Confessions of a Shoppaholic Stank.

Someone elses comment on the movie's thread on Imdb.com

"I really thought that this movie carried a certain amount of wisdom; instead of this, I was left with a moronic picture for brain-dead. Thanks, but no thanks. If a gay guy hates a chick flick, then you know it can't be good."

The + / - Day

Today was so-so.. Today's forex trade wiped out yesterday's gain. sigh. i was looking for two days back-to-back profit. I just got started on an auto-trade account, and it's too early to tell if it'll work out. Did an hour an half's tennis instruction, so at least that's intangible income. Ka-chink! $120. Damn. Had the trade work out, would have netted $360 by this time of writing. Oh well.. I got another trade coming up.. It should hit around 1-2am if it breaks through



Sent out alot of Talk Fusion and Fusion Excel marketing mails today. Hope I get some responses and enrolments.

Also trying out a Metatrader 4 Expert Advisor, a.k.a. automatic trading solution. Here's a screen shot!12 Simultaneous trades! 10 pts here, 20 pts there, 50 pts there.. Quite amazing and fascinating. Haven't materialised any profit since 2 hours ago when it started. Expect to see money by morning. Lot sizes are very small. If at this rate acc go down 10%, I will scrap this plan. Amazing though... 12 trades simultaneously!



Louis has apparently made some breakthrough. He's come up with an 8 markets system that is supposed to have a higher probability and capacity for profit. Tried that on demo today, and after 2 hours, I was like.. ok.. shouldn't have trusted him....good thing didn't trade live... this would have failed too.

- But when i received a "close all positions" sms, i went to check.. wow 67pips profit! Could have been 120pips if i went to close it on time!

This method will allow a safe total capital exposure of even 100k. Just need to trade 120,000, then can make my goal sum.

Today's result still too early tell if this works. I expect to wake up with my travel expenses covered for the day.

Will monitor, and see how teaching's done.

Perfect song for air-banging

OMG I just like dancing to this song. Obscenely dance to it, that is.. ball-shaking, gyrating, air banging, para-para.. u get the picture..

$223.56 in an hour!

Typo! 50 pips to be exact. But two trade entries.. Meant to let one entry soar but market pulled back

$223.56 in an hour!

Sigh.... at this rate I'll need a lot size of 120000 to hit my target of at least $1000 a day!

Broken Strings Sing A Long

What do you think of this song? Do you think "but you broke me" refers to her cheating on him? To me, the rest of the song seems like they were once in love, but lost the fire for each other. Anything to add?

Should I get a Segway?

The Segway demos at Cineleisure Orchard inline with the "Mall Cop" movie screenings were making me drool.

Perhaps.. the segway human transporter could be the perfect solution to my perfectly professional bum bumming life, revolving around making money while sitting on my arse or on my flat belly, and when I have to move about, I merely lean back or forth.

However, When i did think of walking the dog with a segway, I was wondering.. gee... if he's gonna drag me, which McDuffy is so prone to, I'd be leaning all the way, and thus going at full speed...Possibly either lose control or run him over.. LOL

On it tears me up

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

"Broken Strings" by James Morrison. Damn. This sounds too nice to be a breakup song. The above was the only bit I remembered.

Lost from cosy warmth

Lost from cosy warmth,
Lost from cheery gaze,
My soul's been swept away.

Warrior lost his sword,
Lost his train of thought,
He face a faded grey.

Going through the changes
I had to make.
To contain my heart's
thats about to break.

I'll take a boat, plane or train,
Whatever it takes to find you.
Won't give up! won't lose faith!
Even if hope was in cast outer space.
I just can't live without you,
And I miss you.

The trees all stood still,
Only if you will.
I'm searching for your trace.

Going through the changes
I had to make.
To contain my heart's
thats about to break.

I'll take a boat, plane or train,
Whatever it takes to find you.
Won't give up! won't lose faith!
Even if hope was in cast outer space.
I just can't live without you,
And I miss you.

Bleeding every morn'
Pierced by waves of thorns,
Forlorn....

I'll take a boat, plane or train,
Whatever it takes to find you.
Won't give up! won't lose faith!
Even if hope was in cast outer space.
I just can't live without you,
And I miss you.

Freaking Profitable Day!

Today was a fantastic day! It's a bit of a dejavu actually. Last week I bumped into a mysterious man who was able to read my character, age, mother's name, favorite colour, flower from my face, and he told me some good forecast.

Well it does not hurt to be positive. Last week, following one of my trader's freezing his trades on my account, I got pretty sick and tired of static account size, and decided to get my hands dirty in Forex again, after all these years. Two years ago, when I was just starting out dating Griblit, I had this one particular profit run, where I went from an account base of 2000USD, all the way up to 10000USD in just 4 short months. Then, I got cocky, and also very careless, and traded all the way DOWN to a nightmarish $160.94 USD!

However, of late I've been on a good run. Surely there were the initial jitters, and account size fluctuations in the first 3 days, but I've been ultra-conservative. And I must say... like my tennis skills, my forex trading has also improved significantly after the long sabbatical.

I've been very much preoccupied with numbers, thinking up strategies and all, and have come up with a few.

check this out! Today's account growth!



That's right! Started with EUR $ 3620.88, and ended with EUR $3728.80! That's a gain of EUR $207.12! In SGD, that's $405.96!

This one's the best trade of the day!



55pips profit! I actually had a second lot doing the same trade, that I was looking to capture a greater profit run, but unfortunately, hit my trailing stop. Earlier morning, I had another trade of 37+ pips!

My second order for the day didn't get fulfilled, otherwise can look at almost double the amount!

For long I have lived with an un-fulfilled target of earning $1000 a day. I have a hunch that it might happen this year. Pray for me too!

YOur loss really

WTF? I'm actually surprised. They're saying I didn't get in. Wow! That must mean Singapore will be having at least 30 world-beaters in the music recording industry in the next 1 year. Really?

I'm not one bit upset. I find this funny actually. Like some kind of crude joke. I, Julian Wong, did not get in. Right.. 3-Octave Vocal Range - did not get in. Others have 4? To my best knowledge, the average singer only has 2. Superior Lung Capacity - did not get in. So.. smokers who don't do sports can top my singing? Right, Perform numerous times over 2007-2008 - didn't make the cut. Concise and clear and properly accented pronunciation - didn't get in.. Right... so the new in thing is to sing any top 10 song in Singlish.. Imagine.. Coldplay's Viva La Vida..

"I heaOL JerusaREM bIAOS r ringing..
RomanS calvary choRE-IRS are singing
Be my mirrEL my sWWWord my shIEEL
Visionaries in a foreign feIAO
For some reason I can't exPRAIN
I know St PeterS will call my name.
Never an honest wordS..
That was when I ruleZ the wHIRL"

Right. Singapore singing for you. KNN CCB. All u ppl r Chao Lan Jiao. To borrow a phrase outta Rockson Tan's book, "even my Lampar Hair can judge better than you".

Whatever Lorhz! U r missin out a very powderful brandz of Engrish Singing in your comps lorhx. U all r more COCK than Singapore Idle.

Talk about un-deserving.

"Glenn sounds sore and jealous", said one netizen, pertaining to Glenn Ong's recent comments on a Saturday's Straits' Times Life section on his separation with Jamie Yeo, and new-found love in Jean Danker. 

Talk about BS. I never bought all that victim shit. I'm glad Glenn has voiced, so my previous post is now less speculative, than real. More like, the truth can't be put any nicer. 

Glenn said, among other things, "I did not feel as if I was becoming a better person", and that Jamie Yeo was an "Ang Moh trapped in a Chinese body", or to that effect. 

Glad he also noted that Jean is comparatively more respectful. Jamie was less into things a majority holds dear, such as Chinese New Year. Now do you see the link up? 

And what's there to be sore about, when (Glenn said), "they just fell into my lap. It just happened?"

I'm no stranger to that "it just happened" thing. This week's StarBlog entry is about Childhood Crushes. I've conveniently left out all the gals that I spoke with and dated, as they wouldn't count for crushes - especially not if they threw themselves at me. 

Check out the "Hi I'm Jamie Yeo, and I'm a host from ESPN Star Sports". Geez.. Disappeared from the media for 6 months and return with a fake Ang Moh Accent. Harr... Wait till u see my fake Thai Accent!

Mida-Kudasai!
