Money
Lots of people approached me to do some charity work or make some financial contributions. Quite simply put, the social organisations here need a lot of help. I have already committed myself to buying some furniture for a primary schools. I thought of buying some whiteboards for the kids also but hey, I got to draw a line somewhere. Someone also approached me to help the drug rehabilitation centre which apparently is in bad shape due to lack of funds. It is tough since it is a financial drain on me (I ain't exactly made of dollar bills) but also takes up a lot of my time to look at the proposals and visit all these places to see whether their requests are genuine.
Speaking of money, I have been losing money in almost all my unit trust investments with OCBC. This is such BS. It lost 10% of its value in just three months. How did this happen? I thought everyone has been making money on the market? This convinces me that I should have invested on my own by doing my homework and reading up the prospectus first. I think I lost 2k + already. I should have just use the 2k to just donate to charity and buy books and chalkboards for the poor. Shows you that bank agents are almost as clueless as me when it comes to playing the market.
On a brighter note, I was in a golf tournament over the weekend and I won a prize. Still not happy about it because my overall game was shit. Not shit as in "bad", but like really "tragic". I have half a mind to sell all my golf clubs away. Anyway, a prize isn't bad. It was a lucky shot at hole 16 using my trusty rescue club. Less than 3 metres away from an outright hole-in-one.
Now, I have this Singaporean golfmate which is a bit odd. He is a businessman here and he just asked me to lend him 50k at 6% interest to rent a business. I find it odd because he claimed earlier to have half a million in investments elsewhere. Furthermore, he is a known POSB squirrel (aka a saver). He scrimps on his meals and drives one of the most beatup pickup I have ever seen. He spends his last eight years in Laos eating S$1 meal for lunch everyday and scrimps on everything. So why is it, he has to borrow 50k from people?
You see, this man may have been saving so much money by scrimping on necessities like food but he ended up buying Cartier and LV for his Lao-Vietnamese girlfriend. I really don't get it. Maybe I am not that romantic kind of person but it seems to me that it is terrible that you are willing to forego every luxury (and even food) in order to splurge on expensive stuff on your girlfriend. In fact, he just bought a 32 inch flatscreen TV for her. And I met his girlfriend and honestly, she has the "gold-digger" aura radiating from her. We are talking about at least Level 7 Gold Digger Class B+ with at least 9000 points in mana level. Possibly a Drow Spider handmaiden (pardon the nerd speak).
Seriously, she always wears all kind of branded stuff like prada and some shit Italian brand. She also asks for Mont Blanc pens. Mont Blanc pens? Not even I could afford Mont Blanc pens. And she always want to eat expensive stuff like tiramisu at L'Opera (the most expensive western restaurant in town and a place I like to boycott simply because of the prices). A tiramisu at L'Opera costs US$4 and although this may sound cheap in relation to S'pore prices, it is exorbitant by Lao standard and trusts me, it all adds up. I don't understand how a Lao lady could develop such expensive tastes for food and clothings. This is terrible. The last time I hear, he is buying a car for her. Holy shit. But you got to give it to the girl. One thing I learn from around here is that most girls will do anything to get out of poverty and I can't say I blame her.
I don't know how to tell him that his girlfriend sucks. I don't think she likes me either because she always give me the BLACK EYE everytime we meet for meals. I think she is trying to cast the death gaze spell on me but thankfully I am almost immune to all gaze and poison attacks. I think she knows that I think she is a gold digger. Like those old Atari games called "digger" where the digger just runs around and tries to eat as much diamond and minerals as possible before the time is up or it is caught by a ghost (Ooh, I like those games). Every golf game, this Singaporean guy complained about his girlfriend for being a "money blackhole" but still faithfully goes to Thailand after the game to buy some new branded shit for her. It is as if he is a masochist and enjoys the pain or something.

Walou! I got to take up courses from her mah... how to be a professional gold digger.
Honestly, when men fall in love, they become really stupid.
Maybe that is why most men don't and they only care for good sex.
She isn't really pretty. She is just fair and petite and wear padded bras (i think).
I heard of another gold digger from China. She is amazing-- first, she cause the divorce of a couple. Then the man went bankrupt cause of her. Finally, he resorted to borrowing money so that he can fly to China to meet her. There are also some mention about buying a house in China for her. I can't understand singapore man sometimes.
Help Save Your Loved One's Life When a loved one does not seem to want help or even realize that he/she has a problem with alcohol or drugs, it can be very discouraging. Attempting to convince the person into treatment on your own may be overwhelming, ineffective and even dangerous. That is why many originations provide professional intervention services at Synergy Treatment. Using a tone of care and concern, I think this special intervention technique can get your loved one out of the dark and into recovery. we help our loved ones from drug rehabilitation
