Yes today is my first day of leave for the year!
So what did I do today. Really nothing much, the only thing I did is to sleep. To catch up with all my lost sleep during CNY. Gosh how good it is just to rest and sleep the whole afternoon.
Over the past few days I by chance got to keep in touch with an old friend in my Pre-U days. She is doing well now and doing a post-grad which is wow. I always know that she has a talent in writing and now pursing it is a good thing. We used to go out with the whole gang back then. Quite a happening gang where we suan each other and poke fun of anything under the sun. Those were the days!
Just saw her pic recently, and gosh did she changed she don't look her age(that means she look younger). Guess a change in hair cut and good make up knowledge does indeed can turn back the clock. We had a good chit chat over msn and gosh how many things has changed since we keep in touched. Many have married and have children now. Kaoz age is really catching up now!

Extended CNY
Yes I will be on leave for another 3 days, while most will be working by tomorrow. Why did I took this leave? Firstly, I thought I will be going back to Malaysia for visiting and also I want to spend some time with someone.
So what happen now? We did not go to Malaysia for visiting and I'm lost with that someone at the moment. So for the next coming 3 days I'll just stay at home or maybe randomly ask my friend out for tea/lunch/dinner.
CNY has been fun for hanging out with old friends once again. One of my best Buddy is going to be a father soon and another going to have his wedding dinner at the end of the year. Therefore, I can offically said my status has risen to being an Uncle now(don't count within the family).

My score in Finding Ms Right
Mark, your dating personality is: Social Idealist
Mark, when it comes to dating, you are a Social Idealist. This means you feel in your heart that there is one special partner out there for you and chances are, you've spent plenty of time daydreaming about them. You've probably imagined all kinds of things about who they are, compiling a mental checklist down to the smallest details. After all, knowing what you want is a good thing. You're pretty sure you'll know love when you see it and you're more than willing to go out and find your ideal mate. Being naturally social, meeting people may feel almost like a hobby of yours. You enjoy chatting up friends of friends, or even total strangers, more than most people do. But this outgoing nature doesn't mean you take whatever comes your way. When it comes to finding a love interest, you're not interested in just anyone. You want "the one." This romantic quest likely has you sizing up new people's potential as soon as you meet them. In the first five minutes of talking to someone at a party, you've probably determined whether you find them attractive, critiqued their personality, and decided whether or not they're a long-term prospect. You may have even named the offspring you would have with them. Your checklist-style quick judgment can work both for and against you. Many people don't measure up to your ideals. Be careful of any tendency to throw a potential date away too quickly. You just may overlook a fantastic mate because they have a funny laugh or the wrong colored hair, and ultimately, is it worth it to do that? You never know where love will blossom, and with so many different prospects to choose from, even the process of looking can be fun. Based on your answers to the test, we can also tell that you've often relied on destiny to guide your romantic life. Tending to sit back and let the universe do its work, you may expect that one day you'll simply bump into your ideal mate like lovers do in the movies. Perhaps you've even found yourself saying, "When the time is right, love will find me." Because of this approach, meeting new people can feel like a random event. So far your search for love has demanded that you be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes fate works like a charm. After all, your past relationships have probably come from places you'd never expect. Still, if you've failed to make a proactive plan to meet people up until now, you may have found that you've gone for long stretches without dating anyone at all. If you take just a little time and make just a little effort to direct your search a bit, you could increase your chances of meeting someone right for you.

All eyes on Fed this week
Last friday Dow suffer with a -177 freefall causing Monday bloodshed in Asia countries. This is to be expected. Last night Dow recover 170++ points which puts it back to last thurday's closing. By simple logic, today's market should be like last friday's. But no it did not even recover 20% at all. Why?
People are profit taking now or are markets all over the world trying to depress itself so that Fed will cut rate once again. Based on most readings, most expect another 50bps. So if tomorrow Fed don't give what the world wants, will the world turn South big time? I think it might be. It might be the big one for the month of Feb. Even if the Fed cut 50bps will the market rally. Mini rally yes big one no as the market has now expect and demand that rate cut. Will the Fed cut more than 50bps? Hardly if they cut anymore that means a total of >125bps within less than 2 weeks! Gosh wonder what will that do to the dollar.
So what is my take on all this. Stay clear of the market wait for clearer signal before entering. If you really want to enter, enter with deep pocket, enter the market with spare cash and not your daily makan money!

U-Turn!
well it just came too fast I was expecting the U-turn from US market to come after next week. But it seem to have arrived last nite with a free fall of 170+ points. So will Asia market follow suite and begin another fire sales? HK most likely will as it has rally for the past few days with over 1000 points each day. Any reasonable man with his head still on the shoulder will take profit first and wait it out. I foresee a drop of maybe 30-40++ points in local market on monday.

Strong rebound
I must admit I'm so wrong about the reduction in Fed rate. A 75bp is making a big impact at this for this week. HSI has peak fast and our STI has finally awake and started to climb. Now will this sustain is the question. For those with spare cash I hope you all have bottom fish early this week. By next week you should see big profit and you will be enjoying a good CNY!
