7th Jan 2015

A new year, my focus is all on trading. One of my two main goals currently. 

Still alot to work on. There are good trades and there are stupid ones.. Gotta stop making stupid trades.. and learn to take profit at the right timing. Always miss out on my profits becos I did not take my profits earlier. 

Currently stuck to this new drama.. Alot of thoughts on this drama. There are 3 single ladies in this drama, all aged 31. One of them, she really live life to the max. She basically works for 6mths and then travel for the next 6mths with the money she makes. Really admire her passion for life. Maybe there's something I can learn from her ;)

Particularly loved this from the drama : 

"有人說青春像用一頂鮮嫩玫瑰
編織成的后冠,戴上它妳就能
收到赦免和優待

30之後妳覺得妳依舊是自己,
但身邊的人卻會用青春已逝,
年輕不再當武器,
逼妳走進名為婚姻的城堡,
告訴妳女大當嫁,
不結婚對不起整個世界,
只是城堡裡的生活就一定幸福美滿嗎?
童話故事只說到王子和公主
從此過著幸福快了的日子就不敢再說下去,
是不是因為作者比誰都清楚,
其實進入城堡裡的生活並不是那麼美好

有人為了該不該進去、怎麼進去而苦惱,
也有人根本不當回事依然我行我素自由自在,
站在城堡外的我看不見裡頭的生活,但嚮往著,
只是看見曾經進入城堡的朋友那麼辛苦、難過,
最後選擇離開,是不是不進去、不嚮往比較好,
到底從什麼時候開始,
30歲變成女人的枷鎖,30歲得這樣,
30歲必須那樣,也許不想要、不在乎,
這社會卻粗魯的敲醒妳、
催促妳必須這樣、那樣,
女人30歲後的人生怎麼樣才算合乎規格,
又要怎麼做才能昂然無懼的面對整個世界?"

Alot of thoughts on this paragraph. It appears that other than mid life crisis that everyone go thru, women also have to go thru the 30yrs old crisis exclusive to them. So not fair... Ah well... :/

Other than trading and drama, been doing alot of travel research recently :

- I thk Taipei and Seoul would be my ideal cities to live in. As much as I love Japan and Hongkong as well, the cost of living is higher over there. Price of house rental in Hongkong is pretty crazy when u compare it to Taipei.. 

- Price of short term rentals in Taipei is pretty affordable. 

- Most ppl do Visa runs from Taipei via Hongkong. Visa runs for Korea, usually u do it from Japan. Sounds like fun :D Hope to do it soon ;)
