Marking the end of half the year and only Europeans survive the World Cup Semis...

We are now left with 4 European teams; quite unsure about who would lift the 2006 cup! Now that crowd favortites- Brazil ,Argentina and England are off , Italy was the only predictable win!

Theirry Henry and Klose remain my heroes as France and Germany enter the semis of FIFA World Cup 2006. My new hero is Ricardo who without doubt proved Portugese are better off than the English team.

Crippled by the loss of a crying and injured Beckham and aggressive Rooney; the team couldnot even take advantage of couple of tense penalty shots by the Portugese! At 3-1; we soon had a whole bunch of England supporters crying at the loss ....The following match was also quite a surprise win as Brazil are still considered the best team!I hope to see re-run of the Brazil vs. France match before I comment on the match....

On the other hand, half of 2006 has already passed by while I think I was just getting used to the year 2006.Now when I look back- I did finally get my car windows tinted, got a new wallet, frames; so I think I did manage to keep up with my list! Need to make a new one now!

Wishing all Goodluck for the rest of year...before we know it we will soon be wishing the best for 2007!! eeks....scares me when time flies soooo fast!

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
