Bear Market

Has been very busy lately doing my marketing. Hahaha, not going to the supermarket or wet market - just spending more time monitoring the 'volatile' bearish stock market.

Supposedly, to be easy to go shorting the market since most stocks have been going downtrend due to the US sub-prime issues & the prevailing global weak economic outlook amidst the uncertainties that loom the various markets even after the US$700 billion bailout plan has been approved & rolled out by the US. However, it isn't that easy to trade as the market is still very volatile because there are also plenty of bargain hunters doing their shoppings picking up cheap deals for long term investments. With all the depressing news, people do not have confidence that the bailout plan will actually work or relieve the financial crisis in the long run.

Well, still have to be extremely cautious in my stock selections & strategy decision in order not to get my $$$ swallowed up. Anyway, whether the market goes up, down or sideway; there will always still be ways to enter the market. So sometimes not just need to be cautious but also must be more patient.

Description
Lee Wei Song School of Music started the Trinity Music Competition in the year 2004.

The name “Trinity” was chosen because the school aims to bring students from the three faculties, namely Unplugged Vocal, Composing and Lyrics Writing together, to interact and get to know each other whether they are current student or alumni.

The Contestants will gain the rewarding experience of collaborating with contestants from other categories, which is vital to their progression in this competition. This competition will also cultivate them into professional musicians or performers by applying what they have learned in classrooms onto stage. It will also help to identify talented individuals who have the potential to become artistes and spot those possessing the skills to further develop in the music industry.

I am sure many of you would have heard of Lee Wei Song, our very own Singapore-made- famous song writer. He has trained & groomed many budding singers including Stephanie Sun.

My friend, Yvonne is currently helping the school to organize the event for a good course. And it's totally a voluntary contribution by her. The profits from the event will be donated to charity homes: Chen Su Lan Children Home and Singapore Cheshire Home.

So do give Yvonne your support to make this event a meaningful & successful one!

Please help to pass the information around.

Worksite Garden

Hey, know what? I discovered a little slope near a housing work site has been turned into a plot of useful land. It has become the vegetable garden of the work site workers!

I passed by that way last week & saw one of their chilli plants dotted with many red chilli. Besides many chilli plants; there are two papaya trees, one pandan bush & also a flowering brinjal tree. It was a lovely sight.

This evening I went there to snap some pictures but found the red chilli on the plant missing. The worker who was watering the plants told me they were being picked by some of the workers.

I wish I will get to see the brinjals hanging on the trees when I pass by again the next time.

Green Culture Singapore

I am glad to have joined the Green Culture Singapore as their member. As a gardening enthusiast, this is definitely one place I must not miss.

The many interesting topics & pictures so freely contributed by their members are indeed very overwhelming for a newbie like me. I should have known their community earlier, from the time I first set up my garden experimenting growing tomato & capsicum plants with my children.

Well, will follow them closely to share & learn from my newfound friends.
