SingPost Still Going Upwards

My last update on SingPost if anyone is interested. Currently SingPost is trading at S$1.215, I can choose to sell at S$1.21 and take a profit of S$273.01. By the way, it's currently trading with dividend until 6 Feb. The question is, how high can the price go? Let's look at the following table: Date Target Price Call Source 28 Jan 2013 1.23 HOLD OCBC 28 Jan 2013 1.21 HOLD Maybank Kim Eng 28 Jan 2013 1.14 HOLD DBS Vickers Now who should I believe? Actually I think SingPost can go above S$1.22 no problem, even after dividend, it will probably stay around S$1.2x or more, it's a good place to park money. And STI seems to be a bit high, some people are expecting a correction to come soon, but then again, it's hard to say, the US economy seems to be quite stable for now as they have avoided the fiscal cliff by pushing the deadline to March plus they have unlimited borrowing until 19 May. So from

Path of Exile (PoE) Open Beta

I downloaded this game yesterday and played for a few hours, this game reminds me of Diablo 2 (D2), the dark and evil feeling, the map looks like D2 map, but especially the many different kinds of build that I can possibly try out, just look at the skill tree , ahem, skill FOREST to exact. I'm playing a summoner witch, now at level 9 and having fun so far, still thinking of how I'm going to play it out, there's just so many possibilities, I can choose between having more health or more energy shield because some items provide a boost to energy shield, and I'm thinking of whether to go full summoning or a balance between damage dealing and summons. Then they have this skill gem system, instead of learning skills or getting it through level-ups, you get your skills through gems from drops or questing rewards, I'm not sure of other ways but I got a skill gem off a monster that I killed, and a couple more through questing. There's also support gems that modify y

SingPost Hits S$1.20

As mentioned in my earlier post , I had expected the price to go above S$1.20 when it is trading CD, but today, the stock is already trading at S$1.20, and it seems like the buying volume is still increasing, I think probably before it even go CD, the price would have gone over S$1.20. If I sell now at S$1.195, I would have a slightly higher profit of S$198.04, tempting, but I wouldn't know what to buy next if I sell now because it seems like the other counters that I'm looking at are all at quite a high price, plus there is still potential for growth. Actually SingPost is a decent 5%+ dividend stock if one wishes to hold for a long time, even if buying at S$1.20 per share, it's still a 5.09% yield, not bad at all.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
