Finally can update about our preview to PBB on Monday. It was great!!!! I have to admit tat I really nervous and scared and I can feel my smile was soooooo "fake". Hahahh.... Eventually I nearly miss out the steps. =D
Anyway, it is a very good experience and I think he is quite satisfy with our performance and I can feel he has a bit of impressed of what we are showing him. Well, at least he didn't ask us to repeat the dance again. He just said, "Okay, I heard that you all have just started to train about 1 and a half month, so I think it's not too bad. You all just have to brush up some movements, be confident on your step and your facial expression."
You don't know how relieve I am after hearing wat he said!!! That was like, thank god for everything!! However I'm getting nervous n nervous now as the AAN is on next Thursday!!!! That means we only have 6 more days to go!!!
As usual, not much to talk about in regards of work... Just a boring job. Going to prepare for more new funds soon so it's kinda peak after the AAN (I think). Email has been shoot out, I'm going to be in charge of 6 new funds this time, which is expected to be submitted by June. YES!!!! By June!!! What a life!!!
Ehm... I'm still thinking to take or not to take CFA. Not sure whether it will help me in Corporate Finance in the future. I really wanted to achieve something in my career. I have been wasting so much time waiting for something that I personally also don't know will succeed or not. I am afraid the more I move forward, the distance between me n SY will be more!!! How I wish I will be able let everything down, put my dreams behind and become his lovely wife for the rest of my life... But I cant.... I am not willing to forgo my dreams yet!!! I think not until I achieve something in my career, I wont get married. This is my principle and I have to be firm on it. How am I going to explain with SY? I dont believe in marriage coz I came from a broken family!!! My mum brought me up, gave me education, earn money for my college and university. My dad... is a lazy, smoker, gambler, never take care of us. My memory with my dad only until my primary school where he rewarded me for my excellent results. But he never educate me. he never taught me how to be independent, how to think, never explain why i need to be educated...etc...
My mum, on the other hand, worked from morning till evening just to earn the RM80 p.day, 6 days a week, no public holiday, no OT claim in order to support my living expenses in KL. I knew how hard my mum earn her living. She travel 30-40km a day thru and fall on her bike to Ipoh because the paid is higher and more projects to do. I can still remember there was one nice evening I saw my mum coming home with wounds on her hands and legs, bloods on her shirt and pants. A lorry overtaked her and made her fall on the ground. She slide few metres away. I cannot imagine if any other worse scenario happened!!! I really cant imagine.... Luckily she is still conscious and just suffered minor injuries. And there is this kind man brought her and her bike back. You think painting is easy? Try to paint your ceiling for a day!! I guarantee you for the next one week you cant move your head!!! And that is what my mum do everyday. Have you ever saw your mum climbing on those high steel ladder next to those construction buildings?? I did... since I was in Primary 4!!!
Relatives looks down on you because you only live in a small papan house, you dont drive a car, you dont have smart children scoring all As in their exams and etc... Never thought of this thing will happen??? You're wrong!!! It happened on ME!!! I saw it, I experienced it, I taste it!!! Never too good to accept!!
I learnt to be independent, I learnt to believe in myself, to protect myself and to take care of myself!!! All this by my own and I am happy with what I have achieved now!! I want more achievement!! I want money, power and pride!!!
I am not going to give up by all means!!!

THE SILENT TSUNAMI
Apr 17th 2008
Extracted from The Economist
Famine traditionally means mass starvation. The measures of today's crisis are misery and malnutrition. The middle classes in poor countries are giving up health care and cutting out meat so they can eat three meals a day. The middling poor, those on $2 a day, are pulling children from school and cutting back on vegetables so they can still afford rice. Those on $1 a day are cutting back on meat, vegetables and one or two meals, so they can afford one bowl. The desperate—those on 50 cents a day—face disaster.
Roughly a billion people live on $1 a day. If, on a conservative estimate, the cost of their food rises 20% (and in some places, it has risen a lot more), 100m people could be forced back to this level, the common measure of absolute poverty.
The starting-point should be that rising food prices bear more heavily on some places than others. Food exporters, and countries where farmers are self-sufficient, or net sellers, benefit. Some countries—those in West Africa which import their staples, or Bangladesh, with its huge numbers of landless labourers—risk ruin and civil strife. Because of the severity there, the first step must be to mend the holes in the world's safety net. That means financing the World Food Programme properly. The WFP is the world's largest distributor of food aid and its most important barrier between hungry people and starvation. Like a $1-a-day family in a developing country, its purchasing power has been slashed by the rising cost of grain. Merely to distribute the same amount of food as last year, the WFP needs—and should get—an extra $700m.
A burden to afford
Global food shortages have taken everyone by surprise. What is to be done?
“World agriculture has entered a new, unsustainable and politically risky period,” says Joachim von Braun, the head of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in Washington, DC. To prove it, food riots have erupted in countries all along the equator. In Haiti, protesters chanting “We're hungry” forced the prime minister to resign; 24 people were killed in riots in Cameroon; Egypt's president ordered the army to start baking bread; the Philippines made hoarding rice punishable by life imprisonment.
Last year wheat prices rose 77% and rice 16%. These were some of the sharpest rises in food prices ever. But this year the speed of change has accelerated. Since January, rice prices have soared 141%; the price of one variety of wheat shot up 25% in a day. Some 40km outside Abidjan, Mariam Kone, who grows sweet potatoes, okra and maize but feeds her family on imported rice, laments: “Rice is very expensive, but we don't know why.”

We keep on talking n talking, nope it should be she keep on talking, i keep on listening until I reached the carpark ticket machine where I was holding a shoebag on my left and the ticket and phone on my right hand. I was so overload that he saw me and HELPED ME TO VERIFY THE TICKET!!! Yes, he HELPED me!!! Hahahah.... I was so SHOCKED and HAPPY tat I can feel my own heartbeat and how I wish I could hang up the line immediately to talk to him! Tat moment was like the best time to start a conversation!!! Wat a waste!! Tats the chance to grab but I'm still on the line listening to the same old grandmother's story about her work n her arguement wif A & Y. Sigh...

22.04.2008, Tuesday, Happy and Sleepy
It's a FREE n EASY Tuesday!!! Just finished the MP yesterday, both the Mandarin and English version. Hah... Wat a busy Monday!! Never think of checking the Mandarin version as well coz *I'm not suppose to be the one in charge of it! We alrdy have tight deadline and luckily we started on our part early, else how can we manage to run thru 5 MPs in 2 days? We all were like fallen into a blackhole, helplessly! Imagine I only have 4 hours to check thru the whole MANDARIN MP which is ard 170 pages!!!! (@_@)" All of us were so nervous and anxious tat our heart also nearly broke down! Hahahah...
Anyway, I still take her as my friend and I really dun want to penalise her on wat she has done as I know she also doesnt have the intention to create so much trouble recently. I really hope she knows where her problem is and to overcome it as soon as possible. Well looking back on her, I do pity her for wat she has to face at the moment; she just lost her job, a messy career path, worried parents, forfeited housing deposits... So wat should I said??? I just can say "Be positive and enjoy life!!"
No matter how high you can climb there must be a time where you will fall. Im sure no one can be lucky the whole life and not all things can come to us easily. There must be some times where hard work doesnt paid and effort can be meaningless. When luck is on our way, we forgot to be grateful and tats when we lost most of our loved ones. We all know its not easy to get back from failure but rethink again, how many times you've fall before you know how to stand when you're a kid? 10, 20, 30....? If a kid can do so, why not you? Failure is just a lesson for you to learn from your mistake. Apparently, failure just meant you've just found another way of doing things wrong. The more you tried, the closer you are to success. If you're able to understand this, I'm sure there will be nothing able to hold you back in your future.
# Good Luck #
