i joined Simex (now SGX) in 1999, still can remember what the feeling like on the 1st day of job. the floor was deafening,as the traders was shouting their desired trades. and they are showing all different hand signals almost like cursing and swearing at each other.
after getting hang of the job i understood. hand signals actually is quite fun. it's like a language of its own. these hand signals enable fast communication between the order fillers in the pits and linemens, and also between the traders in the pit.
we were at oub center till last year september when we shift to the present SGX center.
i became a local in jul 2006. trading for yourself and working for people is totally different. you know then whether they are "genuine" anot. most of them are hypocrite but i still miss those people though. miss the gossips, miss the stupid jokes, miss all the nonsenses.
i love it when market moves. you can actually feel the adrenaline rush. miss those feeling already. i still remember there was once when i was holding a position, i need to go for a toilet break. it only take me abt 5 mins and by the time i came back to the floor, i was down by about US$2,500. (and that a very cheap lesson) so jus imagine, you can easily lose in a day than make in a year. now is the era of new technology. everybody is forced to screen-trading. i'm not spared also. so now i'm back to square one. trying to find some commodity which i can handle or like.
wish myself all the best, and all the lucks!

went to town to meet cia for lunch. i'm always the one to decide what to eat. coz he will always say anything... and we end up wasting time. so anyway. we walk around taka and came upon this place called "pepper lunch"
the waitress is standing outside of the restaurant giving out discount vouchers. i mean, it stupid lor. can't they put a board stating the discount outside and then give the discount on the counter. do you get what i mean! wasting resources.
we decide to give it a try anyway.. coz it smells good from outside. and the fact is I'M STARVING! simply couldn't walk anymore.

i love how the vege taste when mix with the rice. i would never imagine i would so luv the taste till i tried it. but i still cant get use of the actual "tea"itself.
