The Yesteryears Great Songs from Great Dramas

These are "highly recommended" TVB dramas. Although I have forgotten the storyline of the first drama starring wang ze liang, the song nevertheless reminds me of some priceless moments during my school time. The second drama is, in my opinion, the best drama since the beginning of the 20th century, and one of the best in the history of TVB drama. You can learn a lot from the drama. Again, highly recommended for everyone!

Enjoy!!

The Bear Market Ain't Over Yet

World stocks plummet as auto sector reels

Mon Mar 30, 5:26 am ET

LONDON (AFP) – European and Asian stock markets dived on Monday as fresh woes for the global auto sector and extremely weak economic data triggered a rush to dump shares, traders said.

Tokyo closed down 4.53 percent as bad industrial and auto production data fed the gloomy economic outlook and traders rushed to lock in profits made last week, they added.

US automaker General Motors must undergo a "substantially more aggressive restructuring" if it is to have a long-term future, the White House said Monday in a tough review.

Publication of the report followed news that GM chief executive Rick Wagoner has resigned.
On Sunday, Peugeot said it had removed its chief executive Christian Streiff as France's biggest carmaker struggles with the effects of the international economic crisis.

"One thing is for sure... no-one should expect quick fixes to the current economic malaise," said analyst Dermot O'Leary at Goodbody Stockbrokers.

Ahead for investors this week are the G20 summit on the financial crisis and the ECB's latest rate decision, both due Thursday, while Friday sees the release of key US jobs data.

In early European trade Monday, London dropped 2.30 percent, Frankfurt dived 3.49 percent, Paris slumped 2.89 percent, Madrid shed 3.26 percent and Zurich declined 2.47 percent.

"As the week progresses, the hope that we'll see headway from the G20, rather than simply rhetoric, could offer some support," said CMC Markets dealer Matt Buckland.

US President Barack Obama has rejected suggestions of a split with Europe on how to tackle the global financial crisis when leaders of the Group of 20 rich and emerging economies meet in London.

"The most important task for all of us is to deliver a strong message of unity in the face of crisis," he told the Financial Times newspaper.

Ahead of the summit, stocks tumbled across Asia on Monday. Hong Kong share prices closed 4.70 percent lower, Seoul slumped 3.24 percent, Taipei dived 3.43 percent and Sydney gave up 1.85 percent.

"Today's fall was widely expected," Taiwan International Securities analyst Arch Shih said of Taipei's slide. "The market had scored substantial gains recently. It was time for a correction."

US shares had swung lower Friday on profit taking after a series of strong gains, as investors reassessed the outlook for recovery from the recession gripping the world's largest economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 1.87 percent. The Nasdaq composite fell 2.63 percent and the broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 2.03 percent.

Ahead of Wall Street's reopening Monday, a task force set up by President Barack Obama found GM's plan to shake-up its ailing business and qualify for more government loans "is not viable and will need to be restructured substantially."

Simply Warren Buffett

Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.
- Turnaround rarely works.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

- Experience and Knowledge are what counts in investing.

The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.
- Its the future that matters.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

- Learn how to understand and benefit from human behaviors. Why people tends to follow the herd? Why human ignores history? Why human are so greedy? Tell me why!

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
-When opportunity knocks, grab it tightly with both hands and legs.

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

-Be selective, do what you do best, and focus on what you know.

Why Malaysian Football So Hopeless??

Being a footballer myself, I think I should be able to give some comments on the topic. Why Malaysian football so hopeless?

Every player on the field, excluding the goalkeeper, is so eager to become the next Eric Cantona (or Messi - the new legend).

See here for example:

I dont understand why the defenders tend to play like strikers, though their main job is to defend. And once silly mistake happens, the defender will give "free ball" to the opponent and a big opportunity to score. Well, I (with fellow Malaysians) sometimes play football with the African people. Once, I heard one of them remarked "You are so sellfish" to a Malaysian player. I cannot tahan and burst out laughing.

One-man show is not the way to play football. We need to play as a team, pass the ball around, dont hold it for too long (unless if you want to imitate Eric Cantona and dribbles all the way to the opponent's goal - and do it quickly) and remember our fellow African friend's comment. See the way Brazil or Barcelona or Man U plays.
