Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest. Speculators also buy gold early in a bull market and aim to sell it before a bear market begins, in an attempt to gain financially.
Whether as a stepping stone into the physical market, or as a move to diversify your investment portfolio, gold offers strong benefits to an investor. Of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment. The risk of buying gold is safer compare to other investment, ie. investment market declines, currency failure, and inflation etc.
Historically, the value of national currencies may rise and fall but the value of gold remains remarkably stable. Gold offers secure value and is easy to invest and fulfills the function of money and is accepted worldwide as a form of payment. You don't need a huge sum of gold to begin investing gold bullion coins but starting by buy gold bars.
This way and gradually, just like saving, eventually the gold bars will be piled up and trade off in higher price. Start today with an ounce?

Classical
Have you heard about Charlotte Church - the flower duet? Or Sarah Brightman - time to say goodbye? Recently I am so obsessed with these 2 songs. They were kept in one of my mp3 CD long time ago but i didnt realized I have them.
In fact i came across in a movie - The Mummy 3 and I thought of looking for the songs but eventually got forgotten (my bad) cause it is second (or third or dunno what rank of my) priority. So co-incidentally, it just came by, just like it was arrange like a sequence into your life and destined to meet it again.
Feel satisfy and happy, yeap, I am the kinda person who can be satisfied easily. Perhaps age is catching up but once a while. I will still turn on my beloved Marilyn Manson. Hehe...

TW Trip
TW trip is just 2 weeks to go. This is the first time we have so many relative in one trip. basically, we occupied the tour and not mixing with any outsider.
I have been planning this trip a year ago and it was all started with a impromptu air ticket hunting game (yeah i call the promo as game) by Air Asia. The response is inevitably fast and great, we as in 11 pax bought the ticket within a day, but with different price. Of course, those bought under my name were the lowest rate. Haha...
I like traveling with family. Perhaps the family bonding is so strong that's why we will never have ending conversation. Moreover, the joy of them is my most satisfaction and happiness. Therefore, i dont mind organizing the trip, looking for travel agent, preparing itinerary, looking for lowest rate money exchange and bear the risk of loosing their hard earn money.
Anyway, it is only happening coming next week, really hope we can make it a happy one. Stay tune for more...

Share, Currency and Gold
Recently I have been involving heavily in investment. Well officially invest but just had the opportunity to touch on it.
I observed, amongst share, currency and gold, so far the most stable investment is gold. The price for share and currency is fluctuating like yoyo. Subsequently, risk is higher than the normal player like me could afford. For gold, as the dollar weakens, the price in purchasing the gold is subsequently lower. However, unlike share, the benefit of gold investment is the value is sustaining and keep growing.
It is obviously the best time to buy gold bullion now. The trend of buying gold is getting more attention due to the reasons mentioned above. Moreover, unlike share and currency, gold is recognized globally and the value is standard across. Imagine, in case, I mean just imagine if war, will you carry the share, currency or gold in order survive? : )

Influenza A and H1N1
Need not further explanation, you know i know. It's a latest disease in this new era that kills uncounted. First blast, half of the world was in fear. Many died, minor survived. Recently the second wave is on the way, and it is happening in my office.
7 confirmed cases, 1 of them was sitting in front of my cubicle. I got missing from the office and working like refugee around mamak, old town, bakery for about a week just to avoid that. From this case, only i know that Influenza A is in fact not H1N1. H1N1 is one of them, a killing one. The rest mostly survived ok.
Tomorrow i gotta back in office. I wonder why i risk my life for him. Perhaps i should re-consider the future. Damn, streamyx still haven't online....

Sudden Change
There are plenty of changes in March. Prophecy says horses are in good shape but difficult year. Stepping into 2010, it seems the prediction is quite true, except that horses born in my year is a bit tougher than i thought.
Skeptical, i guess, but it is also one of the predictions mentioned in those 8 gua articles. Couldn't believe it more, or perhaps i am just getting older, perception is weaker than expected and thus relying some impractical theory to comfort my loosing spirits.
Somehow, the change is not as bad as i thought. Maybe it's the symptom before the storm coming Q3? Well, as once ancient chinese said - when the boat arrive the jetty, it will be okay... what else i could ask more for now?
