投资和祷告


我在信托基金行业上班,我的consultants 和投资顾客最常问我一些问题。

“哪个基金(Fund)可以投资啊?”

“几时应该进场投资啊?”

“明天股市会起吗?”

“股票几时跌倒底啊?”

问啊问。。我真不知怎么去回答他们。。如果我答得出来,那我就是股神中的股神!!
去年连Warren Buffett 都没想到金融海啸的威力是那么的强劲, 连他都亏钱了,更何况是我这个泛泛之后辈!

其实在每个投资里,投资者都要做足功课,要清楚知道我们到底在投资什么,了解投资风险,什么的投资领域,甚至是多久的投资时间。。。专家都说;不要投资在我们不知道的东西!!

每次我被问到以上的问题,我会忍不住地告诉他们,记得在投资前做祷告哦!!祈求上帝的带领。

因为不管我们的知识再好,宝刀再老,我们人还是不能控制任何的突发的状况!!就拿2009年美元和黄金的趋势,还有Citigroup来做比例。

过去10年来,黄金价格和美元汇率大多走势相反,但今年两者却步伐一致,违反传统经济理论,让部分投资策划师和投资人感到非常困惑。2008年的最后一季,金价下跌4%,美元对其它主要货币则升值3%。到了2009年,金价上涨5%,美元也涨8%,完全颠覆经济理论。

还有我们熟悉的Citigroup,十一年前,亚洲经济大风暴,很多人把钱从本地银行转汇入外国银行,Citibank就是汇额总数最高的一间。没有人想到,只有十一年的时间,2009年,Citigroup当今的市值都输给了马来西亚三大银行(Public Bank, Maybank, CIMB). 之前的银行龙头老大,现在被排挤到第150名外,是自大?是疏忽?还是骄傲所造成?

股市和经济变换多端,充满危机和试探,如果没有祈求上帝的带领以及应用智慧,我们就是一群赌徒!!

你同意吗?

大便的故事

某个晚上,我在看台湾 TVBSG 的‘马上大搜群’,一个谈话性的节目。当天主持群介绍了一些冷门的东西,最令我感到惊讶的是,原来有一本书是关于。。。大便!!!

天啊!!是什么人有那么大的勇气去研究大便???

那整本书是纯白色做书底,所以从电视荧幕望过,每个大便是一个一个排列在书面!这名作者可不是随随便便拍了几个大便就出书了。从书的厚度来看,作者可是真的有研究!比如,什么动物会拉出什么型状,size, 什么颜色,甚至是什么味道的排泄物。作者可不是马马虎虎的哦!!

真的觉得,这世界什么人都有,行行出状元,连这个没有人愿意接近的排泄物,也会登上台面,成为人们阅读的其中一个书籍。可是我想谁会去买来读啊??!!现在的我写啊写,都觉得好恶!!

当我满脑子在想着这个‘大便的故事’时,Cherry 就 forward 了一个大便的SMS给我!
哇!!大便真的登上台面了 !! 抬头了!!书和SMS都有了!!


大便的SMS

人生就像大便,一旦冲走了,就不会回来!

人生就像大便,怎么拉都是那个模样,可是每次又不太一样!

人生就像大便,有时拉的很爽,有时却拉得五官纠结!

人生就像大便,往往努力了半天,却只噗出几个屁!

人生就像大便,只有自己默默的勇敢面对!

所以人常说;“你去吃大便!”

其实,他的本意是 “要你认真的生活!”

那么。。。你。。。吃大便了么?????

blog 的好处和坏处

因为我开始写 blog 了,所以我就去 search 了一些朋友的 blog。我既然发现,其实很多朋友都有写 blog ! 我可算慢了。我也发觉到写 blog 的好处和坏处!

好处:
自从我写 blog 后,我的思考思维比较进步。明明是一件很简单的东西,但为了要有创意的表达出来,我的头脑就开始不停的思考。。想一些创新的句词,比较吸引人的话题。虽然我的 blog 是会 private permission, 但也希望内容可以精彩多一点。

坏处:
也不晓得这是坏处吗?就觉得,打中文字很累。。要一个一个打,超麻烦!! 真希望这个问题可以快点解决!!

换车?不换车?

刚刚载老四姐,莉去拿她的老爷 Kenari,因为车的老冷气坏了!在车上,我就跟她说,我想换车!莉就很兴奋,“换啦!换啦!!”

我的 2003 年 Inokom Atos 1L 还有一年的车期要还,为什么想要换车?

其实,我只是想换一辆自动手排车!因为我现有的 Atos 是 Manual Gear. 现在古晋的塞车程度真不是夸张!架手排牙,好辛苦哦!!

谈到换车,要换什么车噢?? 我呢,是比较喜欢,小而巧,但不失大方得体,又经济又实用的车!想来想去。。小车型就。。Perodua Viva, Myvi, Kenari ... No No No ! 我不考虑国厂车!虽然 Inokom Atos 也是 assembled in Malaysia, 但是它的 spare parts imported fr Korea ! 所以 maintenance 很低。还有什么小车??? Suzuki Swift, Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz, Hyundai Geltz ... 嗯。。好像不是很经济。。所以在我 list 外。

结论:如果我要换车,Inokom Atos Prima 1.1L 可能是首选哦!!

但我告诉我老四姐,我想换 Atos Prima 时,她也愣住了!Atos 换 Atos Prima,这是个怪人!!

都说了,我只是要换自动手牙车。。而不是因为要 upgrade 自己。

其实如果真的要换车,我又深虑想了一想。如果旧车卖掉,在换新车,我又开始要换车期。新车的车期如果算它是 RM 45,000,摊五年还清,也要每个月 RM 500. 想来想去,觉得我又把钱投资在一个根本不能有盈利的东西上。而且我又成了“车奴”,真是非常不值得!!

倒不如,把每个月 RM 500 所谓的车期,放入信托基金,特别是现在股票跌了40%,每个 NAV 都处于非常吸引人的阶段。错过了这一次,不晓得下一次风暴是几时。如果投资个3-5 年,我每个月的 RM 500, 就有 70-100% 可以有 double 的回酬,RM 45,000 变 RM 90,000 !!! 哈哈!! 那才是我要的经济实惠!!

所以还是别换车了!!

当然,在此也要奉劝各位,投资信投基金,本身一定要做足功课,知道自己的目标和时间期限。可别一路盲目的追求!!

Facebook : YoVille

I had joined Facebook since July 2007. But i didn't get familiarised on their application till Dec 2007. In fact, i had used almost 1 month to get myself familiarised with Facebook. And now, i like it very much !
However, there is one time Facebook has annoyed me, is their applications. Eventhough Facebook is famous for their applications, games ot test .. I seldom fancy for that. I'm only sticks to certain applications where majority of my friends had invited me.
But, one day ....

I don't know who sent me invitation to join YoVille. I was confused at the beginning... likes Facebook ... I'm addicted to it since then ...
Forget about 古惑仔,义气女,Mofia, Pet Society, Typhoon .... I'm addicted to this ONLY !
why ????????? well... simply because it is more like a "Human" games... who care about my pet in Pet Society! Look at my YoVille, creating my imagination on Interior design & decorating ! I almost forgot, my 1st ambition during my high school is to become an interior designer ! ha ha ...
Now to introduce you the YoVille games,
Go to the factory to get more coins. You can walk to it but it's a lot easier to get to it by clicking it on the map (upper left corner). Once you are inside the factory click on the machine that everybody is crowded around to clock in and get your pay. You can work every six hours.

Your room starts out pretty sparse. It's your job to decorate it and get people to rate it so you can climbFont size up the rankings. Go to the furniture store (right next to widget factory) and buy some new furniture. Go back to your house. The easiest way is to click on the Go Home button above the main game. Once you are in your apartment, that button changes to Edit Room. Click it and you can drag your new items into your room, move your old items around, or rotate objects. You start out with three rooms to decorate, as you progress in the game you may find ways to get more rooms.
My YoVille player name is Hannah. Why name Hannah ? well well ...
It just because i like this name & I wish I can my daughter's name as Hannah!
Now i have 1 apartment & 1 1/2 storey bangalow in YoVille. If you have Facebook, join as my YoVille crew !! See you !















Restaurant Closed Down

This afternoon, i had lunch with my old classmates, Alice, Siew Yieng & others at AFTER THREE in Kuching City Centre. Good location, with spacious dining area, air-con, and the Food ........(>.<) ...

To be honest, their food is not superb nice, but is superb bad neither ... I had Laksa .. cost me RM 5.00 with 4 prawns which is not bad !! Alice & Siew yieng had Fish Head Curry with no milk costs RM 6.00 each !! Actually AFTER THREE is one of the popular dining place in Kuching. They do have their strategy to attract customers !! Maybe their ambiance is one of the critical factors.

Actually, Kuching could be considered as one of the Food paradise, with so many variety choices of foods, ranging from Hawker, Middle class Cafe, High class fine dining restaurant, even 5 star hotel delicacies !! most of those who stays in Kuching will know, there are so many cafes, restaurants, pub opened each month ... there are so many closed down each month too !!

Open a new restaurant needs $$ , RM 200,000 plus plus of renovation fee is become a typical things ! after renovated, design of menu to attract the customers ... but most of the time, a restaurant with costly renovation comes with a expensive food. When the food is expensive together with nothing really make to think of their food .. soon and later the restaurant will close down !

i wonder do these restaurant owners did any "Strategy Planning" ?? Planning on promotion strategy ? Food strategy? price strategy ? or are they just simply TRYING ??

There is so many times, when i passed a newly opened restaurant, i was thinking ... when are they going to close down ??? I can't even remember the restaurant name !!

Restaurant open & close down just like children playing game. For me, it is wasting money & energy !!

"伪君子"的基督徒

... Amen .... Amen ....


天啊!!他的言语行为,都不会 "Amen",迟到早退,藉口多多,连非信徒都不如!!

当是他却会告诉人;‘信主很好’,我真不晓得要如何阻止他。
还是就让他继续做个 ‘伪君子’的基督徒 !!

有时候基督徒真的要反省,不是会祷告,每天热心上教会,是教会领袖,会唱诗歌,会背圣经就是基督徒!!

圣经都说;要有基督的样式!!这种敌基督只会让非信者更加反抗基督徒!!

求主怜悯我和他。。。。。。 我们该如何阻止他哦?!

架大车的人请注意 !!

请你驾车时一定要有态度 !! 有 manners!!

不要以为,架一辆几十万的外国进口车,就可以随便乱泊车,超速,以大欺小,防碍交通!!

叫你让车,就一副不肖的样子!!

你的车期还完了吗?? 还没阿,不好意思,那你的车是某某银行的。

记得要还车期哦,要不然会被拉的哦 !!

My First Message in this Blog !!

其实去年 (2008) 就有些过 blog, 那时是用 Yahoo 360,后来写了几次就没心情写了,之后我就把那个 blog page deleted 了 !! 我是满羡慕那些写 blog 的人,因为他们一定要有一点的创意和幽默感才能吸引人看!我好像忘了什么是创意 !!

但我的 blog 应该不会 public 给大众,只想一些比较好的朋友来彼此鼓励 & 彼此 motivate !!

昨晚我也梦到了我的 blog, 我想这次我一定要持续写下去 !!

朋友们,加油咯 !!
