Phui sponsor us.. our team name is "MEI AGU" (MEI is our section.. AGU is bull mah.. so, similar to 'chicago bulls' loh.. haha..)

FaB RaCe

2006-11-25T15:54:00.000+08:00

today we had our most awaited event of the year, FAB RACE !!! this year's theme is Xciting Kuching. this is my first race. last year we registered but forfeited becos of duty/work reasons..

we arrive at around 6am early in the morning for registeration to get entrance for the bonus round. my team members are me, Lim Peh, Ah Yong and Francis. Lim Peh arrived the earliest, follow by me and ah yong. Francis is the last one to arrive...

we start off with the bonus round which got 4 obstacle games for each of us to complete. i start off with hula-hoops and pass the ball to lim peh. then lim peh with the ball had to run through the tyres and pass to Francis to dribble the ball thru the cones. finally ah yong had to turn around the baseball bat with head on it 5 times, then shoot the ball to the small goal.. no chance to shoot though.. timed up!! ahh.. shit.. only manage to score 4 out of 5..

after taking breakfast, we line up to start the race. we flagged off at 7.20am. start off very good. manage to follow the correct route and answers the questions (although not sure correct or not)...

at around 9am, things start to go wrong.. we took the wrong route.. and we are lost !! cannot find the race point. shit.. everyone start to nervous.. personally i think it is the failure of the navigation. too many directions given by each individual members.. appointed navigator oso not confident.. driver oso confused !! apa lagi.. in the end we cannot finish the race.. i think not only us cannot finish but we are very far behind... shit.. so embarassing !!!

we are instructed to go to the final destination point at Kelab Golf Sarawak (KGS). we are the 63 teams to arrive (out of 65).. haha.. really terrible... oh god !! where is my lady luck ??? pls come back to me.. i really need you to be with me now and forever.. you must stay with me.. !!! lost this, lost that.. aahhh... i cannot tahan... haha...

at KGS, Francis had to to the final game.. swimming.. tidak memalukanlah.. but too little too late.. had our lunch at the KGS ballroom.. went back to company then.. dont even want to wait until the event ends.. no eyes to see anymore...

soo headache today.. overall not a good race.. !! no chemistry among members.. too 'barbaric'.. not sure correct word to use or not.. but i think in future i for sure will not be in this same team anymore.. cannot concentrate.. nothing to be proud of in this race !! got memory that now i can tell others i joined the race before.. haha..

hope we wont get the last place.. personally i think we will not get the last place !!

want to go back sleep.. so tired..

working here for more than 5 years, seen a lot of changes, but the yearly bonus that we had never change.. always a little bit only. it's all performance based though.. the better you perform, the more you get. last year i got 1 month bonus.. this year some changes. it's quarterly base bonus.

why i talk on the bonus?? well, i'll be getting our 2nd quarter bonus next week.. haha... feel a bit happy about the news. at least got some reward for all my hardwork and sacrifices to the company. not a lot but at least can cover some of my expenses..

hope company under new management team will be able to be successful and more bonuses to come.. and hope it's bigger bonuses.. :)

5D RePoRT WeeK

2006-10-10T13:15:00.000+08:00

last week was officially my 5D reports week !! why you might ask ?? well, last week was full of incidents in the company. i had sleepless nights not because the incidents happened during midnight or early in the morning.. but sleepless because thinking of how to answer to production people on the root cause of the incidents and actions to be taken to prevent the future incidents.. that's the more headache portion.

went in to the production morning meeting is like going to a battle field. must wear the bullet proof jacket... if not, sure got lubang-lubang in the body after come out... haha...

so many incidents that make my life for the past one week like a hell.. hope this week will be better.

only today i had my chance to sit down a bit longer to even write tis blog.. haha.. everyone is chasing after me for things.. everyone say urgent.. i delay a bit, they say i dont do my work.. ahh... F**k them !!

i always say to myself.. it's just work.. nothing to be personal about it.. so, i dont want tis to interfere with my daily emotion and feeling.. if not, sooner or later i'll be the member of 'tanjong rambutan'... haha...

YaHoo FaNTaSY Week 7

2006-09-28T17:56:00.000+08:00

last week is a good week for me. manage to get the highest point among the teams for that week. i'd climbed from number 6 to number 4 this week.. great !!

this week will be another challenge for all the teams to get points.. competition starts to get hotter.. team managers start to talk cock.. include me.. haha...

X-Fan6 league (as of week 6)

below is my team this week.. thierry henry is still my best bet though.. good luck !!

My DaiLy RoUtiNE

2006-09-26T13:13:00.000+08:00

currently i'm working as an engineer in XFAB Sarawak (formerly known as 1st Silicon). i'm in the Facility department under MEI group. i'm taking care of MEI Operation. i have 16 technicians under me which work in shifts of 4. shift A,B,C and D.

everyday i need to come to office quite early as i need to conduct the morning meeting with my technicians. during the meeting, problems will be highlighted and discussed between me and my guys.

FMCS is our control room. what we do ?? actually we are the facility complaint centre. all problems regarding facilities will come to us first. even small things like door stuck, aircond not cold, toilet block, lighting blown, water line leak, etc.. we need to look into.. sometimes people say, we are general worker.. anything also we do.. "macam-macam ada..."

so, basically for our section, we always do fire-fighting activities. people complaint, we troubleshoot, do containment, and temporary fix.. and we are also the one that always got complaint as our customer (anyone that call us, is our customer) will only interface with us. our response is very very important to them.

MEI (Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation) operation mainly deals with 3 of those field. we do controls of the facility systems, operation of the systems, monitoring of the systems.. etc.

it can be sometimes easy and most of the time hard.. we are always under pressure to get our job done. pressure from production, from customer, from bosses.. etc.. we are in a pressure cooker.. !! hahaa......

everyday, i need to also sign-off all the gds (gas detection system) disable form from the production people to request for the gds disable for their PM activities. even weekends i need to entertain all these calls.. what to do.. it's my responsibility.

talking about gds, actually i started my responsibility in this section with gds. i was the overall man-in-charge for the gds system. i handled quite a few big projects on the gds system. so, mostly now although my responsibility changes, people still come to me regarding gds system.. this is good.. but if things happened, they also look for me.. arrghh... why always me.. haha.. it all comes to how committed and responsible am i.. the truth is, i'm quite committed and responsible though.. haha.. "masuk bakul, angkat sendiri.." haha....

basically that's my responsibilities in MEI operation. very challenging and a lot of patience required for this job. most importantly, i need to enjoy this work life to relief the stress of my work...

on Monday morning, our FMCS control room having some problem with its network for the SCADA PCs. almost all the PC cannot connect to the server. so, my guys having some problem to monitor.

our gds client pc also down. so, many complaints from the production people as they cannot request for gds disable and cannot proceed their maintenance activities. i was so pressure to up the pc asap. phui did help me to troubleshoot and we manage to get the network up after a while.

nothing can be found that caused the problem. what we did is unplug and plug back the connections, and everything back to normal. hmm... very weird !! i never encounter this before. well, this serve as an experience for future similar problem.

the problem didnt end just like that.. one of the pc keep having network problem after that.. this morning i try to troubleshoot further but unluckily caused the overall network to be downed. but i manage to recover back within half an hour !!

now the network still under monitoring.. really cannot find any problem / fault with it.. must be ghosts.. !!! wwuuuuuhhh...... !! :)

my partner, Alan a.k.a. 4K was also in form.. as for Alvin (alabin) and Alex (123), they should had won the last game though.. but we manage to build up 'teng' 'teng'.. so, we beat them in the end..

conducted by our training manager, Suresh Kumar and location is at our training developement center, Rentap (our site office). i'll be going there together with Alex. what we are waiting for is just the tea-breaks and lunch.. haha...

PoS LaJu

2006-09-18T15:30:00.000+08:00

i cant remember when is the last time i use poslaju to send things liaw.. but today i sent one. send the medical check report for my insurance purchase from AIA (thru Alvin's sister). to my surprise, it's damn expensive.

i thought it will not cost more than rm5 but it actually cost me rm6.83.. for 10g of letter.. soo expensive.. suck blood.. i hope the letter will reach it destination by tomorrow as per promised by the officer there (nice guy though). if not, i complaint loh... so expensive yet not reach destination as promised !!

haha.. what is all the complaint here.. hehe.. i can still claim back from Alvin's sister when she came back mah.. haha..

2006-09-18T10:55:00.000+08:00

what did i do last weekend?? answer is totally nothing !! i just rest (sleep) at home. it had been quite a long time i didnt sleep like this.. so very very 'song'...

wake up so very late already.. then watch tv, after that eat, then sleep some more... wah... very nice.. haha... you know what, i think doing nothing like this also very tiring.. today i feel so tired although had a very very good rest last weekend. this show that the study is very true, sleeping will cause our body to burn more calories.. a good way to slim down.. dont belief me, try it out !! haha...

today back to work.. engine not start yet.. so not in the mood to work yet.. monday blues.. haha..

PC DiSaSteR

2006-09-16T12:30:00.000+08:00

yesterday i had a pc disaster at office. initially the computer was already quite ill because of all the junk i fed to it.. hehe.. so, i tried to make it better by cleaning up all the junks. in the process of cleaning the junks, i accidentally deleted some important files needed by the windows.

guess what happened?? my pc is in comma !! it still can go in to the windows but cannot logon to the company network !! i tried so many ways to recover it but to no success. yesterday from noon time until 10pm i was trying to do that. imagine the energy i put into this.. but still failed.. sooo disapointed !! although i can easily get our IT people to look into it, but i refuse to do so as i felt i can do it !!.. but almost give-up..

today morning came to work on it again. this time, a bit more clever.. search thru internet for solution.. so luckily that i found a solution. i tried it and it works !! just that i still need a little help from our IT personnel to add my pc back to the network (i'm only normal user.. not network admin rights.. wtf..)

now i'm using back my pc to write this blog.. haha.. so happy that i dont need to re-format my pc.. it could have been so much more headache for me because of the data that i need to backup and time wasted on this...

so cheerful today.. hooraayyy.. !!!

X-FAb SaRAwAk

2006-09-14T15:50:00.000+08:00

what so interesting about that title, you might ask?? well, that's my new company name. changed from 1st Silicon(M) Sdn.Bhd. to X-FAB Sarawak. i've been here for just a little over 5 years and i'd seen quite a lot of changes since then.

first, the change of CEO from Claudio Loddo to John Nelson. then change of company logo. followed by now the change of company name, logo (Again), etc.. due to the new merger with X-FAB from Germany.

nice logo? we are now x-men !!

not very sure whether this merger will benefit us the employees or not. but i hope for the best and there are positive signs that we are moving at a right directions.. we have a nickname now, x-men !! hahaha.....

who can predict future?? pls tell me x-fab sarawak's future !! hahaha... not much can be said except move in line with the company's objectives and strive for the best in all aspects of works. Quality is x-fab's focus as it will determine customers' satisfactory and their reliability on our products.

VcDs

2006-09-11T12:40:00.000+08:00

last Saturday i went to Kenyalang Park and bought some VCDs. coincidently there is a offer sale of RM10 for 4 vcds. thinking of watching some movie later of the day, so i grab 4 pieces loh.. something happen prior to that.. a gal was standing just next to me. she is shorter than me and wearing a bare shoulder blouse. she was also searching for vcd to buy. to my pleasure, from the position i'm standing and the angle of she bending forward, i have a nice view of her curves.. i think she noticed me looking at her but she was not shy to let me see though.. i think she's chinese.

well nothing happen though.. haha.. ok.. back to the vcd i bought. one of it titled 'Sky High'.. a superhero movie. quite nice.. worth the rm2.50 i paid for.. hehehe.. recommended to watch this movie. quite entertaining. light story plot. not so complicated. maybe a little bit too childish.. well what you expect, it's a Disney movie.. and i'm an over-grown kid.. haha.. 3 out of 5 stars..

others i havent watch but had browse thru.. all quite good. so, really worth the buy.

yesterday 7-Sep was a very unlucky day for us. we have a major power interruption and caused a lot of our systems down. our plant UPS having some problem.. auto-isolated one-by-one and left 2 units before it finally goes overload due to the high loading connected.

what a terrible situation that we face and required to recover. each and every engineers run up and down, left and right to check and manually start all the system that were down.

for myself, i start off to make sure the controls in the FMCS is back and the major systems are up before i proceed to run to the gas control room to check for the GDS PLC and then run into the subfab.. after resetting back one of the I/O panel that tripped, then i ran back to FMCS and proceed to run to the cold room chiller to reset back the chiller.

finally after most of the system are stabilized, i went up to 3rd floor to help on the exhausts changeovers and startups.

the event started at around 2:20pm and ended at around 9pm as this is the time we announce back to production of the full recovery.

after the 'war'.. we proceed to Pending Seefood (as usual whenever there is an emergency). and as usual also, Kok belaja... wah nice foods... especially the 'drunken prawns'... the soup is so 'kaw-kaw'...yummmyy....

after dinner was almost 11pm.. reach home terus tidur.. headache liaw.. haha..

what a day... !!

i havent really talked about my new bought camera. it is a kodak camera. Kodak Easyshare C643. cost RM899. free 512MB SD and also a tripod.

check out it details.. here

after using it for about 2 weeks, i feel regretted to have bought it... taking photos under sufficient light is very nice.. but at night time, especially outdoor, i cant even see what am i focusing at. the LCD just show black screen... arrggghhhh.... disappointed.

it is a very user friendly type of camera.. but it functions, especially the display, really sucks!!!

recommendation to buy Koday Easyshare C643, 5 out of 10 (10 for very very good and recommended)

"tanggal 31, bulan 8, 57.. merdeka!! merdeka!!...." that's the song that keep been playing in the radio and also the TV. it's 31-Aug, Malaysia's National Day!!

it has been 49 years of independence and we are still in harmony living together in this multi-racial society. the national day celebration this year is at here in Kuching.

there are so many people in the city area and a lot of roads were blocked as there will be a lot of activities during the celebration. on the eve of the merdeka, i went out to the city to see what is happening there.. guess what.. i see nothing.. sooo jamm.... what i saw was cars, motorbikes and people walking.. some ahmoi too... haha..

so, after 1.5 hours trapped in the traffic, i decided to go back home and sleep.. :(

next day, the merdaka day, i watched the parade from the TV.. dont dare to go out to the city again.. haha..

whole day rest at home. watch tv and play DOTA only.. so, that's how i celebrated the national day this year.. boringgg.....!! :)

2006-08-15T08:56:00.000+08:00

seems like there is a thief in the facility office. he/she has been operating for quite sometime already. quite a few valuable items had been missing. e.g. laptop, camera, memory sticks, card readers, etc.

the recent incident was the stolen facility camera. the camera was kept by NgMC. it was last used during Tony's birthday (check my previous post). the photos for the birthday had not been uploaded yet. i tried on last friday but failed. so actually want to wait for monday to try upload again.. hmm.. what to do? no more camera...

last time i also lost my memory stick in the office.. i wonder why the thief only target facility office.. i never heard from operation that things go missing in the admin operation office..

hope the thief will be caught soon. now our security is doing their investigation in the office.

STOP!!

2006-08-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

it's been quite an unlucky few months for me in the stock market. buy what lose what. or even worse, buy and sold (lose a bit).. the next day that particular stock shoot up like rocket. aahh... why so unlucky??

since no more capital in the account, i may as well take a break from the 'heart-attack' of the stock trading. live a simple life for a while. concentrate on my work. do more studies on the current robust market. cant really jump into it without knowledge of Do's and Don'ts.

must try to consolidate all the loses and turn it into valueable knowledge. make use of the wrong things i did and avoid it.

few things i would like to share for the short experience i gained in the stock market.

1. never be greedy
2. must always be patient (either buy or sell)
3. dont be too emotional in making decision
4. be selective when buying
5. dont put all your eggs in one basket
6. trade only within your limits.. dont play margin
7. read and research more to gain knowledge
8. dont trust blindly on rumours or forums.. do research first
9. self-planning is very important
10. always down-to-earth when winning or losing (keep low profile) - play smart

hope i'll do better when i'm out from my retiring in the future.. haha.. when? when time is right and capital is in hand.. haha.. long time to go....

Today is Tony's birthday!! 28 years old liaw. same age as me. but my birthday not reach yet.. so, i'm still younger.. haha..

that day, Tony's girlfriend, Gloria from our Finance arranged a surprise birthday celebration in Facility office for Tony. at around 4.30pm, Gloria came with birthday cakes and soft drinks. we sang birthday song and Tony made a wish before blowing off the candles..

simple but cheerful celebration.. especially all the monkeys in the office, teasing both Tony and Gloria. we seldom have birthday celebration in the office. so, this brighten up the office environment.

we took some photos. i tried to upload it out but failed. so, decided to upload again on Monday. (edited on 14.8.06 @ 1:05pm) but unfortunately the camera went missing during the weekend.. will talk more on this next time.

2006-08-11T08:32:00.000+08:00

on the 7,8&9 august is our process hold days. since i joined 1st silicon, this is the first time that we have a 3 days process hold. the first 2 days is mainly for our Facility works.

most of us came in very early in the morning of 7-aug. Alex came in at 6am. i just wake up at 6am.. haha.. Alvin called me at that time for breakfast. i didnt go. i took a shower and prepare for the hectic day ahead. arrive at company at 6.45am... then start the process hold final preparation before the wisel 'go'.

first activity to start off is the exhaust activities. then i start mine at around 9.15am. i changed all the FMCS and GDS PLC sync modules. when doing this, face some panic moments where the PLC cannot startup after powered down. but manage to startup in the end. during the work, there are too many 'helpers' around.. all my guys surrounding me like i'm giving practical training to them. they asked questions, and i think it's a good experience for everyone. however too many helping hands until i also confuse sometimes.. then even worse, in the middle of having some problem myself, this master Wong (David) come to me for help on his activity down at the UPW/WWT control room. i'm not able to help him as the cable that he needs is not with me and i dont have any idea where it is.. however, it interrupted my activity and concerntration already.. wtf.. sorry David.

basically, i manage to complete all my activities in time except the GDS PLC static UPS changeout. we took 1 hour more to complete.. but provided we started 0.5 hours late due to other activities.. so much pressure when doing the changeout. people cant go into the Fab/Subfab due to this activity. so, they are waiting for me to finish only they can proceed with their planned activity... i was under tremendous pressure... shit.. i almost burst.. haha.. luckily got pressure relief valve.. haha...

first day i went back at 11pm.. for others, some go earlier, some later, some even didnt go back.. just like our mr.Phui.. sleep at the workplace.. hmm... sleeping at work.. should we get him fired?? haha.... absolutely not.. he sacrifices a lot for the company.. end of 2nd day, he told me that 2 days he didnt bath and didnt see his sons... i salute him for this.. but i think he should take a break.

well, 2nd day went busy as well.. exhaust continues to have problems. actuators laa.. damper laa.. bearing laa.. vibrations laa.. etc.. NgMC is up there helping out Patrick fulltime. i was up there helping to supervise and coordinating on the techs.. that's what i think i did laa.. others may think that i'm kepoh up there.. nevermind, wtf then...

my last activity was on the PWB regulating valve replacement. manage to do it with the super help of Ah Hua, Harni and Kueh.. for this activity, some setback for me comes from the people up at the 3rd floor (exhaust). we actually sharing the cda manifold key that i took for my activity at that time. we are actually almost finish with it when there is a call to my hp saying that they need the key. i told him that we need a bit longer. and you know what is the response i got??? "we need to up the exhaust.. production is chasing for us.." wtf!! this really pissed me off.. production will only start the next day.. and he is threatening me using this excuse??? i didnt talk to him further as i think no point to argue. i understand he is in pressure to up the system as scheduled and so do i.. u have ur difficulty, i have my own as well.. he shouldnt have threaten me like that.. well, let bygone be bygone... i didnt loose anything, we manage to finish our work also.. 2nd day, i went back a bit early at 10pm.

3rd day was the day where production is starting up all the tools. acid exhaust still have problem.. so do PCW#4. but in the end of the day, everything went ok.. with problems here and there which are manageable...

so, here you go.. our process hold summary.. haha.. i only summarize our section's activities. for UHPW, i dont know.. i heard some problem with their network cables.. maybe due to someone from the underworld.. you know, on 8-aug is actually the 15th day of month seven in the chinese calendar.. which is the "hungry ghost day"... luckily i didnt see any ghosts on that day.. haha...

that's all then...

i'll be cooling off these few days.. let the market settle down and will pick up some low price share to play.. no more budget to buy expensive shares liaw.. :(

as a reply to Patrick's "Hazzard Day 2", today me and my technician, Afiq or glamour name Bojeng continues the cleaning left over by Patrick's group the previous day.

the stomache actually is only a bit. the laziness to go for the training is actually the main reason. haha.. Patrick is rite about that. but i'm telling the truth.. i really had a stomache. hehe..

as for the root cause of the hazzard, i think Patrick maybe rite. so, it may be just dust after all. however, tomorrow we will investigate further as the area now is quite clean and not much hazzard to our health anymore.

hope tomorrow we can find the actual root cause and able to fix it.

whoever read this, on saturday (15-jul) i really had a stomache. i didnt lie.. haha..

as promised, today i'm gonna write something about my colleagues in the office. i'll start off with my section, MEI.

head of our section is mr.KangPY. he's among the most good looking guys in the company..people say only, not contested so dono the truth (but i think true la.. if you see him, sure u agree). he has a few nicknames, 'q-mo', 'maggie-mee', 'kang hu po' (anchovy).. haha.. shh.. dont let him know, later i susah.. :)

next come to our cute little mr.PhuiVF (my boss). high, medium and low voltage manager. has the loudest voice in the office. it will never be a dull day if he's in the office. if not, it will be so quiet. then come our mr.Patrick. another tall handsome guy (no more available..hehe). boss of the mechanical systems.. joined the company at the same time with me...hmm.. that's 5 years ago.

next, we have all the 'kuncu-kuncu'.. Clement, Esty, Sweeling, AlanT, MengChiew, KongWH (the youngest) and myself.

move on to the UHPW section. we have the 'future director' as the head, mr.KongSL. he is my first boss when i joined 1st silicon (change name soon loh...). i should be thankful to him as he's the one who bring me to the working world. then we have Alvin, Alex, Liew, Tony, TsuiL, DavidW, Jonathan and Douglas. actually i'm much closer to this group people. why?? maybe the same hobby and interest.

now, we talk about ehs. we only have 4 staff in the entire section. Ismail, Rowena, Ms Lam and Mus.

lastly come our director, mr.Ken.C Lee. he's from taiwan. his surname is not Ken.. i think it's just a glamour name. haha... his full name is Lee Ken Chou. a very supportive and nice guy. our dept. had grown a lot under his management. we'll support him all the way.

hmm.. talked so much with no photos?? well, let me look around first. if i found any, i'll post them up. cheers...

hmm.. what did i do today? well, for a start i wake up at 6am and went straight to the restroom. took a bath and brush teeth. prepare for work and reach office at 7.05am.

checked my emails, login to my maybank2u account and make a queue to sell off my stocks. then go fo my morning meeting with my technicians. every morning at 7.30am, i'll have meeting with my technicians to discuss things that happened, update on work done, problems and issues.

after the meeting, it's back to the ordinary workplace facing the same pc i'm facing right now. well, cut the details of what i do in the morning(as not much had been done, except followups). had my lunch with my colleagues (Alex & Liew) at the cafeteria. food there is not so good (lousy) but very cheap compare to outside. so, for cost savings, eat inside.. haha...

after lunch, as usual feel sleepy. continue the boring daily life in the office with paperwork and followups. today had a discussion meet with the dinamik consolteq guy (chemical network system improvement discussion). had almost 1.5 hours of discussion. very interesting and meaningful (at least).

back to office workplace and check on my stock sell status.. very disappointed as the price i queued early this morning not even reach. so, no choice i have to downgrade and luckily it was sold-off. only made a little. lesson learn - do not be greedy, gain a little is also gaining.

now, late in the evening already. only left a few guys in the office. i'm still facing the pc. feel like want to go off already. i'm always among the earliest to come and among the late ones to go.

ok then.. cya. want to go liaw. tomoro i will blog on my colleagues. want to know more about them? wait.... ;)

nothing to blog actually, just wanna share something i got from klse. market has not been doing well for the past 2 months and now it is starting to stabilize (seems to me it is lah..)

i had tried to start something new, which is to buy stocks in volume at lower price and sell within a day or so, after it goes up a bit (half a cent will do).

is there any risk to it? yes! everything has its own risk. for the method i use, the risk is a drop of even half a cent will cost a lot as i buy in volume. however, risk of getting big loss is reduced as the margin for the stock price to go down a lot is not much as the initial price is already very low.

blah blah... it is something boring and non-interesting as you wont earn much. well, for low capital investment, this is a very good way to earn $ (at least i think so).

i had tried this for a week, and i'm on a winning streak!! not much did i gained but at least still earning.. :)

having said all the above, buying stocks must come with detailed analysis too. buy stocks blindly will always burn ownself. so, be smart when choosing a stock and selling it at a right price.

wish everyone good luck!!

well done and congratulations to the Azzuri team. though not my favorite team, they did show the best quality in the tournament and emerge as worthy champions!

the losing team, France (which i prefer more) had their moments and chances of winning but to no luck..hmm.. the most sad thing is the sending off of a living legend, zizou (Zinadine Zidane). what a way to end his international career..

Referee Horacio Elizondo shows the red card to France's Zinedine Zidane during the final of the soccer World Cup between Italy and France in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin

overall this year's world cup has been a very successful and memorable one. a very highly rated Brazil team had been send home as early as in the quarterfinals by France that lead by their mastermind midfielder, Zizou.

nevertheless the home team, Germany had shown its potential as a serious contender for the title but has been beaten by the eventual champions, Italy!

hopefully next world cup will be more interesting and maybe an underdogs capturing the title? :)

enough about all the MCs, black eyes, sleepiness at work..it's time to go back to our daily routine and move forwards...

forza italiano!!
