When was the last time you did a generous act? Thinking hard?
Nah, give you a chance.. just a few clicks away.. log on to internet banking and do a 'bill payment' for an online donation, you'd find some organizations such as the community chest or the club rainbow to donate to.
I just did mine.
You may also visit some of the more popular sites to see what & how you could help - Salvation army, community chest, world vision, club rainbow, and the list goes on...
Digged out some old photos...
Was in Maine, New England, US, for 3 months stretching from Sep to Dec 2004. Wonderful memories, and till now, I've been looking back at the old photos, time to time.

See the botak tree...
Night scenery, with warm lightings, good photography skill hor?
It's not that I don't want to update... my life is simply too plain these days..
Other than ah pang's visit this week (currently happily in kaohsiung with, erghmm... 'friend'), and lotsa good food by suppliers, there's nothing much more exciting than my portfolio's movements!
Okay, another entertainment that I've been following closely is this! In mandarin, it's 超級星光大道, sama the super idol in Taiwan, and it's super funniie & hilarious! Anyway, if you've not been following, and if you're interested, just go search any Taiwan websites and you be amazed how the show have seeped through each & every household in the island. News channels have been reporting, and I'm not surprised if the gou zai dui is also chasing after them. This is not the first super idol show here, but it's the first version that has been so popular here.. Something we have to learn from the production crew.
Here's a short video clip of the 全民大悶鍋, impersonating...
Are you still using IE - Internet Explorer?
There's a new age term I come across in Taiwan :: 外貌協會 ::
This is to describe someone who is very conscious of his or her appearance, including things & people around him. They have acute sense of awareness to beauty and take steps to improve their looks. They also like things that are pretty, and prefer to use pretty things...
I think I belong to this club.
I like to use pretty things, including my internet browser.
I've long switched to Mozilla Firefox - besides the tab browsing feature,
the themes mozilla have are lovely.. lovely.. and.. lovely lah..
See this one in green, matches my siowzarbor blog page -
See this one in pink, isn't it sweet -
See this one in lilac, so peaceful looking -
Like it? Go get your Mozilla Firefox here.
Like the themes? Get them here.
以上纯属个人意见...
Please don't come sue me.. for... don't know what..
It' just my personal preference hor...
Equity Derivatives Societe Generale explained that there are 5 major factors influencing the movement of a warrant, namely - Underlying price, Days to maturity, Implied volatility, Interest rate, Dividend.
I *pui* ah...
Today, 5th June, STI Put Warrant 3450 STIsgaEPW070830, expiring 30th Aug, fell 7% when the STI closed 6 pts lower at 3572.9 pts! The put warrant is in the same direction as the underlying instrument! HOW CAN!!!? OK, I know this drop (the underlying instrument) is merely less than 0.2%, so it still depends on other factors like the IV and interest rate... The decay factor is too huge, and also decayed over the weekends! ANyway, I got so discouraged over these weeks, and finally dumped it at a great loss... *sob sob sob sob sob*. Bled & shed... ba bai and please continue to ls as you did....
For those who still want to gamble, or hedge your portfolio (which I still don't believe it works this way - it's not transparent how the BB played with the MM, and we as individuals could never beat the MM), check it out here. I liked the calculator though...
My heart is not as strong as before.
Something fun to share, zar bor recommends this website - my heritage -
It's a face recognition website, and all you have to do is to upload
your chio chio photo to the site server and it will run some advanced
sophisticated algorithm, matches & churns out the celebrities in you!
Put it simply, this website tells you which celebrities you resemble most!
And guess what, for 3 photos that zar bor randomly tried, the common factors
are Sammi Cheng, Miriam Yeung, Joey Yung, all the hong kong actresses...
Ke ke ke... just for fun huh...
Try it out!
