Been a while since im on unpaid leave.. been rotting at home and trying not to overspend.. eating into my savings man, but the spending habits just dun change.. everyday spend a bit, end up spent a lot in a month..
My mum keep telling me I should save up since I going to start renovating my flat and settling down... yeah! Im settling down.. finally haha and I got my flat liao! Now just settling all those loans and stuff and waiting to collect my keys.
Even though its in Jurong West(supposingly nobody want, which is rubbish), and 2nd floor, I still like it and its near MRT and stadium (though i seldom go) and most imptly, just 5 mins walk from my parents.
Guess the hassle and hussle of doing all the admin work and preparation work are tedious,like applying for loans, sourcing for Interior design and contractors, and most imptly ROMing!
Guess it will be worth it once u step into ur lovenest!
CFA exams is coming in 10 days time and alamak Im still at book 1. Jialat man. Super not motivated to study. I must buck up for the next 10 days. At least dun fail so badly. Wahahaha.
And straight after that, I will be back at my old work place.. dunno whether its a good or bad thing. Praying for everything to be smooth sailing for me.. i hope so.
Audit is not so bad afterall?????????????? *evil grinz*
There is this particular person that deserved special mention... Who else but the Mother F******CB kia, HJY! Owe pple money, sms him dun reply, call him no answer... feel like it then just sms and say" Im very tight this few months, will return u asap." I replied back and heard nothing from him again. F***ing irresponsible bastard... got money to gamble, got money to fly to australia to chase back gf, got money to afford a car and stay condo, no money to return debts. WTF!!!!!!! Curse u every blardy damn day! I m damn damn damn pissed. Better dun let me see u on the street...
No more lending money to pple liao.. no more credit for pple. Everything CASH!

Ydae was my one mth with Credit suisse and also my last day!
Guess product control is not really my cup of tea... was pretty pissed by the environment for the first 2 weeks and then things start to really looked better when i start clicking with my colleagues.. maybe if this has happen earlier, I might not have quit. Haha..
Currrently jobless.. going to slack for the next one month til I rejoin PwC.
Having my doubts abt rejoining.. feel damn insulted when I saw one of my managers at Mono and kenna suan-ed... KNN. like 2nd class citizen if i go back, like i cannot survive OUTSIDE PwC. NNB.
Anyway see how things go... taking these 3 weeks to lose weight, to pass my ippt and to study for my CFA.
No income though! jialat..

Woohhooo! Been a long time (5 whopping months!) since I updated my blog... also dunno where to start. Lets see....
- Bought a new Toshiba laptop and using it to update my blog now.. =)
- Met up with Xiao S for her Bdae treat at WAraku!
- WAnted to try for Singapore Open Graded B, but the cutoff so blardy high 209 average. Yawnz man.. spinner sure die at Mt faber...
- Just switch job from PwC to Credit Suisse, from audit to product controller role... past 2 days has been going thru orientation, have not gone into work proper.. Feeling kinda weird in the outside world and feeling super insecure cos of the unfamiliar environment and meeting pple from all sorts of educational background, races etc etc.. So unlike audit, where everybody is from NTU or SMU or Australia etc etc and all studying ACCOUNTANCY!! Haiz.. kinda home sick feeling...
Hopefully everything turn out to be fine... Praying damn hard....
Spent the last day taking pictures with most of my colleagues like peijun, esther, becky, boon thong, YCS, Mich mich, Sharon, Ching Chin, Zhenyu, Zhexuan, Panni, PEili, Maggie, Hoan etc etc.. Din manage to take with Celine and PRiscilla, my 2 best pal in PwC.. Oh well.. lets see how much i'm being missed...
Colleagues & frens ~ just a fine line....
Anyway Im REally grateful to PWC for everything that has been given to me.. Though no CA program, no overseas secondment, I will still rem all the beautiful memories.Would still love to work for PWC again... but no audit hopefully..
- Ballot for flat at Jurong too! Got a number - 0812!~~
But dunno whether can get the sector that i wanted.. maybe yes maybe no, but chances are slim.... Pray for the best too!
- Started studying for my CFA level 1 too... pretty hard to work and study man.. so many books and so many pages to read! Faint man... But just feel kinda motivated, kinda map out wut I'm going to do in the near future...
CFA ~ Financial Engineering ~ Valuation or other quantitative position like equity research etc etc.. haha pass my CFA then say!
- Wun be going overseas anymore this year. Hoping to use my leave for CFA study.. hopefully it gets approved by my ang mo boss.... HEard that my unit that doing well... CDOs... subprime! Dunno bonus affected or not.. haiz. So many changes.. yawnz..
Planning to go New Zealand next year with GX and WArren,hopefully sometime in June? Haha but its CFA time again! Yawnz.
- CAnt wait to attend ADeline wedding in Dec! haha 21st to be exact! lol i finally rem!
Life been boring so far.. nothing much to do, but past few weekends been playing soccer and bowling haha. Shiok man.. but once work proper starts, most prob got to hang up my bowling balls liao... Anyway EVERYTHING is so uncertain now.. wait for my next update!

Was happy that my dear was happy cos it was her first time watching at esplanande. =)
Waiting to catch Spiderman 3, POTC - the world end, Ocean 13 and Next. No chance to watch them in Taiwan.

Been a while since I updated.
Nothing much except for work and work and more work.
Went Taiwan for 12 days in late April. Pretty nice trip but wish the weather is a bit colder.
Temp ard 22- 28 degree celsisus. Did some shopping, sightseeing and makaning. Travelling ard Taiwan is tiring man. Few few hours of train ride is super tiring.. but surprisingly, we can sleep on the plane, on the train and on the mrt!
On compassionate leave from 7th til 9th May. Grandfather passed away. This time, I wasn't hit as hard as my granny's 2 years back... Maybe I wasn't as close to my grandfather. Or maybe I'm already numb to all these. Last year, my dad's brother passed away after a freak accident too.. haiz. Part and parcel of growing up....
Realised that T's grandfather passed away peacefully in Feb this year. Haiz... a bit too late now but I guess as long as he lived his life to the fullest, we should be happy for him..
Since coming back from Taiwan, suddenly feel I need a change in my life and my career. Time to seek a direction.. Was looking at my RETAIN and realised my senior year at PWC is almost packed with Barclays. Goosh.. focus on banks? get my CFA? *scratch*
Anyway, need a change in my lifestyle.. got to start somewhere. We shall see....
