2011

2011-12-27T14:36:00.002+08:00

I've not quite settled down. New home is almost done up, so I guess it's really just the heart that's still floundering. I look back at year 2011, and can only boast of one miserable achievement: making half a million off a property purchased in 2008.

I have taken a really long break from trading, blogging, and just about everything else since August to do some deep soul-searching. It's unfortunate that I'm still as confused as ever as to what my purpose in life really is. I've had many long conversations with D, whose patience and wisdom I have come to appreciate. To my question of why nothing seems to motivate me to make money anymore, D's reply is that it is because what I want is what I can never buy with money, and all the things that I want in life that can be bought, I have long been able to afford them.

2 weeks before Christmas, I startled D by announcing my intention to have a baby boy.

It took D 2 weeks to talk me out of my crazy idea by reminding me that if I were to go ahead with my plan:

1) I will not get to do a workout (which I have been doing a fair bit lately) for a very long time

2) I will not get to trade for a very long time

3) I will not get to work for a very long time (I will never let someone else look after my child)

4) I will not get my "alone time" (minimum of 6 hours per day, and a stretch of 30 days every quarterly) for possibly the next 16 years

5) there's a 50% chance it could be a baby GIRL

So there goes my only big plan for 2012.

My real estate career has been at a total halt, which is what depresses me the most these days. I just can't seem to be able to figure out which side of me to show the world to make it in the industry. I almost have no issue with door knocking and cold calling and handing out flyers to angry looking home owners - I simply haven't figured out how I should go about presenting myself to convince people who don't know me to want to sell and buy through me. In fact, I still haven't quite figured out if in Singapore, it is really the agent that matters.

All said, I have had a good year, and as always, it has been a better year than the previous'. I continue to count my blessings, among which there is nothing more precious than the wonderful people I have met via this blog. I thank all who have dropped comments, written emails, sent e-cards, and left facebook messages since late November, and promise that I will make replying you my priority once I get back to my pre-August momentum.

I hope to resume live trading in Jan 2012.

Standing All Alone

2011-11-25T13:55:00.004+08:00

Life without my computer has been a pain. D and I have been staying over at a friend's while waiting for renovation to complete. We moved into the new place this week, even though major work is still being done in the living room, kitchen, and the guest room. I'm glad that the studies is ready, and my computer's set up.

In the time that I was offline, I had gone back to doing something I have loved since I was a child: reading a real book. As far as the new job's concerned, progress has been slow, largely due to the fact that I was distracted by all the logistics of moving from central Singapore to the far east. Also, my cats have kept me in most of the time, since I didn't want to leave them alone while staying at our friend's.

From the very first day that we've moved into the new place, I've had to stay in to make sure my cats are safely kept away while the contractors are at work. All the deliveries are starting to come in, and we finally finished buying all the furniture for the house last night.

D and I have been fighting almost every other day. I don't know what's gotten into me, but I'm not liking anything he does and say, and hates everything he's not done and said. At first it seemed it was because of the extra time we had together (D was on a LONG one-week leave to move us from our old place to our friend's); the fact that we have continued to fight after he's gone back to work suggest to me that the issue is more complex than we thought.

It took me a while to realize it's probably because I have had a lot more idling time to notice, scrutinize and dwell on matters that I had overlooked while I was busy with my charts in the past 3 years.

I started to:

- Notice how different D and I are in terms of our outlook on life and in our interpretation of what makes a meaningful life

- Figure out that D will never leave Singapore for a more laid-back lifestyle elsewhere. He loves the Ion, Palais Renaissance, The Paragon, and The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands; I love this.

- Become painfully aware of the fact that D is totally capable of being gentle, attentive and caring towards women, and that he is bent on not showing that side of him to me and possibly me alone. According to D, it is easy to want to be nice to most other women because he can FEEL their emotions. Me? I am just a perfect block of ICE that doesn't wink an eye at anything - be it others' or my own misfortune. After that, he went on to cite an example of how I didn''t even frown after I dislocated my ankle and he brought me to the clinic only the day after, when I could no longer walk, because I had told him about the fall as if I was simply recounting a minor incident so he didn't even check my ankle (I used to wear long skirts with tights, so hardly anyone got to see my ankles) - just to prove his point.

I am starting to hear from old acquaintances who are offering me jobs. It's time like this that reminds me how high up the corporate ladder I would have climbed by now had I not chosen to give up everything to walk a path most still scoff at today.

The new home is filled with beautiful things. But my heart still feels completely empty.

Still in Jumbles

2011-11-07T04:34:00.001+08:00

Packing to move out of my current home, supposedly to the new one. Hand over is in 3 days. I'm feeling strangely SAD. Maybe it's coz it's going to be Christmas again. After years of soul-searching, I still haven't quite found out why I hate Christmas.

I won't be moving into my new home just yet as it's still a war zone totally unfit for human living. Everything that needs to be hacked is gone, and the process of putting in what I want in has only just begun. Shopping for furniture commenced yesterday. D got me a Borsch-everything kitchen - fridge, oven, steamer, induction stove, washer/dryer and a HEAVY-DUTY hood - I have no idea what I am going to do with them, but I love it that they all come in BLACK. To thank D for the wonderful gift, I helped him bargain price down to 80% of what was initially charged, simply by threatening to walk out of the store (it helped that I really wasn't the least interested in kitchen appliances) when they refused to give a bulk discount.

My interior designer had planned for the floor to be white, sofas to be black, island kitchen to be white, built in appliances to be white/silver, carpets to be beige. I have managed to turn everything the other way - floor's now black, sofa's snow white, island kitchen's black, appliances are black, carpet will look more like pebble than carpet. And this is going to be above the dinning table instead of a chandelier. D's totally taken aback, and can only imagine how our new nest is going to turn out...

I did some drastic changes to the design of D's mum's room, and everyone likes it. They just couldn't understand my last minute involvement in the project. D has been breathing down my neck for neglecting my very important role of managing just this one significant project in my entire year. And I am too frustrated to explain to him that making money has always been more important to me than spending it. Or maybe I really couldn't be bothered coz I really haven't been able to show any result for whatever money-making efforts I've put in. Maybe I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe my moral fiber just isn't flexible enough YET to compete in the industry, or maybe I'm simply clueless as to what it takes to be a money-making machine....

All said, I'm staying put this time. It's going to be a busy year for me next year as I will be working with 2 different partners on various projects. They have both been great mentors, and I believe things will eventually work out for all of us especially after I have settled down at my new home. I do love what I do very much. I just need to learn to not get affected by those who don't respect themselves and their profession and are only here to make quick bucks... Once I can convince myself to feel good about the industry and about what I have to offer, I WILL find my way to make a decent living. I am not here for the recognition, awards and accolades - I just want to be darn good at what I do, and earn my keep. Then I want to retire in Canada or the States in 10 years, and trade crude oil full time.

Why I Sim Trade

2011-10-28T00:40:00.002+08:00

Sandy asked at the beginning of the month why I was on sim.

A very simple answer is that I simply lost the will to fight my inner demons. I still loved to watch charts, and I still loved trading, and that was why I had continued to trade on sim.

A complicated answer would be that I realized I didn't love money enough to be able to make money from trading IN THE LONG RUN. I needed to get back into the real world where I could learn to appreciate the value of money from people who aren't like me. A friend asks if I feel rich. I say I do, because there's nothing that I want that I can't afford. Yachts, personal jets, mansions, palaces, precious stones, designer everything (bags, shoes, clothes,etc) don't make the list of things I want. Then it got me thinking: what is it that I really, really want? I was asked in a personal mastery boot-camp a few years ago a question along the line of why was I enrolled in the course (that segment was designed to make participants CRY, or at least have a minor breakdown of sorts, in the hope that that could help them connect with what lies deep within...anyway it got to a point where I nearly killed the coaches who kept asking me to ask myself "why am I here"). None of my answers satisfy them. And I was baffled when I realized that the answer they were looking for were a combination of the following:

I want to be able to travel the world in x number of years
I want to be make x amount of millions in y number of years
I want to be able to enjoy total financial freedom in x number of years
I want to give my dependents the best
I want to get out of poverty
I want to buy a Ferrari
I want to buy a jet
I want to be the number 1 insurance/property agent in the whole asia pacific region

and so on and so forth

The answer that I gave that they kept rejecting was: I want to be a better person for the person I love. And even when I clarified that that included NOT being a burden to the person, it wasn't good enough for them. At one point they were kind enough to prompt me with this: "so what is it that you want for YOURSELF?". I said I WANTED a happy partner. They gave up and I became the notorious participant who was beyond help. Didn't matter that I paid thousands...

Anyway, I really digressed.

So the question I ask myself these days is if I am truly not capable of making an obscene amount of money because there is nothing that's motivating me to make it.

I am still not getting anywhere near to what I really want to say about why I dropped real money trading.

The simplest way that I can put this is this: if I am not going to be making money, the best I can do is to stop losing it in trading.

D has finished his work, and is expecting me to wrap up too.

And I haven't even got to the juicy bit about my struggles for the past weeks...

Life's a Dance

2011-10-19T14:23:00.001+08:00

Flyer distribution has been tremendously fun. The walking down each level; squatting to slot flyers into homes; jumping up all freaked out when dogs start barking from inside (that's why I prefer cats - they simply push the flyers back out); jumping up all freaked out when the door opens and a man stands staring, semi-naked; getting lost when I get to the 20th floor and the landscape suddenly changes and realizing by the time I've walked the entire level that I've managed to clear 50 units - prove to be extremely good for the heart. At rest, my heart beats 90 times per minute; after slotting 200 hundred flyers into homes, 120 times.

In the whole nearly 40 years of my life, I've never done manual work like that (not counting the 5 times that I mopped the floor). Had I known how much fun this is compared to kick-boxing and running on treadmill, I would have sent in an application to do farming for agents...

I absolutely think that property agents should distribute their own flyers because the benefits of doing so are plenty:

1) I see with my own eyes the homes that clearly don't want anything going in - tell tale signs are wet clothes between the gate and the wooden door, curbs on doorsteps, doors with not a nano-inch of opening underneath, DOGS, etc - I don't like to force people to take what they don't want.

2) I see with my own eyes the homes I won't want to sell - tell tale signs are plenty, but I shan't bore anyone with the details

3) I hear with my own ears the occupants I won't want to deal with (for this you MUST go during the time of the day that they are home of course)

4) I smell the homes I won't want to sell

5) I get to talk to occupants who happen to be stepping out, and they get to see how very friendly, diligent, ADORABLE and absolutely harmless I am (might not work for you if you happen to have thick eyebrows like D)

6) I get first hand info and knowledge on the unique selling points of units on each level

7) I might just lose the 5kgs of fats I don't want at the end of the campaign

I have to ask myself at this juncture: what have I gotten myself into???

Short Tangent

2011-10-19T01:07:00.002+08:00

This is my new home:

Some of the books I couldn't bring to the new home (I HATE D):

The only books I get to keep (still hate D):

Life has been...DIFFERENT. I drove myself around a lot again, like I did when I first arrived in Edmonton at 16. I communicated with more people in 3 weeks than I did in a decade. I found a mentor who allowed me to tag along on her viewings and negotiations, and helped to take care of her listings while she was away. I learned in mere weeks what it usually takes a rookie years to learn. When I spoke with a seasoned agent yesterday, she was shocked to learn that this was officially my 2nd month into the job. What I'm still not good at doing is acting my age. I constantly get asked if I am living with my parents.

I really miss my charts. Life in front of my screen had been simple. And I like simple.

Hearing Impairment, AGING, and Childhood Home

2011-10-10T23:49:00.013+08:00

Woke up with ringing in my ~~left~~ right ear in the wee hours and just couldn't go back to sleep. I've had tinnitus from time to time in the past 20 years but never had this feeling of dread before. Grabbed my pillow and went to my comfort corner and tried to fall asleep on the settee. I had to be up to make breakfast for D and finish designing my flyers. I tossed and turned, and sat up every other minute to tilt my head and each time the ringing got louder and more piercing and the pressure in my ~~left~~ right ear was building up so badly I wanted to scream.

I sprained the ~~left~~ right side of my neck (yes, I am very accident prone) after D returned from his business trip, and after the swell in my sprained ~~LEFT~~ RIGHT ankle has started to subside. Couldn't turn my neck for days, and after a series of self-medication, I started to feel some swelling. Great, INFLAMMATION. And I thought the only person who could get an inflamed neck is D. I had no time to deal with my neck, and since self-medication didn't help, I decided to let nature take its course. Bad idea. Whatever it was that was attacking my neck is now in my ear.

Then it hit me. That I was going to lose my hearing because I am now OLD. For the first time, I truly felt 40.

Then I tried to talk myself into entertaining some other possible/better explanations for my hearing impairment. I surmised that after having stayed on very high floor (near to 30th) for so long, and after not having visited Granny's home (at below ground/sea level??) since she passed, it was probably the visit to the house yesterday that had caused pressure to build (but why the ~~LEFT~~ RIGHT ear???).

My Aunt (to whom I owe my education, my first home, and my marriage - in that sequence) had tried to get me to visit her at Sentosa the day that Daniel touched down, and then again yesterday, and I had to turn her down the first time coz I sprained my ankle and couldn't really drive around (I was darn sure I would lose my way), and I didn't want to tell her I sprained that same spot AGAIN after some 10 years (she gave her precious bottle of wine to the sinseh who got my ankle fixed...or was it the doctor who gave me a cast? Nevermind....). I had to say no again yesterday coz I had a few listings to attend to (definitely aiming to close at least 1 by next Sunday; 2 will make me a very happy woman for at least a week).

I convinced D to give up his trip to get MY upgraded PC to drop by my Aunt's instead, coz she was going to fly early today, and I had felt bad about not having called since she got home a month ago. Aunt asked how trading was coming along for me, then told me she had bought a stock at market peak and asked what was a good next step. I suggested doing the usual: HOLD, and D chuckled. Then we talked about the house, and it was then that I felt how empty the house was without the rest of the family there. Aunt complained about the electricity bill, and of course we went along with it...

Memories of those days when my cousin would chase me down that long hallway (before they built the current 2-storey white castle, it was a 1-storey ULTRA long home and you would never guess it existed when you drive along Ulu Pandan because the house is nested in a valley between 2 Good Class Bungalow lots. At one point, I think the Swiss ambassador was their neighbor (not next door, but near enough) after I had done something really bad to him while his siblings and mine (there were just my Dad and my Aunt and their kids) cheered on came flooding back.

30 years have gone by. Pretty darn scary.

Anyway, it's probably a good idea to sell the house, although it's terribly upsetting to see it go. It's just not nice and not funny anymore to hear echoes when you talk (makes me wonder how all the rich and famous could live in a mansion all by themselves (fine, with their servants, gardeners and bodyguards)...).

My brother-in-law is helping Aunt with the sale of her home. If you have the experience and expertise in selling Good Class Bungalows, or know anyone who is an expert, I will really appreciate it if you would drop me an email. I will link you up with my brother-in-law.

I didn't get the chance to take pictures of the interior of the home yesterday coz my equipment was at home (I have a decent digital cam and until I've attended the workshop on taking good listing photos I'll probably not be investing in an upgrade...if only I can get my hand on D's antique...), but there's a picture of the exterior on Property Guru, along with a brief description of the house:

The house sits on a 21,143 sqft land. If I remember correctly, the last valuation was around 40 Mil (approx USD 31 Mil). So if you know anyone who is interested, or if you know anyone who knows anyone who is interested, this is a jolly good deal for yourself.

I am currently working on a project that I love a great deal, and it's likely to be my main focus for the next 3 years at least. But more on that later. I have a separate blog on property investment/ living in Singapore/living a stone's throw away from the busy business district (ok, I really haven't decided on what I want to talk about...it feels like Jan 2008 ALL OVER AGAIN) that I'm not motivated to publish YET. D, I want my juzjules domain name!!!

Yes, SEA, ear's still ringing, and neck's still inflamed, but I will visit (knowing that I might not get to hear you nag ever again kinda makes it easier to drop by. LOL!!!)...yes, with your beloved thermos. :-P

First Things First

2011-10-07T03:08:00.001+08:00

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

See full transcript of Steve Job's commencement address delivered at Standford University on June 12, 2005

There's quite a bit going in my life right now, and I simply must stop looking at charts to focus on these more important matters.

Sim Trade 10/5 (Wed) & Stressed D

2011-10-05T23:49:00.000+08:00

Collecting keys to our new home in less than a week. D is starting to get a little impatient with our lawyer, and almost everyone else... I can't understand why a happy event like moving a new home (that he loves) can stress a person so badly. But then again, maybe it's just me.

Almost identical to Friday's session...and...it's MONDAY.

So, no trade.

D's back. And is bossing around again. I have enjoyed my 2 weeks of independence, and am happy to let him take over all finance matters, as and when he stops giving me the what-have-you-done look.

Sim Trade 9/30 (Fri)

2011-10-01T00:06:00.000+08:00

Simply, I just don't like it that CL opened at a strange place, and that it's a Friday. On any other days, I would bet on price trading towards pivot, completely filling the gap in the process. But not only is today Friday it's also the end of the month. So, no trade.

TT,
Thanks! You are not the first to say you are clueless .....:-) Whatever "strategy" I had deployed before or am using now, I have always tended to trade towards pivot. When I had included Globex data, my approach was a lot messier. So I am exploring completely ignoring globex actions and focus on just gaps at US open, pivots, and opening ranges. I still look for reasons to trade in the direction of where pivot is (though not necessarily targeting to exit at pivot every time), and will trade away from it only if it's rejected - especially at open - because it is also where the key support/resistance is (e.g. gaps).

Sim Trade 9/29 (Thurs)

2011-09-30T00:31:00.002+08:00

Had a really long chat with someone I knew just 2 months ago who felt like he was struggling in this business. He asked if I had any idea why he chose my shoulders to cry on (not in those exact words), and then volunteered the answer. It was because I was the only one who really did email him the info that I had verbally shared with him, while the others simply said they would but never did. I made an effort to recall what exactly it was that I passed to him that made him want to talk to me again, and then realized it wasn't about the info that I gave him - it was that I BOTHERED to get back to him. And I did because he was a decent guy who deserved a little help and I was happy to do him a favor.

If only I could feel the same about everyone I meet in my line of business. Hmmm..

I don't know if you remember this project of his that I mentioned in Feb (which was the reason that I resumed public blogging, and took up this personal challenge to help him test out the effectiveness and practicality of setting very specific goals and measuring progress at specific intervals) - it's finally completed, and yesterday marked the first day of the soft launch of this project.

Below is a sneak preview of what Z's been up to.

It looks GRAND.

It IS.

At the end of the video, you'll see the URL of the page that will answer your questions.

May I ask all my friends who have been reading, particularly those who have blogs, to share the video after you've watched it, decided that you like what you see, and are as curious as me in finding out where this vision will lead us.

Floor's all yours now, Z:

Regarding my own trading, I have decided to resume daily trading, sharing of charts and reporting of daily PnL after the long break I've taken to ponder on what I want to do.

Trading resumes next week, after I've settled some unfinished business. I'm still holding my 6J short in the parent account, and will use a smaller 10k account for day trading of NG and crude oil (and from time to time, FX) futures.
