IllnessesJust few days before diploma semester 4 examination start, my uncle from my mother family had passed away. From what i hear, after eating dinner, he had a short rest or was watching television. Out of the sudden, he fell off the chair. A loud thud took my aunt attention. My aunt who was in kitchen washing the dish was asking him what is going on and he was not responsing. She came out of the kitchen and tried to rescue. The neighbour tried CPR and at the same time, she called for ambulance. Unfortunately, he died at hospital. The cause seem to be heart attack.
I must say that it was shock and sudden happening.
Fortunately i spent few weeks to study Business Finance, Operation Total Quality Management and Computer Application for algebra before it happened. It took 3 days to hold funeral.
With this happening, i was practically thinking that this pig year which i am born in the year of pig was not good year for me. I hoped that my thought wasn't true.
FriendsJunbin literally offered me about the investment on a taiwanese company that sell network products. According to him, putting few ten thousands will effectively give you few thousands return each month. Of course i told him that i am not taking this offer. Since he has invested such money on this company, it seem good deal for people who want passive income like that. However i am abit skeptical.
Based on my logic analysing, when there is no black and white inkling on how much you invest on this company, it will be disastrous if the company close down or ran away with the money.
It will be safer if the company sell normal bonds to you.
Upon hearing that he don't want to work under boss and prefer to sit down and earn money(after all, he is the owner of a simple pub), he swore that he will never touch stock exchange in his whole life when i offer a suggestion of investing money in stock exchange.
Woah.it is one quick thought but i doubt it will last lifetime.
People thoughts eventually change all the time. For instance, Gabriel once told me that he would not touch beer or liquor no matter what circumstance or benefit it is. In the end,he did drink due to his peer pressure.*rolling my eyes* It is one living example proof that people's thoughts do change.
Grace is gentle girl but too naive for her own good. She claim that her belief based on her childhood experience will never change. What the fuck..I was thinking in my mind ,"Come on..you must be stupid to say that." It is ultimate fact that people thoughts do change once they gain such experience that their thoughts do not really work in this way. Thoughts always eiter modify to improved verison of thoughts or change to the correct and sensible thought.
What is her childhood thought? It is 'No time' thinking. I was wondering what she do after class. There are so much free time to revise her studies!!!!How can she have no time to study until the end of the lesson? There are two possible reasons.
1)She has poor time management. 2)She never put studies as her top priority not until the end of the lesson.
She claimed that she has time management. I am quite doubtful but in any case, if you want to study, you have to give up something temporarily. After the examination, you can do what you want. It make a sense.
I was really surprised that Ka Ho and Grace changed their mind. Originally they were not keen studying in UOL because of its non-project and once-a-year exam format. But now, they were applying UOL.
Ka Ho is taking Accounting and Finance while Grace is taking Banking and Finance.
Reading and KnowledgeNowadays i have been reading a lot of finance information and investment. I always like to read and find out public's opinion especially individual ones.
Indeed like what Adam Khoo wrote, it is true that many people dimissed this 'fairy tale' to earn big buck just because Warran Buffet and some successful investors/entrepreneur were smart.
SMART?!?!?! I think they are making a big mistake to think that way. It is possible and realistic path if you work smart by studying and understand the information. I don't think it has something to do with smart or luck as a big role of success.
Yes, luck is one of the factor but it is really the smallest role of success. The biggest role of success is to work smart and get your 'homework' right.
I am still finding and understanding the information until i am ready to make investment.
Warren BuffetWhen i found out that he began investing at age of 11, i was in awe that he was mentally ready for such work. He started to have passive income at his young age.
And i am impressed that he is not going to give all his wealth to his kids.
I would do the same likewise for my kids because my future kids need to learn how to do work based on their interest and passion.
CommentsI will be revamping my website by using frontpage to make use of what i have learnt.
Furthermore, i will not be using any ready-made web design from someone else. Watch it out!

Opinions:
I really like Erika Sawajiri. She has unique look and she is sort of my type but i won't put her among favourite actress list of mine. The first i saw her is from One Litre of Tears. I think she will be famous and one of A-list star in Japan.
Rating:7/10
Bonsus:1)Decent horror story, 2)there is good amount of suspense keeping you wondering how to put he curse to end.
바람피기 좋은날(A Good Day To Have An Affair)(Korean Movie 2007)
Synopsis:
Two bored housewives have affairs with two different men they meet in online chat rooms. As their relationships developed into offline relationships they often pass each other unwittingly in the hallways of the motels where they meet their lovers.
One day, the lady known as “Dew” is in a room with her aged college lover. Suddenly, her husband bursts through their door, along with police officers that he brought. The other lady known as “Small Bird” is in a adjacent room listening to what’s going on in the other room. Small Bird whispers to her lover to be quiet, because the police officer in the other room is her husband
Opinions:
The title look cheesy to me. Out of curiosity i watched it. To my surprise it was philosophy thing towards love and viewpoints of bored housewives. I wasn't bored watching this whole around 1 hour 49 minutes movie. I recommend to those who are at the age of early 20 onwards. There is a young male actor. I remembered that i saw him acting in a korean drama show in the role of high school. I was surprised that korean cast decide to include him in the film where he has to touch boobs and butt of older female actress. It show that Korean is pretty open minded unlike Western and other Asian counterparts in film industry. *thumb up* It call for realistic show. i bet that he is younger than me! I can understand why many married women have affairs because of not being in sync with their husbands. It is really no surprise. For goodness sake, it is better to marry someone who bring spark in your life rather than a killer look with no ability to spark your life.
Rating:7/10
Bonusus:1)Good philosophy 2)nice plot
