Life junctions

Well then,  I just read finish Adventure Capitalist by Jim Rogers, as many of you will know, Jim Rogers is an investor as well as the creator of the Quantum Fund. It is really a very interesting book, it really puts everything into perspective and brings the world right into your very room. I won't go into the details of the book here, I think you got to read it to truly comprehend and fully appreciate the book. I would say that there had been 2 books that truly changed my life and lead me onto this path, one will be this book and the other will be Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad. 


RDPD is the book that got me interested in asset classes, in understanding the importance of money as well as understanding the concept of investing. So, because of the book, I went to know more about stocks and investment, and found myself subscribed to the idea of Fundamentals or Value Investing, which leads me to Warren Buffett. Today, Jim Rogers lead me to have a greater insight and a more skeptical views about society and on the government and their actions. I began to question the various government moves as well as how does it impact on our country's underlying economy, as well as our society on the whole. And after having read zhenni's spiritual book by eckhart tolle, I began to see some correlations between things and the human psyche to some extend. It is real interesting. 


If only, they will teach all these stuffs in school, I wouldn't mind researching stuffs about it...But, luckily, I am no longer studying sciences which I never really fully subscribed to and all. In this society, I think paper qualifications really do count, so I have no choice but to make sure I do really well...and once I attain it, hopefully I can differentiate myself with this other 'subject' that I enjoy doing...


The only question now is application( the hardest part in all projects)

 Ain't ready...

Its only another 6 days to my prelims...well I can say that I haven't really gotten into the mood yet, but somehow I think I am quite confident for my mains and all...but I think I cannot feel that way, because I am sure many others are also feeling confident as there is still another 3 months...but I think its not really how much you know, but how good are you at answering the questions as well as the understanding of the question. If I keep my current speed and style till May, I think I should stand a real good chance of getting the results that I wanted...but for the prelims, I think I am gonna screw it lor..especially for PBF, looking at the schedule that I have...and maybe stats....but I think I will approach my prelims in another way. Its to do well in the relative topics that I had studied and to get a general feel of how are the exams questions....JY kept saying he will fail...well I think it sort of affects me, but I also know that he won't really be much affected. Cuz he plays poker de...lolz...I hope I made the right move within this chaos at that moment...but the main battle is yet to come...

CNY 4E1 Visiting

CNY 4E1 Visiting

Today had a fantastic time with the 4E1 guys at Ms Koh and Mr & Mrs Tuang place. Pics will be uploaded once I managed to get it from leonard...haha. Went to Ms Koh's place in the morning and just hang around there lor...this year got lesser peeps as compared to the past, because many had make-up lessons and all. Somehow, I am always rather quiet when in their company...only at times talk a bit...lolz...I think its the feeling that was brought from my secondary days bah..lolz...I don't really talk much, but nowadays a bit more lor..haha bet a lot of my other friends find me to be quite talkative de=P

It has already been...hmm...almost 5 years since we last left St Gabriel Sec. School le...and although most of the time we always talked about the past, the things that we did..it just never seems to be enough de. Lolz...haha..although we all have different friends, has different goals in life...but every once a year, we always meet up at our teachers' place, its really good. Luckily for me, my class we don't have those cliques and all, though we have our different interest and like me who is a rather social butterfly, we kinda really enjoy each other company lor. Of course, everytime meet up, there is this small feeling that another year has passed and well, we are getting older right?

On hindsight, I didnt really do much when I was in Secondary School...but maybe I should try to do something in my life...lolz....I hear stories about ex school mates and how they are doing, there is this urge in me that I got to do something in my life..to 出人头地 . I think the teachers every year see us students visit them and as we grow up, I think they have some kind of satisfaction and accomplishment. I think thats the passion that entice some of my friends to want to be teachers themselves, to be a beacon of light to others, to make a difference in their lives. When hearing about people who because cannot get into the course of their choice, they will apply to NIE so to at least get a degree. It will be kinda sad if they don't have the passion to teach and all, and that they might leave in the near future after their bond ends. However, I think thats what happening in Singapore, our culture is very realistic, you just have to get a degree, simple...no two ways about that=$...and this might very well be our problem why as a country we can never be creative to some extent as we will always tend towards the sectors where money(aka demand) lies...

Oks. I shall not deviate so much again..haha...had pizza and my all time favorite sushi at tuang's place=P...really good stuff..lolz...and DK kept suan-ing Ms koh...gan funny to the max. Somehow, this year CNY been quite a damper sia, less of us getting together and less of us gambling..feel not there..must be the Tiger Year effect..lolz..anws...HAPPY CNY TO PEEPS OUT THERE!~

Valentine's Day the Movie

Valentine's Day the Movie


Yesterday, went out with kelly and ly to watch the movie..actually its more like kelly who wants to watch de...hehe actually i also wanted =P...Well, to me its the US version of love actually, and it is really all too similar. Somehow, i felt that Love Actually still is much better, maybe cuz of the british charm, which works much better than the US side...lolz..I dunno...there were some really good one-liners in the show though...haha...and the part about the footballer being gay, well they never really elaborate much about it...hmm..maybe in the few early moments that we missed bah. Its essentially a few stories all mix into the movie lor, like how one character will be linked with another.

Like the Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner one and the Old man story. The Jennifer one is about 2 best friends and how they eventually end up together. And their phrase is" How do you maintain the relationship?. Just get along with your best friend" The old man story is when the guy realise that his wife had a short affair in the past and he couldn't accept it, and he learnt about it on Valentine's day. Phrase is" When you love someone, you got to love not only the good things but also the bad as well"


Along the show, random thoughts pop up in my head, like when the phrase from Jennifer story...brought me back to the past..lolz...and a bit of like" yeah right" feeling crops up. And quite a lot of really random things popped up. Also, taking a leaf out of somewhere I read" The more you seek it, the furthur away you are from it". Anyways, if its meant to happen, no matter what I do, it is meant to be lor. Somehow, I always think such shows are meant to make one feel better or rather to give the audience that there is some pure and untainted love and that the good guys will always get the girls de...lolz...sadly we all know that ain't true, right? If you ask me, "how do you know you like someone? " When he or she becomes someone so important, that you cannot imagine life without them.
