I Am Culturally Annoyed
I am culturally annoyed over the Asian face editing in this software marketing presentation. Why on earth is there a problem with the size of Asian eyes, and why should eye creases be added ? This simply perpetuates stereotypes and generates desire in impressionable women to have cosmetic surgery, if nothing else.

Good news:
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-09-05/singapore-overtakes-japan-as-asia-s-biggest-foreign-exchange-hub
Perhaps a result of Japan falling.
Not-so-good news:
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-09-01/singapore-stocks-slump-most-in-developed-world-southeast-asia
The economy is very open, and it will surely be affected by the downturn in the region, which comprises developing countries.

Fodder for some political ends, but I'm not interested in that.

Tough talk on short sellers - Channel NewsAsia
Tough talk on short sellers - Channel NewsAsia
Can't argue with this article. Shortsellers will knock over retail investors, but much worse is the magnitude of the transient price plunge arising from shortseller tactics. Prevention appears to be in ensuring better reporting, because that's what shortseller analysts are going to use to justify their tactic of taking short positions.

My Other Blogs and Curated Magazines-Boards

I'll probably post to my Blogger blog on subjects which are related to finance, corporate matters and economics. I might include photos or some such. I have several other blogspot blogs, which are very focused on my personal interest areas, and serve merely as references.
http://ibr-remote.tumblr.com/
Yes, I have a Tumblr account !!
Seriously though, I think I'll keep my own real life projects recorded there, such as my currently on-hold papercraft BJD prototyping. Expect more photos from me at this place, as I'll show progress when there is some !

My Wordpress blog. I'll activate it to show developmental aspects of my Visual Novel Otome Game and related items.

This blog you are reading now. I will put day-to-day real life real person stuff here, including my anime and manga interests, my 3D computer graphics interest, my comments and opinions, and various other items which may appear as nonsensical rubbish to others.

I post most of my 3D CG renders here, but I do sometimes post journal entries related to art or computer graphics.

My comment:
Small retail investors like myself are bound to be knocked sideways by shortseller talk-downs of specific counters. It's a most unfriendly behaviour on the part of greedy profiteers. Fortunately, larger stakeholders won't allow shortsellers to get away with too much of the cherry pie. It's also important that listed entities look sharp to protect themselves from shortselling attacks; it reflects poorly on corporate governance when an entity comes under attack in this manner.
