“For Stocks, Another Day, Another Dive”

  • Another question in the MIT undergraduate survey is “have you ever taken a class that you feel excited to attend?”..I think my Corp fin class is definitely one of my fav classes in my MIT career.
  • You see, people usually applauded for the professor at the very last class of the semester right? This class, we clap everytime.
  • But…..the admin finally decided to kick all undergraduates out (Reason: The MBAs can’t sit on the stairs, coz they have paid. )
  • side-note:  Modigiliani from the M&M theorem (58,63,66) was a Sloan professor !!!
  • just found out 熊貓外交 is a legit term!! this term just crossed my mind when i saw this “熊貓為中日關係解凍“
  • Finally its not the usual title “Asian shares mixed” ..but a saddening yet accurate “another day, another dive” : S
  • was discussing with SS why all indexes worldwide (and our portfolio, cry) fell into the red all of a sudden. SS said its because of the chain suspensions of Korean savings banks, I said probably, as most of the newspapers would have agreed, is due to the escalating tension in the middle east and the subsequent surge in oil price. Is it only  Libya to be blamed for the stock slide though?
  • watched 3 movies related to  financial crisis..”Wall Street”,  “Inside Job” and “The Company Man”…after all these government bailouts (bank of america, bear stearns), bankruptcy (lehman) and massive headcount reduction (citi) happened only just 2 years ago, ibanking is still the most prestigious and popular career among us …probably because it is the most (risk-adjusted) lucrative career?
  • anyhow I am going to take the HK gov CSB exam this summer, anyone else?
  • also chatted about our FS’s budget speech with my dad ..will write sth about it later if i hv time
  • OK…from all the options in the previous entry, guess I will take a PE sailing class in 2nd quarter of the semester , yeah!
  • But as a pre-req, I need to first pass the boat test…which is
    ” jumping in the water, swimming 100 yards continuously and then treading water for 10 minutes.” can I do that?!

The Night is Still Young

  • MIT released a survey on undergraduate life today, one of the questions is :
    “On how many of the past seven days did you get enough sleep so that you felt rested when you woke up in the morning?”
  • The point is…..we just had a 3-day long weekend holiday.  =__= how evil !!
  • I wrote my very first comment on WSJ with my real name (I commented with fake names almost every day on youtube and weibo….)
  • turned out I got 3 recommendations (similar to “likes” in fb) and was accused as “ministry of information from china”, hahaha wth? good start?
  • Keep playing 北極光‎ 梁詠琪 these few days..
    負十度我亦會滲汗　熱愛在臉旁便會禦寒
    你是北極光　震憾也耐看　怎可有更迷人風光
    我相信　與愛侶同尋訪 <–always thought it’s 與愛侶到札幌 (誤）
    看過這世界奇觀　便有幸福　將天降
  • My fortune cookie said “Wealth is the ability to experience life fully” how would you interpret this? is it monetary wealth? Do you agree? Well if it’s $$ …no doubt it could improve my life quality…and allow me to travel and witness 極光..haha
  • And usually they got “Learn Chinese” on the other side of the fortune cookie right? I got 炸(zha)薯(shu)條 (tiao) XD oddly appropriate for me : p
  • Was editing my CV for some engineering stuff …1) just realized my engineering experience totally outnumbered my finance/management experience.  2) Nothing on my CV is “-Present” ..i.e. I am doing nothing now??

Caveat – logic short circuit

大件事！！！

經過必不得已的債務時間表重組，
我星期一，三得番一堂！仲要係10－11am。
（然後星期二四有4堂－＿－）
到底我11am之後漫長一天可以做d meh？！！？（echo）

1. add a P/F class with no pset/essay (if any)
2. go jogging or swimming (what?!)
3. sleep all day
4. fold in library and study study study
5. do a UROP (but it will add extra workload)
6. do part-time (already grading a class already…)

不能再有讓自己深深悔疚的機會
方法只有一個

不要馬虎了事
不要得過且過
不要怠惰落後
把所有事情一一妥善處理

今日九點半按停鬧鐘後，開始發夢去上學。十點零五分，才驚覺是夢境，同學打電話來才懂衝上學。心想vocab quiz都在start of class 開始的，趕不上了，所以不讀了。（一直都是邊走上學，邊讀的。）誰知道我進課室就剛開始quiz＝＿＝ 都唔知係好彩定唔好彩。。。炒 =<
[樂觀version：yes！gum都趕得切！］
