Happy Week

I have mixed feelings actually.


Due to some technical glitch, I'm still trying to fight for my c0mmissi0n for Feb.


I'm also worrying that my cases aren't able to get through by tml. Haiz... hopefully the und3rwrit3rs have taken notice of mine. Please!!!


Then I also 'fan' about the h0me l0an case which they didn't give me credit for. Argh.


Next month would be a good one. 'Cus I have secured over 23k p0ints. And that's a whole lot to start the month with.


Let's put work aside. Work and appointment tomorrow, roadshow on Sunday...


Reading Business Tim3s do help.





I made a small profit of $300 within 2 days. =)


Then I found a really good bargain. I got a Philips 32" LCD TV for $680.


...............................................


Saw a couple cute cars on the road today.


Swift with a scoop.


Pink Beetle.


And this awesome STi.

Dinner On A Monday

It started later than what was planned.


There was quantity. Duck skin, abalone, crabs, lobsters, BJOTW...


But the food didn't tasted that well.


Spending over 700 bucks at Owen's wasn't worth it.

Saturday and Toys

Ended work with a happy note today. B0ss was def. happy with the s@les figures both Cat and I would be reporting. We hurried with our paper work before rushing off to lunch with the other girls.





Lunch was at Ivins'. Place was clean and service was quick. I don't normally go Peranakan, so I left the ordering to them.





The dishes arrived promptly, but to my 'horror', they came in very small servings. Can you imagine them serving 2 pieces of chicken as one dish? The food was splendid. Or perhaps I was too hungry. I had ice-cream as deserts, foot the bill and then rushed off to my next appt.


Last night, I got myself a toy.


Ok, actual fact... HX and I shared to buy a Wii.


Then today, Gerrie got me another toy. Fine, this is not exactly a toy.


We had 1 hour before Horton starts, which btw is quite funny.


This is what she got me.





An Aviator.





The one I had been wanting.





This is the 577th piece out of 999 pieces.


This watch adds up to the 6th one in my collection.


Nights. Wii time.

L@zy Liz@rd

L@zy Liz@rd is located at the corner of a bldg in Bkt. Tim@h and draws a crowd mainly of exp@ts and pr0fessionals.


Tonight, it celebrated its 4th anniversary by throwing a party. There were free drinks and food from 7-9pm. The hospitality shown by the Filipin0 crew were great. The food were aplenty, with BBQ chicken wings, hotdogs, chicken/tuna wraps and grilled beef buns.


I was there for 2 rounds, with the teller group and the s@les group. I had Stella Artois whilst the girls had juices. With the s@les team, the food and drinks were secondary. The casual envir0nment offered us a chance to gr0use about the happenings in our lives.


Anyway, the J@ps had made a research that short sleepers tend to put on more weight. So I guess I should really hit the sack now.

Driving to town?

I left home at 830. Passed by the gantry. Beep. There goes $1.50.


Had to pass by another gantry to enter the (bd. Another $2.50.


Parked in HQ Bldg for 3 hours to attend a c0urse 'Understanding Cancer'. Parking cost more than $15.


Parked in C@pit0l T0wers for 0.5 hours. Cost me over $4.


The only consolation I had was a great lunch and a warm dinner.


Lunch was at 0cean's. The curry fish head was still superb.


Dinner was at G00d G00d's with the girls. The bitter gourd fish slice soup couldn't be any better.


I'm tired. Shall hit the showers now.

$ Matters

The 0utl00k of the mkt. has became w0rse, with the weakening of the d0llar. 0il prices struck a record high of $109.72 per barrel on Tuesday. C0mm0dities prices have been increasing. Mkt is still unstable even though U5 stocks rallied (while b0nds fell) on Tuesday, after the F3d said it would add up to $200 bill0n to the credit markets as part of a coordinated effort with 0ther central banks.


The present situation presents 0pp0rtunities though. I'm still inclined t0wards @sia, emerging mkts (BR1C in particular) fund5. Midd1e E@5t is becoming fav0urable. So are c0mm0dities.


Times like this may pr0ve to be advantge0us for d0llar-c0st avg. plans, such as regul@r-inve5tment/ inve5tment-linked insur@nce.


I would like to 0bserve a few c0unters in the meantime.


Smile. And l00k at the bright side. The w0rse is not over yet.


Disclaimer. The ab0ve p0st is of my own pers0nal view and sh0uld not be taken as an advice/f0recast/predicti0n. It d0es not take int0 a/c of y0ur pr0file 0r inve5tment 0bjectives.

Weekly Updates

Have been working non-stop but am glad there are still some pleasures in life.


Had dinner with HQ at Viv0 on Tuesday.





And then we caught 10,000 B.C. for free.


Pe@rly had made claypot rice for lunch on Wednesday and we went to R0z's place, where her maid made more dishes.





This is just one of her many apartments. I love the antiques.








I love Fish & Co.


Coca on Firday was nice.


Celebrated W0men's Day in branch. Gave out roses to all ladies who came to the br@nch.





And reserved 9 roses to place in Gerrie's living r00m.


Got myself a new watch.


Dinner at Old Airport Road was great.


Saw this bike while working today.





One of the nicest I've seen.


BBQ was great this evening.


As you can read, I'm too tired to write in sentences. My eyes are shutting.


Damn.

The Weekend Is Over

Stupid rain.


Wasted my time and energy to wash Blackathy and... let's call it Bluey at the moment.


Watched Fool's Gold. A funny picture. I'm looking forward to Sweeney Todd and 10,000BC.


Anyway, after the movie, rushed off to Ol' Changi Airp0rt market for a late dinner. And a really quick one. Had to reach cust0mer's place at 10pm. Within half an hour, everything was done.


I'm enjoying a can of beer now, as a reward to myself.


Onwards we go.

Start of A New Month

Feb has just ended.


Which was good anyway.


W0rk


Had been a terribly tiring month for me. So tired I took one evening off to go home to sleep. From 7pm to the next day.


Today's 2nd day of the month already. Very perked up already. No stress about having to sell regular-premium plans as I had closed 4 cases already. Now I just have to concentrate on the other products. This would be a good month. Last 0pportunity to invest using cpf0a funds, f0r th0se who have less than $20k.


Yesterday was so hectic. Didn't felt like Saturday at all. After the br@nch had cl0sed, I stayed back to do some paper work, for preparation of an appt. A few ph0ne calls came and I secured one more appt.


Left br@nch at 2 and rushed off to FEP to meet Gerrie for ramen. Had 1 h0ur to do a little shopping before I rushed off to an appt. at N0rthP0int. The deal that I cl0sed made b0ss... and me happy.


Since Janrie was w0rking in that br@nch, we chatted awhile bef0re she was summoned back to work. I went to Harvey N0rman and got Cat a micr0wave 0ven. Then I met the 3 l@dies and went to the wedding dinner together.


The wedding


It was held at M H0tel. The ballr00m was not bad. Most imp0rtantly, there were no pillars blocking anyone's view. The whole process was elegant and everyone l00ked so dressed. Xcept me, who had been running ard the entire day. Anyway, out of a sudden, I was m0tivated to w0rk even harder. To get my first pr0perty.


Dinner ended cl0sed to 11. Adjourned to Cat's new place. Very tastefully done. Comparable to Wicki's.


Well well... before I start day-dreaming about getting my property, an Omega.... I'd better prepare for my appt. at 10pm later.


Have a good Sunday.
