Oooh. Good news. One of my best friends is about4 months pregnant and she has tentatively asked me to be the godfather. Ooooh. It means I am growing old. It means a big angpow for the baby. I am not even sure if she is joking. Lol. But yes. Good news anyway.

Bad news. Stupid blogger sometimes does not load ! Again ! So...that explains my lengthy absence. Yes. My lengthy absence is an absence of above 3 days, unlike some people who are hard hearted enough to leave their blogs alone for a few weeks or even months. I even know someone who makes yearly posts. *Faints.

Did not do much on the weekend at all...........except for a vist to the market and a lot of studying. I guess you could call it one of my quieter weekends.

One cause of that could be the fact that I was at JinBear's barbeque without a barbeque party the night before. It was more like a wine and grill party. Which was plenty of fun, except the name was not technically correct. The funniest part of it all was realising that at one point, the guests there came from a multitude of different banks, and it was almost as if, that the industry to be in at the moment, was to be in a bank. Interesting, really. Perhaps a tad narrow minded as well, because I myself could never have imagined myself working for another industry. In a way, this could be detrimental as it means that I cannot really look at the outside world, but at the same time, I guess you could say that I know what I want, and work towards it... Bleh.

My trip to Korea has finally been confirmed and I will be leaving on the 29th of March. That is an important date. Another important date to note would be the 14th of April. That is when the menu of all my job choices is published, and I will start agonising over which country I would like to be in, and in what department, and where are my friends going to be in, and where are others applying to, and who my competitors are...and so on and so forth. It is going to be tough. While I am still extremely excited about working overseas, I guess sometimes one has to think about the family as well. It is almost deja vu, similar to the situation 5 years ago, when I left Malaysia on my own to study overseas. Loads of reluctance for me to go.....but I have to persist in pursuing my dreams I guess. I console myself with the thoughts that someday I will be back.... Not a very consoling thought I admit, but better than nothing.

I received another MBA offer today, from CASS University in London. Very tempting. And their MBA is an intensive 1 year version, with four semesters, including potentially overseas exchanges for a few months. Very very tempting indeed. But again, I am loathe to leave my career at the moment, with so many new and exciting things happening that I suppose I would have to postpone my MBA dreams for a couple more years, perhaps for 5 years ? I guess in the meantime, I still have to complete my CFA, and of course get proper and official certifications for my FRM. Busy Busy Busy.

Really looking forward to the long weekend. While Malaysians get Thursday off, as I am still following the holidays of Hong Kong, I am looking forward to holidays for Good Friday and Easter Monday ! Hurray ! Super long weekend. Can be used to catch up on some dusty friendships or tens of pages of CFA material. Hahaha. I guess there is enough time to do both. But woohoo !! Let me know if you feel like meeting up, for coffee, or food, or mahjong, or karaoke, spa session ...so on...... FINE....badminton...also can... HAHAHA....

Ah. Feels good to blog. I just like to type out my thoughts. Feels much neater, than keeping them all cramped up in my small brain. Although, currently (as of blogging time) I am still ranked first among my friends on "Who has the biggest Brain ?" on facebook.

Challenge me.
