updates

pai seh, long time no blog.
wet weather, a bit moody.

was at bugis after last week rehearsal and saw this cake.

it is said to be the tallest wedding cake.
normally, in wedding, the wedding cake is fake 1 lor. only a small section is made of 'changeable sponge' for the couple to cut.

next, i went to suntec. was a bit surprise to see a parade there. it seems that after or during NDP, there is a mini parade for some of the guests.

market not doing good in short terms, beware.
SGD is getting a bit weak. conversion to USD drop from 1.5046 (july 24) to 1.5153
i think u all more interested in TWD, June 22 was 0.047. currently it stands at 0.046

wrong line

There is a saying 'ladies scare marry wrong guy, guys scare join wrong line.
I think i am 1 of those... who join wrong line

A report sayings that among the 55 best-paid executives of STI companies, engineers feature prominently among the big earners. 17 of the 55 executives graduated with engineering degrees.

Science degree holders, with 12 of them making this list and some of these might be specialised in engineering - with most engineering degrees being BSc.

As a group, accounting, business administration, economics and commerce graduates made up 11 of the top 55.

Arts graduates took 2 positions on the list. Doctor and lawyer took 2 posting

Some of you might know that i am an engineering-turn-accounts background. With only 20% making up to this list, it looks a bit disappointing.
Of cause, it's not stated which engineering field the CEOs are from. But with engineers as top earners, if u have such background. I think u will be motivated better.

At first, i thought BBA might have more ppl as the title is more of an administrative title but engineers top this list. I think 1 reason could be this list likely have more property-related companies as they are doing quite well this few yrs.

Anyway, Jia You for my ACCA and be CEO!!!

late

i hate late comers

although once i angry for a while, i will forget abt the incident but these type of ppl r difficult to be pardoned.

YY jio me go orchard a few yrs ago. Tat time, i got pager while he got hp and pager.
We are supposed to meet at 2pm. At 2.30pm, i called his hp and he told me that he is on his way. Guess wat... He just slammed his door.

At least give a msg that u are late lah... then i stood there like animal in cage for ppl to see for 2 hrs for nothing... waste my time leh...

not the first time lor...

a few weeks later, he did it again.

a few month later, i finally got a hp. i tot i could be reached by then. Guess wat... He lated for 1 hr without calling to inform me

I JUST CANT STAND LATECOMERS ESP LATE WITHOUT TELLING.
thus u will see me msg ppl even if i will be late for 5min

HeritageFest

The festival is in Suntec.
I thought that the stage wont be ready til wed as there is a food festive ended yesterday.
Anyway the opening ceremony is on wed by Dr Lee Boon Yang, Minister of Arts.
We are pleased to be performing there on fri @ abt 6.30pm.

Not sure of the cast but we doing "Qian Nv".
Duration, i think its abt 1/2hrs, so that we wont delay dinner time (talk cock).
Program of the day is not out when i visit the site.

Hope that u will come...
As for 走音王子，not sure if he is singing

bishan -fyq

was very curious how fei yu qing managed to sing high keys.
qiuyue said something like 'he will lift up his neck when he sing high'. so today, being bo liao, as usual, i went over to see his autograph session.

i had another objective also. to see the listeners-friends whom i made with before i join opera.

At 4, he turned out with his signuature xi zhuang. Hey! i wear xi zhuang out not because of him... juz tat sometimes, the weather is cold. sometimes, i lazy to take out.
the crowd is full of aunties.

After his singing, he will have some dirty / lame jokes as usual.
Linzhi: Heard u got quite a few properties here. No wonder u feel urself a home here.
FYQ: ppl like to ask funny things. even got ppl ask if i am a virgin.

an auntie got a badge on her blouse. FYQ even sign on it. (its was not taken out)

Unlike 5566 and SHE autograph sessions which i attended years ago, there isnt much screams. in short, its different from their sessions.

anyway, happy birthday to him on 17th july!

new investor

this article is only IN MY OPINION.

weijie called me for a drink @ 8.30 while i was in bugis area. the beautiful thing abt me is... Sui Chuan Sui Dao.

He jio me go Viliage for his dinner. (did i spell it wrongly?)

and intro me this black beer

he asked me abt some questions abt investment as he is interested.

Overall, i think u must have money, guts and patience.

Nowadays ah pek anyhow buy to earn easy money thus u must know how to exit to void these ah pek.

1) Guts - my brother got lots of them... He had been doing 3 days contra these few days. He does not have much capital but i believe he made abt 1k - 2k within this week.

2) Patience - If u buy something at high price, u need to have the patience to wait for the price to go up again. Else u will sell at loss

3) Money - in the event, u dont think the share is making money or contra failure, u must have money to cover up.

Things to take note while investing.
1) Is the share been speculate?
2) What is ur target growth / period of investment?
3) Is there any sector which is ur favorite?

Eg.
1) There could be internal news running but u dont know. Do u wanna try to take the risk? Is there bad news, like profit warning upcoming?

2) What is ur growth / period ratio? Eg. U intend to earn 5% within 3 mth

3) Normally if u in a sector, u will prefer to buy things in the sector.
Eg. I am in the computer line / i like gauges and computers, i may prefer shares like Creative, Brilliance, Microsoft (US), or even Apple (US).

Ultimately, its depend on ur risk.
Shares are for high risk ppl.
Contra-ing shares is for high risk ppl with lots of guts and yan guang + time

Shares is quite tiring lor. A bad report from all over the whole world, may affect your price. Who knows... Another 911 occur somewhere... or GDP says its a good yr

If u are middle risk, i advise u go for unit trust.
If u are low / no risk, keep in bank and earn 0.25% interest/yr

saving

i reading an article entitling
'Save = Earn - Expenses or Earn - Save = Expenses'

in practically, both looks the same but there are some difference.

the former states that you spend whatever u want in the beginning of the month. Whatever balance is your saving. ( i am here)

the latter requires u to do a budget. Cos u only got $X for the month to spend.

i wont know wat expenses i am expecting except for standards such as

Dec - subscriptions / memberships
Feb - Course fee
March - exam fee
July - Insurance
Aug - Course fee
Sept - Exam fee

Dont think that these fees are cheap... my ACCA course already cost me abt $2k per yr. That works out to be my 1.8 mth net salary!
The insurance is another killer almost 1/2 mth gone like tat.

opera and singing class not included in this list... it works out another 3/4 mth!

With 3 mths salary locked, its difficult for me to enjoy life...

if i locked my saving before expenses, then u wont see me outside liao. Cos i got no budget for entertainment

i got an accountant. she earned $5k/ mth and she telling me that she dont have money. wanna know how she spend?
She locked 2mth salary into insurance. Other expenses include 4mths into car. I was in her place for audit 3 days. Guess wat she eat? Call Pizza, Fried Chicken, etc...

IF that type of ppl is call no money. Then wat am i? Beggar...

Anyway, i think if u are able to do a budget. Save before u spend. Its a wiser move. But dont forget to pamper yourself with new pc, hp, etc... On condition that its within your budget

approval

after 1.5 yr learning opera, my mom finally says ok!!!

she told me tat after watching zhen jia dai fu.

its funny lor.

1)in the show, i dont really act much.
i meant if i act a middle role, and she is proud of my performance, ok lah.
but i doing small role with no speech at all.

2) costume. there are quite a few new costumes out but aunties like shiny shiny costumes mah. i think only teacher's costumes are shiny, the rest are normal. so wat attract her attention?

3) cast. there isnt much change in casting except yuzhen, baohua and joanne. she heard xin en and ms tan sang before. except for 1 guy who yet sing, wat is new?
i meant if she is attracted to anyone's singing (with exception of teacher's), she would given approval while watch shou zhu.

4) music. only difference is this time got gongs.

beside some usual questions, u know wat she asked me after the show...
'Can u go to the stage and sing with Xin Sai Hong?'

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE. i not up to standard yet... i still p.c. abt my singing

seven wonder 8/7/07

the unofficial seven wonder is recently released. i had no objection to the list except for one.. Brazil's Statue of Christ the Redeemer.
I am wondering wat is so wonder abt this attraction?

its built on Mount Corcovado over 5 yrs. to me, its just a statue.

if u look at the others,
Chichen Itza (Mexico) built in 500AD
Machu Picchu (Peru) built unknown when
Coliseum (Italy) Built by Roman Empire
Petra (Jordan) and Great Wall built over 2000 yrs ago
Taj Mahal, 17th Century

In terms of project, these are much bigger in scale and cost.
In terms of history, wat is a 1930s statue compare to them?

Its puzzled why the pyramid is missed out.

anyway the vote is by computer and its not 1 person 1 vote. So... hack it...

weekend hideout

being bo liao, i been hiding in music stores and books stores for the weekend. not exactly hiding lah... got nothing to do mah...

went to kina and saw a super long queue... although GSS is over, long queues are still queueing in places where there are great stuff...

next i went to hmv to see the latest albums on the shelf. hm... the last album tat i had is yang jing's. think i bought tat abt 2 yrs ago... there is another album which i got but its yet release in the market. so i wont mention much first.
to go hmv, i definately will search for yuki's album. guess wat... all of her albums had been removed from shelf.

i looked high and low, even the discount section also cant find any. i think i had been a weirdo among my friends. i am the only one who like yuki and is the only one who like opera.
of cos, i managed to find a group of ppl who also like yuki and another group who love opera.

there are ppl who asked y i like these. actually i also dont know y.

i took the bus home and alight at JE. went to popular and again, yuki's albums had been removed. so sad

still have to survive another lonely weekend...

midyr toto

the draw will be conducted tomorrow @ 9.30pm... so buy before 9pm. the est price is abt $5.8million

i was queueing in bugis after window shopping when i saw Cheers booth still open. so i went to quick pick some numbers.

a young couple was in front of me. as i was queueing, the group of ah pek also started to queue behind me.

when its the couple's turn, we had a big laugh.

the couple took 3 tickets for the auntie to key into the system but it was rejected.
Auntie said 'u all never buy toto before ah? its not written this way'

How they write...

the ticket got 6 boxes of 45 numbers.
the couple know that the min no. to buy is 6 for 50cents
so....

they draw 1 number in 6 boxes.

the uncles behind me was wondering wat's going on and they started laughing when saw the tickets.

1 july 2007

today is a very expensive day.

not to mention abt youth day, saf day and hk returning to china day. i looking more of the gst increase, scv and net charges increase.

we know that rental had increased this 2 years. business is getting more and more difficult to do. if the rental increased from $3,000 to $5,000, with GST increase. this will work out an increase of $2,200. Again consumer get to 'absorb' the increase.

Nets increased their charges also. some retails may transfer this increase to consumer. This will work out abt 3% increase.

ur house SCV also increase lor...

overall, its expensive to stay here...

those who wanna married or buy house, better do so early...
