Chee Cheong Fun

March 10th, 2010

Recently, I have a sudden craving for one of our local delights – chee cheong fun. I have been “taking time off” during weekdays to eat it and I suspect I could well have tried all the stalls around Toa Payoh Central.

Tasted exceptionally good……. maybe the thrill of eating it during office hour adds on to it. :) I will definitely be on the lookout for more tasty ones out there……

I guess what will happen will eventually happen. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I just pray for the best possible outcome……

SC Global

March 8th, 2010

This one has been on my portfolio for only 6 days. I sold it off for a profit of 3.06% today. This one will go down as the most brilliantly timed stock I have purchased to date cos I managed to buy in at the 6 day low and sold it off at the 6 day high.

Fast in…… fast out, I need more stocks like this. :)

buoyant, confident

I have a house

March 7th, 2010

I have been stuck in this phase of my life for far too long already. I have viewed so many units around my neighbourhood but somehow, I just didn’t settle for anything until today.

I bought a unit just above my mum’s flat. :) Phew….. one big major obstacle lifted. I just bought my trusted pendant a “home” and now I got a home in return. :) Man, I just hope the price of flat go up 10 times from now on.

Uncle Bird

March 7th, 2010

Throughout the course of my work, I have met all sorts of people. Uncle Bird is just one of them and he will go down as one of the funniest and most comical character I have met to date.

Uncle Bird is in his early 50s and married without children. He and his wife are both mental patients and hence unemployable. Uncle Bird came for extension of his assistance as usual and had a real hearty chat with me. He shared that he feels stressed and upset at times and has problems coping with the pittance he is getting from us. He has to budget himself and stretch that dollar of his to the maximum.

Uncle went on and shared that he finds it a real chore to be a human being. Given a choice, he would rather re-incarnate in his next life and become a bird!! LOL. Reason being, a bird is carefree and all its got to do is to fly around, laze around and not do anything.

I tried extremely hard to control my laughter and keep my emotions in check. I could have said a lot of things to him to “add on to this joke” but I held it in. As usual, I pulled a straight face as I do not want to get all friendly and chatty as I have a duty to fulfill. After he left, I burst out laughing as I couldn’t control my emotions anymore.

Who says being a bird is easy? Every bird has its day too. You might become a crow for all you know! Hahahaaaaaa. Just for laughs.

Stockpick: Possibility of a breakout? Swiber

March 6th, 2010

Swiber has quieten down recently and has slowly morphed into a sideways pattern formation. In recent weeks, it has tested it major support at S$1.02 but somehow resisted at S$1.08.

With stochastic pointing to the oversell region, crossover pointing upwards and the formation of a bolinger squeeze in the making, it seems to be a big candidate for a potential breakout. Watch out for it.

Buddha Pendant

March 6th, 2010

I am into pendants recently. In fact, I am doing some deep research on it, reading up on it whenever time permits. So much so, I decided to do something I have procrastinated for a very long time today – to “seal” up my old Buddha pendant.

I have been wearing the same old pendant for ages and over the years, the shine on it has started to wear off over time. I have long wanted to seal it up but not sure why…… I waited and waited.

I had a much stronger urge to do it especially after I almost met with a mishap on my last trip to Bangkok. Great…… one thing of my mind at least. :)

Ministry of Home Affairs

March 4th, 2010

I just finished a soccer match with the ministry of home affairs. I have been feeling very tired lately but I know it is not easy to find enough khakis to play a 11 aside match. There is not way I could convince myself to give this one a miss.

It’s a clear sign that age is catching up. Against the young lads (probably cadets), we were no match in terms of stamina and pace but we had plenty of fighting spirit. LOL. It’s not difficult to guess that we were on the receiving end of a super uneven scoreline.

At some stage, they were so good, I was half tempted to “body checked” some of the smaller size guys who have gotten the better of me. Haha….. but then again, I held it in. It is against the law to “assault” cops. LOL. :)

Job Seeking

March 3rd, 2010

I seem to be on a roll lately. I lost count of the number of people I job matched last month. I just matched another 2 today. :) So much so, confidence is soaring. I recall telling some people blatantly, “don’t worry so much, I will find you a job”. LOL.

However, there are a lot of things one can do for other people but not for oneself. I am having plenty of problems job matching myself! Hahaaaa……. I guess patience is the key…… for now, I shall bid my time.
