Term Break

Term break is finally here. First half of the semester passes really quickly while many of us are still worried on how to study for Neurobiology. Term break is a love and hate kind of affair. Though we love the break from school, it also means that exams are coming......... and there is much to study and catch up with submission of lab reports and tests after the term break. Therefore term break was never really a break for us but.....we are all prone to slacking anyway. September is quite a busy month for me to catch up with friends. I like to hang out and spend time chatting with my friends. It is a kind of escapism from the daily busy life and boredom of school and home. Being holed up alone is just so sad. Spending in September is higher also due to buying of plane ticket to fly to Vietnam after the exams, so gotta work to make up for the spending.

One of the night went to a birthday party of my University friend at Conrad hotel and saw the lobby has a lounge for english tea. Seems like they have good tea, might try that out for relaxation after the exams. But I prefer something with food.

September is a time for me to be more conservative on my portfolio as a correction seem to be coming soon. Though the market went higher in September, it started a downwards slide for the past 3 days. Lost money on OSIM as it did not move as much as I expected hence decided to sell it and liquidify my cash for better stocks.

Soon we will cross to October, which is going to be another sian month as exams are even closer.

Marrying a Rich Guy

Nice article on tips on snagging that rich guy.

Bearish for now

Did I mentioned US market MACD is showing a bearish signal? STI failed to clear 2700 these few days so expect some down market. However market may ding dong up and down for a consolidation.

STI Might Test 2700

Looking at the MACD and current US market. Seems like Singapore index might test the 2700 pts resistance. If it breaks it has to maintain it for STI to go further up.
On the other hand, US market MACD indicators seem to be starting to trend bearish......

STI kelong

Now last night Dow pushes up to over 9700 pts breaking resistance. Today all markets surged except for Singapore market which dropped. This means Singapore index has not been able to break through the 2700 pts mark yet. If it does not manage to break the resistance for in the next few days then it will continue with it's correction.

Relaxing Tuesday

Woke up on a Tuesday morning, washed up and sat down in front of the computer with a cup of milk on the table. It feels so relaxing today able to wake up at a later timing...............ok I skipped class but nothing beats a good night rest and doing your favorite thing in the morning, reading the news, sipping on a cup of your morning beverage and looking how the market is reacting. I was wondering will I get to do this once I start working? Is this the life that I'll get once I have reached financial freedom?
To achieve this I'll need to be more consistent in building up my profits. Hmmm I wonder what will I be like when I'm older? Will it be wearing suits and hugging ladies?

China Daily ran this photograph with the caption: "Warren Buffett, widely acknowledged as the 'Oracle of Omaha' embraces Li Guilian, chairwoman of Dayan Trands, a sign of the friendship and respect he developed for one of China's leading businesswomen."

I like the new firefox

The new firefox now got designer background! Isn't it pretty? You can choose the different backgrounds once you updated to the newest firefox.

Headache

Having a big headache today. I think it started yesterday night when I felt chilly and cold through the night with headache. I think school has taken it's toll on my health as the super early wakeups and late night sleeping is causing lots of stress buildup. I'm not sure there's more suffering to come. ARGH.

Hiking

Went for a trip on Thursday to Bukit Timah Hill organized by one of my module: BS305 Plant Biology. It's actually a field trip to there as a lab session to show us the different types of plant in Bukit Timah Hill. Had to do a lab report after this. *Grumbles*
But it was quite a fun trip as it was a guided tour learning about the types of plant and trees and why do they have certain features that helped them to survive and spread their seeds.
It's been quite a while since I first hiked up to Bukit Timah Hill, probably been years! There's more to be discovered uphill. Heard there's a dairy farm up there so I'll be hiking up there again sometime later.


Thereafter went to watch "Moon" on Friday after lecture at the Picture House. It's a pretty good sci fi film. The first thing that came to my mind when I came across the trailer is that it reminded me of 2001: Space Odyssey. Though the story is pretty basic but it kept me glued to my seat due to the great acting. If you like sci fi shows, then do catch it.
