TAMBAHAN MALAM
Rakan kerja saya, seorang wartawan dari Mumbai yang dah dua tahun bekerja di Singapork, gembira sakan dapat beli mesin iPad ni. Cerita beliau di sini.
--------------------------------------------------
Saya gi ke Junction 8, mall dekat rumah saya di Bishan.
Ada 30 orang berbaris jam 9.45pagi.
Kedai Apple buka 10pagi, nak mula jual iPad.
Harga:
S$728 for the 16GB model (RM1,675).
S$878 for the 32GB model
S$1028 for the 64GB model
S$928 for the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G model
S$1078 for the 32GB Wi-Fi + 3G model
S$1228 for the 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model (RM2,824).
Lepas tu saya gi Funan Digital Mall, mall terbesar jual barangan komputer (yang lagi satu ialah Sim Lim Square) kat town.
Dah lepas jam 10, tak ada queue di dua kedai Apple.
Semua orang dapat beli.
Yang ada queue panjang ialah untuk beli iPhone4 yang akan mula dijual di Sinkapour Jumaat depan (BARU: Saya difahamkan ini queue nak beli iPad - alamak. Walhal jika mereka naik setingkat lagi tak payah berbaris!).
GAMBAR-GAMBAR di sini - ada rakyat Malaysia, China, Korea datang Temasek nak beli, you.
Saya TIDAK membeli iPad ni.
Dulu nak sangat, cari di empat bandar US tak dapat.
Dan Johor Mali nak tolong belikan di London, saya dah tak mahu.
Dah merajuk.
Saya cuma kepo nak tengok ramai ke tidak orang membeli. Maklumlah technology fan. Nak tengok orang gila ke tidak dengan mesin baru ni. Rise of the Machines.
Tidak begitu ramai nampaknya.
Yang lebih penting ialah saya terserempak seorang 'pakcik' Melayu. Dia panggil nama saya.
Rupa-rupanya seorang teman lama. Beliau dulu foreign-exchange manager di bank di Singapour.
Kalau Dr Mahathir kata 'rogue traders', beliau ialah salah seorang daripada mereka! Hahaha. Ramai 'rogue traders' ni saya kenal, termasuk Nick Leeson yang menjatuhkan Barings Bank, masa saya kerja kat Raffles Place dulu.
Kini mamat Melayu ni dah retire, hati gembira.
Dulu saya kenal beliau semasa di Raffles Place (1992-1994), mamat Melayu ni naik Mercedes, tinggal di rumah terrace corner di Singapour.
Beli apartment besar di KL.
Orang kaya pun masa tu.
Kini dah jual rumah di KL dan Singapore, dah jadi millionaire. Millionaire a few times over (agaknya), tinggal di apartment besar.
Umurnya jika tak salah, depa kasi tahu, 60 tahun. Dah retire 10 tahun lebih!
Yang saya gembira ialah beliau kata sedang dan mahu terus mengajar sesiapa saja yang nak belajar trading dengannya (stocks, bonds, fx, gold/silver, oil). Nak belajar baca charts?
Semua free.
Nanti kena kejar mamat ni. Ilmu percuma oi!

Mr Rem
FYI my iPad is being shared by my Missus ,mainly for sudoko and our 1 1/2 yr old granddaughter. A lot of useful apps for all ages.
Real handy for killing time surfing the web while the missus busy shopping at the mall.
When my granddaughter comes across any other laptop , she'd move her fingers or hand across the screen and get bewildered when nothing happened! Perhaps I've spoilt her early.
hehe. saya dulu kerja dalam bidang forex jugak. sekarang dah bosan. tapi kalau ada ilmu baru, best jugak.
betul ke dia bagi free lessons?
Hi Remmmm,
Naughty naughty. Its funny that I got a call from KL to informed me that you wrote about our meeting today.
Let me correct you. Am not a 'rouge trader' neither am I a 'rich' bloke that you suspect. But I do managed my life. I only impart my experience and knowledge to close mates. (Regardless of race language or religion) And that is for general information only. It is not intended as an expert or professional advice as it may not proved accurate either. I will also not be responsible for any individual investment objectives and neither be responsible for any losses incurred by any individual own decisions. Trading is a very lonely job. My only intention is to build some close investment fraternity as you are already into commodities. There are very few Melayu doing this job. This I could learn from you. And from information I get elsewhere, there are numerous 'trading and investment scams' locally and abroad. Scan the local papers. I thought I could at least remind, especially my friends, not to fall into this trap. They pray on over zealousness, impatience. gullibility and the little knowledge one have. I thought I can play a part, nothing more than that.
Nice to meet you.
"Pak Cik" Melayu.
Pakcik Melayu X,
whoa, cepatnya anda dapat tahu cerita kosong hamba ni.
it was exciting to be recognised by a rogue trader of 15yrs ago.
takpelah kamu nak kata tak kaya.
cuma kita nak kamu isi blank ni: $_____ dan nombor bank akaun. hahaha.
nanti i contact u, nak belajar trading ni.
my problem is my working hours: 11am to 10pm daily, maybe off on weds and suns (maybe not off!) - dah penat nak tidoq.
from,
fellow *pakcik melayu, but one without an ipad or retirement plan.
(*hey, w'dyaknow, i will be 51 during puasa month!)
Kalau ikut Seven Ages of Man; geng REM dan `Rogue Trader' (senior by 10 years) tinggal satu tahap lagi : second infancy? sans teeth, sans hair, sans this sans that :
Kita ikut Rasullullah yang wafat at 63. Selebihnya adalah bonus.
So what do we do menunggu di jemput ke rahmat Allah?
Hmm, buat jariah banyak banyak, sedekah ilmu. After all, bila mati, hanya i)Anak Soleh ii)Amal jariah iii) yang ni dah lupa...Sdra Remm tolong sket
Apapun tingah laku kita: jgn i)korup; ii)curi hak orang lain ii)kalau pemimimpin, kerja cara amanah, jgn cakap ajer tiap tiap hari keluar TV.
Innallillah hi wa inna illa hi rojiun (Darinya kita datang dan kpdnya kita kembali).
