不想幹活，只想看書。
每天都不斷幹，有點作悶、嘔心。
不經不覺，已經31號。 |

| monkey business |
finished "Monkey Business"
it's a good book in a sense that it told me i am not the only person in a profession in which almost all of the participants hated the job itself the most.
u know what. most of our clients' staff (usually are those "accountants, accounting clerks, accounting managers, etc...) think that we are earning more money than they do, wearing top brandings of suits, with cuff links like LV, Gucci, Burberry...and they dont even care we are all damn nighters, working 15 hours 7 days on those stupid working papers, being bullied by those stupid managers. and actually we hate the job ourselves (though there should be some exceptions). but who really cares us?!
and we auditors, some of us dreaming to be one of those investment bankers, like the authors of "monkey business" were. and we jealous of their huge amount of earnings and bonus, toppest brandings of suits like Farragamo, Bally, Hermes...and we dont care about they are working 20 hours 7 days with those dumb vice presidents and managing directors.....and they also hate their jobs
hahaha......it's karma...
whatever, i dont really care i am working audit or investment banking...
i just wanna do whatever i want. |

要是逃離不了，怎麼辦?
很想附上結他，讓節拍帶動，跳呀跳。

上週再回到珠海，開始了五星期的審計之旅，工作量還可以，客戶是屬於合作形，可是睡眠就開始顯得不夠了。幸運的是，今個週末可以竭一竭。
到赤柱走一趟，吃過了最愛的steak、fish n chips，給爸媽送上了一枝行山棍，買了一幅畫(掛上後再多拍一些吧)。 |

| 箴言 |
「人心籌算自己的道路；惟耶和華指引他的腳步。」
"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps."
箴言第十六章9節 Proverbs chapter 16:9 是箴言啊，知道「箴言」啥? 請靜下，放手，好好想。 |

| failed.. |
finally......failed
"I regret to inform you that your score on the 2006 xxx examination did not meet the requirements for certification. This year’s pass rate for the exam was 44.75%.
Your failure to pass the examination is not a reflection of a lack of capability. Many of the questions in the xxx examination are geared toward acquired knowledge and analytical techniques in a wide variety of topics gained though experience in the financial risk management field."
em....kind of upset though it's expected...
should i take it again in the coming november with the updated texts or just leave it behind...? |

人是最會自己哄自己的生物，願意孤注一擲的時候，總有千萬理由說服自己(也企圖說服別人)，然後埋沒所有不安。
哈......你看看，無名火起三千丈，也有點兒可笑。 |

| Monkey Business |
承蒙友人郭夫人相助，遠從美利堅國帶回幾本書，非常多謝+內疚(我怕郭先生會打我啊....我真係唔知咁鬼大本架....)
1. Monkey Buisness
2. Radom walk down Wall Street
3. Accidental investment banker
4. Understanding wall street
5. Liar's poker
6. FIASCO about derivative trading
7. When Genius failed
started on "Monkey Business"
it's really good. it's written by 2 fresh out of Wharton and Harvard business schools ran into a well-known investment bank (Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette) in Wall Street. but what most interesting thing is they escaped from it after a few years of associate earning 8 times more than a normal graduate. they hated this industry (investment banking) so much and wrote this book to tell everybody what so secretive about it.
.....being addicted to it tonight....hahaa
extracted an editorial from amazon.com below, try it...it's really good
From The Industry StandardThe Net Economy is infatuated with boy wonders. Fawning magazine stories report the musings of obscure research analysts like PaineWebber's Walter Piecyk, 28, who managed to boost Qualcomm's market cap by $25 billion in one day last December. And Vanity Fair chronicles the harrowing road shows of baby-faced CEOs.
But there's a dark side to the story: the legions of hungry, young investment bankers who make it all happen behind the scenes. Wall Street's young turks attach themselves to anything and everything that generates fees. In the late 1980s it was junk bonds and mortgage-backed securities. In the greedy 1990s and onward it's Internet stocks.
Now thanks to two recent defectors from Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, we can peek behind the curtains of these money-making machines. Their book, Monkey Business, is the funniest read since Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker, and it should give pause to anyone who comes in close contact with this rare species.
Two young MBA hopefuls, John Rolfe and Peter Troob, got sucked into Wall Street right out of Wharton and Harvard, respectively, soaked up the local color and left to tell all a short while later. The scenes are straight out of movies like Wall Street or The Boiler Room: The young associates nurse their supersize egos while their bosses try to crush them; they curse profusely and live large on four hours of sleep a night; they subsidize the strip clubs of Manhattan before Mayor Giuliani took the perk away from Wall Street.
But what do they really do for $200,000 a year? "It took our mothers six months to realize that we weren't stockbrokers, working the phones to sell crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors," they write. "It took us another six months after that to realize that we were, in fact, selling crappy public offerings to investors." The only difference was that these two associates were shoveling the smelly deals to institutional investors, who then passed the bucket on.
Dave Barry couldn't have written a more schizophrenic tale. In a freewheeling narrative that alternates between the two men, Monkey Business lays out in exquisite detail how pitch books are developed (collaborative yet futile chaos dictated by hierarchy); how an investment bank arrives at a company's valuation (mostly guesswork driven by the desire to prove a company's march toward world domination); how to read a prospectus that an army of lawyers, bankers, accountants and managers have fought over in mind-numbing "drafting sessions" (skip everything except the financial statements). Then there's the story of a fruitless "due-diligence" trip for the junk-bond offering of an unnamed multinational wireless company, a wild goose chase over 12,000 miles through seven countries that yields little substance.
A year into their banking careers, both authors decide to chuck it all and get a life, leaving behind what they call a jungle full of commandeering baboons, dung beetles and busy monkeys. These days they work for a hedge fund, go home at 8 p.m. and toy with a Web site (www.streetmonkey.com) that pokes fun at anything Wall Street, from the relaxed dress code at Goldman Sachs to the demise of the Tiger Management hedge fund. The duo isn't working on a pitch book to take themselves public - yet. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

| 兩點過後... |
今日的議題是:「光著屁股大便怕不怕著涼?」
明顯地，一定是大便的時候想出來。
想念家中的厠所，最近因為工作至夜深，零辰一點、兩點回到家就只管呼呼大睡，連大便都沒時間。
明天的議題就是:「股市過度擴張會變成妊娠紋?」
靈感來自好友z ，對話節錄如下:
z: 正在做妊娠紋乳霜website嘛...
tf:下....有d咁ge野...
z:歲月摧人鄒紋魚尾紋乳霜都有啦...生仔大事後妊娠紋乳霜點解冇呢...?
......
tf: 「乳霜」是點黎?
z: 乳 + 霜 (香港氣溫低的時候大帽山先會有, 所以乳霜多數喺外國出產)
tf: o.....原來如此.....受教... |

| 方向 |
2007年，最想迷茫，不要想太多、太遠，靜一點。
我，不是一個
天天嚷著要擁抱音樂的人，只奢望追趕，追趕過去的荒廢。
時刻執著筆桿耕耘的人，只要嘗試貼近，貼近多一點文字。
從心所欲，卻不忘節制自省
是全年目標
我要跑了。 |

第三次的練習，嚴格(對我)來說，我是去學習。他們的技巧實在太好。
我習慣兩維思考。若簡單的以上下區分，
他們在音樂以上，在把玩。
而我在下，並不入流。 |

| 攸長假期 |
十日的攸長假期，轉眼要說再見。明天就要跟peak season說「hello」。
心情......還未準備好，要思量的事情給閣下一旁。
明顯地，我不善於轉變。
給我一點安靜、忍耐。 |
