5 years in Citi

It's official, we are in the bear market... I doubt people in the main street felt it... Exactly like 3 years ago... Retrenchments are going on secretly and silently....we are always the "forerunner" being more sensitive to the market.. The last recession was fast, guess it only lasted about half a year before market came back again... That was then.. When the Federal reserve has the power to launch QE, to print unlimited amount of money.... It was a different story now... With the leading developed countries in terrible debt situations, it would be difficult to "save" the economy like before.. US, Japan, European countries etc are running endless deficits............

Only 5 years in Citi, 8 years in the industry can witness so unprecedented market swings... Q4- last quarter!!! Got to be very focused!!! haven clear my compliance leave and still planning a last business trip for the year, hopefully.. its not going to be easy, but got to get the carrot!! It will be horrible to miss the last lap... too bad i cant go for business trip this month, have been "zhuo-bo" for at least 3 weeks liao.... if only we can run the last Q target earlier...

Time to tighten our belt again.. so glad that we do not have any big items to spend going forward... Next year shall be a "resting" year for me... so said alot of my other colleagues, all anticipating a resting year next year.... hahaaa.. May the currency market be with me for the last quarter... Jiayou!!!!!!!!!

dreaming...

wishing.. hoping.. dreaming of....

Fast Forward

Can i press the fast forward button to fast forward to April 2012 pleaseeeee??

Our darling is gonna celebrate his 3rd birthday this friday in school as well as with immediate family members and hall friends/jiemeis of daddy and mummy this coming saturday... He is so excited about his birthday party and it's so cute & heartwarming to see him picking his party items for his party! hahaa.. My boy has really grown up.......
