42 days left only.

So, things passed by this weekend, yesterday had this urge to write but now it's all a big blank. Thoughts and events flew passed and i felt like i'm in a speeding car, every moment recalled is like a fly that suddenly was swat flat by my windscreen - distinct, but tasteless.. except for a few =) will put in everything that comes to mind.

- the short interview with koon, though time says it's long.
- the enjoyable drum-playing at night service on sat.
- the sermon, which is not super duper whooper fantastic but dunno why i remember it well
- the group drum class today, the newspaper game to test their finger strength :)
- the very heavy rain on route to COP, but it's totally dry there
- when i had conversation with this girl while fetching her home, talked about her love interest & my lack of it, sheltered her from the crazy rain to her door, got myself all wet, went back to the car and drive to teach drums; and along the way, wondering about my most unanswered question of all....

Felt the chill of air-conditioning, wiping my hands dry while hearing my cold breath against the steering wheel, and the rain colliding with my windscreen, dissolving my present to past.
I could almost hear memories replaying..

and it sounded like this..





hAHahaHAhahaHAaAha..

Rain.. I think when you look into it, it is actually colours... loads of colours... just that when it has too much n we don't see it through the light, it looks greyish.

One of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen happened while standing under the lamp post, under light rain, at night.
Put aside your umbrella and look up, force your eyes to see, and there is this amazing unending spray of orange drops falling all around you.

You have to experience it to believe. =)
you know the hidden meaning right...


Ok, my study side:

Only 42 days left to my exam.. =( i'm so stressed.........scared can't study finish.............................finish.............ed......






My finance side, after studies:

Yesterday lecturer so so 欠扁 . He teach half-way, while my mind is thinking about advance auditing n performance management.... suddenly said it's advertising time, announces to the class that his friend in (high corporate place) has 6 vacancies, looking for qualified accountants to manage company funds in Dubai, annual salary is US$500,000.

how to concentrate in his lecture for the next 20 mins ?!!


lately saw this article.. the easiest n most impossible way to be rich when u retire, it's true..
Just save up about $20,300 by 26 yrs old, put it in an investment fund, let it earn compound interest. By the time you are 55 yrs old, it will amount to about $1 million. (but amount subject to inflation, interest rate.. blah blah all the PE.S.T.E.L factors)

Although by then $1 million is worth much lesser.. goes the stupid argument of future present value, so save now or spend now.. but..
nice try eh?
ya, i think most adults know about the miracle of compound interest. Save when you're young, earn by time advantage.


Problem? Only two, people at that age group:
1) don't save money.
2) worse, already went into debt.

boohoo.. besides santa claus doesn't exist, bank or any companies (that sell furnitures especially) never offer interest free loans even when it say so, they already included it in the principle amount.

That's why when money becomes more digitalised, maybe what's left in the vault are bankers hiding inside, dancing in evil delight. heh heh.




I gotha sleep and wake up. sleep n wake up.... sleep n wake up...... time to get old.
