Hunger

At 23 I really wanted to get into a Bank, a job was offered, I did not dare to fight for it, regret much. 25 years old another opportunity came, I fought like my life depends on it. My life really depended on that opportunity then and got it. 31, another opportunity came along, a front office job, a dream for most boys after pilot but...  I was not excited ... at all. Today, finally sat down with the hiring manager to talk about the role, the prerequisites and money over lunch. It's been a very very long time since I've had a business lunch, even though we knew each other, it was still very very ... awkward? After everything I was told to give some thoughts about it... this opportunity is at the worlds number 1 private wealth bank's front office with state of the art technological system and a mentor that is positive, embraces change, walk the talk and in a fairly powerful position. I took the rest of the day off since the system was down and I just needed think ...

Turning point . . .

As i was admiring my 65" OLED TV from my full calf leather sofa and about to watch my darling So-Hyun, Patrick called. We were going on about his bae, his trip, the traffic and then a voice call came and he got cut off. "Caron Lim" is calling, i sense something ominous going on. She rarely calls, not at this hour. 10mins and 12 seconds was the duration, felt like 12 seconds, I couldn't comprehend why it was 10mins, certainly didn't felt like it. Prior to this call, she asked if I'd wanna move from my current position to help Aileen at UBS front office, I flatly turn her down and she told me to offer her a price, I did and at 40% of my current drawn and I told her it's crazy money for someone like me who has no education and no relevant experience. So today she called and told me that Aileen's been bugging her about why am I not responding, Caron told her to give me figures so that I can or rather hahhaha she can help me take a loo...

Words can't say ....

My 1st Home.

I've collected my keys and currently going thru defect check and correction and I am and will move in officially on 7th Jan 2018. Well the date is based on an astrologist or fortune teller whom our family visits on a yearly basis and things were not exactly good from the start. The direction of the main door clashes with my element, as well as the location element, my bath and toilets are in really bad locations and my good elements are "cut" away due to the balcony and ac ledge. BUT !!! as she went on about how to counteract the bad omens and further explain what good elements i lost, i became much assured that this is the PERFECT HOME !!! Assuming the counters work, the chunk taken away from me are, Power and Love. WHICH AT THIS STAGE ARE NOT MY NEEDS OR WANTS !!!! The main bulk of the good elements which still remains are on wealth, career and health WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY what i need to focus right now *HIP HIP HURRAY* Things i've bought so far.  Cast...

19 months . . .

We had a chat a few months before I left for Toronto, on expectations of  us and then we decided it's quite impossible. It became fun or interesting because we've never actually met people from such different world and characters that we became interested with each other. The reason we would never have "made it", on her point's mainly her spending habits, ex bf spends 100ks a day so even on her most reserved spending months would be beyond my salary. It'd really cooped her up to go back to being "normal". Her tempers were also fairly princessy though I've never seen it and she did insist that it took a lot for her to control herself. **disclaimer, the only gift I've ever bought was a pair of sneakers. She has never really allow me to spend my money on her. For me it's more of being from a very Asian Chinese family, the 3 aunties 6 grannies would be badmouthing my wife just because she's from China and I would definitely not sit ...

梦想,理想 // dreams, aspirations . . .

As i aged, i understand how the world functions, the more you know, the more afraid you become, then you become like them and then you try to wrestle with your subconscious against the foundation of your own values and beliefs. You will eventually come to a crossroads where you have to choose, your dreams vs being success   Well the whole world knew what I chose, definitely the latter. Maybe partly influenced by the reason we broke up, I was deem a unmotivated and someone who lacks ambition, you never said it but I could tell. Maybe then that was why I chose money, of course having a Dad struggling to pay his own bills and only relying on my mother's savings had a huge part to play on my decision but hey... we are all given choices so do not put any blame on circumstances or lack of support but yourself. On a hot and lazy Friday afternoon, I had tea-break with my new work buddy, boss call in sick so I'm on my own and I queried on his route to where his is t...

neverland ~~

The crazy hectic pre/post neverland are finally over, and I can look forward to a chillax Nov/Dec, I hope. Still wonder how i did it prior to neverland, easily 12 - 15 hrs a day + weekends, freaking madness BUT 100% worth it!!! It's been awhile since I'm in video arcade, we rarely have these here now, everyone's on PS4 or Phone or PC gaming these days. Prince is having so so much fun but the epic highlight was Sunny losing his phone hahahahhaha !!! And yes yes the first time I felt food wasn't up to par, bad selection by both of us #LOL  Vaughn Mills, my favorite place, all the time hahahha!! Eventually we ate at my number 1 on the list in Ontario, Pho Con Bo ~ "Probably the best pho in the world", I really need to have this to soothe my stomach after the long and demanding flight. My first time vaping, was actually really fun, obviously lacking the kick sticks have but the after taste rocks. My silly mom and some friends thought I was...
