Going to a whole new direction

I had been to three personal banking interviews and have lots of friends in personal banking. So I roughly know how they treat their employees. Its great to get into I presumed the best personal banking in Singapore. Interestingly, I had great disdain to personal banking long time ago. I was asked to join because of my friend, Chye. I wouldn't say personal banking is top of my choice but it will be something I wanna try after a year in audit.

Its funny when I tell people I am going personal banking. One side of friends will say,'' Woah, so exciting and fun. You can meet a lot of people''. I don't know what they say are honest but some are really interested in sales though. The other side of friends will say,'' I hate sales and its hard''. Some even go on further saying,'' don't come to me, I wont buy from you.'' .

Anyway, I have already make this choice and this could be a do or die decision. I really hope I can succeed and my sisters are very supportive as they can see in my eyes that I don't really like audit even though I am very pro accounting and a very number person. My mum is skeptical but she still supports my choice. This is a drastic career change and I have recently become closer to my audit friends. Leaving them is not easy.

There is no place for medicore performance in sales. Its either you can or you cannot. Lets see how I progress then :)

23rd July 2010

It is my birthday and I went to Jay Chou concert on my birthday. I think Jay Chou is one of the first blog entry in my blog. He 'makes' me listen to Chinese songs when my life only evolves in English songs last time. As what my friend said," Jay has changed the entire Chinese music scene :o ''
I was separated from my friend, Chong Tang, so technically I was alone in the concert. I bought the 101 tickets out of desperation and seriously don't ever get these seats. I cant even see the face of Jay Chou. Out of frustration, halfway I went to the back of $168 seats and had a better view of Jay. When the concert was ending in one hour, I hacked and edged closer to the back of $198. Super high and I think I will be even more high if my friend were with me :) It was a wonderful day and Jay Chou sang many classic songs to celebrate his 10 years in music industry. Looking forward to his Green Hornet movie. He is speaking English. Oh my God. Hahaha. A decade of Jay Chou era.

There are so many people who went to the concert. I saw Daphne and Shuxian. I heard Cora, Wein, Siwei and Jinhe went there too. So happy to see so many friends went to the Friday concert. There will be more to come on Saturday and Sunday!!

The photos are taken by Jinhe. He sat on the 228 dollars seat with powerful camera and skills. Thanks Jinhe

Soccer Bets

I bet two bets against the favourites which were Brazil and Argentina. Beside Spanish players, the two best players on the pitch left in this World Cup before the kickoffs were Kaka and Messi. They look energtic but they were subdued for most of the time. They are now out of the competition and I won my bets :) Haha.

Its Monday again, I feel so tired.

Jala Neti

I was quite frustrated about the fact that how come people can sleep 6 hours and they look fresh everyday. I have been sleeping 7.5 hours and I look very tired.

So I traced the root source and found that I always have nasal block during my sleep.

After intensive online research, I found Jala Neti. It involves pouring water (with salt dissolved in it) over your one nostril and water will thereafter come out from the other. Like a party trick right? Haha. Anyway, I tried it just now and initially its abit painful but mucus starting to come out.. I am so happy!! At least I can throw away my clinically not proven nasal sprays!

World Cup Fever and Fable

I didnt watch much of the World Cup's matches as I didnt subscribe to the World Cup channel. I had stopped playing football manager long ago and I started to sleep earlier. But tomorrow, I am going to play soccer with my secondary school friends. My red adidas street soccer boots can be used finally! Hope can score more goals as red brings good luck. However, my soccer skills are really mediocre. I think I played too much basketball instead but my heart is always with soccer and liverpool.

Some fable photos which were taken by my uni friend !!

My uni friend went to Korea by the way :)

My thoughts

As much as I want to feel optimistic, I am dragging my feet to work everyday.... I should change my mindset quickly

Magical 65kg

I have finally hit 65kg after three years. I duno whether I should feel happy or not. Took me 3 years to gain 5kg. My goal was 67kg but from my current body frame, I think I need to hit 70kg. Another 3 years ?

Furthermore, I am trying to keep myself healthy as whenever I fall sick, I will lose 1 kg.

Its great to feel heavy :)
