Changed my profile...

It once read "working as a no-lifer". I've changed that because I realise I do have a life, in fact, and even though I work 12hr weekdays - 60hrs a week, I have 2 full days off.

And compared to a housemate of mine, who works like 15-18 hours a day - and sometimes on weekends, I am very lucky indeed.

And I'm liking my job more and more...

And my gf's coming over.. what "no-lifer"... so loser... :D

Christmas Eve's Eve

I'm getting the festival mood.. the office was so lively and happy (even though its half empty) and everyone was having fun chit-chatting. By 12 noon, only a quarter of the office were left. I left early too!

Quickly did some grocery shopping because all shops and restaurants will be closed on the 25th and 26th. I don't want to starve, and seriously, when I mean all shops/restaurants are closed, its really a total shutdown.

And then my girlfriend is coming over!! HOORAY! thats possibly the happiest thing happening in my life right now. another day and a half.. comeon comeon comeon.. *wait eagerly in chair for time to pass faster*

i'm a happy man today :D

What did I do during the weekend?

1. Eat
2. Sleep
3. Watch serials
4. Play computer games
5. Stay indoors

Its just too cold to go out. And I'm too lazy.

Will update again. take care.

Speaking Mandarin part 2

I take back my words. I can't speak Mandarin.

Simple colloquial Mandarin is ok. not a problem. but when it comes to words like er.. risk management, capital protection, quantitative analysis, leverage, derivatives, securities, trading platform etc... WAH.

I take back my words... I should really brush up on my Mandarin...

Speaking Mandarin

I'm so glad I can speak a little Mandarin, no mattter how half-past-six (meaning sub-standard).

Thats because, in a week, a couple of senior executives from China are going to come down to visit our capabilities - and I've been invited to join some others in bringing them to dinner - just on the basis of being able to speak Mandarin. MUAHAHA.. I'm expecting very expensive Chinese food. MUAHAHHAAHAHA

I'm glad Lee Kwan Yew made us learn Chinese.
