Welcome again to the extended version of my weekly posting! Since I got nothing better to do, its only reasonable if I continue updating this blog! If I go out sure will spend money,especially with the f1 sale going on,sure my money will drain out of my bank A/c like the speed of a f1car!
Which brings us to the 1st topics Invest! I do not know whether it is a good or bad time to invest but I had started investing in the stock market! Its a small investment though, only 100 shares of a few REITs which I think had the potential!1st wk of investing,I had been taken on a roller coaster ride as the price goes up 3sen,6sen and drop 5sen respectively. And apparently Im going to receive my returns soon as the financial report is coming out soon! Its not a zero risk game though,but considering property price are strong and doesnt show sign of going down and baring any circumstances (touch wood) like SARS,H1N1 or anything else bad, its pretty safe! I made the decision to invest as I want to be 'money smart' instead of 'money drainer'. If I just keep the money in the savings A/c earning a paltry few cents that is even barely not enough to buy a Chupa Chups I guess haha! But luckily, I had found an account that pays 10X more interest that normal saving! But its still quite low,so I diversified my portfolio further into REITs recently and soon Cash Fund which offers 2.6% according to the ads! I dare not go into buying stocks as Im still a 'newbie'!
With all the fruits of my 'frugal'(karit lifestyle, karit ka haha) spending, which most of my allowance is channeled to investing, its time for a little celebration Eat! Room18 which is part of Tai Thong Group had its 2nd anniversary promo where you can order selected 18 items on promo at incredible 18 Deals prices some as low as $1!I was asking around my circle of friends whether they want to go or not and I blanja them, but seems that nobody interested to go considering Tropicana is quite far and MV is badly jammed usually! Hence, yesterday I went to eat with my cousin, and it was packed! We ordered simply too much that we were full from lunch till dinner (other words to payah makan dinner!). Just a duo mix rice set with drink n dessert,a meat rice set,2 drinks,2 item from promo,2 dimsum item which costs around $70! I have been raving about Room18 but the blogs were divided some of them said its no good,some say so,little say great (except me). I think its bcoz they are used to eating may different restaurants and so they had higher expectation considering its part of Tai Thong! And Im only used to home cooked food hence my expectation is lower perhaps! Each people had there own taste n opinion so different review!
Last but not least time for a little 'current issue crap', not serious political things though! 2 of my fav artists Hsiao Hung Ren/Jen & Blue J Ji Jia Song had released their new albums! One of Hsiao Hung Ren song is named 'Wo She Shou Shou De Nan Shen' (Im a Thin Guy). Some of the lines of the lyrics if Im not mistaken (forgive me if its wrong), says that coz Im (not me the song lyrics) thin and unattractive. its difficult to woo the girls! This line sounds so 'me', hence I gotta buck up by starting going to the gym(? maybe) or play more sports! On the other hand, Blue J new album one of the song is titled Gold Fish tears (I guess), is about the feeling of a heartbreak or breakups! Havent listen to it gotta download it first to listen a few times then I can get the meaning!
Signing off! just like Tiger Huang song Mei Na Me Jian Dan. Life is not so easy! Things are getting tougher and everyone is being competitive. It is the reality of the survival of the fittest.Who doesnt buck up shall lose!
