::Fall from grace::

Poker has been disastrous. or rather, total gaming for the past 2 months, hit a new low. lost 100k since the beginning year. its a far cry from my profit of 450k for last year.

what more is there to say, i'm absolutely glutted. watched dreamgirls the other day. i'm sure to many, this show is pretty boring. but as i watched the show. it reflects much abt what i am going thru now. i see so much similarity. basically, from nothing, to something, and then get complacent, and poom! u might jus be next to nothing in jus a moment.

what went wrong? i think i was too complacent. i was partying too much, getting drunk thrice a week. and with all the people i meet respecting me and such, its hard to believe u are jus normal. its easier said than done. above all, with all these hype, i start to believed that my natural talent will see me through the tough times as i was special. i didnt work hard to see the problem when i was losing. i jus brushed it aside. and also i had too many business to take care of at the same time. but in truth, i could have been jus a normal person and need to focus. thts all. :)

for now, my plans are simple.take a break from poker and focus on my birdnest business, so far, feedback has been very positive. cheap and good for the grades i sold! sales are generally picking up. cut down my expenditure to say maybe 2-3k sgd a month. put my remaining assets in indonesia yielding 5% a month. get theasiapoker going and yeah, the "secret" project. do some soccer trading too. so far everything, seems good with the exception of poker.

we'll see how it goes. it has certainly been a tough time for me. but, its really abt realisation tht i am jus a normal person. and get back on track, and dont get so complacent!

::random thoughts::

its funny. u know. the birdnestshop.com will not work out. the reason being, the profit margin is too little for me. the idea was thought of 2 years ago, but since 2 years ago, i have evolved to a high earning poker player. it jus no longer make sense to go all the way to pass the product to make tht 50 dollars per trip. gonna get some people to be part of the company, cant handle it myself, or rather, its not worth handling it myself anymore.

i thought to myself at times, where do i go from here. i mean, how much higher should i aim for in life. what should i aim for in life? higher and higher? how much higher man. its endless. u cant make finish money, but if not, what else can u do as a grown up. i thought to myself, and its jus endlesssssssssss.....

recently, i've been offered a very interesting project. the cost of the project is worth around 25 million usd. i'm gonna be like a super duper small shareholder. its funny, thru connections though, i will be able to control one major section of the project for my benefit. i dont know, it sounds very interesting, thts for sure. we'll see how it goes as it might still end up in a dead spot. its a highly confidential project. dont bother asking me.

every month, i jus get more and more deals. or rather, i jus get more and more opportunities in life. jus last month, i got to invest in timber, a few months back, i got the opportunity to invest in LEGALISED money lending business. everything jus seems to be falling into place for me. why am i getting all the opportunities? i thought to myself, did i create these opportunities myself, or am i jus lucky, or is it people see something in me, thus they are willing to work with me or they think i am very naive and easy to manipulate. i dont know. dont ask me. its been a crazy year or two.every few months, there will be something new in for me. things are jus getting too hot.

maybe its my lucky stars. =) or not.
