Crisis brings opportunitities: Learning to catch fishes in troubled waters

The financial tsunami reaching into Asian market and it may be bad news for most. Singapore is officially declared in recession.

Many of the stocks reminds me of the overpriced sw*s*n ice cream i had in Orchard road. Suddenly sold like ice cream being paddled by the uncles on ice cream motorbikes selling @ $1 per scoop per cone. (sidetrack)

Think this way. ..if you are home maker, or someone looking forward to long term investment. My foresight is property market in SG. SG is diff from U".S simply because we lack of land and govt have plans to further increase the poplualtion. Pro-family policies including baby bonuses not long ago remember?

Through previous down periods of Singapore banks, we see mergers (DBS-POSB, (keppel bank)). This is not likely to happen as the last merger have consolidated the strs of the major banks now. If the tsunami threatens to destroy MAJOR SG banks like DBS, UOB etc, do you think our govt will sit there and watch the show. Knowing the mentality of our government is another important point. "What goes up will come down" A rubber ball that thrown into the air will come down to the ground and then bounce... (U get the hint?)

This is only a handful of opportunities i see..there are specific ones...but i will not reveal too much for it is better to put things into action than to say a million "do wat"s.

My 2 cents about the financial turbulance.
Last advise : "The hastier u are eager to make quick bucks, the quicker u are likely to lose"

Practical tip to Speed up your Internet on Firefox.

Hi SG Guys and gals,

Do you know that for our normal singtel and starhub Internet users, we do not need IPv6 protocol as the protocol is not used for home consumers?

What is IPv6? U can read from the link below"
Definition and info of IPv6

What this means is that by default IPv6 whenever u surf your net, protocol check and some redundant check on IPv6 will take place (eating up abit of bandwidth). Therefore by disabling IPv6 is a wise and smart move to speed up your internet.

Instruction on Disabling IPv6 for Firefox users:

1. In the Location bar, type about:config, and press EnterReturn.
   • The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. In the displayed list, type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the Filter textbox.
3. Find the entry for network.dns.disableIPv6.
4. If the value is false, double-click on it, to change the value to true.
   • If the value is already true, IPv6 is already disabled, so it isn't causing your problem.
5. Close Firefox, start it again, and try to reach a web site.

If disabling IPv6 doesn't resolve the problem, re-enable IPv6 by setting the preference back to false.

*XP SP 2 I.E Users have IPv6 disabled by default.

Hope u enjoy the tips.

Molested by China Chick

One of the usual guys' past time is to look at eye candies. This is particularly true in the case of my old NS friend who invites me to Geylang for food as well a walk down the alleys to catch some eye candies.

As it has been years since i last seen him and I do not mind seeing some eye candies. (I am honest here :) ) as long as he do not go for some "Extra curricular exercise" and make me wait for him at some coffee shop.

After a sumptuous meal at Geylang, we walked down to the lorongs (alleys), chit chatting and start viewing "arts". I need to admit, temptation is real but a mixture of fear of STD, beliefs and commitment to my fiancee helps suppress it. (Best way to resist is to avoid yourself in those places rather). Temptation however seems to catch my friend when we saw a certain chio PRC lady with her friends nearby. He start to approach *chio PRC babe and asking for cost of services. (you know what).

I went and tapped his shoulder signalling that i am leaving soon. But the friend of the *Chio PRC babe (not too bad looking but i will not call her *chio). I was looking at my friend feelingannoyed when i feel a hand stroking my thigh then to my butt and a voice from the lady saying "Shuai Ge...lai ma...wo hui ran ni hen shu fu de~" (translated: Handsome, come on, I will make u feel very comfortable~).

Feeling disgusted rather than "high", OMG "I am being molested. I signaled to my friend i am leaving that place. and quickly moved off. Going after me and grinning at the same time, he exclaimed "Too bad I am not handsome enough." I felt like punching his face.

From this incident, I learnt few valuable lesson:
1. Never stop walking if you are there for viewing only.
2. If your friend has intention of engaging the services, move off and drop him a call or sms.
3. Stay at least 2 arm lengths from the girls so that you have time to react.
4. Best option is never go with a horny friend.

I still can't help to feel disgusted.
