hi choohian,
play mahjong dun play money lor, then not gambling, but rather it keeps the brain active.
I read that its proven there is an increase in neuro-activity when a person is playing mahjong, so there must be some scientific truth to this. After all, we read widely that it is recommended for dementia. (erm, not that i am saying you have ok?)
Just thought i use this lull period to stir the thread abit
iPunter, I shall ask my husband about the relic tooth.
elf, Thanks for taking the trouble to explain to me. I'm not very good at words and I'm deeply touched by your concern. As I have mentioned, I am not rich but I am so much better off than a lot more ppl. I try to be careful and not to be too greedy.Any investment is only to give me some added security, also to keep my mind working. I don't like other forms of gambling - e.g. mahjong. Nowadays I spend time with the SJ, enjoy reading the posts.

try the above to destress. i think it works.
hullo choohian,
yep, spc is a defensive stock and a dividend play. so not really the stock for a trader, since by value per dollar invested, it isn't worth, esp now. if you're looking long term as FA tho, then yes. it's a good stock to hold. even if there's no capital upside, the divvie year on year already will be more than good.
having said that tho, some of the reits could prob equal in divvie yield or exceed SPC. but they're dif industries. so always good to hold a range.
that's the basis of a defensive portfolio.
act if you read my post carefully, what cks says is nothing different from mine. my 1st pt was SHORT TERM. he's lkg mid to long term. Oil, like i said, if they strike it, it's gold. that's a chance no one knows.
so yea. gotta decide by your own personality first perhaps? what do you want from your stocks? if it's fast returns, then no, not SPC. if you want long term, then yes, SPC is a good one to hold. prob not enter yet tho. a bit too high. techs show signs of peaking. ard $5 or less would be good. but follow trend and see; don't set fixed targets. those are false things.
good luck anyhow! elfie can't be bothered to argue protractedly on the merits of a stock or not. haha. elf's a realist. ie, the market proves the final point. keke.
ok, just home from night out; gonna go zzz. hopefully can wake up early tmrw for work.
nights all.
Dear Geojam & Eastonbay,
In my last africa trip, there was a spa in the hotel where I stayed besides lake Bogoria... below are two pics of my fellow companion at the pool.. ..
so I did not use the spa.... even though it was free... btw I must say nearby the spa are really natural 
hot spring and then there are other users like
and 
so like a good soldier I march away..
and watched from a distance
Wow...
talking of Buddhism... I just love it...
But I have a perplexing question, though...
Why is the relic tooth (fo ya) of the Buddha so big in size?
Hope to get an answer to this.
My husband, a buddhist collected two bottles of "holy water" from the temples he visited on Vesak Day. I believe they will be around until next Vesak Day - untouched, unsprinkled, Ha ha ha.
Spa relaxation seems expensive in spore?Here we pay A$750 a year which entitle u to spa,suana and gym facilities.No joining fees.
Chinkiasu...
Quite a basket you have... :)
Choohian...
I don't need any holy water from you...
But I remember I once bought a phial of holy water from the River Jordan when I travelled to the Holy Land. Been there, done it.
dear Ipunter sir... varies with situation... at the moment SPC, Global Voice.. dabbling in GKE, Fibrechem.Semb Corp. and sprinkling Contel, UIC etc.. btw no GemTv
what's yours?
Hi sporegal
No..i have not drive around australia in caravan.But yes...to the outer regions esp.when friends or in laws come to visit me.
Maybe we can go on caravan trip when u visit me...sometime?
chinkiasu, so, I shall watch the counter then. I like to hold long, long time one, same with St Engg., Jardin CC. Thanks for your vote of confidence in this counter.
hi iPunter, Thanks I got it and I have saved it as I did with www.tropicalglen.com. Bless you, ( sorry, no holy water to sprinkle on you. Maybe, next time.
Chinkiasu... :)
Which counter are you heaviest into?
Hi Singaporegal... welcome back... trust you have a good tan... good thing you come back soon, the stock market looks like "correcting" ke ke .....re spa - perhaps you could try the one in Paragon - Andana Spa... http://www.andanaspa.com/
hi Ipunter, just got into the singlish site.. it works...
hi ChooHian.. so this is the reason why 1402 did not translate for you... it depends on your situation & risk tolerance...
I am very much vested in SPC because I consider it a defensive stock... if there is a market correction, I think SPC will not go down much.. meanwhile i can collect divvy...almost like putting your money in the bank... but for someone who is out for a quick return it may not be the stock for them... however having said that I am also hoping that with Keppel Corp as the parent and majority shareholder there is leverage for growth e.g in Vietnam etc... besides the management is solid and they are technically very competent.. there is good opportunity for capital gain too if they strike oil...
