The number game

The Beijing Games will start at 08:08 pm on 08/08/08. And todays marks 88 more days before the games. We and the lucky 8. Oh.. How I wish it was really so simple. Getting a Blk 88 on Street 8, then on level 8 and unit number 8. And ... Oh and not to forget hp number with as many 8s as possible. And life will be fine. Also to add a car plate number with 8s also. If that really works then there will be no need to work hard now is there?

On another note, in ST today there is a report on the 4th batch of SMU students. Nearly all of them are landing jobs within 6 months. Get this! Their starting pay is $3,040. A 6.7% increase from Class of 06. There is more. Top 20% are getting starting salaries of $5,600! And the best is yet to come. The top 12% or 69 of the ex-students are earning between $4k - $10k!!! 10K! Wah. Freshshee leh. I wonder after 1 - 2 years of working in the investment banking, management consulting line when they get their increment bonus etc. They will be taking home like what 11K? 12K , 13 or 14 maybe 15K... And here I was thinking that a the economy is taking a downturn. Two-thirds got two to more than 10 job offers. Well the employment survey is done by the university themselves with 87% of the students responding or 618 out of the 711 students.

Accuracy you ask? I wonder...
