2024 has ended just like that before you realise it. It is challenging to say whether it was good or bad overall. All my goals sort of fail, but other things are coming together. Like the market, unknowns await everyone in this new year, the beginning of a new cycle… In the past, I often questioned myself about what I had done in the last year, not much like always. However, that’s me always doing not enough, then starting to have crazier goals in the next year....
This will be a new chapter of Project NAÏVE. I have updated the I to Ï in NAIVE, and it looks perfect highlighting the balance of both sides. It will be a long journey from now on, this project won’t be easy, and its destiny is nothing but failure. However, if we will fail no matter what, in which way will I have little to no regret? Giving up even before trying, or trying to our fullest and admitting our failure like a champion?...
Today is the last day of August, and as Sydney is getting warmer, it feels as though the harsh winter has passed. Last August, I experienced a devastating strike in my trading career, but now, I view that moment as a new beginning. More pieces of my life are coming together, and each month carries more meaning. This fateful August, I have finally surpassed my past self both mentally and physically....
June 8th has always been an important day for me since 2014. I have mentioned this multiple times previously in pazusoba. This is a significant turning point for me that is before August last year. Many things are coming back to me starting in 2023. It has been the 10th year for many things, and this only shows how wild I was 10 years ago. Many new ideas and dreams were born around 2012 to 2015…...
After my previous recollection, I want to spend more time emphasizing the importance of people because I was mostly focusing on myself last time. Many previous posts mentioned that my life had significant changes since the day I went to Singapore, and how it had to be that way due to many policies. Please hear it one more time and even more in the future because my past and future are always together…...
Just before June 2023, my broker account went up from -20% to 170% while I was sleeping. Ultimately, I was lucky and was riding on top of this AI bubble. However, I had zero idea at that moment, not until late August last year. The beginning was January 2023, and my first win was in early February in Singapore, where I bought one call option on AAPL and was rewarded with a 480% profit (120$ from 25%)....
In February, I went back to Singapore to revisit my past life, and it was where I started programming 10 years ago. In April, I was back in my motherland ever since the pandemic started, and it was the place where I spent my childhood. In July, it was my third visit to Japan to meet my Ryuta’s aniki once again since 2019, and it was always a special place for me....
It was late September 2015 when I came to Sydney for my Foundation Studies at UNSW, and my class was called CP8. It has been almost 8 years, I never realise how fast time goes. After the event in Singapore, I went back to motherland for a while and even went to the US with my mother before coming to Australia. You know I was stupid, naive and miserable. I almost looked down on everyone in my class....
This one was never finished and has been in draft for half a year. I am just making it public now, not checked or anything but you get the idea. I always wanted to try trading because my father is a trader, and it sounded very cool. He often tells me about his trading philosophy but less on how to trade. He was so happy when he was talking about it....
Last week, GPT-4 was announced. Then, we had the Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot X and even more AI powered tools. Funny that I was discussing whether my past ten years of programming was meaningful. It is fast how things change. Last time, I went to UNSW for the 30th anniversary of CSE. The speaker said something like this, AI is overhyped now but will be underhyped in the future. That future… is now....
