I woke up with swollen eyes, and cannot work, have to see doctor again. The GP says she suspect I am allergic to panadol (in huge dosages). I was quite surprised as this is such a common drug.

My comments to her was: In that case, it would be very important to be sure, as in the event of an emergency, panadol would likely be administered. I was told that 2007 is a good year for Monkey, I doubt so!

Finally I figure out integration by parts, working on Multivariance now.

I got the flu bug and is on medical leave today, my department is preparing a birthday lunch for ZX. I do not have fever but my head feels dizzy, finally I also contract the flu bug from someone, probably in the office. I told my mum, (she called yesterday that she is in Gao1Xiong1 now) that my older brother's foot seem to be swollen again, she says she will drag him to a specialist once she is back.

Argh Taiwan, a place so fun and you do not have to speak English at all!

I went running yesterday after the rain, the weather is great, it drops the PSI significantly. However I had to make a sudden stop for a rat to cross my path, damn it, and my left shin start acting.

I got one month free membership to cali gym, the super notorious gym chain, thanks to my GE leady health insurance.

郑秀文 《完美》

曲: 黄国伦 词: 黄桂兰 编: 屠颖
我曾那样的努力
为你改变我自己
愿能符合你心意
你却苛求我不停
一再破碎我的心
当爱满是修补过的痕迹
看清楚 不由得叹息
你追求完美的爱情
不容有一点点的瑕疵
你要求无懈的温柔
你让爱变得困难不已
我不是完美的情人
不懂说华丽的誓言
我只有无尽的真情
始终只有你 你是唯一
如何你才能珍惜
如何你才能了解
真实又平凡的爱情 才完美

How To Buy Nothing -Tax yourself

Very innovative and brilliant, will do.

From http://growyourwealth.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-to-buy-nothing.html


Tax yourself. Every time you make a purchase over $10 (or $50 or whatever limit you choose), take 10% of the price and put it into your savings or your investments. This way, you discourage yourself from buying something just because the item is "marked down" or "a bargain" and boost your financial security every time you make a significant purchase.[I think this is the best advice this article offers, by far. This is the first time I have read about adopting such a way of saving, and I would say that it sounds really good. By doing what is recommended, you feel the pich of your purchases, while at the same time your bank account grows silently over time.]

Prospectus link

Comments: It is definitely rare to see a SGX listing for a pharmaceutical company. Pharmaceutics may be a very good industry to be invested in for the long run, but of course, the correct company must be chosen. In this case, I do not recommend bidding for this IPO.

Sihuan (no company website?! probably in Chinese though) is a company which deals only in China. Is that extensive enough? For me, a company has to at least have some sort of overseas dealings before I get interested in the stock.

There is only one underwriter for this IPO, and regrettably, is not as recognized as I would expect an underwriter to be. It probably does not show much promise to attract more well-known investment banks.

This IPO may be able to earn you some profits if we were still in the bull market of last month, but with the uncertainty surrounding the local stock market recently, I advice readers to stay clear from this IPO.

I end up hugging the textbook to bed, finally found a cure to insomina, haha.

I also got Katherine Moennig's picture on my desktop, very hot dyke, the only face I can remember in L word. Those biceps and abs, how can I get enough of her....
Her style....if I ever need proper dresscode to work, that will be my style. ( excluding the super tight pants though, eyeliner, and lack-of-bra)

Alf, my senior show me to correct way to twist wrist, he kept reminding me"senior liao, learn properly to teach others", soon I will test on my poor coworkers if it works.

GE planner says she also going for the run, not for her own company but to keep fit, I thought you train to keep fit , not join race to keep fit..She only go gym once in her entire life, gosh.

X says she wants to give up ACCA studies, I nag her to go find work and stopped being so spoilt and keep herself busy so she has less time thinking of negative things.

No wonder I thought I must be hallucinating when my table was shaking. Earthquakes trembles traced from Indonesia.

I just shake it off that someone must be kicking the table or fixing PC etc, since my office tables are jointed in together with 6 other tables together in a open office pattern.

Together I was swarmed with emails and errand, as D is out on out week's leave.

0305

I went to cut my hair but turn out that the back of my hair has discrepancy in length, I went for the 10mins-10bucks salon to fix it. My mum says I am so dumb not to wait for another day till CNY is over and price is back to normal, she is right! It is time to scout for new place to cut my hair liao, this one is blacklisted forever.

After that, I stay for 2 hours in the library cafe, I stay for some time at home too before that.

If 3 hours= at least 300 hours of study to pass, that means if I clock 25hr/wk, I will have at least 800 hours of study time put in. That means a minimum of 2 hrs/per wkday and 8 hours/ per wkend. Thats is a real killer, wahlau.

I also brorrowed this nice buddhist book - Infinite Life by Robert Thurman:

I dump my remaining OA in 50-50 ratio into REITs and Enchancer,with topsup yearly. The REIT even gives away dividends, something I heard of for the first time for UT. Suddenly, Zenpoet upgrade to Moderate aggressive investor liao, heheh.

SA also all dump into the LS balance, I love the term "Compound Interest". Even Medishield exclude my knees, that is so sad lor.

Hit the manuals in MRT, gonna burnt all my weekend mugging, need to buy finanicial calculator soon, later go gym!

The stupid rain season makes it difficult to train outdoor, tmd. My brother won some individual and group competition (related to his field of study) organised by a fmaous organisation, smartie boy. He seem quite open into the idea of setting a new room in the living room, I ensure him it will work fine.
