The passing of a Global Behemoth leader.

Close to 5 year since the passing of his wife, he finally managed to join her. Back then, I was gutted, when she passed on first, the one and only selfish ask of myself to my wife is, to let me go first. Men has no clue of how to live on, without their wives. Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2221747/Men-lose-wives-30-likely-die-early.html Year after year he showed up during our National Day parade and I sort of took it for granted that he had some elixir of life and will not pass for awhile more. He was warded the same night his son, our Prime Minister went for his surgery. The rest was history. Debates had been going on, people saying how much he had done for their lives, majority are sincere of course there were that small group of fake demeaning pricks who'd like I don't know what else to say. I'm a born and bred local Chinese Singaporean who went through the routes most average Singaporeans' sons and daughters went through, so I'm a...

The Banking World - Shijied™

Aged 7 I wanted to be football player and eventually play for Liverpool. Aged 13 I wanted to be an Air Force Pilot, protecting my country and my family. Aged 18 I wanted to be an Aeronautics Engineer because I couldn't get pass the pilot test. Aged 20 I wanted to be a Banker, to earn big bucks. From dreams to logical decision, these were my dreams and eventually it became my goal and slowly it became .... A huge change in major at aged 20, from Engineer I've decided to take on Accounts & Finance simply because that's where the money is (was). I retook a Diploma and then switch my major, switched jobs from Marcoms to Accounts and then Finance, after 7 long years I'm finally here, a Finance Associate with the 3rd largest Investment Banks by Asset. I'll tell you all what I've seen. 2015, All Hands on Deck meeting with the Managing Director of APAC ex India, 2nd most senior person on the floor. I was looking forward to this meeting as I'd really ...

2nd... if not the most important document I've ever endorse upon.

A man's home is his castle - Sir Edward Coke (pronounced Cook), in The Institutes of the Laws of England, 1628. Well the idea of a loft never really occur to me until Ms Tracy Ma pasted a photo of a massive unit that vaguely resembles the below, her question was "Do you like this house". Immediately i fell in love with the idea of having a bedroom on top, with the massive high ceiling, well she simply said "Nope, I hate huge houses, it felt empty". #wtf Since then I had a dream, a dream of owning my own studio apartment. 3 years on, while randomly crawling on the internet, I found this ! I registered my interest with an intent to find out how new home viewings are done and how condominiums are like these days but they were sold out, instead the agent introduce me to a location no one could resist, a freehold condo smack near Bukit Timah at Hillview Well, nothing seems to tick anything I like except the above, a top floor penthouse with my...

what if

What if you know of a very close friend who intends to murder someone and the only way you could stop him is to get him arrested. Not that his intentions were wrong but it's simply against the law, his marriage, his wife, his life is almost gone. What if getting him arrested, you saved him from the death penalty, you saved someone's else's life whom they will never thank you for and they are innocent by law and that your friend will be suffering worst then dying, rotting behind bars. What if?     What if you have a friend who is recovering from depression and needs your time because he doesn't have much friends, what if i gave him an hour a week and then 2 hrs a week and then 4 hours a week ... What if  he decides to kill himself, what if? Met a guy who doesn't live with his mother, from our conversation my guess is that he became rebelious because his mother doesn't think he is good enough. Since when honest living isn't good enough, do we all h...

Growing up

The best Anime of my time, Rurouni Kenshin, also known as Samurai-X. Swordsmanship animations were uniquely classy, depicting the troubled times in Meiji history. The story line was simply out of this world, with the invasion of Kyoto the climax of the whole animation for me. Today I had the privilege of inviting the douchebag that introduced this animation to me, Mr Chong Yong Qi. We never really started off on the right foot, he was a typical boy school "ang moh" punk and I'm your neighbourhood "ching cheong" ah beng. Somehow I do not recall why and how we got this close,  for reals. Anyways, while waiting for Mr Chong, i was wondering around Marina Square mall, to my surprise, there was a huge cosplay event going on at the main atrium.You could see all the amazing make-ups, hair-dye, props and costume worn, absolutely out of this world. I'm glad the community is going strong, "Otakus" or "Geeks" are not taken very well locally, ...
  #nuffsaid Work has been crazy, but I've not giving into the crazy hours on "off-peak". It's really a chore managing people up there who are filled with their own personal agendas. Done with corporate ladder, at least for now, just gonna sit tight and enjoy the ride. Recently had a chat with the Dean who was trying to kick me out of school, reason being I'm taking too long with my degree. The truth is, she's merely trying to get me out so that she can get premium paying foreign students in, I'm merely wasting space. #GreedIsGood Been investing in LEGOs but I guess our time is up, Amazon stop shipment of LEGOs to Singapore, there goes my plan Taiwan trip planning is almost done, my Diploma fees are fully paid, 100% debt free, for now. I need to be cash rich but so much plans ahead ahaha! Priority would be Toronto but the flights are crazy, 26hrs... makes me dizzy. Tokyo is next, I need to reach the nerd-promise-land Akibahara ...

Another 2 years #WeGoAgain

The Barclays Premier League, often term the EPL/BPL, previously known as the English Premier League has come to a close. Liverpool came in first! runner up, ie. 2nd. Gutted? I was, truly, we were so close and we lost it. Henderson's straight red meant Manager Rogers would field his pet Allen who often does nothing, isn't technically gifted nor have flair like Coutinho nor is he as solid and tenacious like Henderson. That was the reason why we lost to Chelsea, we ain't fluid enough, and how we drew Palace when we should be hitting 10 goals past them. Final game vs Newcastle, we were 0 - 1 down at HT at HOME,  you could see that we are moving the ball around yes? Aimlessly too. Upon Allen's departure with Coutinho's introduction, we became a totally different team, needless to say we got the game back 2 - 1. It was a magical season considering we were 7th only last season. #FormIsTemporaryClassIsPermenent , we will come back stronger. Got to love being ...
