Christmas 2011 - Movie Marathon

Have the whole day to myself since it's an off day from work, hence decided to have a movie marathon and decided on "We Bought a Zoo", "Petaling Street Warrior" and "Sherlock Holmes" in that sequence.  Planned the timing before heading to NEX, my current favorite cinema by Shaw Organisation, it is also mainly because of the location from my home.

Very good show indeed and definitely worth a second watch for me.  Just the type of movie I like and it's funny too, the whole cinema was laughing out loudly.  Trust me, it's >100% worth the dollars, so catch it ASAP.

I watched this movie mainly because of Mark Lee, kinda supporting his production, but I also not too sure whether this movie is his production haha... Anyway, not really worth the dollars to watch on weekend, pretty crappy and most of the time you also won't understand their joke or 笑点.

Out of the three movies I wanted to watch, I only manage to catch the above two movies, as Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was full house and I won't wanna waste 2-3 hours waiting just for the next show, and it also occur to me that I can always come back and watch the next day, Christmas Day.  And so I went to my handout, O Bar @ Upper Serangoon Road and spend the rest of my Christmas 2011.

相由心生 境随心转

First time I held my iPhone for 1 hour 13 minutes to watch the following video. It is about how the nature and environment react to our internal thinking and conscious. Do watch it when you are free.

Finally incorporated on 11th November 2011 (11-11-11), the trading account had also been created and the first trade was taken on 1st December 2011.  Trading report for the day is shown,

As you can see from the trade details, my income for the day was shown in the Gray highlighted column.  Wasn't my best trading day, as I was having the mix feeling of trading personally and trading professionally.  However, towards the end of the trading session, I manage to pull through with the right mindsets.

Singapore 46th National Day

Happy 46th Birthday Singapore!!!

The National Day Parade had been great, I watched the whole show on TV at home. And decided to pack and re-arranged my room after the show.  Just have the momentum to do that, also dunno why... Kinda xin yue lai chao, haha...

Anyway, been trading for awhile since I last blogged, but seriously speaking I haven't been constantly trading as I had been really busy.  However I had start trading again recently and with new principle I set for myself.  My target is to grow my account 5% every month.

If I am consistent in doing that, most probably I will have the confident to set up my own investment company and find shareholders for fund to trade and make a profit for them.

So far so good, I am doing well, wish me luck and wait for the good news. ;p

Yet another week had past...

Time sure past in a flash when you are busy and have alot to do...

After a busy week, I went to watch KungFu Panda 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides.  The shows doesn't come easy actually... I went to Orchard Cineleisure and it was full as well as sold out for the shows that I wanted to watch, so I had to walk to The Cathay and the next timing show was also sold out.  Nevertheless, decided to queue for the next show, which mean I can only catch one show.  Finally during my turn, I was told that there are still scattered seat available so I took it up, anyway I'm alone as usual.  So, it was KungFu Panda 2 first, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean 4...

Enjoyed both shows and took a cab home after midnight...  Had a good sleep and wake up earlier on Sunday to attend Noreen's Wedding at The Capella in Sentosa.  Did not manage to catch Grace in advance and had to make my way to Sentosa, by cab because I was still late ;p

Enjoy the wedding lunch with the company of Grace and Edwin, been a while since I met the two of them.  The lime light of the day, Noreen, I am very happy for her knowing that she had found that Mr Right in her life.  Took a few pictures together and had her solo shot to track how long she will stay that slim... haha... She was slim when I knew her lah actually... just that during the period when we did not really contact she other, her 身材 really 走了样 hehe... and imagine when I met her just few weeks ago, she was still.... and now...

The following week was again hectic and in fact many unpleasant things happened too.  I lost my temper, showed attitude and many many unpleasant things... All because of the stress and the hectic at work plus matters at heart.  I could had handled all those stress well, but judgement was clouded because of matters at heart, as was told to me by my friend, I will not be naming him here so as not to complicate matters, just in case.

I was glad to have him telling me what he had told me and also the extra sharing of my bazhi...  I learned alot about myself as well as what I need to do.  Nevertheless, all those sharing still did not stop me from wondering and thinking in the night.  However, it put it to myself that that was going to be the last night of insomnia or at least late night.  It took me some courage and I wrote an email to the party involved asking for her understanding and forgiveness.  I hope for a reply but till now did not receive any, but it's okay as I felt better and things are also better then last week.

Though I still feel the burning pain in me sometime, I tried not to be bothered by it and also learnt to be slightly opened about it.  In that week, I also took the bold steps towards being smoke free.  Having know that I am not going to succeed by myself, I decided to call QuitLine for help.  I am determined and taking progressive to quit my smoking.  Target had been set and put in place, execution had been enforced as well, now I just need to stick to plan and carry it out religiously to ensure it success.

Of course, I will also need alot of support from friends and love ones.  Most importantly, the best support will be from you.  I dun think she will be so free to drop by here but if she does, please let her know that she will give me the best support not only in quitting smoking but in all things...

Gambate!!!

14 May 2011 - What a rare saturday!

Saturday 14th May 2011, a very rare saturday for me since it was only 3 hours of work and spend sometime with groups of friends / colleagues.  Anyway before I continues with my saturday, I shall start with Friday the 13th...

Interestingly, while recalling the events for put into this entry, I realized that first time ever did I felt this way.  I am not superstitious, it's just coincidental and most probably I can get to blame it on the day itself - Friday the 13th.

I got home from work on thursday night, reaching home at about 1am, meaning it's already Friday the 13th morning.  I realized that I had left my keys in office and had to call to wake up my family to open the door for me.  What a way to start this Friday the 13th!  As usual, I did not wake up on time the following morning and had to get a cab to work.  Best of all, I had my biggest lose of the week, giving back all my profit made the past trading week to the market.  Now I have to start from scratch again. :(

So is it really because it's Friday the 13th?

Nevertheless, I had a great saturday having to work only 3 works and get to catch a movie at The Cathay with FDO, YIN and VAN.  After tidying the office, we took a train to The Cathay and meet up with YIN before proceeding for our lunch at Popeyes and watched the movie Priest.

The movie wasn't really fantastic, maybe our expectation was too high.  After the movie, we went to Plaza Singapura Swensen's for ice cream before parting our way home.  I went to Sengkang - Jalan Kayu to meet up with Ronghui, Yingshun, Petrina, Edwin, Desmond and his wife for dinner.  Mikaela was the only kid and I took a few photo of her, an usual thing I do whenever I meet up with them.  Looking at the photo, you really see how fast they grow up and also realize how fast time has flies pass.

After the dinner and drinks, went home and I ended a great saturday.  Having a good ends to this rare day, let me add on another piece of good new.  After having working so hard for the past year and seeing the company growing and finally expanding, I am also finally getting offered for a regular employment with basic salary.  After having almost a year of hourly rated, but I kinda like this way of rewards, you are being paid for what you worked for and I get to maximize my salary as well, haha... Anyway it's a good offer and I am happy with what I am doing, of course I am also planning of something and hopefully being able to put it into execution soon.  Also not forgetting, I am trying hard cutting down on the number of cigarette I am smoking each day and hopefully totally quit by the end of the year.  I am not forcing myself as I know cold turkey is not going to work for me anymore, hence will have to do it the right way and slowly get it out of my system.

Trading as a profession / asset class

What so great about trading FX as a profession / asset class?  Apart from being able to earn quite a bit, of course it have to do with my passion.  I have a great passion in FX trading ever since I started.  Taking up a course with FX1 Academy and thinking that with what they taught in one full days would make me trade and earn money was naive.  Nevertheless, the exposure and opportunity that was created had gave me great insight and eventually something I build on for my future.  I chance upon the trainee dealer program by Six Capital PTE LTD a year ago and after attending their talk, I see a different light on trading FX professionally.  

How many such chances do we have to learn this skill side by side with someone who was a Chief Dealer with big banks before?  

Many had the wrong idea of trading FX for a profit, such as letting your profit runs cutting your losses fast, using indicators...  Not that all these sayings are wrong, but the fact that traders don't write and writer don't trade does tell me that we cannot believe everything we read from books or net.

Taking small and consistent profit is very much the key to success in FX trading.  Pick this skill of SPOT FX trading and use the profit take intraday position and strategy position will help you make hugh amount of money.  I had not been focusing on my SPOT trading but currently experiencing strategy position and learning intraday position taking.  Following the strategy had help me make good profit and grew my account equity quite a bit.  

Having to explain why one should be a professional trader is difficult, maybe I am just not a good writer, have language problem, does not know how to put them into words.  But I guess the key motivating factor now seem to be the amount of money I can earn by trading not just my own money but other people money as well.  And it is by trading other people money that will help you to make the most money.

First Blog Entry of 2011 - Run 350 & Movie Marathon

Wow!!! It's almost 5 months since I last posted an entry here...  Obviously I had been busy or rather lazy, busy working on my resolution set out to be accomplished in 2011, lazy for having worked so hard everyday and just want to take a break when not working.

Anyway finally I took up my running shoe and went for a run on Sunday morning in support of a Green Project by Singapore, Run 350.

Woke up and took a ride with Yingshun, Ronghui and Youxing to the starting point.  Parked at market street and took a walk over to the starting area, marina promenade.

Getting ready for the run...

We had past our flag off time and many were already getting ready for the next category to be flagged off.  We continued on to the starting point and race off...  The run route was good as I get to pass by places I had not been to yet, MBS and the link bridge linking MBS and Marina Square...

Link Bridge

Singapore Flyer & F1 pit stop building

Marina Bay Sands

All in all, I completed the 10km run in 1 hour 15 mins thereabout.  Quite an accomplishment actually, taking into consideration that I haven't been working out for a good few months...  After the run, we took a ride to Joo Chiat for our breakfast before returning home.

Taking a breather

Race Bib & Medal

=====================================================

Been a long time since I watched a movie, and once I started, I just can't have enough of it haha...  The first movie I watched was the World invasion, Battle LA, good action movie.  Last night I went over to The Cathay after work and watched THOR in 3D.  The movie was great and having it in 3D is really fantastic.  After the movie, it was still early and I decided to watch Arthur.  It wasn't as good as expected, yes it was funny but I think the storyline was a bit rushed at the back probably due to time limitation.

More movies coming up... Pirates... Fast & Furious... Kungfu Panda 2... many mores!!!
