Wah.....that time if the year but this year is different. We got 21 Dec 2012....to see what will happen. The mayan thingy.....ha ha. Well....I have set my sight on Wilmar and Yanlord. Mastered a nice six figures sum to bet on these two from now till the Chinese New Year. I wish myself "GOOD LUCK" ha ha

I am on my last lap of life travel.....and time is flying pass-by fast. I am fine as I am getting ready for the next lap. Now...it is already August and very soon we will be celebrating National Day again.

Times fly.....now my hobby is prawning. That would be the last thing I would have done said 5 years ago but having tried it with the family, I find it to be quite fun but quite costly here too. So....during my off days, can easily find me at the Prawn and fish Ponds at Punggol.

As we get older.....the day passes faster, so it seem ha ha. POWER.....that is life.

Birthday is the coming Sunday....27 May, man.....now going into my senior years ha ha. And outlook also changed.

Time flies

haha.....yes, time flies. Already 16 Feb and soon.....the month is over!

Happy 2012 to all

Wah....2011 is gone and now it is already in 2012. Guessed time flies faster when a person gets older ha ha.

Thankful to be alive

Wah....down with cold and cough for the past 3 weeks and it got worst lately esp since Sunday. Now it is the sinus that got me. So...since today is the start for my 4 rest days, I have decided to have a complete rest to recover just as the doctor recommended me to do.

Investment

Got burnt...at stock and forex market, so for now just gotto keep a low profile and recover my capital first before looking at having another "go" at investing.

Work

The best thing for me....is my work at Menicon. Yes, busy and tiring but it keeps me "ALIVE".

Can't be thankful enough to my bosses Mr Ian and Mr Goh for hiring me. Guessed I must have done some good deeds in my younger days and GOD is looking after me.

Yes....working actually kept me "sane" too. Make my relationship with my family "better" in a way too.

All in....I am just thankful to be employed by and work with the "BEST BOSSES" ever. May they be blessed with good health and long life. Amen!

End of the world is near

Looking at things happening lately....just cannot help to think something seriously will be happening soon. Not the good ones but the bad ones.

Can't help to notice that when it rains....it rains like no tomorrow. Yes, like all hell breaks loose. Flood here and there even in Singapore, not too long ago....remembered the leaders were saying flood happened once 50 yrs but now...what happen?

The stock and forex market.....dropping like no tomorrow too. Lucky Me....
just to lose a fair penny only, not the whole lot. Still....things are not looking good. More shocks to come!

Health....yes, more aches and pains. Guessed that got to do more with ageing than other issues. Oh....durian season, so got cough, flu and cold easily.

Just think back of the prediction regarding 2012. Well....still got a bit of time to make myself happy if this 2012 thingy is for REAL.

So....have fun and don't look back and regret!

Back to work

Been busy with my new job at Menicon.....the best things are it is the same team pattern of work. 3/4 days per week....I meant for me that will be working in the night shift.

The only setback is the distance to work....esp the traffic to and from work during the week days.

Had the best bosses ever....so I am counting my blessing.

The chiam see from Kuang Imm ( waterloo temple ) was perfect. So thanks to the GODs and angels that are helping me out.

On last Sunday - chaim for job hunting

Went to Waterloo Temple to pray...1st of Lunar 3rd month, so fast! And I asked for a chaim....got one No 8 which is a good omen. It is about a old pine tree...which get better and stronger as it's ages. So for now, just gotto hang-on tight and wait out for the best job. Once come....grab it and move on with on.

Went about my insurance thingy....and I'm doing the servicing of my clients and talking to them to keep myself busy.

For trading.....not in the picture so, low profile for now! Not in good position to stomach any loss.

6th April

Supposed to take-over the resale flat so that I can work on it before shifting in by before end of May, but something serious happened. One of the sellers passed away and becoz they bought the flat under tenancy-in-common they need a letter of probate before they can transfer the deeds over to me. Meanwhile....I am Fucked! luckily managed to have their understanding that I can shift in by end of this month of instead of waiting for the whole legal progress to complete the sales. That save me the trouble to seek loss of use of flat ( can claim interest of 10% of value of flat which is about 4K per month ). Already people is widow...so no point to push my luck to gain anything. Bad karma if I do that!

So now....blinked blinked and wait for the lawyer to get the legal paper and complete the whole progress.

Meanwhile...looking for job, have already sent more than 20 resumes out during the time I am back till now. A about a week! Yes, have heard from a couple headhunter companies and they have short-list my name for a couple of companies. So...just gotto wait for call to interview. They are mainly from big MNC and esp for their night shift operation which is in my scope.

Many things have changed since my last blog

Yes....but in the end, life moves on. For example....now I am jobless but I do have 2 jobs offered. I rejected one for MBS due to super low pay while the other is a new thing to me so I am holding out for something I am similar with. Manufacturing line.

Holiday

Going to US till end of month....good to walk away from trading for awhile to reflect on things before deciding whether to continue to keep low profile or go all out.

Rich/Poor divide in Spore

Time for the leaders to wake up if they still think they are doing a great job governing singapore.

Yes...for the rich ( 5% ), they are doing a great job becoz only the rich will get even more richer. Same for our leaders.

For the poor ( 20% )....too bad, this lot of people can go to hell or go over to Malaysia or Indonesia to live out your life as they don't matter at all to our leaders.

For those in the middle ( 75% )....well, we will train you to be in the service lines eg taxi drivers, guards, waiters, cooks once you got yourself "retrenched" from your manufacturing line.

Btw we have already allowed the population to grow by 25% by giving out the new citizenship and PR to 1+ million people.....eg pinoy, indon, indians, chinese, ang mo, malaysian and whoever has the money.

My personal view....yes, it is a wonderful place to live esp if you are rich as you have personal safety and whatever money can buy to live in Singapore. For the poor,
sorry.....better think of up-grading or go live somewhere else. For those in-between, don't sell your flat...always to ready for re-training and up-grading to do whatever job and vote for PAP or else!

Monday's Stock market

Well, as expected.....most markets "tanked" due to what is happening in middle east plus the fact by the "DROP" is US Dow last friday.

Hope the situation will stablised soon then the stock markets can calmed down too.

Only fear....of things happening in the Middle East

After seeing the news of what is happening in the Middle East....I have only fear that this may get out of control and cause great suffering to the people there.

Hope people will calm down and rethink what is happening and take a more peaceful way to work out their issues with the governments there.

Frankly I can understand what they are going thru....all the hardships and injustice but still I hope cooler heads can raise up to lead the people and settle the situations there before all hell break loose.
