You De Mei De...

My stomach hasnt felt this good for eons. Seriously, i have forgotten the 'normal' feeling that one should feel about meals. It has never been an enjoyment to munch on something for the past 3 months or so, slowly though , i am beginning to have cravings. The bill just came for the gastroscope..guess how much it costs? gastroscope plus half-a-day B1 ward along with ac and meals...... it's only $161.. i really have no idea why am i subsidied so much, my grandma underwent the similar thing at SGH for $300+, shouldnt an elderly get more subsidy? hmm.. weird ... also, consultation alone costs $40+, but day surgery cost $161.. what gives? i was recommended to go to CGH by my sis bf, who is doing his housemanship there. He said that the waiting list is really short relatively speaking and that there are fewer patients there as compared to TTSH and SGH.... indeed, it is a world apart as compared to TTSH and SGH.

Anway... my finance tutor is kinda qualified, he is a CFA and a CPA .. hell...

His current holdings:
25%-China 25%-India 50%-Taiwan (all equity funds) 0% Cash.. (Clap clap got guts.. tonnes of guts)

Mine:
34%-T Bills (No guts) 5%-Real Estate 4%-Infrastructure 30%-Bond and 27%-Equity(global index fund+individual stock)

Holding a lot of cash and bonds now..too risk adversive maybe..abit too much for my age...am transfering my cash position to equity though abeit at a really slow pace given the current market situations. Waiting for the news guy to shout "Stocks selling on discounts!! Buy Ah!!, " like real... haha..what they would really say though is something like " US stocks stumbles overnight, Dow Jones Industrial Index fell 5000 points... ". Whatever lar, as long as it falls i happy. . i tried to type about technical analysis here the previous night but it is really hard... so maybe i will discontinue my previous post on trading/investing for now...

took me a while to find this video, cos, i dunno its title..cept for the chinese opera sounding music at the beginning and in the middle, the rest are okie..
