Trading updates...

Having been updating on my trading status lately... thought it will be good to do a review/ recollection of what i have been doing.

1stly, i am still trading actively, except that I have taken a slightly more laid back approach. With my swim classes going on decently, n me getting more and more confident to extend my coaching work, i approach trading almost like my part time work. The only difference is that I do my "Part time" work on weekdays (5 days almost office hours) n my "Full time" work on weekends (Sat 6hrs, Sun 4 hrs). It helps that i am more relaxed abt trading, I dun stare at the computer anymore... I scan for oppty in the morning, if there is any, gd! If there isnt, I'll come back later. I'll then check on my positions abt every 1 hr. Tat's abt it. I dun shiver in fear when I receive an sms (it could be a Price alert sms sent by my brokerage). I can go able doing my stuff, go to the museum, go for BF, go to the park! how niceeeeeeeeee! I am reminded of why I want to go into trading again! Have more better time mgt on my hand, not glue my eyes to the comp!

2ndly, I am able to do so cos I am so blessed to be enlightened by trading friends to look at trading differently. I have been told to "treat it like a Business" etc... but it's tough. Cos I am 1st a Trader, then a Businesswoman. But being 1st a Trader is not so advantageous to me, cos the Leo Ego n Pride comes in.... big mistake: I want to know that I am Right! & the most frustrating part is this - alot of times I am right abt the direction (buy/sell), but i just cant seem to get the timing of entry right alot of times! So after I get kicked out (Stop loss hit), then i will sit out n wait, then i will see it go in my favour eventually -of cos i m already out of the trade. But it's hard for me to accept "See! i am right!" cos this doesnt pay my bills!

Trade has been sometimes 3 steps forward, 2 steps backward, or 3 steps forward, 4 steps backwards. After 1 year of trading, i am still seeing RED in my trading account. How frustrating can it get!?

3rdly, my trading friends highlighted the importance of being the Businesswoman in this trade. We explored the use of some indicators for more confirmation on timing of entry. Namely the stochastics, Keltner channel and RSI. I must still empathsize this: basics of trading is still  TECHNICAL ANALYSIS , namly Price action (candlesticks pattern, support resistance, HigherHigh, HL, LL, HL etc). That is like the OS of a computer, cannt function without it cos the indicators dun make any sense if u cant read what the charts is telling u!

4th, we also employed a very business approach in our trade management/expectation.
Out of every trade u entered, the probability of getting 5pips or 10pips profit is of cos the highest (due to price movement regardless if the direction is up or down), then probabillity decreases as the number of pips u can expect from the trade. So the decision is analyse the direction, get in the position, get a decent no. of pips out (e.g.20pips or 30pips) for majority of the position u entered (e.g. 60% - 80%  of the lot size entered), leave the rest to ride the trend (since u have done the analysis n direction is right). You could trail the rest of the positions, or u could practise tight Protective stop movement. It's ur choice, ur expectation to handle.

I like to take it tat the bulk of the profit i pocketed 1st is the main Profit, the rest that rode the trend(mayb it will get stopped out prematurely or even hit a Stop Loss) as the Bonus. Generally statistics show that Many small Wins can still cover 1 Big Loss. From the business aspects, I only need to be concern with the Net Profit Win at the end of the day!

5th, my trading policy have alwis been this: Whatever works man! 
Be it u use an expert advisor to help u look out for trades, use price actions, use indicators, use robots etc... at the end of the day, ur account must show GREEN! n showing GREEN is not enough, it must be GREEN enough for u to justify the energy n time u take to do this Business! Else, why do it?!

-----------
So far i am still in the midst of testing it out... i hope this is really the breakthru for my trading... i am so blessed to have truthful friends who highlighte n guide me in this trading journey!

Will report when time is ripe!

2010-11-10- GBPUSD n EURUSD

Had a decent trade today with these USD pairs. Strangely, one  is LONG (GU) n the other SHORT (EU).
2010-11-10-GBPUSD- LONG

2010-11-04 - EURJPY n AUDJPY Long

Had abit of a break earlier part of the week.... relaxed and allowed myself to indulge in abit of Me-time.

Did these two trades yest... closed off the AUDJPY only this morning...

Direction is still long, pairs at near resistance. Never had much confidence in playing the retracement leg  (retracement or reversal is alwis difficult to catch esp at the initial stages of price development).

My sifu once asked me: "Do u know why u always end up trading the retracement leg n not the real move? Cos you always hit urself in the head when u missed the actual move, then when price retraces, u jump into the wagon! n Why do u alwis target so high for Retracement leg? It's hard to determine the potential, grab abit n RUN!" 

I think he is so RIGHT! So these days, in the midst of stablising my trading, I try to avoid the Retracement leg... of cos it could be a Reversal n I missed the BIG move, but - better safe then sorry!
Until i master the art of managing my Target expectation for the retracement leg, then I will venture into it.

Note: All the major pairs have moved alot in the last sessions... breaking above the average daily ranges by 120-150%. I need to be careful n target conservatively , unless there is potential for a longer run.

2010-10-29- GBPUSD Long

Havent been trading well.... was rather lethargic + busy...

Nevertheless, hope this trade will break the spell....
Was a rather decent trade.... =D

2010-10-08-AUDUSD

Had a superb lousy trade.... so lousy that I took 1 weekend to recover & reflect on it (also very busy lah!) =)

Thinking back, so silly of me.... post trade analysis is always straight forward to mind and reflection is crystal clear! Anyway, here is my post trade.... i guess I was too anxious to enter the mkt....

2010-10-08-AUDUSD
-roadmap Long is correct, retracement level wrong. timing wrong.

2010-10-07- GBPUSD - Long

2010-10-07- GBPUSD - Long
-As mentioned, this pair is still trending upflow nicely, hence have been waiting for an oppty aka a BUY SET UP.

- Was rather concerned with the many Red coded news that is coming up yest... esp GBP rate news tend to be very big swings.... hence I decided to adopt a more conservative approach when shifting my SL - dun wanna get whipped for nothing.  News calender from here. I dun take note of all Red-coded news, today I was concerned with the few highlighted.


-Still trying to determine if this trade was Pure Luck!? Asking my trading friends... 
Any comments?

2010-10-05 - EURUSD - Long

Have been waiting for a nice set up on GBPUSD for the past 3 days.... but alas... when price failed to move in my favour.... took me out with spikes.... When it actually happen, I got chickened out! damn!

See my Post Market Analysis

2010-10-05-EURUSD - Long.
-Havent been trading this pair for a while now.... price has moved up too much & little retracement beyong 50%... hence not much confidence. Somehow I spotted a potential yest and went for it. Phew.... can cover some of my losses from the GBPUSD trade.
-Rather straight forward trade.

2010-09-23- AUDJPY -Short

Have been feeling rather lethargic lately... hard to trade... alot on my mind also... work... $$...
The same question keeps popping in my head....: "So what next huh?"
Was also busy with reformatting my computer.... after a possible virus attack of trojan horse from the company's computer, I decided to do a who reset of both my iPhone, Orange MePhone, n my Computer, WangWang... I suffered another 3 days of constipated irritation of not being OPERATIONAL READY. Only to discover that my Webbrowser got hijacked for the 2nd time in my life....

The last time was not a very pleasant experience.... this time round, I was pretty sure which program had caused it.... hence after 1 day of searching for a gd n free anti spyware/ad-ware/coolwebsearch programe (those who are not as Geeky as me may be reading stars already *^&^*%$#%$@#* ), I managed to remove it without having to restore my whole lappy again + i got the same infectious program up n running again! yahhhoooooo!

Anyway, this is my trade last nite.....

2010-09-23- AUDJPY -Short
-I really couldnt see any pattern on most pairs except this pair, at least I know that it's a downtrend. Hence I waited awhile for a SELL set trigger since Set up (H4) was completed.

-Daily Avg Range (AV) for this pair is prob only abt 90, n when my TP2 was hit, AV was already 80+! I took the risk knwing that I shd taken my stop to max profit, n HOPED that TP3 can be hit, else - PS will kick me out at TP2.

-Lucky for me, TP3 was hit! Phew!!

2010-9-15 - EURGBP (analysis)

This is a trade that I should have taken, but while seeing my AUDUSD in the Red and Green zone... I simply couldnt have the conviction. Nevertheless, I use it as an exercise/homework to continue to train myself and hone my skills....

2010-9-15 - EURGBP (short)



2010-9-15 -AUDUSD - Long (2 attempts)

Yes, i havent been trading well and much lately...

Rather busy at the centre with the main teacher away for Hari Raya celebration,  i have been bogged down by little children but i am still having fun with them! they are the sweetest children one can have!

Market finally reacted and broke out of the consolidation for most pairs... thanks to BOJ announcement too! Gosh... the Yen pairs just shoot up, without losing steam for 2 days straight.... Bo bian, have too look for other pairs to trade...

Here goes:
2010-9-15 -AUDUSD - Long (1st attempt - failed)


2010-9-15 -AUDUSD - Long (2nd attempt - Scaled out bits)

There are several other pairs I would have traded... but my lack of conviction caused me to give the trades a miss.... namely the EURGBP (Short) and GBPUSD (long)... in the end, chose AUDUSD instead, which failed to move up much...

Alas, the life of a Trader is full of more Downs then Ups!
But hey! I love Downs.... when it's all DOWN and RED, sentiments are so weak that i can SHORT better!

2010-9-10 -EURJPY -SHORT (failed)

Just yest I met up with my trading friend, H. Being a seasoned full time trader of 5 years, he reminded me that Trading is very diminishing on ur self esteem... cos u are constantly proved tat u are wrong thru lost/fail trades... out of 10 trades, expect a norm of 7 losses and 3 wins... the impt thing abt surviving is to ensure that the $ value for all the 3 wins still surpass the total of 7 losses....

So, the odds are against me.... Mr.market will keep telling me tat I am wrong... but I have to self motivate and keep going!

2010-9-8 - NZDUSD - Long

Nothing to trade lately:
1) as too busy at centre,
2) too confused by mkt movement,
3) missed all the major runs... hence bo bian- have to wait for the next set up.

Nevertheless, there are alwis other things to trade, importantly must set the right expectations...
for eg. today. After scanning thru all the major pairs, gota wait for a long time n it's not happening yet.... i looked at the minor pairs and try to see if i can spot a set up for sm pips....

Bingo, NZDUSD. Usually i like to trade this pair when mkt is uncertain. this pair is slowly to react to the adverse news.... giving a new trader like myself some time to process the infor.... bo bian, my trading processor is 486 only!

Since the avg daily range for this pair is only abt 70pips.... if I can grab some 50 pips from this pair, it's considered quite gd liao. =)

Here goes:
2010-9-8 - NZDUSD - Long

31-08-2010- GBPUSD n AUDUSD Long

Attempted to go LONG on these two pairs.... timing was not right I guess.... failed trades....
Any comments anyone?

31-08-2010- GBPUSD Long


31-08-2010- AUDUSD Long


30-8-2010-AUDUSD-Long n EURJPY Post Market Analysis

After failed trade today.... hmmmm mkt is still unsure or am I unsure?!
Hahha!
Anyway, must still continue to do my work.... so diligence must not be compromised!

30-8-2010-AUDUSD-Long
-Price stalled for too long for comfy, check with other pairs also heading sound fiercely... decided to MC this trade b4 too late. Glad for the decision.
-Market was just not ready to move up yet.
-However, was not able to see the SELL set up for this pair... why so? hmmmm - cos road map is LONG!! Nevertheless, missed oppty is better than Wrong oppty!  



30-8-2010- EURJPY - POST MARKET ANALYSIS
- Have been trying to short this pair since last week but failed miserably.... price just not ready to move down despite being in a knwn BEAR FLAG. Check with my Sifu, price has hit a KEY Support, if closed above it, may do more retracement b4 attempting again...
-Yet I missed it when the 200+pips move came in yest.... ought to slap myself in the face. but on Hindsight n doing this Post Mkt Analysis.... knowing my style of trading, I will probably miss the wagon also lah. Not fast enough to jump in!

27-08-2010-GBPUSD- LONG

Is it time to go LONG already?

Havent been trading this pair for the past week till today... looking at the charts, most pairs are pretty much unsure of where to go....

mainly cos they have already tested the 1st bound (H4) ...so are they going to test the 2nd bound too? Of which is really tested and succeeded... then the D1 trend of Upflow (for most pairs - particularly GBPUSD) will resume.

So it's rather crucial now... my FX sifu alerted us that some pairs are start to show signs of resuming upflow... reason, they have been broke Key Supports and now went back up above Key Supports... most USD Pairs show signs of this.... with an ugly Double bottom on H4 (neckline is the 1st bound)....

Hence, I was looking for a possibly BUY set up for GBPUSD... see my fail trade below...
27-08-2010-GBPUSD- LONG
-Mayb my entry was too early... hmmm...

New log: Some losses to kick me for being complacent!

Started my new Trade Log 6 (6th cycles of 30 trades).... had some losses to kick me back to earth...
Kick myself for being too complacent, wrong entries and all...

The market is not too clear lately.... mkt has been in a consolidation zone, not to straight forward Horizontal zone type, but in the form of Wedges, Triangles or just random consolidation.... direction not so clear now esp when some critical levels were broken lately... price seemed unsure of where to go....

25-08-2010-AUDUSD-SHORT
-Wrong entry (see notes)
-Was not mentally strong enough to attempt 2nd time...
Alas! the 2nd time was the correct move!


25-08-2010-EURUSD-SHORT (1st attempt)

23 to 24-08-2010 EURUSD - SHORT

As promised, my EU trade is finally closed. Below is the result:

23 to 24-08-2010 EURUSD - SHORT


Think I was rather lucky to escape the spike up after the news.... I closed it off just 5 mins b4 news as I was too sick to monitor this trade....

Conclusion after 30 trades...

I concluded my 30th trade for the 5 cycle... finally...
Alot has changed for this trade log.... i went thru a string of losses.... and a run of wins...
most imptly i have learnt this....
My success rate/ratio may be 50% only.... but as long as my wins (avg dollar win) are more than my lossess (avg dollar lost).... I am doing fine!!!

Please see this Bar chart for my % return on my balance equity(total in my account). It's very little as I only risk an avg of 3-5%.



Wish me luck when I start onto my 6th cycle of 30 trades...

23 to 24-08-2010 EURJPY - SHORT Post Analysis

I have been avoiding trading the Yen Pair for a while now.. esp EJ which used to be my fav... my darling and also my enemy! hahah!

Anyway, after it finally broke outa the consolidation descending Wedge, i decided to go for it & the EU... fortunately and unfortunately, the EJ trade did well... but the EU is still stuck in position till now...  puiz puiz! Anyway, will post that once my position is closed....

Now.... for EJ....

16 n 17-08-2010 GBPUSD, 16to17-08-2010 EURUSD - LONG

These trades were very trying.... i guess mkt is unsure of direction again n going into consolidation. Until clear sign shows.... be conservative!!

16-08-2010 GBPUSD LONG
-1st try, got away with some pips. mkt was not ready to showhand! 

17-08-2010 GBPUSD - LONG
-2nd try, mkt finally showed... but it was trying really hard... thereafter, mkt was unsure.
I m thankful i got away with a little bit. =D

Btw, mkt finally SHOW ALL HANDS n FEET on 18th... i was not free to trade... wasted! wuahah!

16to17-08-2010 EURUSD - LONG
-Very tough trade... mkt not ready.... this trade was held overnite to much anguish!
-Finally decided to close it off!

13-08-2010 EURUSD n NZDUSD - SHORT

Happy with the 2 trades i did last nite.... though they were rather long trades... which is not really a gd sign. the fact that i have:
1) Protected some $$ in my pocket,
2) Shifted the Stop loss to my entry price (which means I cfm make $$ liao, just whether I can have more),
3) I have set SMS alerts to informed me in case price fall or rise to a level i set,
4) I have my Orange MePhone to monitor the mkt!  =)

But Alas, I was coaching swimming + having dinner with my adult students on Friday! I was a little concerned abt the mkt movement, esp when it's a Friday & most wanna close shop early!!

I am human afterall, besides making money, i wan to knw that I AM RIGHT abt the mkt!!! wuahah! so if I make more $$, means I am RIGHT!! Hear the Leo Woman ROOOOOOAaaaarrr!!! Wuahah!

 ok! here goes!

13-08-2010- EURUSD - SHORT
This pair has been rather challenging to trade with all the news, + the level it is at now!

13-08-2010-NZDUSD - SHORT
One of my fav pairs to trade whenever I have another open position.... reason: it's less volatile (of cos lesser potential rewards also lah)

Wish me the best for the next week.... hope to cont. the decent work in trading!! 
May I alwis be Pips-ful!! =D

12-08-2010 GBPUSD n NZDUSD - SHORT

Did 2 trades today... was rather pleased with the results...

I am very thankful for my current boss cum friend, Wendy. For I am able to focus on the student care n not monitor my trades too anxiously n over kiasu-ly...that had proved to be rather costly many times...

So usually i will go into the centre earlier than required... set up my lappy... do my analysis of the mkt... by then it will be abt the time I am supposed to start work....
leave lappy on... occassionally take a glance at it... do my other student care centre work (this helps me to not enter too anxiously or eagerly)... if i have decided to enter a position, i will set the alarm alerts n continue to do my work... quick glance at it every once a while....mayb e very 15-30mins once....

See my 2 trades.... sifu says it's a gd trade & he wld have entered it exactly how i did.... so i am very pleased to have zero-ed my enter with his.... still need to work on the way i manage my trades though!






Both were decent winning trades.... happy =)

Wish me the BEST!

Trading in Green.... Trading in Red....

Recently smone asked me: "How is trading like... I alwis read abt those Newspaper advers abt Forex Courses... LOCK IN PROFIT... only 15mins a day... become Financially Free! Is it true?"

I took a rather deep breath... swallowed hard... before i drop the bomb on her...

"It's tough like shit!"

Maybe I should be less straight forward....  But the truth is this...
Somehow what I experienced on Friday was something familiar... like I was sailing on a Patrol...

I have never really slept when I was sailing during a Patrol duty. I merely rested... whenever I can feel a sudden rav in the ship's engine (my cabin is in the lower deck u see), I will make a call up the bridge (where the guys are on duty keeping watch)... I will just ask if everything is ok, sudden movements usually dun mean good news... mayb to avoid some traffic, to get away from traffic etc. - esp at nite (there are just so many unlit little sampans out fishing n they come out in gangs, trawling their nets along the way... these can get caught in the propellers etc.

Anyway, my point is this... I NEVER sleep onboard. Last friday, I had a Open trade position, it is in the Greens ($$$+ve)... but I wanna get more since I am already in it. i had to set alarms at 1, 2, 3 and 3.45am (close US mkt closes at 4am SIN n i wanna close it b4 the weekend)... so in the midst of my blurr-ness... I manual closed  my position. Meaning: I pocketed the $$$$, but there is a possibility that I can Pocket More if I didnt Blur Blur-ly close it off prematurely!

Before I closed off my position, I merely REST-ed... couldnt really sleep actually.... cos I was subconsciously thinking abt my position. My mind is still re-enacting the procedures, the entry, the exit, the charts n Candles etc....
I have been asked many times: "Is Trading Stressful?!"
My reply will alwis be: "You BET!"

I woke up on Saturday morning feeling rather tired but pleased with my winning trade... I dun blog much abt winning trades if you notice, cos they are fewer n of cos, i am alittle Pan-Dang, dun wanna break the M-A-G-I-C...


Anyway, I just wanna say that I really LOVE my Orange MePhone! YAY! So much convenience! Except that Battery-Not-Enough! Hahah!

What have I been busy with?

Havent have time to blog the past week... I havent even got time to sleep!

Today I woke as usual ard 7am, fed my babies, LS, went back to sleep, in btw woke up reply smses, doze in & outa dreamland till 1.30pm- dragged meself outa bed! I guess this is what they call  "恶补"
"-Revengefully", "- Payback/return"! I need to payback my sleep deficit!!!

Seriously, what have i been busy with?
Doing these:


It's damn chim... took me a few hrs just to analysis 1 chart.... 2 -3 hrs bah... & i ended up eating into my sleeping hrs... u know me, I need 6hrs survive, 7hrs to not be cranky, 8hrs to be in my prettiest mood.... so 5-6hrs each nite for the past week is SOOOooooo damn not enough!!

Anyway, i survived... that's y i needed the more than 12hrs sleep today! Wuahahah! so shiok! this record was held too long ago! =D

In the midst of doing all these, i managed to find myself a few new working "colleagues", running buddies... all in the name of doing what we wanna do in our lives... we are taking the plunge many feared to do so.... wish all of us luck man!!

God bless all of us!

A Trader's Prayer

Everyone, keep me in ur prayers... I spent the past week worrying abt my future, my work, $ mainly. So much so that i was not even motivated to train, skipped training, purposing sleeping in later than usual, giving myself 1 million n 1 reason to skip training or leaving the house.

Hope my work will be smooth going, fingers crossed...  traded 2 days this week liao... so far it's rated decent or mayb even gd. The thing abt trading is this. it's never abt money.... cos if I am right, money is just a by-product of the method I used. the tricky part is this, method is not 100%, in fact, it's probably only abt 5%. Strange it may sound, but it's 95% psychological... 

I alwis believe there is no fool proof method/strategy to do trading, it's really individual's style. If trading can be 100% mechanical, human would have come up with a system or software, auto trade, why do we still need analysts, bankers, brokers, trader to manual do the work?

Analysis is Psychological, market forces is driven by human sentiment. We all read recently that Sterling Pound (GBP) is at the 1 yrs' low. Sentiment is THROW all the pounds that u are holding of cos!! No 1 wants to hang on to a sinking boat! Technically, it's only 1yrs low - it simply means that 13 mths ago, this was not the case. Is Pound really weak Fundamentally? No, but still it will drop like crazy. This is FEAR.

Same thing as New Highs in the market.  U BELIEVE it will go higher... U BUY more cos this is the market sentiment, but what happened to the possible BUBBLE BURST? Still people worry and consider abt it, but majority still BUY! This is GREED.

Fear n greed drives the Market, not fundamentals.As a trader, I dun wanna care abt fundamentals. I only wanna know what do every one feel & i will hop onto the same wagon going towards the General direction! Dun swim against the current in other words! 

On the other hand, I must not get too sentimental... esp with company stocks... i may knw that this company is very gd etc, fundamentals etc, good ratings, earnings, P/E etc. But what really matters is whether the chart is nice looking or not! So what if the chart pattern is not very nice? Drop it! U may have heard this"but but.... fundamentals very gd leh! Sure will go up 1!" Who can guarantee? I dun  care even what the company does etc. Cos if the chart is nt nice, cfm the company not gd! If the chart is good looking, cfm the company gd - even if I dun know WTF the company does! The chart reveals the Market sentiments of the company already! Dun need fundamentals!
Any traders out there? Share with me what u think leh!?!

-----

God, hear my prayers! =D

Life is Good!

Come back from jog, my trade got hit. A gd hit for the target I set. Though may be able to get more, I am satisfied with the results n correct analysis! Most imptly is analysis, when analysis is correct... winning is a just by-product or result! Happy happy! More to come for me pls!

Well, at least things are back to norm, at least for me - emotionally n physically!


Feeling very good now... lalala! =D

Workstation envy...

Recently have been in close contact with my "colleague" Rick.
Well, since he is based in Melbourne, AUS, we cant meet up for kopi or anything.

Hav been learning from him... new methods... new system... it's like distance learning! Wau, not easy lah!

Esp when u are looking at charts like these...
hard to explain things... thank goodness for MSN!


Starry said OMG! when I showed her.... she asked if I look at this everyday.. I corrected her & said I look at THESE everyday.... 1 currency has abt 4 such charts, 8 currency = 32 charts... + other method (8 more charts).... + indices + global + commodities charts.... easily abt <50 charts?! Of cos some is just glance lah!

My trainer alwis joke that Trading is an ART, never a SCIENCE....

Artists, musicians etc do well in Trading - cos "they see what is on the chart...go by psychology & feeling, gut feel & enter to trade fast!".

Engineers, accountants etc make up the minority of the successful ones, cos "they will see what they want to see, do lotsa calculations etc.... then miss the boat liao!"

Anyway, Rick sent me these photos of his workstation at home... his house is now 2 times of his flat in Singapore n of cos, garden aside!

So envious lah!

The 1st qn I had for him:
"GOsh.... how many sticky tape dispenser do u need siah!?!"
His reply:
"Piang, of all the things in the room, u only noticed THAT!?"

Mine:
"I'm a Woman, I go for the Details! Wuahaha!"

Btw, his monitors are size 26", the old TV in my room is only 21" and the TV that the whole family watches is only 25"! So damn envious lah!


Now I am embarrassed to show him my workstation... but I'll show u! Wuahaha!

It's just me and 旺旺... for now...

Actually, I think i only hope to upgrade to a 32" LCD TV,
then I can plug my lappy to it for work!
That way, when I watch *Twilight - New Moon* again on my computer...
Jacobs Black's 6 packs will be BOOMZ!  kekek!

Bleah....心情欠甲!

Today's quite chuiz... after losing $$ (probably price of a 1.5 X LOEWE Wallet), I feel damn frustrated at work!

I could have used the $$ for many things in my list!
-Indoor trainer (bike)
-Swimming lessons
-Holidays
-Dresses n nice clothes
-Running shoes
-New HP
-Etc.... the list goes on!
Argh!

Enough is ENOUGH! I need to get outa house!

went for my jog... CHuiz...mayb lousy mood also lah + 1st return training for transition.... struggled quite abit to complete 8km in 53:30 (6.68mins/km).... Considering the fact that I was panting quite abit...it means CHUIZ... it means I was rather Kaput for this set... shagged out... mayb it was "transitional", mayb it was my 心情欠甲 (Mood is less of Ace). Dun care lah!
