Two cents worth .....

Wealth builders understand a fact that we common people might take years to learn..you have to keep your spendings down when your income increases. Why do we feel the need to spend more when we make more? Most of us complain that money is not enough..with the current life expenses rising up .. but do you know that our income have also risen over the past decade? Compare to our neighbouring countries , we are earning many more times and are catching up behind Hong Kong and Japan.

Here is what I think: when you are poor, you are surrounded by things you think you would like to own but simply cannot afford to buy. Soon, you equate the feeling of unsatisfied desire with poverty... if your idea of being wealthy is filled with images of gucci handbags ...expensive watches...merz and benz...you are going to have a tough time saving money...unless you are born with a silver spoon or some datuk's son/daughter..when most of us aren't...And everytime we are making an extra dollar, we spend two, how true is that!!

and saving money is another one of the common habits of people who know how to build wealth...and you have to start from young ..

you must teach yourself to feel the truth: that every time you buy a depreciating asset which could be a fashion piece..you become poorer. Remind yourself that most of the junk you buy becomes unused after a few months and does not provide much value anyway...well I am not saying that we shouldn't shop but shop and spend wisely. We are all victims of fashion and style and most of the time foolish fashion. Things that might look good on others might not look good on us...People fail to admit that...blame it on ego.. We see people buy , we also follow blindly..monkey see monkey do..part of singaporean culture I guess..

It takes lots of discipline too to save..so much distraction and peer pressure..we all want to look good right? Nowadays when I saw something that I fancy out of impulse...be it a ring, shirt or bag, I will hold my urges and think calm...would I wear it often, does it fit my overall appearance... and do I have the spare cash to spend? hoarded by all this thoughts, most of the time i would just walk away...haha..it works well for me...and I ended up richer by a few dollar each time.. The only time I would spend freely is when i am in bangkok....cos the exchange rate makes sense to spend more..and the local fashion are exquisite...hard to find in singapore:)

make sense right?

Boring day....

What a boring boring day...sometimes I wondered why there are 24hrs per day why cn't it be 18 or 20 hours per day ...lidat things happen fast and no need to wait so long wat..haahah...my wishful thinking.

lidat where got time to date gals??hahaa...

My all time fav song...

Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

Blind

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as she turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know

A part of me dies when I let you go

Love is blind and its a torture ...knowing that nothing will come out of it....

Its OVER....

The world cup is finally over.... and what's left in me is a tinge of sadness. The france team, which have given us supporters so much hope and the message they have transmitted that age is not an obstacle ..have failed to deliver their promise. The 2006 world cup winner is rightfully theirs and was within reach but tragedy strucks .. not once but twice. I would have thought they are linked .

I have utmost respect for Zidane but the behavior in the last dying mins of extra time shock me! Why would someone butt his head against his opponent is something which I have beeen thinking the past 24 hours till now.... is it cos of something materazzi said? or was zidane trying to make a history out of this match by doing something that is utterly unexpected and perhaps..foolish? Well..its his last world cup anyway ...this is something that we will always remember down the football history. Maybe cos of this Trezegate miss his penalty shoot...well what's done is done. He did not look confident at all when he took the shot.. could be due to zidane absence.

I doubt that France will have a good chance in the next world cup or Euro cup as this is probably the best team they could have since France 98. Many players will be going into retirement after this and we have not seen many potential young france players besides Frank Ribery...

I would really like to hear from the great Zenedine Zidane why did this happen. He was so close to being a hero again ... It is so unfair to the millions of fans and supporters esp the french people who are ready to party on the streets that night. You bring hope to us and you crush it in the next moment. ....why why why???

Kudos to the italians ...though they don't play nice football ..catenaccio actually...( in English it means playing defensively in numbers which is quite boring to watch...Singlish means kiasi)
They are very well organised and calm during the match...they did not sustain any red cards which I have find it very strange ...the italians are known for their disciplinary problems in the field. They can really hold their heads high now and won the world cup after 16 years of waiting.
Basically they are a rather young team and I anticipate that they will also do well in Euro 2008.

Its goodbye to delifrance and hello to italian pizzas for me! haha..
