recession hit us
at a coffee shop near my place, the western food stall and the chinese Porridge stall is
closing down. I think there are there less than a year only. another money lossing venture.
I think the rent must be too high for them to operate.

My 2009 Review
2009 is going to be a very bad year, many people will loose their Job, many will face pay cut.
business & shop owners will see that sales drop , maybe by as much as 30 to 50 % . i do not think we need to wait till quarter 2 to see this happening.
I fail to understand why some people still can plan for a holiday abroad during this difficult time.
we are all in the same boat, everyone will be hit , one way or another.

11 Days

of the paper.

they got the answer.

low risk, MSCI 44 % compare to 31 % , so ? feel better or what ?

TV License
If you have a TV , you pay $110.00 a year as License fee, whether you watch
those channel or not. We watch mostly Cable TV programmes,
there is no option to opt out. maybe they should package it for Cable so that
you sign up for it if you want.
best of cause is to reduce the fee or even set to zero.
