Frustrated

Woke up and practiced some guitar until fingers pain. The thing is that swimming caused the skin to peel off easily. So better practice more to grow back the skin. Also practicing the guitar is my outlet for negative energy. Its soothing and calming over turbulent emotions at times.

Its getting frustrating, going to see the top specialist for my problem and nothing much improvement can be seen. The medicine caused me to have gastric pains instead so stopped it. The nasal spray, I've kept using, but dont see much improvement. Told the doc what was wrong, no improvement and the best he could was to prescribe another gastric medicine. SIGNZ... Not to mention, he doesnt really believe what I say about my chronic problem. Its frustrating to have to go back and its been really almost half a year of treatment. Seriously should I continue?

I must be allergic to work and should really quit real soon. My decision is almost a given. The only thing is the timing of it, as exactly when.

Going to HK trip in June. Was just checking out the webpages of the hotels we would be staying at. Think instead of going to the gyms, I shall bring my swim gear and go swimming. Looking at the pools, dont think they are very deep. Or at most I swim near the edges. Dont think I wanna go lift weights or do treadmills. Rather swim, though I only know breast stroke.

Yesterday I went swimming and did 12 laps. Didnt think I was up to doing more than that cos usually I go on a rather empty stomach, and after swimming then eat dinner. So I try not to delay dinner too much for stomach considerations. Last week or so, I weighed myself, down to 65.6kg, almost 3kg loss. But later that weekend, ate a bit more, back to 66.6kg. Hmm think I shall weigh again next week after I've finished another 2 swim sessions for this week's quota. Its true I have lost some weight, though not yet reached and stablised at 3kg and above. Think that would require more time. I do notice my flatter stomach, slightly more toned arms, though still have bat-wings. Also my jeans are getting looser. Think that is motivation enough to keep it up. Its only been the 7th week since I've started swimming twice a week, 12 laps each time.

Monitored stock market today, the rise seems to have teethered off. My dad feels that its a pull-back/retracement. So I went and did some calculation for the 1/2, 1/2 and 2/3 retracement. Today's trading prices for a few of my counters hit the 1/3 retracement mark. But I am not buying in yet cos its still high. I shall monitor if it hits near the 1/2 retracement part and start buying-in.

Also using the Moving Average Cross-over, 2days, 19days, suggested by my dad, cos that is Zheng Yuan Cang's method, 2-3 counters I am monitoring, has the faster MA cross the slower MA from above plus closing price is below slower MA. Its a sign. BUT I am not selling. WHY? Cos the current gains is still too little, though still have gains. If I go sell off, later have to try to buy back, which is difficult when one has a proper job, and cannot be actively monitoring for buy-in. Quite a lot of work also, given I have more than 5 counters. So I'll just wait it out instead. Choosing to wait for buy-in chances. The current prices now for my remaining counters are not attractive enough for me to want to sell, though still have gains. Others have just reached break-even prices but then prices gone downwards. So hold again. Get dividend loh.
