The share market is deteriorating again! One of my favourite shares has gone down lower than its support level! Thank goodness that I didn't buy in yesterday. I could have been stopped-out and had to deal with the loss! There must be lots of investors and traders that have been having a hard & stressing time recently. You really can't guess today's market, can you?

Well, I am getting sick of just watching my trading platform and not making any action. The shares that I've keeping an eye on are very close to their buying points but just not yet. One of them has hit very close to its support level, so I could buy in at the price but there is also slight possibility that it might keep going down like one of them did a few days ago. I was feeling dilemma whether I should buy in now or not, but this time I had decided to play it safe so I resisted my urge again! I will wait, I have to wait, which is soooooo frustrating. I hope the shares make breakthroughs very soon! By the way I am still not feeling 100 %. What's going on with me??

Yesterday I had another Skype English session. We discussed pets( Are you a dog person or cat person?) and animal abuse & cruelty( battery hens and animal testing). The last two topics were very controversial and tricky topics to discuss, but I enjoyed it. I went to bed early last night because I felt a bit sick. I think I've had more than enough sleep last night but I am still tired(^^;) My head is fuzzy. By the way, this tweet entry is the 100th one!! Good on me!!

Yesterday I was wrestling with my black printer ink. Its ink had run out so I refilled it and put it back in the printer like I usually do but it didn't work yesterday. I tried many times but the printer didn't recognized the ink for some reason! It was frustrating! After a while I came to the conclusion that we'd been using the same cartridge for more than 2 years so it had just had it so we would need to buy new original one, which cost us about 40 bucks( very expensive, isn't it?)It's typical! This kind of thing( unexpected expense) happens when you need to save money. I really didn't want to spend money on it, so this morning I tried it again with a little bit of hope of miracle. And guess what?! It worked! This time I found the cause! There was a piece of tape caught between the ink cartridge and its lid! I didn't notice it at all yesterday! I am happy that I got to save money!

The share market has been going up and down recently ( it happens even within a day!)Thank goodness that I am not in it at the moment. There are some shares that I've been watching very closely,but none of them haven't reached the point at which I want to buy in. There were some moments when I feel like jumping on them impulsively , but luckily my educated guess and senses resisted the urge. All I have to do is wait a little longer.

It's been 5 days since I've incorporated pilates into my exercise routine. I was a bit apprehensive about my back at first, but it seems to be doing OK. I've been pushing myself a bit hard in terms of my workout because as you may know, Gori and I are going back to Japan next month for about a month! There are lots of things I'd love to do in Japan, which means I will be very busy so I want to become fit and strong before I go. It would be fantastic if I can lose some weight as well but I am not that worried about it at the moment. I am more focusing on how I build up my strength so that I can do things more energetically without feeling tiredness, which will definitely enhance the quality of my life. Well having said that, I am a bit tired now. Do I need a break??

There are so many things to do and I am kind of overwhelmed by them. Plus I was struggling with a new music playing software which Gori discovered for me. When you try something new, especially when it is something that is not in your comfort zone, it is very stressing to tackle it until you get the hang of it, isn't it? Anyway I feel a bit grumpy and stressed because I am behind schedule. Well, I have to snap out of it and move on. What can I do to pull myself together and be more productive.*This entry has been corrected by Gori.

Last night before going to bed, Gori started to complain that there was something wrong with his left eye and it was killing him. At first I thought it was just an eyelash or something that was annoying him but I couldn't find anything in the eye at the first glance. Then he brought a torch to take a very close look at it and then we found that there was a tiny bit of something on the eyeball, right next to the pupil. We assumed that it might be a fragment of steel from grinding or welding because he had been working on this new project, which was building a bike stand for the last several days and he was grinding and welding its steel frames last night. We tried everything we could think of to get the bit out of his eye but it wouldn't budge an inch. We even used a magnet but it didn't work, either. So this morning Gori's dad took him to the hospital and the doctor said there were many fragments of steel on his eyeball and one of them was actually in it too. He anesthetized his eye and chucked out almost all the fragments using a needle!! Gori said he almost passed out! It's scary, isn't it? Anyway he is not completely OK yet but I'm relived to hear that it was not that serious.

Mick used to be a very chunky dog with a big head and a lot of puppy fat around his neck but not any more! He has slimmed down and his face is much smaller now. As a matter of fact, he is getting cuter and cuter every day! I thought Ambi was way cuter than Mick before but now they are neck and neck!

I just got up half an hour ago. I feel tired... because I couldn't sleep last night! The dogs were constantly barking at the cows or something, which kept me awake!! Come dogs! Forget about the cows! They are not our threats!! I just checked the share market, seems like I will be sitting out today too.

Gori and I played Canasta (a card game) this morning. Guess what? I thrashed him!! I struggled a bit in the last game but I won! Actually I haven't lost Canasta games against Gori for a long time. Have my skills for it been improving or is it just that I have been very lucky?!

Tomorrow is Valentine's day. I baked a chocolate cake for Gori for this occasion. The cake turned out to be very fluffy and light. I tasted it a bit but as soon as I put some in my mouth, it melted and disappeared! I cut down on sugar when I made it so it's not that sweet, either. It goes very well with cream. I am glad that Gori likes it!

I did the treadmill for 5.6 km yesterday. I was very happy because I was able to jog for 1 km straight, which was big progress. But today sadly my back is not feeling right. I feel some dull pain in there. I haven't had this kind of pain for a long time. So honestly I'm a little gutted, but just a little bit. Did I pushed myself too much yesterday? Well maybe jogging for 1 km was a bit too much. I wonder if a foot bath will help for my back. I should give it a go, shouldn't I?

Gori is gone cycling this morning. He goes for a bike-riding with his cycling mates every weekend. He gets up before 5 and comes back around 9 to 9:30. This has become a part of his routine. He says he cycles for about 70 km, which is very impressive, isn't it? His passion and achievement surely help me keep myself motivated for my work-out.

Hello. Gori and I went out for dinner with his co-workers last night. We went to a restaurant called Charlie's Hotel. Gori had been there a few times previously and he had a high opinion of it. So I had been looking forward to eating there and finally got around to it. I ordered a steak which he had been raving about but unfortunately it was a bit of a let-down,,, tough and chewy. We ordered medium-rare but Gori's steak was nowhere near it, it was very rare. Gori was disappointed too. Anyway his colleagues were all very nice and I enjoyed the dinner and conversation, in which I was mainly on the listening side because there were 5 ladies(plus Gori )! You know, ladies never stop talking!

Hi, there! I am feeling much better today.(^^) I've been sitting all day studying and share-trading, so my back is getting stiff! I want to do some treadmilling to loosen it up but I will wait until Gori comes back from work and goes for a bike-riding. He wants to shed some kilos and become very fit too!

Hi, everyone. I managed to study English for about 2 hours. I'm glad that I've made at least some progress. But it was pretty hard for me to concentrate. I've got a sore back, which is one of the distractions from studying. I want to do some treadmilling but I think it could make my condition worse. I have been eating crappy & fatty food recently so my belly feels a bit flabbier...I hope I can do a lot more tomorrow. Oh boy I feel so lethargic...

I don't feel like doing anything because I have a stomach pain from my period. But there are a lot of things I have to & I want to do; for example, I want to come up with my opinion for the next discussion, (I have one more question to go), I have to finish up studying the articles for the discussion which I got from the net and to read useful sentences out loud, and share-trading study. OK, I will pull myself together and tackle them one by one! Wish me luck!

Hello. I have been a bit busy recently. Gori's mum had a surgery on her right middle finger several days ago so since then she has been having a little trouble doing housework. I wanted to help her out because I owe her a lot. So yesterday I invited her and Gori's dad for dinner. The dish I made was very simple stir-fry with tomato salad so it's nothing fancy but they said they enjoyed it. I'm glad we had a good time.

The last tweet was way toooooo long! But I just wanted to tell you about how Mick is doing. That's all.... I am getting hungry! I'll eat lunch first !

Morning. I haven't filled you in about what happened to Mick's cuts since I last mentioned about it (×yet) so here's how things turned out. After Gori came back from Brisbane, he had a very close look at his cuts and we discussed it and decided to turn to his mum and dad for some advice about what we should do with him. They said he should be alright without any stitches and also said they had some antibiotic powder for animals, so we used it on Mick's cuts several times. It's (×It) very helpful. I should have talked to them much earlier. Since then his cuts have been on the mend, healing very well. I am so relieved because I was worried that he might suffer from infection or something since his cuts had been exposed but luckily he is (×was) OK now.

As I said in the previous tweet, I watched the Australian Open men's final last night. Roger beat Andy Murray in straight sets. He won the first 2 sets relatively easily but he seemed to be (×a bit) struggling in the final set, actually they were kind of neck and neck so it was very thrilling to watch. Both of them were brilliant athletes. I really like Roger because he is a very nice guy and he also has class! I envy his wife! They are going to have twin daughters soon, aren't they?

Morning. Yesterday I was supposed to finish up summarizing the important contents in the share-trading book and I did some of it but I ate out for lunch with Gori and we watched the Australian Open men's final on TV in the evening so I didn't make (×a ) good progress on it. I am going to finish it off today!
