HaPpy NeW yEaR!

Brought to you by Nosnim, Boey, Fei Chai

As the year of 2008 comes to an end,
2009 is promised to be filled with
challenges and surprises.

So let this year be a difference by:
Making a difference, Stand out and shine!

2008 has ended as of once it
passed midnight on 31st December 2008.
Every legacy we made during 2008,
When it comes to 2009, that legacy is washed away,
That is why I am coming back tomorrow,
to start anew.

Awaken

Awaken:

My heart once lost,
but, now awaken,
For You are the reason,
To know You are looking back,
Stops my heart from sleeping.

My heart now sings a new song,
For You are with us,
Through Your eyes,
our shames are gone,
Our hearts now awaken.

Cafe Cafe

Tried out this place called Cafe Cafe.
Went there with Suyi recently.
BTW..she is back!!!
Whee!!!

Back to Cafe Cafe:

Concept:
It has a very Victorian feeling to the house
with the style decorated
with alot of ornamentation like old piano sets,
furniture and mirrors
to enhance the size of the restaurant.

In addition,
It was filled with dark woods, cameos
and nice scenic lighted backgrounds.
This brings out a very classical and old grand room.

It shows a sense of character
and individualism in their concept
of the restaurant.

Food:
French and European fine dining.
Got nice tiramisu and creme bulee
Escargot is RECOMMENDED!
Din get to try though :(

Price:
Pricey! But worth every dollar paid.


Pics of the week:

Thats her! <3

Happy hols yo!

My back hurts! I need rest i guess?


Madoff Scam

I have recently been following alot on the automotive industry in US and recently picked up on the Madoff fraud by conducting on ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is like those skim cepat kaya whereby you invest a certain amount and your returns (almost double digit percentage) would be very substantial compared to other investment schemes such as hedge funds or govt securities. From the amount you invest, the amount will be pooled up with other investors putting their money in also.

What is the Madoff scam you may ask?

Bernard Madoff financier who allegedly ran a $50 billion Ponzi scheme by using cash from new investors to pay off older ones amounting to $50 billion. This form of investment trickery was made known and was revealed when Madoff no longer had the ability to generate the cash to cover the $50billion.

Resulting:
Hedge funds are heavily affected along with many wealthy private investors due to all teh risk exposure from the Madoff's investment pool. Philanthropies, charitable organisations are also affected due to the certain individuals who are affected.

The Madoff scam was another hit to the current financial crisis affecting mainly the World Stock Markets causing the fall in global stock index such as the US Dow Jones, Brazil's Ibovespa.

This could also mark the end of the hedge fund industry. Among the few victims of the Madoff scam would involve alot of international securities companies such as Japan's Nomura Holdings lossing up to $306 million, French bank BNP Paribas risk exposure up to $470 million in losses and Spain's Grupo Santander SA.

What will happen to Madoff?
For now, the Courts are in seized of his assets by freezing all liquidated assets to prevent him from accessing them.
