Hello, work week number 5 is over. And i am loving my job more than ever. its been quite tiring, having to work until 2am on wednesday and having to attand 9am financial training sessions on thurs. we barely slept for 3 hours and not surprising we sat at the back of the class and slept thru it. my boss decided on a new counterparty split and has given me more difficult counterparties to take on. So now, I am in charge of, - JPMorgan Chase Bank New York - The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) - ABN Amro Bank - Morgan Stanley Huge investments banks that located wayy off singapore. so happy tat boss feels I am up to such a task. Satisfation yes, but extremely busy. But I still thankful, that at just merely 20 years of age, here i am, competing with the rest who are wayy older than I am, and being to be able to stand strong in what i believe in. and doing what I love. Yesterday I went to the UOB near my office, cos all the colleagues wanted to apply for CreditCards. I wanted the UOB Lady's Platinum Card. But the minimum age requirement is 21. hence, Dalph asked the lady at the counter. *pointing at me* She is only 20, but her annual income is more than the required 50k per annum. Can she apply? now, which part of that question sounds abnormal? cant a 20 year old earn more than 5ok a year? anything wrong with that? because the customer at the next counter who was applying for her own CC, looked up and showed me a very digusted face. The rest laughed probably that lady who was applying (looked like in her late 20's) was earning only around 30k per annum which is the requirement for the most basic card. Jealous? probably. anyways, I cant apply. she said I could try but most probably It will be rejected cos I am still a minor in eyes of the law. Fuck. I am earning as much as the other whom the banks give 6 CCs to. =( for once it sux to be young. oh well not that bother too. I'm making so much investment plans that I can never phantom. I'm starting to talk abt savings and planning to save. For a start I am planning to save 1250 a month, (not a very large figure, but its practical) and lets see where I am at one year from now. I just cant wait to turn 21 next year. then i can buy shares and apply for CC. but until then, I am saving for my capital to start investing. I'm looking forward to N'day with him fireworks at the meeting room in the office! thank you for sacrificing a public holiday for me =) off to make Coffee pretty =) see you next weekends!
