Winner vs Loser

Yeah! Man U just won 4-3 in the Manchester Derby with a last min goal by Owen. He's the man!

Hmm...now I am feeling like a loser...watching soccer on a public holiday when Tim is not even in town.

And I need to work on Mon too. :(

When the hubby is not around....

Tim is now in Sydney and will only be back early next month. I miss his company yet at the same time I am glad that he is away. Whenever he is around, I feel the pressure to leave work a little earlier. Now that he is away, I can concentrate on working without feeling guilty of not spending time with him.

This has been a particularly crazy week. I have been staying back until 830pm before going home for a quick dinner and then taking conference calls from home after that. Usually the hours after office hours should be the most productive given that there will not be staff asking questions or clients calling.

But this week, I had the client calling me at 730pm and asking for a conference call at 8pm the same night. The boss had also been calling me on my cellphone several times to discuss about projects. I have so many projects on hand that I wonder if I have to become a superwoman to complete them all.

No wonder the daily horoscope in the Life Section of the Straits Times says I need to prioritise. How true!

New found hobby

I am so into monitoring the stock prices nowadays. Whenever I am online, i will definitely be checking on how the stock market is doing. To make sure I don't get distracted at work, I only track the US stock market. It is alot more exciting than the Spore one due to the volatility of the prices.

Imagine, AIG shot up by 90% in a single day! Even FNM which had been almost dead, more than doubled in the past month. Evem Citibank is now at almost $5 from just a dollar back in March. These financial stocks are really surging like nobody's business due to heavy speculation. Nevertheless, without real economic fundamental to support the increase, I am sure one of these days the prices are going to fall. Until then, I am happily holding on to a couple of these financial stocks.
