Riding the Bicycle

was reading this blog article when some nostalgic feelings came to me

http://lifelongfreedom.blogspot.com/2009/12/forget-about-achieving-financial.html

im quite fortunate in the sense that i learn things adequately fast

and thus the adaptability. for bicycle i kinda get it at first go

which is something i could be proud of.

While some of my friends still arent good at cycling,

i managed to get rid of the 4 wheels by the first few minutes

and within days i cycle with 1 hand at high spd

No falls, apart from accidents rather.

Nowadays i love cycling at East Coast park, if any

feeling the wind, with free hand cycling~ is just great

with that bit of effort, i could almost stand freehanded at one point

reflecting back, maybe that was not the best of preparations for life

which indeed i have the genius in me, which i believe all along i have,

i lacked that potential to unlock the true genius in me, which is the ability to improvise

I'm at soccer for about 1 1/2 years now, with it targetted as my main stream

and in investment, i believe i have learnt more with some money as price

so, no loss no gain, or rather, lose in order to win.

wins here offset a bit off losses there.

I foresee a new year with both sides winning more than losing

this after all the lessons of trying contra, shortsell, buying long,

buying small, buying big, etc etc. (CFD next)

my eyes simply brightened at these "blind spots" and "internal feelings control"

This incoming year will be the year of good side income,

(i would'nt call them passive income just yet)

At the least, I will earn enough to cover 1 year worth of sch fees

but soon, i will be able to say gambling and yes to investment

Investing is when you know what you are doing, and are prepared for it

Huat Ar~~~

iphone ftw~

Bought i-phone last fryday.
for the relative costs paid, i believe its a bargain buy
1) its cheaper in lump sum than my previous phone
2) its a whole lot faster and better and customizable
3) i would'nt mind pay a bit more for a whole lot more

value for money :)

nw to customize my phone, must find apps to
1) zoom the bloody camera
2) be able to customize my ringtone to my fav music!
3) what else...

A Tough yet Fruitful Journey

I guess this is my life, my struggle
my life's struggle. no way i will give up
i foresee many more weekends burnt at home
simply trying to rest whatever's left of the tired soul in me

i guess its simply because i want to balance a lot of things
time is indeed precious!!
i have to balance it between work/studies/play/rest/others
and doing it solo requires much strength too..

maybe thats the reason why i want to gather a grp in Uni
capable of fun outings as well as the dulls like.. -_- studies.
the part-time uni pathway is lonely enough, so cold, so distant
i believe we could do well to share & learn from each other
but its not easy either.

i have some nice plans for the future in mind ..
yes i bet many of my friends will say "plan so much for what?"
and they deem this to be my weakness while im considered detailed
well actually, "plan so much then if die also like that.."
on this mentality, i have another take on it..

i would say: "im not dead yet so i plan while i am still alive, lah"
"when things don't go according to plan, then we shall assess the situation"
"but anyway i'll do my part and plan, so even if i cross road kena car bang"
"no regrets, cuz i have had my plans" =)

Summary

Short-term Goals:
1) Save as much as i can. revising minimum to at least $800 per month
2) Read as much books as i can. being a Slow reader, a target of 3 bks by May 2010
3) Maintain volunteer work with NKF, dropping Renci side though (hard to maintain)
4) Stocks case-studies, from Poems. (30mins-1hr) Once a week
5) From start of yr 2010, study on every weekend (one of the days)

Mid-term Goals
1) Max of 2 yrs at Orange job. To change job to Banking industry related
(need to start accumulating related experience..)
2) 10k net profit by 31st Dec 2010
3) an overseas trip next year - R & R


Lets hope i will not fall short of the targets i set myself. i have faith

i hate sch fees!

Lets hope i will get fruitful results, PLUS
i still have enough balance in my sch fees loan account to pay 2nd yr
10k initial study loan - minus 1st year payements
im left with 5.2k++ in the "loan account" after abt 7 mths of repayment
if 1st yr exam fees are around 2.2k. i'll be left with around 3k
3k+ about 6 mths more repayment before 2nd year payment
i should end up with around 4.2-4.4k in e loan account by May

hopefully i can pay off the 2nd year initial payment w/o hard cash
so i can have enought available to really start investing.
(expect that by then i will be VERY adequate enough in soccer system as well as stocks)

shall see lol

Prayers in silence

received a text sms which made me smile ytd
its from my elder sis! good update from her
im relieved to know about it =)
yeah im glad she is fine. My prayers for her have indeed gone well

hmm, im still a freethinker. but i guess im an flexi freethinker
from time to time, in fact often, in such times, i pray for those close to me,
my sister is a devoted Christian. i pray for her, believe in what she believe in
whether it happens for me or not i do not question,
but as long as my prayers are sent through to God, their god in view, i will be contented

guess this is my freestyle freethinker thinking all the way =/

anyway, glad to know my Sis is fine ^^
