Happy new year!
New Year's eve fell on a Sat and I lost a half day off that we typically have if it were a weekday. So our month end closing was Friday and I worked till pass midnight chatting with my colleagues in London and Singapore. This is to give the uninitiated some clue of the reality of working life. Ha-ha welcome to the club, soon or in future.
Fridays are also workout days for me. It started at 7:25 am (some days when I can get up earlier, 7:00am) in the office gym; 15 mins on the treadmill to clock 2.6 km and 3 mins recovery where my heartbeat dropped from 163 to 133. U can figure out my speed. Ha-ha. Then to the machines for my back, stomach and thigh workouts. Shower and then light breakfast with my 2 colleagues where we would discuss office matters, politics or spiritual issues. They are mostly non-believers.
Then I have a daily 9:00 am meeting to catch. Meeting to re-cap overnight market news and events usually ends around 9:30 am. It's email and newspapers time thereafter. 4 newspapers to browse thru quickly and many emails to delete.
The rest are secret....hee hee.
I also work out on Mondays and Wednesday. More next time.
Ok since its new year, thot I share a little. 2005 had been difficult with many challenges. However I am reminded to think about the blessings that were also there. One such blessing was getting a new car with the lowest COE in the year and the lowest price that the car was sold for. Ha ha I really enjoy dee car. Was caught in car fiddling with the gadgets at curb side of Serangoon Way by Yax, Belle and a host of TMs.
New Year's Eve, went with family to Esplanade to catch the atmosphere and 2 free-shows b4 having dinner at the Waterfront. We didn't run into Yax and Belle who were also there with 4 others. Home for countdown. There with already more than 15 TMs who stayed into the New Year.
