every single morning waking up at 6am sharp and leave home an hour later haven been exciting

but work has been good. the people are good and im sad if i were to leave.

the days tat i went past being jobless and now, with god's help

its getting better...ok, i shant think abt it but i got two calls for interviews tml. somehow they got my number from somewhere but im juz excited. i bet tat me not being tied up with the would of kiddiness haf actualli show me the better part of life. londona nd ireland trip coming up soon i hope as plan and many more. happiness!

so today was just pure meetings and more of tat coming for the rest of the week.

time passes realli slow but its fun actualli with kay, the gerl with the jap-malay mix.

and there's the new employees tat is coming on board starting next week.

iced tall vanilla latte

the week have been of high trending so far.

And the end has not been of any lows.

Shagness and excitement covered most of the emotions

but well, there is more to come.

My first week at work was all fine. Induction and more training.

Many tests to come and I hope I would jump over each hurdle with ease.

Insya allah.

To know the fact that survival rate is low, I can just wish for the best.

Well, nobody said it would be easy.

Yesterday, went to afa's place for his bro's engagement.

Seems like everyone is getting engage now (mebbe its just my age group getting older).

I love the atmosphere where there is smiley faces, good food and nice settings.

So someone said,

"When ur turn?"

To myself, plan the days properly. And smile!

"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.

London bridge is falling down, my fair lady!"

Cheers,

Fish!

a new beginning

I gotta admit tat i am becoming rusty

But let the rust disappear and go away

It was tiring but I am just happy

Tat a new beginning is starting.

Nobody said it was going to be easy

It cant be so hard too right?

Believe in myself I will

As usual and wish I cud fly soon.

of humblings and kiddos

The weekend gateaway was great and so was the charcoaled-blackened chix and squids.

Ad-hoc celebration of mid-life of big bro's gf with tat nicey choc cake.

I remembered I left tat age not long ago but im sure ppl of my time and before would share the same thought as me. (: Somehow the hypothetical remark tat people talk about being the kids of age 19 to 21 is rebellious is "half men true". Haha! Oh well...I've seen it at my time in Starbux and of coz of recent. Well, the prob i think is tat some wants to be in a referent position and they tend to think they noe about life. I can understand tat side of the child development and if possible, they should also learn to develop their EQ and IQ up to the minimum adult level before they try to be one.

Humility is one think...respect is another and of coz, both are interwined somehow or rather. I am simply CBB cos I been thru ALOT (!!!), just like those of my age group and older. IF i may say, I am humble enuf not to act clever tho can always brag on and on and respect is something I've earn from many.

Rule of thumb: If ur think u are higher than others, dun juz say it but show it. Cos u neva noe that ur actualli 10ft below them.

Cheer!

P/S: Im sooo farking excited about tml cos at last, I haf something to look forward to - WORK. I got the job Im looking for in one of the top bank in Singapore and also, thanks to u al for being there for me! Wanna cash? Come see me! I also need!

curiosity kills the cat! ..meow... *updated*

it's just me!

I think its just me or wat but errrm, i just dun like the idea of selling insurance and ILPs. For those non-finacially sound, ILP are investment-linked portfolio. (:

Ok, im sure we shud haf come across ppl who address themselves as financial consultant or financial advisors or wealth management consultant - they just means the same. Please note that I am not writing this because I look down on this profession and trust me, some of them are big earners! The sole reason for this entry is just to share the experience that I gathered through interviews for the abovementioned post(s).

To me, this is my personal view. I just dun believe tat I am cut for the looking-for-clients kind of job and where my monthly sustainabilty depends very much on the number of clients and wealth that I managed to squeeze out of them to invest. The simple reason is most Singaporeans are still ignorant of the importance of having enough funds for future. And even they haf, they will believe in 'spending today cos u duno wat gonna happen to u tml'. Lol! I remember coming into an interview and made to belief that I was there for a relationship officer post and it turn out to be for a financial advisor job. Yes, I gotta admit, it was fun and I became more informed of the financial services industry and how it works. Moreover, it was interesting how the interviewer tried to convince me that I could put into use what i learned in school. Mind you, there are many financial advisors who dun graduate with a finance or banking qualification but still qualify as one after taking two or three tests. So wats the basis that I could put into use what i learnt into practice?

Well, mebbe the intention is there that coming from a finance backgorund give me a plus point but really, all I wanna do is to experience working in the bank or in the finance function of a company. I dun mind the office hours or the facing of computer everyday cos meeting ppl can be in many other ways. I dun mind not being big earners cos I noe money can bring u so much of job satisfaction. What I am relly looking at is the experience and relishing my interest in doing things like business analysis, arbitration and so on. Ok, I may not end up as a VP of a bank but life is too short not to do things that I been wanting to do. The opportunity will come very soon (i believe) and I reckon the short stints that i have doing temporary job in banks would have prepared me for wats coming ahead.

Some frens told me abt joining the civil service. Haha! Mebbe I will do it soon wen I think that my patience is running low. For now...let's wait for the right one to come and make do with wat I have.

- Pain is temporary, glory is forever -

Cheers!
