unsatisfactory life?
I'm FINALLY able to refill my inkjet... save 60%, no more new cartridge just refill it!!! :D
But it was so difficult for sure to refill it, I almost sacrifice my finger just to open the stupid lid...
Stupid me to think that the cartridge itself would have a hole for me to inject it easily... i should've thought if it has that kind of thing, cartridge sales will drop hehehe...
Enuf about inkjet refill, just now I chatted with a friend of mine who is currently going on holiday...
She said she gets bored holidaying for too long so she just will spend the rest of the day going online and chatting...she also mentioned she's sick of shopping... and I went WHATTTT?!?@!?$@?@ 0___0
I said well lucky you... I'm even struggling to save few bucks here yet you said u're sick of shopping...SIGH !-____-
She said "yeah I have money to spend, but still I'm not happy"...
That was sad.. but that reminds me that human is never satisfied... well some ppl are satisfied with what they've got now but some are not...
Hehe maybe they simply haven't found what it is they're trying to achieve in life...
For me, I can't wait to earn some bucks again next year when I start working again...
For now, let's pray and see, who knows my portfolio value would get triple in value within the next month :-)

Hot day ! -___-
Today's lecture was as usual... I feel bad actually talking funny about this lecturer but even he tried to talk loud in front of the class, I who happened sat in the 4th row barely could hear him... or was it my eardrums only??? :| Ah yeah, and he likes to say "lalala" -> read: blah blah blah hehe
I didn't end up studying today, had to help my bro doing something...
I saw my friend who enthusiastically started to study since last weekend and it started to motivate me to study.... I was like saying Gambateh Gambateh! to myself (imagining the spirit of Japanese students who will take Todai's exam :p) but "ummm.. ehe ehe slowly opened crunchyroll, found a funny korean drama, and thought hehehe this is my last one before exam" MY WILL HAS GONE :P hahaha
Anyway, for my friends who have exams in the next 2 weeks, good luck! :-)
For those of you who don't have exams, please lead us not into temptation :-) Amen...

Humility
So yeah, humility...that was today's homily about...
During the homily the Father walked around and asked the people what humility is about...
Then one lady mentioned something that I really thought about when I came in, she said, "never take things for granted... people tend to ask more and more and never be thankful for what they've got in their lives... She said when you lose something then you will understand... but of course we don't want to lose something just to make us understand right?
Another thing being mentioned was about having faith to Jesus and always believe that everything is possible. I am not sure what it has something to do with humility at first, but i think, having faith in someone means we give our full trust in someone that he/she will do something that we can't (beyond our ability). And being able to do this is the same as being humble. Am I right? :S
Well regardless of the answer, I enjoyed my time when I was at the church.
Ah yeah I wanna join WYD08 but I heard that you have to follow it for 2 weeks... that means u have to take leave for about 2 weeks... 0___0 how can i get tat luxury?? Oh Man... !-___-

HAHA!
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it doesn’t bother me too much… my farts never smell, and they’re always quiet. But I’ve been doing it very often.”
The doctor asks her to explain more, and the old lady says, “In fact, I’ve farted at least 20 times since I’ve been here in your office. You probably didn’t know I was farting because they don’t smell and they’re silent.”
The doctor says, “I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week. “The next week the lady comes back.
“Doctor,” she says, “I don’t know what the heck you gave me, but now my farts…although still silent…stink terribly.”
The doctor says, “Good!!! Now that we’ve cleared up your sinuses, let’s work on your hearing.”
Quiet Saturday
Pardon me for complaining too much hehe... I've finally finished my assignment today. I will need to recheck it tomorrow though...
Today I woke up quite late so I missed the bbq >.< I guess staying back yesterday wasn't good at all. My body is so sore today, guess I haven't been exercising for so long :(
So I went swimming today with my friend and went to sauna afterwards... Feeling so tired right now but I guess I'm a bit refreshed now :)
So what's new? errr... nothing is... today is so quiet for me coz I've been doing my assignment for the whole day hehe..
Ah yeah, I think some car with front tow bar banged my car :( I was soo pissedd but then it happened when it was parked... can't do anything :(
Today I haf bad news too... my friend just canceled her trip to Jakarta due to some reason. Sigh I guess I need to travel myself then... Lucky I have some friends living there... hope they'd be free when I am around.... Indo! Wait for me!!!!

My lovely lecturer
I emailed my lecturer yesterday asking for another time arrangement coz he missed it.. so he apologized and arranged some time for me today.
I brought 4 other people with me today and he wasn't that happy hahaha...
This lecturer was kinda funny. I began asking him questions, he wasnt focused before so he asked me to repeat my question, he replied "Ah you are asking very good question, but why you asked a very complicated question? To answer that question, errr.... errr..." * he then started drawing nice pictures in his scrap paper and mumbling about something that none of us understood...
I then asked him again following what he has explained us and he said "err... you know the answer but you haven't thought about it!"
How can he know I know the answer and HAVEN'T REALLY THOUGHT about it? O__o
I think being in derivatives market too long can really teach you about psychology as well. Market <-> investors' behaviour -> psychology.
Then my friend asked me a very simple question:
My friend: What sort of information do you expect us to write in the report?
Lecturer: Errr... (started drawing and mumbling about how to do the previous question being asked)
My friend + the rest: ??????
My friend: OK, how deep should we explain the theory for question 6?
Lecturer: Errr... (started drawing and mumbling about the theory)
My friend + the rest: ??????
Wow, he's too clever so that we couldn't understand what he was trying to say. Yes, he was the one who quickly went out from the cafetaria, jumping around, and waving at A380 plane !-___-
Anyway, I am trying to work it out my own way now... I guess leaving assignment behind is a bad idea but it's also students' behavior which is difficult to fix.
Ah yeah, I have an elementary school friend (Fella) who just got married in Israel... Congrats for her and her husband... :-)
And the last update is about my expected parcel that I've picked up today...
My hope has gone in a sec. I didn't expect such thing to be sent using registered post.
I just got my e-toll tag :-( wakakakakakaa

Another same day
I went to the consultation time with some of my friends and guess what??? Unsurprisingly, the lecturer wasn't at his office... ehmm... disappointing! very disappointing!!!! and what didnt surprise me was tat 2 of my friends saw him sitting in a cafe having a cup of coffee with 2 girls (they know 1 girl is a PhD student)...
A380 superjumbo then flew above him and he quickly went out and waved at the plane :|
Man... I'm so embarrassed having a childish lecturer who chose 2 girls over his KAWAII students >.< *knocked out*
Ive sent him email and asked him to rearrange the appointment... hope we can do it tomorrow :S Monday is the due date and now we have no idea :| Sigh...
Today also got a parcel awaiting to be collected at the post office... I wonder who sent it... there's no occasion really to send me something... errr did I win lottery??? I wish -___- I never bought one tho hehe...
Maybe I've got some good news about winning some holiday to US or Europe??? Err...it shouldnt be a parcel then :|
Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow (hopefully I can make some time in the afternoon to collect it)!
Share market, oh well oh well not doing so good but not that bad either, some of my shares went up quite a bit but I still made loss :'(
It's time for me to pay my plane ticket and credit card bills too... I need money I need money... can you guys donate me some cash??
Just drop me email if you want to know which account you need to transfer.. doomo arigatoo gozaimasu!!!

Welcome Dinner
I had fun but had to go through few troubles too...
I attended the welcome dinner that was organised partly for me by my future employer. I haven't joined them yet and will join on February.
OK, the dinner was at Cafe Sydney. The food was great and the view was fabulous :D wont mind going there again :P The people were great, I had a lot of fun, they were all friendly and they love playing cards during lunch break... Yay! look forward to working with them :-)
I had barramundi with a prawn and scallop filled zucchini flower, kipfler potatoes, baby beans, olive tapanade and sauce vierge. Yum!!!
I also had warm chocolate pudding with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. This was good too but a little too sweet :)
It's great to see and know my future team before you start working with them...
All of them were guys though... I guess when they know 1 girl will join, they would ask more girls hehe..
Well that was the fun bit, the trouble is another thing but I won't share with you.. sorry coz it's a private thing :P
Another thing to worry about, assignments and exams !-___-
I had 2 glasses of wine today so I'd better meet the pillow and the bed now :D nighto!

Kuitan - 喰いタン
Just finished watching jdorama series called Kuishinboo Tantei... shortened... KUITAN! (1 and 2). Total episodes maybe around 19 episodes (9 for Kuitan and 10 for Kuitan II).
I thought Kamenashi Kazuya will join the second series... but my hope was turned down :(
But still it was funny...
Kuitan, also known as "gluttonous detective"... nice and funny story.
For those of you who likes My Boss My Hero, you may also like this one.. Maybe it's from the same production house :|
The ending was shibarashii... a bit touching tho -___- I hate farewell...
Gomen if I mentioned the ending here.. but I'm pretty sure you can guess when you watch it :P
What next eh? I think next is Portfolio Management Textbook or Derivatives Market?
I really have to study buy I guess the mood has changed :S
I would rate this drama ehmmm 7/10. It's worth watching though...
If you love food like me, you would enjoy it a lot... but if you are in a diet.. I don't suggest you watching it... it would discourage you hehe.. !
ASX gained a little following US market
DJSE - + 0.33%
Nasdaq - +1.06%
S&P500 - +0.38%
Following this positive movement, ASX has gained around 0.5% since the opening half an hour ago...
Hope this would lift investors' confidence.. Come on! prove it that we're doing a lot better than 20 yrs ago and things have changed...

I think this is quite true. And also I'm very easy to sleep and difficult to wake up. But I don't snore though...
What is sinistra btw?? Any idea??
Anyway, just now I updated this post coz I want to make it clear, I am B but I am not as bad as you think.
Don't be afraid of having a girlfriend who has B type :P hahahaha what am I talking about??????
Eva Cassidy
My friend introduced her songs to me... thanks yuenqi!
Poor her, she died at young age... may she rest in peace...
-Autumn Leaves-
-Tennessee Waltz-
Anyway, just wanna share good songs with you guys :-)
Enjoy!
Prank calls
I don't know who did this but it already happened maybe almost 10 calls in a week. Sigh....
Is it my secret admirer ?? :P haha. im kidding... Is it possible that he is looking for different number but why this asian girl always picked up my phone?? :| It might be the case tho... ehmm...
I talked to my friends about this and we were like analysing the situation and 2 of them suggested me to bring pepper spray just in case someone is really stalking my place... but the best solution is to practice my martial arts... chiatttt...(as if I have the skills)...
Anyway, I had lecture with my interesting lecturer today...
He taught a lot better today than before, maybe coz he's running out of time... I can't believe he wll extend the week to 15 weeks to cover week 14's material... man... I don't think he'll survive next year when the number of weeks is reduced to 12. :| good luck!
It's time to start opening my lecture notes, text books and use them to sleep hahaha..
Errr... why im so lazy... I wanna get CFA certification too but i heard it's damn hard :(
It's expensive too... anyone want to give men scholarship for that??? plz... -____-
Uni ball is coming.. want to go but no partner, no close friend will join either...
And since I'm not involved in the project either, I can't get the extra discount... it's so expensive...:(
Aww.... poor me eh?? hahaha...
Ok, time to eat... Im happy when I eat at least :D
Itadakimasu!!!

20th Anniversary of the Black Monday
I was too afraid to login to my account and check so I took a peek at some of my share's prices...
Yep, as expected it went down quite sharp. Overall, since opening, Australian stock market has decreased about 2.2% today :( This is still waiting for the opening of US market later tonight...
I believe so many investors waiting for this day, waiting for stock market crash so that they can enter and buy cheap stocks... I'm not sure if this is what analysts are waiting too...
It seems that some analysts are trying to find some downsides of this market. Even some companies are doing well, e.g. 3M, Honeywell, McDonalds, it seems that analysts were trying to find some excuses (i.e. bad news) about them and scared out investors. Obviously, this would make the investors lose confidence and sell off their stocks, making the share price dropped.
We're waiting for BHP and (ANZ?) to bring us good news to give investors the confidence back.
Well in this kind of situation, people take advantage of each other. So, can't blame anyone for the bear market. Just pray (like me -____-) that your stock won't fall very badly.

Will we have the same 1987 Black Monday?
People are reminded of a very serious and dramatic event that happened on October 19, 1987. It was when Wall Street shares fell 23 per cent in a day and triggered a cascading global effect...
Many analysts tried to compare today's condition with the past' and tried to conclude that the condition is different so we shouldn't have the same impact as in the past. But I still think the market can't be easily predicted. People's fear and rationality drive the movement.
Just put on your seatbelt. We'll wait and see...
Stock market will crash again on Monday???
He said the impact would be felt the most in Asian market... Well if it's a serious problem then it might impact Australian market too with no doubt...
I still have stocks now but I didn't follow the news lately as I didn't want to feel depressed about it and wanted to focus on other things... but I normally check my portfolio on daily basis..
I remember one day almost all of stocks had green change (i.e. they all increase in value) as well as my mutual fund... but lately I also feel that all of them started to decrease again...
I didn't pay much attention until I chat with this friend who always monitors JSX (Jakarta Stock Exchange) movement..
Anyone knows about this? I don't think I would do anything about my stock as I believe the stock market will rise in long term... yes, i may lose some opportunity as I could have earned more money when I deposit them in the bank...but as long as I don't lose money (not considering the risk-free rate that I could've earned) :|
But I just want to know more without reading the news that I am behind :/

ASSignment...
This lecturer of mine is very interesting...
No doubt in his knowledge but I have a lot of doubts he'll be OK next year when the semester period will be reduced from 14 weeks to 12 weeks...
He began this story by giving us 8 assignments to complete in 12 weeks.. So that means we almost need to submit something every week. To make it worse, he said he would choose the best 3 and the worst 2 and average them. This would count 50% of our total results...
But then the faculty didn't allow him (maybe so many students protested to the faculty). So he STILL gave 8 assignments but it's up to us to submit how many assgs to him and then he would choose the best 2... hmmm this sounds better :)
"HAHAHA, I won't give you an easy life by doing this" -> I guess this is what in his mind :P
Coz he's being TOO difficult to us... man... he asked 8 long questions and he asked us to write the report with max 2 pages... How can i write this??? SIGH... -_____-!
Should I write in 5pt font? But then he already wears thick glasses so I think it's not possible :P
Hmm.. I'll see if I can meet him for a consultation... My friend said he was being too difficult to answer our questions and he would always suggest reading the textbook. The fact is the textbook doesn't have some materials that he talked about... hmmm maybe he hasnt even read the textbook... poor us :|
Anyway, wish me luck -___-
Nice joke...
Why British think 80% of Malaysians coming to UK to study Law?
UK Immigration Officer: Purpose of visit?Visitor: I'm here to study law,sir.
Officer: You know, you must have a lot of lawyers in Malaysia .
Visitor: Why do you say that?
Officer: Well, i've been here for a good twenty years, and I'd say 80% of Malaysians I see here say they're here to read law.
Visitor: Oh, really? That's really something i never knew. Hard to believe in fact.
Officer: Just you watch, then. You just stand here until the next Malaysian comes along, and I'll bet he's here to read law.
*Visitor waits for 5 mins, Ah Chong from Malaysia comes to immigration counter*
Officer: Mr. Ah Chong, purpose of visit?
Ah Chong: Study lorr...

Intermezzo...(?)
I forgot to upload this one on my last post...
I upload this now as this picture was accidentally taken when the camera fell down from the tripod hehe I was the only one captured here... the camera was smart, it knew who the prettiest among other was :P hehehe...
But it turned out to be just blue picture... err... I thought this was not that bad considering many artistic picture was kinda weird :P
Ah.. I need to go to my previous company...I'll have lunch with some ex-colleagues there and of course, meet my superiors too ;) CiAo!

Trip to Sydney
It's not my trip to Sydney hehe it's my best friend and her fiance's trip to Sydney along with their 2 friends...
It was fun but quite tiring... considering I was always driven by someone and I never paid attention to the road, I think I did a good job driving them around...
we went to Woollomolloo's Harry's Cafe De Wheels... the famous hot dog, pies & peas in Sydney...
It was a very hot and sunny day... ehmmm this would be a very good day for many people but Indonesian :P We were like trying to block the sun, looking for places with air conditioning haha so I brought them to Bondi Junction Mall. It was a pity I couldn't find parking during the day in the city coz I wanted to show them the QVB Mall instead. I think Bondi Junction was nothing special to show them as Jakarta and Singapore's Malls were heaps bigger and nicer than that :-/
Ah yeah, they stayed in Capitol Square Hotel in the city and after we had lunch I pointed exactly the same hot dog just behind their hotel hehehe AKIRA SHOCKED 0____0
I then took them to Bondi beach coz we're gonna have Hurricane Ribs...ehmmm yummm! afterwatds....
We took a lot of pictures there... I think we took a lot of pictures everywhere ahhaha...
- us in bondi beach -
Err... the wind was so strong that day... haha we tried to come up with a theme when took these pic but 1 girl always tried her own way hahaha :P
This is another pic... I got plenty of pics haha but no we don't want to be called "narcist club" hehe...
From Hurricane, I drove 1 girl to the hotel and we went down to Sydney Opera House... It was nice but cold and windy -___-
Lucky enuf my friend brought his tripod along so we could get some good shots of Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House.
We even went in to the opera house and saw around... A pity there was an opera playing so we couldn't check out some places inside the opera...
Hmmm why do I sound so excited as if this was my first? hehe... I think coz I haven't met them for ages and now I met them in Sydney not in Indo!!!! woohoo!!!
Then in Opera House... OKOK the last pics heheh...
Love to laugh with them so much that would make me forget about my assignment! 0__o
Sigh... i needed to stay back til 3 to do my assignment.... this wasn't good :S

What I am doing now?
Hmmm isnt it something that twitter asks its users..
Right now, I am (of course) typing some texts to fill in my post :p hehe.. Nah... I actually spend my most of my time recently thinking, chatting, coding?... Hmm I don't know if that could be considered coding but yes, I am trying to improve my website with my brother. It started to become more difficult since he went back to my home country...considering Internet connection speed isn't that good... sigh -___-
I think about many things... about my problems, my family's, my friends'...
I don't know why problems can't stop flooding my life, even it is not mine, sometimes I feel that I need to help others'... I chat a lot too lately... it's not because I need to consult but becoz I have a lot of friends who cannot stop talking :P hahaha I can't wait to link this blog to those who can't stop blogging either :P
Ah yeah, I've shared some Japanese songs with my friend today and remembered there was a good Jap song that has a guy *the singer* walking with some instruments singing and playing harmonica... I remember the color of his clothes/cap is orange and a lot of ppl crowd him (including hi school students) I can't remember the title :(
I've been wondering what the title of this song is so if any of u who read this post and know what song it is, please let me know in the comment :-) SANKYUU...
Hmmm... 00.31 ka? I always sleep very late lately... I need to change this sleep pattern as I always fee tired the next day I woke up...
Anyway, tat's all for today...naito!
My first post
Umm.. it's actually not my first post but then I tend to be overly busy to blog :-) and I think it's still valid to say that this is my first post in this blog.
Well I am creating this blog with the hope that I would continue updating daily considering Ive resigned my job and went back to do my full time master now :-)
