Oh well, I guess I shall be a year older.  Find a girl and get married? It was quite a traumatic experience as far as work is concerned.  But anyway, I just wanted to prove that I can get a job if I am willing.  Interesting, the wages wasn't too bad, pretty close to what I.T. professionals are paid these days. I have to learn how to survive without a job, i.e. without paid employment.  Basically, this is a poverty trap within the capitalist globalization system.  We can save some grief by working just enough to pay the bills and the balance will come from elsewhere. Hoped to get a few more paintings done this year - I should have more time

It is well into the middle of this year now.  How fast time flies. It is probably time for "Mass Exodus" into Australia, like the rest. It has been an exciting front on ASX at the first quarter of the year.  Mining Boom.  The 3rd wave may come again 2nd half of the year.  It will happen!

The Year of the Dog will provide opportunities on investments. The dog is faithful and hunts by nature, which is good for a change after the past celestial animals: Year of the RAM 2003(associated with world wars), Year of the Monkey 2004(wreaks havoc in Heaven) and the Year of the Rooster 2005(cocky and quarrelsome). Mining and Energy stocks on global stockmarkets, especially the darling for the past 3 years, Australian Stock Exchange will still provide appreciable returns on selected mineral stocks. Wishing all a good year ahead!
