Investment - long-term benefit

I'm online at IRC cafe again tonight. I was feeling soo hungry just now. I don't want to have another pack og maggie mee as it's not yet 3 days after the last one I had. Another week for my next salary and I only have Rm30 on me now. Not a dime in my Maybank. So, reluctantly..I came here and use my voucher once more. Ordered Fish N Chip n Iced Coffee. Of course I would order wite rice and telor dadar if I could, but it's not in the menu.

Checked my email just now and I could see an email from public bank on the Trust Fund report for this month. Finally I could see a growth on the price of my China Ittikal Fund. But still hasn't reach the same price when I bought it last year. The price started to plummet during the US financial crisis. My agent rang me and asked if I want to add my units as buying the units during that time would be beneficial. The theory is simple, BUY WHEN IT'S CHEAP AND SELL WHEN IT'S EXPENSIVE. Of course I know about that as I am used to reading books related to financial sometimes. But not the heavy one.

I said to my agent that I would observe the price for three months and see what my insticnt says. For another 3 months, the price kept on decreasing. The news about the financial crisis seems to be worse everyday. So, I took the decision not to buy more shares.

But for the last 3 months, I could see the price is slowly increasing. From 12 cents, it's now reaching for 20 cents. I bought the share when it was 2o cents plus. Means, I have just wasted a big opportunity to add my units when the price is lot cheaper. It's a real life lesson to me. I hesitated to add the unit was not actually because I saw a trend of price-plummeting. But because buying trust fund unit is not a short-term thing. The benefits could only be seen after years. The main objective to me now is saving for my marriage. Hence, eventhough I spend a thousand for example to add my unit would hopefully benefit me in the future, but I would short a thousand in my marriage saving. That's the real dilemma.

Fancy of investing anyone??

Ikat bini kamu, anak perempuan kamu pada tiang yang paling kukuh!!!

Received a parcel when I was at my parents' house. A small book of the detail translation of surah Al-Kahfi. Thanks to PPZ (Pusat Pungutan Zakat) for the yearly gift. And a beneficial one of course. My math teacher once told us before she started our math class about how the first ten verse could save you from Dajal's lure and seduction. Akan tiba waktu Dajal bermaharajalela di penghujung dunia menawarkan segala macam kemewahan dan kehendak yang sukar untuk ditolak. Dan bilamana kita tunduk pada hebatnya Dajal memenuhi permintaan kita, maka neraka lah jawabnya. Maka ikatlah anak-anak perempuan kamu, isteri dan ibu kamu di tiang yang paling utuh dan kuat dalam rumah kamu dengan kemas kerana apabila Dajal menghentakkan kakinya ke bumi, seluruh kaum wanita akan berlari-lari mendapatkan Dajal meninggalkan segala-galanya. Akan dicampak anak yang sedang didokong, suami mereka untuk Dajal. Meraung2 lah mereka diikat pada tiang. Tapi jangan pula kamu kasihankan mereka dan membuka ika

Zikir Imam Shafie sesat? Zikir tolak syurga?

Assalamualaikum.. On the way balik dari Sabak Bernam ke Bangi hati terasa melompat2 nak tulis pasal entri ni. First and foremost, aku nk tekankan di sini kenapa aku berani nak ulas pasal benda ni? Pasal hukum, zikir dan kesesatan ni padahal aku mungkin xlayak, bukan ustaz dan sebagainya. Sebabnya cuma satu, zikir ini dilabel sesat oleh sekumpulan ustaz ni tanpa ada dalil, nas alquran atau kesepakatan ulamak. Dan kesesatan yang dilabel oleh mereka hanya disebabkan pentafsiran perkataan yang digunakan dalam zikir ni. Jadi kalau setakat pasal literasi perkataan, aku pun layak. Apa pun baca dulu lah ye. Zikir Imam Shafie yang dilabel sesat baru2 ni ialah zikir yg femes korang dengar dr kecik " Ilahi lastu lilfirdausi ahla.. wala aqwa alan naril jahim.. Allah Fahab li taubatau waghfir zunubi... Fainna tagho firuzzambil azimmmm " -maafla tak jumpa arab version nye- Bawah ni terjemahannya; Oh Tuhanku aku tidak layak untuk syurgaMu. Tetapi aku tidak pula sanggup menga
