DIE Property market DIE

About 2 and a half years ago, the small 2 bed room apartment I rent in Melbourne inner city suburb was asking around AUD280,000 selling price. And the market went quiet during global financial crisis. After just more than a year, while we are still not sure if we really avoided the recession, the same property is selling at near AUD350,000.

OK, first home buyers got to wake up. While it is always a beautiful dream owning a property, and nothing wrong with that, the market is just going to fast, too furious.

Err… My point is….err, I’ve no idea. And I’m always absolutely delighted to see any market collapses….

Here is a chart I drew while sitting in toilet this morning.

Honest company?

While tracking delivery of my Amazon Kindle, I found something interesting on DHL tracking summary:
Honest_Company

‘Shipment arrived at incorrect facility’ …Well, it is understandable, mistake happens. I’m actually a little surprised by the way DHL shows the mistake in the tracking summary. Well, maybe it is just  a piece of system limitation…

It shows they were actually working on weekend. Let’ see if I can receive my Kindle today…I can’t wait…..

Big fat milk

I am not sure if it was the room temperature or the chemical effect within the almost empty REV milk bottle, it inflated overnight. It was meant to be thrown away this morning. Is it going to explode if I leave it on the table for another day?(no, I’m not going to do that)

The 38°c day

It was a 38°c day, the most hated summer heat wave was back to Melbourne again. I sound like a broken record, but, I truly HATE summer. Don’t be mistaken, the heat in Melbourne summer, is definitely different from the humid hot weather of south east Asia. That was dry heat. Well, basically, Melbourne turned into a giant oven.

We experienced a typical Melbourne day, right after 2pm, temperature droped more than 10°c. From freaking 38°c to 26°c. And I realized it was raining… oh well, I have been trading the whole day, who cares about what’s going on outside the window.

I had some thoughts in mind, but, out of sudden, I don’t feel like writing anything. Darn the weather.
