| It has been sometime since my last update lol. Anyway nothing much has change. At least I have not changed my job.. hahaha... I am still with Wachovia --- it is Wa KO via. Remember that is how you say it. I have been offended in away when people say it wrongly purposely or make fum of the name. Truthfully it is a good brand name and if you do not know about it, it is okay, however it is necessary for you aleast say it well at it is a sort respect. Anyway sorry to have a bit of my fustration out. Following up, there are times that I feel lost or not sure if I should be there or not, as I feel people are doing things and I do not get valued. Anyway I guess I should make myself valuable rather than sit and complain. It is a hard working and friendly environment which I am sure it will last long. I am try to keep up with the pace, but I guess I am not up to that level as yet. Anyways, there are tons of things that I still have to learn. I really hope they will get a recruiter soon so that we can produce things that will be value adding. For now I am a in pain to see what I should do or not. I just to a certain extent feel that I don't get trusted. Anyway I am still loyal to the company and is expecting to stay for a while. Apart from work, I am trying to keep myself busy with other things. Thanks to Jen I was able to join the Orbis Moonwalk which made us walk from Wan Chai to Sheng Wan, up to Kennedy Town, than to Victoria road to the end of Pokfulam and down to Aberdeen, and walked pass Ocean Park to the deep water and finally reached Repulse Bay. It was crazy as it lasted for seven hours and I was paralysed the very next day. I am glad that I did not limp to work, but I was glad with the expereince, except for the fact that I meet this bitchy girl. Anyway sorry about it , but I am glad she left early. I was thank to have Par, Jen and Charolette walking with us all the way. ^_^. Anyway I should catch up with more people, so lets see where I should start. Argh.... I am a waiting for my holiday, hahaha,, lets see how it will work!!!! | | |
| OLA!!! Everyone... Once I was lost in Hong Kong and I was lost around where I was going to land after Merrill Lynch. Wahoo.. now I hearby announce that I am with WACHOVIA BANK, N.A 
hahaha.... soory... I know I am kind a hot selling my bank hahaha.... but anyways just kinda proud of what it has achieve so far in Asia. I am part of a team that is part of the bank's share services, where I do coporate human resources for the Corporate Investment Banking side. It will be a good experience as I never did things like this before. Also the people I report to are super friendly and I am having good conversation with my current boss which is due to change in three months. Anyways.. so far so good. I have been having training in Cityplaza 4 for the past week, but I am located on AIG Tower where my actually desk is. I don;t know when I will be heading back there but lol... the people at Cityplaza are funny. It is a samll team aiming for HUGE things. I am looking forward to be part of the team and contribute. I have to say sorry to Maggie Monster as we kinda arranged to have coffee for three days, but it never worked all due to my fault. Anyway I guess we should have one tea session, but lets see how things will go next week as my training schedule is not fixed yet. I also have to thank Jeani for having dinner with me on the first day. It was awesome to see you that evening and support with the project you are having with TDC... ^_^. Jayesh Peswani... where will you be at... | | |
| OH MY GOD!!! Done with Merrill Lynch. It was a good temporary placement as I experienced the fast pace environment which I always wanted to try. Truthfully, I did learn a lot and develop a lot over the three months however did have some very lows and some very highs. It was a good learning experience to treasure and I am to say dude I did gain. Thanks Lynda (my boss) Ros ( my senior) and Sancher ( my dai Si jei) for all the help and support throughout. I know I was quiet but haha you girls were TOO noise =P ...hahaha.. Anyways now the question is where is Calvin heading next? BLAH BLAH BLAH..... I don;t know myself la... Take a short break till luck comes? Never certain but I am sure to find one, as I am positive about my expreience I am building up. So positive spirit around me I guess. Throughout the time thanks to Jayesh and Jeani for the continuous meet up which kept my spirit up. I like having these central buddies. It was good to have them for a chat and for a stress relieve as Merrill is an intense place to be working in. Anyways now done, I will leave Central for sometime. Lets see when I can rejoin my central buddies. Must congradulate a few people here, before I forget. One is to Jeani, for your full-time offer at TDC (Trade Developement Council) and congratulation to Maggie monster for your summer offer at Swire Group. Enjoy your time there and remember the goodies for us. People are also heading back from the states and it is very nice to see them again. The other day I met up with Jay Ng and Jason Lee and Joyce Yuyu. It was an aswome night as it was good talk and I did enjoy the conversation a lot. Another day I also met up with Chiu and Amy. Sorry for being tried that evening but I guess I really had fun. Oh yes I also must mention about they day I saw Sonic Chan. It was great seeing you around 'white brother' and many thanks for teaching me the professionalism of going to game arcades. Oh yes, the other day I was in a voluntary work with Summerbridge, where we went bowling with Goldman Sachs people. I who represented the charity, had some fun time with the Summerbridge studetns and the Goldman people. It was funny how I met this voluntary called Qunicy. He was very in the the program and to some extend gave me a different impression of a banker. Thanks for that and thanks for the bowling fun. I am sure to email you call about the celebration they are going to have. Oh right Adam So, Diana Poon, I was hoping to see you guys there in these activities >_< but anyways I guess you all must be busy. Add oil. Umm let me see what I miss. Oh yeah, Jessica, we should met up soon for a coffee or something... will bug you this week on that. Leo Zen, welcome to being a Hong Kong person now. Sanson Chan, hoped you had fun in Japan and remember the pics. Par Par boy (Parminder) all the best with work. Alfred Au and Vincent, Happy Birthday. | | |
