Stagnation... and my 21st BIRTHDAY!

Things are going just as they do usually. Not quite. Anyway, I've just returned from a trip to Redang Island off the Eastern coast of Malaysia. Really nice beaches and water there! Imagine snorkelling and seeing fishes just some 20 to 30 metres off the beach. And you can feed them by hand. Had to be careful to avoid the bigger fishes though, cos fishes tend to bite and try and grab a piece of whatever food one has in your hands. The small fishes "bites" feel more like suckles, but the big fishes really bite with their teeth!



Haha. So much for my trip. Next up...my birthday! My 21st birthday was spent in a quiet meaningful session with Miranda on East Coast beach. And I was given some 21 gifts! I guess she didn't get the "guilty look" that she so wanted to see that day, but I was totally moved! (quite close to tears...but...) There was just this warmth my heart seeing all the effort in making and the beauty of her gifts for me. Which reminds me of how poor my gifts are. Nevermind...I have her 21st birthday to redeem myself!

And down to the more serious topic. About becoming stagnant. In financial matters in general and Forex in particular. I mean...I'm really getting nowhere. I'm not actively demo trading. Not posting or conversing on the forum. Not talking to my forex buddies. Not quite reading. (Though I finally got down to reading one of the many ebooks uploaded by Clarence).

It's the phase after all the excitement. In technical terms, it's consolidation. If that is so, I sure hope my long term moving average is still trending upwards and the trend hasn't reversed. I seriously see Forex and trading, in general, as a viable means of survival, and investing would be the longer-term way of accumulating wealth. A job is far off my mind now. Even teaching (tutoring rather) is because I really love telling people about the subject. Well, I fail at telling people how to speak and write and communicate in proper English though.

Upcoming events should give me a boost. Will be at Clarence's Forex course in August. And varsity will be starting for me too. In fact I'll be collecting my matriculation card tomorrow from NUS! Many activities will be filling my life. And I wonder if I can cope. End of the day, or year, or my university life, I hope I have gone thru a ride of my life and not have to depend on my bachelor or honours degree. (or even Masters and Doctorate!)

Well. Hopefully it's a good start then!
