haha ok i'm gonna complain again.

but first, let's talk about my departmental dinner on wednesday. haha dun be so excited yet abt my deptal dinner. my dept has 3 of us only -- 2 traders and ME. lol

we went to far east square for a late dinner, after staying in our office till 7.40pm. ahaha talked about my background, their work and the risks of being a trader. haha.. they mentioned that finance is not an industry to stay for life, and tt they are prepared to be sacked any moment. heard that a super experienced counterpart of theirs was sacked becoz he or she underperformed or sth. leng i totally agree wif ya in ur latest post, the harsh realities of this world.

oh oh i heard that my company's gonna have a dinner, an event or sth liddat. shld be held two tuesdays later. hehe interesting.

thursday was HELL. really. i was kept busy the whole day. in the morn from 11-12.30, i was out of office to attend a bloomberg training course. hehe cool. but i learnt super basic stuff, some of which i have already learnt from my trader, and i know abit bit more! hehe. so maybe i shld request for some other courses! free sandwiches and beverages provided. the beverages, such as pink dolphin, milo, juices, just wadever la, could be found in fridges like those we see in 7-eleven. super duper big and spacey kind. =D i shld have kope more pink dolphin back to keep in my pantry!

the people in bloomberg mustn't be easily distracted man, coz trainees for courses were always walking around, chatting in their pantry which is not enclosed and just nx to their work station. there will be courses conducted there weekly, more than once per week, yet they could be so focused in their work. *admire sia.

i also wanna become someone of that calibre. yes. someone of worth. haha

oh yea.. but too bad the sandwiches have mayo. YUCKS. so i da bao some hotdog and salad to lunch in. hehe enjoy life man. sat in pantry and chatted with angeline. and my traders were back from lunch again, and i gotta go back to work. their breaks super short, it was like less than half an hour can.

then i started packing one of my traders' belongings. files, papers and practically everything on his desk into boxes i've found. yea our finance side is currently conducting a re-structuring as there are a few pple who have no seats in the office at all. too many input, too less of output. so my area was shifted to the back of the office, in a corner just next to the pantry, from the area nx to the sales and marketing dept. so saddddd.. i couldnt talk to the pple there anymore. just got to know one ger there. she looks young and frenlY~ i like her!!! ahahaha sorry im not les.

started talking to other fund managers abt the shift. heard from my trader that we will be shifting to another building in raffles as well sometime next year. will i live to see that day in my company? hahaa.. and i happily chatted with a few while packing. but the FI pple still as dao as ever. sai. only one person is fine there. it was such a gd day for me. but matters on price discrepancies crept in.

it wasnt my fault la. haha my trader got the prices and quantity from the respective brokers and sent the info to me, and i just followed wadever i see on the email and keyed in its respective prices and quantity. who knows the brokers had given us the wrong info. in the end i had to send several emails to rectify this problem even though the problem was talked through the phone and in person. i had already told the back office that the new and correct prices from the brokers were stated below. so isnt it straightforward that we shld use the new prices? aiyah i dunno them la. so i sent a SAME email back, with the same info on new prices and quantity and stated again for them to use the new prices.

this wasn't going to end my day. i happily found one stock stranded on my system, which was in a "confirmed" status, signalling that the trade wasn't sent for settlement yet (it shld have been cleared 2 hrs ago actually). so i called them (the same dept as previous matter) up for assistance. one actually lashed at me, "in confirmed status how to export the trade out?". i was so stunned. coz all the while the trades must be changed to "confirmed" state from an "approved" status by me or my traders before they can export it out. i checked with my traders and confirmed my doubts, and i told her tt the trade cannot be exported if it was in an approved state, not confirmed. in the end, we ended the call unhappily and i seeked help from IT. it's like, she din even get the facts right and snapped at me. wad the.. aiyah why do pple i liaise with seem to hate me so much. and pple around me are so nice. why can't they be as nice as those pple around me? sad, isn't it? when those whom i needed their cooperation treat me in this way. but the lady who snapped at me always smiles at me, ahaha maybe she doesn't know who i am. if she does, she'd probably gimme a black face. sad case.

but it's okie. most people treat me nicely. although i cannot rule out the possibility of two-headed snakes. at least most of them smile and make small talks with me, not like those dao aunties, whether they were gossiping abt me or not. i dun care now. high class pple like me don't gei gao with low-class biatches or gossipers.. and i don't need them to talk to me to survive there. no thanks to contaminating my pure mind, and thanks for giving me all this shit.

anyway, the cleaner auntie advised me to zao after finding a perm job. haha dunno la. anyway i got good deals man. my trader gave me hongkong disneyland's stamps. LIMITED wor. super duper limited. think it was issued to or bought by customers who visited HK disneyland on its first day of opening. given by one of our brokers, and passed on to me! hehe and i got a new set of board game i think. some game to unravel tomb secrets or sth. also a water bottle and a hp pouch for participation in the fire drill, which made me walked down 25 storeys becoz of a fake fire on the 15th storey. haha best thing was, i was clearing my station when i came upon one notebook left behind by an experienced trader. oooooh.. my trader asked me to bring it home for reference. cool!

it's finally GOOD Friday! a day when i can sleep in and wake up late. but sadly, i shot up at 9am today! dunno am i too used to waking early that i jerked awake upon seeing sunlight. haha oh and i met up with my insurance agent today. she wanna poach me into her company whahahaha. she wanted me to attend the casual interview at their chalet, with interactive games and one-to-one talks with the director, who will personally select his desired members for his new batch of recruits. she said i will surely get in after the interview and tt i have wad it takes to be a successful agent. does crapping constitutes an agent's character? haha she told me that she has been waiting for this day for so long, after prior discussions with another agent who also knows me. both of them feels the same way and wanna get me into the team. i got an agent's face ISSIT!!!! tell me honestly!! sad. haha.. being an agent can be a stepping stone to the finance line, not forgetting the huge amounts i may earn. but i seriously have no passion for selling policies or offering such advices yet.

haha i'm going for tarot reading tml with ting. joycie is interested too. wad shld i ask? i think france trip is a must. and nx would be my career, am i reli suitable for finance. lastly, relationship? ahahaha.. no im not despo, ask for fun can. maybe i can ask her to get an answer from the cards for the number of bfs i had, to test her reliability. since i had none, if she gave me any answer other than that then i can jolly well forget about wad she says. ahahaha! shopping trip with joycie tml too! i'm seriously in need of formal wear!! money-depletion in progress.. lol
