Watched Superbowl XLIV between Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints last sunday at a friend place. What do those roman numerals actually translate to?:) There's no more Steelers this time, which means less sensation. I didn't even care who are the playing teams, let alone the cheering and supporting. It's still fun to watch, especially with HD programming. Is HD already available in Malaysia?

Filed my 2009 taxes. Got 1200 refund from federal but I need to pay 200+ back to CA state. Tax calculation is always a mystery to me. All I do is to key in bunch of numbers into TurboTax software and hope the refund amount magically turns positive. Good news is that, apart from ESPP, I actually made some 5k from side trading in 2009, which is not bad at all. Short-term gain however incurs high tax rate, I have some capital losses carried over from 2008 to slightly offset the amount of tax I need to pay. Hmm, maybe I should open an foreign trading account in Malaysia to save on taxes.
