Last last they also need to learn how to support themselves as this can't go on forever. <BR/><BR/>Wonder why we don't have any social services here?Nonnie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599241249013377152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25603154.post-66308685262827231262007-12-04T22:52:00.000+08:002007-12-04T22:52:00.000+08:00It's very true that Brunei service are a lot bette...It's very true that Brunei service are a lot better than Miri one and not to mention the restaurant are cleaner. Just like the KFC i went to at the Miri old town area, it's very smelly inside probably due to the rat pee cos can hear the mouse running here and there up the ceiling.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad bout being a bad host nonnie, definitely must belanja them next time in Miri.

Would still think of getting loan to satisfy their desire rather than thinking about the kids' education.<BR/><BR/>I have come across that in real life, they don't have fix income. They do odd jobs here and there to get money but yet when they have money, they either buy unnecessary gadget or go for drug. They are expecting their other families members to take care of their children. Sad but it's truth story.<BR/><BR/>The government is helping in certain degree with few criteria. The family can either go to the religious welfare or BABDA(not sure of the spelling) to request for further financial help. This is applicable for muslim only. But not all know that they can get help as no one actually guide them. <BR/><BR/>We don't really have social services that is actually active (due to the lack of staffing) that can tackle these matters.Drifting Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129044265359189477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25603154.post-62631011865855274272007-12-03T21:57:00.000+08:002007-12-03T21:57:00.000+08:00Drifting Cloud : That one they cari sendiri one.

I really can't imagine.<BR/><BR/><B>Teddy</B> : Singapore is the size of Belait, the district I live in. But the thing is, 70% of Brunei is covered with forest, so you can see how big is our developed area.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, if the parents spoil their kids like that, next time also they themselves suffer.<BR/><BR/><B>SL</B> : Hai...

Whenever I go shopping nowadays (after the major National Examinations and A Levels) I keep bumping into my schoolmates and classmates! LOL! Maybe because everyone is shopping for our promenade night, and since there isn't many shops around Singapore selling things we really want, so we tend to bump into each other that often!<BR/><BR/>Anyway the last few points of your posts makes a lot of sense! I can't bear the sight of unsatisfied children nagging their parents to buy the latest PSP or Nintendo Wii while being completely, blithely unaware that there are more than 1 billion people on earth who lives on less that US$1 per day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25603154.post-81294405834421570992007-12-02T16:16:00.000+08:002007-12-02T16:16:00.000+08:00Nonnie,What you see is very common nowadays in Bru...Nonnie,<BR/><BR/>What you see is very common nowadays in Brunei. If that family still have $280 to spend, guess they are lucky. Some even with both parents earning decently but still unable to meet the daily household requirements due to those loan they have engaged in. Also the lack of knowledge in financial planning had lead to all these. Quite upset to learn all these. People are actually living in debts nowadays, most of them.Drifting Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129044265359189477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25603154.post-49870036159883718712007-12-02T07:04:00.000+08:002007-12-02T07:04:00.000+08:00Ing Siang : Nah see.. proud lor that ChungSun, say...<B>Ing Siang</B> : Nah see.. proud lor that ChungSun, say Hi also don't want.
