The Saddest TV Commercial Ever: Silence of Love (English Subtitle)
One of the reasons that I am making a transition to JB is because I want to "care for those who care for me". Dear friends, do not wait till it is too late to show your loved ones the care that you keep in your heart.
Buy a house, and buy the Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA). Cheaper than the life insurance premiums in the market and you'd be prepared for the inevitable. Well, this is my personal take on this matter. :)
I'm not sure if this is the source of inspiration for bro WuQi's choice of music on his blog, but I really think that Thai Insurance produces the most meaningful and heartfelt ads ever. The other consortium would be Petronas. Well, that would be another story for another day...
Well, a personal note to the father of "Living In JB" thread. Thank you for paving and making the way known to us...

Greater interest in gold investment options as gold prices hit record highs

SINGAPORE: As international gold prices hit record highs, some banks said there is greater appetite from local investors purchasing gold investment products.
Analysts predict gold prices could go as high as US$2,500 an ounce, compared to US$1,400 at the beginning of the year.
According to United Overseas Bank (UOB), more people are enquiring about and purchasing gold investment products, such as gold bars and coins. The bank has seen a 20 per cent increase in gold coin purchases compared to earlier this year.
Citybank said interest in gold investment accounts and gold-related funds has also doubled since last year.
According to the World Gold Council, the Asian appetite for gold is strong.
Analysts said demand for gold was fairly weak in the 1990s, but it has become an increasingly popular investment option in the last few years.
The sustained interest in gold as an investment option has also led to its prices being more sensitive to market movements.
Vasu Menon, Head of Content & Research with OCBC Wealth Management, said: "In the short term, its hard to make predictions where gold is headed. Gold is a very volatile asset class. Investors who want to buy gold must remember that number one, they must have the appetite for risk."
