My first time...

in the hot seat next to the driver of an ambulance. Well, it happened that Sunny, our Club maintenance guy had a bad fall will maintaining the resort room aircon. He was bleeding from the back of his head when we rushed to the room. Sat him down and used towel to try to stop the bleeding. According to him, he fell from the ladder and blackout for a moment before he regain consciousness and called Jamie. I used the towel to press on the wound to stop the bleeding while getting Jamie to call for an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived and sent him to Changi General Hospital for follow up. I followed him so as to keep the GM updated. Hence I first time on the hotseat. Arrived at the hospital and I sat outside the resuscitation room while Sunny was given 3 stitches and had to be send for scan to assured that he was alright. He was kept under observation for 24 hours. While waiting for him, I saw many case coming in, though most was not serious except one that came with the siren wailing. When the rear door of the ambulance opened, the paramedic was carrying out CPR, it was a middle aged man in sport attire, accompanying him was a young gal in sporting attire as well. I guess they were having their routine jogging when the man collapse. After telling the nurse her NRIC number she started crying and calling for her dad.

Having seen all this cases coming in, seriously put me into deep and serious thoughts about life and what will happen to one next. As the saying goes, "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is mystery, Today is a Gift, that why it's called PRESENT." Nevertheless, kudos to all the paramedics responding to all the calls and cases at all time 24/7 around the clock. My sincere and most respectful salute to you guys. ;p

After seeing Sunny in the observation ward, I left the hospital and went to 85 Bedok Market for dinner with Ruilong. Initially, more were coming back last minutes all put out left me and Ruilong. Again this put me into thoughts, our group is getting smaller, in the past we used to be able to gather strenght (number of people) in a short period of time and meetup for supper and coffee. Nowadays, after getting married and starting their own family, it's more difficult to arrange in such a short time frame. Well, guess have to plan ahead for the next meetup.

I am getting myself into some dilemma and serious (probably) problems too, lately after leaving the service, things doesn't seem to be smooth sailing for me. I kinda get extremely weary of my current job, couldn't get myself that ideal job I wished for, no responses from the many resumes that I had sent out. Also I am starting to miss someone whom I met recently for quite a few times, though we had known each other for years. I seriously dunno whether I should or shouldn't as I am worried that things might get complicated. I guess I shall deploy the best method in the entire world called time and nature. They shall show me the path....

FOREX end-of-week update 6-10 Jul 09

Pictures and Charting speak a thousand words. Anyway I had start to realise the usefulness of the MAs and presently gaining confidence using EMAs 21, 55 and 100. Apparently, I had seen their signal and saw the result to be quite accurate. So now, its about putting them into action. I had also came out with a table of my trading target and result to track my progress. Sorry won't be uploading this table for all to see. It's basically my dollars and cents, so it's confidential. But this table would help me to determine my lot size and limit my risk per trade.

FOREX end-of-week update 29 Jun-3 Jul 09

Another week of unsatisfactory trading, nevertheless, I am embarking on the use of Moving Averages to help judge the price movement. Trading method had not changed, still on candlestick pattern and scapling. I am targeting to increase my account 10% daily, but risking only 3-5% of my account. Had top-up another USD250 into my account. Numbers of trades per day should be reducing as I am on 5 minutes timeframe now to reduce fake out. Hang on for better result...
