It has been a long journey since my last entry. Many things have happened, of course good things i should say. I was hooked on this MTV when i was blogging this entry.. probably share it with you guys...
Frankly speaking, never in my life have i imagined myself that i will be a financial planner one day. However, it always has to start with life changing situations that will bring us to somewhere else.
Don’t get me wrong, nothing happened to me but it was to someone whom is very close to me. I had my mentality changed. We can't change external to suit us but we can change ourselves to suit the external.
Starting out isn’t easy at all. Trust me, I had my fair share of emotions roller coaster.
After letting people know you are in this line will result to 2 different reactions. One, provides u with support. Two, see me machiam like see cockroach, run away...
However, im soooo thankful for friends who stood by me and giving me that opportunity to serve you. In the midst of all the emotions, i stood out even stronger and within 3 months, i achieved more than what i used to have when i was in my previous company. Not to mention my share of BONUS...
I joined a great agency. With excellent mentoring and most importantly, great colleagues. No politics.. just pure fun and hard work together..
My motivations will continue to spur me on.
Future Family Time :I am a woman and somehow family time is very important to me. Recent events of my grandma being hospitalised made me realised how much control i can have with my time. No longer i have to withstand gossips of going off at “own time” or “taking wkg time for granted”. Not only that, i want to be able to spend time with kids in future. I recently heard about a couple whom has their kid taken care of by a maid. The kid ended up being close to the maid instead of the parents. Quite sad rite??
Source of Income : Passive income is something which im working towards. Being able to set my own holidays and rules and still being able to have a steady source of income. No longer do i have to limit myself to 14 days AL and thereafter NO-PAY LEAVE....
Reaching out to people : Im no angel for sure but to be able to reach out to people and eventually for people to benefit from what i do. Little words but heartfelt.

And .... Im getting married....!
Still trying to get this fact sink into me... I still can’t believe it..
Date is set. Just need to confirm a few more stuffs before officialising it.
It will be in XX XXX 2010...
Preparations just started and yes... everything else is coming in as well...
I watched Bride Wars and the wedding planner did say. It is through the wedding planning where you get to know your partner even more.....
Agreed, wedding is a one’s once in a lifetime event, who doesn’t wants it to be perfect? Not only the girl wants it too, it is the guy’s big day too isn’t it??
Vincent, my mentor, volunteered to be my wedding planner. Can you believe that?? I never had a manager who will offer to help at such big events...
Anyway, kudos to my mom who said this,” Aiyah, u both go honeymoon and throw a small quaint dinner for family can liao. Then all the $ can spend to go far far away.”
That’s ideal but of course, my SO is the eldest son and eldest son in Chinese families are regarded as the “important” status....
Started on the invitees list, hoo boy.. when my SO dug into the family tree, we realised that the no of tables needed may hit 60 tables... Now we are in progress if we should hold it at 2 different venues to reduce unnecessary costs. Well, so much for the start of the planning..
Planning for a wedding.... challenging but it will be worth it. _________________________________________________
2009 will be my year.
Despite of all the negativity out there, how you want this year to go really depends on yourself. I have seen the other side of all these negativity. The Bright Side..
Reports shows retrenchment but my newly acquired corporate client is hiring..
No bonus? Pay Cut?. My bonus is secured as long as i continue to work and I am the one who determines my pay and no one else.
Sick and tired of working my heads off and all you get is a pat on the back and a “well done” with No pay raise... even if they grant you a pay raise, your work load doubles....*shake head*
Now that i have set things in place, its time charge forward at full steam... woohoo...
2009... a great year ahead...
