Random thoughts: A hot pan to another

Recently, I was considering a career move. Due to a recommendation by a friend, I explored a partnership in a potential venture. 

The discussion didn't end well. I gave the matter some.thoughts and decided to talk to more people.

After that, I realised I might be jumping from one hot pan to another. 

Made me feel better although nothing much has changed. I do not think I will continue that venture. 

Another blogger made me realise there is a big difference being wanting to start your own business and wanting to be self-employed.

So... I decided to be manwhore one more time. Since now I have a different boss and going to have a different job scope next year.

I given up my chance for any future promotion or pay increment with this lateral movement to another job scope. But I am very happy. 

Today, I finished my last appraisal work. No more. While I know there will be plenty of challenges in the future, I know I will be more at peace. Better to do what I am good at then trying to convince myself that I can do something I no longer believed in well

I really like the 3 questions Jack Ma asked himself. What do I have? What can I do to what I have? What I am willing to give up for what I have. 

I know what I am not willing to give up just yet. So is time to shut down and be at peace.

I might still keep that option open and look it for various angles. 

Here is a picture I find really interesting.

The grass is always greener at the other side; there is always a more shitty job. 

Random thoughts: What my P6 kids want?

It's been 3 years since I start asking my P6 pupils to make name cards for themselves. I told them to think of what they like, and that the job they want need not exists in reality. I quoted past years examples like Pokémon Trainer and Hacker.

This year is really fun. The session is a good opportunity for me to talk to them about their interests. 

This year, the choices are more varied and interesting. I have 

1) Kept Man

2) Housewife ( Although I think they are referring to Tai Tai) 

3) Gym manager

4) Gardener

5) Female pilot

6) Dancer

7) Game Streamer ( Something I learned)

8) Assassin

9) Ah long (She keep saying "legit one, legit one")

It is really fun talking to them. One very guiet girl designed a name card of a singer with a studio company. She looked up at me and suddenly start rapping, saying she wanted to be a star and that she think she can do it. I replied with a rap (cannot shu Sia) 

The assassin wannebe name card is the design of death note. 

I tease many of the pupils as they talk about their "dream"

Hope they remind innocent and dreamy. Is a hallmark of youth. 

随心笔：周围

我工作的地方，

其实挺美。

是时候放下，

往前看。

插秧的季节过了。

弯着背这么久，

天黑了。

休息了。

别去想明天。

明天会到。

Bragging rights: MIT

Warning: Irritating Post LOL

I have always had that elusive 2 baggers. It's like a badge of shame. Never holding something long enough due to lack of conviction or greed for a quick profits.

I am always jealous of CW 10 baggers hahahha, although not in a malicious way.

Finally, I got 1 2-baggers. 

MIT!!! Yeah! I brought it in 2014 Dec at 1.45, including dividends receive over the last 4 years, and capital gains, I would make over 100% if I sold it now. 

If u looking for reasons for this wonderful win, I will say luck.

Hahahah. Finally got lucky. 

I already said this is a irritation post. Size too. It's not a big amount of my portfolio, so I just let it be and didn't have the intention to sell. Of course, my original thesis did not change and I did not really have to do hard review. I did want to add at 1.7 but it didn't reach the price after I did a review 2 years ago. 

Yeah! 

随心笔：喜欢

喜欢出门时，看得见太阳

更喜欢在咖啡的陪伴下，

看到破晓。

一个人，喜欢。

放空，享受偷来的半刻闲。

突然，思绪归位，

变得有条理。

突然，想让自己更好。

喜欢自己给自己空间。

随心笔： 怪胎

怪胎吧。
忙完了，很空虚。
很想念，很舍不得，
却不知道说什么。

在身边的，不珍惜。
盲目地给，
不知道对方要不要。

怪了，也就一起走过十个月。
却常常觉得心缺了一块。
他们还在，好想跟他们多说几句。
但不知道说什么。
说出来的都是废话。

很可笑吧。
也许，有人希望我跟他们说废话。
但话却又少的可怜。

脑筋空出来了，
总是胡思乱想。
原来忙，是我的避风港。

现在，
突然会想起爸爸问我够不够钱花。
会看着手机，
有没有学生问问题，
有没有学生传口试录音。

现在，
在听另一个年级的口试录音。
好像在找替身一样。
替身的背后，还有去年他们的影子。

奇怪了。
我真是怪胎。
