Investments?

Despite being in the financial sector in the banking sector, I have to admit that I am bad in investments myself. I haven't made any monies really in investments. I felt that rather than losing money, I am better at saving money, and I thought I didn't do a bad job. I was never a greedy person, at least, not at the expense of my savings. So perhaps, I will invest again when the investments prices go down, such as properties etc. But now, I don't even have interests in unit trust. Wait and see neh :) One just has to be contented with life.....hahaha

On MC On MC today

I was on MC, managed to leave office at 11 am. I am glad to have a bit of rest and stay at home at watch tv. Today, I have a surprise, that is, I happened to have dinner with Pooh-san with G-san. It has been so long since I catched up with this friend and I was glad we picked up again. Sometimes, if friends are friends, they will still talk even after a long period of absense. I agree on that, definitely.....

SCV finally......

Finally I got my SCV cable installed and since it is really getting cheaper now, so I guessed it is time. It is time to have more tv choices. Recently, I was kind of left out when my friends are talking about AXN and StarTV, and have realised that Singaporeans of my age group or younger have got over the free channels. That has prompted me to upgrade for my house and parents', both at the same time.

Today, it is Thunder's birthday and I look forward to our dinner with G-san, Milk, PL and Malcolm :). Hope all have a good weekend!

Friday midnight......

I felt so good now, because it is Friday midnite, going on saturday. At 1 pm, I really felt so peaceful, and on the other hand, happy to feel that the next 2 days will be fun. This evening, I spent again. This time round a pair of black leather shoes and another business pants I like quite a lot. I have been spending quite aimlessly recently, but I guessed that's ok lah, because I have been saving hard, working hard and playing hard :)

Yhew...... hope this weekend and last longer.....

Lydia Sum...... I salute to you!

I would like to pay tribute on this space to the late comedian host, Lydia Sum. I respect her fighting spirit to live. In life, yet, I saw so many people who treat their lives so cruelly, and self-torture themselves. There are people in this world who fought so hard to live, and I still see many people who never cherish their lives. Even for myself, sometimes, I took things too seriously that I have self-punished or self-torture myself. So that's a good reminder to us, to take good care of ourselves, my bodies and our happiness. What's more can I say?

Time = Luxurious Asset

One of the important things I learnt since taking up this job is managing the time I have for myself outside work. Since the working hours are now longer, I cherish my time outside work more.

I would want to do things I want to do within the limited time, and make sure I achieved it. On last saturday, I desperately told myself I need a haircut (I never have one during weekend for years as weekends are precious), so I make sure I spent my time wisely and also to ensure that I have sufficient nap. That will also means cutting down the soapy TVB dramas, which I have quitted successfully since last year :P

I tend to take care of myself and my loved ones more. I want to make sure that the precious hours are for pampering myself and my loved ones. So I will make sure I have a good time, and such that I will not complain that I have wasted my time.

I have learnt to rest my body more despite lesser hours, because I do not wanna get sick nor have no energy to work and play. So exercise is important, as well as recuperating the tired soul too.

Most importantly, I have finally realised that time is a luxurious asset :)

I hope I am not falling sick

Suddenly, I felt kind of tired this weekend. I am not too sure if it is the medication for my running-nose though, but I will surely take care of myself well enough :) Nonetheless, I managed to have a hair-cut yesterday, and got myself 2 books at Kinokuniya, 1 shirt and 1 Betula sandals. Hahahaa......and we alI have a good dinner at Al-Dente at Holland Village to celebrate Malcolm's birthday. Here's his cake from Hilton. I was kind of sorry that we have another friend's birthday on the same day, JC, but guessed we will meet her on another occasion.

Today, Melodii, Milk and PT will be here to have a Yu-sheng session (glad I am staying indoors). This year new year could have been meaningless without these friends. I definitely didn't feel the festive mood but I didn't care much either, since CNY was not my favourite occasion.

Hmmmm......I think I better catch some sleep before they come......

Long Hours ..... It's Ok Yo

I have many things to learn in this job, many procedures to follow, and thus many hours have been spent. I have not been working so hard or rather so many hours in my career. I felt that I am growing in this job and maturing too. Well, actually I think this job is miles ahead of the previous chinese bank, and I have no regrets a bit. So I strive to do better :)

Gambarimasho!

Viewing Problems...... Solving Problems

Some complicated problems happened in office today. Some of these problems have been magnified and some are as a result of miscommunication. I was glad that I have managed to stay calm to resolve everything, and left office in a satisfied way.

The lesson of the day is: problems come often, in different ways. Being careful, can avoid some but not all problems. What is important is, when such problems come, can we be calm and confident to conquer it? That would relates to our problem solving skills, communication / interpersonal skills. Not all problems can be solved the way we want. But if we can get it solved, we have succeeded. Therefore, if problem comes while it cannot avoid, just let it come and face it confidently and accept that challenge to conquer it. Fearing the arrival of problems will make you miserable.

Well, for that, I am happy that I have solved my problems satisfactorily and I have also learnt an important lesson. Cheers!

Tomorrow is valentine's day, so happy valentine's day, folks!

After a long day's work......

I am lazing on my bed, aimlessly and wanderlessly.... after a long day's work. We have to work hard and play hard, don't we? Most importantly to relax when u need to. The luxury of lazing is always wonderful, and it gives me the sense of peace, calm and feeling cozy and some nice soft music enhances the cozy ambience. Seeping my tea occasionally. Which is why, this is always the best part of the day. This is also a reason I do not want to sleep early, as the moments are luxurious.

Happy Chinese New Year Folks

This Chinese New Year brought us a 4-day long weekend. I have spent 2 days with friends and another 2 days resting at home. This is quite a good mix of play and rest. Although it can be tiring or busy, I like to play host to gatherings at my place and have catching up time. Yes, Yusheng, Bun-Luck, friends gatherings and my long sleeping hours are the highlights this year. Perhaps, this is my RAT year, I have won a little bit of money at Bun-Luck, but most importantly, it makes me cherish those around me even more and made this holiday a more re-charged and cozy one. Thanks, G-san and all for everything.

This is also the first time I debut using my new mac-book, having J-boy (my real nephew) teaching me and G-san how to switch from Microsoft to Mac. It's fun and interesting, and suddenly G-san and me became young students exploring new toys again.

So far, this year, I have enjoyed myself so far, be it at office or home. And I certainly hope it will continue. Last but not least, I wanna wish all everlasting health, beauty, youth and prosperity for the new year! Cheers
