~2008年度愛情運~

愛情在2008年對你來說慢慢變得不如往年重要。當然囉,你還是會出去玩、約會和享樂,但對單身天秤座而言,今年還不太可能步入禮堂。基本上今年將維持現狀。單身天秤座仍會維持單身,而已婚天秤座的婚姻也將保持現狀。對於善於社交的天秤座而言,好消息是今年你們將有更多社交方面的自由,但是你可以依自己的選擇改善愛情與社交方面現狀。

雖然不太可能結婚,風流韻事或多角關係還是有高機率發生。你也很容易和與工作地點、同事或工作認識的物件產生戀愛機會,有很多發生辦公室戀情的機會。另外今年很特別的是,你很有可能與你健康有關的人發生戀愛機會,不一定是醫生,可能是健身房、瑜伽教室或健康食品店或是營養師。如果你是單身,今年要注意很有可能出乎意料地懷孕,而且性欲和生育能力都很強。

友誼這幾年一直很重要,不過2008年將面臨考驗,這個趨勢從07持續至今年。基本上你今年比去年更可以可看清誰是好人,誰是真心誠意的朋友而誰不是。
品質好的朋友今年可以禁得起你的考驗,品質差的朋友將遠離,別傷心,因為你之後可以專注於真的好友情,讓酒肉朋友離開你。

愛情與社交機會來自四面八方,這段期間也適合回顧你的婚姻、愛情與整體社交狀況。上半年檢討自己,因為良好的檢視過去,將有助你更上一層樓。6月前不適合計畫結婚或離婚,適合厘清社交情況。所以重點是,辦公室戀情的高可能性,對象為主管的機率高於同事。另外,你有很多機會將與高身份地位的人來往,最少會與這些人關係不錯。

愛情與婚姻雖然還是你人生中的仍是首要目標。不過這段期間單身的天秤座會認真思考婚姻的可能性。認真的交往關係會發生,但仍備受考驗,感情將有不少小波動,讓你感覺不太穩定,不過桃花機會很多。

Salute to Sir John Marks Templeton (Nov 29, 1912 - July 8, 2008)

Sir John Marks Templeton (November 29, 1912 – July 8, 2008) was an American-born British stock investor, businessman and philanthropist.

Sir John Templeton was an investor and mutual fund pioneer who dedicated much of his fortune to religion and science. Templeton was born in the town of Winchester, Tennessee. He attended Yale University, pledged the Zeta Psi Fraternity and was selected for membership in the Elihu society. He graduated with a degree in economics in 1934 as a top scholar in his class. He was a Rhodes Scholar to Balliol College, University of Oxford where he first met his life-long friend, Michelangelo Antonioni the Italian film director. He graduated with a M.A. degree in law. He was a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter-holder. He received AIMR's first award for professional excellence in 1991.

Templeton became a billionaire by pioneering the use of globally diversified mutual funds. His Templeton Growth, Ltd. (investment fund), established in 1954, was among the first who invested in Japan in the middle of the 1960s. In 2006 he was listed in a 7-way tie for 129th place on the Sunday Times Rich List. He rejected technical analysis for stock trading, preferring instead to use fundamental analysis. Money magazine in 1999 called him "arguably the greatest global stock picker of the century”. He renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1968, thus avoiding U.S. income taxes. He had dual naturalized Bahamian and British citizenship and lived in the Bahamas.

Templeton attributed much of his success to his ability to maintain an elevated mood, avoid anxiety and stay disciplined. Uninterested in consumerism, he drove his own car, never flew first class and lived year-round in his peaceful ocean-side home in the Bahamas.

When asked about living and working in the Bahamas during his management of the Templeton Group, Templeton replied, "I've found my results for investment clients were far better here than when I had my office in 30 Rockefeller Plaza. When you're in Manhattan, it's much more difficult to go opposite the crowd.

On July 8, 2008, Templeton died at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas of pneumonia at 12:20 local time. He was 95.

Important Quotations By John Templeton:

"Rejecting technical analysis as a method for investing, Templeton says, "You must be a fundamentalist to be really successful in the market."

"Invest at the point of maximum pessimism."

"If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd."

30.06.08 Blue Sunshine Monday

Come to the last day of June already!! And it’s already half of the Year 2008!!! Time really flies... fastly... Still remember the beginning of the year where I just got my adjustment and increment and not to remember the first time to get my BONUS about a month ago!! I was so happy tat I really couldn't talk!! That was the first time where I thank myself for making the right choice to continue in PBM.

It has been a very fulfilling and promising 6 months that I’ve ever had. I’ve finally let him behind, get to know a bunch of funny fellows in PBM, starting to plan and execute my career path and w.e.f of July I’ll be staying in BU!!! Just move in last Saturday, settling down very well. Hope to have a better environment for me to study in the next 2 years.

Ehm.... Bumped into Jonathan last week and being invited to join his team to Mount Kinabalu this July!!! Without much hesitation, I’ve agreed. Although I am not too sure whether I’ll be able to climb up the mountain but I will definitely want to give myself a try. Never try, never know!!! =) So I think this 3 weeks I’ll be very busy exercising n building my stamina on stepper. Hahahh... I’m gonna make it this round!!

Regarding my career.... I’m going to take up CFA soon, most probably will be taking the exam this December, Level II in June 2009 and Level III in June 2010 (if I dint fail any of the paper). Hahahh.... I’m not too sure whether the CFA will help me in my Corporate Finance career but I think I’ll learn a lot of company valuation, portfolio and fund management as well as the securities market. So I think the CFA will not only can lead me to a more professional finance career but also will widen my knowledge on financial market as compared to ACA. I can feel I’m a step nearer to my dream.... =)

Conclusion: My life hasn’t been so good like now…. Thank you so much for making tat decision 2 years ago. There was once I keep asking myself what I’ve done wrong that you would make such a mean decision… But then now I know you’ve made the best decision for me n you. And I won’t be appreciating my life anyway better than now if it is not you… I like my job, my pay, my new home and my life now...

I am going to celebrate my 1 year anniversary in PBM tomorrow!!! Hurray....

20.06.08, Friday, Cloudy

Tired… tired… Tired…
Really tired… Never expect my work will be such tiring!!
It’s not about challenging my body but also my mind and soul. I'm sure this is the arrangement from God to test my ability to handle stress and anger. I know I cannot choose the people around me and I also cannot expect people around me doing the way that I am but I can choose the way I overcome it. YY, don't hold too hard, relax and calm. I am sure I can do it this time. I am not going to give up so easily.

I really can’t understand why there are people living in this world by taking advantage on your abilities in order to make their life easier? Couldn’t they be a bit responsible on their own work and don’t just keep pushing her responsibilities away?

I really look down on these selfish and coward people especially when they give you a face like “If you don’t do, who else? Don’t expect me to do this, I’m your superior!!” Fuck you!! I don’t mind to have thousand of tones of works but would you please be a bit kind and understanding??? You have your own schedule, we do have ours!!! We walked just like we’re flying while you’re sitting at your comfortable seat eating your karipap and drinking your Nescafe!! If that means doing your work, come on, don’t waste both of our time, go back home and be your dearly husband’s fatty housewife!!! We’re serious about our work and career!!! If you think you can get your salary without doing any tasks, you’re wrong, you don’t deserve anything here.

An email to you....

From: yuen yee
Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 10:12AM
To: SY
Subject: morning

你最近怪怪的。 你还好吗?
anything bothering you?
可能我真的不太了解发生了什么事情可是你也应该懂我们之前已经浪费很多时间了, 如果现在再不努力还要等到几时呢?

我们已经用了很多时间去找属于自己的路, SO我想也是时候去ACTION了。
两个人相处最重要的还是坦诚相待, 如果没了信任就没意思了, 不是吗? 所以如果真的有什么问题你想不通就拿出来谈吧。 可能会有解决的办法了。

~The ABC of Love~

came across something very interesting online today!! We've learnt the ABC while we're in school (the usual 26 words). but now lets go through how ABC supposed to teach us in life!! It can be in your love relationship, can be between you and your friends or even your family members!!! peace in life, peace for the world!!


A--accept(接受)
“世上没有十全十美的人”。记着,你爱他,就必须接受他的一切,甚至他的缺点

B--belief(信任)
不信任对方,经常以怀疑的口吻盘问对方,这种互相猜度的爱情就只有分手下场

C--care(关心)
关心的程度正好表现你对她的重视程度

D--digest(理解)
我们不是圣人,
总有情绪起伏的时候,
若对方是“凸”的时候,
你何不做“凹”去忍耐一下她,安慰一下她

E--enjoy(欣赏)
你应欣赏对方的一切,欣赏这段爱情带给你的开心、幸福。

F--*******(自由)
纵然已婚,也应给予对方应有自由及保持秘密的权利。

G--give(付出)
爱情这样东西不一定是你付出“一”,便会收回“一”。
但不付出,便一定没有收获。
对你的爱人,应有如对自己一样,毫无保留地付出,这才算得上真爱

H--heart(心)
爱情最重要的道具是心,
你必须真心对待,用心去爱。
没有心,又怎称得上真心相爱?

I--independence(独立)
甜言蜜语的人会说:“我是为了你而生。”
其实,每个人都有自己的生存意义,
不应过分依赖对方,成为对方的沉重负担,甚至累赘

J--jealousy(妒忌)
适当的妒忌、呷醋能表示你对对方的重视,
但切记是合情合理的呷醋;
反之,毫不讲理,大发雷霆地呷醋,必惹反感

K--kiss(吻)
一吻胜过千言万语,
轻轻的一吻已能代表你惜她、爱护她.

L--love(爱)
都说是爱情,没有爱又怎会有情呢?

M--mature(成熟)
为什么一般人的初恋总会无声无色地惨败,
因为年轻人多恋爱得较幼稚。
人成熟一点,你的爱情便会早熟一点,直到开花结果

N--nutural(自然)
很多人初拍拖时都会把一切的缺点隐藏起来,变成另一个人。
日子久了,缺点才一箩箩地出现,令对方吃不消。
其实,不做作,流于自然的爱情才是细水长流的。

O--observe(观察)
经常细心观察爱侣的喜好,不但能更了解对方,更能给他惊喜。
那份心意必定比礼物来得珍贵。

P--protect(保护)
做男朋友的当然要保护女朋友,
但做女朋友的亦要保护对方的尊严,
不应容许别人中伤、侮辱你的另一半

Q--quarter(宽大)
宽大是基本的要诀,
对爱侣的错误,
以宽大的态度原谅他,
因为你是最爱他的人。

R--receive(接收)
对于爱侣为你所做的,请不要表现得无动于衷,令他气馁。
她付出,你便应以欣赏的态度去接受,这才能令感情更进一步

S--share(分享)
若你爱他,就必能与他分享他的喜与哀,这是作为一个伴侣最简单的责任。

T--tender(温柔)
歌都有得唱《love me tender》啦!爱人当然要温柔地爱,因为男人女人缺乏温柔都不可爱

U--understand(明白)
不明白对方的想法,对方跟你说话,你永远只独自发呆,那就是一段缺乏沟通的爱情。多站在对方立场,将心比心地想,必定能更了解你的另一半

V--veracity(诚实)
对爱情,必须一百倍的诚实,
你也不想你的另一半是个“大话精”吧!
时常互相欺骗的感情又怎能天长地久呢?

W--wait(等待)
等是维系一段感情的基本元素。
最重要的是你要与他同步成长,同步走完这段人生路,
千万不可一个走先,遗下另一半在后。

X--“X”(乘法符号)
把你对他的爱每天以倍数地乘上去,
爱情自然变成无限大,
爱情走也走不掉。

Y--yearn(想念)
工作或不在一起时,
不妨多想念对方,
间或致电或传呼他说句“我很挂念你”必能令对方甜在心头, 更起劲地工作

Z--zest(热情)
像小龙女般虽然貌若天仙,却冷若冰霜的情人,除了杨过,相信都没有人愿意跟她一生一世。 所以,伴侣的,适当的热情能加添不少乐趣,但切忌过分热情。
