Increasing Fertility..

And so they think that somehow it will help...

I guess, the idea is there, there is a need for a general mindset change.. but I guess it also goes rather unfair that the government has to take up the challenge in righting the mindset, yet, the government is affect by low fertility which unfortunately is caused by this global shift in mindset and hence becomes gahmen problem.. i also cannot fathom why..

paternity leave obviouly only tries to shift alongside the society's struggle to try to put men and women on the same fighting line. Of course I cannot ignore some women who wants to compete with men. I also cannot put down the women who actually do better than men. But no idea why, but somehow i think after doing better and achieving ahead of men, i guess, i feel, even kwa geok choo learnt her place at home. some others just took longer to realise.

work life balance is like the largest topic of the city. CE wants work life integration, i think he has to change now lol. work life balance and work life integration IMO is just two opposite end of the x and z axis. not even in the same dimension lor. but how to balance? I tot he'd say one day off work. 32 work hours per week. but to penalise pple for staying past 6pm? Pple will just go home and do work. No need go home, use the mobile also can do work. My user smses me at 7pm on Sunday.

i think cannot la. Just look at myself now. Already struggling to meet my boyfriend, spend time with mum. Left so little time to meet my best friends, my best colleagues, not to mention random friends who sometimes are so important. What about learning sewing? learning horse riding? and going on vacations? Really lei. 44 hours work week still not enough LIFE time. by the time reach home, already shag till want to plonk straight into bed. Don't say make babies, don't even have time to build family bonds any more. and most employers actually end up needing their staff to work 88hour weeks...

this is difficult. cos its a fundamental shift. lifestyle change. we can work less hours, but means employer need to employ more pple. So they either profit less or we earn less, or BOTH. But how can we earn less? When those women on the streets die for DKNY, Coach and i also cannot imagine what else. pple cannot align with the precious gift of family, of home cooked dinners and the simple pleasure of a cloth bag. like want to go back kampung le.

i guess personally, i don't have a problem enjoying and living my fullest and towards my beliefs. But I can sense and see the general public who are not happy, not contented and not prepared for life. sigh for my gahmen.
