so now both e budget & Toto winning numbers are out..
for e budget, all i can say is its e usual style of e govt..
e giveout is pretty much e same as the 06 pre-election budget so no element of surprise..
e abolishment of e RTV license which i will say is long overdue
am thinking e govt shd giv out more in view of e inflationary pressures.. jus on fri, e headlines is inflation forecast of e yr is going up to 4%.. perhaps its too fast for e gahmen to react??
& for Toto, din win e smallest prize but luckily i din gamble big..
on e other hand, e 4D still features my numbers on e top 3 prizes..
but if i 'invest' in all my numbers, 'heavy capital' leh..
can someone gives me some inspiration?? haha
TV wise, i think either channel 8 has either no money to produce good shows or taking e easy way out by going to broadcast yet another long TW melodrama. zzz...
now with e abolishment of e RTV license, do i foresee more 2nd rated productions/shows in future??
i want my korean/jap dramas!!!
think next time can dun need to buy TV liao.. =P
news wise,
now catching up on e MENA situation..
e plot is getting more and more interesting..
where it used to be jus one country on riot at one time, now e fire has spread to several countries at once..
Bahrain, Libya, Yemen
wow.. spurred on by prev successes?
& i guess e US gahmen shd hav a big headache now..
how to control extremist from raring its ugly head & how to position itself in this region...
wonders what's on e mind of e chinese leaders as well..
cos they block out searches on Egypt during its period of unrest..
afraid of a resurgence of 1989 Tiananmen Sq?
one thing i giv credit to CCP is their auto renewal of e leaders at least every decade..
but i feel e request of democracy will come sooner rather than later..
反正遲早都要面對， 還不如早點做準備， 至少也能避免大規模的示威活動， 面子也會比較好看。。。
up next will be e Borders bankruptcy..
i rem newspaper is saying tt it wont affect sg operations as it is managed by an aussie co & e next day this aussie firm also fail! how coincidental..
i do hope Borders dun close down tho..
although im not a book fanatic, i feel that sg will become even more of a culture desert if Borders is to vacate which din bodes well....
& finally i surprises me how harsh e chinese cities are when it comes to property right now.. it effectively blocks out foreigners from buying, esp in Beijing. even e beijing citizens are barred from buying if they now own 2 properties!
if e naysayers are complaining e sg policies announced last mth is harsh, they definitely din see this one coming..
i do understand where e chinese gahmen are coming from tho..
we chinese, for some unknown reasons, hav strong attachment to e land & will want sth to call our own & more is always better than less..
tts why e chinese are snapping up e properties like nobody's biz even if e prices are skyrocketing & it means wiping out decades worth of savings..
hence this becomes a scenario when one needs extreme measures to prevent e market from collapsing even worse than e US mkt cos since 08/09, academics are alr waiting for e last straw tt will burst e property bubble..
will sg requires such measures? i certainly hope not..
if so, it implies tt e prob will be damn serious
