2nd June 2005
I'm now free of course, and I'd like to be happy also. Unfortunately, there's no way that would happen unless I change my mindset about life and what I'd like to do with it.
Making money on the stockmarket is starting to lose its ability to thrill me. Today, I recouped S$800 invested in a risky instrument that I was sure I was going to lose a large part, if not all, of. And on Bursa Malaysia, I made over RM 100 on another volatile counter.
Yet, the thrill hardly lasted more than a couple of minutes.
I guess I have to start aiming for large, outsized amounts of money for further thrills. Too bad I'm too conservative to ever hope of achieving this within this year, which may turn out to be an annus horribilis financially.
Being free of contractual obligations is a good thing, but now I have to crack my head over the direction of my work and means of support come year-end 2005.
The advantage is that I can mull over this and other issues for some weeks.
