Hi everyone,
it has been so long i blogged that i do not remember my password, luckily i was smart enough to save it in an email. So much things have happened over the past year. As you can see the last entry was made whilst i was still in Netherlands. After one year, i still miss Netherlands so much other than the fact that i was spending too much money.
So this is what i did since then:
December 2006
Continued my class with Computing. In the end i failed my exams but the prof still passed me because he thought that i put in enough effort. YAY! After school term ended, i went traveling with the NTU people. Kinda weird because i used to hate NTU so much? But i really had tons of fun with them!
January – April 2007
Took the following courses, Strategy, Analysis of Derivatives, IE and CR. Wah, nearly died but i cant be bothered to type anything with regards to academic matters. I graduated with a cummulative GPA of 3.2, a huge difference from the 3.7+ which i had in year 1. But i do not care.
April – August 2007
I did an internship at DBS Vickers Securities (S) Pte Ltd. I interned as a client services officer at its contact centre. I answer calls as well as getting scolded everyday by customers who lost money trading. But i gain a really good insight of what is happening in the financial industry and cultivated an interest trading. Stress! everyday because i have to answer a lot queries and screams liked, “HOW MUCH IS MY CONTRA LOSS!!! TELL ME NOW!”
Special mention in July
Went to commencement and organized the Graduation Night – Nostalgia 2007. Had a great time at both events.
August – December 2007
Go back to army. Nothing much. Waste time as usual. Duty here and there. After that start finding work to do. Helped out with family business before starting to work.
January – present
Working as a lowly paid dealer who kinda got bored at work today and decided to blog. Haha.. I like my job a lot cause i get to see screens of numbers.
Okie i shall go back to work le!
bye
regards, fordy lai 2008
