I tried Bloglines tonight. It's a RSS feed website. I've set up a toolbar on my firefox browser for my rss feed homepage so every time I use the internet. I'll just head here. These are my current feeds.

I've done it again. Made some virtual money from buying Citigroup call options. Basically I bought 4 contracts in 24 Nov for $1.090 each. The stock rose sharply today and i sold 2 of them for $1.750. That is a profit of $132 before commission fees. 60% profit :) The other 2 contracts are still gaining value and i've made a trailing stop of 0.15 for them. Right now they're 80%+ in profits :)
*The last 2 contracts of Citigroup triggered off the stop loss.
Total % profit from all 4 contracts of Citigroup : 70.2%
Actual profits = [(1.96x2+1.75x2)-1.09x4] x 100= $306
I must admit I am playing with gut feeling. I'm gambling on the options through the news but it's good practice learning how Optionsxpress works. I hope I can sail through the training course because I already know a great deal of information about options trading. But I will cut the smug attitude during the course.

Will be away for a bslc section bbq at Roger Look's hse in the evening. Wah biang Yio Chu Kang nia. No other plans for today :)
My cousin got into Normal (T) stream. Oh well... I hope that brat matures up himself properly without learning how to smoke and do gang fights. His mum called to ask me if I could give Suzana the digital keyboard I had in my room. I happily said yes.
As you know blog, I can't really sleep these few weeks. Been up awake till 2am +. So many thoughts flowed through my mind and I had some dreams too. One significant thought to note was I had a plan or idea to help my aunts/uncles invest in options trading. They'll pass me money to pool and I'll trade options on their behalf. I believe God has given me such a comfortable and fortunate life so that I can pass on the happiness to others close to me. Regarding donating to charity[when and if i made it rich], I was not sure if I would donate so much because it would seem wrong if you help the charities more instead of your own family.
Another encounter was a dream and a goal. I imagined myself getting a hjump bronze medal in SEA Games. So I decided to give to Tanglin and ask them to frame it up so as to inspire the students in achieving their dreams and goals. I also saw myself on stage giving a motivational talk during assembly where the student emcee/s would ask me questions. Somewhere along that part, I announced I would donate half a million dollars to the school.

2 funny and 1 wicked joke.
Funny 1
I bumped onto the satellite telecast of Survivor: Gabon at 3.30pm. I starting watching when they have begun talking who to vote for in the tribal council. So this guy, Bob was sent to the exile island before and couldn't find the hidden immunity idol. So he creatively made one out of materials he found there and kept a secret about him finding anything. Randy comes along to discuss with him who to vote and both thought Randy might be in risk tonight. So Bob hands over his fake idol to Randy and he happily showed it to the host when the survivors were asked to show their hidden idol if they want to. I was giggling out loud ! I loved the way host Jeff Probst stood before the voting box and said, "The rules of Survivors state, that if a hidden immunity idol is played, then the votes casted against that person will not count and the person with the next highest number of votes will be voted out." The host paused for a moment, and revealed while holding the pathetically minature handicraft, "This is not a hidden immunity idol." Randy turned from a grin to a silent and visibly stunned look.

Wicked 1 [THIS IS MADDNESS]
My er jie got my mega mac meal from JP and I was checking if there's really 4 patties in it as on tv. AND WHAT THE FUCK ?! I GOT A BIG MAC IN A MEGA MAC BOX ?! You [Macdonald's] have got to be kidding me... First the Wasabi Fillet-o-Fish with no fillet inside. Now THIS!??! Who is exactly working the burgers and why isn't there process checks!? Btw, that Wasabi FAIl delivery came from the Yuan Ching outlet.

As predicted I slept past my phone alarm at 8.30am and woke up at 10am. My biological clock is getting screwed. I work my body out almost everyday and I don't take afternoon naps. But I just can't sleep early. I went to West Coast Recreational Centre for 3 games of bowling with liu yun. I was still okay with my scores of 95 and 113 in the first two games, but the third game I swapped from first bowler to second bowler and I just did not perform at all. The highlight of the day was definitely that hook strike which I was trying to demostrate how the pros hook the ball. It was a strike indeed.
Then took 143 to the new West Coast Plaza. So new, it's almost empty and squeaking clean. We toured around and I found my way to a shelf in Cold Storage that has Uncle Toby's Muesli Bars ! I bought the yoghurt flavour. I don't really like the oats sticking to my teeth alot in this flavour. I also bought Gatorade Lemon-Lime Powder and M&Ms Crispy. We walked on somemore, and settled our dinner at BBQ Chicken on the 3rd floor. The Korean Charboiled Chicken I ordered was really yummy and Q. Then we went our own ways. Took the bus 30 home ! I finished the M&Ms onboard ! I used to take 30 from Boon Lay interchange alot to Tanglin. For 4 years, I was late only once because the bus appeared late in the morning. Luckily I didn't get detention or some shit.
I've withdrawn $500 for my part of the agreement that I'll pay for new 40" SAMSUNG LCD TV my dad bought. It costs us $2319 from Harvey Norman.
The workout fever has caught on ! I thought I'd just skip today's training and do it tomorrow. But I still went down at 8.20pm and completed it before 9.30pm ! Tonight was really sweating it out ! I'll go down to JJ tomorrow afternoon. I know I can't wake up early tomorrow. Plus, they might stop people from entering the school due to A levels. That's all I have for u blog.

Tuesday night. I couldn't sleep. Upgraded my blog. I was skeptical at first about the gadgets idea that comes with the new blogging version. But it's neater and easier to edit the html codes behind this personal web space now. The friends list is also trimmed. Those offline and downed sites are now removed.
I don't think I can wake up tmr at 8+ for a breakfast and go for the AA training at 9am +. The timetable says week 4 is done on tues wed and thurs. I did it this afternoon and it was hell for my legs. The intensity increment was significant. I was immediately thinking how I'm going to do the same thing for wed and thurs.
I was really mad when I couldn't find my Uncle Toby's Muesli Bars (Forest Fruits) when I wanted it badly before i went down for the workouts. Er jie said she ate one. Did I really eat the other 5 from the pack of 6? I want MORE MORE MORE !

I just couldn't sleep early this whole week since I left army... I intentionally turned to bed sometimes before 9 and like now, fully awake and rolling with really sleepy eyes.
So I decided to check out the recent IVP results, but I only found '07.
The high jump event is less competitive than the A boys(JC) level.
From 1st to 8th in the IVP, we have
1. 1.91m
2. 1.80m
3. 1.80m
4. 1.80m
5. 1.75m
6. 1.75m
7. 1.70m
8. 1.70m
If I stick on with my conditioning plan, I should be able to hold up my name in the lower of the 8s when i compete in my IVP debut.
I caught an inspiring article from Uncle Sha, the familiar face of local track and field.
We all have dreams and what do you do when that dream of yours is deferred
" What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?"

Do you quit or do you comeback stronger, faster and bigger?
We all are capable of great things, so never ever give up on your dreams
Danny Glover narrates this powerful Nike ad, with lines straight from a Langston Hughes poem, “A Dream Deferred”

I felt so helpless today. I went down to Fortune Centre in Bugis to do an installment payment for the options course. Turns out, I need a credit card for that ! So the lady tried to swipe my card multiple times for the balance amount but the maximum she could was S$1k. Now I have to ask my sis to lend me her credit card. It's probably time for me to get my own card.
It's scary for me. Going to an office in 11th storey. A not-yet-20yo kid taking on the corporate working area. All these big and lonely decisions about the stockmarket course. I'd wish someone could lend me a hand on this journey to financial freedom. I wonder what's other guys who just ord-ed doing. I hope I'm right about this course and prepared enough to extract money from the stockmarket losers. If not, I've got nothing.
Here's a song to broadcast my feelings.
Too much love will kill you - Queen
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that its impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you wont understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.
