Annual General Meetings

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
