Life felt stagnant at home. I started thinking more and more about money. How am I going to get the funds needed for my trading account when thinkorswim starts to accept Singaporean registration? Geez.

There are only 2 things that weigh on my balance. Training for HJ vs working for money to fund my account.
For one, I don't wish to procrastinate my training for HJ. I want to do well for it. The more I wait to train, the more the time horizon seems to dwindle for me as an athlete. This is something I cannot live without. I would die with regrets if I don't attempt to try to see how high I can go. It is my top priority, so to speak.
Then on the other hand of the scale, I need money to trade options! There is really no way I can work again after I enter NTU. Actually, thinking about this in specific, I can do without trading for now. The market is still choppy and I might get my fingers burnt easily. But if a rather good job deal comes along, then I don't mind training and working on the job. :)

Okay. Thank you Lord. After typing the pros and cons, I am witnessing the scale tipping on one obvious side. I promise I will train to my very best.

And something interesting happened tonight. Dad, mum and er jie was in the living room as I walked to them. Daddy was on the floor flipping newspapers. Then mum was saying Daddy wants to buy a condo for investment. My eyes just lit up. ! Actually it isn't a condo. It's some kind of 5 room (DBSS) executive apartment in Bishan that is almost like a condo. Comes with furniture. Except without the wall-up and personal facilities. The advertisement said the prices start from S$550k. And we're going to to showroom tomorrow. Hmmm I don't know how rich my dad is. But he probably thinks it's time to spend some of the money that's collecting up in the bank lol. It is probably great to live in Bishan for a while and come back to Jurong. Just like a vacation ! hahaha.
