Obsessed
I think I am supposed to write about something else but I cannot remember what was it I wanted to write.
Anyway I have been binging on YouTube videos on Chinese reality shows, mainly those relating to produce 101 china girls.
Kinda interesting to watch certain episodes, and see how they develop themselves and their personal life.
I watched a matching show two weeks back and it was great. Couldn't stop watching it (2 hours per episode). An happy that the two guys I like end up with the girls they were chasing.

Am getting my life back on track, did some running and meditation today. Now need to read for 30-60m and study trading.

Brief history of Humankind (spoilers)
I will elaborate on what I think about the book. The book starts of discussing about the general history of humankind, specifically, the Homo sapiens, how it manage to survive and conquer the other similar Homo species, even though it is not the strongest physically. And humans are so good at hunting that they caused the extinction of some large mammals.
After that, it talks about the revolutions that led us to where we are now. The Cognitive Revolution: where Homo sapiens learn more about the world, communication and writing.
The Agricultural Revolution: where "we" started to settle in a location and learn to grow our own food instead of constantly hunting and moving about, and how our body and mind started to evolve/change due to this. Our diet used to be a variety of food (whatever we can hunt/ gather/ forage) vs now where it is more constant of the same type of food (growing the same rice/ corn year in, year out). And, instead of living free without worry, now we are constantly thinking about the next harvest, whether it will be good or bad. Without the Agricultural Rev, we will not have the size of the population as we have now. The hunting-gathering period requires nimble and small pack of humans, does not cater to big group.
As part of the growth, there is more rules and protection required. Rules to ensure nobody steals and protection from other people invading and stealing the village's food. Here is where the various empires begin to emerge, along with 'imagined order', new languages (mathematics) and taxes.
Human created their own internal hierarchy
The "unification" of humankind was through three factors: monetary, imperialism and religion.
Imperialism, through time, converts locals into believing they are part of the empire. Instead of recognising themselves as their local identify and culture, they adopted the culture and practices of the empire who conquered them (that they very likely hated at the start of colonisation)
Religion also gather people who are outside a community to unite under the same purpose. Religion also includes communism and capitalism.
Scientific Revolution: An evergrowing feedback loop. with resources, you do research whereby new discoveries allow the country to develop powerful weaponry to increase their power. Increased in power to conquer more countries leads to more resources. This is also the period where human start to develop a questioning mind (compared to earlier when they accept what is taught by their respective religion)
As humans are curious creature, we started to do more exploration and research. Through exploration, they are able to find new lands to conquer. By conquering, it promises them more resources for trading to increase their wealth (capitalism in play), all these are done at the expense of the local native tribes/ empires
Industrial Revolution: access to more energy and manpower than ever before --> leading to parabolic growth in economy (production). Have we actually consider the livelihood of the chickens in the production line? It seems that instead of treating slaves poorly, we are treating the cattles and chickens poorly for our consumption (happiness?). It also talks about consumerism as the new culture/religion - making us buy more and more products in the market (enriching the big companies - ie the new empires)
The book briefly talks about how the world is now more peaceful than before, where based on a percentage count, the death rate through war/crime is higher then compared to the present. I disagree to some extent on this comparison because there are many more people/human now than before, but I think it makes sense as there are less wars these days compared to the medieval times etc.
Happiness - after all that human have achieved, are we really happy? How do we measure our progress? We should be happier than the people who have lived 10,000yrs ago, but are we? We have develop chemical solution to maintain the happiness level (Prozac). But the problem we realised is that happiness is never permanent. Buddhist teach us to contentment, to accept life as is. There is bound to be ups and downs in life, so the solution is we should not chase the ups and accept the downs. We should reduce our pursuit for happiness (extrinsic or intrinsic).
The books end with talking about human acting as life creator and consider its ethics and morality. Although we are now able to use technology to cure many diseases and provide replacement limbs for many people (arms, legs), we are also able to create new life in the lab. What are the consideration we should take when we are making the decision whether to create a new life/species?

Replacing my monitor
I received my 43inch monitor but there was a problem with it. I need to get it replaced at puchong and preferably on the same day. The shop closes at 10pm. I asked Ccw and cm but they both can't make it at the time I want.
I scroll down on my WhatsApp and I found Anna. I recalled she telling me that she got no plans for the night so I asked her this:
"This is weird but are you free now? I need a hand to help me carry a monitor to a shop in puchong to do replacement." she said OK. And FYI, Anna is a Tinder match that I've just met once (first time on Tuesday this week).
Hahaha. Anyway I got it replaced and we went to murni for supper. Talked about stuff family etc and we ended up having an ideal dating app that we both think it might sell! #exciting!
Dropped her home and reached home around 1+? Fixed my monitor and just crashed on the chair.

MARRIAGE.
I dreamt a mix of things, but there is a life lesson to it. I was getting married to someone, someone that I am OK with, but I do not love. When we are signing the paper, I look at my partner, and I was like.. What? Is her? Why am I marrying her? Oh no, I do not have many things to talk to her. I do not even like her that much. Why did I say yes in the first place, or Why did I make such proposal?!?
I got so freak out from it.And I felt at that time it was too late to say no to the wedding. I was thinking to myself, maybe we can carry on and I can get a divorce later. It is no big deal, quite normal these days. Or don't even need to divorce, just life your own respective life.
And I woke up. I realise, WOW.I am given a second chance. haha. Do not do this. Must blog about it to keep a reminder.

Profit Thursday with caveat
Caveat because I did two things which I should not have done if I have good discipline.
1) I moved my SL lower for LRCX to prevent from the GAP DROP. :( Now I am holding a stock at loss over $200. If it is a short term thing, (which is what I am expecting, hence the move down, then I am okay). I should target to reduce loss, not to profit already
2) FKLI holding overnight. Should have take profit, but left two contracts open. Lets' see if it can survive today's drop.

Avengers dream.
I am part of Avengers. There is an army fighting lady, there is spiderman, there is a Warhammer, winter soldier, hulk?
And we fight against thanos and emperor palpatine
There is another ordinary guy who has powers.
Anyway scenes that I rmb:
1) Thanos become super big size and everyone is running away. He manage to throw a chain on spider and wrapped ard him. He them fall lor. Thanos caught him and pass him to a civilian. She tried to bite test him... When spidey came out, he has a tube behind him. Seems like thanos is inserting a bug into the spidey to mind control him.
2).the black army girl also got mind controlled already but I don't rmb how
3) an ant like human barge into a condo unit of one of the super hero , the ordinary guy who has power but not super strength. The ant tried to attack his mum but he managed to defend her. As they were wrestling, the ant guy uses his face with tentacles to attack the hero's face, twice. As the ant about to mind control the guy, the guy's mum manage to whack it from behind and he ran away.
4) staircase, condo unit need to run down the staircase. Kept switching the staircase to avoid detection. The enemy ant unit respawned and was coming up the staircase. Managed to switchn3 staircases in the end and ended up in a place near bukit bintang / sg way
5) managed to run away from scene 3, trying to catch MRT in kl city center. As I was abt to go up the staircase (the mrt here is elevated). But I kept hearing emperor palpatines voice. Later, I can see he is everywhere. I tried to approach and confront him but he was playing with me. He just turn away or act like he can't see me.
6) we are just chilling in my room. And I was testing the black army girl with some questions to see if she really know me but then I woke up.

Objective for post course : set a focus and go for it. Do not deviate.

Monday: updated
KLCI - normally we are not advised to hold trades overnight, so this time I am holding overnight. Let's see if I will learn the lesson the hard way, or not.
But even if it works ie I profit, I should not do this often.
Why this I do it in the first place? tried to exit but I could exit at the right price and I believe the Malaysia market should be still positive (Then again, the advice is do not assume anything)
--> Update - the market dropped the next two days (sold at 182x, making a loss of RM2k). Lesson learn yet? this is compare to a few hundred ringgit loss. :)
US:-
took profit for MU (because it fell to my SL) and partial profit for ZTS.
got in to NVDA again at a lower price (which by practice I should not get into the same stock twice) - but the price was at EMA20 and trendline, hence I felt it is too good of an opportunity to miss.
--> Update --> the market looks shaky, took profit from ATVI, EL and MSFT
Others:-
Meeting with DBKL @ DBKL - Set a meeting with Siti Hajar next week to run through TTDI outstanding list
Gaming with the guys at night, HL got a new job (Congrats!). Still need to finish up reading the bazi stuff.
Went out yesterday with Ah Theng, Leng jie2 & yinkuan? to sunway pyramid. I definitely can learn a thing or two from the way they hassle the price. lol

Trading b#3
I was contemplating whether to keep my stocks at hand, carrying forward my losses. In the end, I manage to tell myself that it is okay to lose one day and trade again the next day. It is part of trading. So I closed my trades at a loss today.
----
In the night, I entered EL, SKX, MAR. EL and SKX was influence by Crystal, but EL have good chart and SKX have a high upside.
MAR is by Crystal as well and I decided to follow up on this by getting it on the support line + trend line.
I took profit on MU by setting the SL higher than my cost. I also put a higher SL for FB . I have increase the SL for other stocks (but still below cost) after feeling comfortable with the entry price. This is to reduce my downside exposure as I believe that my entry is a good entry,if it drops below my entry, it is going to be a big chance to hit my SL.

Non-trade update:

Re:
It has been one week, didnt eat meat except during GJ 3 course wedding dinner, and i didn't feel too well at that point that I thought i should really eat up to nourish myself. I did eat egg though (which in my own mind that is my deal, no meat but egg is acceptable)
Looking for good temples to donate. I have thought about it and will likely to donate across the year, as i will use 10-20% of my earnings per month and donate it... but by end of this year the figure must reach RM5k
Not easy trying not to name call people but i think i am doing quite well (almost let CM caught me but i managed to delete the msg in time... phew!)
Today at sharemarket, I didnt do too well in the beginning, but manage to recover after wards. Most likely tomorrow, as we are having CG meeting, i wont be able to trade: :(
Hope I can catch the afternoon market
Also US market, bought a few shares, namely NVDA and qing for Amzn, Goog. etc. I started FB fares, then it let to a cyber "warfare" between BN and PH.
Side note: Deadpool become awesome in DP2. hilarious too. :!

Post GE14, Day One Trading
Gross - 200 from equity, 1k from derivatives. I think I am getting the hang of it.. Follow the trend, trade with it, only do counters when near peak. Stop Loss is good but i feel trend beats anything ie even if you are in loss, and your trade is with the trend, you do not need to worry much.
Tonight lets see how the US Market shares will perform!

Grateful, Review, Forgive
Grateful today:
I managed to catch Terry's trade and earn RM275 gross
Watched some videos on focus and concentration
Forgiveness:
Prolly how HL like to bring up the 10 games. I am irritated by how it is an irrelevant point that he likes to bring up again and again. But I cannot control his act. So I should just learn to accept and let him be.

Making a tshirt
Just wanna note this down. I thought about this awhile ago but did not do anything about it. I thought of making a customized shirt for myself during exercise time / jogging.
The shirt back part will have a question "Do you wanna play board game with me? Just ask me out!"
And maybe Pc games too.
The front part can have something similar or a photo or picture of something I can relate
Reflection
I feel I need to sit down and reflect at where I am now.
I am sitting at the park now looking at people waking, jogging and the green hill with the pond in middle. I feel I need to be more effective with my day to day activities. I can do more but I am taking it too easy. I need to work harder and play lesser. My mind agrees to this but it is the lacking of discipline and focus that always derail my action plans.
So i shall first improve my discipline and ability to focus. How?
- find articles and read them (using spreeder)
- find books and consider buying them
- watch videos
- application: write down what you have learn and practice it daily.
I tend to do this now and then but drop off along the way... How? Address this by reviewing your notes daily.

Jan and Pre CNY update
Last weekend, Thursday, I PKed onto a longkang outside omulab. knocked my head and had cuts/scratches all over my body.
What I am doing lately? still the same, focusing on trading and bazi.
I have excused myself from Azlan's entrepreneurship mainly because I am finding it difficult to juggle my time between myself (trading, bazi etc), garden and the project. Hence I decided to take a step back from it.
I am thinking of taking a step back from the garden as well but that will happen at a later stage. I need to help to setup the accounting system etc first.

a question for myself today / and a business plan?
If I were to commit myself to a business, I would rather a business that is flexible where I can do my own things at work. If it is a cafe, I do not want high traffic but high margin. Preferably online business or consulting where I can do a few jobs in a month and that is sufficient to cover the whole month's expenses.
Or perhaps the job does not need me to be on site, ie I can employ staff and all I need to do is go in once every week or so.
CONCEPT:- HIGH MARGIN, FLEXIBLE (CONTRACT?), EMPLOY WORKERS (DELEGATION)
a question for myself today:-
what get into me. Recently it is HL. I know that in the past when people are not keen to learn more ie Calvin or KS, I get it and I don't bother but with HL, I do feel I am frustrated easily with him.
Perhaps it could be because he did say that I am lazy and now he is acting the same. But more because I feel that this is sometime he could use to elevate himself to a better position.
I know I should be affected by his choices and ultimately their choices affects their own lives, not mine.
I can share with him why I feel this is important for him and why it got into me but I should not let it affect me emotionally again.
So HL got to me because I care about him, which is normal that you are affected by things and people you care about.

Earned RM1,800 today!
I bought SAPNRG this morning when the market opened, and sold it 30mins later, taking a profit of RM1,800 gross.
I bought it because over the weekend, I saw the chart where there is a reversal on the downtrend, with a gap up.
So on Monday (Today), I monitor the opening and manage to get the share at 83c. I monitored it for 30mins before deciding to sell it at 87.5c.

3rd Jan 2018
2) Caught up with Woon today for dinner. Fat d.
3) Should plan further on the trip to Osaka. Seems like there are signs pointing towards this trip.
Things I have done that I am happy with
Reading more frequent. Started reading Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie. I think I've read it previously but do not remember the ending. Maybe I did not finish the book previously.
Did my budget for 2018, updated my portfolio. Started my analysis for FA again.
Have been doing my things to do for the next day consistently for about 5 days now.
Things to accomplish by end of this week
1) Bazi practice
2) Share FA part 2
3) Go for a run
Monday, 1 January 2018
Reflection on 2017 and Goals for 2018
1- Do more Bazi - I have been planning and planning but have yet to complete a thorough report since HL and Joanne's reading. I have been spending way too long structuring the report > doing practical. Anyway, the structure will definitely help me to churn out reports once I start.
2- Find a GF. This did not happen too, but am happy met a lot of people towards late of the year. And I realised that I would rather spend time to learn more about trading (until a more sustainable stage) before I devote more time on other sectors of my life
3- Exercise until 6 packs. Nope. I did lose weight because I was sick. My fitness level dropped towards end of 2017 because 1) my gym buddy is now in melbourne 2) lacking discipline
4- Book readings - i read 29 books this year, only two more than last year. Personal goal was 48 but looking back that is slightly unrealistic
Goals for 2018
Learn Investing/Trading
Practice Bazi
Read more
Exercise more
Eat healthier
morning power Qs
What are you happy now? I think that having GF is making me happy atm. And being able to do what I want and contribute abit to the company. ...
