Smiley Face
Oooohhh i can't help but think that i am the right place and the right time. Some of my boss sensed my enthusiasm in coming to work and running projects. Little do they know that i am really excited. I even think about work even at home coz it keeps me high. Madness indeed.
I'm in the right department and in the right team. I'm getting the right projects and most impotantly I'm having the right attitude to bring me through this whole financial crisis unscathed. At least i believe so. :)
Right now in the banking industry, there's so much emphasis on internal controls and risk management. So if you're doing audit, don't fret. Stay where you are and you'll bear the fruits of your labour soon.
Ahh... I am so happy with everything in my life.
Let's end off with what Helen Keller said:
" Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence! "

Eeeks
Look at Mocca, lying on my favourite doormat.He's bald. I'm horrified with his new look.
I thought he was another dog.
I didn't know my dad brought him to the "stylist".
Hul...Where's all your pretty fur?

My New Friend
A number of thoughts crossed my mind as I write this.
I am in the middle of my VBA class right now while the lecturer goes on to recap what we did yesterday. In my mind, I am thinking of what breakfast to buy during the break. I am also thinking about how I should write this post. So yes, I know what you are thinking... Guilty as charged; I'm not exactly paying attention.
Anyway, I got acquainted with a new friend just 3 days ago. He's called VBA... sounds cheesy yeah. Please do not think that my relationship with my new VBA friend is unique, it’s none other than a normal relationship you have with your friends or family.
Why would I say this? It’s only when you know more about a person before you really appreciate him or her for who she is. Before that, the person is either irritating if not mostly normal. I’m giving VBA the benefit of the doubt because I have read and witnessed many of the interesting things he can do. He is probably not going to be my best buddy. Still, I regard him as a worthwhile friend to have.
I foresee getting to know VBA as an arduous task as he speaks in a language totally foreign to me. So far, I understand that he is a very logical person, so if you don’t make sense to him, he will tell you that, “Sorry! I can’t do it. ” and does not propose any solution. In his world, that is called “Error”. He tests my patience half the time… sometimes I feel like shutting him up.
Miscommunication happens when you don’t understand the other party or vice versa and probably will not get resolved if you don’t bother understanding. Just like how VBA will continue to vomit an error message until I learn and fix his problems correctly. For each time that I managed to troubleshoot successfully; I feel that I know him better. He gives me this sense of satisfaction that I can’t get from Daniel. Hope my relationship with VBA will reach greater heights.

Being Happy! Every single day!
Somehow, I hate hanging around with angsty people. That's because I have to expense a lot of effort trying to fight all these negative thoughts away.
I want to stay happy. I want to stay happy!!!!!!!!!!!
More so, I want the people I love to be happy!
Do you realise somehow Singaporeans just love to complain? From Inflation, ERP, educational system, foreign immigrants to inconsiderate Singaporeans. Besides, these people usually do not do anything about it.
Honestly, I really see no point in doing so; since it doesn't make things better. YES, sometimes it's good to vent these frustrations once in a while so that you might feel better. But little do some of us realise how detrimental vocalising these negative thoughts can be on our physiological health and the people around us.
I wouldn't say I am indifferent to the imperfections in the world. Seriously, we've have got to learn to live and deal with imperfections. They will always be around. So why not, view it as part as parcel of life? You'll be a much happier person.

Mapping my career
Ahhhh...I am seriously quite lost at this point in time. I have a rough picture of where I wanna be in future. I aim to a Business Consultant specialising in Financial Institutions. I aspire to gain enough domain and industry knowledge to become a subject matter expert to be a competent consultant in time to come.
I did a business analyst profile mapping today. Results shows that my role is primarily a business consultant role and my secondary role is a business MIS Analyst. Nevertheless, I know that I would definitely require 5 yrs of experience in order to perform the role well.
Well the ideal situation is that, my ultimate placement at the end of the programme would be in Operational Risk and Controls. I wish to stay in that area for at least 3 years to qualify for CPA, and thereafter pursue Masters in Corporate and Financial Law and then work for a Consulting Firm. MBA will come only in the later part of my life.
Though nothing is for certain, at least, I feel that I am at the right place at the right time and I will make the best out of it.
