SMRT .....

Well, Today may be my unlucky day. And it could be unlucky day for other commuters taking MRT from Admiratly to Jurong East station and transfer to Pasir Ris station from around 8.30am to 9.30am.
When I arrived at the Admiralty MRT station, there was a sign saying
This is abit shocking. haha. 1stly it's monday blues. 2ndly, how am i going to school?!?! Taxi came to my mind. There is also a sign saying that trains expected to resume at 9am. BUt .... it may not resume also , rite? After spending 5 mins standing outside the MRT on how to change my mode of transport, I overheard 2 station employees telling the customers that there are shuttle bus taking ppl from yew tee mrt to bukit gombak mrt. hmmmm. Maybe they could put it on the sign so that more ppl will noe how SMRT overcome this problem.
Upon reaching Jurong East MRT, the crowd were all eager to get on the train to get to their destinations.
haha... woa... the mrt is infested wif commuters!
But one of the staff at station control made a mistake. She asked the ppl at platform A to get off the train (haha... i dunno which is platform A aniway). And she also asked ppl on the train towards Pasir Ris to get off the train as the train is not in use. BUT after the commuters reluctantly get off the train, she den asked them to get back ON the train and apologised for the wrong information(apparently she wanted to ask the peeps to get off the train in the central - the train towards marina bay) haha. Humans make mistakes, But making mistakes at this point of time is bad, cuz the crowd realli make 'sounds' this time. Having problems and delaying the trains is bad enough. To have human errors is making it worse. It puts ppl off to noe that there is no communication btw the employees standing on the platform and those in the station control or wrong information is passed to the station control.
Hope my day will be better. I'll be looking for the explaination.

Blunder of the Day

Hi all. I just came back from m'sia Supper at DUO(our usual place for supper in m'sia). I'll like to make a confession at my blog be4 the other 3 guys (don, qy, tiong ) flame me.

My apology for my carelessness. I actually forgot to bring my passport and tiong had to tell the custom officer that he made a wrong turn. Well, the lucky thing is they dunno the other 3 guys had their passport with them. if not, they wouldn't have believed his excuse (They had came in m'sia for at least 10+ times this year....)

Well, my excuse to my 3 fellow friends are tt
a) Study and do my project until I forgot to take my passport ( too hardworking)
b) went to toilet be4 and thus I forgot to take my passport

And obviously, It didnt' work

Well, luckily I live at woodlands....... I'm gd!

INFLATION

haha. normally I post mostly rubbish stuff. But I think this is impt , esp as an econs student.

The Sunday times came up with an article on "HOW TO BEAT INFLATION" and came up with 10 ways to overcome the shrinking dollar

1 - Cut down spending, live within your means (reduce expenditure)
2 - Try to save 20% of your pay or more (pay urself 1st)
3 - Do not be overly conservative (invest instead of leaving all of it in savings or fixed deposits)
4 - Don't rely solely on guaranteed products (bonds tt have marginal protection against inflation in long term )
5 - Save regularly via an investment platform (start investing earlier via savings plan)
6 - Take on sensible level of investment risk (resonable spread of defensive and growth assets)
7 - Invest for returns that will beat inflation (gobally diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds)
8 - Understand the power of compounding (plan, save & invest early. Rule of 72)
9 - Invest in asset class that appreciate (eg. property. but invest within ur means)
10 - Limit exposure to depreciating assets (consumer goods like car)

However, if you examine it again, the one way mentioned by sunday times to beat inflation is to invest, invest and invest.

The annual rates of inflation by CPI in singapore was still okay for the past few years. BUT....

"Singapore's annual inflation rate hit a 25-year high of 6.6% in January, according to Department of Statistics (DOS) data released on Monday [25 Feb 2008]. The inflation rate, as indicated by the consumer price index (CPI), was the highest since the 7.5% hit in March 1982. In December, the annual rate was 4.4%."

FInding things to invest to beat this 6.6% would be quite difficult. Seems like everyone of us needs to be equipped of the knowledge of investing if we wanted to win the battle against inflation.

Well, I need to find a job first..... haha.....
