Financial Turmoil

It started off with Lehman Brothers declaring bankrupt, closely followed by AIG shouting for help. Stock markets all over the world plummet like nobody business. Indices yoyo-ing up down up down. So roller-coasterish..... :(

As at now, my stocks' portfolio has gone down for 45%. This is crazy. Looking at the stock market now, all the blue chips are damn cheap (oops, JJ, if you are reading this, please do not imitate me using the "damn" word).

So, should I feel sad or happy? I feel like going shopping, for stocks........

Yielding to Temptation

01st December 2007. I started my shopping on this day (er, for Christmas -- this is a good excuse ne :P) and I'm telling you, you can just feel the festive moods are in the air :)!

Aiyo, can you imagine all the Christmas decorations at Orchard Road were up around November and you can see those shopping malls ain't going to lag behind. Their Christmas trees and those bling bling decors were up as well! Christmas carols are also blasting all over places! Incredible! Now with 23 more days to go, better start planning, if you got parties to go.

Now, with sales and more sales, and those Christmasy gorgeous goodies to go for, now what should we gals do? I say let's throw caution to the wind and do what American writer, Mark Twain said: "I deal with temption by yielding to it." Hmm...and I thought Oscar Wilde said that.

Anyway, am looking forward to the holidays coz it will be some long holidays for me. How I wish I've made plans to have a white Christmas. The nearest I had had was 7 years ago at HK. Too bad, no snow. Perhaps must plan one for next year.

Now, I must go and hang up the Christmas wreath on my door :).
