范玮琪 - 是非题

This song is my current favourite. I find that the lyrics of this song is very meaningful. There is always a thin line between a friend and the person you love, and it is always very hard to say it out.

每段故事都有一篇剧情
每段爱情都像动人旋律
一颗真心却只向着你前进
也许爱 越单纯越着迷

你是窗外另外一片风景
在你眼里我是什么关系
你的呼吸藏在我的爱情里
何时能诚实面对自己

我们从不开口那个言语 那一句我爱你
永远像少了勇气
别人都说
我和你之间的关系
没有人相信只有关心
我们从不正视那个问题
那一些是非题
总让人伤透脑筋
我会期待
爱情盛开那一个黎明
一定会有美丽的爱情

I have to score full marks for my macro exam!

I feeling like buying...

A Toyota Vios! It is quite cheap for a second hand car. For $30k you can drive it home. Well, even though I might have the capability to buy now if i pay by installment (which will fully stretch my budget), I still want to wait till I graduate, have a stable job, before even thinking of getting my own car. Why?

1. I listen to my humble sister, who told me that work for a year and save up more first before even thinking of getting a car. Of course I listen to her!

2. I know the importance of keeping cash, especially given the current situation, where there are lots of opportunities around.

3. A car is a liability and not an asset! :) I need to find ways to generate passive cashflow before getting a car

So, 3 more years to my metal horse!

Some thoughts on current situation

I still remembered clearly during the wedding dinner which I have attended at the beginning of this year, I had a discussion with my officers and seargents when I was serving NS. They were asking for my opinion about the economic situation at that time. I told them that time that it was better to keep cash rather than doing any form of investments. Some of them were still quite optismistic that time and argued that sectors such as marine and constructions are still doing well and it's still safe to invest in them.

What they don't know is that the real industry performance lags economic performance. Now the real impact of the economy on all sectors are starting to show. Hopefully their investments are not affected in any form.

Singapore Mugging University + Vacation dream

I'm in school now typing this blog, and time now is still 10.45am. It's crazy now that the library is filled with muggers. I bet some of them didn't even bother to go home as now the library is open 24 hours. Well, I still go home though because I want my bed:).

Seems like I have got quite a number of things to do during this coming vacation, I can name a few now first (confirmed ones)

1) Cookie learning session
2) Wii Party
3) M5 test
4) Sell Macs
4) Meeting up with sec. school and poly friends
5) Thailand trip
6) Attending sis's ROM and looking for her present
7) Christmas celebrations

Can't wait for the exams to finish now, even though I'm still not fully prepared:(

Perhaps a bit of stock market updates. Still don't look good, with all the companies (especially the automobile industry now) ranting for help and rescue package. Banks are still coming out with bad news and downgrading of companies. STI might be visiting 1500 soon. I would recommend buy on those nice blue chips like Noble, Olam (I love commodities!), Yanlord, Cosco (China is still growing, so no worry), SGX, Singel (For the steady flow of dividends). Buy these stocks and keep for long term (like what our sg govt does) and you should see substantial returns. (For reference only, do not strictly follow)

Updates!

Hi all! For those who have been wondering where am I for these past few months, well basically I have been busy with a lot of things. Work and school are my focus now. Relationship wise...well I guess I will leave it to fate to decide. I have done all I can, but I will not give up and continue to give whatever I can.

Exams next week, I think I will not do well again this semester as I strive to do so before the beginning of the semester. Well, still the same old theory - try your best and who knows maybe you might reap very good results.

I told Aveline that I have lost the drive that I used to have during my Poly days, which was to study and study only aiming to get into university. I think now I have lost my focus, maybe it's time that I should stop and think what I really want.

STI is stagnanted now with so little fluctuations and volume. Seems like wave 3 should be here anytime soon (Maybe jan 2009 onwards). Get ready for a raliy!
