Welcome to bigfoothill.

Greetings to you. May you feel at home and enjoy what I am sharing on this little corner. I am learning as much as I can from you and fellow blogger community. It is my first attempt at blogging. Who knows, it could be another source of information for the community and at the same time it could well be another source of income for me as I am as much interested in making money online. Let's go from here...

Chinese New Year is Over. Enter the Dragon

Hi folks, I guess most of us here in Malaysia have enough of long festive and public holidays and weekends over the last few weeks.  There were the Federal Territory Day on Wednesday 1 February, 2012 in Kuala Lumpur and the Federal Territory of Putrajaya and Labuan.  Then there was this Birthday of Prophet Muhammad on Sunday 5 February, 2012 followed by Chap Goh Meh which is the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year on Monday 6 February, 2012 and finally the Hindu religious Thaipusam on Tuesday 7 February, 2012.  The Hindu celebrated Ponggal which was their  harvest festival over four days including Monday 16 January, 2012 in Malaysia but it was not a public holiday.



It is great to be living in my beloved (Rasa Sayang) country Malaysia to truly know our ethnic diversity and of getting to know so many friends and of different cultures and traditions.  Well some of us  like the long weekends and holidays so that we can do the things we like and wanted to do in our lifetime which we may have planned for a long time.  As for some, holidays are good time to have reunions and spend quality time with loved ones or fulfilling some promises to bring your children for special treatments since they may done well in their examinations.
Maybe, you could be one just like me who just like to listen to some of the oldies and songs that bring some sweet memories during these holidays.  Thanks to so many lovely songs uploaded onto You Tube by our community.  I like to thank zoundcracker for the lovely songs shared on You Tube. One of these oldies reminded me of the Hong Kong TV series that my parents and I watched on the rented video tapes back in the eighties.

As for me, I also took time to have good rests but too much of it made me lethargic and not good for the physical health and mind.  Now is the time to get back to work and grind. God is good and great as He gives us HOPE of every thing new not just on the New Year of our creeds and cultures but every day.   Be it new found prosperity especially for all of you and for the Chinese people who would love for this Dragon Year for it is said that the Chinese are the descendants of the Dragon.

Here are some video clips that I managed to record while on stopover at Genting Highlands Resorts for you to enjoy and to cherish.

I missed a few performances when the dancers were dancing to the Ding Dong Song as my video camera memory card was full.

Happy New Year 2012 Countdown at Esplanade (Padang Kota), Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia

Wishing you a very Happy New Year 2012 and may God bless you richly in wealth ,good health, and grant you peace, joy, success and love always in the 366 days ahead.


After dinner at James Foo Western Food, Fettes Park, Penang, Bigfoothill went over to the main annual hot spot for the New Year 2012 Countdown at the Esplanade (Padang Kota), Georgetown, Penang.  The VVIPs including the Chief Minister, the Honorable, Mr Lim Guan Eng and his Exco members were there to grace the occasion.


As we were walking on the street which was full of hawkers and petty traders and the people going towards Padang Kota, we passed by another famous landmark, The Sire-Museum Restaurant known for its Western Foods and fine dinning and a collection of the Chinese Antiques and furniture belonging to the famous millionaire, the illustrious Yeap Chor Ee who arrived from China and worked very hard to become the founder of the only Penang based bank, Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad which had in recent years been merged into CIMB Bank.


There was a concert held at Padang Kota along Light Street and facing the seafront and next to the Fort Cornwallis which is located right in front of the City Hall building next to the Dewan Sri Pinang on the back and opposite Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Penang Branch. American International Assurance Berhad (AIA) Gnext training center is right behind BNM at Bishop Street, Georgetown, Penang. The group Bunkface was one of the performers performing at the peak of the concert.  You may like their genre of rock music.  They performed the song "Dunia" which means "World" when I was walking to the Esplanade after finding a parking space at AIA.

Hua Yang Quaterly results

Remember my tea break for shares? This is my maiden post on share investment where I pick this company as one of the stocks in my portfolio.

A check on the Bursa Malaysia announcements, Hua Yang has announced their Q2 FY2012 results that are very impressive with Profit before tax(PBT) of RM18.89m for the current year Q2 ending 30th September, 2011 increased by more than 320% over the previous year corresponding Q2 figure of RM5.90m.  The cumulative  PBT year to date for current year  increased by more than 269% over the previous year cumulative period of corresponding period. The net asset per share attributable to equity holders of the parent company stood at RM2.23 as at end of current quarter period as compared to preceding financial year end of RM2.05.
Hua Yang Q2FY2012 results announcement here from Bursa Malaysia website
They had earlier on 22 August 2011 announced a 7.5 % first and final dividend and duly paid on 28 September, 2011. On 13 October, 2011, the company announced a bonus issue of 1:3 and the entitlement date is on 28 October, 2011 and the ex-date is on 25 October, 2011.

I was impressed with their performance when I was looking for a good dividend paying shares to invest and bought and hold on until now hoping that it would reach my personal target price of RM2.00.  However, due to the European zone crisis and the global downtrend, it has gone down below my entry point and now it is just closing at RM1.60 as at 19 October, 2011. Hopefully it will be there regardless of the bad news from Europe zone. It could have been easily achieved if not for the negative sentiments over the last two months. After the bonus issue, if the price goes up to probably RM2.00, to me, it will then be trading at its fair value.  The volume of transactions in recent weeks are not like that of those of more established names in the properties such as the YTLLand, Malton, UEMLand, Dutaland and UOADev. The interest in the counter is picking up slowly after the announcement of the bonus issue.

According to its press release recently, the company is confident of reaching its sales target of RM350millions for FY2012. They have ongoing projects in Klang Valley, Ipoh and Johor to sustain them through to the FY2012.  Hopefully it will boost investors confidence to stay invested in the company. It is covered by a number of research houses.  Here is a link to RHB Research's report that is available on Hua Yang's website at Investor Relations.

Tea Break for Shares

I have not been sharing lately as I was doing some of my personal projects on D-I-Y or sabbatical from my usual work during the past weeks.  You do visit my blog as I do hope to write and share on my D-I-Y once I get around things. It will be my first attempt on a D-I-Y write up and sharing.

 It has been quite a while that I do not know what to share but I like to invest in shares.  Invest in shares can help us to make more money and make your money work hard for you while you sleep and rest.  It could also be the opposite it you invested in shares and lost some money.  There will be excitements when you see your portfolio increases in values.  However, you can have sleepless nights and worries when your portfolio of share prices drop suddenly due to some events like announcement of coming General Election and Polling Date and negative news happening locally or globally beyond your control like the Financial Crisis in 2008, the Earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011 at Japan and the recent European zone Sovereign Debts Crisis.  It is certainly not for everyone.

You either love it or hate it.  Your heartbeats and blood pressure readings determine your health condition as it follow the ups and downs of the stock exchanges indexes like the Japanese Nikkei, Hongkong Hang Seng, Singapore Stock Exhange, Bursa Malaysia KLCI or the US Dow Jones indexes.

There are many mistakes in share investments being made by many new traders or investors due to lack of knowledge and of make poor decisions based on tips from friends or relatives and rumors heard in the coffee shops rather than based on some fundamental analysis, technical analysis and own research or fact findings on the counters or companies listed on the stock exchanges (KLSE) or (NYSE) to invest in.  It were hard and bitter lessons learned along the way. 

I have become more careful and better informed as I read and study some books on financial planning, unit-trusts, insurance and  investment links and share investments to educate and to equip myself, make searches for information from business bulletins, internet, television reports, Bursa Malaysia (KLSE) and news or get connected with my remisiers for advice and consultations.  I also subscribed to the stockbroking houses reports.

Well, it certainly helped me to make better informed investment decisions and to be in better mental state of mind in turbulent markets. There is no guarantee that I can make the right picks and make gains each time.  It improved my portfolio selection skill and get better opportunity of making return on investments. At least, I am prepared if I make losses and know how to minimize the portfolio risks.

I came across some of these blogs dedicated to financial investments in stocks and shares that are very interesting and informative which I like and you may like to visit too.  

They are :-
Malaysia-Finance Blogspot (here). The Bonuses are you get to introduced to beautiful ladies, splendid pictures and get good tips on foods and musics too.

Note: I was introduced to share trading and being offered ESOS (Employee Share Option Scheme) when I was in my first banking job in the early 1980s and when my employer was embarking on a one-stop financial center concept for the ease of doing business in a little town up North where there was no stockbroking firm present there then.. The trading was very much different from today as we used manual records, registers and making telephone calls to the appointed dealer to place our orders. The daily newspapers pages on stocks summary which I used to skipped reading suddenly became the all important MUST READ pages from Mondays to Saturdays. Now, with the advancement of technology and electronics gadgets, we can go online and trade online live from anywhere (even when you are in the business of doing private business in toilet just  like the advertisement of MYEG with its appealing beauties in red skirts, of getting your road tax delivered to you at your toilet doorstep) as long as you have access to the internet and your trading account.

By the way, here is a little diversion about MYEG. Its service is really useful to me when my clients are from outstations and when they did not have the car registration card with them if they did not bother to collect it from the bank for safe-keeping under the hire-purchase loan.  I can issue the automobile/motorcar insurance policy online at my Insurance principal's Agency Portal and renew the road tax for my client by logging into MYEG's portal and pay the road tax fee and delivery charges via credit card or online bank fund transfer.  The road tax is then delivered by MYEG directly to my client at their preferred address (Home or Office) within 48 hours.  MYEG is also listed on the Bursa Malaysia.
