Up, Up And Away
That's the amount I collected this CNY. It's really good money, 'earned' over 2 days of visitation. This is prolly the first time I received that much, with Mum and Gerrie's mom giving the bulk. =)
In fact, I found another packet when I reached home just now. It was from Richard & Margaret, with the message to me, "Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. Your thirst can only be quenched by His living water."
The message meant alot to me, especially when I have quite abit of things on my mind, not realising I have isolated myself from Him. I have buried myself with worldly material and unnecessary worries. Time to let go...
But it's really hard, considering the times where everyone is fighting to be financially independent. I received a text 2 days ago pertaining to funds. I noticed M@laysia is doing well, being the best performing for the past month. K0rea may also be catching up despite sluggish growth in 2006.
Was told that a 10% cash downpayment is required for resale flats; 20% for first hand.
With these, how can one not worry?
Like what the person said... it's no fun growing up.
There are some who would be graduating this semester. It seems that the 'hottest' job is working as a banker. In a survey done by ST, women hope to find partners as bankers. It also featured 2 persons who did career switches to be private bankers. There are many benefits of course, with starting annual pay of $70,000 - $100,000 for a RM; $300,000 to $400,000 for someone who is 35 to 45 years old. All these excluding performance bonuses. At the expense of being at the beck and call of the clients. I believe the most challenging part of the job is finding high net worth clients.
The weekend went by too quickly. Had the MM mid-term test, watched Ghost Rider with Gerrie and dinner with her family.
Sunday hasn't been too relaxed, with project meetings and assignment to be completed. =(
Shopping did helped a little. Missed the cK sale but at least Gerrie got herself a pair of Ted Baker.
Heading to bed now. Another long week.
