Raining Cats and Dogs
It has been raining cats and dogs the past few days. Not a day passed when there's no rain. My fish pond is filled to the brim. My fountain overflowed one day while the swimming pool almost did. Very funny these days as at this time of the year, it used to be the North east Monsoon, meaning non stop rain in Kelantan, Trengganu and Pahang. However, these days the rain does not follow the rules anymore. If it wants to rain, it will rain. No matter if it is the North East Monsoon or the South West Monsoon or January or December or whatever!
The World is going down, down and down!
Another big drop for Dow Jones. Almost 700 points! Wow! At this rate, the index will hit zero soon. Nikkei had another bad day, dropping almost 10 %. Similar with Hang Seng! In Russia and Indonesia, the markets were suspended altogether cause if it open, the sell off will see no end! Europe is struggling to keep their banks afloat. The Middle East, with all the oil money, is also feeling the heat.
There's no place to hide. This is the worst financial crisis I have seen in my life! Terrible.
Making Ends Meet after Raya
It is always the same. Budgeted a certain amount but end up spending very very much much more. At the end of the day, I will have problem making ends meet. But then, there's not much I can do. There's always things to buy that somehow didn't appear initially in the budget. Sometimes they just sort of get out of control. In the end, I just say to myslef, spend, spend, spend, spend and spend. Let me do the damage control after Raya.
