Siblings: Just came back from dinner at Lemon Garden Cafe with bro/sis ... bro-in-laws and sis-in-laws. There were six of us ... we have 'lost' our eldest sis ... her birthday today, actually. We do have another younger sis, given to our spore-aunt as we were very poor(financially) last time. So, left four of us bro/sis. We may not be as close ... but inside us, we know we could rely on each other as we are siblings. Yes, that bonds that we treasured so much, tho we seldom talk about it. Today, everyone is doing well with their respective partners. Financially, I m well behind the others. I m not shy ... I just need to work my way up and learn from them. We are making a point to have dinner together ... at least once a month ... enjoying each other company. I am glad to be back to KL ... to be with my siblings. And I am glad all doing well, with positive thinking. Thank you.

school holiday : 2 weeks of school-holiday for my kinder-going kids is over. I did not bring them anywhere as I was too busy with so much of stacking work-loads ... hope I could be able to be with more often during their holidays.

exams : Semester one exams start tmr ... I will be free from teaching but need to invigilate and mark papers in coming days.

tuition : Tuition classes taking a break for a month. That is part of my huge income ... taking a break too, so time for maggi-mee ... at least for a month!!

ipad : I was given an ipad2 ... a new tool for me to learn and to use. It is yet another gadget ... and I feel that I m too slow to catch up with those new technologies ... but I know I need to update myself!! Will be more organised and plan for further learning ... it is endless!! Ipad is a good tool and I believe I could use it more for my e-learning platform ... or keeping into with my networks.

book-writing : The opportunity is there ... if I m going to push myself a little hard, I think I could just make the 'debut'. The first step is always the hardest ... and I hope I could manage. But, I must try ... even if I fail to get it publish or it is not 'well' accepted. It is the first step for me ... to be an author! Can I make it? Just do it. Perhaps having ipad could help me to be 'mobile'.

helping : I do have a wish ... to help those newbies and to guide those novices in trading or investing!! I am serious ... as many loss so much of money into KLSE-hole due to IGNORANCE. By knowing just simple basics, actually ... we do not need to lose(much). While learning could be tedious and continuous, a support group for us to learn(a platform) is important. So, we have created our tratle's group!! I still wish to write more in this blog whenever I could ... to help some appreciative readers(newbies). My target audience now are those NEW to markets .. those newbies who don't know what analysis to look for, what links to read ... what books to buy etc etc. Yes, I want to help ... so, by writing this blog, replying some in forums ... and writing a book, I hope I could play a small part in educating those new investors.

tratles : I did not have meetings with them for some time now ... and some of them, I do not see them for months!! At times, I do wonder if they are still in markets or are they no longer interested to learn? Yeah ... we have our own group, and keeping the group closed in order to keep the external noises. Yet, as the group grow larger, the learning could be challenging. I do hope many will see learning is continuous ...that is why my trading course is NOT a few days course. It is on going ... and with those willing to learn further, will remain in the group for discussions etc etc. I am planning for cohort-7 soon ... as I do have a few in my KIV-list. It is a basic 'technical analysis' course where you pay less than 10% of those offered outside. Cheap is not good? Wait ... I will get some of them as 'testimonials'.

stock analysis meeting : I am planning to have my first meeting soon for my tratles. I think I won't mind open it to the public interested to analyse some stocks using technical-analysis ... and sharing information(fundamentals and news related). Just pay for my time, knowledge to share is free.
courses : So far I was not approached by any of those professionals, who offer trading courses to work or collaborate with them. I do not favour any of those out there ..one day, I do hope I have large-base of followers, enough to attract these companies to have interest in me. At the moment, I am independent individual. Also, I do hope to attract some investment-banks or broker-houses attention. If I could work with them(win-win) with the view of helping the newbies, I will like to venture into those. *hint hint* ... I am available!

forums : Only i3-investor admin shown some interests. My blog is featured there and I hope I will be more professional in my writings. Haha. Well, I get nothing much from there except ... some comments from the 'users' or readers there. It is a good platform for many of us, the infomation and sharings.

politics : Need to get it out of my system, not to read about politics and such. I should focus more on my own works. More importantly, how political risk could affect the markets. So ... I decided to move to HKSE till the general election is over, with more stocks diving lower. KLCI at 1580 level is at high end, and I dont expect it to break 1700 ... not in 2012 or 2013. We are more of in bear-rally.
teaching : I will still be teaching ... I think I will hang on my full-time job until I could get a job paying me more than my current salary. My vast experience in teaching Math is invaluble ... so, I do hope I could share my experiences with those young Maths teachers too and motivate them to teach better/good.

euro2012 : REcently I re-subcribed to the sport-channel(astro) as I hope to catch a game or two. England(due to Liverpool) and Italy(due to AC Milan) will be my teams, as always. Out of Europe, Brazil is always my fav team. Well, I m from the 80s ... so, those were the teams we support and I still do. By the way, I do not watch football, actually.

Olympic : Yes, I hope to follow some games like badminton and swimming. Could Lee CW overcome the superior LinDan?

Time to analyse some stocks for my stock-watch group.
