I Don't Have Enough Time To.....

Those who are following my Facebook status for the past few months probably know what's the thing I post the most in Facebook right?

TIME'S FAST!

I post it so frequently! It's almost, once for every two days.

Perhaps, some of my friends may start saying, "Not again?! Doesn't this fellow feel tired of posting the same thing again and again?"

Haha, I guess I will continue posting it until the day I stop working.

Don't you think time's fast?

After I started my working life, I am insufficient of time. We have 24 hours a day. 7 hours will be used for sleep. Then 9 hours will be used for working. So, how much time remaining? It's just 8 hours.

8 hours per day isn't really little. But, if you have a lot of things you wish to do, it's completely insufficient for you!

After I start working....

I don't have enough time to read books.
I don't have enough time to do my investment research.
I don't have enough time to on phone with my girl friend.
I don't have enough time to have meals with my friends.
I don't have enough time to try something new.
I don't have enough time to read news.
I don't have enough time to play badminton.
I don't have enough time to online.
I don't have enough time to watch movies.
I don't have enough time to discuss things with others in forum.

And.....

I don't have enough time to blog and to read people's blog.

Time's insufficient and TIME'S FAST!

Anyway, Happy Weekend to all!

Birthday Gifts From Jusco

Few weeks ago, around my birthday, I received an SMS from Jusco. It was a message wishing me Happy Birthday and informing me to redeem a birthday card and some gift coupons from J-card counter.

Yesterday, I went Queensbay Mall, and I redeemed the birthday card and coupons. There are 16 coupons in total.







Among all the coupons, the TGV buy 1 free 1 coupon attracts me the most! Haha. Going to watch movie with Henry tomorrow.

Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Declares 6% Dividend For Year 2011

This is going to be something that a lot of workers want to listen too.

E.P.F. declares dividend today. The dividend is going to be 6%. It's a good news I guess. It's the highest dividend since year 2001. So, it can be say as quite a nice one.

Here is the dividends declared for the past 40 years.

Year	Dividend (%)		Year	Dividend (%)
1971	5.8		1991	8.00
1972	5.85		1992	8.00
1973	5.85		1993	8.00
1974	6.60		1994	8.00
1975	6.60		1995	7.50
1976	7.00		1996	7.70
1977	7.00		1997	6.70
1978	7.00		1998	6.70
1979	7.25		1999	6.84
1980	8.00		2000	6.00
1981	8.00		2001	5.00
1982	8.00		2002	4.25
1983	8.50		2003	4.50
1984	8.50		2004	4.75
1985	8.50		2005	5.00
1986	8.50		2006	5.15
1987	8.00		2007	5.80
1988	8.00		2008	4.50
1989	8.00		2009	5.65
1990	8.00		2010	5.80

We could see that the dividends for 1980s until the beginning of 1990s is 8% to 8.50%. I wonder will I have the chance to get such a high dividend again in future. I hope so.

Cheers!

Applause has to be given to Yang Li Lian. After lost the first set with 11-21, she managed to fight back at the second set. In the third set, she was once losing with 2-11. I thought the chance to win the game is very tiny. But, she created the wonderful story! She defeated the opponent at the end with 22-20!

After getting this win, Malaysia has obtain the 'half ticket' to Uber Cup next stage. Unless India defeat China tomorrow, or else, Malaysia will be stepping into the Uber Cup for next round.

All the best to Malaysia Thomas and Uber Cup in the final round!

Midnight Duck Rice At Ayer Itam

It have been a long time.....

A very long time......

I have been saying for a long time that I want to eat the famous duck rice in Ayer Itam! I did actually go there for few times. Unfortunately, it was closed every time I went.

On Chap Goh Meh, I went Strait Quay with Henry, Applefish and her boy friend to see the ceremony of 'throwing orange'. After dismiss, Henry and I went there to have a try on the duck rice.



Yeah! Finally I made it!

Finally I had the chance to try the famous duck rice!



Besides duck meat, it also consists of pork, intestines, egg and 'Tau Gua'. It cost us RM4 for the small ones and RM5 for the big ones.

It satisfied me. I like the taste. But sadly, I couldn't have chance to eat it always.

You know why? Because it will be sold only at midnight! I rarely go out at night, so I don't really have chance to eat it always. The stall opens at 11pm if I am not wrong. So, if you want to try it, you have to go out at night.

Opps, I forgot to mention the venue.

Well, its location is very easy to be recognized. It locates opposite the Ayer Itam's Laksa and Ayer Itam market.

Does the duck rice makes your saliva to flow out? Want to try it now?

Thanks to Henry too, for taking the photos. I not managed to take the photo that day as my batteries were exhausted after taking photo at Strait Quay.

Western Food At Mr. Pot Cafe, Gurney Drive

I bought Mr. Pot's coupons from Living Social (formerly known as Everyday) about 2 months ago. I bought 5 coupons. It cost me RM14.60 for one coupon. Each coupon will be served with two sets of western food (without drinks). The normal price is at around RM13.50 to RM13.90. So, buying from Living Social (formerly known as Everyday) saved me around 50%.

Today, I went there with my friends. So I used up 2 coupons for that.


Mr. Pot Chicken Chop


English Fish & Chips


Cheesy Chicken Cutlet

As the coupons didn't come with drinks. We have to order drinks. I have forgotten the price of the drinks (so forgetful ya). But the drink we ordered, I think is around RM3 to RM5 (but I am not too sure).



It has been long time I didn't eat western food. So, I also don't know whether it's delicious or not. But for me, it's not bad. Among the three types of western food, the Cheesy Chicken Cutlet looks like more delicious.

Daily Planet: The Listed Brothel In Stock Exchange

There is something surprised me in newspaper while I was reading it. The news was talking about an interesting company, the Daily Planet. Daily Planet is operating brothel business or some say hotel for prostitution.


photo's source: wikipedia

What it surprised me is, it's actually a listed company in Australia's Stock Exchange. It was listed in year 2003. It then won Australian Adult Industry Award for "Best Brothel Overall" in the years 2004-2008.

A company who is running prostitution business can even become a listed company! I am a little bit couldn't believe on it. But, it's a fact.

Well, as it's a listed company, it gets my attention to look for its annual report.

After searching, yeah, I got it. But I am not sure whether I get the right company or not. The company listed is Planet Platinum Limited. (click here for its annual report for financial year 2010)

The company's reported $5.4 millions revenue with $1.6 millions profit in financial year 2010. The company's net assets stood at $11.5 million with $18.7 millions assets and $7.2 millions liabilities.

This company is really surprised me a lot! I really extremely hardly believe of it when I first read the news.

Chap Goh Meh At Strait Quay

Chinese New Year celebration has officially over. How's your celebration? Do you get enough ang pow? Haha.

Chinese New Year celebration ends with Chap Goh Meh, or Chinese Valentine's Day.

Chap Goh Meh is a day where the females will be throwing oranges into the river while the males collecting it.

Well, although I have been living in this world for 24 years, it's my first time to see the ceremony of throwing oranges.

I went Strait Quay with Henry and Applefish to see the ceremony.







Well, it's quite crowded and hot!! No much photos I managed to take on that night as my camera isn't good. Anyway, you may go My Blog, My Way to see some photos.

And the good thing is....



I managed to take a photo with Chai Shen Ye! Thanks to Henry on helping me to take the photo!

Wohoo! Hope I can get more money this year. Hope I can generate a good return from my investment.
