recently I am suffering from persistent backache that is rather dull. It feels like I have forgotten to stretch myself before a game -- resulting in that kind of "pulling" feeling.

I tried to recall if I'd fallen or got picked hard during my basketball game but to no avail.
Then my health freak mom told me that it probably is sciatica or sciatic nerve pain, and it seems that all I have to do (short of seeing a doctor for a MRI) is to wait it out and try to stretch my lower back muscles.. in 3 months it should go away.. we shall see.



Dip on the global markets due to massive bad news everywhere. I don't even think there is an investment region in the developed world that is actually stable right now. Sitting on a -11% of my portfolio .. shuffled some stuff and decided to wait it out.

Dividend portfolio coming to some fruition, my monthly dividend for this year has exceeded $100 per month.

Baby steps :)

So I have been looking at watches these days and decided to get myself an Orient Bambino. It looks classy and has a nice combination of colors in the blue metallic hands against cream dial. At $200+ it was a little bit steep but considering that I was buying a watch for the first time, I would prefer a brick and mortar retailer than ebay.

She disappointed me for the last time. I told her this is it, and I wouldn't be stooping so low when being treated this way. Gave her a deadline and if she's not picking up her stuff I gonna toss it all away or maybe donate it to the RedCross.

Work got a little bit busier, due to several changes in the scope of work and new portfolio. I have to liaise with overseas speakers and that will often take up more time than expected. Because of that, sometimes I feel so drained by the end of the day that I skipped gym. Bad idea. cause' it had an effect on my right knee and I went noticeably less explosive and my shooting form was very affected.

Time for a hiatus and train up !
