What am i doing? Everything but studying.

Hi. I'm back. Not very long aye. Actually, I haven't really started studying. I started a bit, saw the mountain of backlog and now, I feel unmotivated to study. I'm so going to fail.

Anyway, I finally caught the Da Vinci Code after a long wait. Not bad la. But that was because I didn't read the book.

Hmm. Then nothing else happened besides me getting attacked by a crow wanting my pre-GP breakfast.

Oh, and i think I did badly for GP.

And there won't be any Biz Club polo for like the hols. I leave for like not more than a week and a project has been dragged. The juniors lack the 'persuasion' that one needs. Meeting the new Chairman of Perkafe tommorow to brief them on their duties. Looking forward to the SPOT.

Lastly, i'm seriously thinking of giving up with all this commodities trading nonsense. Its costing me too much time and money, with little dividends. But at least even though volume is dropping, a new market has been opened, though i can't track the progress there.

Yup that's all.

With Nostalgic Goodbyes, Comes Changes in Leaderships

I sit here, reflecting and pondering over my highly eventful week.

I sit here, wondering with the successful handover of all my Biz club and Co-op duties as to what I achieved these 1 and a half years. Do I deserve that much praise from the teachers, or is it just them being polite on my last day as CEO?

I sit here reflecting on the people I made smile; the people I made cry.

I sit here wondering as to the future of my club and my café.

I sit here hoping that the half-baked JC1 councilors don’t run MJ into the ground.

I sit here on my computer, wondering many things. My life in this school, has been filled with happy moments, and very grim ones too.

Firstly, I chaired the first MJC Co-op AGM. I think it was good. After that I handed it over to the new ex-co. They did alright. It could’ve been much better though.

Mixed emotions were felt. The normal JC2 members probably felt relieved that they were free of CCA. I felt sad that I had to leave and other members who actually contributed probably felt the same way too.

I was there at the start of the club’s inception. I was there at the café’s inception. I handed over a club and a café that IS successful though still has some minor teething problems. Its now up to them, whether they’ll break the foundations given to them or build something better over it.

As club Chief Executive Officer (CEO), I feel like I’ve done a lot. Some of you may disagree. Some of you may not. Some of you may think I’m an arrogant bastard who’s full of himself. I think not. After all, I’ve built a CCA from scratch, of which at the beginning, it consisted of members that were far from palatable, to a CCA which has since been ingrained into all the minds of the general school population.

As Café Management Committee Chairman, I feel like I’ve done a lot too. A café, from a hole-in-the-wall, to a nice looking room-in-the-wall. Its not easy, but I did it.

As Russell Crowe’s character said in the movie Gladiator, “ The time for honoring yourself is coming to an end.”

So as much as I feel like I’ve done a lot club CEO, a lot of credit would also have to go to SIU SING. He’s been the creative genius and drive, he’s been my stone in torrential waters, and he has supported my policies in one way or another, no matter how much it goes against his moral principles or personal preference. He has advised me against committing fatal mistakes, and cleaning them up when its already done. He’s watched my back, as I have watched his.

For this, I thank you, LAI SIU SING.

As much as I feel like I’ve done a lot as Chairman of the café, I have yet again to give credit to SIU SING. He has done all that he has done above, and more. He has prepared speeches, e-mails, covered my back when needed.

Credit for setting up the café would have to go to LAI SIU SING. He sourced for vendors, renovations, and more.

Credit would also have to go to KRISTIN who implemented the idea of Siu Sing, Bjorn’s and mine into reality.

For these sacrifices, I thank you, LAI SIU SING, LAI SIU SING, KRISTIN PEH.

For all other times, when I needed his help for any matter of things, VISHNU would always be there for me.


For that, I thank you VISHNU ADITYA NAIDU.

For all his invaluable input, and invaluable company, TAT CHUNG has never disappointed.

For that, I thank you KHANG TAT CHUNG.

I thank the teachers for putting so much faith into me.

I thank all those who have worked so well with me, in Biz Club, NTU-JC challenge, class and other parts of my life.

Special thanks to Siu Sing once again. You’re a great friend, even if you don’t want to admit it, I’m sure you feel the same way too.

And yes, to all the J1s reading this, better not screw up what those named above have built, for I will personally see to your end if it happens.

Soccer went badly. We lost to VJ. I can foresee that we will not win the top 3 positions next year for we do not have Zul and Muhadeer ( I don’t know how to spell his name.)

What’s a bigger loss is that the student JC 1 councilors are the worst bunch of student leaders I have seen in my entire life.

My class were the first to arrive at the stadium. Half hour later, we were still waiting outside to get in. Siu sing’s class got off the bus and strolled right in. 4 other classes did the same. And they (the incompetent councilors) were stopping my class from entering when we had already waited so long to get in. when I said, “ Do your job. Either stop them, or let us in,” to which one of them replied, “ Just wait.”

When I told Hafiz that they were so much lousier than the previous batch, one of them told me, “ I can hear you, you know.” Oh really? And the fact that I waited half an hour to get in only to be directed to another location and made to queue again warrants you the label of a good councilor? Do you think the fact that I said it loudly for you to hear wasn’t intentional?

Horrible people.

To make things worse, a councillors’ job scope entails engaging the crowd. What I saw was the JC2 councilors, Kenneth Poon and Shu Yi doing their juniors’ job while the juniors themselves were talking among themselves, cheering only when Mr Yeow, the council teacher came up to the grandstand.

No wonder my sources in the council agreed with me that their juniors are hopeless.

I know mine aren’t. let’s hope I’m not wrong.

All this time, I’ve neglected my studies. No more. Its time for all of you to see that I’m not stupid. This will be my last update, for a long time to come, or until I need an outlet to vent. So, I’ll be seeing all of you next time.

Share Woes

The class CIP project went extremely well. I’m happy for the class. We managed to raise quite a lot for the Down’s Syndrome Association. Kudos to us.

I however, learnt one thing. I suck at DJing or emceeing. Whatever. I was so nervous on Thursday I just cocked up. I can’t do impromptu stuff. I was so shell shocked I handed over my responsibility of emceeing the next day to Hendriks and Daryl. But seriously man. I suck.. Yup. So please don’t ask me to do off the cuff stuff. If you want me to do scripted stuff, can. I don’t mind. But at least hendriks did save my butt on Thursday, but only a bit la.

Me rambling now.

Anyway the STI is seriously reeling back from the hike in interest rates in the US. As for my small little financial portfolio, well, it ain’t looking so good. I’ll let the graph below speak for itself.

Free market forces has also affected my trade volume. A new free market force, in my opinion, has the perpetuity to make my trade volume go down immensely. At least that’s MY prediction. My financial advisors at my bank however, have told me that in all probability, me speculating the influence of this new market player may turn out wrong. But the dipping figures sure makes my prediction look very suitable.

As you can see, deviation from the mean is rather large. Haiyo.

Oh, and do remember to do my johari window.

http://kevan.org/johari?name=Zoole

Till next time.

Confident Men Wear Pink

Anyways, feeling rather down now uh. My good mood has since dwindled. The price of my shares have dropped to an all time low. Must be influenced by the STI slump. More about that later.

Anyway, Vishnu told me something that totally made my day. It was a conversation between him and Majid.

Majid: Only confident men wear pink.
Vishnu: Only gays wear pink la.
Majid :Aren't you gay?
Vishnu: No, zul's gay.
Majid: Oh, zul ah? He's so cute!
Vishnu: Which one?
Majid: Both.

I think this is the conversation, but all I know is that Majid thinks I’m cute. God-damn. WOOT! Vishnu by the way, thanks for really standing up for me and saying I’m not gay. No, really. You stood up for me SO much, as seen from the conversation. Ya. THANKS a lot. Haha.

But come to think of it, Majid thinking I’m cute is like not surprising. I am after all, hot, as proclaimed by Daryl, voluptuous and ‘shuai’ as proclaimed by Pamela, sexy by Hafiz, and well.. the list goes on. Ya, I know. I’m so humble. Haha.

Then today damn interesting uh. No CCA. Got stupid investiture. But its been postponed to Friday. Rallying for Perkafe Management Committee will be Friday then. Hmm. Wonder who’ll replace me?

Anyway, I spent like about an hour talking to the aero-modelling guy from Siu Sing’s class. He trades in stocks. The REAL kind. Not the stupid blog-euphemism stuff you find here. I actually learnt more from him than the Stock it Up workshop by the school. Risks are high, buy volume all that nonsense. All I know is that all my dreams of trading now are dashed. No capital. But hey. I could end up losing all my savings if I dabble now right? I might as well spend on stuff. Like a new bag. Or a new watch. Or shoes. Pam says I need more shoes. I think she’s right. Super-worn uh my shoes. Makes my Aasics shoe club embarrassed. Later I get displaced by Freesia sia. But she likes Tzun-Tzien. So actually she shouldn’t care whether she’s with us or not. Good.

Anyway, I learnt a lot of shares and stocks trading nomenclature so I shall report on my shares now. Yes the stupid blog-euphemism shares. I don’t have real shares.

Influenced by the recent slump in the STI, the ZJI trade volume has slumped horribly. No one is trading at all. No selling, no buying. This has caused major shareholders to sell their shares, fuelling the drop in share prices. Furthermore, speculation by the brokerage houses has fuelled shareholder uncertainty and more people are selling, fuelling the mass selling of the stocks. My share prices have never dipped this much, this fast. Shit. I will need to take a loan now from the bank to buy back my stocks to stop the consumer frenzy. But my bank directors are telling me to play cool. They will not lend me the money. And this has resulted in increase on the sell volume, dip in the share prices, and its spinning out of control.

There’s still hope. ZJ holdings will be acquiring a new lease soon. How this will sway share prices remains to be seen.

And no An Ee. The share prices aren’t my weight. If it was my weight, it would be a blue-chip stock, that could put Singtel and DBS to shame for its stability.

Try again, boy. Oops. I mean girl. Oops. What's your gender again?

Nostalgic HOTNESS

Egoman posted an old VSCB pic. It was quite perverse actually. But hey, VSCB juniors are always like that, I presume. But anyway, it made me go through my own old picture album. Considering that my camera is only 6 months old, well, I guess my picture album isn’t very old after all.

Anyway, I’m feeling in a good nostalgic mood so I’ll let you have a small peak (in chronological order) into the complex mind of Zul. Pardon me for the quality, the MW Snap program doesn’t get high quality snaps. So this are just some of the pics i took from the Dec hols till now.

If you want high-res pics of my HOTNESS, just msg me k?



Ahh. Siu sing and I. He can deny his lust for me all he wants, but I'm sure you all can see how he loks at me when I pretend I'm not looking.




We painted Perkafe during the Dec hols. I know, the hotness of my butt deserves a bigger frame. Anyway, the paint fumes resulted in Kenneth getting a little too friendly with a bicycle horn, there was some girl-on-girl action and Siu Sing and Javier at it again. ( I don't think the paint fumes had anything to do with it at all.) And there I am just watching the events unfold. :)



Friendships were made, friendships were strengthened, and in between, there was good food along the way.



There was an incident where 2 pervs were caught being a little too close to the dance noticeboard. I wonder who they were.



Next stop, NTU-JC-IEEE-SPIE challenge. An enriching experience with lots of sight and sounds. Some people may have been enjoying their time a bit TOO much.



Top most pic: The Audio crew. Middle: the S-paper people , Above : The playboy



I talk too much. He talks too little.



All of us together. Aren't we all so hot? Especially the guy in the middle. HOTNESS! Oh, and Cindy wanted a Nose-job. I'm no surgeon, but i don't mind helping.




Top, clockwise: That's me feeling tall, me feeling big, me feeling intellectually inferior and me feeling short. Hmph. What a day.





The class people. Our class is horrible. So many couples. (Some threesomes exist too.) SHH! Secret.




Ahh. What a way to end my tenure as Biz Club boss. Laminated pictures of me put around the school, a leaflet with me on the cover, circulated to 1500 Meridians, urging them to join me. Kristin's there too, but she on the inner part. Siu Sing, don't be sad k? We put you on another leaflet. In the meantime, just try to copy my HOTNESS.





Ahh, what a year man. And its only half way through. Hmm. Let's end it with a good note aye.

Power to the OJ!

Graphical Methods

Oh, can you all do my Johari Window thingy?

http://kevan.org/johari?name=Zoole

Thanks. Anyway,

Here I am sitting at home typing on a Thursday morning. Why? Because I didn’t go to school today? Why? Because I think I ate something bad cos I have a bad case of food poisoning. But hey, at least I get to skip school uh? Yup. And waste the entire day sleeping and resting. Damn.

Anyway, my phone socket isn’t set to get fixed anytime soon… so I sit here hoping to get this entry posted if I visit my sister on Friday. But lots of things have happened lately which have been rather interesting.

Firstly, refer to the entry below. I missed the revealing of the names for my class’ Angel Mortal game thingy. Which is set to look quite fun. But, being the resident Kaypoh, I have most probably found out everyone’s angel including mine.

PAMELA!!!!!!! Thanks for the maxim. You too sweet.

Anyway as I was using the com yesterday to furiously type out some CCA forms in the library, ( I was in a hurry by the way) Majid came up to me and said

“ you got card?”

I replied “ huh? No. why?”

“You got card? I want to borrow DVD. Card uh.” Majid asked, stamping her feet up and down.

Aiyoh. So pitiful. Hehe. Ya so even though I was on borrowed time, I still managed to find five mins to waste on Majid. Amazing huh what playing the bimbo card can do.

But anyway to more important matters in life. CCA handover is almost complete. I’ve appointed my successor, Koh Wei Qiang, formerly from TMS.

Dep. CEO is Jason Chan, Asst CEO is Shawn Lee, both formerly form VS.

It’s a milestone moment. The signal that new blood is taking over the helm. Its quite sad that I won’t be doing what I’ve been doing for these past one and a half years anymore. I have my reservations of the new committee. I just do not see the spark that Siu Sing, Bjorn, Vishnu, Kristin and Tat Chung and I ( if I may be so narcissistic) that all of them possess in their eyes. But as the old horses were deliberating as to who should take the top position, comparisons to me were made.

Some were citing the fact that some candidates were to quiet to take this position and that, some were too unassertive, but I remember not so very long ago, I was this meek, unassertive, unconfident person. I would not dare to speak against anyone. In fact my appointment into my position was highly disapproved of by the general club population. But I think I’ve done an aright job so far. But of course, the presence of big movers like Siu Sing, Bjorn and Kristin helped, along with moral support form Vishnu. So I guess, that’s why I had the least comments when deciding who will take what, as I had experienced the transformation process myself. however, after yesterday, I could see that my faith in Wei qiang is not unfounded because as soon as the results were announced, well, he took charge. I have no doubt he may reach my level of confidence and some say thick-skin-ness in say, 3 to 4 months and surpass me thereafter.

However, it remains to be seen as to whether the cruise ship that Siu Sing and I have relinquished steering to will sink or float. Yup.

Next, week, there’ll be another rallying session, to vote in the new Perkafe Management Committee. I’m actually quite proud that we’re the only CCA who has 2 separate Executive Committees. That’s quite cool. Of course, most of us did double duties in 2 committees this year but I can foresee the enthusiasm of this year’s J1s will make sure that that will not happen. Its also quite endearing that we’re the only CCA that pays people. People think its cool, however, I don’t think so. I think that it is their CCA obligation to do their duties. But I guess, that we’re trying to sweeten the deal.

There is another thing that is alarming me a bit. I mean, in VS, CCA handover means a signal is due for seniors to start studying. Though we didn’t heed that signal, but this time I think it must be because well, I just realized that the A levels is like 5 months form now. Yup. 5 months. I have that amount of time to make up for all the time lost. I think if I start now, it’ll be just right aye?

Luckily I’ve thrown off the blue, but the yellow still has yet to be worn. The black will be worn right before prelims. Must avoid burning out. I’m no mugger.

Encouraging results have been seen so far from the purging the blue off my back. The recent tests have seen a stable upward growth for team zul, and it happened without much change to my lazy lifestyle. I think the outlook for the mid-yrs looks good. I guess all the thought of me losing my flair in last minute theatrics is unfounded. Yup. I’ve tested the waters, and its warm. I like.



And now, for finance news.

There has been an overall increase in stocks traded on the ZJI from its recent market opening 4 months ago. There was a sharp increase in stocks traded from the first to the second month. So far the peak is at 91.43 tonnes of stocks traded at the fourth month. The peak can be attributed to a good trading period probably due to the market reacting rather well to the PM’s outlook on the economy. There is a projected dip in the fifth month. I must say that Siu Sing’s curve is rather accurate. The sinosodial shape is an accurate depiction of today’s market. We live in predictable unpredictability nowadays.

Anyway the graph’s as below.



And for those still wondering what the above figures mean, keep guessing uh.

Well toodles for now.

Power to the OJ!

I shall smite thee with my MAXIM

My class is playing Angel and Mortal. Just for the kicks.

And my angel is SOOOO NICE!!!!

Besides chocolate and a small teddy bedside lamp she gave me...


MAXIM

Oolala.

Thank YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCh. You're so sweet. MUACKS!

Ooops. Maybe spreading the love isn't so ideal. Mwahaha!

I think the digimaon craze is almost dead.. After like 1 week of not-so-intense fighting. Well, there goes my 4 bucks i spent on batteries.

Toodles. I'm going to go read some literature. Yup. You know appreciate how human thought has been shaped over the centuries. SHAPED. :)

The Return to the Inner Child

What in the world? First the phone socket nearest to the computer conked out and then now the spare one I’m using in the study has conked out so now I have to buy an additional 10m long wire to stretch from my living room to another room with a phone socket just to get the net. Damn these rented houses. Luckily I’m moving out soon. December. The official TOP date was supposed to be in august but these developers never finish projects on time. Nvm. I’ll just bear with it. The school computers aren’t that bad you know, relative to the school computers in like Sudan or some other failed state.


There have been a few things bugging me recently and well it may be a long entry so I’ll use headings for those of you who just want to read about certain portions of my incredibly illustrious life.

THE CRAP MISTAKE

You know the candidate running for my position? The one who called me an egestory product? Yes. Well, I feel actually quite guilty about taking it so hard and well, perhaps she didn’t mean it. So I decided to just let it go. I was about to. However, mid way through the rallying speeches, she suddenly shouted “can we have a five-minute break?” I mean, maybe the first time you were rude to me was nothing, but if you show a inappropriate behavior or lack of manners in front of an LT of people, what true side of you will you show when you’re in office? So I went on to question her abrasiveness and whether her inappropriate behavior would actually hamper her capability as a leader. Well, apparently my ideal idea of slamming a person doesn’t tally with what I can actually do in real life. I just couldn’t slam her down. I guess I’m too nice, and I was trying to phrase the question in a way that was too politically correct that it lost its essence. Little did I know that my personal comments I wrote on a piece of paper was being passed around to some of the Ex-co members. Well I guess her actions both in and out of the LT that day would have spoken for her character. Democracy will prevail.

This brings about to my next point:

THE CRAP MISTAKE, AN AFTERWORD

Now. Am I so perfect and so morally upright, so tactful to the extent that I am in a position to slam anyone as I perceive rude? The answer is NO. I myself am guilty of being brash, and rude at times. One thing is for sure though, I’m never rude to people I’m not familiar with, like external agencies, teachers I do not know, other students I do not know ( with the exception of this VS guy; and its more teasing). So I guess that I shouldn’t really make a big hoo-ha about this matter huh. But hey, in the end it was her bad karma that got the paper circulated around, and I din’t do it on purpose.

THE BIGOT

One thing that occurred after the Crap mistake that I truly admired was that the individual stood up for herself, and continued to pres om. She even continued her duties well to the extent that she has my vote. I respect that kind of person who can put the past behind them. I mean, she dished out the bad stuff, and she took her own medicine with dignity and finesse.

I guess that’s one thing that I can do to. If you know me, I’m a fun-loving noisy guy. Jokes and satire are what makes me whole. That goes the same for Siu Sing, Vishnu, Hendriks, etc. We can mock one another, without getting permanently offended. Hendriks can make fun of me, and I of her, and we shrug it off after that. As for Siu Sing, well, its more of him teasing me, and I defending myself. But at the end of the day, we shrug it off, and just have fun.

Now there is this individual in the class who I think hates the living daylights out of me. I shan’t name names but I think you all know who. Well, it all started out when this individual mocked me about something, I think its about my thinning hairline or something. I teased back. After a while, this person stopped talking to me. And the result is now me receiving the cold shoulder.

For this kind of people, I say “Grow up.” If you can mock other people, however you can’t take it when people mock you back, I say, that’s just too bad for you. If you can’t handle what you started, perhaps you shouldn’t start it at all. I mean, people who crack jokes can take their own jokes. If you can’t then don’t join people like us who have aren’t super-sensitive.

I mean, I’m not saying that you should crack racist jokes and take it, I’m saying that if you crack general, clean jokes, you should be able to take being the butt of your own jokes once in a while.

But hey, if you want to continue sulking, so be it.

But wait, this individual talked to me today! Yes. This individual was actually polite. Hmm. I wonder was it because I have access to the CDs containing all the Lost Season 2 episodes. (courtesy of Vishnu) Hmm. What a sincere person this individual is.

This brings about a pertinent comparison. The girl who called me ‘crap’ was willing to put her mistake behind her and trudge on. I respect this kind of perseverance. The individual above sulks when he/she is unable to take his/her own medicine but is willing to be nice to get something. This I think is just bad behavior. If you yourself burnt a bridge, well, you don’t expect to build it back without any costs.

AOB

Well enough about horrible people (besides me) that the world has.. let’s talk bout all the nice people there are in this world. My Angel, for the light bulb I got and the Kinder Bueno I got from her today.. Siu Sing for actually WANTING to sit with me today during the stepping-down briefing, Vishnu for being so nice to loanme 2 Digimons for me to rear and being all nice when I killed his Shitmon with my baby I-don’t-know-what-the-hellmon. Joanne for switching off the digimon light when it wasn’t sleeping and then finding it so funny (don’t ask me why). And that’s like only a quarter of all the nice people I had the pleasure of meeting today. I guess the nice people do form a majority in this world. Hmm. I have such nice company around me. Good mood now. Must be the estrogen form the KFC chicken last week.

READY, COUNT, BATTLE

I forgot to tell you all that I am officially hooked onto the digimon craze that has swept MJ by storm, no thanks to Tat Chung who started it. Vishnu lent me 2 of his digimons, and I accidentally killed his Shitmon with my baby digimon.

But hey, its harmless fun, so let the digimon craze continue.

Ooh. And hafiz or mikel, whoever he chooses to be, showed me a cool shortcut to train my digimon. Now I don’t look like a pervert shaking something vigorously at the back of the bus.

FRIENDS, BROTHERS AND WHOEVER ELSE, LEND ME YOUR EARS, ELECTIONS ARE OVER

Ahh. Elections. No. Not the GE but the CCA ones. Its OVER! I’m so happy. This means I’m officially retiring next week, ahh. Will it be bliss? I guess not. Then I have nothing to blame for my ailing grades. I’ll look like a stupid git, if I continue on my downward path. I have bucked up, albeit a little, but I’m on my way. Hmm. I guess I should start with the upcoming chem test. Ooh. And bio SPA.

But hey, I feel so relieved to be relieved of duty. But with that I’ll lose my post as Boss. Which is quite cool. Cos I get to talk a lot during meetings. And this school has made me into a talkative person. What I talk about, depends on my mood. Hmm. I guess me shutting up every wed now may allow me to channel some energy into more constructive pursuits. Hmm.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! CRABBY PATTY!

I’m sure you all are sick of me saying that stocks are good so I put in a little bit of effort and quantified the volume of stocks traded.

To those who still don’t know what the euphemism of stocks is used for, I think you’re a little slow. Egoman figured out himself, but he’s quite smart. Others know cos I told them or they figured it out. But anyway, here’s the data:

Volume Traded in

Fiscal Month 1: 71.14 tonnes
Fiscal Month 2: 88.88 tonnes
Fiscal Month 3: 86.21 tonnes

Yeah! Notice the sharp growth from the first month to the second! WOOT! However, the dip from the second month to the third is expected as market movers move on to their next stock market pet.


Shit! The Library’s closing in like 1 minute. Better load this to blogger now. Till next time folks.

Vengeance for Suji

Oooh. In a good mood today. Nothing like estrogen from poultry to keep my hormones in check. KFC chickens get bigger with every passing day. Don’t know whether that’s good or bad. Hmph.

Wah. I did a bit of maths today, ate chicken, then concussed the whole day. Whoa. Now I want to play an hour of DOTA (good god, have I turned into a warcraft dork?) and then need to study for tmw’s test. Visited the Perkafe duty blog. Well done ah tat chung. But I can’t contribute…. Later those pesky J1s come across this blog and find entries written about them ah, then there I go. Whoppeedodaa.

Haiyo. Finished watching all 19 episodes of Lost that Vishnu gave me. All I can say is that the suspense never ceases. Hurley rocks. And the hot blond chick got shot. In retrospect, after about 13 hours of Lost ( 1 episode is about 40 mins), they don’t seem to accomplish much. More questions are being asked, old questions are forgotten. Hmm. Anyway, can’t wait for episode 20 to be screened. The US is showing it in mid May.

Hmmm. I guess I was feeling extra bitchy yesterday. But its all out now. I’m returned to a state of normalcy (does that word exist? Apparently Microsoft Word is not marking it down). I’m my usual nice self again… so I’ll be less crabby.

Ya well. Let’s talk bout the economy.

As I said earlier, the IPO went well, with the market forces drving prices up. Blue-chip companies were buying me out. Which is good. However, I would expect SMEs to actually lead the buyout. I thought the share prices would stagnate, but it has continually risen. Thereafter I thought with the assistance of Egoman, I would try to acquire stocks in the blue-chip commerce sector. This was countered by a buyout by the blue-chip subsidiaries and now my share prices have stagnated. I do not know the future for at any moment share prices can just plunge. Damn. Risks man. Risks. They could cause my entire portfolio to just fold.

Hmph.

Anyway, just to quote from someone’s blog, ‘ A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.’

I shall be less of a crabby patty nowadays.
