It's seriously late, considering i need to get up in less then 3 hours.

 

Well, what can i say. It's been one hell of a week.

 

Actually, not really. I just appriciate life too much to go to sleep on a Thrusday night.

 

Alright there are few things i would like to talk about.

 

First, i'm very glad that i'm getting marry. It's not longer an irrational impulsion, rush of blood to the head type of thing anymore. So please stop making light heart comments.

 

Secondly, TELSTRA F#$$#$*#$(#KEN pissed me off big time. I've bitched about how they stuff up my internet, put me on another plan, can't changed back and refuse to apologise. Now it gets worse. The billing person didn't know how to correct my plan, so he suggest to put me on a different plan and then change back, one nice bright fella, it did fixed the problem. YES! Unfortunately, i received a bill at the end of the month, charging me 3 connectional fees as well as different types of plans. I'm well and truely prepare to go to court. After all, being an australian, i should sue for the sake of it! This is why i'm still up at this time of the night, since i didn't pay the bill, and they're threatenin to disconnect my phone, so i quicking find a new ISP and change my homephone, so i can default my bill in STYLE!

 

On a brighter note, PBOC (People's Bank of China) is the SH!T. I can't emphasis it enough, but this is one hell of a bank everyone look up to. If one day i ever work there, i'll wear my over size GANGSTA bling blings and roll in my pimped up HongQi sedan with 25 inch chromes!  If you piss them off, they can crash your portfolio on a domestic level, by changing it's rates. If they want to mess with you, simply replace all their reserve to a different currency, the world economy will be trashed in no time.

 

Right, almost forgot, it's being quite sometime i blog, last weekend i went to skirmish. First time ever. It's fun. It's exhausting, especially in muddy on going winter rain. It HURTS! And above all, you get an amazing mid/lower body workout, that will stay in you for a whole week. Considering the fact that i'm still having problem standing up==

 

My engagement trip is planned. I'm gonna go to Taiwan => Hong Kong => Guangzhou => Shandong => Beijing => Shanghai => Miscelleneous places around there => Guangzhou => Hong Kong => Home. I will disconnect my mobile and not check my email for a month.

In order to do that, i need to check the whole "to do list" below,

 

1. Take passport photo on Saturday.
2. Rock up to immigration office, enquire and apply for a new passport.
3. On the same day, find, print out, fill up and hand in my credit card and bank account application, WITH the passport photos.
4. Shop.
5. Save up.
6. Once bank account/credit card is setup, walk to Dixon Building in Chinatown, visit Friend'y dad for my tax return.
7. Cash my Tax Return, along with the Tax return from last year, which i still can not cash since my current account name is JASON instead of my chinese name on the Cheque.
8. Re-enroll CFA.
9. Go back to the gym.

 

Dam, just realize i got more things to talk about.

 

Went to a course yesterday, in Reuters Sydney Office. I'm a big fan of Reuters and i use it basically whenever i'm at work. Considering the fact that it cost 4k a month for that one line access, makes me feel bargained when i get to use it for free, although i only really need it for 30 minutes.

 

Bumped into an uni class mate on msn. She worked at Citi as well. Said hi today. Been up-sale about investment ideas. Going to research into it.

 

Although i seriously doubt i can squeez out 10k by the end of the month to meet the deadline==

 

Friend's Girlfriend, i mean, FRIEND, got another interview with my department tomorrow. Very, seriously, extremely, finger crossed. Thanks to Helen's award, my HR business is going good.

 

Complicated office politix happening all around, don't want to take part of it, starting to get used to the action. Now days, i can have a shit day and leave it at work. Well, now you see why marriage isn't such bad idea after all.

 

I do want to apologise to all those people i pissed-off over the years through direct or indirect conversations about them. After all, i'll conclude that i always want to say things that i'm not suppose to say. Given what has happened lately, i'm starting to beleive that the reversed bone on the back of my head really mean something.

 

I've learned alot lately, very happy to be able to use proper jargons like DV01, delta, theta, while actually knowing what i'm talking about.

Alright, i can see the sun. It's not a good sign. I shall go to sleep, hoping that i'm still awake to send my end of day reports.

 

ZZZZzzzZzzzZZzzZzzZzzzZzzzzzzzZZzzzZZzzzZzZzZZ.... 

 这个星期真是莫名其妙的可怕。

 

星期一，公司主要电脑系统完全停止。只有我们部门留下等到3点多，其他部门似乎因为没有等，所以百分之八十的PAYMENT都没交。

 

星期二，沉迷于星期一的系统恐慌状态。

 

星期三，运动，结果全身疼痛。

 

星期四，发现原来一年多来，中国的交易估价都是完全错误的==

 

星期五，OUTLOOK死了。用了一天时间，等它LOAD。

 

哦，ASX Equity Settlement System was down for one hour, this push AUD to drop 4 cents in one hour, reaching 0.75 US cent, bear in mind, it was close to 0.85 opening yesterday.

 

可怕的，回家以后，深夜挂了电话以后，去了厕所。回来发现电脑完全空白。

 

简直是恐怖的诅咒！！！

 

是完全空白，连显示器都关了。

 

然后再也进不了WINDOWS。 从新安装时，又因为安装盘已经完全花了，在电脑前面LOAD了两个小时。

 

最后本来打算放弃的时候，完全被FORMAT掉的系统居然又什么事情都没有的回到了正常！！！！！！！！！！！

 

什么世界啊，完全不让我睡觉嘛！

 

已经开始怀疑什么是现实和幻想了。

 

反正，以后不会开着电脑上厕所了......

Being a pessemist, i always see the darker side of the picture. Especially when things doesn't look too bright to begin with. 

 

This is a serious blog in regards to the global economy.

 

Since Friday, the finance market has gone berserk...

 

Subprime Meltdown is the term. Mortgage and financial institutions world wide have engaged in the high risk lending business in the recent decade. Providing funds to people with a low credit rating and in return receive above market return. Due to the highly deregulated nature of the sector, investors is demanding more and more as they becoming aware of the potential risk involved. This have thus force alot of borrowers into voluntary default.

 

Ergh, forget it, i'm not gonna write an essay on crap like this after work. Let me get to the point.

 

Economy will go down. BNP cease it's 14 billion euro investment in US since the extremely low liquidity which made these subprime bonds almost impossible to be revaluated. Then Goldman, Bear Sterning, Deutsche... Citi also lost 700 million.

 

You see European reserve bank pumping billions into the market, so did the american federal bank.

 

This drop the overnight rate of EUR and USD down 100 basis in just one night.

 

AUD, drop 40 basis today. RAMs home loan is close to going down, being one of the major mortgage provider of australia, this will really hit the economy hard.

 

Looking at the bar chart, we're at the peak of peak, almost ASX all ordinaries were almost 3 times higher then the peak prior to the depression in 87, twice as higher than depression in 97....

 

If you ever consider getting a home loan at this time, play it safe....

今天碰上了一个失散多年的小学同学，似乎是唯一还有印象的一个吧。

 

原来世界上很多东西都只是"a Google away"。前提是得个特别的名字，或者个人成就==

 

很震撼的发现小学同学居然要和另外一个小学同学结婚，虽然怎么听都像一时冲动，可是还是挺让人感慨的。I suppose i'm in no place to talk-_-' i said that alot lately==

 

 和同学说话的时候，忽然大脑一片空白，然后很多片段闪过。对，好像死前那种倒带的感觉。上次回国到现在已经快七年了，时间过得好快啊。看看当时的自己(相片区最不一样拿张)，考虑一下当时的心境。这七年可以说是翻天覆地吧。

 

从每天唱K改成回家弹琴，然后瘫在家里过了两年半的大学假期(最后半年补课==)。乐队，女友，复杂的人际关系，魔兽，工作，车子，生活的态度，犹豫而扭曲的性格。好像一切都发生在这7年里...

 

最近又开始音乐，弄了一整天，左手好像刚刚停止工作了。

 

星期一要开始健康生活，为此我买了水果。哦最近喜欢吃桔子，因为公司很多，而且没人吃。还开始了不拨皮吃KIWI FRUIT的习惯。

 

最近心情很好，很好。

 

工作也一个星期没什么大事。发现除了IT，现在和INVESTIGATION的关系发展起来了。最近自己弄错的事情，都很自然的被归类为SYSTEM ERROR，RPC真是个讲义气的地方。

 

既然已经不能弹吉它，睡觉吧。

 

PS 经理说, What can you rap about?

Screw you all, i'm gonna blog about work. Why does Helen get to blog about work and no one tell her off and i can't do the same =P

 

Anyway...

 

This is such emotional time of the year, alot of people come and go. Went to that many farewell to the extend that everytime i came out of one, i have a smoke and think about my farewell speech, and it's pretty much all done by now.

 

Would be funny tho, i guess if i have a farewell tomorrow, half of the people show up will be from IT==

 

Sometimes i feel like i'm getting pay to study. I mean you hang around, do random things and at the end get your resume fill up. Some graduates, others repeat the course, it's a cruel world.

 

I got to say i've learn alot of people at work. I owe alot of respect to them.

 

First 3 months of my job, i look up to Roy. He's the person i want to be. The fastest data entry machine, knows all Reuters pages, helps you with every random thing you ask him to do. The next 3 months, i look up to my manager and crammed hard into Office Politx 1001. It's easy to workout settlement figures, why india have a holiday on end of financial year, why New York does not celebrate easter, but it takes years to understand how you can survive at work and slowly walk your way up. Now, all i want to be is the other manager. He's an encyclepedia. I'll never figure out what DV01 delta is without him.

 

On the other hand, there're always geniune (#*$)(#$)*(#$*&)#$*U)#$( around. Well, most of them came from the other side.

 

Anyway don't feel like bloggin anymore.

又一个周末过去了，昨晚这个时候就已经有了这种感叹。时间过得好快，特别是周末。 

 

星期五总不原因睡觉，星期六一天游荡，星期天，好像就是休息的日子吧。

 

朋友混到了工作，似乎会发生很多有趣的事情，看来以后得多过去INVESTIGATION那边晃晃。

 

最近忽然感觉到了贫困的压力，最近好像老乱花钱，花习惯了，忽然把钱都给了我妈，然后开始翻箱倒箧的找剩下的钱。本来百来块钱好像挺足够的，现在忽然觉得，好像一下子就花了，得开始节制一下了。

 

最近开始弹吉它，发现走了一圈，吉它还是最好的，生活又有点色彩了。

 

看了两部电影。往往身边的人都会发表负面评论，然后看完电影以后都会觉得，哦，原来也不坏。最近收到了两个好得夸张的评论，决定坐下来看完它，于是看了1408，和SIMPSONS。

 

感觉，SIMPSON，跟电视没什么区别，电影只是一个形式吧。不过再怎么说，还是很可爱的喜剧，可能因为自己与时代的脱节，还是已经习惯了那类型的幽默，觉得，有种，看了就看了的感觉。

 

1408，又是被严重夸张喧耀过的电影。感觉就很普通的美国片，没什么特点。还好没有那里冒出只鬼还是什么尸体之类的，所以还有点新意。结局是在是太垃圾了，让人一直期待的很多可能性，最后也是被随便的结束。不过看了以后到真有种想去那样的房间里面住一下的想法。毕竟，我是一个很喜欢SELF REFLECTION的人。

 

最后，近来办公室里很多人对我的表情有看法。认为我有很多古怪的表情。我一直以为自己和个很木讷的人呢==。。。

 好久没玩了，上来晃晃...

 

 

 

顺便看看有多少人来看我BLOG...
