1) The indian colleague who had accident in India can only (probably) be back at work in august. Serious damage we are talking about here!

2) Getting back to my running schedule. So far so good. Maybe a full marathon some time this year isn't unachievable. I just feel like trying out something different. My mind has been running wild these days. The weirdest idea i have is to hold a snake and take a picture with it. Don't ask me why. And not to forget a skydiving trip that i have always wanted to do but got no balls for it.

3) Picking up forex. The sole reason for this is because pound sterling is so hard-beaten right now and may worth a buy. Nonetheless, the rate/chart of forex is a bit overwhelming so it may take a while to figure out stuff. Only then I can decide to delve in, or not. No harm learning a new thing anyway.

4) Stock market is so upbeat. All the finance/banking stocks are looking good. Go Citi, go LYG. Loaded some AAPL just for the heck of it since its earning reports is due and Ipad is selling like hot cakes. Admittedly Ipad is very sexy but I shall resist it, because I am a cheapskate:) Seriously apple products are so overpriced but the one thing I don't agree with is that the profit it rakes in wasn't fairly shared among the companies that produce them. Apple, being an asshole corporate that sits on top of the food chain, eats up a large chunk of the profit pie and leaves the tiny bit of bread crumbs for the manufacturing contractors/part suppliers like Foxconn and Samsung. Read more about how Apple treating, or shall I say commanding, Foxconn and you know what I mean. Oh well, despite all the ranting, please pretty please AAPL, show me some blow-away earning!
