FIFA fever!! Lahm sets the pace...

International Football matches are something I have missed in a long time....Thanks to the FIFA 2006, I decided to watch football after ages or lets be precise...the last football match I saw was (Arsenal vs. Tottenham) was a year back which was different fun!

For the 2002 FIFA ,I had the pleasure of being in Germany and obeserve the craze, the street celebrations and even big screens in offices, this time its at home!! Yes, we took the connection!

I come home after Violin classes and I get the pleasure of seeing Lahm's goal in less than 2 minutes of my settling down...then on the game was pulsating. Costa Rica were actually good fighters, the birthday boy (Klose) was just too good and Frings' goal confirmed Deutschland's win!I was so excited that I watched the next game - Ecuador vs. Poland , and as predicted, Ecuador were too good for the Polish! Not a great game though...

Ok, I am watching out for today's matches, but the awaited one is the Brazil team!

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...
