Another 6 and half weeks to go

Boring….just counting my fingers and there goes year 2008 soon.
A lot of questions popping up and down from myself as well as friends but I don’t think there is anymore answer for them.
I am lacking behind from my own tasks and the projects that I wanna do……BUT the economy is slow now from my point of view. There is still a few advantages for me and friends but CASH is king..
What is my point here? hmmnnn

OK…if you have the patience to read so far then there is a bad news….
I will not update my blog till mid December, please come back later or go to Facebook to find me using my current email address.

Secondhand bookshop

Since I came back to Auckland, I been to a few secondhand bookshops and the one that catch my eyes is the Ponsonby Road one and then when we go sailing..Peter mentioned about this one.
The hard to find bookshop in Onehunga, only 15mins in the shop and I found five book which will take me a few weeks to finish.
It only cost me $54…….

When I left, my old friend David book is on display in the front window…..I wonder how much it will cost.

A slow week

Suddenly, I went into sleep mode this week and not much work done and as usual…it is retirement environment for old and un-active people like me.

Anyway, I can see the depression going into Auckland now…..from my friends source, some of the jobs and works is going to fade away at end of this year….
I am trying to find another way of getting a business coming up…hmmnnn ok - work hard-harder Jack NG……

OK, save the crap and I am going to sailing this weekend and stay away from my girlfriends and the yacht that had no internet and computer so………I am finally away from civilize world again.

北上尋歡

長週末的假期,我們北上尋歡,開開心心的兩日加漂亮的天氣。
不過北上方兩日,世間已千年,又來新一潮金融海嘯,明天我們這一方的衝擊會有多大?

Happy labour weekend BUT

The bad news is the downsize of the financial market and the bear market sink faster than your eyes can blink.

Finally, I went to the free coaching lawn bowling across my house.
I love it and focus myself in the lawn for 2 hours and had a few good bowl around the Jack(yes, the white ball which the other 4 bowls need to get closer is called Jack)

Bad news

My relative Uncle Ming in Indonesia passed away. He is a good and old wise man, I used to drink beers and wine with him back at KB, Brunei. We had a few interesting topics to talk about and I like the old time with him.
One regret is I always failed to go to Indonesia to visit him.
Condolence to his side of the families.
