Please help here...not that you really need to...

Normally, I do not enjoy posting 2 entries a day.
It makes it look as if I have nothing else better to do, which is the truth though.
But anyway, my friend told me to help her out with a survey.
And...normally, I do not go the extra mile to help people.


But since she said that "it was nice bumping into you the other day in NUS" and "we should catch up sometime"(FTW) with a smilie face and she is a girl(mainly because she is a girl), I will help her ask people to do surveys.

This link is for males: http://www.surveymethods.com/EndUser.aspx?93A5DBC895D6C7C098D9
This link is for the ladies: http://www.surveymethods.com/EndUser.aspx?F6C0BEADF0B3A2A5FDB7

I don't really know if anybody really reads this blog, but if you do and decide to do the survey, please comment this entry with an "aye!". I'm just curious to know how many people really can be bothered to do it. If you don't have a account, you can always comment as an anonymous identity. Please do so because its all that matter to me. (I like that line...I took it from one of my favourite youtube channels)

Why so excited?

Erm...with regards to my last entry...
A friend asked me..."hahahah y u so excited!"

This was my reply...every new line represents a new line...duh...names have been censored and replaced by generic names to protect the identities of these individuals.

"no reason...just excited cos normally my life does not involve much girls
erm...lets evaluate my weekly interaction with girls
in EE, I only know 2 female friends...1 of them sometime i see her in the bus then i go home with her...the other only say hello and bye bye
then one week...at most interact with that one
sometimes i meet random girls from the past and talk generic stuff with them...like "what are you studying now" and "how is life in school"
erm...so on the average, during the weekdays...I talk to about 3-4 girls(inflated value)
weekends...erm...i go school with brain and da niu...so no girl...unless sunday you eat lunch with me, MorMakMorMakMor and JEAN YIP ***** REN, otherwise i also never talk to girls
once in a while my friend who we also know as X goes online and i talk to her...but she very busy
so effectively i only talk to about 5 girls a week...so when i met her i very excited..."

Sorry for the censoring, I don't want to disclose too much information...not yet...
MorMakMorMakMor, JEAN YIP ***** REN, Da niu and brain are all guys...so don't misunderstand.

Well, having said all that its not really true because today during my Singapore Studies tutorial, I made 3 friends(female friends). Their names have been also removed to protect their identity. The issue is not their names, its that by making 3friends, the population of girls I know in NUS has just jumped a large percentage... erm...I think its at least 3-5 percent(maybe less than that I like to exaggerate).

Well, its not only that which I'm excited about. I also satisfied because I just satisfied my craving for lasagne. So nice...I stopped at Pizza Pazza just now for some Lasagne...so tasty...hehe...

Well, thats not all that exciting compared to this week's Shounen Jump.
On One Piece, Luffy freed Ace and they are battling their way through the marines.
These two awesome people form the perfect duo. Trashing through marines...must see!!!
Then Whitebeard does the manliest thing again...GO READ IT YOURSELF...NO SPOILERS!!!

Then on NARUTO...Sasuke defeats Danzo...I thought they might drag it a little longer. Good thing they ended the fight. It was getting too long. Anyway, Danzo took Karin as a hostage and it looks like Sasuke sacrificed Karin to kill Danzo by shooting a Chidori through Danzo's heart. Well, there is a lot to speculate.
Did Sasuke kill Danzo? Or was that just a genjutsu?
Will Karin die? Sasuke told Karin not to move, it is because he calculated that he could shoot through her without killing her?
Why is Sasuke such an asshole,breaking a lovely maiden's heart...BY KILLING HER!!! Damn you Sasuke!!!

Then on Bleach...Aizen is Unstoppable...Monster Kill...God-like...
Kind of like this video below

And then Gin is back...finally back. They ain't giving him enough screen time...erm...maybe I should call it manga time...Tousen made his appearance and died. Nothing really happened to Gin. Gin ain't really doing anything, just giving commentary like how he always do.

Chatting up girls...FAIL!!!!

I know I'm really bad in this.
I'm always saying the wrong stuff.

So I met a JC friend today. She look a little different. She looks so pwettie...
Then again 90% of the girls in this world look pretty to me...with the 10% being witches and aunties. Yes, you discovered my greatest fear...Aunties...EEEEEEE...tell you guys another time...

So when I saw her, I was rather excited, didn't see her for so long. The last time I saw her was like I think 2-3 years back. So I was thinking about ask her what she was studying. But I was so excited that I said, "what are you doing here?" Then there was like a 3 second moment of awkwardness... lol...

Anyway, It went on fine...she is studying in NUS, in the faculty besides mine, doing her honours year. Hehe...damn...forgot to ask for her number...FAIL!!! nevermind...next time...bwahahahaha

Possessed?

I heard playing WOW was bad...but this bad?



I know its disturbing but for the fun of it pls watch the entire video.
Its either the kid is possessed or he is suffering the withdrawal symptoms of WOW.

Erm...but isn't it obvious enough that he is possessed?
The screamings...the awkward body motions...
He maybe a Worgan...maybe he was trying to transform...tranformation fail.

Did you see how fast he strip to his boxers...its super human speed.
Its so fast its evil.
Then the part where he tries to shove the remote up his ass. I am officially disturbed. I need brain soap.
Its as if its from a clip from the exorist.

Being too judgemental?

Today's sermon was John chapter 8.
The story is about how the scribes and Pharisees tried to trap Jesus when they brought in a woman who was caught in adultery. Long Story short, they question Jesus what they should follow the mosiac law and stone the woman. Jesus ignore them and wrote on the floor. Then he asked them "Let him without sin cast the first stone". Then the scribes and Pharisees left one by one until only Jesus and the woman was left.
Jesus then asked the woman, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?". The woman replied "no one, my lord" and then Jesus said "Neither do I condemn you; go and do not sin again".

I know I didn't really cut it short, I'm bad at summarising.

So anyway, the sermon was how the scribes and Pharisees was so caught up trapping Jesus and coming out of plans that they dehumanise the woman. A lot has been said about the many attempts that the Pharisees tried to challenge Jesus. Following that came a lot of condemnation of the Pharisees and the Jews. Some people even blame the Jews for Jesus's death. If you think about it Jesus is also a Jew. Oh My God I Didn't know that!!!

I guess we have been too quick to judge the Pharisees. I guess its fair to consider the Jewish society at that point of time to understand the reasons for their action. We all know that Jesus started his work at 30(its on Luke). That is about 26 - 36 C.E.

During that time, Jews were under the Roman rule. There were a lot of tensions between the Jews and the Romans. Initially, the Romans were tolerant towards the Jews, but after a while, they got annoyed. They got annoyed by the Jews not worshipping their gods because it violates the first of the ten commandments and Jewish practices such as circumcision which the romans feel that is to act as a mark of difference from other men(which they find distasteful), which is actually quite true, since the circumcision marks a Jew's convenant with God.

The Pharisees might want to avoid trouble from Roman government. To a large extent, Jesus's declaration as the messiah was challenging the existing Roman government. In my opinion, the Pharisees's insistence towards the mosiac law is to retain or protect the jewish identity. In a time where the jews were colonised by the romans and when a lot of jews were spread all around the middle east at that time. The religious leaders were probably worried that some of Jesus's teaching would dilute or diminish the mosiac law of that time, hence such persistence.

Another reason is likely that the sadducees at that time rejected the belief of the Messiah and the resurrection as they were not in the Pentateuch. The Pentateuch is the first 5 books in the Torah, also the first 5 books in the Bible also known as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. This probably explains why they were so motivated to challenge Jesus.

Happy day

I was talking to an army friend a few weeks back.
Then he made a comment. He said that he don't like Singapore girls because they like to act high class.

Oh my Gosh...How can anyone not like a Singapore girl?
They are smart, but not as smart as mainland chinese and India indian girls.
They are pretty, with the exception of 50%, which fall into the other end of the normal distribution curve.
They are friendly, without considering that a certain portion are rather snobbish.
But well, with all that is remaining, they are still extremely good stuff.

So anyway, he suddenly asked me...do you like Singapore girls?

Then I thought for a while. Actually, I didn't need to think for "a while",

The answer is Hell YES!!!

Then I thought for a while...no leh...all the singaporean girls I know all look so sian...all don't smile...
I don't think they know but a smile will brighten up anyone's day.
Looking emo just make everyone around you sad...you'd wouldn't want to do that.

Even the ugliest girl in the world will look beautiful if they smile...
Then when I think about it, its not only a girl thing, even guys don't smile. Guys who don't smile somehow fall into the category of cool and emo...Thats a +10 to their score...damn you emo guys...


In fact, most of us don't even smile on a normal basis, no wonder people say that our service standards suck...
Actually, I don't really think that its a problem. Stress level in city areas are often higher compared to other areas. So its inevitable that people look annoyed, bored, irritated and pissed off 24/7. But being too emo is bad for your health.

Emo is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.

so says the wise Yoda.
So I'll declare today, the 19 of January, Happy day.
We celebrate happy day by smiling and having happy thoughts.

Happy Happy day. Aye!!!

Reflections of a temp boy: witches

I've been thinking about this for a while.
I've been thinking about a lot of things for a while.

I've been thinking about blogging my working experiences and thoughts about my holiday jobs.
I wouldn't go about saying that I have a lot of working experience.
Rather I've only have limited working experience as a temporary staff during my holidays.
To date, I've only worked 4 jobs with a minimum of at least 2 months each(No that I've got a choice to work longer, holidays are not too long).
But I'll try to share my experiences with as little bitching and as much humor as possible.

I believe we've encountered nasty people in the work place.
There are many kinds of them.
I'll start by talking about the scheming people, which I will name the witch.

Witches are highly intellectual creatures who are capable of manipulating other beings. Witches are rare creatures as most beings in the realms which we known as the office are cubical zombies. They come in many forms. Generally, they are able to use their witchcraft to look appealing. But for those that look bad, they just suck in looking good.


Witches with makeup


Witch without makeup

It is important to understand the dietery habits and hunting habits of witches to prevent one from fall prey to them. Witches tend to feed on unsuspecting victims. They generate energy by inflating their ego at the expenses of their prey's ego. This is usually done through well thought out schemes, to trap its prey in a corner. When the prey is trapped in a corner, they will resort to tactics to sabotage them. Most prey when trapped in a corner, tend to fight back in aggression. This is when they fall into the witches trap. The witch will use her prowess in manipulation and cunning to sap the energy and strength out the prey. If the prey is one which will stubbornly fight back, this will generally enter a vicious cycle which will suck the life out of it.

Beside understanding its eating habits, any wise adventurer will understand that the best way not to get caught by a witch is to not walk into a witches den. With the evolution of technology methods and strategy, anywhere is a possible witches den. It is important that high level witches have the ability to cloak their aura. This ability is called "soul protect", its prevent trained witch hunters for detecting them. They will only unleash their aura when they are ready to hunt. Depending of the element of the witch, she might emit a different aura. Some are capable of dealing stun and paralysing effects.

It is also known that some witches are masters of Tai chi. This grants them the ability to shift responsibility to others. Most dangerous part of their taichi techniques are those where they shift the blame to someone else and activate the "NULL and VOID"(AKA talk to the hand).

The top one is "shift" and the bottom one is "Null and void", just informing you if you do not happen to play a children's card game called yugioh.


We are able to identify the victims of witches by the curse marks orbiting around them. It is not to be mistaken by Orochimaru's curse mark, which gives the victim a surge in chakra, but killing it if there is an overusage. The curse mark of the witch bestows bad luck to the victim. In the common office environment, the curse mark implies that the victim is becomes to the target of angry mobs and autocratic dictators. It also confer upon the victim the "official scapegoat" title.

Now that we have identified this entity called the witch, it is important that we analyse how to eliminate them. You could always call up the neighbours and form the "neighbourhood angry mob" squad. Witch hunting can be fun! you can do it too.


Yours truly has some personal encounters with such beings. I'd realise that on some level, they are actually very emotional. The whole issue of shaming others to boost their ego is to boost their self worth. Interestingly, their self worth depreciates very fast in time and they need to do something in order to revert back to their normal level. What better way than to show off. Most witches tend to be extremely lazy and only want to do the minimum, yet doing the minimum does not give them the self worth they desire. So they have shame others to make them feel that themselves feel good.

These creatures tend to be very emotional, so you might not really want to mess with them, they might cry. To date, I've only encountered two witches, and one cried when the boss told it off. Try not to comfort them when they cry. Otherwise, they will start sticking to you, that is if you want that.

Apparently, they best way to handle such people is to just ignore them. Somehow, they will keep finding you to talk to you. They will want to find your weakness so as to hurt you. You might think that other people like them as well, but you will soon realise that everyone hates them too. Its just they do not know how to get back at them.

Of course, no one is perfect and the witch will tend to laugh and shame you when you make mistakes. However, the witch is also not perfect. One day, the witch will also make mistakes, it a matter whether you want to shame it or not. In fact, you can gather your friends to shame the witch together. But as an individual with dignity, I'd suggest you leave it alone and move on with your life. It is not worth your time.

Now that I've explained about the witch and method to counter it, I hope you have a nice day.I'm Mr Awesome and I approve this message.

STI dropping and rising

Aiyo...today Straits Time Index (STI) drop, not that it bothers me.
But there is this stock that I own which isn't really making money.
In fact, if I sell it, the only loss I'll suffer is from the commission.
maybe about like 40 dollars...but 40 dollars also money...I rather lost 40 dollars at the ATM than let the market make money from me...hehe...
So never sell...so outwait the market.
These are times where waiting is a virtue

In other news, Sexually transmitted infected(STI) is on the rise...damn you infected!!!
http://health.asiaone.com/Health/News/Story/A1Story20100113-191562.html
So STIs rose by 10.6% from 10k to 12.3k, with people from ages 10 to 39 accounting for the largest increase in notification rates.
10 years old? What are 10 year old kids experimenting these days?
Do kids even have puberty at 10?
Erm...I think the question should be how in the world can a 10 year old kid get infected?
I don't think we got child sex workers here.
Maybe sex education should be taught at primary 3 (9 years old) and every kid should be issued condoms...

Talking about condoms, Ris Low(yes, the boomz girl) is a spokesperson of a condom company.
I know she is trying to get rid of the bad image, but a condom company?
I mean...think about it...lets imagine her in a condom commercial...
"I like sex, but I also like playing it safe, so I use Brand X condom"
Didn't she just did a photoshoot for a men's magazine?
She is just digging a deeper hole.
Personally, I guess you've got to admire her for her resilience and her "never say die" attitude.
The media can be rather harsh on people. The whole hype and flaming of Ris Low is overdone and really cruel. So I think her ability to handle the media is commendable.

Stock recommendation from the stars

As you guess know, I bought this book called shares a few days ago.
I've been reading this book like those Ah Peh reading the horse racing book.

One of the articles was regarding a financial forecast for the month of January.
Er...if you were wondering how the forecast is made, it is done using tradition Taoism methods, by analysing the elements and all those stuff.
Interesting to note that the author is a post-graduate and it is even more interesting that a magazine like shares, use such an unorthodox method to analyse the market. Really goes to show that it is an Ah Peh magazine.

Its not that I'm into any of these supersitious mambo jambo, but I guess you guys are really interested to know what stocks are expected to do well in this month.

"The Yin Fire Ox will bring potential strength to the Earth element".

note that the Ox has a lot of yin, meaning that it is a female,so its a cow.
The cow is a fire cow, means it produces hot milk.

okok, I should stop joking.
Their recommendation on industries that will do well are industries are are related to Fire and Earth.

Fire industries: Equity, Hospitality, Service oritented, media, entertainment, beauty, energy, etc
(why are some of these industries fire industries? I understand energy sector has much to do with fire. But beauty? maybe Civil defense should be fire industries since they only have jobs when there is a fire.)

Earth industries: Property, coal mines, insurance, health care, banking, etc
(at least this makes more sense then fire industries.)

As much as I do not believe in all these superstitious forecast, I have to agree that her recommendations are pretty good.

Most recommended stocks fall into this category.
Fire industries
Energy(oil and gas): Erza holdings, Mermaid Maritime
Hospitality: CDL Hospitality Trust
Media: SPH

Earth industries
Property: SC Global, Ho Bee Investment
Banking: Damn, they are all so stable

I was thinking she probably tune her speculation in line with recent stock recommendation.

I was thinking about it for a while. Just a random thought. I got a bad hunch.
All these forecast and speculation is based on the fact that in the middle of 2010, the market will rally due to the completion of the integrated resorts. This is especially so for the property sector.

Most of the recommended property stocks are companies which are building properties on sentosa, more commonly known as Sentosa Cove(the damn piece on the MacDonalds Monopoly promotion which no one seems to get).
Most of these properties companies are doing rather well. They have decent occupancy rates.
However, having decent occupancy does not secure anything.
If people are unable to pay up for those properties, they have to default on the property and then there will be issues.

People who purchase property on sentosa cove is likely to buy the property as investor.
Likelihood is that they aim to flip it when the price is high. Likely, the property owner is looking for a sucker to purchase the property at a higher price. This "next sucker cycle" will continue until property prices are too high and the bubble burst. What if at some point the owner defaults the payment or at some point, someone declares that the property is not worth its price. Then we will have our own little "sub-prime crisis".

Index of the underdog

I was at popular yesterday after lunch with a friend and I picked up a book, called shares.
Erm, its not really a book...like not exactly something you can read.
Its like a weekly issue magazine which looks like a book.
Kind of like the kind you see horse gamblers read, just that its about shares.
Alot of people were looking at us taking that book.
Its not like its FHM or Maxim. But they're probably thinking, "kids these days, so young learn to gamble."

Anyway, an idea struck me just now, what if I create an index based on 10 of the most undervalued companies based on its discount to NAV and monitor its progress over the year. This would be a nice experiment.

So I flip to a page called "discount to NAV" and there was a list of companies which are sold below its NAV, The names of the company is listed according to the amount of discount.
Here are the list of 10 companies chosen. Prices are taken as of 24th Dec 2009, since 25th which is a Friday is Christmas.

Surface Mount Technology
Last close: 0.11
NAV: 0.524
Discount: 79%

MacarthurCook Industrial REIT
Last close: 0.21
NAV: 0.94
Discount: 79.0

United Food
Last close: 0.07
NAV: 0.311
Discount: 77.5

China Powerplus
Last close: 0.05
NAV: 0.216
Discount: 76.9

New Wave Hldings
Last close: 0.01
NAV: 0.0341
Discount: 76.8

China Sky Chemical Fibre
Last close: 0.175
NAV: 0.733
Discount: 76.1

Eucon Hldings
Last close: 0.03
NAV: 0.1248
Discount: 76.0

Sunright
Last close: 0.13
NAV: 0.532
Discount: 75.6

Ipco Int'l
Last close: 0.02
NAV: 0.08
Discount: 75.0

MacarthurCook Ppty Securities Fund
Last close: 0.125
NAV: 0.484
Discount: 74.2

I'll be using a composite index.
The index will not take into account reinvesting dividends.
If any of you need help on building an index, try the link below
http://http://www.cftech.com/BrainBank/FINANCE/SandPIndexCalc.html

I think I probably need some practice in this...maybe I need to find someone with statistics background.

Anyway, I already created in index on Microsoft Excel.
The index is set at 100 initially.
I'll get the numbers for the index next month and monitor the progress of these stocks after a month.

Erm, just a side note. These companies listed above have a NA PE, implying they are not earning, AKA loss. You might not want to get them, unless you have excess cash and nothing else better to do.

I'm against getting stock which have no PE because personally, I believe that you do not need to subject yourself to such unncessary risk. But this index is just an experiment, so its just for fun.

WSJ

Bad news this week, Ladies and Gentlemen.
There will be no WSJ(Weekly Shounen Jump).
Its been 2 long weeks of waiting and their double episodes ain't exactly double.
Naruto was like a meer 17 pages,slightly lesser than usual.

Anyway, you canot really blame them, if you think about it. Its quite hard for the plot to advance at this point of time.
In One Piece, you see that most of the White Beard crew is down, Marco has been handcuffed and shot a few times by admiral Kizaru. Diamond Jose has been frozen by Aokiji and White Beard himself has been stabbed a few times. Only major character one left standing is Luffy, and we all know Luffy cannot match against an Admiral.

In Bleach, Aizen is untouchable. Screw the Espadas and Tousen, they bearly put up a fight against the vizards and the Captains. But the Vizards and Captains are no match for Aizen.
so basically everybody is waiting for Ichigo.

In Naruto, Danzo is almost untouchable, they keep on missing him. Its as if he's got the same powers as Madara. Sasuke is only draining his strength by fighting him. Anyway, why did Itachi suddenly come up? Interesting...eh...

Anyway, also on WSJ(Wall Street Journal), I found this article which I thought was rather good. Here is the link.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB40001424052748704254604574614090442551008.html
So maybe we should gear ourselves for another crisis?
What if governments are unable to pay up their debt?
Note that even though most indexes put up a good performance since their March 2009 lows, its important to not that the market has led the economic data.
Note that economic data from the US is still bleak, Britian suffers the possibility of losing its AAA credit ratings and Japan's Debt to GDP ratio is close to 200%.

For wrestling fans only

Its been a while since I've watched wrestling. They stopped showing it on channel 5 after too many kids died trying to mimick wrestling moves.

Anyway, Bret Hart is back.
Bret Hart is back after 12 year.
Bret Hart is back to bury the hatchet.
What?
Bury the hatchet?
Well, I guess thats what people want when they are old.

anyway, here's the video.


Anyway, watching this video. Kind of reminded me of another WWE video I saw a while back.
Shawn Michaels going back to WWE.
Its rather funny though...


"Ah, My grill is on fire!!!"
Epic

ZOMG, Shawn Michaels beat the crap out of the little girl!!!!
LOL

"And if you are not down with that, I've got two words for you"
"S**k it!!!"

Anyway, this week on Raw...


Watch part 6 and 7 as well. Tag team championships, Christ Jericho and The Big Show Vs Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

Somehow, Big Show is too inba...But somehow as long as they knock him to the ground he is just too weak to get up.
but still lose...AWWW...Spoiler...

New year resolution number 5

Erm, my fifth and final new year resolution.
Yeah, its to get to know more girls!!!!
Bwahaha...evil laughter...

But I have no idea on how to do that, there are so little females in engineering.
But I have something to brag about. In year 2, the number of girls I know in electrical engineering increase by infinity percent, and all I did was make 3 females friends. This was because prior to year 2 the number of electrical engineering girl i knew was 0 .
So this is a good start although I doubt there will be a harem or anything close to that.

Coffee shop talk: Some people cannot keep their hands to themselves and others cannot keep their clothes on

It the first week of 2010 and so many crazy stuff happening.

If any of you been surfing singapore related websites, you will realise that one of the latest juicy news is that of a molest incident that happened during a countdown in Sentosa.
The article was out on STOMP on the 4th and to date it has induced 258 comments and 3 videos from razor TV.

You can find the link below:
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/caught_in_the_act/300696/4_men_harass_woman_at_countdown_party_but_no_one_helped.html

So this girl who was on stage got gang molested(is there even a term called gang molested?) and nobody in the crowd went up to save her. This is so wrong. From the photos you see a group of indian guys groping her boobs and then they try to strip her off her panties. It kind of looked like she was struggling, though by censoring the face, its hard to understand her expression(but I seriously doubt she is enjoying it).

I don't really understand the whole indian guys trying to get chinese girls thing. Its like a new thrend or something, like how they are trying to stay away from their own kind and going for other asian girls except indian girls. I don't really have an issue about that since there are enough chinese girls to go around. Yeah, I know Chinese girls are good stuff...just like Vietnamese girls, Korean girls and Japanese girls. Its just that it wouldn't go well with indian girls since there will be a large surplus of indian girls who are going to become spinsters. No one likes a spinster since they are insecure and nag alot.

Maybe we shouldn't blame the party goers there. Probably they thought that it was one of the programs in the countdown. 4 guys molesting a wasted girl. I know Singapore legalised bar top dancing , but I don't think they did legalised stage top molesting. Or maybe its just classical bo-chap and mind my own business attitude.

Quite interesting is the comments induced by the netizens. Most of them were not sympathetic towards her. Rather mean I guess, I actually pity her.
Some say she deserve it for wearing such a sexy outfit. Erm, isn't it a beach party? Shouldn't she be wearing a bikini? It would be surprising if she wore a power suit. Yeah, kind of think of it, why do they call it a power suit? because it empowers woman? Then they should have it in like some MMORPG. Maybe they should add it in Diablo 3. Imagine

Power suit
only wearable by female characters
gives you balls(women have balls you know, just that it doesn't hang outside like men's)
+10 to strength

Yeah, anyway, getting back, its not like she was wearing the wrong attire, right?

Other claim that she should have seen it coming. I thought that was also an interesting comment. I think its suppose to be a countdown beach party, not a sex party. Who in the right mind would have seen it coming?
Rather sad though, she should have brought some friends with her. Although if they are as wasted as her, then it doesn't make any difference, since they would get molested as well. The police should really try to catch those Indian guys and smack some sense up their ass.

Yes, in other news. Some caucasian guy was subdued by a stun gun after playing naked hide and seek with the cops.
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/300106/ang_moh_goes_naked_and_plays_hideandseek_with_cops.html

We had one of these kind of incidents last year, where a swedish exchange student and a A star scholar took a nice walk down holland naked. I really wonder how people looking at them will react. Well, in this case, I guess the guy probably got bored waiting in line and decided to entertain the crowds, Tarzen style(kind of think of it, Tarzen wear more than he does), running through the urban jungle of singapore with his manhood dangling.

I guess like how some people cannot keep their hand off other people's assets, some people cannot keep the bird in the cage. I didn't really know we had a stun gun in Singapore. It would be terrible if the bird got stun, some creatures cannot handle high voltage, you know.

You know there is a saying, "do what you want, just don't get caught". This is obvious, doing what he wanting and trying to get caught.

New year resolution number 4

Resolution 4 is to get fit...

Erm...Goal...pass IPPT...
But if I pass IPPT then I'll not get 8 dollars from army to eat Botak Jones...dilemma.
I'll probably try to go school gym with Samuel and Daniel or go to home gym or delta gym with Brian.

During this holidays, I've been going gym with Brian, in fact, I just came back from a gym session. Even though I still am very skinny, I think I got like a little bigger...like 1mm of muscle more. haha...

Anyway, just bid for my module. I'll probably be doing Evolution of a Global city state, SSA2211.

New year resolution number 3

Finally, new resolution number 3.
I was waiting 2 days to get to this, since all the resolutions are writtern in terms of their priority.

Resolution number 3...Financial resolution.
I started to put my money into investments only last year, at the bottom of the economic crisis. I was lucky to start at the right time. I was lucky to start at the right stock. But luck can only get a person this far. I need to keep on learning.

Looking back on my strategy, I realised it only works well when i time the market correctly, which I did for my first trade. So I need to keep on thinking of strategies and direction of my portfolio. The aim is to diversify and develop a portfolio that is able to prosper during good times and reduce losses during a recession, or probably find alternative investment opportunities.

Some things I learnt and I hope to share.


  1. Buy quality stocks: preferably blue chips, but mid-cap will do
  2. Buy on fear, sell on euphoric: I know there will be that adrenaline rush, but bear with it
  3. Its okay to time the market, but don't overdo it: They always tell you not to, because they know you will overdo it, but pls try to at least buy when the index is low. Any time is not always a good time, unless you know what to buy.

I don't think I need to explain too much about it, so I can move on to talk about my resolution.

As of now, the total returns of my portfolio is about 103%. I am currently holding only 3 stocks. My aim in 2010 is to get more stocks into my portfolio. My investments involve companies in the oil and gas, property and transportation. I see myself likely getting REITs. Anyway, its too early to discuss what I'll get.

I am aiming for my portfolio to give me returns of 150% by the end of the year. Erm, this isn't very difficult if I am just going to hold my current portfolio and get rid of stocks which are not performing. But I want to grow my portfolio and hold better quality stocks, so this might be a challenge, especially when the market has risen so much from its March 2009 lows.

I also think that it is important to decide what I want my portfolio to do, for now and the long run. The direction will dictate the type of stock I will buy.

Erm...after typing so much, suddenly I feel lost, maybe I do not know my financial goal as well as I think I do. I've been treating stocks like a game. A very fun and exciting game. Maybe I should start evaluating my own financial goals. Maybe setting the direction of my portfolio should be the main priority, followed by setting goals for the performance of it.

New year resolution number 2

I've been thinking the whole night.

New year resolution 2 should be about my studies.
I've been improving every sem which kind of makes me happy.
I hope I can do better for this coming sem.
I'll work hard and hope that I'll hit 2nd upper by the end of the year.
I haven't been talking much about my studies, I guess its because anything interesting at this point of my life does not revolve around my studies.

erm...how should I go about that...
Erm, strategy time...
1) find friends doing the same module, group up with them and study group
2) mug
3) mug
4) mug
5) MUG!!!!! This is NUS!!!!

New year resolution number 1

I've been making new years resoultions and goals every year.
Without fail, every year, I fail to complete most of them.

This year will not be the same.
I'll list down some goal which I aim to accomplish and break them down into smaller parts and aim to complete the goal but gradually completing each small parts.

erm...What should my first resolution be?
I'm a student, studies should be my priority.
But looking back on my life, there is one goal which I fail to complete every year.
That is to enhance my spiritual growth.
I've been neglecting that a lot for a while and I've been thinking. God has done so much for me, yet I continue to disappoint him.
Ok, its settled then.

My first new year resolution is to grow spiritually.
Erm...spiritual growth has always been something hard to measure...
Ok...small steps to big goal...what small steps can I take?
1) Church attendence.
above 80%...must monitor that though.

I was thinking of joining a cell group, but I don't have a friend that close that I would want to be in the same cell group as. I will probably keep a look out.

2) Get baptised by this year.
Not something I can confirm on. I wanted to do it a long time ago, but for some reason I became very reluctant to do it because I don't really like some things my christian friends say to me. They are too judgemental. They think they know everything, alway critising me. It pisses me off!! Then its times like these I become irrational and say or do things that I regret and drift away from god.

I guess its not too easy to gauge and measure such stuff, but when the middle of the year comes, I'll look back and evaluate my goals again. Maybe from there I can conclude on how to modify the goals.

The most epic super hero film of all time

Everyone has their own special super hero.
Some like Marvel, others like DC.
Now, imagine a movie with marvel and DC and the power rangers and captain planet and the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

I just found this awesome video on dailymotion.

When faced with overwhelming problems,and it looks like there is no way out, I always ask myself, "what would Luffy do?".

Luffy will not give up!!!!

Line of the day(2/1/2010)

I'm currently reading this manga about an otaku dad, who just reunited with his daughter and tons of funny stuff happens. The manga is called Otaku no Musume-san. Catch it on onemanga.com

This is a line I found which is damn funny.

First post of the year!!

Happy New Year!

New year, New goals, New resolution.

For those who tend to not accomplish their resolutions, below is an attached video to help you do so.



Better start thinking of things to do.
Anyway, I'm pretty much struggling to plan which modules I should take next sem.
Modules that I'm interested in clash with my timetable.
Those that don't, sound either too boring or too specialised.

Back to the drawing board. Best of luck to everyone. Stay cool and may the force be with you.
