Cash Flow Board Game 101

I believe those who read Rich Dad Poor Dad may know a board game named Cash Flow. It is a board game created by the author, Robert Kiyosaki.

I wanted to play it since few years ago. I finally had the chance to play it. Calvyn (as host), Sherming, Sean, Eddy and I were playing in Asamu, Farlim today. Thanks to Calvyn for organising today's game. Thanks to him for looking for the venue. It's quite hard to look for a suitable venue as it needs a large table.



The game is a little bit like monopoly, where we buy property, earn rental and so on. But this one, is much greater one. It's more real. It gives us a chance to learn how to achieve financial freedom (passive income higher than our expenses). In the game, those whose make their passive income higher than expenses will get out from the stage one race and continue the stage two.

However, due to time constraint, we played only stage one. We took 3 hours in total to finish the game.

I successfully get out from the 'rat race' after approximately 2 and half hour. Yeah! I hope I could get out faster next time.



It's a nice game to play. I am looking for the next game!

Holidays!

It's holiday today! Woohoo! It's so great to have holiday.

I spent my time on investment as usual. I did analysis on investment this morning. Then I went for lunch with my friend. Time's fast. It's going to be evening soon. So, holiday for today is going to end soon.

I guess most people who are working love to have holidays, am I right?

Some of people want more holidays. And yea, I am one of them. Hehe.

2 weeks ago, there is a nice article written by The Busy Weekly. It shows data on the number of holidays. Here is it.

Countries	Public Holiday	Paid Leave	Total
Austria	13	25	38
Malta	14	24	38
Poland	11	26	37
Bolivia	12	25	37
Greece	12	25	37
England	11	25	36
France	8	28	36
Spain	14	22	36
Japan	15	20	35
Russia	12	20	32
Italy	11	20	31
Belgium	10	20	30
Germany	9	20	29
Switzerland	9	20	29
Malaysia	15	13	28
USA	10	15	25
Indonesia	13	12	25
Hong Kong	17	7	24
China	11	10	21
Singapore	11	10	21
Thailand	13	7	20
Canada	9	10	19

We don't have too much holiday, but also not too little, in the range of average. But of course, if I could have more holidays, I will be more happy. Hehe.

Affin Investment Bank's Market Chat 2012 At Gurney Hotel, Penang

Affin Investment Bank held a market chat yesterday at Gurney Hotel, Penang.

I attended it with my best friend, Henry.

The market was held from 8.30am to 1.30pm. I got quite a numbers of information from the event. Beside presentation from Affin's people, they invited Bursa Malaysia, i-VCAP, Nexnation, MBSB and Tambun Indah to have their presentation as well.

I like to attend these kind of events. I wish there will be more such events coming up. It gives the retail investor opportunities to know further about the companies.

Yea. I know more information yesterday, and it does help me a little bit in my investment decision.

There are two sentences said by the speakers which I like it very much:

1. 'Who buys Maybank at RM3? Who buys at RM13? Now it's RM8. One winner, one loser, this is stock market.' - quoted from Nextnation's representative

2. 'What's the difference between trader and gambler? Trader is professional gambler,with 80% of confidence level to earn.' - Dr. Nazri.

Besides that there were quite a numbers of goodies given to us as well. Here are them.

















Quite a nice event right? Full with information and goodies.

Next event for me to attend should be OSK ones, on 19 April 2012.

The First Day of April

I was actually thinking of posting about the Earth Hour 2012 today. I have taken some photo at First Avenue, Gama and Time Square last night, which I planned to post up today. But ended up, I was defeated by the Blue Monday affect. I am used to feeling down on Sunday as I need to go back to work on the second day. My motivation will drop by a lot. So I am so lazy to prepare the post for Earth Hour as well.

I failed to motivate myself, I fail to. I am running out of idea what should I do. It was already second quarter of 2012. I am already aged 24. I am getting closer and closer to the end of my life. I shouldn't waste my time already. But, I really couldn't motivate myself.

Just like I said before, there is one person I wish to talk to. But I don't think I have the chance.

Can someone teach me what should I do?

About 2 weeks to go, I decided to force myself. I actually wish to stay awake the whole night to do my investment things. End up, I failed to, and I am almost falling sick, and I almost couldn't go for work that day.

I am so glad that I know what I want to be and to do in my life. I know what I want. But sadly, because I know, it makes me feeling so suffering now as I am not doing things that I really want.

What should I do now?

I took the wrong bus 5 years ago. Last year, I took another wrong bus. Should I get down the bus? If yes, when should I?

I feel so scare to take another wrong bus. I am scare. I am really very scare.....
