These is a question asked by the book "Rich dad's guide to investing"
which of these core values are the most important to you? rate them accordin to their importance in earning money.
1) To be rich
2) To be secure
3) To be comfortable
Most ppl i ask do not agree with me. most rate to be secure as highest piority, with being rich mostly last on the piority list. It is as the book has said, that being rich would be the lowest piority for many ppl. there is nothing wrong in which ever order one rates these values, as each piority requires different plans and can allow one to live life happily.
In my case, i would believe that being rich would be at my highest piority now. However being secure comes in at a close second place followed by comfortable, which is last. Since young i have always dreamed of being rich. the feeling of having money in my hands raises my spirit and mood. Everytime i look into my bank account i feel a sense of achievement for saving that amount of money. however it is also the need to feel secure that my money wun fly away that i try my best to scrimp and save,thus sacrificing comfort whenevr possible. However, it has only been recently that i realised that the money in my bank is just sitting there doing nothing. this came about as my NS friends were discussing about bank benefits, which then lead to investments and inflation. It also made me think about my future. thus leading me to this book on investing.
Ive read about 1/4 of the book already. As the title suggests, it is a GUIDE, not some secret formula to success. The book is kind of good, however it has made many recommendations that i hve either yet to fufill or have doubts of fufilling. These are:
1) getting a fixed income
2) speak to at least 1 financial advisor to create a financial plan
3) create more then 1 financial plan
3) start to speak in finance terms
4) learn to read financial statements
WOW, alot of things sia...how to accomplish? It may be alot of trouble, however i will persevere and get my basics right. im prepared to learn as much as i can about the finance world. i hope this is not another 1 of those short term interest that my short attention span is always aquiring. may i be motivated at least till i read finish the book..

Tired. failed the driving test today. Feel dam pissed for some reason. its like i know i can pass but somehow i screwed the test up. it didn't help that the tester had a chi bai face and attitude. he think he some gangster sit and tok like a ah beng. haizzzz k la dun comment so much about it. maybe my driving is really that bad. which the thought of it irritates me for some reason. maybe im just moody bout something.
Anyway been reading this book titled guide to investing by the author of rich dad, poor dad. Got the book at the spur of the moment now im wooried that i might regret getting it. however im still reading it and it hasn't started to bore me yet. it did ask a question though. i guess i will cover that in the next post. not really in the mood to comment bout it.
To arisa if u ever get to see this...
i really hope that u would consider staying in singapore. i know it is selfish of me to say this. i respect that u want to further ur studies. But is it really neccesary to go overseas? however dun let me stop u from working towards your dreams. please dun regard me as an obstacle. go for wad you wan. i just wan to say that i will miss a terribly lot if you ever make the decision to go overseas. love you and sweet dreams.

oh well, seems like its become a habit NOT to blog. anyway many things have happen since the last blog. well DUH, i mean it has been more then a month (i think).
long story cut short. POP from course, still same old routine, bleddy mas selamat not caught so still have to do guard duties, got silver for ippt, got marksmen but still haven't gotten my $$$, AAAAANNNNNDDDDD i was chosen for driver course WHICH i am currently undergoing.
quite tired now but i write a bit more. so far passed all the test in driving such as highway code, highway situation test *oh man headache* as well as my parking *easy cheesy*. the next will be the most impt test of all, the DRIVING TEST. which is on wed, 1 day from now. not really stress but quite tired when reach home everyday. compared to camp, i believe that 39 SCE is not as tiring for some reason....maybe its psychological? oh well...
ok gonna logg off. will try my best to blog. many things on my mind recently. perhaps blogging will help sort out my thoughts. this is zqq over and out.

WOW so long since i last blog. reading the last post made me emo enuf to start bloging again despite my laziness. i wonder if any1 will come and see my blog again? oh well..
lets see... how to start?
i am currently in ns now under 39 SCE. enlisted in jan at kestral coy as enhanced, leadership batch but didnt make it to command school. abit dissapointed but kind of expected it cos of all the wayang+sabo+chaokeng+bullies in my company. life sucked with ppl taunting me left right center just becos i stood up for ppl who thos bastards were picking on. it didnt help that our sgts (well not all but most) were also pushovers who were bias to the point of extreme where they join in the bullying. whatever. i have left that temporory hell and at now in my new unit.
39 SCE refers to the chemical biological radiological defence of singapore. i wun and can't disclose too much on my unit. if u wan to know more go and wiki it. Anyway, lifes good at the moment compared to my bmt days and i have alot of friends. Actually i kind of like the life here. although it is tough and all that, it beats the jc days of stressing urself up to the point of insanity. Call me crazy if u wish, i know many disagree with me but im really serious. Sometimes when it gets too tiring, i think about the hell in jc and i get the energy to push onwards. i spend my weekends mostly going out with arisa or playing AGE OF EMPIRE 3: ASIAN DYNASTIES. for some reason i liketo use japan =)
POPing from my course on thursday!!! WOOOOOT!!!!! dam happy cos it means that we will get a block leave period! i miss my freedom sooooo much!!! SO many games to play and so little time!!! of course, not to mention that i have to catch up withh all my friends inclusive of jc and sec as well as arisa.
hmmm i guess that shld sum up my life at the moment. anything i missed i will include in my next post. That is, IF i am not too lazy to blog.

just when u tot u had time for a breather, its on u again. Never tiring nor needing rest, it will hound u day and night until u finally break. Even then, it will not stop in its sadistic pursuit. spawn of darkness, vile creature of the night, to hel with thee.
guess im in the mythology mood. its now just 1 day aft the prelims, and immediately we have to start chionging again. forever studying, rushing, running. its lik the saying goes, u can run but ya can't hide. Ive been hiding for so long and now the beast is upon me. my weak attacks are no used on its hardened scales. The results are lousy, and it only seems to enrage it. What is a feeble mortal like me to do? haizzz....
i want to rest and relax but time is not on my side. neither are my results too. hate school. the sch completely drain all the enthusiasium and happiness out of me. sure ther are friends tohelp but i still hate YJC. i hate the way it forces us to do things and then scold us for not doing something else. i hate the way it changes ppl to become more selfish.
Dam YJC!!!! i hate it!!!!!

I am so screwed. misanswered a lot of questions in bio. i had gone tru all the chaptors but i dun think i will do well. i guess this there is no escaping from it. i am not smart. i always used to think that if i study i can do very well but apparently this is not the case. just look at my chem and maths. maths ive been staying back in sch to practise but yet i still screw up the paper. same goes for chem. The sad thing is that becoz of these 2 subs i have neglected bio for the whole past few weeks and only started last fri, and it looks like im going to fail even my best subs. i guess i have to stop kidding myself.
i am not smart. I do not belong in jc.
Notices a few things. In jc, u are only popular when u are smart or good in ur studies. ppl want to make frens with u and they look down on ppl who are not, even if they themselves are not smart.
anyways having a headache since math paper. slpt a while but it seems to have worsen it. So im going to sleep again. nightz

I lik "prehistoric ice man", "night of the living homeless" and "tsst" teh most ^^ not to forget the "make love not warcraft", that was hilarious too.

basket chem teacher say wad those who slp in class are those who do badly. fine whatever. u are a nerd u wun understand ppl lik us. diff ppl need diff hours of slp ok? And wads wrong with taking short naps in btwn breaks? u say u observe that those who take naps are those who do badly. Sure we may do badly. But many heros throughout history are known for taking short naps. albert einstein took short naps. winston churchill took short naps. Alexander even nap while on his horse!!!
anyway maths dam sian. i think the whole asp program lik waste time. And screw those teachers who think that aft asp we have time to do anything else. screw those teachers who say we never make time to study. looks lik most teachers have no brains at all. do u think we have the time to do both? even doing hw is tuff enuf. even if its possible to not slack a single day, how long can we keep up the momentum be4 our body fails us? DAM it. u frigging ppl dun even think be4 u do anything. And yet u scold us for not focusing. Try focusing for 10+ hr a day and i'll see u crumble to dust in a sec =.=" HAIZzzzzz
k enuf of the angst. thanks boon for acc me to try study for the past 2 days. today did the gp with sheng yi and boon. dunno where the rest go. too tired i presume. had another bonding and sharing session. i dunno bout u all but i think quite fun although im sooooooooooooo tired. anyways good luck to those who are trying the best including me :)
