There's so much to talk about.

 

Haven't update blog for ages. Well, life is still quite, i mean exhausted, but yeah, there's still so much to talk about.

 

Saw a documentary the other day on ABC, on atheaism, is it how you spell it? Well, seriously, i think people are sad when they insist on the fact that they beleive in science. Ironically, these people always claim that they have an open mind. The sheer arrogance of repeating their hypothesis, sampling, new hypothesis, sampling... Seriously tho, if there're so many things you can't justify in the world, instead of denying its possibility, why can't these people just chill for a minute and be an idealist.

 

I know i probably make no sense here, i saw it comming when i went back and chew through 3 more chapters of CFA last night at around 3:30am. I'm still awake right now, thanks to the 5 shot venti long black from starbucks, and a double quarter from meccas.

Caught up with uni friends the other day. I mean, yeah, Uni friends. I have uni friends. Met them in the first semester, non of us ever show up in uni ever again. Its fascinating how different we turn out. I suppose every one of us worked out alright at the end.

 

W, being the second youngest, graduated, and went for a masters in UK. Heard he's contract ended with Bloomberg, recently wandering around for a new job.

 

S, your real life paris hilton inspersonation(by that i mean the background, not the bimboness), went back to Sing and became a CEO trainee.

 

D, on the other hand, made it onto every news paper and internet website for internet banking fraud. Currently studying again, and planning out a new future.

 

Me, being the mediocre, got out of uni 3 months late, living out your average working class life.  

 

Still remember that day we met in Marketing 1001, we probably never imagine how life would turn out. After all, they produced my side way parking car, they produced D's Lipton Green Tea.

 

Spent a few days to convince myself that it's ok to screw up CFA. After all if i factor in all the abnormal gain this year, i can probably afford to take the exam again in December. Its nice to look at life from my credit/debit philosophy.

 

Just to live up to friend's prejudice on my blog, let me talk about work.  This is for my personal references in the future only, skip this session if you feel like laying down some dry mumbling comment.

 

7 Day Repo got fixed. Well, it hasn't, but i know the product so well, i can probably workout the future movement of the rate as well as working out a 2 year PV movement on top of head. Felt bad have to leave work early now days to rush home since the exam's comming. Spend whole day setting up an INR OIS spreadsheet. This whole screw all your software D.I.Y. all settlement cashflow calculation really got me learning big time.

Just a quick update.

 

Still losing the battle big time. I'll never let anyone use my computer ever again. i've already deleted all of the porno collection, movie collection, random collection and comic collection, yet the comp is still heavily infected. Yeah, i now realize, the virus hides inside the each drive. So you cant exactly delete it. And you dont have to run it either, since everytime ur computer is connected to say, C drive, it will start multiplying...

 

Still tired, still exhausted, still stressed out... I want to sleep.

 

A bit ahead of the study now, well not ahead, i'm still way too behind, but yeah, better then wat i expect it.

 

Cant use computer for almost a week now, feels alright, i mean i dont even have to turn on my comp anymore, i suppose its a good sign.

 

Just like to say, i've got my movie friends, rock N roll friends, car friends, brand whore friends, literature friends and people at work, people want to invest, wow friends, and miscellenous hobbie groups. But for my whole life, i've never find a person i could talk computer with...

 

Yeah, i'm probably crazy, but i'm definitely going ahead with it!

周五，工作到深夜。UNIT HEAD说，When i walk pass you, i can see 7 day repo on top of your head, you should write a book about all these chinese exortic products. He's got a point there== I WANT TO FIX IT. I KNOW I CAN FIX IT! It all started when i just want to get credit for fixing it and some overtime pay, perhaps a little more things to do. Now its personal. I need to fix it, i will, Ahhhhh... Anyway, its weekend now, officially switch off.

 

下班和经理在楼下吸烟，讨论STEROID。他最近拿到些RUSSIAN ILLEGAL IMPORT。好像是给马用的，效果很好。正在考虑中。嗯，CFA以后要开始运动了。最近又非常颓废的胖了起来，身体很不健康，不行啊。

 

前几天听到了惊天动地的八卦，然后被震撼了。MANAGER说，他第二天早上也不再能确定太阳是否会从东边升起，好扭曲的世界啊！

 

最近还在看K-1。SUPERVISOR说我的未来路程应该是Dealer => Analyst => Deutsche => K - 1。算了，要是当不了DEALER，就跑去打K-1好了。反正现在有那个FRAME==说不定能成为中国版的HON MAN CHOI。

 

周五晚上，和朋友在喝酒。哦，陪朋友在喝酒，最近很害怕酒精==所以只喝CRANBERRY JUICE。星期一朋友的女朋友要来面试，如果成功，又可以Debit Referal Bonus Receivable.

 

看著另外两个朋友以外星的语言讨论著INVESTMENT，真觉得，老了啊== 什么社会啊，周五夜晚喝酒还能说RETURN ON INVESTMENT的PV。

 

忽然发现，其实自己也很不喜欢另外部门的UNIT HEAD。只是一直没有人跟我讨论这个话题。感觉，就是一个‘阴阳怪气’的SUPER MARIO。嗯，不敢恭维。

 

喝了咖啡，喝了下午茶，吸了点烟，弹了下吉它，摸了下钢琴，我的歌又写了一段，该读书了==

 

PS WRX的车型真是一代不如一代了==

PSS 最近很多人毕业，不能参加，实在抱歉。

PSSS 车子轮胎爆炸了，还没有油，麻烦啊。

PSSSS 欠了一屁股债，到处都是帐单，完全没有还的心情==，很郁闷自己在理财方面居然完全没有金牛+魔羯的态度。

PSSSSS 昨晚在街上看到一量KARAOKE BUS，被创新的概念感动了。

PSSSSSS 最近在努力学习韩文，每天一句。

PSSSSSSS 考虑染头发中，可能会配副眼镜，发表JASON F/W 2007

PSSSSSSSS 买了票，去看GUNS N ROSES。最近每天都在大声的唱NIGHT TRAIN，发现原来自己的声音是能唱上去的==

PSSSSSSSSS Citi ad is so touching==, but its still gay when you try to explain the spelling confusion==

 

好了再PS就PS146了，还是去读书吧...

 

In conclusion, my blog is much more than random stuff at work =P

....

 

.......

 

This morning, i said to my manager, look, i want to resign.

 

Far out.

 

PBOC rate - People's bank of China offer a rate that changes every 6 months or so, its cool. We update it once, and leave it forever.

 

SHIBOR - Shanghai inter-bank offered rate, steady movement, Shanghai's equivalent of LIBOR.

 

I mean who the fuck came up with the idea of a 7 day REPO?!?!?!?!?! I mean OIS rate i can understand, you borrow money for a night, and re-pay the next day. Whoever came up with the idea of having an interest rate that's based on the value of money if you sell it out and buy it back on 7 days is a Fucking Genius. An interest rate that fluctuates daily within a range of 1-5% is fucking awsome for the OTC trades market.

 

Seriously tho, if you want to create a new product, define your rules.

 

After spending 3 days talking to Head of Trading Hong Kong, Head of Trading China, Head of Trading Deutsche Singapore, i've came to the conclusion that, seriously everybody just jump in when they saw the new product, but no one actually think about how it works==

 

On a brighter note, after my manager almost had a heart attack cause he took me 100% seriously on the whole resign business, i've told him, look man, i'm just kidding,

 

Well, i'll probably base my sick/annual/study/parental/primary carer leave on the settlement report from now on==

 

After all the Citibank New York people sits on their Wall St office, going, man, i don't get them little asian countries, nothing's define on ISDA, let's just ignore them.

 

They really do have a point there==

 

刚刚想睡觉，居然有人敲门。

 

看看时间，3点半。

 

什么人啊，有病啊，半夜来按门铃...

 

居然...>!!!!

 

被吓到了，自己都不相信。

 

一个月内，连续两次不见钱包，都有人送回来，是世界上好人太多了，我平常坐TAXI给小费给太多了，因为深夜讲电话而忽然幸运起来，还是今年运气好得莫名其妙呢？

 

不知道啊。

 

还得谢谢姥爷。

 

经过几次教训，我决定，让我可爱的钱包先退休好了。与其莫名其妙的丢了，还不入一直放在家里，愿意深重的钱包呢！

哦，写了标题，想一下，原来不是周末。

 

才星期二而已。又得回去上班了。

 

最近又有人辞职，真是可怕。主要是，该离开的反而都还耗在这里，做得好好的却接二连三的出人预料。算了，反正和自己没关系。现在多少还是有自己的麻烦，可是比起以前，已经好多了。

 

至于工作本身，香港真是个乱得可怕的地方。每天都有莫名其妙的人不肯回EMAIL，打电话还拖个半天，星期一晚上六点，面对著4个上千万的unconfirmed settlement，真有种发自内心的疲惫。那时下楼吸烟，想著深夜，告诉自己，这点小事都应付不了，还想当DEALER，然后居然就熬过来了。

 

放假一整天在家。车子轮胎报废了，真是麻烦。路上还很多热心的人提醒，很尴尬，特别是因为车子太高调了。==

 

看完了CFA Book II，最后一两个CHAPTER学了些东西。感觉还算接受得了，希望剩下的4本也一样。

 

深夜了，心里静静的，静静的，静静....
