Selamat Hari Raya

Selamat Hari Raya! When I saw all the decorations in all my neighbors home, it makes me think of my own family. How I wish that I am at home with them. But unfortunately I have to stay back in Bandar to study hard for my CPA coz I know that I wont be able to study when I am at home. There are just too many distractions. Anyway, I just wanna tell people that I jackpot last night when playing lami. WOO HOO!!!!! Ever since I started to play lami, I jackpot perhaps a total of 3 times? I have been playing lami for like 7 or 8 years. Ok..... I have to go study CPA now.

Luck or no Luck?

Do you believe in luck? Well, I do. I have been quite lucky most of the time. But that doesn't mean that I just sit there and good fortune just smiled at me. I do work hard for what I want too. Some people will just sit there and curse everyone and everything for the things that happened to him or her. I just want people to know that successful people don't just sit there and wait for luck to come. If you don't't like where you are right now, you will have to do something about it yourself. No one will be able to help you if you don't even want to help yourself. Sometimes, its also a matter of perspective. Always think positive. Whenever I am down and wonder why do these things happen to me. I try to think on the positive side. Think positive!!!!

Am I a cheater?

I have been contemplating whether I should post this up or not. I wont say what started this. But one thing that I really hate is that people saying that I cheat whoever's money. Or that I depend on my bf financially. For one thing is that I don't cheat people's money. Its against my principles and the same thing goes for people who wanna cheat my money. I'll bite your head off (literally)........ Even when I am really desperate for money (let's hope I'll never see that day), I will NOT cheat anyone's money. Nor do I even have the intention to cheat anyone's money. Another issue is that i DO NOT and AM NOT financially dependant on my bf. I can afford my lifestyle as it is fairly simple (except for the odd LV bag that I am obsessed with). If I don't have the money (when i say money.....I mean CASH, cold hard CASH), then I simply don't buy whatever issit that I wanna buy. Whatever gifts that my bf bought for me, that is his choice. Yeah....its true...

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc

Wow 2nd post today? I'm on a roll. Anyway, this is big news. Anyone who reads the news would have known this by now. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the 4th largest US investment bank had filed for bankruptcy yesterday. News ticker in New York's Times Square (Pic taken from Yahoo!) More news at the following links: - BBC CBS news Lehman is a 158 year old bank that is up stumped by credit crisis and soured real estates values. Closing for key Asia-Pacific stock market on 15.09.2008 (Pic from Yahoo!) Lehman Shares since Feb 2008 (pic from Yahoo!) Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock indes decreased by 4% (pic from Yahoo!) Do you know what kind of impact this would have on my investments???? I have 3 seperate investments. 1. ASB (Should be quite stable kua) 2. Public China Select Fund (I bought it at 0.18++ and the price as at 12.09.08 is only 0.1660. Its just gonna drop further since it has not yet taken in the effect of the lehman bankruptcy. This is bad) 3. Public Dividend Select...

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

I bought the book on Sunday and I finished reading the book last nite. I bought the book with recommendation from my sis Joanne. Actually I saw the book a couple of months ago and when I was reading the summary, it doesn't interest me all that much, so I didn't buy it. However, after reading it, I have to admit, it was an interesting read. Love between a vampire and a normal human being. With a hint of werewolves thrown in for good measure. Vampires and Werewolves, enemies as old as time. My favourite kind of story. Please note that this book is for young adults. (I still can read it what!!!! even though I am an adult and not a young adult) The male lead, Edward Cullen......he is something like a greek god as the book described him. I understand the attraction for readers. Good looking, drives a fast car (this trait is the one that I like the most), excel at everything, fiercely protective of those he loves. It would seem like he has no weakness (except for the thrist of blood...
