i can still smell wantan mee

The weekend break was more than what I could ask for. During the 2 days I forgot about work I left behind, the counters I was betting on.

Batu pahat has great food. I can almost still taste the nice wanton mee in my mouth. Even the simple looking zichar stall, just below where wendy stayed, had its own fare of good food to offer.

We caught the last airbender movie at an affordable rm10/person. The movie was really entertaining, though I won’t rate it brilliant. The animation was nice, the visuals kept us entertained to a large extent.

The morning run in the park was fun. Ran almost 5km with pa and we did another round of morning aerobics. People are friendly there, as we made conversation with several residents who came to have their morning exercise. It is uncommon in Singapore for people to talk and ask how we are getting on. What you will see in the usual weekend park connector scenario is people would just go about their run, oblivious to surroundings. People are not interested in other’s lives; perhaps to them they are merely strangers. We don’t greet those usual faces we see; maybe because we don’t even notice that we see them frequently. Somehow, while economy developed forward, human relationship took a back seat. We are less compassionate, less patient and care lesser for others. Or perhaps, we just don't have the time to bother?

We have a new Korean serial from wendy, that’s a better alternative to the usual local 9pm drama (which doesn’t have a lot of drama). i think korean serials have alot of droolworthy hunks and babes.

I woke up this morning almost forgetting I needed to work today.

Market looks turbulent this morning. While all our counters are officially down, but it would be great if we had more spare cash to share up some cheap counters washed out by the economic storm.

Equities remain an extremely volatile financial instrument to work with. I am still appalled how some counters move. Some perform exceedingly well, while others which are not fundamentally bad, can be so adversely affected. Market might simply be efficient for some and I do not have much information at hand to react as quickly as how many others can move.

I find my mind scattered over a number of things at work. There is a lot going on at work, with the sharp turn the company is negotiating. There seem to be a lot to find out. A lot to understand. Sometimes I find myself looking at all that blankly, wondering what next? Maybe I lack that business acumen to react swiftly to them.
