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,

How to Trade Forex With Bollinger Band Indicator

Bollinger Bands is a chart indicator which is developed by a person named John Bollinger.
Hence the name Bollinger bands.
It is a indicator that is used to calculate the volatility of the market.
In other words, this indicator has the ability to tell traders if the market is quiet or loud.
When the market is loud, the Bollinger band expands and vice versa.

As price moves, you will see the band expand as shown in the image below.



What You can Expect When You Visit Taiwan

When it comes to holiday destinations in Asia, may people will tend to overlook Taiwan as a splendid choice for vacation.

Most of the time, I will hear people saying that they want to go someplace in China or Thailand....


But Taiwan is a holiday destination that can offer you a blast of time.

So, let’s take a look at few reasons on why you should put Taiwan as you next travel destination.


The first thing that you need to know is the people in Taiwan are very hospitable and helpful.
They often go all the way when it comes to helping travellers.
This is very comforting to know especially if you are planning to travel on your own.

For those who like outdoor adventure, you must visit Cingshui Cliffs and Taroko Gorge  in Hualien.
Be prepared to be blown away by amazing views of nature.

Cingshui Cliff


Taroko Gorge


Then there is the hot springs that can offer you calmness and rejuvenate both your body and your soul.
One of he most famous hot spring spot is the Lushan hot springs.
You can even boil eggs in the hot spring and be up for a nice treat during your hot spring bath.

Hot Spring


Food!!!! is another reason why you should go to Taiwan.
The country is famous for their street vendors that sell anything from chicken shop, sausages, and desserts, shave ice, tofu and seafood.
In fact, my friends who have been there before would tell me that you won’t need to find a place to eat.
You just eat as you walk in the evening market where you can find in almost every city.
If you have to sit down, you could pack all the food and have a feast back at your hotel room.

Night Market




Another attraction that you must go to in Taiwan is the Sun Moon Lake.
It is located in Tai Zhong and you can get there easily by their railway network.
Be memerized in the greenery with hills and amamzing views as you breath to the fresh air.
There is also the Aboriginal history in Taiwan which holds many surprise as you look into the history of the nation.

Sun Moon Lake



Then there is the Hehuashan Mountain which is also known as the ‘Switzerland of Taiwan’.

Hehuashan Mountain

You will be able to experience living in the high ground and stop by CingJing Farm for an experience with nature and get close to cows, sheep and vast grasslands.

Cing Jing Farm

If you are more of a city person, you would love Taipei because it is city that buzz around the clock.
Visit the Taipei 101 tower to savor architectural brilliance and enjoy the view of Taipei city.

Taipei 101

You will also like Xi Men Ding which is like Shibuya in Japan.
It is the most happening place in Taipei.
There will be food and you can do a lot of shopping there.


Xi Men Ding

When it comes to the best souvenir you can buy from Taiwan, it has to be Tea.
They have plenty of Tea House where you can taste high quality tea and buy some back for your family and friends.
You can visit Maokong and enjoy a tea retreat up the hill at the mountainside.
Enjoy a quiet moment which will bring your mind to peace no matter what troubles you are facing with.

Mao Kong


All and all, Taiwan is a great destination to go to for a holiday.
I will be going on a 7days 6 nights trip with my girlfriend there in this October...
So look forward for my Taiwan trip post..

cheers, 

Yours sincerely,

How To Trade Forex Using the MACD indicator

In my previous post, I wrote about the MACD indicator and what it as about.
In this post, I am going to share with you on how you can trade forex using the MACD indicator
The MACD indicator comes with 2 moving averages with different speed.
One is faster and the other one slower.
The faster moving average will react quickly to price movement in the forex market while the slower moving average will react at a slower pace.

Whenever there us a new trend, the faster moving average will react in advance and with time, it will cross the slower moving average.
When the faster crosses the slower moving average, ‘crossover’ occurs.
As the faster moving average starts to move away, divergence occurs.
This is often used as an indication that a new trend is developing.

From the image above, you will be able to see the blue line (faster moving average) crossed under the red line (slow moving average).
