Before I dated and consider myself attached to a girl I didn't have any trouble disregarding pretty girls I see and meet sometimes. But after being attached to a girl I realized that because of the restrain that is on me I tend to be curious about other attractive girls. Not dating them just asking them out for a drink to get to know them. Is this some kind of man curse?
Some of my friends will tell their BF "you can date and sleep with anyone you want but do not give your heart to them, it belongs to me." But their BF will tell me, they just say that so that we will be honest with them about our affair before getting into trouble.
Hmm, so as long as I live I will have to consciously fight the temptation and be tempted every so often? I wish I can turn on and off my interest in girls around me because I have seen the result of the lack of restrain of other man around me. They bring a lot of grief to their own family...
Haiz, there is so much pit falls in life.
Just now a really hot half korean/chinese (Malaysian) girl slightly younger than me that cuts my hair every so often tell me playfully that she will teach me Chinese when I was about to leave. That is usually an indication of interest and a hint from girls if they are interested in you and want to go out with you. I was tempted to banter back and exchange numbers but I did not. If I were single I would definitely play along and get to know her one on one. But I am not. (FYI: I have been seeing her to get my hair cut for 2 years now)
Haiz. Being a guy can be tough!

Something to remind myself
Before I flew overseas to study and work I thought the whole world was like the world I grew up in. I thought certain people I knew where probably the best in what they do. After years of staying overseas and traveling to different countries and meeting many other cultures I more humbled in my thoughts about what I know. It seems that the more I learn about the world the more I realize how flawed my understanding of the world was and probably still is.
It came as a little shock to me. I concluded whatever accomplishment I have achieved there always will be others what have made greater strides than me. If I want to do better in that field I have to learn what they know and how they do it. If I become an owner of a company one day that needs a competitive edge I need to learn from the best in the world and not try to come up with everything by myself. And if I don't have the capacity to learn I will need to hire the right people in my corporation.
Why am I writing this? Seeing the work of other traders in the Forex factory forum really humble me. The ingenuity and creativity I see there from some of them exceed the best I have met in real life by many many times. If I am wise I will admit to myself what I don't know and learn from them. Going down this route and learning from the best is better than thinking I am all there is. I wish to remind myself of this fact as long as I am going to be in the business world. If I can glorify God in my business and achievements is all the better, but for now I can't see how..... maybe one day. I will learn from others!

Unique people (Traders personality)
Though extremely rare, every now and then I come across a person that will generously share his knowledge when it comes to trading. If you didn't know, the trading community which includes people like George Soros and Jim Rogers is shrouded in secrecy. People in that group are very protective of how they make money and what they know.
The first professional trader I have met was a person that not only introduce me to trading but literally gave me all he knew about making money trading before retiring for good about 3 years latter after 25 years of trading professionally. Frankly I was taken back and surprised when he showed me how this business is done right including all his trading systems and 25 years of his trading knowledge. I thought he was unique until I came to this forum
http://www.forexfactory.com/forum.php
This forum does contains people that are extraordinary traders and are very very generous with their knowledge. Some just give away their trading systems that makes some serious money and their reasoning is "sharing is caring". They didn't have to do it but they are doing it out of their own generosity to give back to the trading community.
How can you explain people like that? knowing 3 person like that personally I would say these group of people that are generous act likewise because they are not insecure about themselves or their future and are very confident in their ability to make money from the markets even if the trading systems they use become useless. They are usually traders that are already very successful and just want to share it back to new traders and the trading community because just like me it was probably a successful trader that mentored them in the first place.
For anyone aspiring to be a professional trader, in my humble opinion I will say that it is good if you find someone that have years of experience being a successful trader to mentor you. It is not a game for the faint of heart or average competence. It is extremely rare to find successful traders, what more the ones that are generous, but they are out there.
Just for an example I will give you a forum thread of a woman trader that shared a very good trading system. And it really makes money. Just go into the thread and you can gauge what kind of person people like that are like. They are not your average Kiasu Joe.... They are so good at what they do that they want to share their ability.

Prostitutes as social indicators
As I drove back after dropping Jane, I passed by the old side of Miri and I saw quite a number of prostitutes on the streets. I haven't seen this many before. I am going to assume that prostitution have to pay well enough in order for a woman to decide to do it instead of a RM300-RM600 a month pay as a store keeper or a waitress.(sadly our local laborers here have to compete with cheaper workers from Indonesia or neighboring countries-No disrespect to them.)
With this thought in mind I actually went down and asked 2 of them how much their service cost. The first said RM100 for a fast shot the second said RM60 for also a fast shot. The first was in her 20s maybe younger the latter was probably in her mid 30s maybe older. In order to justify the cost with that many prostitutes in mind there must be willing customers that will think it's reasonable or else deals cannot be made.
Perhaps the increasing number of prostitutes can indicate 1 or 2 of these things about the economy.
1) Prostitute's demand increase due to rising salaries of man or an increase of man in the working class population. (More paying jobs for man available)
2) Salaries for woman without qualification stagnated and have not keep up with inflation.
These 2 realities might be true assuming woman in general have preferences against being a prostitute should other sources of incomes become adequate. So rising number of prostitutes can indicate increasingly better number of jobs for man or/and increasingly tough prospect for woman in general in the work force. Bringing in foreign and cheaper labors would also worsened the condition. Since our local man and woman have to settle for a lower pay to compete with cheap foreigner to keep up with ends needs.
Hey I am not supporting prostitutes or condemning any here, I just thought this sort of statistics might be able to predict some trends. Maybe an entrepreneur can see this as a reason to import more condoms and buy up more shop lots for lodging.... Ok, look I am kidding alright? I think the increasing number of prostitutes marks the degradation of society as a whole.
I can't wait to see the world when Christ come back, where there is no more tears, suffering and acts of desperation.

This year
Ok, got my goals, my vision in sight. All I have to do is to be consistent and smart towards it. Achieving it is not the means to the end, but a start for me. They say a real man's character can be tested by giving him power, we'll see if my integrity holds.
