hello people...

Haven't updated this space in a while.... for those who do not already know, I'm in NIE. yes. I'm going to be a teacher. a primary school teacher to be exact.

I do have some comments abt me joining the teaching force initially. some friends commented i was "wasting" my diploma in banking.... erh... its their problem if they see it that way, but yea... i don't see myself wasting it. At least i have the knowledge and know the fundamentals of how the market works and the different investing tools.... and plus, frens from the same course didnt stay for long in the finance industry..... all i can say is in this bearish market, it so difficult to get good jobs that pays well and one that you can retain because someone can offer the same services for a cheaper price and u are out.

And can u imagine me doing an office job??? super mundane! like i am a robot in a factory or something...

hahaha... those are just my opinions.. if u dun like it, thats your problem.

hey pple. sorry that i've been MIA-ing for a very long time. anyway, just completed the half marathon last weekend. and to be frank, age is really catching up on us. hahahaha.. gg to downgrade to 10km run next year. at least can finish fast too. hahaha.

oh.. and i have a dog! hahahha.. its a JRT. cute and all.. love to nibble on our toes and pee indiscriminately. hahaha. she belongs to my sis but i always clean the shit. -_- anyway, her name's Cash and she gg to be 5mths old on the 12th.

In Mongolian culture, when the statue of a person riding a horse has all 4 legs down, it means the person died a natural death; 3 legs down means died of sickness and 2 legs down means died in the war...
