Tired

So boring.. I only talk about myself? Ha, maybe. I dont like to write about other people coz firstly they not like it. Secondly, I don't feel good publicizing the private times I have with each of my friends. I can post pictures of my good friends but then again I am no longer a photo whore and no longer that free to post and make my blog pretty.

Despite my usual hangout with friends, life is pretty monotonous. I just love the feeling of being home, resting after a long day's of work. besides, since Daniel is not in town, there's one less reason for me to wanna be out.

My work laptop crashed on me yesterday. Though the IT guys said hey would help to retreive the data, they warned me that that the chances of success are slim. I really wished I can have everything back... all my year's hard work and effort of my past projects and important documents are stored in that tiny drive. I had to redo some of my recent works in the meantime. When my boss realised that my laptop crashed and my file's inside, he muttered fucking hell. Then, i tried to run this mega report on my colleagues laptop which almost caused his laptop to crash. I am deemed as a destroyer now. :( My boss jokingly said not to touch his pc but i know he mean it. The file that i am to run is massive, just to drag down the formulas ove 15 thousand rows takes an hour;and PC usually hangs; i have to redo on various pcs until it works. stupid dell laptop - cant support shit. I'm going to get my laptop with a new hard disk and upgrading the RAM to 2 GB. Hope things will be better.

CFA Level 2 is getting challenging. I am having a hard time digesting it.

Winds of Change

I have been on my permanent desk for quite some time now. Everyday flew by so quickly as there is just so many thing to do. so many things to pick up. It's a good thing eh, before I know it - its time to go home. I've picked up a new hobby watching the stocks and currencies. Recently I bought Citi at 1.95. It's not exactly a good buy i must say, i changed my market order from 1.75 to 1.95. Missed the all time low, now I am back to square one - will have to see how the market reacts on Monday. It's interesting watching the market react to fears of nationalisation. I am betting on citi to not be nationalised with a target price of 4.

I was just looking at Shin Yeh website a while ago (http://www.shinyeh.com.sg/menus.php). I have heard rave reviews about this restaurant. You would have to book in advance for seats. Will probably make a trip down next month.... Maybe you should too.

Community Service Project

Haha, my boss is getting me to run this project whereby senior members of their bank are to fork out some time to provide some services to the staff. Staff are then to bid for the services they require all for the sake of fund raising for our 150 years in Singapore celebration. Here are some of the items I have thought of:

1) Teach special skills that you have such as– making paper mache/ origami, tennis, badminton, bowling, golf, magic tricks, first aid, speed reading, skating, baking cakes/biscuits, art work, wine appreciation, photography
2) Provide hemming services - dresses, curtains, pants, replace broken zippers
3) Provide career advice/counseling/financial advice/trading tips
4) Make some time to allow participant to get to know you through lunch
5) Bring participants around on a trishaw
6) Accommodate a participant a visit to your home

Any more ideas? Which one do you think can earn the most money?

Feedback and comments please!

Small lesson learnt - Never to short

Ahhh... what a terrible experience. I shorted SGX shares unintentionally and was unable to buy back as I did not have access the the trading platform in my office. To my horrow, the market order was done for theday. As this is a violation of the MAS regulation, I was almost fined a thousand dollars... Luckily i managed to borrow the shares for delivery. I bought the shares back today; made paper profit of 60 bucks. After all the financing charges, I hope I can at least make 5 bucks. Whatever, I hate the bloody philips platform coz it's not live and it's not very user friendly. Worst, it can't be accessed in my offfice. I am thinking of cancelling my account with them asap.

Yesterday, I was just looking at the video- The best place to work - Google, on youtube. Indeed, it's repleted with 5 class facilities. :)
