2010

2010 so far has been pretty eventful I must say..

Early on in the year, bought my first shares in the stock market..
Up and down so far..
But suddenly I become so informed of whatever is happening in the business world..
The coming bankruptcy of Japan Airlines, bank fees to recover taxpayer bailouts to be inroduced by Obama, lawsuits against Bank of America, profits of Alcoa not meeting expectations, and then there is Kraft's bid for Cadbury, with Ferrero involved.
But it's quite interesting I must say..something else to read up other than soccer news..

And then there is some unexpected news..
Which has been bothering me quite abit..
But at least it didnt turn out very bad..
And I hope and pray everything will be fine soon..

Then there are news of KPMG increasing pay, to even higher than the original pay scale..as usual they are the market leader for new policies..
PWC followed suit, with news of reinstatement (although I heard they called it increment)..
Just when everybody is demotivated, and I have a very good reason to say I am not motivated to work (not like I always have)..
EY comes out with news that we are reverting to the original pay scale..
No more excuses, but more money for beer!!
And isn't the big 4 something like a cartel as well, something like what the petrol stations are doing..raising prices together, decreasing prices together..
But who cares, at least the imbalance in pay is no longer so big..

And lastly, even mahjong has been topsy turvy..
WIn quite big, lose quite big.
Hope will always be huat huat and then CNY can huat somemore..haha

Anyway this may be quite outdated, but I still think he is quite amazing to play it this well
