On my birthday, I went to the library to get some books on money making and how to get rich. Figured that it was time to 'stop worrying about the amount of money you save' and start to be concerned about how to grow existing cash and find new ones.
So I made it a birthday resolution to take the first step. I don't expect these references to help much but I hope that they do give an basic idea about investing and making good use of your money. Since I'm aiming to get into banking and finance in university (argh, who isn't?), I better start by not being clueless.
I love cash. I mean, who doesn't? Those people who say they don't and give rosy reasons and philosophies about being just self sufficient are deceiving themselves. Hell no. I want to be much more than self sufficient.
Better stick to the resolution and start learning. I should also stop reading too much into cars. =p

wow. i just turned 20.
Hey all, welcome to my new blog!
Today's my 20th birthday (or should I say yesterday?), so I figured it'll be cool to start my writings on a new note, like how my age starts with a '2' now. So I woke up and I was a year older. I was just wondering if I was still considered a teenager for my age. Am I?
Anyway, it was quite a good feeling to be woken up by 'Happy Birthday' smses. Makes you smile especially they are from people whom you thought had forgotten. Really appreciate everyone for remembering. Thanks again!
My birthdays these few years have always been rather quiet affairs. No party, no cakes, no celebration. Even back in school, I had none of the loud celebrations where your friends flood you with gifts like new water bottles or big shiny balloons which scream for attention and then they start all those birthday songs in the canteen so everyone in school would know it's your special day. I remember though, that I received the new Oasis CD and a signed card from my J2 classmates and it made me quite happy. =)
My day was pretty boring for a birthday I would say, going out for breakfast in the morning, heading to the library and post office in the afternoon and going for my lessons in the evening. And if you are wondering why I'm not working today, you'll probably be jealous to know that I have a privilege of a birthday off. Bet that doesn't happen to you.
I meant to finish this post before 12am. But a certain someone called through msn just to sing a birthday song in German to me. Seriously I'm quite touched because how often do you have someone specially sing a song like that to you. Well, I haven't really had a chance to meet the person yet but we do have quite an active online friendship I would say. Now I wouldn't like you to speculate if it's a guy or girl cos' it's pretty obvious. If it's the former then it'll be totally gay you see.
So we talked for a couple of hours and that's why I'm only completing the post now. If you are reading this, yes, it's difficult to talk and blog at the same time. Whatever it is, thanks for the conversation and sharing of songs. Some parts I felt like a DJ cos music was playing in the background and I was talking.
Yes, this kinda made my day. The birthday song surprise. It was also a good thing to be communicating by actually talking, and not through typing. Although it was not face to face, it was still given a personal touch because we were not responding through a keyboard and screen. A refreshing change from the usual MSN chat. Oh what technology has done to us.
Getting late now..or should I say early? Only have about 3 hours plus to sleep before I prepare to go to camp. Tired but happy.
The day ended on a good note. =D
