More & More Students are leaving UK For Good!! =(

Recently there have been so many students leaving us as they graduate and now go back to HK for good! It's so sad to see them leaving, specially those who had been in UK for a long while where the friendship and fellowship had been built strongly. Hope that we will still be in touch in future and have fun in HK when we meet again!

Also thanks God for giving me the opportunity to serve in student group this year. I was so scared at first to serve them with the age difference, but thanks God we can built up the fellowship where most of cell member would share openly, would support and pray for each other. They also make me feel so young and energetic, ha ha ha.. I really enjoyed this year!!! Will miss you all and see you in HK!

How confident are you???

I watched a TV programme this evening called 'How To Look Good Naked?' which was presented by Gok Wan. He's a fashion designer who shows women how to look fantastic and love who they are with or without their clothes on, and no matter what their body shape (all without a surgeon's scalpel in sight).

The one thing that had an impact on me in tonight's programme is how the attitude and mindset the lady had changed from before the programme to when the programme ended. I believe most woman (including myself) do not have 100% confident in our own body shape or appearance.

Gok Wan showed the lady she could look good with the right style of clothes on no matter what the shape is, he also mentioned so many times that the most important thing is you need to have confident in whoever you are and love who you are (which is very similar to bible message as God created each individual specially and we're beautiful and precious to HIM! HE values how we are inside instead of outside!). Sometimes it's just wonderful being reminded again with this kind of message!   

My 1st Joint Venture Investment Property =)

Good news today as my 1st joint venture investment property has completed today. My husband took the house key this afternoon. I'm so glad to know that the house is kept tidy and clean and won't need to do much before we can let it out.

Few potential tenant viewings have also been arranged for end of this week, so hopefully we can rent it out asap to reduce the void period! Thanks God for blessing our first investment property with a smooth process and a reasonable purchase price.

Forex Trading Seminar

Me and my husband attended a Forex Trading seminar last night from Knowledge To Action (Greg Secker), and it was taught by Clive (sorry I don't know his surname). Clive is very experienced in Forex trading and he's very confident that Forex trading can generate income when you know what you're doing. There are few things we learn last night:

1. Risk management - Make sure you know how to manage risk (if you're losing, only lose 1% of your capital).

2. Mindset 80% with Strategy 20% - With trading, it's so important to control emotions and have a right mindset to know when to take money, when to quit, when to trade and when not to trade.

 

3. Confidence - Need to be confident and be comfortable with trading. The example he gave was really good. Imagine you're driving a car, you wouldn't think you're going to crash everytime you drive, and why? It's because you are so experienced in driving that you have confident in what you're doing.

 

I understand that a lot of people think trading is risky, and I always have a question as to whether these people who lost in trading did go to any education course to learn strategy and how to manage risk? It's risky in any investment if you haven't done the research or learn about the subject, which was the mistake me and my husband made few years ago when we bought the property abroad. Luckily, instead of keep looking back and scared of investing, we moved on, we grow and we learnt from experience. We believe to achieve success, it's going to have lots of up and down, and trying too!!! 

Leaving Day Agreed!

Hurray! My leaving day has been agreed with line manager today and it's going to be next Friday, 6th Aug. I'm very excited with new opportunities in my next stage of life! Thanks God for giving me peace and a thankful heart!

Forex Trading Platform

After attending the Forex trading seminar at weekend, I started comparing the different Forex trading platform available in the market. I'm amazed by how many companies there are and it's hard to make a decision as to which company I should use.

I found the website below which compares different trading platforms with user comments, and I found this very useful, so try looking at this site if you're also new to this.

I also joined IG index yesterday as one of the helpers from seminar kindly offered to go through the platform with me. He spent an hour on the phone with me going through the analysis of charts and how to make an order to start my first trading. Can't believe he is so kind and friendly, and it doesn't cost me anything for this tutorial. Thank you!

Hurray! Out of Prison to a New World!!!

Minute before I went into see dentist, my company phone rang and it was the Company Director. He left a voice message and I phoned him back straight away. He told me in a serious voice that the request for voluntarily redundancy has been accepted by the company. He asked if I'm still ok to take it. Of course it is because I requested it myself!!!

He then said he'll need to get in touch with HR regarding when the notice period starts, the handover of work and when I can leave the company. Therefore, there is even more wait but at least I know I should start my NEW JOURNEY properly now.

I will need to work hard looking for another job, for other ways of generating income and helping my husband to move forward with property investment. God please guide me through this new journey and give me wisdom.

Another funny thing happened this afternoon is the conversation I had with my husband, he asked me "How come my wife suddenly change so much? Are you still my wife?". Then he said he's happy that I'm up for change. He also encouraged me to stay focus and work hard with goal that I set. I believe the 'Rich Dad Poor Dad seminar' does have an impact on me, specially seeing Kim (Robert's wife) so successful in investment. I always believe woman can do well too! Add oil Carmen Chan!
