.Bad times ahead

Everyday we hear news about recession, unemployment, more frauds and other bad things...

I was just reading an email sent by my friend and it was about some financial advice by Warren Buffet.

Thought I can just share it and we can all learn from it. Enjoy!

Warren Buffet's advice for 2009

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism.

Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations.

Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health.

They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future.

This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older.

This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

* Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

* Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

* Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [At least make your Investments get you second earning]

* Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.

* Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left after saving.

* Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

* Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

* Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.

* Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [ Have an alternate plan ready ]

* Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.


I'm certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy.

I'm equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

.New Found Love

It’s amazing how time really flies! And its nearing the end of March. I noticed – I haven’t really done much except to work and rest and being sick.

I had a fun time in HK! Will update the pics here soon. But my facebook has them! Lalala… Anyway I’m just too lazy to put it all up for now… So le chey!

But what I really want to announce to the whole world – I found my new love!!!

No, I didn’t ditch V for a new guy. Don’t think I will…. for now.

*raises brow* hahahah…. Just kidding la!

I simply had another guy in my life! Sounds like some scandal that I’m having, right?

The best part is V loves him too! I love him too!

Aww… so cute, right! If you don’t like dogs or this breed, you must still say that it’s cute!

The many (and is really ALOT) failed attempts to take a good shot of him...

Anyway I have sorta given up trying to snap a nice shot of him – cos’ he can never keep still! He zooms around when I’m trying to take a shot. And he keeps still when we’re not taking pictures of him! Na…bei… haahhahaha

Huey – the English Spaniel. Well, that’s what they claim him to be. I heard from Ed that his might not be a purebred ACS. And V suspects he might be an ACS too… But be it an English or American – he’s still an adorable pup~

And the name is pronounced as Hue-wee. Not Ah Huey...

We got him from Pet Movers. Although there has been negative talks about them – but this pup was really a gem from that place! V says it like my SUPER belated birthday gift.

Oh well~ you can’t get a dog and say it’s a gift.

I’m just so glad we got him and not other breeds like the beagle (hyper), cavalier (gets a lil’ ugly & expensive), poodle (hyper and noisy) or Italian greyhound (not very adorable).

He’s like an angel and a devil at the same time! Don’t know where to place him. At the pet shop, he was like “awww… so shy”. The moment he reached our place – wah~ he gets more and more active as the days go. Getting used to us, I guess.

And so especially cute when he chase the squeaky ball and he always seem to like, understand what we’re talking about. He barks when we talk. And only when we talk! Hahaha… getting into the conversation with us.

And just the third day I got him, I was down with a really really bad headache. You know – those that you can’t even move or talk (even the clock ticking is so deafening). ‘Cos it hurts so much to do anything. You just feel like dying!

When V called me to check on the dog and me – the moment I mentioned his name “Huey”, he started barking!

Hahha… must be saying, “talking about me, right? Don’t think I don’t know”

LOL! Okay, I was being lame.

Honestly – I still like the name “Thomas"

K la~ Huey it is!

We'll be bringing him to the vet this Saturday and

to end this post with a short video of him barking in action!
