my first week of work! its been getting incrementally intense and complicated but i'm happy to be stretched. its all very intellectually stimulating stuff. if i had it my way i'd be up and about and meeting people more often, but as sharmaine says, its good grounding.
apart from all the research, reading and thinking i've been doing, this week i sent out my first emails to other analysts and next week i will be having my first bunch of calls with smart ibankers! the people in the office are really awesome too. i can't really get out of the school mode though, coz i always feel the need to have "homework", lol. but my overall impression of GIC has been very positive, its such a steady, down-to-earth place. no frills, no glam, but still very zai. one of the scholars in my batch already broke her bond to cross over the the sell-side, possibly with goldman, which is making everyone go a little green in the face. but its been a good thing to think about the opportunities outside as compared to here. makes you really understand and consider what you want.
i'm really thankful for what i have and also thankful that i have the ability to reach higher if i really wanted to. life's pretty good and i'm glad i have this blog to write about the phases i go though, my thoughts on the present and plans for the future. i'm immensely excited about growing up..but i shant get ahead of myself. i'm still a wannabe baby on the inside.
now i want icecream. OH and i want to watch despicable me. ITS SO FLUFFY!
