Some Investment Blogs Which I Am Following

The OSKIC trial game has over and the real OSKIC 2011 competition is coming. It's going to start on 4th October and end on 28 October.

OSKIC sets an additional restriction for OSKIC. Now, the players cannot buy stock which its share price is below RM1. It makes the competition even tougher. Players have to do more homework already.

Reading investment blogs is one of my ways to get more information on investment. I follow quite a number of blogs.

Here are some of my favourite investment blogs:
- Malaysia-Finance Blogspot
- Where is Ze Moola
- Nexttrade
- 黑@證劵
- Malaysia REITS
- 回到原点
- 2nd brother
- Bonescythe Stock Watch
- Corporate Governance in Malaysia
- CWYeoh KLCI Stock Analysis

Robe For My Convocation Ceremony

Finally, I am going to be a UUM graduate officially!

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for LuPorTi! It's going to be my convocation ceremony. I guess I need to sleep early tonight, 9 o'clock perhaps. I hope to depart as early as possible to avoid late reaching.



My beloved Lipei helped me to take my robe for my convocation ceremony last Monday. I took it from her last Thursday.

See, here is my robe.



And this, the 'square hat' that a lot of people are waiting to wear.



Let's try it on. Seriously, it took me quite a period of time to learn how to wear it. Thanks to Jace 'jie' teaching me.



I took some photos with my mum and grandma as well.





Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow....

I am waiting tomorrow to graduate officially. I am going to capture a lot photos with my friends. And, I feel so happy when knowing that some of my juniors are going to see me and capture some photos as well. You all have made my university life a better ones.

To my friends who are graduating tomorrow, HAPPY CONVOCATION to you all!

Tropical Spice Garden, Penang.

It was quite a late post.

My friends and I went to Tropical Spice Garden beginning of this month. After such a long time, only I blog about it.

Tropical Spice Garden is located at Teluk Bahang, Penang. The place it situated was actually a place that it was once being abandoned. Thereafter, David and Rebecca Wilkinson together with a talented team transformed it into this garden with unique design and soul into a remarkable eco-tourism venture.

This garden was actually taking 1.5 years to complete. the work involved work of harmonising over 500 species of tropical flora. They preserve much of the original indigenous flora and fauna while maintaining the original topography of the site. A lot of trees were left undisturbed, which become good shelters for the visitors. The team has also re-routed the water from a waterfall nearby. We can hear a the voice water at many corners inside the garden.

Okay, let's see how Tropical Spice Garden looks like.





This is the counter where we make payment.


The prices as stated as their website are as follow:
- Family (2 adults and up to 3 children) : RM35 (self-guided), RM55 (guided tour)
- Adult : RM14 (self-guided), RM22 (guided tour)
- Child : RM8 (self-guided), RM8 (guided tour)

I actually not really sure with the price, as we actually went there with the vouchers I bought from group purchase, Everyday.













Besides visiting the garden, there is also a restaurant and a shop for you to buy the products.



We didn't take our lunch over there, so there is no photo for the restaurant.

It's quite a nice trip. However, it rained at the middle of our trip. Or else, I guess we will stay there for longer time.

Namewee At 1st Avenue

I believe a lot of Malaysians know about Namewee nowadays.
He is famous of putting facts and things happen in Malaysia into musics and songs.
He now put it into a movie, Nasi Lemak 2.0.

Have you watch it?
If you don't, and if you plan to watch, better watch it faster?
Rumours are saying that Nasi Lemak may be taken off from screen earlier than it planned.

Namewee came to 1st Avenue, Penang to promote Nasi Lemak 2.0 last Thursday.





Can you see the crowds?
It show how famous the movie is.
Some even say, it's a 'must watch' movie for Malaysian.

The event started at 8.30pm.
The MC showed out first.



Then, it's Namewee's turn.
The crowds are shouting 'WALAO EH' to call out Namewee onto the stage.



There are also some games played with the the audience.





See this.

What are they doing?



They are rushing to buy Namewee-related things in order to take it for Namewee to give his signature on the things.





Nasi Lemak 2.0 and Namawee are kinda popular now in Malaysia, aren't them?
