Yes....another 27 headcounts were released tonight after another 14 last month but from the look of things....will be having the 3rd round of RIF after the coming CNY.
Still having an asscess of 40 headcounts with the present output.
At least....this batch of headcount seem to be pretty "happy" to go. Well....must say that most of the released ones actually wanted to go. WIN-WIN mah...that is the best for all. Well....another 30% of my headcounts still would want to go if paid.
4D....no luck lei. Frankly...just live aimlessly at the moment without much confident of the future.

Still continue with being an AIA agent
Still no change for this....as my bosses do not allow me to resign from my job after nearly 20 years. And also due to my other activities.....like working in Seagate, now just have to be "on the ball". Worst thing happened....pay cut by 10%
The shitty thing is that I put in 3+ years to have an increase of 10% and in one quick move....I am back to sq one. The worst thing is that....still cannot confirmed about no retrenchment for us esp after suffering the pain of having to have a pay cut.

POWER of Kuang Imm's chiam see
YES.....super power accurate esp for the stock market thingy. Last post...still showing a profit of $876 but now after the loss for Raffles Edu of $538 and paper loss for Fibrechem of 5 cents x 50 lots.
For the coming new year thing....one thing for sure is that don't have the usual problem of forcing people to come back to work during this period. For once.....
leave for the Chinese is not an issue in fact....have to get more people to go on leave since the order is being cut.
This CNY eve dinner will be at MIL's place. Last year....due to old man's passing away we were banned from doing any visiting. Hahaha....cannot escaped doing so this year.
For the flat thing....still don't have an offer close to my expectation, so gotto lower down the cash portion. Really have to settle the issue fast since the valuation report is only going to be valid till Feb. So far....the valuation for HDB is still holding up only the cash portion has dropped.
For 4D...no luck lor. Same goes for toto too.

chiam see time again.....hehehe
Well...again kena no 75 after a few times of no-go at the Waterloo temple this morning. Have to slow talk to Kuang Imm....that I valued her chiam see and see it as a guide to my whole month's advice.
For 75....here it goes, like a man going up a steep mountain with a tiger for company. For that....there shall be always fear and danger at all times as one
cannot predict what the tiger may do anytime. The good thing for me....is that
due to past good deeds, I will be safe and will reached the mountain top as the
gods will protect me for harm. The advice is not to take any risk....and to be
alert to any danger and to act accordingly fast.
Yes...I do feel "sad and disappointed" to get this chiam see but on hind sight maybe it is a good thing. Let's look ahead...and to see the tree for the wood. Things may
be less stressful for myself and being happy, that too can be a great thing to have.
Happy in the sense of being care-free about not losing any more money to the stock market and having it in the bank accounts.
Btw....since the mid of last month, I have started to invest my last lot of money and
I am having sleep problems almost everyday. Sell too early....and I cursed myself for making less, hold and end-up with a bigger paper loss and again I cursed myself for being greedy. For the market....just cannot really see the trend of it. And what I bought again may not to good buys....the same old tired PRC shares. Up 1 cent and down 2 cents again.....up/down/up/down. hahaha.
After about 2 weeks of maddness....I am in the profit for only 876 with nearly 30K
of money invested plus the many sleepless time and worry. So....looking at the chiam see I am not surprised but really felt "enlighten" by it. Still got 50 lots of FiberChem and 20 lots of Raffles Edu which I have not pay up yet and the due date will be the next couple of trading days. Already both showing a paper loss of more than the money I made. SHIT lor.

Victims of meltdowns
Well....lately got to see a few super rich people killing themselves due to the above. Not that they lost everything they had or have....more of they cannot tahan they are impacted by the sudden slowdown. This sort of things hardly happen in good times.
Then talk about the normal regular Joe....what to do but to tighten the belts and make do with less. Eat less....buy less....holiday less. Less....will be the catch words.
In times like this....almost everyone can feel the impact, even the less will feel so becoz they will have to make do with even more LESS lor, but the rich will really kena the most impact. They never have to think or worry about expenses....now they must keep an eye out for it.
Me...have stopped buying the funny stuff and also cut down on the 4D and toto. For shares...super careful, no more 100 or 200 lots order. At best...in & out with 10% margin, so to keep it manageable.
Also stopped...."envy" others' big cars, beautiful gfs/wives, personal stuffs. Just be happy with what I had. Have stopped thinking about sex....if needed just self-service lor by keeping it simple, safe and free ( also got chance to practice my imagination hehehe )

now....looking forward to better times since we're in 2009
ya....no point looking back to 2008 at what went wrong. really....it has already gone. for most people....seem to be impacted in one way or the other, some even more worst off than myself. i should be counting on my lucky stars....or should i not?
anyway....since now is already 3/1/2009, just hope to get my bearing right and things will fall into places for me. if not....then there is always plan A to D....then still got plan E to H. Of course....last one is plan M for Mati lor hehehe.
Guess that is still a long way off....as now is still on plan A.
for the moment...things are looking okay or not much changes yet. but things can move fast....really! one should always to ready and prepare for action and be on the toe at any moment.
Happy New Year for all....cheers!!

Back to work....Sat 3/1
hahaha...first day at work for the new year 2009. anyway for just one night then rest for the next 3 days.
well...the situation at work still the same....with the same old rumour about retrenchment and all. for myself....i have got myself mentally prepared and expected the worst and i think i will be okay with it. i have sort of prepared for other outlets....eg i won't be quiting my insurance job for the moment. and maybe stepping up my profile if i really kena the "chop".
yes...also spending all the times bonding with my wife and more appreciated the time together even without the screwing part. maybe due to my flu thing....don't seem to miss the screwing also....my bro also hardly "stand". maybe also that i hardly go out with the bros....i am not thinking of women. find it true that friends do have a big impact on one's thinking. now...with more time at home, i became addicted to korean dramas hahaha and it is a good thing. spending less....time and money outside.
options....frankly i do have a few options open for me. Plan A - to continue at Seagate and keep job at AIA. Plan B - kena "chop" at Seagate and step up with AIA and lookout for another full-time job. Plan C - take the benefit and start life in KL....makan shop at my sis's place by myself. Plan D - or go to US and work for my brother in his shop ( maybe go fuck some ang mo girls too ) since he has been asking me to help him as his business is doing well in resession....dealing in hardware mah.
Most likely....for now i shall be looking at Plan B until maybe my family settled down in the new place. supposed to sell off my flat....then to get a rented condo near ngee ann poly for the sake of my kid and wife ( they will be attend class there starting next intake )and also to clear up whatever debt i had.
