AsiaWorks - Basic Training Course - Day 1

Yesterday I just attended a course call Basic Training Course. Sounds ambiguous right? LOL.

Well, honestly when I attended the course yesterday I did not know what the course was all about. Even though I already paid $1300 for it! LOL.

I met a fren about 2 weeks ago for catch up coffee and I pleasantly found out that he was going through the same inner balancing phrase as I did since last year (we havent caught up for a long while... perhaps a year plus?). He started abit earlier then me though. Well, anyways, he saw that I'm also in this phrase, and he keep suggesting that I attended this course. Hell, I filled in the objectives form at the back, then he turn the sheet around for me to fill in my particulars! Hahaha. That's how excited he was. And he has been through all of the 3 courses. Basic, Advanced, and Leadership.

Interestingly, the speaker talks about limiting subconscious beliefs and there was this lady who stood up to say that she would not be able to attend the course due to a lot of work. So he asked her if she would be open to attend it if she has the chance to, and she say she would consider but now is not possible because she has so much work. While he was empowering her to make the choices neccesary for attending this course, she got angry and said that she dont have a choice and considering the attendance for the course is out of the question. While he try to empower her more, she said she cant do anything about it because she said that she is her bosses's bitch. NOW, Gene (the speaker) definitely knows that there is problem in that belief... I saw it too.. And Gene continued to grill her and empower her, saying that she can find a way to deal with it. Maybe there really was not a way out of her work. Or maybe she can prioritise her work to fit in the course. Either way, if she really wants to, she will. But she got angry (she was already angry from the beginning.) and started to accuse Gene of judging her (hey... she was the first one to say she was someone else's bitch ya know.. if you dont want others to judge you, you don't say that of yourself first!) and Gene abruptly stopped the conversation short and ended it. Later when those who cannot attended the course she stood up quickly and made the administration to quit the course.

Actually its a pity and I feel that, even though she actually needs this course very much (she was actually believing she is her bosses bitch -now that is some serious subconscious belief to deal with) but she is not ready for this change yet. Or rather, she wants to continue to be her bosses bitch. Which is quite apparent, as she is giving all reasons why she should continue in this situation. Its a very self-abusive, negative situation. I dont want to be in that situation. I want to empower myself and be empowered. That needs me to be open and vunerable in order to progress.

My goal: To be strong and firm yet soft. What does it take to reach there? To be this person that I want to be. It would need me to have strong inner voice. I need to let it out. Without that acertainity of inner know self, I cannot be strong and firm about the daily desicions in my life. Inner knowself will also help me to be soft because I know my own self worth and what Im willing to give out. So when I am soft, I am honestly genuine about it.

Stocks - Fragrance

Bought Fragrance at 0.495 (4 lots) due to insider news (although I know that when I bought in I'm alrady late but just wanted to try out the insider news) but after AGM on 3rd July it didnt go up.

So sold it off again at 0.495 losing on trading fees only. Im taking this test to insider news as a failed attempt.
Oh well.

Strange dream

I had a dream this morning, it was a strange dream.

A guy wanted to bring me to the netherworld, and to talk to the guardian of hell there, like the book of life, and say that my fate should be changed, because I did not do much bad deeds this lifetime.

And the guy say that they make mistakes all the time, and my fate will be reset to a better one in the future.
I woke up feeling weird and at the same time happy. Hehe.

Coincidentally, I signed up for a AsiaWorks course just yesterday, on 4th July 2012. US Independence Day. I think I must be an angmo last life. LOL.

Maybe its a sign that a good change is coming. :)))

Book review - Making your first Million - Micheal Leong

This is is basically a fundamental value investing book. I learn some trading philosophy from him.
He started up ShareInvestment and subsequently sold it off to SPH, making good profits on selling the biz.

His experience in the investment field is much likely to be anamoured, as he did achieve success in this investment.

However, there is one point where I still struggle to accept, is that there are not only buying, but also selling as well. Maybe my stocks hasnt trigger the selling points yet, so I do not have the feeling of selling at all.

But I often wonder, if I don't sell at all, and ride out the economic crisis, then I will not be able to capitalise on the fall of the stock market. Though I will still be buying in. This is one scenario that I always ponder and haven't yet find a solution about. Hmmm...

BreadTalk Sold!

On 27th June 2012, I sold BreakTalk at $0.49 and making a total profit of $39 after all the commission was deducted. Lol. My initial target was $0.56 and a profit of $510. But guess I still wasn't patient enough for capital gains stocks. And Breadtalk didn't seem like it was going to grow. I was simply capitalising on its fall in price and its fundamental strength to rebounce back. Lol.

Well eventually Breadtalk will grow back, but I'll rather put it in someplace that is either faster, or has more long term growth potential. I don't really like to buy and sell, buy and sell. Lazy. :P

Still looking around for more stocks to go in for long term.
Probably Second Chance Properties or OKP. :)

Book review - Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill

This book is wonderful. I learnt so many things from this book.

It talked about MasterMind Alliance, which is to have superb relationship with the people around you, thus making your own dreams possible with faith and confidence.

Inside the book there is alot of teachings, all of whom impressed me the most is the chapter on the Art of Sex Transmutation. This chapter strongly suggests that sex itself is an energy, reproductive energy. And by reproductive energy, it is a life force, which represents action. Its so strong, that if one knows how to channel it into good use, the result is tremendous and amazing.

I also like the chapter of invisible counsellors, where the real life story told is so amazing yet I can truly feel that it is true.

Everything in the book goes in line with the teachings of Buddhism. So for me, I find it fairly easy to understand. And everything makes a perfect circle of understanding. :)

So I really recommend this book to anyone who wants a better understanding of life and how it works.
Coz this book is simply amazing. :)

Breadtalk

The other day when I was sick at home and diablo server was down, 22nd May 2012, I went to buy in 6 lots of BreadTalk stock at $0.475 each. Now present price is $0.48. According to the historical price chart, it seems to be at the bare support level. And my longest time frame is 3 months max, so it's by around 22nd August that I will sell of this stock. Price target is $0.56 (around 20% returns). I only set aside $3000 for capital gains stocks investment to try it out first.

Cross my fingers and wish my luck! :)
