Shopping spree,Household chores,Article and views

Last evening after work,took mom for couple of malls for shopping.All stuff that she needs to take to Singapore.So we spent like 3 hours doing that and i picked up chocolates for myself.I have been eating a lot of it lately,turning back into that Choco-holic!The other day I saw a book on Chocoholics and it was mentioned ,how its still a mystery that when women eat 2 pounds of chocolates she gains 5 pounds!:-) It doesnot apply to me though...

Once we got back home,I ordered pizza,it has been a while since I have had one.Also some garlic bread with coke.Gosh,all that junk made me feel alive for some time!Had to do the dishes and the clothes!:-( I hate doing the dishes,its the worst job at home.I can do laundry,dust the furniture,vaccum,organize things in the room but never liked to do dishes!Its such a horrible process of scrub,wash,dry and put them in shelves,knowing the fact that you have pull them out in less than 6 hours and use them again!Yea,i get easily bored.

In the Business Times,I read an article on how China and India have conviniently not been invited to the G-8.These 2 economies are much larger and today,more powerful than economies like Russia,Canada and Germany.Yet,they donot get to participate in the summit.The concept of Third World countries come in and no matter how much more we prove,we just dont seem to make it to the top.This is mainly because we de-grade ourselves.And ,we, here is media.The media is utterly negative.They seem to tell the nation how unsafe and unreliable a place we are,rather than highlight the daily achievements.Not that they need to cover up the facts when its dirty but that success needs that importance too.Else at the end of the day there would be no point talking about the latest statistics on how many Indians have moved abroad and donot 'serve' the nation!

I think I would end my blogging for now,seems like i have caught on a serious note already! :-)

Uniquely Singapore -Day 9

The first destination for the day was Haw Par Villa.The garden made by Aw Boon Haw for his brother Aw Boon Par is worth a visit ,if you ask me.The garden is Haw's effort to communicate to the world about Chinese culture.Orginally, Burmese the family moved to Singapore where Haw's famous Tiger Balm made him a billionare.The loss of his sons and brother during Japan's invation is what led to the making of this fantasy land by balm billionare.An ideal location to take pictures where creatures are as big as or even bigger than humans,the Buddha statue, ten courts of hell , Jade house and the tomb-a colorful place this is. We then headed to Little India for exploring the shops out there and get the Indian feel.We visited the Perumal and Mariamman temples there.The Mariamman temple is about 150 years old but well maintained and expanded a beautiful place.

Will miss u...

My car- the cute206 : 65533 , will be missed terribly...so many joyous thoughts and experiences with it and has been one of my best friends! Together we've seen so many characters with us, explored new places, bad days on the road and even all those jolly, traffic-free drives with co-incidentally great music on the radio....! Never once gave up on me, always always loved it! Truly will miss u! :-(

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...
