Just installed a new system 3 Eco Inverter Sharp room air conditioners to all my 3 bedrooms yesterday. It was actually a replacement of my old air conditioner which we had for the last 11 years. The old set was still functioning well as I serviced it regularly but it's time to change.
We paid about $3,500 for the 3 room air conditioners which include 5 servicing and an extended warranty.
Naturally the new air conditioners are quieter than the old ones. As for the living room, we changed the old Sanyo air conditioner which we had for 5 years to a new Daikin set 2 years ago for about $2,300.
Today, I woke up at about 8:30am, anxiously waiting for the Singapore stock market to open (opens at 9 am on weekdays). The Dow Jones was down last night by a hefty 312 points to 16001. The Dow has been declining from a high off 18,000 a few months ago. The performance of the Dow would inevitably affect the Singapore market. The STI or Straits Times Index has been dropping too.
Reason why I mentioned about the Dow and the STI is because I do trade shares online.
The STI dropped 40+ points right from the opening and it didn't improve until about the closing time (5pm) to a mere 3.98 points. STI now stands at 2787.94 to the relief of many traders.
The stocks that I trade are also affect by the steady decline of the STI over the last 2 months.
I went to Saizeriya for lunch despite of the horrible haze . It was a set lunch of meat with a fried egg plus rice. The meal came with salad and free flow of hot/cold beverages.
The haze is in the very unhealthy range of 230 PSI (as at 6pm). We didn't have much of a choice but to switch on our air conditioning for the whole flat.
Due to the haze situation, we decided to eat at home. The dinner was a simple Japanese meal known as "Nabe" or "One pot dishes". We boiled vegetables together with sliced beef (sabu sabu beef),tofu, potatoes etc. We ate the food with Japanese sauces. It was a simple,healthy and yummy dinner (pictures below).

I am your fan and waiting eagerly for your stories lol!
Relax cos u may be disappointed with my stories hehe..
Hee, be greedy when others are fearful. I'll buy some good stocks when price drop further. I think it might drop further in Oct or Dec when USA increase interest rate or China devalue Yuan again. Looking to buy reits for dividends. Keppel corp also not bad leh from $11 to $6++. If drop to $5++ then I add more.
Jacky u are lucky not to have gotten in when the prices were high. Ya now is a good
time to pick up good value stocks. Good luck!
I've been waiting to buy at good price so been monitoring the price lah. Thus I don't really like so called experts on averaging the price which is expensive what with all those transaction cost. Must wait for good price then can enjoy good dividend. Don't worry lah Uncle Boh Tong, my gut feel is Nobel will go up to $0.60. I also brought some at $0.455. I dreamed Keppel corp drop to $6.90 and it really drop. The number just flashed in my dream. So now better monitor and wait first. Oct and Dec might reach lower price.
Jacky U have been patient and it will pay "dividends". I hope U are right about NOBLE la.
