If I have only afew days to live...
I will accept the threat of death but I will fight until my last breath
I can overcome fear as I have always accepted that the only certainty in life is Death
I will continue to live happily, eat normally and prepare those who are unprepared and/or, may be, unwilling to see me pass on
Of course, its not that they can refuse to allow me to pass on but after getting used to, and enjoyed, my presence, my absence will be felt
But, time is the best friend; soon they will accept my passing
I want to ring-fence myself and will not allow any of my family members and dear friends to worry about me
If I fight and win against illness, my extended living is a bonus
It is my own battle and I will carry my own cross with a smile
I am selfish and I choose to fight alone and stare Death in the eye
If I wins, I live to tell my story
If I losses, I want to be an inspiration to a well-fought battle
No one should surrender to Death as Death is a certainty
I enjoys every seconds of my life and living and when I take my last breathe
I enters the new 'gate of life'... the afterlife
I don't die nor disappear; I merely fade away
I will always be with you - here or away
Live within my broad smiles, my determination and my encouragements
And you will be cheered up by me - now and forever

I; The Lighthouse
Happiness Starts With Me
There will never be free lunches; agree or disagree? When an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is
It is best to pay, however small, for goods or services; the value of peace you enjoy is immeasurable
Money can buy most things but not all things
Money can make you happy but can't buy happiness
Alas! But be real; Money is a means to an end
Time is a good, old friend and 'he' passes slowly but surely
Time and tides wait for no man
My life is empty but not void
I longed to fill the emptiness with usefulness, faith & rewarding challenges
For an empty mind is a Devil's workshop
I want my space and time
And I want everything nice and beautiful in them
I want to be happy...
I enjoy the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers
The breeze and the waves remind me of life and the changes thats constantly 'haunting' me
The Sun gives me positive power and I shall remain fully charged
I am part of the Universe; the light of Happiness lives in me
It may dim occassionally but the Light lives within me
I am my own Lighthouse
And I Shall be!

Stockmarket 2010
The Guarded 2010
Singapore's 2010 GDP growth is expected to be 3–5% with IMF placing it at >4%; a turnaround that hopefully can restore jobs, confidence and filter through all sectors of the economy.According to Asian Development Bank, Asia's powerhouse, China's 2010 economic growth forecast is 8.9 per cent, while the International Monetary Fund predicts 9 per cent.
Baltic Dry Index (BDI)
The BDI peaked above 11,600 and bottomed under 1,000 points within months in 2008. In 2009, it traded near 4,600 and tanked to under 2,300 before recovering to above 4,600. Today, its hovering around 3,100 points (http://investmenttools.com/
Liquidity
With less reliable investible instruments around, there is a tendency to look for good-old-faithful avenues to place funds; stockmarkets seem to be the right avenue! Its just where and which one?
Momentum Trading (MT)
With massive liquidity around, amidst uncertainty (watch Yen carry trade & US$ carry trade), Momentum Trading will lead markets either way. Trade with care and do your own homework.
Qualitative Approach
It is imperative that a complete comprehension of a/the chosen market, with "helicopter view" of country, industry, management and markets is necessary to 'win' in an uncertain environment. A clear lesson was those who were ready and bought, or did not panic, around Mar/Apr 2009. Everyone wants to make money but few want to do homework.
Silver and gold may be better alternatives when faith in paper money is challenged.
Stimulus Packages
The recovery is sustained by stimulus packages and plentiful of (paper) money. Any premature withdrawal will decimate recovery and reboot system to early 2008!
Others
Jul - Oct - fresh and additional injection of stimulus packages and concerted political co-operation globally will restore confidence in markets (observe - 2010 Jul 11 : Total Solar Eclipse)
Oct - Jan - reality checks (observe - 2010 Dec 21 : Total Lunar Eclipse)
2010 is as cloudy as 2009. Sooner or later, Governments have to find alternative sources of income/taxes to fund stimulus packages and jobs creation. 2010 should be a growth year for 'protected' industries as well as necessities.
Good luck.

How will the numbers be reflected in the stockmarket or has the market factored in the numbers? Will commodities prices continue to rise and hamper growth with increased costs? What's the winning X-factor?
Crystall-balling the future is as tough as predicting the weather! But, the following factors will lend weight to the possible direction the markets take:

Others
The loss of confidence in papermoney, namely US$, the widening of rich/poor gap, natural calamities and diseases will lead to social unrest. A rise in interest rate will also dent recovery
My guess (of stockmarket 2010) is :
Jan - Apr - market continues to ride the momentum flow with topping-up possibility (observe -
2010 Jan 15 : Annular Solar Eclipse)
Apr - Jul - as market players expect better corporate performances, anything less 'than a good' coupled with talk of withdrawal of stimulus packages will be taken negatively resulting in corrective phase (observe - 2010 Jun 26 : Partial Lunar Eclipse)Jan - Apr - market continues to ride the momentum flow with topping-up possibility (observe -

When The Heart Rules...
When The Brain Is Not Thinking
A year has passed and a new year is here; For most of us, its nothing new
But, many of us are still stuck in our old habits, orientation, beliefs and perceived solutions
No solutions can come out of old methodology and approaches;
If it does, you would have solved it (and win) the first time
- use your head, not heart
You have been left in the cold and felt unwanted by your friends, don't freak
You could have been too submissive, immature, selfish or a plain pawn
Stand tall and be counted and show who is the boss or simply make yourself useful
No one can make you a slave nor feels unwanted
- leaders lead with their heads and manage others' hearts
A new academic term begins and you fear you can't meet the demands of schoolwork
You are worried you can't cope and there are too much to learn and exam is near
Fear not! Start early, read well and practice hard. Be prepared
There is no excuse for laziness; work hard & work smart
- passing is incidental and scoring is accidental; use your brain
New year, new demands. No jobs, no money.
Fearful of the future? Its the heart that fears but the brain must seek
Put on the thinking cap and develop an avenue to generate income
No one can help you but yourself; you have slaved for so many years yet you are looking for jobs
- the slave who lease, trade and sell other slaves is the boss
The con artist can succeed because he uses his brain to tweak your heart (emotions); the smart can too
Use your Brain and manage your Heart and tomorrow will be better

A Good Start
The Perfect 20Ten
Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well - Angelique Arnauld
- do your best but knows your limit, not for fear of failure but for certainty of success - pk
Dare to be yourself - Andre Gide
- if only you will give yourself a chance as nobody will - pk
The man of wisdom is never of two minds; the man of benevolence never worries; the man of courage is never afraid - Confucius
- the only two things you can't decide in life is being born and the time of death; fate is but within you - pk
The crisis of 2009 is halted by 'money printing'; Governments print money to fill the gaps left by the financial holocausts. What we are looking at is either Deflation or Inflation!
- to survive Deflation or Inflation, we need financial intelligence; the ability to substitute paper money for something substantial but relevant like gold. silver or hard assets with cash flows - pk
Jesse James robbed the banks but subprime, minibonds, CDOs, derivatives and the likes broke the banks
- as in American banknotes "In God We Trust"
Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy - Cynthia Nelms
- the mind is your engine and you are the driver. Either you drive yourself happy or crazy and sad; the choice is obvious - pk
31,536,000 seconds = 525,600 minutes = 8,760 hours = 365 days
If you live til 70 years old, you only have 25,550 days = 613,200 hours
Just spend 200,000 hours on happiness and you will be happy forever

Hopes Turn Reality 2009/10
2009 started with shadows of the Great Depression but offers lessons of optimism, hopes & successes
We have come a long way since the Bunonic Plague (Black Death) of 1348, the Wall Street crash of 1929, the World Wars, the S&L crisis of 1980s, Singapore's recession 1985/86, the Asian Financial crisis of 1997/8, 9/11 @2001, SARS 2002/3... we survive and thrive because of HOPEs and perseverance
Hopes, encouragements and commitments go a long way to heal and rehabilitate
If AIG and Citigroup had been allowed to fail - (that they were saved from 'drowning' were, but, Sophie's choice) - we will be walking in the dark tunnels of financial age; blown back into pre-currency period. It may look foolhardy for the global Governments to act in unison with rescue and stimulus packages; its a choice between depression and warmongering or hopes with recovery.
The Tamil Tigers have demobilized and peace prevails & may Tiger Woods also find peace. There were hits and misses but eventually good sense and truths prevail.
Life is tough and may sometimes seems hopeless but with more selfless fellow beings, the tinge of hope will manifest into positive outcome. A little care goes a long way. Just to cite a few;
When I walked out of my clinic after attending to all my patients, I felt psychologically like a 44year old, 10 years younger than my actual age. Which medicine can make you feel 60years younger? Most importantly, I felt I had contributed, in a small way, to human welfare - Prof Lee Wei Ling
While it may not be possible to cure patients of all their ailments, we must offer them hope that tomorrow may be a better day. Life does not end when our heart stops beating or when we hit the ground after jumping off a building. It ends when hope begins to die - Dr Ang Peng Tiam
I try to help the less fortunate whenever possible; not that I am working to secure a place in Heaven nor to seek publicity but I want to make living more comfortable and light. And when everybody's life is lighter, the road forward will hopefully be smoother.
I live my life fullest today and anyday; being able to help is my fortune.

We Thought We Learnt Our Lessons...
The only lesson we learnt is to make the next year's problems bigger and more nerve wrecking...
2000 - Nasdaq peaks at 5049 & supersonic Concorde crash ... never to be seen again
2001 - US in recession, Enron files for Chapter 11 & US WorldTradeCentre crashed
2002 - WorldCom & Global Crossing Inc slip under
2003 - Madcow disease & SARS spread & "The number of bankruptcy petitions in Singapore hit a 55-month high in July 2003 to 568, a 52 percent surge from the same period a year ago"
2004 - Tsunami strikes & kills more than 230,000 people
2005 - Hurricane Katrina strikes New Orleans
2006 - Case-Shiller Home Price Index peaks; the harbinger of financial disaster
2007 - Stockmarkets crash; near perfect timing as in 1987 & 1997
2008 - Lehman Bros, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, WaMu, Northern Rock, Iceland 'sang their swan song'
2009 - GM & Chrysler declare bankruptcy; Bernie Madoff 'ponzied' US$65bil
The Decade Post-2000s Is The Decade Of Superlatives - including budget deficits and stimulus packages.
i pray that the next BIGgest thing coming is not the use of the biggest, most destructive and maddest weapon - nuclear; otherwise, i don't get to write and you'd never get to read anymore as we all perish in the greatest
exit of Mankind.
What will we see in 2010?

Broke ... penniless
Penniless But Not Broken
I once had only S$2 a day to spend for fourteen days continuous but I took it in stride
I spent on transport and light meal; kept my smiles and remain sturdily positive
When I made my first million, I did not rejoice nor punch into the air in exhilaration
Instead I allow myself to spend as and when I wish to with little restraint but in silence
I learn to pamper myself alittle, allow some indulgences and return some to Society
I eased into charitable acts with minimum constraints
When misfortune strikes, I was hit like a pilot in a rudderless plane; trying to find land
Darkness surrounds, friends evaporated like condensation into thin air; whats left was Faith
I sold my house and cars; I cut all credit cards and de-geared speedily and I touched Earth
I stood tall with my smiles and with an unbending will
Nobody gonna pity me nor share my sorrows; I quietly accept without regrets
Like a wounded swallow without its bird's nest 有燕无窝; I rested, reflected and rebuilt from scratch
With Faith, a freshly-mint goal and a steely mind, I returned as pheonix from ashes
I learnt that whether you are rich or poor, nobody really cares
It is within you - to built, to grow and to stand tall
Jealously guard your health and be ready
Nobody is forever poor nor rich - the gateway is in your mind
I maybe as poor as a church mouse but my Faith and steely mind manifest my Aura and emits light & lightness that no money can buy
If there is one thing calls 'Fate', it is for you to determine; I write my own Providence

Be Inspired ...
Words slice through the mind where the sword fails
Ability is nothing without opportunity. If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. A leader is a dealer in hope. Napoleon Bonaparte
...nobody can rob you if you are intense and daring
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Barack Obama
...today is the day and the pound of flesh is yours to take
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
...happiness is the latent force within
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein

The Search...
Searching for your ideal ...
Life is filled with uncertainty and pygmalion effect; we search far and wide but it is the mind that wins the day
Frustration is when you can't get what you set out to achieve but having achieved it, a new bar is set
The battle to win is forever long drawn and the journey is fraught with perils beyond most
Only those with stamina, will and steely nerves will succeed; not forgetting the opportunists too
As long as you are happy with what you do, go ahead with whatever works
*Whatever Works - Written by Woody Allen
The ugly truth is always hurtful and denials are escapades for the lesser mortals
*The Ugly Truth - Starring Katherine Heigl & Gerard Butler
It is always good to remain silent, be prepared and be aware; pounce when opportunity presents
The World will never be equal, not even the Law of the lands; the only equaliser is Death
Death is the distance between birth and final achievement; "death" is not a scare word
Your shadow is longest at the setting sun and sunrise
Like opportunities; if you didn't spot one, you have to wait for the next
*Enjoy Whatever Works & The Ugly Truth

The World will never be equal, not even the Law of the lands; the only equaliser is Death
Death is the distance between birth and final achievement; "death" is not a scare word
Your shadow is longest at the setting sun and sunrise
Like opportunities; if you didn't spot one, you have to wait for the next
*Enjoy Whatever Works & The Ugly Truth
