Morgan and Goldman becoming Commercial Banks!

I woke up this morning feeling groggy from the lack of sleep last night cos little Kelly had a nose block and was crying! Carol's gone to work now, Jamie is off to school and as I sit at my 'SOHO' trying to digest what I learnt at the seminar yesterday... I couldn't!
Let me rest my brain a bit..I'm watching the market and CNN reports Morgan and Goldman becoming like commercial banks, being able to take deposits and being holding companies for other financial institutions in trouble. The US Gomen sure is working hard to rescue the markets with a 1,000 pt movement to the upside the last 2 trading days from their rescue plan. USD700B is the price tag but where does the money come from? It seems like they have endless reserves or are they printing..? hmmm Reminds me of Danaharta! Here i am selling (shorting) the futures in anticipation of more political uncertainty but still welcome the boost we got ahead of the US markets positive closing! We'll see what happens the next few days as Anwar presses for a no confidence vote on our dear sleepy PM!

IPASS- Affiliate Systems Seminar

I spent the last two days attending Stuart Tan's IPASS seminar with the hope of being able to create marketable websites and I came up with 2! Its a start! Please check out www.treatingsportsinjuries.blogspot.com and www.ilovedigitalphotography.blogspot.com This is the beginning of my journey into cyberspace and I hope it'll be just as fun creating it as it is delivering it!

Can hardly keep my eyes open now so I'm gonna catch some zzzzzzzz............

Mushu giving birth to her... grandkids?


If one dog year is equivalent to seven human years (so I hear), then our beloved Mushu would be 77. That is greater than the life expectancy of most people in our society today. Except for the Japanese (they hit 85 on average) because a few of the oldest people in the world come from Japan. Not too hard to imagine being old but what if you're giving birth at 77? ugh! Mushu just gave birth to two pups, one of each gender and they are so cute! They have since been given away otherwise, we'd have four dogs in the house! Take care of them, May! ..muah!

Australia..Here we come!!



It's been 3 years since we started applying for a PR in Melbourne, Australia. Got rejected once but decided to reapply in August 2007. Its now August 2008 and I just received an email from the agent..finally, we got our PR! I was overjoyed and my heart was racing as I read the email over and over again! I called Carol immediately and told her about it. She was silently ecstatic because she was still in the office! I emailed her the letter just in case she thought I was playing a trick on her.. again! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for this open door! Now comes the hard part, knowing that it has been approved, what do we do next? I'll let u know when I get there..

Ok..So we like to celebrate everything.. How about a do for Beijing Olimpigs?






We Malaysians like to celebrate! Especially our cell where when there's food involved, people will arrive at your doorstep! We had guests of about 20 plus mostly from our cell and it was great fun! China did well at the opening ceremony, making it a tough act to follow for the Pommies in 2012! It was a proud moment especially literally thousands participated in the beating of drums! That was cool!! We also took the opportunity to celebrate a couple of August babies namely Genie, Tracy and Ian.
