Having an extra $1,200 a year!

I like plain white porridge with a bit of ikan bilis for dinner regularly. Last night, for some reason, I was not feeling hungry and, so, the porridge was stored in the fridge.

Today, I brought the porridge and ikan bilis to work. Sprinkle the ikan bilis on the porridge and voila:

For tea later, I will be having my regular oatmeal which is what I usually have for lunch. I have taken to adding soya bean milk to my oatmeal these days to get some extra protein and good taste.

Healthy and money saving meals.

If you have not tried bringing home cooked food to work, maybe you want to consider it. Depending on where you work, you could save up to $10 a day on meals! Just bringing your own food to work half the time could mean saving $100 a month on meals or $1,200 a year.

An extra $1,200 a year in your bank account? Very nice!

Asian Pay Television Trust (APTT): 201 lots.

Asian Pay Television Trust (APTT) was my first IPO application in donkey years. So, you can imagine I was somewhat excited.

When I heard that people who applied for 100 to 499 lots would get 80 lots if successful, I was even more excited! I applied for 201 lots!

Apparently, only 7 out of every 50 applicants were successful for the range of 100 to 499 lots. Chances were slim and chances were even slimmer for people who applied for 99 lots or less.

Chances improved markedly for those who applied for 500 to 999 lots. 33 out of every 50 applicants were successful and they would get 374 lots each! Wow!

This was an IPO that favoured the bigger players, it would seem. Be ready to either make a big killing tomorrow or be killed big time. I think the former is more likely.

Congratulations to all successful applicants!
