, 掛在天上放光明, 好像許多小眼睛..』
大家有幾耐冇再唱過呢首童謠呀?? 應該係咸豐年前, 我哋大家所學識唱嘅最早幾首歌, 其中一首吧?? 其實呢個印度傳統歌謠版本, 好耐以前我就已經聽過喇, 不過隔咗咁耐再聽返, 我仍然覺得佢係非常之搞笑!! 今日(又)係公共假期喎, 所以我都唔咁長篇大論喇, 大家慢慢品嘗呢首篇曲堪稱一絕嘅星星閃閃啦, 呵呵!! :)
twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky..
how long have you not sing this song?? i guess this must be one of the very first songs that we learned to sing gazillion of years ago right?? well, i came across this "indian desi style" some time ago, and i still find it awesomely hilarious listening for the n-th time!! it's public holiday (again) today, not going to be long-winded, hope you'll enjoy listening to this "geniously arranged" lullaby, haha!! :)

      This is once in 10 years luck one. Suddenly got extra $$$.

      I just hope Dec & Jan bonus won't be cut due to this month's windfall! xD

      Delete
    6. Huh??? BONUS EVERY MONTH??? Waiyor...like that I also want. What line are you into? I can apply or not?

      Delete
    7. Thank you. Yup....long weekend ahead.

      Ya wor...Lina's pocket cheong pok pok(full). Sure will have great time.

      Good la your company sharing bonus with staffs like that. They won't cut bonus gua. If contractual bonus then not scared la. But if under management staffs then risky a bit lo. No worry la. Co baru listed shares. Sure will wanna jaga face one and wont deduct bonus

      Delete
    8. Meow,
      Not Bank la... mana ada contractual bonus one.

      Dec bonus is year-end bonus. 1month only
      Jan is performance bonus. Depends on appraisal.
      Other bonus.... this one got also nasib la... Hv to wait another 10 years to get this one again. kekeke
      Support staff got "token" payment last month.

      Delete
    9. Wah!!!! $$$$$$$$!!!! @.@!!!!

      Delete
    10. Bank contractual only for clerical. Management tarak.

      wah performance bonus get so early ah? Last time we had to wait for the Co profit result annoucned and after the AGM baru get the performance bonus.

      Really cham one leh...wait till tidur listening to lullaby leh.

      But then when get the performance bonus can dance like in the video la. some get 0.75 to 8 months bonus. That one who got 8 months bonus is the marketing staff la. The admin one usually between 1.25 to 2months aje
