Rubbish...

This world/country is getting pretty irritating...

Doing the unneccesary things to cover themselves...

Straits time reported that all 12 Julie's products and five other brands, are to be WITHDRAWN immediately from the shelves. And then stating that and adult weighing 60kg would have to eat 378 pieces of Julie's Golden Kaka Crackers EVERYDAY OF HIS LIFE to be in danger.

ZZZ... 1) I don't think that we'll even eat one-tenth the amount for a day. 2) Using common sense, one should eat in moderation, do things in moderation. Are we that IDIOTIC to stuff ourself with 378 pieces of biscuits?

If you (AVA) were to remove the biscuits stating that it's melamine contaminated... PLEASE remove all products from the shelves. The vegetables that we are eating everyday is full of pesticides, the meat that we are consuming may contain full of growth hormone which may harm our body.

I do understand the melamine milk scare back in China months back. The tolerance level for melamine were low. Moreover almost all of the babies would only have milk for their meals. Taking off the milk powder from the shelves were thus the correct thing to do.

Oh ya... And now with just ONE incident of food poisoning, Nissin is withdrawing all their cup noodles in Japan. Just one...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More importantly... Can someone please advise me not to be guilty if i am to earn the amount of money i will be earning in the future...

My gain would mean that someone had parted their money to me.

I don't really have the heart if i ever knew the person will need the money more than i do.

But... the people living in this world are selfish... almost all.

Damn s***... look at the selling price of our daily needs... once it goes up, it hardly comes down even during this economic crisis. The hawker wouldn't want their profits to go down, the oil companies wouldn't want their revenue to fall, the government are finding ways to take more money from us...

The government... ... the GST, the power tariffs, the ERP, the run-down estates of potong pasir and hougang, the ever increasing healthcare cost and the ever stagnant population of Singaporeans. If you are still not aware, it is reported that only 65% of the population are Singaporeans.

Survival of the fittest... In this current dog-eat-dog world, looks like it's the money they're holding that determine how successful they are... And that's what that have made many people blinded... That's what made many people become self-centered. LOL... How about burning all the currencies away from this world... If i am given a wish, i will wish for all the money and financial statements to be burnt away.

I am one who can sleep on the streets... it's just that i'll feel sad for my parents.

I am not saying that it's wrong to be self-centered. I am not blaming any people.

Maybe it will be fair to take good care of myself... until when destruction comes along...

Just to clear all my thoughts and ideas before the exams...

** Replace the "you" with "we" or "us"**

1. When you're just into a relationship, please argue and scold the other party when you know that you're right. After stabilising the relationship, try to replace the argument and scolding with understanding the other person's point of view.

My reason is simple : Those who cannot come to understand and accept you initially does not love you.

2. Most of the times when you're being captured by a camera, you'll feel that somehow you don't look good in the camera. Don't worry. You're on the right track. It shows that you do have certain confidence in your looks and you portray your confidence when you're looking at the mirror. The camera doesn't capture your perception/confidence of how good looking you are.

To prove my point : Ask those around you whether do they think you look different comparing the photos taken of you and the real you.

Of course, there are gifted photographers who are able to capture peoples' feelings. Hmm... please be confident before letting them to capture you using their lens... if not you'll have a nightmare LOL...

3. A monetary gain by one means a loss for the other party. Do not then spend unneccessarily (even though you may have legally earn it) cause the other party may need the money more than you do.

4. STI is at 1600 as of today. If i am to state now that the stock market will "close down prematurely", i supposed no one will believe me.

There had been reports stating about the paper losses that the richest in Singapore faced. But their actual assests havent been dropping by much. This was because the prices of their companies stock doesn't determine their assests value.

Moreover, the current stock prices does not reflect the true value of the companies, it is merely the (a) LAST DONE PRICE of the stock that has been exchanged (buy/sell) by two parties. If the sellers dont sell, there is no way that the prices of the stock will drop. Most of the investors know or have been taught that investing is for long term and one shouldn't sell during a crash (cause history had proven that the stock market will rebound). But history is history. We (b) shouldn't use the speed of growth after world war 2 and assume that we'll still grow at that rate.

The scary thing is, the LAST DONE PRICE (c) can be easily manipulated with just two super rich guys in the market (or two government investment institutions)! Even with the (d) closure of the stock market, companies can still operate. And when it closes, it doesn't matter when you could have hold on the stocks for another 50 years, cause they will just give you a payout equivalent to the last done price.

Some will argue saying that you'll find bargains during the current crisis, buying in undervalued stocks. Don't do so unless you have the capital of buying enough to be a major stockholder in the company like Warrent Buffett. What if the prices of the future stocks don't move at all? What if the stock market simply closes? A more possible scenario will be the freezing of the stock market infinitely.

Don't assume that it'll never happen. There's always a first time for everything.

And thus "investing" in stocks is a gamble, a much bigger gamble than what you think you'll be facing.

5. Lastly, have anyone of you thought of how to safeguard your assests and money in times of war? If you have no plans, whatever you have now, will just disappear...

You can't be possibly thinking that D bank will be giving your money back to you in times of war... what are the chances that you'll still have your money after the war when all the buildings are razed?

Don't forget, even today when we're living peacefully, busying with your own stuffs, handling your own problems, they might not even have enough paper notes with them if all of us are to withdraw our money.

Banks in sound shape? That's what the MAS said... But then to use the financial statements of the banks (a piece of paper/or many pieces of paper) as an assurance???

So... think of where to place your money and how you can survive without it...

trying to do the right thing

Hai......

Lol... I can keep procrastinating... What a guy i am.

I supposed that it isn't important anymore for me defining love. Or doing comparison between a boy-girl relationship vs friends...

Or is it really so?

Hmm... Hmm... Everything is actually fine...

I think i should stop admiring others...

I should stop thinking about the good points/character that all my friends have...

I even think that my younger brother can be a genius in time to come...

I am doubting myself... always saying to myself that my brain is rusty liao...

By the way, my memory is indeed getting worse...

Or rather my brain memory seems to be working like RAM (where the information is lost after the power is switched off)...

Haix...

I do wonder why am i still laughing... Maths test is coming in about 30 mins time...

I read through almost all... but...

Haha... let me not worry about it

I havent even know how difficult will the paper be.

There's only one thing that i'd like to do nowadays.
