Now it's approaching 3000 due to the HK-China direct link thingy. If that's not market boosting measure, what is?<br /><br /><br />Well, if you look at the Japanese example of last year, there's still room to play the buy high sell higher fast money game ;)<br /><br />I'll pass. I prefer to play this game through currencies <br /><br />Shorting commodities currencies to play the China slow down story ;)<br /><br />Interesting contradiction no? Real economy slow down; stock market zoom up!?<br /><br />LOL! <br /><br />Hmm...Maybe I should take a vacation to Myanmar next year to kick the tyres a bit?

And Israeli commanders!<br /><br />Of course I now "envy" the new thinner camouflage uniforms and "sports shoes" boots of the current generation. LOL!<br /><br />NS is never about the "money allowance". I roll eyes when I read the young complaining about NS allowances... It's not a salary for goodness sake!<br /><br />It's more about the rite of passage for men. <br /><br />It's a journey of self-discovery. <br /><br />Whether you have leadership quality (a shepherd) or just sheep?<br /><br />Whether you can function in a group environment?.<br /><br />Can you be adaptive in an environment different from your upbringing?<br /><br />Can you relate to people outside your own race, social standing, etc...<br /><br /><br />I've seen some "struggle" a lot in NS as there are just "psychologically" not suited in a group environment - these people are more suited for creative or one man show kind of vocations. Like home-based trading?<br />(You reading coconut?)<br /><br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-283665194665059162014-12-04T08:46:37.621+08:002014-12-04T08:46:37.621+08:00WolfT,

We have something in common :)<br /><br />I enjoyed and learned a great deal from my NS experience too! <br /><br />I didn't knew it then, but it was my training school for applying and testing out my EQ (natural and learnt) techniques.<br /><br /><br />Hmm... I should share more about my NS experiences. It's definitely not a "waste of time" or negative to my future career development.<br /><br />Where I am today traces its roots during that 2 years of "doing nothing".<br /><br /> Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-20310719670305187282014-12-04T08:34:21.769+08:002014-12-04T08:34:21.769+08:00Small Time Investor,

Was it me talking? Or was it a generational speak of the ethos I've gone through?Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-7193516787782656432014-12-04T08:24:57.886+08:002014-12-04T08:24:57.886+08:00LP,

It's the most carefree moments of our lives!<br /><br /><br />It's fun to look back at the different phases of our lives.<br /><br />Some things or goals I thought were super important when younger do not appeal to me anymore.<br /><br />And some things I "hated" in the past I now pursue with lots of zeal.<br /><br />Talk about schizophrenia!<br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-39474140923346150502014-12-03T22:56:29.971+08:002014-12-03T22:56:29.971+08:001985-1987 I am 6yrs old then.

These days, the teens are so in tuned with adult world that they are sacrificing their teenage yrs to get more of the adult one, in order to have a headstart. I hope that's what they wanted in the first place. <br /><br />I never regretted spending my teenage yrs playing Sega and silly games on my apple iigs computer. It's not the best use of time, but I wouldn't know better. What I know for sure is that even if u give me a whole day to sit in front of a TV console, I'm probably not interested in it now. The time had passed for other stuff. <br /><br />Seasonal needs and seasonal wants ;) <br /><br />I have to think that if you're in today's society, it might have been a different outcome. Different generation have different difficulties. If the youngsters come over to the past, they might not survive so well since everything is so 'lag' and there's a lot of work just do do any work (no Google, no lyrics website, no you tube, no hp). Similarly, we might not survive well in their world. <br /><br />Different generation, different course of action ;) la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.com
