This entry will be dedicated to coins.
I didn’t get as many coins as I would like. I only purchased three. All of them goes under the Malaya theme.
I actually wanted to also get some Roman and other earlier coins. Oh well, maybe next time.
Ok, here are the pictures.

As promised, here are some of the items I purchased from the ANDA Coin, Note & Stamp Show.
This entry will be dedicated to stamps.
First up, the word’s first adhesive postage stamp called the Penny Black. It was issued on the 1st of May 1840. So, that makes the stamp about 168 years old! I’ve been wanting to get the Penny Black for so long now and finally, I own one. Nice piece eh?

One thing about me is that I like to collect things. I’m not a hoarder though. Hehe. Some of my collections are stamps, coins and banknotes (collection still in its infancy), Hot Wheels cars (also in its infancy), books, and 1:500 scale diecast model aircrafts.
In this post however, I’ll dedicate to my Thomas and Friends collection. This collection was started pretty recently after a birthday present by my other half. I now have about a few Thomas and Friends set, which I intend to assemble all together, once I move to a bigger place!

It has been a while since I last wrote a post. Minus the Van Tharp article series, which were all posted automatically, it has been about a week since I last wrote anything.
Today, let’s talk about Coins and Banknotes. Is there a way how one can profit from them? Apart from the usual FOREX trading, I believe that it is possible to profit from collecting coins and banknotes. Old coins and banknotes as well as the new ones. In fact, history tells us that is indeed possible. Returns of roughly around 13% per annum. Now, that’s not too bad at all! Of course, as with all other investment vehicles, future performance are never guaranteed.

This is another song that’s on my playlist at the moment. It’s the soundtrack from TV3’s Lestary series entitled Sindarela. The show, which is airing at the moment on TV3, is not really that great, but I do like the soundtracks.
Here’s the song Aku Sindarela by Amylea. This is the slow/sad version of Aku Sindarela.

The title caught your attention didn’t it? And yes, I do believe in God, mind you.
Last year, I was involved in the executive committee of a religious organisation at my university and we organised an information talk about God.
After the talk, we had some refreshments and some casual mingling. I and a few others had a chat with this lovely lady who happens to not believe in God. “I’m an atheist”, she says. She claims that religion is the cause of all the instabilities in the world and one shouldn’t believe in these… “Gods”. Everybody is killing each other because of differing opinions in the meaning of God and the “right way” to live a life.
