My apologies for not having blogged for quite some time. For the past 4 days I was actually in Malaysia, and it was a trip full of eating really good food...I'm sure some of you guys know M'sian food is the best...haha...anyway, the "highlight," or at least one of the highlights, was that my family and I went for some professional photo-taking! I think one could call it a makeover...but it was quite cool...my sis got her own album and I've got a few shots to call my own...
And I realised (I hope this doesn't sound narcissistic) that I can actually look acceptable, if not good. It probably was because the photographer's superb...and also due to my image consultant(who happens to be my cousin) gave me the right clothes...but the fact is...I don't have to remain the way I look and feel about myself...
Now, talk about freedom! The choice to look either normal or good...and while it may cost some money and time to choose the latter, at least now it is slightly more achievable...Despite this nice "dream-come-true" I'll still need to spend lotsa time nurturing my confidence...
I came back yesterday to watch my first TV prog for a nearly a week...and that was the charity show for Ren Ci Hospital...well...my heartiest congrats to them for making a fundraising show less life-threatening...I could never quite understand why the artistes have to risk their lives to get funds in exchange. I'm really glad that they hit their target because I've been to Ren Ci and I'm sure the patients need all the help they can get...but here's an appeal...they need MORE than funds...
Although I was very moved and inspired to go back regularly after my first visit...I never made the commitment to do so...and for that I feel pretty bad...like we always hear and maybe say as well...and here's to Morrie's words(for those who read Tuesday's with Morrie)...very often a simple gesture of touching and massaging the patients' hands mean a lot more to them...it could signify acceptance, love, comfort, care...sometimes all they need is someone to show them they matter...And I think I found another type of fund my income should flow into...and I'm deciding how I can set aside a bit to give back to those who need it more than me...although ultimately I hope I'll take the time to give more than just a few dollars...
Ohya...just one last lesson...I've been on Kiyosaki's Retire Young Retire Rich...and I was, once again, reminded that my job as an investor is to manage risks...and my most immediate response to think of "not trading against the major trend" in my attempt to conquer forex...so for now...it'll be no more trading short when the trend's up and vice versa...
