Counting down to UK

I'm counting down 10 days to my first trip to the UK, for pleasure and for business (school in this case). News from my cousin that the chaos and riot had subsided and life was back to normal right now in the UK. People are continuing their famous daily crossing of Abbey Road.

September will be the month of great touring of London, great mind stressing studies and Cranfield University and relaxing dive holiday at Redang towards the end of the month. After a long long period of no school and lots of fats accumulation, drama watching and day dreaming.... I am finally been kicked back into high tempo mode of studies in September.

Its a interesting feeling. In the past, I always though I never had enough time. When I started my part time degree course, I always had no free time. When I took such long break (June to September) I had too much time on hand and started reading the stock market and learning economics. So the fact is, time is up to an individual to grow or consume.... its all time management.

The stock market had been a series of volatile up and down nowadays. Had been dabbling my hands in a couple of good Shares but had not been too aggressive in fear of burning my hands. Over all, it had not been a really profitable venture so far but from the months of observation, unless its the end of the world (or a company), with good time horizon (time management again), share price usually ride the waves of market sentiments and emotion to reveal the time to Buy and the time to Sell.

Had been reading a lecture by Andrew Sheng . In the Theory of Wealth and Finance - The growth of economy in a macro level or business in a micro level is a combination of Physical Technology + Social Technology + Business Design. Go through your thought processes and you find that the success in this 3 aspect is what makes Apple Inc so profitable today. Same should goes for other great Companies out there.
