Blogging on Sunday afternoon.....

It is hot like hell out there....So I decided to stay in and blog a bit...









Well, first thing off....I need to get myself a camera. Seriously, I think i cannot go on like that blogging without getting a thin and easily portable camera. I think its time to return to the technical pages on the Internet and see what is both GOOD, QUALITY and ECONOMICAL...sorry, its not both but all. I want to carry a camera around and snap lots of pics, and dun get into trouble with some jealous guy....Hahaha....Power Shots are big, so i may look at IXUS.









Hmm...My company will announce if I am getting ANY bonus somewhere in mid-May, but I won't see the whites of the cash until end of June.

US economy ain't that good, but still there were still a hosts of companies that reported better than expected earnings. I hope mine is one of them. Darn it....I NEED THE MONEY!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!.....












Talking about that (money that is), I cannot imagine how some of the managers in my company managed to get houses in high end residential areas like Minden Heights. I mean, I can hardly make ends meet, and my belt is like tighten until my top looks like my bottoms and yet I am still short of money. How did they manage it?













I think I need to have better investment know how. My current technique will allow my portfolio to grow, but at a very meagre 10-20% a year. And I don't spend that money. So now the question is "How to spend money and yet at the same time make money to replace the money you have spent and still have enough to save?" Anyone got any ideas?? I need to study better, or become a Mutual Fund Adviser. Advise myself and save on the commissions. Hmm....











So I went out over to Borders to look at some books, I got myself Fortune & Time Combo with Warren Buffet's take on the current economic situation. Also I got a Thomas L. Friedman book called The World is Flat. I will read that after finishing First, Break All the Rules. Hopefully some of this will help me understand current problems. I also got a copy of Personal Money advising on how to stay alive with the current rising prices. How lah? Food price up? Petrol price up? Stuff price up? Everything price up except my salary...... :(











I did open the Gold Investment Account on Friday. Hope it will do well. It must have been pretty good, cause when it reached our turn (a friend and mine), they had ran out of passbooks. So apparently this must have been one of the most popular investment feature in Public Bank. Apparently, they keep their passbooks in a timelock safe. I wonder why? I mean you don't have to right? After all, nobody can print anything if they are not part of Public Bank right? Or am I wrong? Anyway, they told me to go back there at 3pm. That's what I did, and I got myself my GIA Passbook. Gold was down to USD888/oz.

CF asked if I liked to use vulgar words. :_I said that I did not use them in front of her because I respected her and I would NEVER use them in anger towards her. Then she said something like "I like a man who uses those words" and I was thinking, "Well, you'll never hear me use them in front of you. I got more respect for you than juz spewing out 4 letter Eff words." Only if she read this blog...Sorry girl, no EFF word in front of you. :)

You can see the difference between the blogs.....When i am not frustrated not a single FcUk will be seen.....(That one just 4 words back was for example). But when my nerves are touched, I get frustrated and if it is all ridiculous reasons, its NO HOLDS BARRED....Just like Raja Petra's site.

Tomorrow, Parliament opens. It will be best to stay home for the morning half just in case there are too many cross overs resulting in the Pakatan Rakyat forming the Federal Government. I do not think that will happen, but I will keep two ears and two eyes out for any news. I will go to work as usual, but hope that the Parliament opening will proceed as usual.
