I just finished my exams!! Like finally... I hate reading about laws and regulations. I rather learn more about concepts! So maybe I will enjoy studying for my exam more? I am most likely going to take another exam next June.
After my exams at Suntec, I met L for dinner! We went to Platypus Lobster Shack for dinner. I missed Burger and Lobster, so we went there to get our lobster fix.
We got the crustacean bowl, which includes lobster, sea urchin and cheese on rice.
Then for the lobster roll, I got the spicy garlic flavour.
Which I regret cus the spiciness was overpowering.
L got the traditional flavour.
Then we went home.
Such is my life this days. Time passes slowly while I am at work, then speeds up after. I feel like I have barely enough time for myself, or to meet people.
This is what happens at work:
0615 : Wake up, prepare
0645 : Set off from home
0730 : Reach office and listen to the regional conference meetings
0930 : Study for my exams while keeping tabs on the market, I often get sleepy in this stage...
1215 : Lunch
1315 : Get back to desk and study for exam again
1530 : Start gathering data to do market wrap
1715 : Send market wrap to my supervisor, watch while he edits my work
1740 : Knock off!
Sian right... Plus there isn't much nice eating places around :( Lunch is my biggest motivation when working.
Currently, I have nothing much to do. I can't speak to clients yet because I haven't got my license. Now that I have passed my exams, it will take me around one month to get it. Basically, my job is to be the "ears and eyes" of the market for the clients. We service clients orders and monitor the market for them... Like a bridge between sales and trading. One thing I really have to get use is the use of vulgarities in office. Just this week, I heard my supervisor and another supervisor from another department scold "fuck you" out of anger and frustration at two different guys. I am mentally preparing myself for the day when I will get scolded. My office environment is a little like the movie <Wolf of Wall Street>, but not so extreme. The stress is really high... so I guess vulgarities in the workplace is quite common?
Sighhh. What I miss most about working is my freedom. The times when I get to do whatever I want at any time is gone...
