Bleaching My Hair With Gatsby EX Hi-Bleach $ Dye To Medium Blonde


I am 2 weeks away from my trip to Taiwan and of course, I want to look good during my holiday.

So, I decided to change my hair color from black to something brownish/ bronze.
I have dyed my hair own my own before but the result wasn't to great because I did not bleach my hair.

So, i decided to bleach it this time before I dye my hair and the product that I turn to is Gatsby EX Hi- Bleach which i bought for RM 22 from Guardians Pharmacy.

If I were to do it in a hair salon, the whole thing would have cost at least RM150.
But the Gatsby bleach and and the Revlon hair dye only cost RM 42.
So, it is one third of the price.

Here is the product that I used for bleaching my hair.



Here is the situation with my hair after bleach.
My original hair color is black..




Next up is the dye my hair to Medium Blonde.

The product that I am using is Revlon hair Dye.







After leaving on the dye mixture for 30 moniues...
All done...  here is the colour of my hair...
all i need is a hair cut...



To be honest, it is very easy to dye your hair yourself.
You just need to get the right product (hair bleach and dye) and follow the instructions.
It was not messy or anything when I did it.

in the future, I will can try new colors easily...


cheers,
Yours sincerely,

Do You Want To Be Right or To Make Money?

Again, here is a great article by Russ Horn...

In this article, he talks about a traders mentality and why many traders are no making it in forex.

It is because they want to proof that they are right.

But in the end, being right does not mean we will make money.

he explains it in the article...


here you go...

"Do you want to be right, or do you want to make money"
What Does That Mean?

Every once in a while you will hear traders make a comment along the lines of "do you want to be right or do you want to make money".

5 Reasons We Fail In Forex

Just came across another great article by Russ Horn and I decided to put it here.
It is about the reasons why so many people fail in Forex trading.
95% fail and isn't it just too high...

Can we still make it in forex trading..

here is what Russ had to say about it



You have heard the stats, 95% of traders are going to either fail (or quit), but why is this the case?
There are some wildly successful traders, but they are the few. Traders that have failed have been people we would have thought could have been some of the most successful traders.

8 Tips To Overcome Forex Trading Fear!

This is an article from Russ Horn, a popular Forex Guru...

It is about how you can overcome your fear when it comes to Forex trading.



You will develop fear for trading when you see your account's money grow less and less instead of more and more.
I have been there and that is why i know how it feels....

Here is the article

Overcome your fear of pulling the trigger.

Being afraid to 'pull the trigger' is a common fear that new traders experience.

This comes from a lack of confidence in your trading system and your abilities. It can also be a statement of your expectations if you think you should win all your trades.

Here is a list of things to consider:

1. Back test your trading system until you are convinced that it can make you money if you follow the rules.

2. Trade a demo account until you can prove to yourself that you can make money by following the rules.

3. Open a tiny live accountand trade this small account until you have proven that you can follow the rules while trading live.

4. Trade a position that is tiny, start with one micro lot, so that losses won't hurt your account.

5. Be ready to lose nearly half of all the trades you take. Once you accept that losses are going to happen, they don't have the same emotional impact.

6. Implement some kind of trade management so that when you do lose it will be less than what you win.

7. Accept all the responsibility for all of your trades. Ownership of your decisions will make you a more responsible trader.

8. Understand that a loss does not reflect badly on you as a trader. Most pro traders lose 30 - 50 percent of their trades.

In the end, losing is part of the game. You don't have to like it, but you do have do deal with it. The trader's who make money are not the trader's who never lose, but instead, they are the traders who actively look to reduce the impact of the loss.

Practice, practice, practice.

Get comfortable with the fact that trading needs your attention and that losses are just part of the overall process. If you stick to it, you'll find your trading legs.


happy trading,

Yours sincerely,

Is Forex Trading Same As Gambling?



I met a friend in the weekend and I haven’t seen this friend of mine for quite some time.
He was in town and we decided to make time to do some catching up.
We chat about the usual stuff like how he is doing and vice versa.
I told him that I am trading forex now and the first thing he asled was…

Isn’t Forex trading like gambling




I found it absurd to hear this kind of question coming from a friend who is a university graduate but he majored in science. (but so was I)
So, I told him it will take a long time to explain but he insist.
So I thought it would be good to share my answer here.

So if Forex trading like gambling?
My answer is yes if you treat the forex market like a jackpot machine or the roulette machine that you can find in Genting Highland’s casinos.
When you out down your money on a bet, you are just hoping that luck is on your side and the outcome will be in your favour.
But casinos have very high odds against you.
Take roulette for example.
Say that you bet on the number 9.
You only win when the ball ends up on the number 9 spot.
Any other number that, you lose.
So the odds of you winning are so small.

So, I went on to explain to my friend on how we make money by winning Pips in forex.
Yes, we need to cover the spread charged by our forex brokers but that is only a few pips.
Once we cover that, everything else is profit.
But if we enter the forex market blindly without any reasoning or strategy in place, we are considered gambling because we are taking a chance and hoping that the market will go our way.

Forex trading is not gambling when a trader treats it like a profession or a business.
There will be opportunities for us to enter the market and times when we just need to stay away and wait.
Isn’t this the same in stock market trading or property investment?
Forex traders will use tools like forex indicators to analyze patterns to decide on the direction of the market.
This can be called as the forex trading system and these systems has winning ratios that can be judges before put into use.

But like gambling, a forex trader will suffer huge loss when emotions take over the power to follow their trading system.
Similar to gambling, when you are on a winning streak, you probably feel that every bet you take will go your way.
This happens in Forex trading as well.
But with practice through time, a forex trader will be able to overcome this problem and develop a discipline required to be a successful trader.

So is forex trading like gambling?
NO, if you know what you are doing…
It is as simple as that.

happy trading


 Yours sincerely,
