A Busy Weekend

Posted by candymok on 31st July 2005

Most of you might know me in person, but some don’t. Anyway, it is cool to share how I have spent my weekend so that you could know me a little bit better. Let’s start!

July 30 (SAT) Rainy and Hot!

9-13 Worked in Hang Sing

13-14 Traffic Jam

14-16 Family time- Had tea with my parents in Pokka Restaurant.

16-18 Rahul’s play and clean time- He could run around my home in the blue ball.

18-23 Hung out with Ada Chau and Pearl- She bought gifts, but I bought none.

23-1 Online time- chatted with friends, read the news and Email.

July 31 (SUN) Heavy rain in the morning

9-13 Church time

13-14 Lunch- Birthday meal for Cola. He is getting more mature!

14-18 Beach… Alvin, Carol, Fai, Wai, Creamy played in the beach. So fun!

18-19 Got back home

19-21 Volleyball Practice

21-23 Late dinner with Volleyball teammate

23- Now Shower, clean up and online…

What do you think of my weekend? Isn’t it too packed? Honestly, it was not like this when I was in Seattle, WA. At this time, I would like to thank my Hong Kong friends because they have helped me so much on adjusting the lifestyle, hanging out, encouraging and loving me…  Without them, maybe I am still alone by myself every weekend under the four walls.

Got My First Hong Kong Checkbook

Posted by candymok on 30th July 2005

Yeah! I have received my first Hong Kong Checkbook by mail today. So happy! I feel like I am growing up to be one of the professional workers here. Although the rule of the check writing is slightly different than American, it should not be too difficult for me to learn. For the checkbook itself, it looks very serious and there is no personalization at all. I can’t choose Hello Kitty or Snoopy on the check face.

Stay Focus

Posted by candymok on 29th July 2005

What’s about my career? It has been Great so far. Gaining lots of experience to deal with clients and learning more technical skill about Printing and design. Personally, this job has taught me to be self-discipline, self- motivated, self- control, work independently, be mature, smart, do not lose hope and do not trust people easily. It is not easy one!

Well, it is the end of July. I will stay focus on building good client relationship and work on the clientele expansion.

Mutual Fund

Posted by candymok on 29th July 2005

I discussed my new saving plan with a banker during the lunchtime yesterday. Choosing a High Risk Mutual Fund might be a good option to push myself to save up more money for the future. Here was the example:

Pay:
US$500 X 36 Months = US$18,000

The Best Scenario: 15% Increase
US$18,000 X 1.15 = US$20,700

The Bad Scenario: 15% Decrease
US$18,000 X .85 = US$15,300

The Worst Scenario: Total loss
Gain nothing, but a lesson of Greediness.

Well, I am still thinking about it because what if Poly U accepts me as their part time student next week or a surprise…

Three Indian Clients in a row

Posted by candymok on 28th July 2005

Don’t know why! I have already met three Indian Clients in a row. It was wired… two of them were referred by my boss and one of them was found online. Anyway, I am not saying that I am a racist who is against non Chinese. However, the economics is blooming in India and their people are seting up trading companies overseas. Maybe I should start investing in the Mumbai stock exchange to make a living.

On the other hand, my mom has bought a few hand fans for her dancing class. I am glad she has found a few hobbies that she could make more friends.
