Night at the Museum 2
Met up with SIM group on Friday night, was supposed to meet at PS but the parking was FULL, all 6 floors of the carpark, ended up i can only park at Orchard, at my favourite parking place due to the reasonable price (and i still have no idea the name of the building, only know it is beside Paragon). Passed through 3 ERP when i was making circles around Orchard area =.=", and the traffic was real heavy.Cineleisure was where we ended up instead. Dinner time was when i received the news of YX's ROM. Hmm i have to admit it came as a real surprise, the girls say she too 冲动 already, June 14 is the day, and it is only like 3 weeks away. Need to take leave ...
After dinner we decided to catch a movie, the timings all so-so, so we changed our venue again to Cathay that is just besides PS (deja vu ...) to try our luck. I recall the last time i watched a movie there was around the time the building just opened, the time when Hark Music was still opened to the public, the time YYMS used to spend our time there and not KTV, sounded like a long time ago.
Movie was at 1.30am, the time we bought the tickets was close to 11pm, so ... 2 hours + to go, how to kill the time? All we needed is Ben & Jerry's shop and a deck of poker cards. Daidee with forfeit of buying ice creams is good enough, especially for the 2 girls. The rule is whoever reaches an accumulative losing card count of 30 first is the loser, and will have to buy a single scoop of ice cream as forfeit. (And we already had ice cream earlier on before the game). Once someone reaches 30, he/she will buy ice cream and everybody's count will reset to 0, then the game continues. Total in the 2 hours we had 3 or 4 scoops, i also forgotten, only remember i and Liyao never lose and Peter was the ... "most generous".
Then as the time approaches our movie starting time, it was also time for Ben & Jerry's to close shop. At that point we counted, me and Peter was just at the 20 cards mark, so we headed up to the cinema area to wait. We decided to continue the game as there was still around 20 minutes more to go, and the forfeit was changed to Nachos for the movie. The girls who were safe from the forfeit, as they both were only around the 10 cards mark, decided to make either one of us, the guys, lose to pay the forfeit, which is also when the game started to get real fun. Because me and Peter was just as determined not to lose the forfeit. After a number of rounds of the most strategic Daidee games anyone can ever play, it was 10 minutes to movie start, and we decided to stop playing (or so the guys thought originally). We counted and Peter was at 29, only one card away from the forfeit. I was much safer. Me and Peter were celebrating that we did not have to pay the forfeit, and so we went for a toilet break before movie starts.
5 minutes to movie start, the girls came out of the toilet, looked at their watches, and "insisted" that we play one more game, they said still got enough time! So we crazily played the last game outside the cinema entrance, and the only way for Peter not to pay the forfeit was for him to win the last game, as he is one card away. After the last battling Daidee game, I won, and ended up Peter losing with only 1 card in his hand! So we had to buy the Nachos, and we really did make it in time for the movie also.
We had so much fun in the process, the forfeit is not important, it just spices up the game. I'm simply glad that i have different friends who really, gave me different types of fun when doing different activities together. 大家友情万岁!

可不可以爱我?
It has been quite some time already since i get to hear a good song. Strongly recommend this song, heard before a number of times on radio, but always never get to hear the title, finally last Sunday i happen to switch to MTV channel on TV and it is playing this song!卢学睿 - <可不可以爱我>
********************************
为什麽如此的安静
为什麽明明想靠近 却还在迟疑
努力的我保持镇定 努力开拓话题
最後却溃不成军
为什麽如此的美丽
深刻的烙在心里 最温柔的酷刑
每一天无法不想你
连闭上眼睛 怎麽都是你
你可不可以爱我 可不可以想我
虽然我对自己没有一点的把握
别害怕我难过 告诉我你真实的感受
至少忐忑已告一段落
你可不可以爱我 可不可以看我
反正看或不看我依然失魂落魄
成全不是美德 拒绝也不是一种罪过
你能给我快乐还是寂寞
想念燃烧个不停
我快置身灰烬
你是我的呼吸
********************************
This song really give me a lot of feel, and the main reason is because .... i ever tried to write a song purely out of fun, it was around 2 years back, but i only written a few lines and did not continue. And my pathetic few lines are almost similar to this part:
你可不可以爱我 可不可以想我
虽然我对自己没有一点的把握
别害怕我难过 告诉我你真实的感受
The words are almost identical, although i also forgotten the exact words i wrote. Another reason i like this song is because the lyrics are simple yet meaningful enough. 赞!

Come Come Join Me!
I'm back after MIA a while, main reason is because i lent my laptop to my brother, and although i still have a desktop PC, i only prefer to blog using my laptop, also don't know why leh ...
Completed my 3 days Forex course last week, woo definitely enriching stuff learnt, till today i am still figuring out the strategies and studying the market movement, but i am confident once i understood all these and mastered the market, it can only mean one thing. There were games played during the course, more interesting were 2 of them - The "Lose Money Game" and the "Win Money Game". As their names meant, the objective of the games were to lose and win the most amount of money in a stated period of time respectively. We started off with a capital of USD50000, and will trade as we wish. Winner groups for both games will win real cash of $260, and there are two people in a group.
Me and Neo were in a group, and we came in third in the "Lose Money Game". We eventually ended up as runners-up because the original runners-up group did not follow some of the rules exactly, but of course, all of the games were played in good spirit. After we checked the results in terms of the amount they lost, we only lost by a close margin of around few hundred dollars! (In this case, it means they lost slightly more than us by a few hundred dollars, as the objective was to lose money). Argh ...
Later on in the day we had the "Win Money Game", where the end result was a total of around 20 groups, only 2 groups managed to make money, and the profits were in hundreds only. The rest all lost, including us. Lessons were learnt, and here are the basics:
1) What you did when you were trying to lose money, you can't just reverse your actions and expect to win. It will not work. At all.
2) In trading, it is not the quantity of your trades, it is quality that matters.
3) You will fail without a plan and strategy, something i am still working on.
And i was pretty surprised that in the "Win Money Game" we actually had a winning rate of 85% in terms of the number of trades we did, why we still lost money overall is because the losing trades we had are of higher value, so they are still not enough to cover the winning ones. Of course, this is only demo account with fake money. What i like about Forex trading is that you can actually put a "Stop Loss" to your trades, which means you can set the maximum amount you can lose and once that amount hits, the trade will close. We never used this during the game as we wanted to see what will happen. Nevertheless, i just hope my winning rate can be maintained at 80% when i moved on to real money. I will really be satisfied enough.
And lastly i'm also glad i made some new friends in the course, and all share the common goal as i do, all are so eager to make money and we already formed groups to trade together and share our thoughts and lessons learnt during the weekly review lessons. An interesting fact was that in the course all the people my age are guys, there are no young ladies below age of 30. I guess what Ryan, a new friend who is same age as me, told me is correct: "Girls our age is only concerned with one thing, how to package themselves better so as to find a better husband in the future, they are not concerned with how to make money for now." Well, judging from what i see, i have to agree with him. The reason why he joined also is to make more money for marriage, as he said his girlfriend who is older than him is "stressing" him already. Woo.
