Nuffnang + SingTel Blogging Contest - CJ's wish!

Have you all joined this contest? Hope you all did and had a fun time blogging about some of the places in Singapore you wish you had internet connection.

For sure I have to join this contest because I have a longing wish too!

Here’s my entry!

I wish we have internet connection at Botanic Gardens, the most beautiful and sprawling garden in Singapore, so that I can feed my online indulgences in the company of nature.

Imagine lying on a mat, under a shady tree with my other half to blog, facebook, shop, catch up on the latest news and perhaps also join contests :) , all these while enjoying a picnic. That will be such a great way to spend a relaxing weekend.

Can we have that pretty please, Singtel? I bet so many others who visit Botanic Gardens will love to have that too!

Contest type: Online Game

Prize: An Asus Easy PC

So, do you think you are financially smart? Yes? Really? Ok, I test you.

Real estate prices increase when
(a) Interest rates increase
(b) Interest rates decrease
(c) Exchange rates decrease

Answer is at the bottom of the post.

Got it wrong? Or piece of cake?

Come, I challenge you to Prosperity Personal's Finance Challenge and while at it, one of us may be the lucky one to win an Asus Eee PC!

There are questions on exchange traded fund, financial risks, hedging etc so you can try, test yourself and learn at the same time :)

I like the game! Keep going back again and again to try and hit the perfect score and I still haven't got 100% yet ;p

And you know what? The questions are quite an eye opener. Very interesting.

Guess which bank was awarded best Retail Bank in Singapore by the Asian Banker
(a) OCBC
(b) POSB
(c) DBS
(I got this right! Did You?)

The Gross National Income of Singapore in 1960 used to be
(a) 434 USD
(b) 1059 USD
(c) 21060 USD
(Really??)

Who said 'Why don't I kill your mother and we'll split the insurance money?'
(a) John Thain, Merril Lynch
(b) Kenneth D. Lewis, Bank of America
(c) Richard Fuld, Lehman Brothers
(d) Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway

What somebody say that? For real? Some scandalous conspiracy going on? Gasp! That got me curious enough to google up about it.

Well the person who said it is an extraordinary vice chairman and yes there was a scandal - The Mutual Fund Scandal.

"A significant fraction of mutual fund managers took bribes to betray their own shareholders. It was as if a man came up and said, "Why don't we kill your mother and we'll split the insurance money?" And many people said, "Why, yes, I'd like some of that insurance money." And many of them think what happened to them was unjust.

Aaah..... Now we know :)

And that is just one of his many famous notable quotes. Read more here.

At the end of the quiz, you just have to fill in your name and email to stand a chance to win the Asus Easy PC in the lucky draw.

To increase your chances of winning, you can invite your friends to participate, send your score to your Twitter account and also participate as many times as you want. Each participation will increase your chances of winning.

Winner will be announced on 1st of July 2009.
