My mom told me to consider deferring my thoughts of quitting to maybe the end of the year. Her worry cos the swine flu sweeping the globe might dampen the economic recovery so finding a job is not that easy.
I appreciate her thoughts. But I dont really intend to look for a job immediately. Though I have also been pondering about the timeline to do so.
Previously was July/Aug period. Now considering Sept/Oct period even til the end of the year. Why the deferrment? Well its the reserve level. I have not built up the reserve level to 12 months income yet. To do that, without touching my investment funds, would take me up another 7 months of saving up. Starting from next month, up to end of Oct. Cos included 1/2 month bonus.
Hmmm... wonders why am I getting hesistent? Is it worries about finding a job later on, worries about paying insurance which is about $4.5k or worries that 12 months income is not enough...
Signz when will it ever be enough? To work until you are 50s, then retrenched, then decide that THAT would be your break? Signz what is worrying me?
I have to really decide nearer to the date of FREEDOM. Maybe its jitters. Think I would give it deeper thoughts during the June break, hopefully win big big, or meet some rich guy in Macau.

More stock counters that I am monitoring have the faster MA cross the slower MA and the closing price is below the slower MA. 6 counters have hit 1/3 retracement. Amongst them, 4 have hit 1/2 retracement. 1 has hit 2/3 retracement. I used the calculated prices for retracement as buy-in cues now. I buy-in around the 1/2 retracement prices.
Though I had just bought into CapLand, at a pricey $2.45, for me, its cause I still have capital released from previous round of selling, so I start buying cos it has hit my first buy-in target price. Of course there is still more room to fall. Maybe there would be more. Also I wanna buy in for the dividends, plus also to have some for maybe medium term investments instead of trading ones. I am waiting to buy more at the next lower set buy-in prices.
Start monitoring the market for buy-in opportunities. You would have to decide, how low is cheap enough for you and when prices hit that level, are you going to buy, or wait some more? Its really something no one can teach you. You have to do some hands-on, mistakes and self-doubts for such decisions. Maybe you made the right decision to wait/buy, or wrong one where prices fell further. Its something you have to live with. Dont play up on your mistakes, just learn from it, cos we are not living in 6/6 hindsight.

Stock Opportunities for Buy-In, when exactly I am not sure.
1st Quarter financial results are out.
That would impact share prices. A company making losses, would inevitably have its share prices falling.
Then SWINE fever sweeping fear much like SARS, hence that would also have a huge negative impact on share prices, especially sectors affected.
All these meant
Opportunities are coming. Start monitoring, then when its low enough for you, you decide whether to buy in or not. Definitely is not time for selling unless your stock counter is still rallying.
But cos things have only just started heading down, its best to monitor a bit first. Either that or you may risk ending up over invested too early.

Changing Oneself
Hmm this weekend, been somewhat pigging out a tad bit too much that I decided and resolutely went for 3rd swim session with sister. That was AFTER we came back from East Coast, eating Carl's Jr burgers, fries and drink. Why we ended up there was also due to boredom so asked Dad if he was going out. Then we decided East Coast and went there. Saw the kangeroo shoes and also the Ripple which is like a skateboard thingy. But since not nice to leave dad alone sitting for an hour while go cycling, skating, so my sister and I settled for walking along the beach for 20 minutes, discussing stuff.
In the later morning, earlier, I had gone to the temple to pray. Offer incense to the deities in the Temple and prayed specifically to Monkey God. May things go my way, everything also shun shun li li. Even if I have the intention to quit, still want things to be shun li, dont want to have to work like a dog, dog tired type. After coming back from the temple, I finally had a good sleep. Think I napped for 3.5hrs at a shot. Cos the weather has been blistering hot so much so, that one like myself who sleeps wrapped up in blanket, cant sleep without the fan blowing. But for unknown reasons, I kept waking up at 7.30am for the past few weekdays. It resulted in tiredness cos wake too early, plus too hot to go back to sleep. So was somewhat under the weather, especially on Saturday.
___________________________________________
Last night and by today's afternoon, I've finished plowing through the stack of Annual reports and Financial summaries sent to me by post due to my stock investment. The Annual reports give a clearer picture of assets, especially for Property counters. They will list out the Malls, Hotels, Offices owned by them. One can be surprised by the familarity of the names. In fact, it becomes more tuned in. Next time, I am at those places, I'll keep my eyes peeled for occupancy, crowd, biz in general, even up coming projects nearby eg IR. While travelling in Quetzal's car, noticed a couple of new development, under some of these counters too. Hmm... considerations for going in for medium term investment. See how.
The market on friday has turned a bit more. In some of my counters, I am seeing up to almost 50% retracement, in a few, 1/3. Though there are still quite a number still going up, with no trace of weakness. Sian that SPC. I just have to wait and monitor a bit. Dont want to make the same mistake of overinvestment that until REAL good opportunities, then no capital to buy. SIAN. I better practice more REFRAIN now, dont be too eager to go in then end up going in too early.

Changing Oneself
Hmm read both Tab's and Quetzal entries about changing oneself and being happier or not being able to do it.
For myself, over the years, I have gradually really come to terms with my own personality self. Though I do have flaws, I dont think I want to trade for others. In case one dunno, my temper is not exactly good, sometimes short fuse, mostly more dormant over the years. My face is not exactly one for making jokes and stuff. But heck.
The thought experiment of being in a room with total strangers and how would one react to it.
Hmm, the secondary day me, would totally ignore everybody and just do my thing.
The JC day me would wait at the side, wait for pple to make a move and interact with those few who do.
The Uni day me would go up to maybe those who looked like in the same plight, lost and lonely too and make some talk.
The current me would have either heck it all or if have to, make small talk with whoever is around, near, beside, provided they are interested.
At least that is what I think I would do. In spite of the years, I am still not the 'life of the crowd', still tend to be at the sidelines, though I dont mind being the focus at times. But I am not the alpha type. Not a bitch, more aloof, though I do still have the habit of observing, listening and thinking more instead of talking.
Am I alright with my current self?
Except for the more negative perspective of things which I really need to consciously change now, I am alright. I have made conscious changes to my own personality in terms of doing things, taking initiative, speaking with pple. Gradually over time, I found, I can be proactive, initate stuff eg conversations, discussions, take the necessary first step. Provided I feel and want to do that. So that depends on the situation, hence in the room, if I feel the need to participate, I would go up and self-introd and talk, if dont feel the need, I would just stand at a corner and be fine with both ways. Some would call it 'wearing' a mask but if its fine both ways, I would think its more an internal thingy.
Then would I want to be completely different from the personality that I have now?
I guess I cant really tell which is better unless suddenly I suffered from Amnesia and then my personality suddenly changed into a sweet, demure, positive one, then I can somewhat make a fairer comparison AFTER I regained the memory of my current personality. The grass always seems greener on the other side. One is seldom very satisified nor happy with oneself. In fact, we play up personal flaws, while neglecting to notice that other 'perfect' people have flaws too, at times worst. Its just we dont see them cos either dont know them well enough or hidden. No need to bash yourself up for own flaws. I think everybody has them.
Even if your personality really changes to the one that you thought was ideal, it doesnt mean life would automatically go smoothly. It doesnt gurantee becoming rich, popular, everything shun shun li li. You really wont know until you are actually there. Since in the game of life, where every decision branches off into another scenario, and there is no way one can retrace life, just lead it forward. No need to dwell too much on the past, be it poor decisions, what ifs. Theres just too much of those. Focus on making a better decision for the current self. At least that is more real for myself.
Sure enough there are doubts, insecurities, but as long as at the end of the day, you can live with your choice, anything goes, as long as you are happy.

Fatiqued
SIGNZ and SIANZ... have to do an admin thing tonight.
Its stupid. A short deadline. Then didnt really have that many free periods to clear it, so left it until today. Have to finish tom. Its either go in work earlier to clear or clear at home. But still have to spend some time at work to clear it... The difference is the timing of going in. Reckon about 1hr plus should do the trick, provided I can login. Its crap cos I REALLY DONT FEEL LIKE DOING IT NOW, TOMORROW OR EVEN GO IN EARLIER... SIGNZ
Think based on my current state, and how inefficient I am working at home, I would most likely be going in much earlier to clear it off once and for all. At least I can look forward to the weekend, the guitar lessons after.
________________________________________
I rather look at the stock market.
A few more counters continued to have strong showing, unfortunately those are the counters that I have finished selling off the shares. Then those on hand, there are quite a few with Faster MA crossing Slower MA and also closing prices below Slower MA. Just that prices have fallen by 50% of rise yet. Its alot of waiting now for the opportune time to buy and also to see if signs verfiy a correction.
________________________________________
Signz turned down dinner with the rest due partly cos I just sprained my ankle, and the place was kinda far from where I was. It would take me more than 45mins to reach, plus hobbling on an ankle that was starting to hurt. And cos I had packed my swim gear, I just headed to 2nd session of swimming instead. My stamina has improved alot, could swim 5 laps at a go with just a brief stop to catch the breath. Then I did another continuous thing. Found with 32 strokes, I could finish one lap instead of 45 strokes previously. All these meant, I finished 12 laps in 30mins instead of 45mins. Quota reached, I left and showered.
Then I was hungry. Was thinking of what food to eat, then I settled on the Simple Bao Bing, aka chinese popiah, not the fried one. The wrapped one. Dabaoed 4, each $1.40. The chilli is really really power but I only ordered one. Previously too power that eating 2 chilli ones caused me to have a bit of diarrhoea but had to wait cos the Auntie who made it is quite slow. Then went home, ate 2 for dinner. Kinda stoned now. Dont think I am up to doing work now. Just wanna enjoy some personal time, family time, doing simple things like lazing around, updating blogs, share files, rubbing muscle cream for ankle, for sore muscles, drinking a cup of Oolong tea, honey lime. That sort of thing.

Well I just caught a praying mantis that flew into the house and released it outside at the potted plants. That's my good deed for today.
Think later go and play guitar a bit, then sleep. I really really dont want this evening time to end but guess I am feeling quite fatiqued.

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.

Focused on myself and moving forward
Technically, the fact that I am still up at this hour, 12.30am, online and blogging is attempting sucide. Why? Cos tom I would have to wake up in the wee hours of 6.30am for work. Yes, I be ending at my usual time... Its gonna be a LONG, tiring day. Then unreasonable deadlines start appearing cos its the exam season again... Signz
________________________________________
Nevermind that, I will worry about that after I have woken up tomorrow, though technically now is already tomorrow. I headed to swim the second time this week cos this week was too intense. I used Mon and Tue to study for jap test. Think should have passed cos didnt hear from sensei. BUT it was ultra crowded with kids, instructors and parents. After 4 laps, I decided to leave. This week I will have to up the swim session to 3 times. Maybe Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Nevermind that its one after another. Tom is seriously going to be crappy. Dont think I wanna go tom. Then friday have guitar. Jap stopped for 2 weeks.
________________________________________
I ate lunch, reached home. Then after practicing guitar, printing new songs, and practicing those too, I settled down to read the TA book. I was midway through Chapter 10 about Oscillators. Cos I read half last weekend, then only continued today, some of the stuff is lost, vague to me. But I finished that chapter. The next few chapters are about how to plot your own charts, the different types of charts to plot, as well as the Wave Theories. Think for now, I will take my time to dilligently finish. No point rushing through and not understanding. After that fell asleep on the floor with the fan blowing.
Woke up and continued with the other plan for today, which was to clear up my CDs so that I can free up a shelf on my table to put the pile of Annual Reports I had received. Also put all Share-related stuff in that shelf for easy access. I went over to Popular to buy a CD storage. They had 96 and 200 cd storage. In the end I decided to err on the up side and buy the 200 cd one for $21.
What I had seriously forgotten was the sheer number of Cds I had bought previously, especially for Game, Animation soundtrack, including Jpop, Jrock, some Eng cds. When I reached home, I set about taking the CDs out from the cases, put the CD and song sheet, plus also cut out the list of songs to put inside the cd storage. Also organized the Cds I had into sections. The empty cd cases, I set aside, intending to give to Salvation or Recycling. By the time I was finally done, it was already 11.30pm. I had 90 empty cd cases to give away and the CD storage had about 150 cds inside.
I still have a few vcd boxes still lying around cos they were mixed up with the Cds and also 7-8 burnt cds that I am unsure if I still wanna keep. For now, I am putting them aside, just put in the annual report into the shelf and also find a space for the CD storage.
________________________________________
Think the plan for next weekend, depending on whether will be going to Msia for paint ball, I shall clear the top of the shelf so that I can put the cd storage and also create more space on my very very cluttered table. But for now, I am glad to have cleared part of the floor of the room that had a growing pile of annual report on it.
Still have clothes, plus my files, vcds, dvds and even game dvds to clear up from the floor of the room. All of them need space. Need to organize them. But seriously, if you think my cd collection was bad, its nothing compared to the Game dvd collection, animation dvd collection, older vcd collection. I dont even dare to think about how to organzie those.
________________________________________
Logined to key in 'Sell' orders in case market goes up tomorrow cos there is no way I can login tomorrow. Will be kept very very busy. Plus very very tired. So I just key in my orders and just need to wait for sms confirmation.
________________________________________
My dad fell asleep and I had finally access to watch cable tv. Was watching LA ink and am again very impressed with the standard of the tatoos created. IF I am ever getting one, I shall fly all the way there to do it.

Woke up and continued with the other plan for today, which was to clear up my CDs so that I can free up a shelf on my table to put the pile of Annual Reports I had received. Also put all Share-related stuff in that shelf for easy access. I went over to Popular to buy a CD storage. They had 96 and 200 cd storage. In the end I decided to err on the up side and buy the 200 cd one for $21.
What I had seriously forgotten was the sheer number of Cds I had bought previously, especially for Game, Animation soundtrack, including Jpop, Jrock, some Eng cds. When I reached home, I set about taking the CDs out from the cases, put the CD and song sheet, plus also cut out the list of songs to put inside the cd storage. Also organized the Cds I had into sections. The empty cd cases, I set aside, intending to give to Salvation or Recycling. By the time I was finally done, it was already 11.30pm. I had 90 empty cd cases to give away and the CD storage had about 150 cds inside.
I still have a few vcd boxes still lying around cos they were mixed up with the Cds and also 7-8 burnt cds that I am unsure if I still wanna keep. For now, I am putting them aside, just put in the annual report into the shelf and also find a space for the CD storage.

Think the plan for next weekend, depending on whether will be going to Msia for paint ball, I shall clear the top of the shelf so that I can put the cd storage and also create more space on my very very cluttered table. But for now, I am glad to have cleared part of the floor of the room that had a growing pile of annual report on it.
Still have clothes, plus my files, vcds, dvds and even game dvds to clear up from the floor of the room. All of them need space. Need to organize them. But seriously, if you think my cd collection was bad, its nothing compared to the Game dvd collection, animation dvd collection, older vcd collection. I dont even dare to think about how to organzie those.

If Today Was Your Last Day
This is a song that I really fall for when I first heard it. It has very insightful lyrics that really reflect the whole myrid of thoughts that I experienced since feeling fatiqued from work.
If Today Was Your Last Day
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each days a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned
Leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
If today was your last day
Going against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts cause there's no second try
So live it like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your whole life
If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
And would you call old friends you never see
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies
And would you find that one your dreaming of
Swear up and down to god above
That you'll finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark
On ending a broken heart
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
Cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
Cause the hands of time
Are never on your side
If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
And would you call old friends you never see
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies
And would you find that one your dreaming of
Swear up and down to god above
That you'll finally fall in love
If today was your last day.
My life is more meaningful with going for the Guitar class, Jap class and even swimming twice a week. It makes it more enriching, more pro-active than just a passive phase. Also the foray into the Stock market help empower. If I just die the today, there is much fewer regrets. Will try to spend more quality time with family too.
