We did it! 🏆 1st place at the IFBB Pro League Tsunami Cup in Italy 🇮🇹 This also makes him the first ever Malaysian 🇲🇾 to qualify for Mr. Olympia. 🙌 For those of you who are familiar with bodybuilding, competing in Mr. Olympia is THE most prestigious show and a dream of many bodybuilding athletes. 💪🏽
.
Since the first day I got to know him, he’s always told me that his goal is to be the first Malaysian to go to Olympia. It felt like a tough journey and sometimes almost impossible. We had to travel far for every show as there aren’t as many shows in Asia compared to Europe or the US, and honestly it would cost a lot every time.
.
Since covid happened, he has not competed in 2 years as we can’t travel out. Planning this trip and getting all the approvals took us more than 2 months but he was determined that he wanted to go for it. And so we did, one step at a time, not knowing what to expect.
.
Winning this competition didn’t come without its own hurdles. Literally an hour before the competition, he had a really bad back spasm and he could not even walk. He was lying down on the floor and the organisers were so concern they wanted to call the ambulance and take him to the hospital. Of course, he refused. But the pain was getting worse and there’s no way he could perform on stage. I mean he could not even stand straight and flex his abs. Nothing was showing. 😑
.
Somehow, he met 3 of his fans while going to the toilet and they rushed to the pharmacy to get some pain killers. Thank god the show was also delayed by 2 hours. That gave him time to slowly recover and somehow he managed to perform his best.
.
Sometimes, when things are meant to be and when you put the effort and visualise what you want, the universe has its way to challenge you but also align everything for you. One thing we also say to each other is do your best in everything you set your mind to, and remember to have fun! Otherwise, what’s the point?

今天, 應該是最炫最酷的一家公司, Robinhood, 上市的一天. 它獲利了嗎? 我想沒有多少投資人會care. 最關心的, 應該是它的營收成長率, 還有股價.
在我們一直追逐科技成長股, 被他們的高營收成長率, 潛在的高報酬昏眩的時候, 會不會忘記他們醜得要命的財務報表?
而在今年, 大家追逐的這些趨勢股表現不佳的時候, 是不是也給了我們一些省思?
其實美股中, 還有很多財務報表漂亮, 但聽起來一點也不有趣(甚至很無聊)的公司, 但他們股價穩定, 長期下來, 也給了投資人很大的回報. 像之前介紹過的POOL, 過去幾年也是平均一年翻一倍的漲幅.
而在IPO中, 也有這類的好公司.
Carrier Global(CARR), 2020年4月上市的IPO, 算是工業類股, 漲了快5倍. 有在獲利. (開利冷氣應該有聽過?就是這家公司)
Academy Sports and Outdoors (ASO), 民生消費股, 也有獲利, 2020年10月上市的IPO, 目前也漲了3倍.
下面這篇文章挺好. 與大家分享. 就像文章作者所提的, 龜兔賽跑, 穩(漲)的烏龜, 不一定會輸.
也祝福大家找到&培養自己的能力圈, 穩穩獲利.
Jim Cramer: The Biggest Thing That Happened Thursday Was the Boring Stuff
No, it wasn't Robinhood or the mega-cap tech companies, it was names we depend on like Carrier Global.
By JIM CRAMER Jul 29, 2021 | 03:38 PM EDT
Stocks quotes in this article: HOOD, FB, PYPL, CARR, RTX, NUE, AGCO, ZM, ALGN, AAPL, EBAY, AMD, XLNX
One of the most glorious things I have seen involving the stock market in ages happened today.
Was it Vlad Tenev ringing the opening bell for his breakthrough, disruptive Robinhood (HOOD) , representing 22 million mostly young new investors? Was it the free-for-all decline in the stock of the "F" in FAANG, Facebook (FB) ? Or the clobbering that Paypal (PYPL) took after what looked to be a good quarter?
Nah. I was bumping into Dave Gitlin, CEO of Carrier Global (CARR) , and his charming daughter, a college student at the University of Wisconsin. They were calmly waiting for me to finish "Squawk on the Street" to say, "Hi," and I couldn't be more thrilled. Because unlike the much ballyhooed Robinhood deal, which seems like a bust, Carrier Global came public back in April 2020 at $12 and today, after tremendous earnings, not sales, but earnings, it made an all-time high at $53, after reporting a terrific number with tremendous HVAC sales, up 31%, and an earnings surprise of 55 cents vs. the 30 cents that Wall Street was expecting.
Carrier, which was spun off when United Technologies merged with Raytheon (RTX) had some tailwinds, like the need to have clean air inside, because of the pandemic and clear air outside because office buildings are responsible for 40% of carbon emissions. But the huge upside surprise and the gigantic buyback belonged to Dave and his team and I that's what I told his daughter. I made sure she knew how proud she should be about how this man made so much money for people. Twelve to 53 in 15 months time is the name of the game.
Look, I am not trying to take away from anything that Robinhood and its co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev have created. Far from it. They have created billions for themselves and are now letting people participate in their great sales growth. You got a chance to pay a fortune per share and many Robinhoodies did, as tons of stock was allocated to the 22 million people who joined Robinhood, because of a bang up app that every young person seems to know.
I am simply saying that HVAC, yep heating, ventilation and air conditioning is one of the most boring businesses on earth and at times like today, with all of the hoopla of Robinhood it is easy to forget is how lots of money can be made being boring, and I like that. The most exciting thing that happened this year is Carrier helped provide refrigeration for vaccines. That's just fine with me.
Unlike Robinhood, Carrier hasn't brought anyone into the stock market. It's more laser-like focus on air conditioning once spun off from Raytheon means nothing to people. Just Wall Street gibberish. But you have probably walked by a Carrier machine thousands of times and never thought anything of it. Yet, you could have bought it for a song at six times earnings instead of 25 times sales.
The Carriers, with CEOs who pay themselves lavishly but perhaps not excessively, or the Nucor's (NUE) the steel company that's also well managed and sells at six times earnings, represent valuable properties, especially when the U.S. government is about to agree on a trillion dollar infrastructure bill and the country has more than 6% GDP. We don't know why they are re-opening trades or closing trades, delta-variant trades or building and bridge investments. Forgive me, though for comparing the company of Robinhood, with something that may stay special for a while vs. companies that get described as venerable, solid and built to last.
These companies are not rarities. You know people have to eat, right? You know that there would be famine without farming. So why not buy the stock of Agco (AGCO) , No. 2 farm equipment, which went from $40 to $130 in a year and a half without ever being expensive. Combines too boring? Again fine with me. Now that the masks are off -- or at least in some places, although Zoom (ZM) is still crushing it -- I, like many others, including my daughter, didn't like how her teeth looked even as, to me, they were perfect. Dentists tell you to get Align (ALGN) . I wanted them on "Mad Money" but the show was just too darned jammed. The stock's up the most in the S&P 500, with a product that, again, like the Purloined Letter, is right in front of you.
I love tech. Created the term FANG, added the "A" when it was clear that Apple (AAPL) had to take the acronymic stage between another "A" and an "N." I am proud that those who bet against me on Twitter, the legion, are betting against FAANG. I wrote obituaries for a goodly time in my career as a reporter but I never wrote as many as have been penned to talk about the group has already made the ultimate measure on behalf of shareholders.
Oh and it's not like I don't like tech or fin tech. I felt the slings and arrows of Facebook and PayPal today. Facebook's management once again lowered the boom on its future talking about real deceleration in growth. I thought it was too dire. PayPal's Dan Schulman talked about how the separation with its former partner, eBay (EBAY) gets done now and earnings will be hurt. This was one of the least revelatory surprises ever. I think both are practicing UPOD, Underpromising to Overdeliver, and, sure this time might be different, but it's sure been the way they have handled it in the past.
Far better to be in the straight out blow outs like Advance Micro (AMD) which had still one more banner day, this time because the company it is buying, the dowdy Xilinx (XLNX) , a sleepy semiconductor company, had tremendous earnings. The two together could be unassailable and even as AMD is now richly valued it is deservingly so.
I can't wait to hear Vlad Tenev's reflection on Robinhood's debut as a public company and about the novel offering that gave millions of shares to his clients. Vlad's not so much a rags to riches American story. He's a poor Bulgarian to insanely rich American because of his on ingenuity. That's a story with celebrating in itself.
I am simply pointing out that unlike Vlad, whom you would have had invested with when you weren't allowed or able to, Dave Gitlin sure didn't keep you out of the better bet, the stock of HVAC king Carrier.
You did.

現在我們有了可愛的新寶寶,可以讓我們疼愛他親親他,會很容易 (尤其是我們在看手機裡幾千張寶寶的照片時) 忘記我們身體還是有很多狀況,雖然我們把鬆鬆的肉塞進去褲子裡之後,看起來都恢復了,但是,還是有好長的恢復的路要走。
So, now we have this adorable new baby to adore and love and smoother with our kisses.
It’s easy (when we’re looking through our thousands of baby photos) to forget that while we may “look” like we’ve pretty much recovered, (after we tuck our flapping belly skin into our pants) we are far from it.
有一半的媽媽生完小孩後,背會從有一點點痛到很痛很痛。50趴耶!
Apparently 50% of women suffer from back pain after delivering their baby. 50%!!
我們的子宮在懷孕時會擴張,腹部會分離,脊椎會被往下並往後拉緊。
Our uterus expands during pregnancy and our abs are separated which pulls the lower spine forward, straining out back.
還有,抱嬰兒、撿玩具、換尿布和不良的姿勢也沒辦法幫助我們減緩背部的疼痛。
Also, carrying the baby, picking up toys, changing diapers, and bad posture also doesn’t help with the achy back.
還記得那些在我們體內高漲的’’有趣’’荷爾蒙嗎?它幫助我們放鬆韌帶和關節,以便我們可以將嬰兒從“下面”推出來....是的,不幸的是,賀爾蒙仍然讓我們的關節保持鬆動、搖晃。
Remember all those fun hormones surging through our body to help us loosen up the ligaments and joints so that we can push out a baby from “down there”?.... Yeah, those are unfortunately, still keeping our joints loose and, jiggly?
我們的荷爾蒙大概需要6個月才會恢復’’正常’’,但是在那之前,有幾件事可以幫忙:
Things will hopefully get better and back to “normal” around 6 months, but here are a few things which can help in the meantime:
-老公按摩:如果沒有老公的話老婆也可以,男朋友、女朋友、同事、專業人士、椅子、滾筒都可以,按摩按摩按摩,太爽了!你的肌肉會感謝你。
Husband massages. If husbands aren’t available. Wife massages. Boyfriend massages. Girlfriend massages. Colleague massages. Massage massages. Chair massages. Roller massages. Massages. Just massages. Oh they feel so darn good.
-動一動:走路、游泳、跳舞、伸展,然後繼續走,就是走走走。現在疫情比較不方便出去,在家裡也可以動一動喔!我知道現在你最不想要做的可能就是運動,但是我保證,小小的動一動真的會讓你比較舒服一些。
Move it, move it. Walk. swim. Dance. Stretch. Walk. Walk some more. Just move a bit. Even at home you can do it! I know that’s probably the last thing you want to do when you’re feeling sore and in pain, but moving around helps.
-休息:我知道,哪來的時間休息!而且,我剛剛不是才說要動嗎?這兩個都要啦!
Rest if you can. I know. I know. When is there time?! And isn’t that contrary to what I just said above?! Well, you gotta make time for both. Moving. And resting.
-可以拿那些懷孕時用的枕頭來幫忙。如果側睡的話,枕頭放在腿中間,對齊臀部,蠻舒服的!
Use a body pillow or pillow in between your legs when you sleep. It helps align the hips and just feels good.
-最重要的就是要好好用對的姿勢來抱寶寶,這個真的很重要。不管我們是在親餵、瓶餵、抱抱、搖寶寶、安慰寶寶、換尿布、彎腰等,我們都是在使用我們的背部。防止進一步受傷的方法,就是確保你用正確的姿勢並且使用正確的肌肉來完成上面講的所有動作。
And probably most importantly, hold your baby properly. This is key. We’re either breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, holding, cuddling, rocking, soothing, changing diapers, bending over, leaning, and overall just straining our back muscles. A way to prevent further injury is to make sure you have the correct posture and are using the correct muscles to do all of the above.
這些只是幾個簡單的小撇步可以幫助我們減輕一些疼痛,媽咪們,辛苦了!
These are just a few basic tips to help ease some of the pains we have. Mommy, 辛苦了!
