wow. beginner's luck

well i am about to think that it's beginner's luck that i won money in poker.. i never did make it to the finals of any other tournaments after that.. of course i've only been playing 1 week. T_T. anyways, some exciting news to day.. ( waku waku - (nihongo)) lol my ex boss offered me an interview as a manager back in penang. wow. i never thought of it that way. anyways, nothing set in stone.. just mailed him my CV that i took off jobstreet.com.my *shrug* who knows... i'm still weighing the possibilities.. like my friend said.. quality of life is zero ? come home la.. not like i'm making any new ties here and my old ties back in msia is getting further and further away. anyways, just an update. moving back is always an option. but i need to have enough money to pay off the legalised loan sharks(banks) lol then i'd be set. no need to be in a hurry. like in poker.. i always go all in without thinking.. this time i gotta think very carefully. what should i do.. i kn...

Indians and mobile phones and toilets

i was coughing up phlegm. well.. i rushed all the way to the toilet. and saw my indian colleague talking on the mobile in the toilet.. i made a 180 and went to the other toilet on the other side of the office. *i was thinking.. sorry dude,.. i just didn't wanna spit in front of u. Poor guy must be thinking i didn't wanna be in the same toilet as him. (actually that couldn't be further than the truth but this time it was i don't want him to see me spit) a few hours later.. i was in the other toilet. just finished washing my hands and pressed the button on the hand dryer. another indian colleague ( not the same one) comes in the toilet with a mobile while talking on it. and went straight out because the dryer was quite loud. now.. from these 2 encounters from the only 2 indians we have in the office. i can safely make the hypothesis that either it's a huge coincidence that the indians like talking in the toilet. maybe spanish too. i once found a mobile phone in the to...

PokerStars.com

first there financial spread betting. then came poker. man.. where am i going.. first things first. financial offices are REALLY cool. i went to 2 financial spread betting offices. well.. one was big and one was a little smaller. i learnt a little bit from the guys who were giving the seminar about support and resistance lines and then it seems to work. well not all the time la that is. and i'm booked to another full day seminar on how good their product is.. lol but i'm just eyeing the free lunch and the last session of the day where they teach technical analysis. and some works on technical indicators. (i'm not a man for news.. so .. i just follow indicators la) right okies. that one aside. next thing in my list was pokerstars.com i was talking to a friend of mine on friday then i don't know how we got into talking about poker.. then one thing led to another. we had friday pub with the company picking up the bill. :D i didn't know why i couldn't drink.. well.....

HSBC's grammatical error *chuckles*

oh well i was looking at the banks websites again. natwest was offering 5.5% for eISA. and i looked it say it was for Permanent resident. weird.. then i went over to HSBC's site, eISA for 5.84% . wow.. that's a little bit more than usual. anyways, my point not being that, i thought they had ppl with good english working in banks. i think the developer or the designer was in a rush when he/she typed out those words. what are you're options. unless i'm totally ignorant of the way english is used.. then i sincerely apologize. but hahahahha *cheap thrill* anyways, right now i found out what i can do with £1. play spread betting will join once i learn more.. difficult choice.. can lose money damn kao fast. but can get money damn kao fast also lol my kind of game. when i saw the (financial )spread betting thingy ..i told myself.. hmm this seems to be right for me. fingers crossed and lotsa learning about the graphs for short term gains. and also i got a scheduled kidney renal...

aberdeen spring 08

forgot what castle was it.. i think it was dunottar castle. first time i've seen snow beside the sea. also the first time i've experienced a small snow storm.. visibility was like 50 metres.. T_T. as usual.. i NEVER bring the right clothes for aberdeen. this time i brought my jacket thinking that it'll protect me.. mana la tau .. that weather seems to dislike me .. it snowed.. and snowed.. anyways. seeing the old castle just makes me wanna watch all those old knights and castles shows. this other one is a seaside fishing town where the name was stonehaven. been busy. been lazy. been reading. been just reading a lot about investment. and it's making me bonkers.. i find i rather use my time to do something useful.. rather than do nothing.. heh. that's about it.. i tihnk this blog is gonna be updated on a monthly basis from now on.. i can't find the drive to just write anymore.
