so the fed didnt deliver an emergency rate cut despite the rising unemployment rates though market had expected otherwise last friday.. maybe uncle bern has finally come to the realization that ammunition has to be used sparingly for it to take effect. rate cuts are getting too costly for the economy.

it's kinda regrettable how fast time passes after one steps into the corporate world. work is incredibly hectic, esp when you're working under a boss who is a perfectionist with mild OCD tendencies. this makes work doubly taxing, but challenging nevertheless. two months into the job, and i've made a number of mistakes already, some were serious, some not so serious, but what's most impt is the learning experience, and the need to remain humble throughout to everyone. the colleagues i'm working with are all extremely bright people, some perhaps even the brightest in their field, which truth to be told, is quite intimidating. i feel rather inadequate most of the time, but suppose that's inevitable being the first fresh grad hired in the pdts team. gotta pull up my socks and work harder.. and hopefully, i'll be able to leave the finance sector b4 age 35 to pursue my other interest..

to my dear frens who are still studying / job-hunting, do cherish your numbered days left as a free person.. life as it is now will be all over before you know it!
