Not a good start to the week

Lost a little in my new office, not an auspicious start but then, confidence is there that this will turn out to be a good week and good month still.

Had a large player on the Osaka market, he was basically controlling it with large volume (1000) deals... gave up trying to guess what he wanted to do after a while....

Hope for a better afternoon...:)

Sunday was errand day

Woke real early, had a ok breakfast with good company (my wife) and run around to settle errands...

Did have an interesting few hours at Mind Cafe @ Boat Quay, Singapore, a gaming cafe where people gather to play board games... learnt a few new games of which the most interesting will probably be Monopoly Deal... hehe... maybe the reason I liked it was that I excelled at it.... won twice...:p

Life's question

Wifey brought something up which was a recurring topic when we saw the news at 11 plus. There was a segment on the less fortunate and how a program was sleeping them and how there were many good hearted Singaporeans out there.

The question was not the kindheartedness of Singaporeans which I personally feel is there, simply that it usually requires some stimulus to awaken us. The point of view of wifey was that the unfortunate in question should not have been brought into this world at all cos it would just cause suffering to all around. That's where I am usually in disagreement with my other half. I am simply pro-life, I believe that all life is there for a reason and we should bring them into this world, there's no better or worse being, all have the potential for greatness despite their disabilities at times. Wifey was much more pragmatic, she feels that if we know a child has some shortcomings, we should not bring them into this world to suffer or bring suffering to those around as well.....

There are merits in that I guess, but I am simply a romantic in believing in hope in all things... No right or wrong in this, just differing points of views......... :-)

Weekend

Yesterday afternoon was good, recovered quite a lot of lost ground on my trading after discovering my mistake.

Shifted office and left earlier for dinner as it was a friday, stayed out fairly late but enjoyed myself, except for an injured thumb nail (hates needless carelessness... :( )

Sat was a sleep in day, rested but did not feel enough, met up with wifey and wanted to catch a movie as it's been a month since we watched something (last show was Megamind which was unsatisfactory), was hoping to catch Harry Potter before it ended, however, we were in the wrong place and wrong time, only shaw was still showing and we were at Suntec Eng wah, anyway it was 9 plus so too late.

Unpleasant incident at G2000 as well (service staff was really hopeless/ignoring) so not much mood....

Went back early to watch TV on saturday night... hehe, a luxury not often done on the tired and busy weekdays.

Morning Trade -- SQ

Wow... lost this morning but saw what SQ (Special Quotation) means to the market, really was quite crazy for a few minutes.

Also watched some video of my trades and realise some mistakes, hope to improve...

Life's random thots

Decided to start tweeting from yesterday on at least 1 saying which I should observe.

Today's was on having a goal in life....

Thinking about it, most people I know go thru life without them and have no idea what they want out of life. I think we are all passer-bys in life, thought that I have things figured out and should set clearly what I want but as I write this, my goals seem to be all of a sudden so transient. And the more I think about it, I realised that it's not really my goal which is transient but life itself which is transient, so what if we decided to get rich, decided to buy something for a short term goal, or decided to craft a career for a longer term goal etc... even if we decide to be the best at something and strive towards that, at the end of day, we are still going to move on....

Sad thoughts but I guess, it really is the experience of life which counts rather than the achievements we have at the end of the day.
