Yes!! Finally!!

Finally! I get a typhoon holiday tomorrow!

This is the first typhoon holiday in more than two years. I am going to sleep in so much tonight.

Wang got his ass whipped against the Red Sox. Too bad Wang, you did not get your 19th win. Hop you do better in your next game.

Stiff Neck

I have been experiencing severe stiff neck since Sunday night. It is unbearably painful.

It hurts when I walk.

It hurts when I sleep.

It hurts while I am on the bus and the bus accelerates or decelerates.

It hurts at this very moment while I type.

I went to the hospital today to find out what was wrong, and the doctor told me I have been having too much pressure at work, and need slow down a little.

Man, tell me something I did not know doctor.

Stupid Online Store

I brought a new wireless AP online which I received at yesterday at work. I happily took it home today but to my surprise the damn thing turned out to be faulty.

What a waste of my time. Now I have to repack it and send it back and it is going to take another ten to twelve days before I can get a new replacement.

Fuck online stores I will never buy online again.

Mutual Funds Update

OK, here we go, I have lost more than NT20,000 so far.

Funny, stock market has crashed like a piece of shit since I entered. Great. I think I will sell them all soon.

New Phone!

Not for me, but for Peny.

The phone is a Sony Ericsson S500i. She loves the phone, and I love it too. It is basically the same as my W850i, but it is thinner and better looking.

I am greedy, now I feel like a new phone too.

Money Again

Well, I think I am out of my mind. I placed another 50k and 60k on two different funds. I thought if I want to earn some I might as well play big. Much like at the casinos, which I always lose.

Well, total I have put in 160k already on mutual funds, and I don’t think I can afford lose, otherwise I am doomed.

Taiwan Stock Exchange dropped 390 points today. Fuck.

Money

Ain’t cool when I have none.

My pay is very average, which means I can never get rich by collecting monthly paychecks from work. I need other sources of income.

People tell me I should start to look into shares and mutual funds. Actually, I also have been looking into them since last year, but just even really had my hands on them. The reason being that I never was much of a risk taker. I find shares and mutual funds very much like gambling, which things can become unpredictable.

However, I made my first breakthrough today. I placed 50k on a fund recommended by a good friend. I am a real novice, and most likely I am going to lose some, but I guess losing is a part of learning, so I just need to get over it.

Anyway, we will see how I go in a few weeks time.

Problems

Found an interesting read in The Inquirer, apparently Vista and XP accounts for over 34% of all of the world’s problems.

Google search for Vista Problem = 120,000,000 hits

Google search for XP Problem = 112,000,000 hits

More interestingly, Google search for “problem” = 679,000,000 hits – by my maths that means that problems with XP and Vista account for over 34% of all the world’s problems…

Yep, and after all these years, Microsoft still makes bad OS.
