Woke up at 6.30am, but lazed in bed.. have been feeling rather lethargic, probably becos a bit grumpy from the twisted ankle... also, havent been sleeping well the past 2 nites...
actually wanna sleep in, weather was sooo nice... rainy... but forced myself to get outa bed.... gota reserve my annual leave for the festive seasons, else Ms Ng will get angry! Also, FX Soya Pte Ltd still have operating expenses to pay off!
Well, I got ready my cuppa hot Earl Grey & set to work...
1st, read the emails from my fellow FX "colleagues".....
Ok, must understand this. When I go for a course, I usually dun tok to pple 1, shy shy mind my own biz... finish the course, go back... though it was a 3 days refresher course & we see the similar faces.... I eat lunch n dinner on my own.... tea break go toilet hide, so I dun have to make small tok with any1.
So...it's funny how pple remb me....
"Are u the one who asked this question XXXxblah blah...."
WOW....i dun pay much attention to pple's face who ask question, not to mention their names cos we never have to self intro ourselves...
but we see each other's postings in the trading forum... our success or failure in our trades..... & we only know them by trader's name n batch number.... that's abt it....
Of cos there will be pple who wanna make "friends" cos they think that u are gd in ur trade n wanna learn ur way.... not sincerely make friends.... but the thing is,I am not even gd at it...yet... mayb cos generally i'm quite active in the forum... cos I am free mah, full time doing FX....
Ok, some possible reasons pple wanna befriend me:
1) they kinda figured that I am a full time trader... & they are one too!
2) Doing this full time can get lonely... I response to email very quickly these days... cos they prompt me when I am online and Duh! I am online all the time these days.. ok,day time lah!
3) I always joke with my fellow FX full time traders, we get Lonely n sometimes Looney... maybe they were getting Looney?
1 of my FX friends, Rick, calls himself the CEO of FX Rick Pte Ltd. He says that we are like colleagues now! Hahah! He is very thankful to his CFO (wife) supports him in his pursue as a Full time trader. He used to work for Hyflux Waters... last position Asst Vice President of Bix Devt... (Say: "WOW!"). today, he resides in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife, 2 kids & he trades from home full time since Jun this year. At the point of writing this blog, he's abt to prepare to cook dinner for his family, after finally doing some gardening with a nice Xmas tree...
Another friend, Nick, coincidentally is the same age as me, stays in the east too, attended the same Polytechnic and still occassionally goes to our old sch to swim... threw in the towel in Aug. He was working in the IT industry after uni graduation, holding a well paid job... but decided to rough it out like me, "do it or die" mentally...cool! I clique well with him...
Thru the forum, I also got to know Vinc, who's in his 50s, semi retired... he's probably in Aus, Melbourne, now, spending time with his 2 boys (1 studying, 1 married n working there) and wife. He's the guru of us all havent done this for a while already. Nice guy, very fatherly figure!
Today, there's Clim. Clim was the one who asked if I am the one who posed the XXX question during the refresher course. He told me he was from the same course as me n calls me "Chocolate Soya bean". So I guess, he dun meet alot of girls who are dark like me......oh, & small world, he knows my FX trainer friend, AT also! He asked if we were old flame when I told him that AT and I know each other for a while liao. hahah! Havent seen him in person yet though.... msn pic is too small! hahha!
So total, these are the new 4 friends that I made since like ....last friday? that's an average of 1 per work day... not too bad... but do I really wan so many "friends"? which one of them are friends - really?
Uncanny, but FX trading seemed less lonely now.... but still it can be looney....
Sitting in the living room, raining cats n dogs outside, my kitties are snoozing like there's no tmr.... & me with a sore ankle.... my back is breaking from the long duration of sitting down... but hey!
I made some Mock $$ today.... gd record... =) happy! hard work paid off...more to come pls!
107 + 126 = 233 alone today! Thou fake $$, still happy!! Yay! finally broke 3 figure gain!
Tally for the week: 7 + 22+ 48 + 233 = 310pips this week for 4 days of working.... YAHOO!
My prayers for today...
*God, please help me to be more Patient with me trades... help me to be brave and take on the responsibilities of tmr to come... do not deliver me to evil greed... Amen!*
