Things that bother me at night

1) Happy (Not) Niu Year

The year of the ox. I wonder why I didn't predict in some sort of super damn big picture way that 2009 is the year of the bad. Of recessions, of retrenchments, of pay cuts, of everything bad. Even if the Singapore budget helps our employers in subsidizing 12% of the first $2,500 salary of every CPF-contributing employee, who wouldn't want to keep additional money from reduced operational cost for themselves instead of passing that on to employees? Especially those companies who retrench, force their employees to take unpaid leave or had their employees take a pay cut?

I am quite sure that when the Chinese New Year festivities are over, more jobs will be lost in Singapore. More people retrenched, more hire freeze announced, more companies closing down, more companies announcing pay cuts of all sorts. 

2) Why is tomorrow Monday again?!

Sigh. Don't mind me. I am having severe monday blues today. SEVERE. I think it could be attributed largely to the late night I put in yesterday (watching korean drama - Witch Yoo Hee).

3) Ants

Ants are super industridious erm, insects. They carry stuff 20 times their body weight and I've watched a group of ants "charter" an entire piece of broken biscuit with much amusement. Ants are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. So I wonder, erm, what happens when one ant is separated from it's colony?

I was a mischievous kid. When I saw the trail of ants forming along a little line on a cupboard, table or wall, I would swipe a finger across it and see these ants getting lost and a bit confused. So that was where the part about what happens to lost ants?

When they find another colony, do they just get accepted or do they get killed?

Things that bug (pun intended) me.
