Slightly Idling

Ehmm...I have some idle time now but unfortunately I don't have anything interesting to talk about *frown*. My desk is still in a Aftermath mess and I still have problems loading that photo of it from the phone *mad*. I'm not a very organised person, in my first few years working as a junior executive, my bosses used to complain that they can't find files from my desk. I still get that comment once in a while many years later :) My colleagues in the A company used to debate in the evening about whether I had left or still in the office..cos my desk (without me) will have work documents and diary (wide open) lying around. Not a very good habit..I've improved over the years. It does feel good to have a clear desk - unclutter your mind. So..I shall clear it after this.

What else???

The world has been ecstatic about Obama's victory. I personally don't think the victory will have any effect on M'sia although some quarters claimed that he has distant relatives in the East M'sia - big deal! It is possible for anyone from a minority group to be a nation’s leader, even in Malaysia, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi - YA RITE!!!

I've been ignoring the current local political scene...actually haven't been paying attention to alot of things happening around the world - very ignorant. UMNO, MCA, MIC, GERAKAN, PKR, RPK, ANWAR, the world's financial crisis, the stock markets..etc etc. The local political matters...is a waste of time to keep track..everyone is just beating around the bush - no substance. The financial crisis should be a worry. I have some investments in UT but I haven't been keeping track for months. In denial o_O

Personal matters...nothing much happening. Been busy..as noted in many of my previous entries..will be busy again soon. Hoping to have a short holiday sometime somewhere...but where / when?? Am also toying with the idea of challenging myself to get at least the kitchen of my abandoned new house done up - so that I can have a small 'do' to warm up the place on NY's eve? Still toying.

Oh ya..it's year end! Things to do?

• Medical check up due
• Christmas is coming...! Time to scout around for presents for the kids. Argh! Headache!

That's about it for today..unless I think of something else...signing off! Ciao.

UPDATE @12.29pm
Just did a check on my so called investment portfolio. The last time I checked was September before the major downfall. Not looking good. Very bad! bad! bad! Totally depressing!

Don't be greedy

Luckily I sold off most of my UT before CNY. When I came back from CNY I was a bit sore when I see the market going up to 1200++ points. Considered realising a few newer and smaller UT ..but decided to wait since market really booming.

Apparently, a comment by the PM during CNY stating that the market will ht 1300 points triggered some small investors to invest even more. Luckily I didnt catch the statement.

The market plummered steeply yesterday and continued to plummer today. My tai ci instructor is a remisier...he not happy today. In fact worried. He said..lotsa of losses ..lots lots...

Sigh....pity. It's a risky game...u take risk...u pay lo..if u r greedy.
