10th Nov 2010

Ideas are fleeting things. I have already forgotten what I wanted to blog about yesterday.

Came home early on half day leave yesterday. While deboxing my kingdoms LEGO, chatted with dad.

Ran into a old bmt mate during rt yesterday. Haven't seen him for more than 10 years since our bmt.

Just started on a new Facebook game. It's the first attempt by Square Enix to enter the social network. Square Enix is the company which SquareSoft , producer of Final Fantasy, and Enix, producer of Dragon Quest, had merged to become. Today's the third day I'm playing, and I'm hitting level 20 and over taking Eugene who recommend this game to me soon. I'm quite good at all these number games. Heehee.

Often I wondered, how come I never go into accounting since number always excites me. Well, it's as well, having a more hands-on job let me have more time for thoughts. Will need to be starting to learn to invest in forex.

Will allocate some time for these activities, exercise, study forex, God and bible reading. Irin was asking why am I blogging again all of a sudden. Well, I found the app for andoroid to blog and using the time between travelling, I can blog as and when. A better use of my travelling time.

9th Nov 2010

Woke up at 7 this morning well rested. Think it's due to the exercises and chin-up i was trying to do last night. Having your physical body or energy expended, allows your mind to rest better.

Was thinking this morning, should I keep the LEGOs I want in boxes? Answer is? No. Why?
1. It's taking up a lot of space.
2. Since they are not for re-selling or selling as a set. There isn't a need for them to remain in boxes.

Recently I bought some old battles packs from a forum member. Damn, no wonder Mond and Alex were advising me against army build with battle packs. You can't believe what kind of low quality LEGO they make in China. Thank God I still got the box at PS to offload what I don't want.

Tearing up a set to sell works better for me than selling in sets. Need to sort out plans and look out for alternate builds for the really loose bits.

Hmmmm... looking at my past sales at toy outpost, seems like what Mond told me before, "that tearing up a set to sell while keeping the parts you want won't work", isn't correct. Well, what can I say but I have the grace of God. Things get sold for unbelievable prices. Guess in the end, shoppers are only about impulse and wants.

Was trying to update my blogshop yesterday in the office, it's not working very well. Hmmmm... I have to go into individual posts to edit the prices. There isn't a consolidated page of all the items. Looks like by wanting to keep the sold out sets on the blog will serve no purpose but to clog up the blog itself. So I don't think I'll be keeping those for record.

Need to spend more time to think and sort out the stuff.

7th Nov 2010

Waited til 12 am for standby to be over before turning off my phone to get a good night's rest. turned off all the electronic device in my room also. then after going to sleep at 12am, i woke at 4.30 am, fully enegerized.

thinking that if i try to go back to sleep again, i'll probably oversleep for RT. so i started tidying up my table and some stuff. feeling quite satisfied at the end result and having to have put extra time to good use.

While packing up the stuff, i start to have some good ideas about how to pack and store certain stuff. guess the study proves to be correct, the mind seems to unable to generate ideas while using electronic product. only when your hand is moving and your mind is allowed to wander, then it can fetch good ideas back for you.

Time to put another good idea to use.

writing down 6 item that's to be done:
-Pack gachapons
-Pack Lego
-update lego inventory spreadsheet
-prepare Outpost spreadsheet for closing
-update blogshop
-ebay listing

Arrange the sequence of the things to be done:
1. Pack Gachapons - Need to clear these asap as i want to be selling these off first.
2. Update Blogshop - If its not listed, there's no exposure to sell.
3. Ebay listing - link it back to the blogshop for exposure as i only have 10 slots for ebay listing.
4. Pack Lego
5. Update Lego inventory spreadsheet
6. Prepare outpost spreadsheet for closing

later will be going over to TPY. might be doing the spreadsheet there instead.


Latest picture of outpost box. thanks to Seagull, the nendoroid nanoha can be displayed for sale on time. will return him the money by 25th dec.

Finished gathering the stuff that a seller wanted late last night. Hmmm... need to sort out and repost gachapons on my blog shop.

With the grace of God, my sales at toy outpost cleared the amount needed for rental yesterday. Unbelievable, second day of the month only. I thank you, God. You provide and in abundance.

During my reservist, Guan Meng commented that i have a good life. with passion in toy collecting, joy in having food and rest. well, isnt that whats life about?

Strangest secret:We must control our thinking. The same rule that can lead people to lives of success, wealth, happiness, and all the things they ever dreamed of — that very same law can lead them into the gutter. It's all in how they use it ... for good or for bad. That is The Strangest Secret! This is The Strangest Secret! Now, why do I say it's strange, and why do I call it a secret? Actually, it isn't a secret at all. It was first promulgated by some of the earliest wise men, and it appears again and again throughout the Bible. But very few people have learned it or understand it. That's why it's strange, and why for some equally strange reason it virtually remains a secret.

Our mind can do any kind of job we assign to it, but generally speaking, we use it for little jobs instead of big ones. So decide now. What is it you want? Plant your goal in your mind. It's the most important decision you'll ever make in your entire life.

We must control our thinking. The same rule that can lead people to lives of success, wealth, happiness, and all the things they ever dreamed of — that very same law can lead them into the gutter. It's all in how they use it ... for good or for bad. That is The Strangest Secret!

30th Oct 2010

Today went to tarafuku with irin for lunch. after that, we went looking at handphones for irin. at SCAPE, i bought some LEGO starwars clone troopers battlepack to put into my box at PS along with other stuff i prepared. Irin helped me in assembling the walkers to be sold.

shouldnt be spending money getting the Clone troopers while i'm so tight on cash, but, my recent stock of clone troopers sold out and i'll sort of need to keep the goods going on so that the ppl who have been coming to my box to get starwars will continue to come back.

Spend some time packing some stuff and sorting lego. sort of redirected the funds for Nendoroid Petite Nanoha to some orders of lego. hope that it wont be coming in soon. anyway it has delayed from aug to oct, now i really dont know if its coming in or not. hope i wouldnt have to borrow the 1400 from gull when it finally comes in.

Tomorrow morning i'll be going for RT. will be a good time in between to do some thinking also. according to research, thinking happens when you doing anything other than using electronic products. here's a link to that youtube. Future Minds also it was mentioned that use of electronic product have seriously affected communication and interaction between ppl. how many times have you meet your other half and spend the time doing something else on your mobile? food for thought.

18th Oct 2010

First day of work after reservist. The users don't want to over-stress me and asked me to shadow my co-worker instead.

It's been a nice 2 weeks. Learning how to operate some new equipment. Catching up with friends and lots of free time to reflect on stuff.

Irin wasn't too happy about it though as I didn't meet her for 2 weeks. Not even phone calls as I had to sleep early to be able to wake up on time to travel.

Through the two weeks, a lot of things came to mind. how everyone is progressing, getting married, having kids. somehow, after my resolution to pick up my life, things start to sink back into it's stagnant state. I'm not studying forex or app programming as much as I should. LEGO was selling well, but currently I'm low on big sets to sell. my shipment of Nendoriod Puchi have yet to come in as planned, but I don't know to be happy about it or sad. happy as I'm low on funds to collect goods, sad that i have nothing to sell.

Seagull once ask that when I wrote in my blog what I mean by different financial views, I couldn't remember what it was about then. it's about when ppl will say when they have no money. in my case, I say no money when my wallet is really empty. what I have IS what I have.in Alf's case, he say no money, when he has no spare cash, but daily necessaries are still covered. in seagull's case, he'll cover daily necessaries and investments. I should learn to be more like seagull. I felt bad when Raymond tried to ask for his money back to invest in the maple tree IPO.

Had a big fight with Irin over the past few days. Over money, over time.
From time to time, she'll hint that i wont be able to afford the lifestyle that she wants. Once, she say she wanted a ring from tiffany & co. i say i buy for her, she laugh and said "you?". ever heard the phrase "cuts like a knife"? when i challenged her and ask her to set a target amount she will need for daily expenses in future, she puts me down and say i wont be able to afford it without even giving a actual sum.
Time-wise, she keeps wanting me to take leave, but i want to keep the leave as bargaining tokens or to cover my absence when i go for other interviews.

My current focus will be
1. Forex, mobile apps
2. Toy sales
3. Employment.

人在风暴中 无奈的打转 如象风沙 倦也须兜转

无奈的疾冲 无奈的刁转 曾热的面孔 渐缺少温暖

嘿哟哼嘿哟 飞沙风中转 嘿哟哼嘿哟 飞沙风中转

情在风暴中 难预早打算 人被风浪冲 聚也许苦短

其实风是空 无奈斩不断 埋没几段恩 剩余几多怨

嘿哟哼嘿哟 飞沙风中转 嘿哟哼嘿哟 飞沙风中转

年月消逝中 才悟风中转 全为贪顺风 没作主挑选

如今逆风 豪迈的奔远 重拾心内真 撞碎风千串

嘿哟哼嘿哟 风吹我不断 嘿哟哼嘿哟 风吹我吹不断

嘿哟哼嘿哟 风吹我不打转
