Doing my "Ultimate Stretch"!
Along the way when I stretched out on the grass, some1 actually asked me if this is part of the Yoga stretching! I couldnt tell him that I duno what it's called, but I have alwis called it the "Ultimate Stretch!"
My recent running and trading kakis:
From Left: TengHin, Sifu Eric
Yes! Beat the Sunrise! When walking back, it was still dark!
The Sun was abt to rise! Beautiful!!
Decent timing too! Achieved the timing i set for myself beginning of the year when I was at peak w running, amazing how the mind can work!
Since lack of training, I had a strategy to make sure I can complete, I was starting to doubt whether I can carry out as planned but after 20km, I told myself "I CAN DO IT! Yay!
Strategy as follows: w 2 packets of Power Gel tugged inside my shorts!
-20km (continuous running), consume half power gel at 20km,
-22km, stretching + U-turn point
(a guy tapped my shoulder and ask: "Erm.... dun mind, can I borrow your pacing for the next 18km?") After warning him that my pacing is rather slow n I will be stopping every 4km to do stretching, we cont. tog.
-26km (consumer half power gel), stretching every 4km. (amazingly I could still run!!?! Was it the power of PowerGel?)
-30km (consumer half power gel), stretching. (from this pt on, I was physically rather tired liao!)
-The it became brisk walk 2km, jog 2km till end... actually, I mus say that the guy (DaveChoo) helped me, else I would have given up n walk till 42km... but he commented I walk rather fast! wuahaahh! make up for the lost time mah!
-39.8km. I made a call to Starry n BroXiong. Tell them I am at near 40km mark & will be coming back soon! ETA 5.30am to 5.45am!
-40km Started jogging back again, last cycle liao! Tahan all the way! & Mr.DaveChoo refused to go ahead w/o me 1st & insisted to cross the finish line tog!
-42km Saw the FINISH pt right in front! Dash/Last Burst ALL THE WAY!!! I heard BroXiong, Starry and Sui shouted for me when I dashed past them towards the end! YES! Carried out my plans & it worked!
I forgot to stop my watch but when I rembed, it showed me 5h32m.
Actually Net Chip timing came out to be 5h30mins3sec! Way too cool! Yes, I made it in 1 piece!
Happy.... I am a very happy woman...
thank you Mr.DaveChoo for pacing me!
thank you Sui, BroXiong, Starry for being there for me!
thank you TengHin, Eric and Richard who trained with me for the past 1 month!
thank you my dear friends who smsed me, called me to check on me after the race too!
Becos of ur support, I have emerged a winner.... =D
Came across this in a local chinese mag. This guy wrote in to the horoscope section to enquiry abt Leo Woman. His question was something like this:
"Hi Ms Teacher Wei, I have recently had a gf who is a Leo, but we have agruments quite often. Can u teach me how I can have a harmonious relationship with her?"
Anyway, it's interesting to read how this Teacher Wei describes a Leo Woman's character... so true of me.... & even though I knew myself that way, I could not have describe it better than her! In my limited chinese reading abilities, i managed to grasp the idea n totally agree with Teacher Wei!
So true!! *FAINT!*
-------
Btw, I stayed over at bro Xiong's place last nite... Sis-in-law lend me her PJ since it was an impromptu decision n I was not prepared to sleep over. Piang, I almost fainted when I saw the PJ she handed me....
Too cutesy for my taste! But really funny! Cos even my bro said he is nt used to see me wear it, to make matters worse, he added that from the back view, I look like a domestic helper, esp with my tan skin! *faint!* I look like Maria?! OMG! So sad lah!
My darling Prince Garren took a photo for me!
Niceee? So cutesy hor?!
These days if I am even wearing something to sleep... (ops!), it will be of very little material.
The weather is just too humid to sleep in any amount of cloth!!! Goodness!
Anyway, my taste for PJ has alwis been the lacey type... think Victoria Secret! Kekekk!
No lah.... it's just a Singlet n man's boxers shorts...
Alot has happened lately. Good n ....not so gd stuff...
My close friend, W's father had succumbed to cancer. His fight was abt 9months... during this period of times, I had the oppty to visit him n Aunty quite often. I see the family's struggle to keep him going...
it was a tough fight as the diagnosis was already at Stage 4.
It was painful to see him grow thinner n thinner each week... but I knew he is now no longer in pain. They always say God needs more helpers, the good man always go 1st. But then again, that's God's promise: Eternal Life.
Over the next few days, was caught up with work + going down to the wake.... see if I can offer any help at all, comfort. I became the offical medicine-administrator for the family dog most of the time - no complains, any help I can rendered is gd I guess.
W needs to eat more, she is getting insanely thin... everyone tells me to make sure she eats more. I guess it's difficult now. But soon.... life will go back to almost normal... we all have to pick ourselves up at some point, I have no qualms my strong friend n her family will do that too.
Then we shall resume more meet up makan sessions, fatten her up! =)
Hope u are feeling better, W. We love u n we want u to know that... =)

My dearest friend, V has finally "pop the thing out" (in her exact words!). Yes, she has given birth to a wonderful n cheeky chubby baby girl! so proud of her lah!
Since I was in the midst of recovering from my little "Anal Adventure", Me n Starry went to visit her at her home. Cute little Ashleigh!
Same birth day as one of Sanrio's character Minna No!
Starry trying her hand on carrying baby!
I likey babies! Esp when they are so small.... n pukes easily! I can handle that! Till toodler age is the fab! Cutesy!
Just dun give me a primary school kid who ask me alot of : "WHY? WHY WHY?" questions! ARGH!
My trading friends directed me to this website which teaches more abt trading.... kinda tot that after the "Great Anal Adventure", i need to start to kick my own ass n get up, do something!
Been watching lotsa trading videos... if u are interested in Forex trading, check this guy's web out! Lotsa video/tutorials... yes, that's part of how i learn too! Nial Fuller
Chanced upon this in his website... really cool!
I have always like Will Smith.... long time from the days of *FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR* the Amercian Sitcom I used to watch (other than F.R.I.E.N.D.S), I even tried to do the theme song - the rap by Will Smith! Yes! That was how crazy I was abt the sitcom n Will Smith!
Of cos I never miss his movies.... Recently watched would be , brilliant performance!
Anyway, this video is abt him n his famous philosophy:
“I want to do good. I want the world to be better
because I was here.”
Hope u will be as inspired as I am by him...
"I am only Me, but if I can make that Difference, I want to be that Me..."
Ok, for those who think of "Anal Sex" as kinky. It is so NOT!
I experienced it.... or rather, pretty close to what I would have imagined Anal Sex to feel like. *P.S: I am not S.M*
Now... I have been suffering from Hemorrhoids ever since I was a Young Teen. Yes, I am the suay 1. I definitely do not belong to the common demographics, think: Chinese, Male, 35-50yrs, Probably wrinkled n balding....
Mainly cos I have a dreadful habit, I like to read in the toilet when conducting the morning exercise! & & since I suffered from Constipation as a child - it's quite normal to strain in e "Sour-Mango-Face" expression whenever I am...AHemm... u know, doing the big business....
So, yes, I have Hemorrhoids.... aka Piles (internal), have been having blood in my stool for as long as I remb!
I found out that back in Roman Bibical Days,
this was actually a Dread Disease!
Actually I did a Ligation procedure abt 3 yrs ago.
I only remb the rubber band fell off after abt 3 days without doing what it was supposed to do. & I suffered big time for it. Apparently, there were a lot of air that was "Pumped in", probably due to the "thrusting" movement of the doc's "Equipment"....I remb that the doc was a rather cute guy, I vaguely tot to myself "Shit, My 1st anal sex experience is with this cute doc..... *Faint* " the anesthesia took effect.
To have a piece of mind & since I do not belong to the usual demographics of having Hemorrhoids, I was adviced to do a Colonscopy as well, basically like sodomy... a scanning probe is inserted n a camera inside will see my colon n rectum..... make sure the bleeding is not related to possibly of colon cancer (these days it's so common), phew it was not.... just Piles.....
Anyway, I had a serious case of Prolasped Hemorrhoids again.... it's bad cos the inflamed GIANTIC-Pimple-like-Hemorrhoids actually got pushed outa my anus....Yes... *OUCH*....
imagine u have a Blister from Dragonboat, right inbetween ur left and right cheek butts.... each step is a pain when it rubs against the surface.... well.... now imagine it's at the anus.... i can only say it's WOOOOOOLAAaaaaaaaaaa Laaaaaaa!
Thank Goodness my friend referred me to her doc, a Professor n Head of Department in SGH for such matters.... she stressed that he is VERY GOOD. I tot that since this is probably gona be my last Anal Sex experience, I better make it a memorable n Good one!
So I decided to go for the Permanent Treatment called THD (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization) "THD-HP is an invasive treatment. minimally for haemorrhoids and prolapse. hemorrhoidal. THD using Ultra doppler ultrasound will be a flow of red blood. Easy to sew these arteries "tie off". And prolapsed tissue is sutured back to the anatomical location of tissue without excision. THD will include nerve or above the line. dentate. because the pain is minimal. THD will normally. Outpatient settings and return to normal activities within a few days."
*CAUTION: Those considering Anal Sex, pls reconsider after watching this video*
Anyway, my doc was really cute, those he's a professor, he's not old n balding at all! He wore a Nice Pink shirt n got a squirty clean pair of specs!
On the contary, he's quite a flamboyant, chirpy middle aged guy, with bright eyes n an uncanny enthusiasm, it's hard to imagine he love his job.... it means that he actually enjoy looking at and probing his finger into ass tat look like this.
I was lucky i guess, I called on Monday to get an appt, & I got a wed Appt.
When I saw him on Wed's morning, let his finger do the probing (prologue to anal sex) & got a surgery appt on Thursday! It's all chop-chop-Kurry-Pop! very fast!
So on Wednesday, I have to do this: Clean up my ass to ensure tat my experience with Dr.Pink will be a clean clear cut and pleasant affair....
It's a whole bottom of clear liquid I have to pump into my ass, within 1-2 mins, my ass is supposed to purge out all the slimey stuff n be Anal Sex ready... Gross...
----
Anyway, I suffered the morning without Breakfast.... starving like crazy.... u all know I eat lotsa for BF & now, I cant even drink a sip of water!!?! Driving me crazy!
After checking myself in at 1021am.... it was only about 12.30-12.40 when I finally meet Dr.Pink again!
Again he shook my hands politely & laugh easily asking how I am feeling, explained the procedures again.... niceeeee.....
I didnt know I will be adminstered General Anesthesia (GA) thru the veins (cos I got a IV Plug) or thru gas... but the Anesthest bluffed me lah!
Gave me a mask, told me it's Oxygen & asked me to breathe in. The Oxygen smelled Funny.... So I tot it GA must be thru Gas... told me to breathe in 2 more & I will be in "dreamland"... before I could tell him off to "STOP KIDDING A 30 YEAR OLD LADY!".... I was in "Dreamland". Bleah.
Anyway, I woke up shortly & the 1st thing I asked was "what time is it?" It was only 1.05pm... so my Anal Sex experience was rather a Quickie... so much for the preparation! Bleah.
It was not really Painful, more like Soreness....it started to kick in. I was still drifting in & out of sleep...
Frankly, if u asked me how did "Anal Sex" feel like, I would described it as "Feels like Kena F**K by a Horse!" NOT that I know how it feels like to be F**K by a Horse, but my imagination is limited at just that!
Except that Dr.Pink's "Probe" is not as big as I would imagine a Horse's to be.... still, I would say Dr.Pink has a Big Boy...
Luckily Starry took half a day to pick me up. Had actually wanted to go back on my own n learnt from the nurse that they do not allow that anymore after many cases of pple going back fainting half way.... they have since changed n the protocol is to have discharge some1 only if family/friends came to pick up the patient. Phewww.... thanks Starry for insisting to come!
Blood n shit stained bedsheets.
Strangely I felt quite ok, except for the soreness, i cant imagine why the hospital would insist on Family/friends pick up?! After all, it's only a Day surgery & I have overstayed by 1 hr (in order to claim my insurance).
By 4pm after the pharmacist issued my medication, I changed into my home clothes n waited for the Nurse to remove the IV plug. Little did I know wat to expect. Missy kept insisting that I sit down on the bed b4 she remove the IV Plug, but I told her it's painful to sit down. So I leaned against the bed. Then I knew why.
within 1 min after she removed the plug n pasted the handiplast on the puctured location, I felt faint.
I stood up & I tot Starry that I am feeling faint & I am gona Black out on her. I could not balance myself & tot I was going to die. I broke into cold sweat & the nurse quickly push the wheel chair over n sit me down. I could not even balance my head cos there was not support but I tried to lean my head at the Pole of the wheelchair but kept slipping off. I feel slumped.
My t-shirt was all wet from the sweat n the next thing I know, she took my Blood Pressure n told me it was very very low.... normal person shd be abt 120 BP bah, mine was like 60+? She fanned me with a newspaper for abt 5 mins, gave me two cups of glucose and continue fanning till I felt better. my shirt was soaked thru.
In the end, I lie down back into the bed.... haiz... only after abt 10mins I felt better n could joke again... i probably scared the hell outa Starry cos she said I looked so pale like a white sheet (she jokingly said that she finally understood the description she alwis read abt in stories). I replied to tell her that that's probably the only time that I am at my Fair-est! kekek!
Another BP taken b4 the nurse agreed to release me! she only said "Better".
I was given another cup of hot Milo
(oh... Milo never tasted so good!) n 2 packets of Crackers!
But I had to sit on only Mr.Right or Left Butt cheek...
Took a cab back.... but somehow I drifted in & outa sleep again in the cab... I fell asleep shortly after i got home & didnt even know that Starry left.
For the next few days, whenever I need to do my big biz, I am supposed to use this 1st....
Numb the area abit b4 Put Puting.... Bleah..
Quite alot of Medication....
It's not too bad considering that this THD procedure is relatively new & the downtime is really lesser. MC is for 9 days, but I am expected to return to normal activities within 4 days. Dr.Pink said : "U'll be able to start running again very soon!"
Recently smone asked me: "How is trading like... I alwis read abt those Newspaper advers abt Forex Courses... LOCK IN PROFIT... only 15mins a day... become Financially Free! Is it true?"
I took a rather deep breath... swallowed hard... before i drop the bomb on her...
"It's tough like shit!"
Maybe I should be less straight forward.... But the truth is this...
Somehow what I experienced on Friday was something familiar... like I was sailing on a Patrol...
I have never really slept when I was sailing during a Patrol duty. I merely rested... whenever I can feel a sudden rav in the ship's engine (my cabin is in the lower deck u see), I will make a call up the bridge (where the guys are on duty keeping watch)... I will just ask if everything is ok, sudden movements usually dun mean good news... mayb to avoid some traffic, to get away from traffic etc. - esp at nite (there are just so many unlit little sampans out fishing n they come out in gangs, trawling their nets along the way... these can get caught in the propellers etc.
Anyway, my point is this... I NEVER sleep onboard. Last friday, I had a Open trade position, it is in the Greens ($$$+ve)... but I wanna get more since I am already in it. i had to set alarms at 1, 2, 3 and 3.45am (close US mkt closes at 4am SIN n i wanna close it b4 the weekend)... so in the midst of my blurr-ness... I manual closed my position. Meaning: I pocketed the $$$$, but there is a possibility that I can Pocket More if I didnt Blur Blur-ly close it off prematurely!
Before I closed off my position, I merely REST-ed... couldnt really sleep actually.... cos I was subconsciously thinking abt my position. My mind is still re-enacting the procedures, the entry, the exit, the charts n Candles etc....
I have been asked many times: "Is Trading Stressful?!"
My reply will alwis be:"You BET!"
I woke up on Saturday morning feeling rather tired but pleased with my winning trade... I dun blog much abt winning trades if you notice, cos they are fewer n of cos, i am alittle Pan-Dang, dun wanna break the M-A-G-I-C...
Anyway, I just wanna say that I really LOVE my Orange MePhone! YAY! So much convenience! Except that Battery-Not-Enough! Hahah!
---------------
Pple who knows me hear me complaining abt my insomnia problems, but lately i have problem staying awake just to set the next day's alarm... I have problem waking up at 7am even when I slept thru 7 hours straight at nite....
Yes, that's how mentally tired i am ... I feel guilty cos I hardly get to play with my kiddos... nevertheless, i try to play with them whenever I come home, b4 i fall asleep & b4 i leave the house in the morning....
You see, I have been trading outdoors almost everyday for the past 3 weeks...
it's tiring, cos I am someone who likes routine... i hate having to worry abt where to go to each day when i meet my Mentor... our constraints... Power Point.
So we have been paying our "rentals" at Airport (Starbucks, TCC), East Coast Park (CoffeeBean, National Civil Service Recreation Resort), Tampines (Starbucks, TeaDot), Orchard Central (QuinozSub).
It's tough cos I dun even drink coffee & i dun believe in paying for for Super-Extortion-price-Branded-Coffee....But i have to take it as Rental... On one hand, i need to keep my expenses low, on the other hand I have to pay $4.00 for Peppermint Tea at Starbucks, when I can buy $5.50 for my fav Dilmah Peppermint tea bags - 25 teabags.... 25 BLOODY Teabags... Even then, I'll usually shop at NTUC instead of Cold Storage to save $0.25! goodness grief.... can u imagine how guilty i feel?
Despite all these, i am happier with my trading skills.... learning like an apprentice under the guidance of my Mentor... i feel tat I am so blessed to have met him. Frankly, I was in despair sometime back. I prayed very hard to be shown some light if Trading is what God has planned for me... Miraculously, by some chance things just happened.
A "colleague" whom i have only met thrice, randomly asked if I would like to join him n Mentor at ECP. He said mayb I can learn some things from him. I went half heartedly... u see, I am naturally shy and not very socialable - not the Haaah Laa Haah Laa type. I went anyway.
2nd time I met him, we randomed decided to go for a jog after trading at ECP. After the jog, he asked me if I would like to be his apprentice... a pet project he is taking. I jumped at the chance! Our agreement is based on me as a "Trial" for the close apprenticeship, if I can produce results, i will be his Testimony, a triumph card for this business.
Although I agreeed on the spot. I couldnt well sleep that day. I was very excited, at the sametime afraid. I toked to a few pple, mainly to get it off my chest(yes, mine is almost chest lah,almost). Frankly, I have nothing to lose except Time n Effort. Mentor on the other hand has SOoooo much more to risk than what I have in all!!! For this, I thank God for showing me the LIGHT, my mentor.
I took the challenge.... THREE long weeks now.... things are looking brighter for me! Nope, I havent made my 1st million. Nope, I am not abt to buy my 1st condo, YET. On the contary, I ended up with some fresh "debts" to pay off, while extending my deadline b4 succumbing & giving up my dreams & go find a job.
Three weeks later, I am a calmer trader, I go into the market with Bullet, Armour, Walkie Talkie and if I die, then I die... No big deal, I am only infantry! I cant avoid a Missile or an Atomic! But within my control, I can do so much more! I am more confident now... i take calculated risks based on knowledge, not ignorance (which I used to). I am careful but allow myself to take some bits of risk.
Though I am not making alot of money now - not even enough to pay for my mthly expenses, but i am n will be getting it better each day... analysis, entry, management, evaluation etc.
I am still a noob of cos.... learning abt trading is never a short process, it's definitely not a Quick-Get-Rich-Way-Out! I look forward to trading each day! Ever since I got myself the Orange MePhone, I have been making full use of it! Nope,i aint got any games on my phone (yet), e 1st apps I set up was my work email n my trading apps.
I fell asleep watching the charts on my HP last nite. This morning, I woke n the 1st thing I did, shut down the alarm from my Hp, then I stared goggily at my charts from it! I am LIVING Trading, BREATHING Trading... the funny thing is this: i kinda enjoy it, very much. =D
For the next couple of months, I see myself getting better in trading, i need to learn more! Alot of times, learning comes from watching the Market & posing my questions to Mentor. the more questions I ask, the more I learn. The only problem is, "we duno what we duno right?" No harm really, my take is this: when it's really crucial, u will know what you duno then. =)
I have missed training much, havent swim for the past 3 weeks, havent run for the past 1 week. With Sundown ADIDAS coming soon, I am getting worried. Need to buck up & squeeze some time to do these soon! =D
--------------------------
Happy.... I am a very happy woman...
