Insiders actitivities of public listed companies

I think insider trading activities should be made more readily available to the public. By observing the insiders (senior management of the public company), more or less the public can make better informed decisions.

Insider trades is an key indicator of the health of a company.

By observing the buying and selling of the senior management of the companies, more or less the public can find out the latest trends and health of the company.

If lots of senior management of the company selling out, means something wrong with the company.

Minorities shareholders were disadvantaged because they don't had the info of the senior staff of the company had.

I had received some annual reports. Taken note of the coming AGM meeting in the coming few days. I would like to go down for the AGM meeting to get a better feel of the company and talk to the CEO and ask some questions.

By going down to the company we can find out lots of things about the company. Some of them thought investing in stock is like gambling, of course there are some elements of risk involved in any form of investments. To be successful to find a valuable gem in the mine, need lots of research.

To go down to AGM mtg is a step to find out more about the company progress. It's difficult to get direct answers because they can't disclose any confidential info. Frequently by talking to the senior management through my observations can bring surprisingly results.

I can feels more of less the direction of the company. And the indication the company is it getting better or not when you talk to the senior staff of the company.There things we can't just read in the annual reports or through the news, we can find out when go down to the company.

Secrets tips of been a successful entreprenuer

Numerous friends had asked me tips on investing, so I wrote down my and experiences and ideas from the books that I read:

A nerve-racking experience riding a 360 degrees roller coaster in the darkroom

See my very thrilling ride inside a dark room on a roller coaster. It was one of my most nerve racking adventures, especially during the part when the roller coaster turning upside down, with your head facing the ground. All of us kept shouting loud to stop our fear as it kept twisting and turning round and round.

When you decided to go to the Tokyo Disneyland you got to go there early, because it was so popular, later groups and groups of students will arrives in school buses, you got to wait longer for the more exciting rides.

Wang Say So's interesting post featuring me on the topic of happiness.

In the article of: http://mrwangsaysso.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-set-goal.html/,
featured me on the topic of happiness, success and setting goals.

Generally speaking I am referring to the basic requirements of to be happy. ( Good health, sufficient money, a good spouse and a happy family).

A person can be successful but unhappy. A person may not be consider successful but happy. Success is subjective, different people has different views on success.

Mike Tyson may be consider successful as he able to earn $300 millions but unhappy. See the way he spent his money until he was bankrupt, he might be trying to buy happiness with money.

With all her glitter and glamour, happiness had eluded Princess Diana.

Freddie Mercury lead singer of Queen, with the most popular hit in the world(We are the champions) with all his talents and success, died of Aids at the age of 39 gave away all his money, altogether $50 millions to charities.

I had known numerous unsung heroes who live a simple, unglamourous life yet they are happy.

Contrary to what Mr Wang say, I do set specific goals, at this juncture of my life most of my wishes had came true.

The funny Xiaxue video

Look why she kept laughing:

Lee Hong Yi, the prime minister's son

Of course being a prime minister's son had privileges. Lee Hong Yi recent case, which he emailed to the top about an AWOL case, had garnered such widespread discussions. Because he is the prime minister's son, scholar and potential prime minister.

I served my National Service as a typist. I used to typed the charge sheets for numerous AWOL cases. Most of them never got so much attentions. Some of them were so serious that, it seems that they can forget about having ROD as they kept repeating their AWOLs and being detented again and again. After the detentions, they still got to continue to serve their remaining NS.

The less serious cases were usually put in the camp detention barrack and their hair cut 'botak'. The serious cases were sent to the Provost Unit. I had brought back some cases from the Provost Unit to my camp. These cases were usually hard core cases, to continue to serve their remaining NS.

On one instance I type the charge sheet of a very serious case, I typed until my hand ached. Because the person was charged with so many cases about 9 charges. Each of the charge I got to type 7 copies(6 were carbon copies).

A simple and cost effective idea to improve the performance and life span of your computer

To run your equipments optimally, you need to maintain it properly. Whether computers, hi fi or TV.

One of TV lasted a whopping 11 years, using this simple idea, I learnt from my years experiences from maintaining the machinery. I felt this piece of equipment give me the best value.

Mind you, my son watched it at least few hours per day, some time from morning till night, the picture quality is fantastic, after had I sprayed it with an electronic contact cleaner. It neutralised away all those foreign materials that stuck inside the electronic circuit board, which implede it performance. After running 11 years the TV technician said it was beyond repair, the juice already came out.

Shops that sells electrical equipments and usually have electronic contact cleaner.
The water vapour, air pollution, which settled on the printed circuit board caused it to rust and the performance to deteriorate, from the chemical reactions, and need to be neutralised.

You don't don't need to do it a lot of time, one or two times can do the job. You will see the difference. It will last longer and performance better.

8 years ago my wife bought an inexpensive VCR for my son to watch children materials, after few years of usage, I decided to spray it with an electronic contact cleaner. After the maintenance, Wow I discovered a substantial improvement in the quality of pictures it produced. My wife still use it as a spare for my younger son to watch the children programs. Normally low cost VCRs don't produce fantastic pictures

By using the electronic cleansing agent it can really improve the performance of the electronic equipment. It neutralised all those water vapour in the air that caused rust in the printed circuit board and the foreign materials e.g. dust that stick to it.

It is a simple, inexpensive yet a brilliant idea to maintain all your electronic equipments, even one or two times in your equipments life-span, can save you thousands of dollars and other opportunities costs. It is simple yet an effective way to improve the life span/performance of you electronic equipments.

The electronic contact cleaner, neutralise the negatives elements in the printed circuit boards like dust & rust, which caused by the water vapour in the air, thereby improve the electricity conductivity of the printed circuit board. As a result improve the performance of the equipments and extend its life spans.

How to do it:

Removed the cover, use a good brush to clear off all the foreign particles in the circuit board. Spray it with electronic contact cleaner, wait for it to dry. By following these tips, you will see astonishing results.

The principle is quite similar to bicycle problems. It need to spray the chemicals to neutralise all those negative substance that settle on it, and immediately see an improvement, etc rust which caused by oxidation by the air, the air pollution also affect it.

My years of tinkering with machinery and electronic equipments. I found these process the most cost effective way. It is simple don't lots of technical know how. It will give years of trouble-free usage of your electronic equipments.

An amusing statement

The funny part of this story, was when 'ang moh' sausage seller asked Lady TV compere did she want(to buy) his sausages. Few days ago while watching this TV show on (Searching the red ball contests), I came across this interesting part, which I found amusing.

The team who who find the most balls across Singapore is the winner of the contest.

TV compere was supposed to look for a red ball in Chinatown. Then she finally found the location.

It was inside an ang moh sausages stall at Chinatown. After some conversations ang moh sausages seller, ask lady TV compere does she want his sausages, Lady TV compere jokingly replied she want his ball too. Sausage man was surprised. Later TV compere clarified she is looking for the red ball in his stall in a TV contest. She seem like trying to crack a joke.

My most memorable cultural performance

Hope to share my experiences in the Cultural Shows. The South East Asia Games Grand Finale, was my most memorable cultural performance. Various time I was able to used my experience & trainings in my youth, to possibly change the outcome and enhanced the entertainment values of the cultural shows.

Since 1987, I had participated in altogether 25 various large scale cultural performances, like the Singapore National Day Parades, the Chingay Parades, the South East Asia Game & the Youth Peace Cultural Festivals etc.

The whole groups of people from different age and backgrounds working together for peace always intrigued me.

The final rushing into the stadium to perform always set my adrenalin pumping. The spectacular firework always fascinated me.

I used to do lots of somersaults and tried various difficult gymnastics moves in my primary school days, and in my secondary school days I was a member of the school gym group.

These experiences in my younger days, let me able to numerous times contribute and advice some of the younger & less experience trainers.

In 1997 Chingay Parades, I was able to used my experiences to last minute, to redo almost all the props and to maximise the entertain value. http://chingayparade.blogspot.com/

In the 1993 SEA Games Grand Finale our team were to put up 10 (4 layers human towers) together with other types of human towers and other group gym display items.

For a person to sat and stood up carrying a person on your shoulders was no easy task.

So for the years of my experience joining all these mass display item. I would sometimes share my experiences with the less experience trainers.

The top layer- one person, 2nd top layer 3 persons, sit and stand up carrying one person, third layer 5 persons sit and carry altogether 4 persons up, the bottom layer 8 persons, need the safety officers support and to push the buttocks of the third layer up, as the bottom lays carry altogether 9 persons on their shoulders and hold them until the show end.

After pushing the button of the third layer up, the safety officers were to hold the kneel caps of the third layers and straighten it and not to let it bend and shake.

Our tower eight was the first to put up, subsequently it kept felling down even during the Preview. After some members of our group, had left to join other groups. It was very frustrating as the tower kept falling down.

In this type of human pyramid. It's very much depend on the weight of the persons on top of the shoulders of the persons who carry him on their shoulders. Training can only do that much.

Frequently in my childhood days during the school recess and after the school end, we used to played carrying each other on top of our shoulders and moved around with it.

Through my experience I found that the lighter the persons the more easily, I am able to move around. The experience and training in my childhood days set me in good stead later, in helping various cultural performances.

Numerous times I used my experiences to directly or indirectly assisted the various Cultural performance trainings.

Because the trainer is very young, and with little experience. He got difficulties understand the problems.

Through my experiences I share my ideas after our tower fell down on the Preview.

Finally the top trainer came down and made a few changes, and in the Grand Finale of the South East Asian Games, all the towers were put up successfully.

The hilarious condom joke

On my sea ride from Hong Kong to Guangzhou on the hovercraft. There was a movie to encourage the use of condom when making love. It featured comedian Eric Tsang and Tien Niu making love. Eric Tsang was tipsy at that time. Tien Niu at first did not directly asked for a condom kept signalling Eric to get a bag in Cantonese, she thought Eric understand it.

It was a hilarious situation, Eric kept misintrepreted it and brought various types of bags to her. A last finally Tien Niu got to tell Eric directly to get a condom. It was so funny everybody kept laughing .

Moral of the story use condom when make love.

Singapore National Day Parade

Hope to share some of my ideas of putting up on how to put up a 5 layers human tower. Singapore NDP had not put up a five layer human tower since 1983. Through my involvement in the gym since my Primary School days and various 25 large scale cultural shows- They may want to adopt some of my ideas.

At a hotel in Xian China, they were struggling to put up a 3 layer human tower. I went forward and gave a notch and help to push a person's buttock up to help him to stand up, they were surprised by the move.




My suggestions on putting up a five layer human tower.

To put up the five layer tower, we need to solve the third layer first. The third layer is the most critical of all the layers. It need to climb up to the second layer shoulder, sit on it and stand up with the top two layer on top of their shoulder, that is four persons(top man & 3 second layer persons). With no assistance from the safety officer.

To train these three top layers first will solve most of the problems, first choose the lightest persons to put on the upper layers. They use to put only five persons on the third layer, which is not enough. The third layer got difficulty to stand up with five persons, with the equivalent of nearly a person on their shoulders and stand-up. I suggest increase to 6 persons.

These 6 persons or the third layer, should be given the most attentions. They should be the persons to train first in order to build their endurance and stamina. Ask them to go back home do so extra sit- up with weight training or put weight on their shoulder to train. These will solve the problem.

I used to find that they spend to much time training the bottom two layers, which doesn't matter so much. If overexert they usually at the later part of the training doesn't have much energy. So it defeat the purpose.

Because the safety officers can compensate their weakness and support them. To sit and stand up with a person on top of your shoulder, train a few times exert a tremendous amount of energy it can be very tiring.

Few of them are not regular. So sometimes they come, sometime they don't, make the training of the bottom 2 layers difficult. This could neutralise the effect of training.

To assist the 2nd bottom layer, two safety officers to support one bottom second layer person.
One person left and another right. One hand support the second layer person left buttock and another right kneel cap.

Then help to push his buttock up for him when he going to stand up, one hand to hold his knee cap, so to not to let it bend and another to hold heel, after he stand up to reduce the pressure on the shoulder of the bottom layer. If possible the safety officer body to stay as close as possible to the person he is supporting, so he can utilise his strength most and don't allow the second bottom layer sway too much which will affect the upper layers.

Usually the swaying/unbalance of the the persons in the sitting positions moving to the standing positions cause the fall of the towers due to the imbalance of some of them standing up, some slower some faster and the upper layer tilt to much to one direction( due to fatigue or not enough strength).

The safety officers play key role, he got to ensure all of the same layer move up at the same time. His one hand got hold the buttocks of the second bottom layer, so to absorb the pressure of the 3 upper layer on the legs of the second bottom layer, the equivalent of 10 person weight on the shoulders of the second bottom layer.

I saw some of the second bottom layer legs shake when they stand up, the safely officer got to help them to straighten and lock in their legs with another hand. The third layer must not worried about their lower part, so that they can concentrate on their upper part. The key role of the safety officer is to stabilise the second bottom layer.

Tips on how to improve and get the most from your cycling

Lots of people like to ride bicycles, many have difficulties in maintaining and bring out the best of their bicycle and cycling experiences. Some spend lots of money to reduce weight and get fit.

I use to ride hours at East Coast Park with only one leg. Below are the secrets of bring out the best of your bicycle:

You can enjoy your riding , improve your health and watching the beautiful scenery at the same time. Very soon you will not even know that you had been riding for hours because time past so fast.

This method is good for those who don't have the much discipline of regular exercise. And wish to stay healthy and fit.

A few factors affect the smooth running of a bike. At heart of the wheel, which the ball-bearings were support by two nuts from both sides, the nuts should not set too tight, if too tight the bike difficult to move, too loose the wheel wobble.

The ball-bearings needed to spray with the aerosol base chemical to neutralise the negative effects of foreign materials and deposits a thin film on the surface. It needed to be sprayed regularly because very soon rust and foreign particles will accumulate to retard the smooth running of the bike.

The rim the spokes from both sides need to be set so that when it turn, it won't till too much to one side and not wobbling.

And spreading of special lubricants on all the moving parts.

It's the same principles whether apply to cars or printing machines.

If done properly the machinery will run in tip top conditions, with the little energy.

To test the principles.

When a bicycle is not maintain for a certain periods of times. The wheels is much more difficult to move.

The bicycle repair shop will use a U- shaped device to check the alignment of the rim and use a small wrench to adjusted the tensions of spokes of rim, back to its shape and adjusts the nuts of the shafts of the wheel accordingly and lubricate it.

After that when he turn the wheels it seems like the wheel can turn perpetually with little effort. If the settings done at its best.

It runs much faster and longer.

That's why I can ride my economical bike with only one leg and without using his hands to hold the handlebar, long distances and navigate through obstacles just like a normal persons riding a bike normally. See photos of amazing bicycles feats, click recordbreaking feats.

It will be more safe to ride a bike if is well maintain as less energy need to ride it. I had spent most part of my life finding ways to maximise the the use and potential of machinery.

As India and China industrialise, there will huge demand on oil.

With Singapore targeted population of 6.5 millions and 17 millions tourists. These will put more pressure on the demand for space, oil, transport & the environment etc.

More innovations and creatives ideas is need to cope up with the changes.

Hope that more people use bicycles as their mode of transport, because of today rising oil price, it's good to the health and environmental friendly.

What's your feedback?

Humorous comment by Kenny Sia

While browsing the internet, chanced upon these very humorous comments by Kenny Sia, Quote:

(Travelling by taxis in Indonesia can be quite risky. At the advice of kennysia.com readers, I was told only to travel in those blue "Blue Bird" taxis in Jakarta.

Terrible name. If this were in Kuching, no chance in hell is a taxi called "Blue Bird" is ever gonna last long.

I mean seriously, not a lot of Kuching folks would feel comfortable sitting in some Lam Jiao taxi right!?

"Blue Bird" may be a horrible name for a taxi, but they are the only one with a good safety record around here.

They are so good that some of their competitors had even painted their vehicles blue to confuse people.

Yea, nowadays you can even get pirated Lam Jiao taxis.)

Happy hours @ People Association

I had many interesting and memorable times at the PA.

They used to organise a wide varieties of interesting activities for singles each month. I always look forward for the new Channel Magazine they sent me each month, which listed almost all the interesting activities all over Singapore to stay connected.


You name it they had it. Whether you want to go travelling, discos, camping, karaoke, tea dance, cooking, ice skating, learn some new things & dancing classes they have it. We are able to join the community clubs in different parts of Singapore.

Some of my most memorable and happiest activities were my two days trip to the Batam kelong.The sunrise, sunset, the moon in the middle of the open sea, spicy fresh sea foods made one of my most memorable trip.

Usually the dancing classes were fully booked. No wonder the ladies are such good dancers. On one occasion when I received the channel, straight away I sent my check to PA for the intermediate class, it was rejected because it was already fully booked. It was so popular it was fully booked even before it was open to the public.

Every Saturday there was usually a disco program at a hotel in Orchard Road at a favorable price for PA to practice our steps. Sometimes I went down. At one instances, when I invited a lady to dance.

Wow! That was a fantastic experience of my life, the lady dancer was better than me in dancing. You might thought as a man I had no problem in throwing her around, but the opposite was true.

She would throw me round and round, we were dancing one hour plus non-stop, my whole body were sweating so profusely. Obviously the lady was very experience at dancing.

My shirt was wet with my sweat, the edge were coming out, some parts where torn, trying to catch up with her and the disco tempo were so fast I couldn't even had the time to think of my next step. She kept throwing me, I kept following.

It was one of the most vigorous activities of my life. The encounter with the lady dancer was so dramatic and hectic. I was frequently grasping for air, lost a shirt button, but fortunately not my pants.

When I reach home after some time my whole body and bones were aching from the unexpected workout.

Some of the more interesting activities was an outing at the Pasir Ris resorts. It was an overnight affair. We would chit-chat with the ladies till the wee hours and adjourned to the nearby beach at Changi to continue our conversations watching the beautiful sea.

There were a combination of karaoke, disco and swimming at the resort. The sound system were blasting out songs near the swimming pool. With whole loads of fun and activities.

At one outing in St John islands, we got to build the camps ourselves, and participated in lots of games.

Unfortunately PA cut us off when we were married. I think we should be continue to be able to participate, because there is such a wide varieties of activities for us to choose which they were able to put together in a single magazine for us to choose to enjoy and socialise.

Because PA had such a huge contact with lots of organisations, so organising lots of different activities is not a problem.

It's difficult to find in other areas. Not all them went there to look for partners, they joined it because some of their activities are interesting to them. I felt that some ladies came here more were interested in the activities than finding a partner.

The People Association put together such wide varieties of activities it like, at least one or two programs, that are interesting and to learn something each month.

If at that time blogging were invented, it will be more interesting, after the activities we still be able to stay connected and know more about each other better through blogging.
