*stressed*

stressed right now due to the end of year looming and the sales target is still there. will keep on working towards that goal, day by day, week by week, month by month. its only 99 more days to the end of the year so chiong ah!!

been having a lot of ups and downs for the past 2 months ever since returning full time to the career of financial planning. knowing how much this line can impact other people's lives as always been my drive ever since losing my father 3 years ago. I still miss you dad, and I hope that your blessings are upon me as I progress on this career path.

as roland shared, this career isn't a career that you enter to try, because it is the career that tests you eventually.

There have been so many changes in my life and it has been quite a whirl to me. so many things to learn, to improve and work on, to become a professional financial planner as well as to become a better person.

Things to work on:
writing down my thoughts, good or bad
better diction
better disposition
better presentations

With these in mind to keep on working upon, it is my goal to become successful, not just in my personal life but as well as eventually become a leader and pillar of the organization. It isn't an easy path and there will be some battles which will be lost along the way. However, it isn't over until the war is over, so jia you!

would appreciate honest feedback from anyone so that I can continue to improve and become a better person for myself, for friends and family and most importantly, for God.

hope everyone who reads this post is still well. take care and God Bless.

ps: i really miss you...

Music to your ears, anyone?

take a watch and this demonstrates the power of the human mind and "music"

work life

heys everyone, it has been a long time since i've updated here.
went to china and settled what i needed to settle there, went to london/paris for a grad trip (thanks sis! will pay you back soon)

also became a vomit machine for a month when i couldn't stomach food in and eventually found out that it was a stomach inflammation. on the good side, i'm much better now! but I still have to take care in what I have to eat, and i'm really enjoying my time back together with the organization and running for my goals.

update, i'm now fully into my job as a financial consultant!

Thank God for the blessing that You have showered upon me to help me clear my sprint and receive the extra bonus.

Bonus will go to further donations to charity, treating my mommy and sister and got a bear bear for dear. ^^

things have been really hectic these days so please call me to find me!

ps: I forgot to go for my commencement. lol.. besides, i don't want to wear pink!!

Day 3, Beijing

Woke up at 6+ am today to another bright and sunny day, went for breakfast and we started on our tour today at 8am.

toured the forbidden palace, tian an men square, si he wu and ended the tours for the day.

will update photos because I finally got to buy a SD card which we forgot to bring along. and today being a work day, the places were comparatively empty. could you imagine them when packed?

China Day 2, Beijing

Left for the airport at 6am, woke up at 5am for the ride to the airport. Had McDonalds for breakfast to the amusement of finding out that their sausage McMuffins were made with pork patties. Reached the airport at 6.30am and was greeted with a rather empty Shanghai airport. Checking the E-tickets again, I realized that my mom had read the time wrongly. Instead of a 0855 flight, we had assumed it was a 0800 flight and we lost one hour of extra sleep time. As it was still early, the shops were still closed and there was nothing to do except to sit around and chat to pass the time. During check-in, there was a group of people presumably from the countryside who cut queues as well as a lady squatting down to apply her makeup. The check-in process was done rather quickly with minimal hassle. On the good side, I managed to find free wireless internet access! Hurray! Managed to check my emails and send out a few more as well. To someone: don’t be sad, I’ll be back soon! Flight was delayed as there was someone who did not board the plane in time and I think we missed the slot allocated initially for the flight and had to re-queue for the next available slot to take off. The flight was delayed for an hour and we departed Shanghai for Beijing at around 10am. Arrived at Beijing at around 12pm, cleared through customs in a breeze! No temperature checks at all so it was really fast. Went to see the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube, saw the exterior of the 7 Star hotel which Bill Gates booked for 1 billion yuan for Olympics. Definitely cool! Nothing much in the stadium though, and the place had people smoking on the seats. So much for preserving the stadium. Went to the hotel after that to rest up, went for a super quick dinner and watched an acrobatic show at the Tian Qiao Zha Ji Yuan and returned to the hotel to rest.
