This is an awesome piece.
And if you wanted to know what happened to us, this is what you didn't read in the local papers.
Stay happy, people. The crash is coming.

The Big Layoff
Never a good thing.
We let 300+ people go in head office and 100+ in the rest of the global offices. Only 4 were released in SG, but still it is a rough time for all. Its also the 2nd time we pioneers are going through this. Never a good thing.
Suddenly Wall Street is nothing. The high flyers in Investment Banks are all worrying about losing their jobs and sales guys in banks are suffering and can't get a job elsewhere. What a difference a year makes.
When even the Baker Boy is asked to leave, it makes you wonder.
I'm really tired.

2nd Win Of The Season!
Beat BarCap FC 8-3! So happy! This beats last season's record!
Ankle hurts though. Think its been kicked around abit too much.
These are uncertain times in office. Wonder how many will be affected by the 'streamlining'.
Now even Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley made be bought over. Haiz, what's the world coming to?

Lehman & Merrill No More
Something is seriously wrong when two of Wall Street's storied firms fall together on the same day. More wrong than what everyone thought.
Such a buzz is never settling for anyone in the financial industry.
Now no bank is safe.
Time to hide cash under the pillow.
Buckle up guys.

Mini Stag
Had a Mini Stag night at Luna last night after getting drunk at Urban Fairways. Golf and beer is always a potent mix. Think I'll have to go to the gym to sweat off the alcohol yet again.
Lost to BNP Paribas FC 2-6 on Thursday playing with almost just 5 guys throughout the game. Puui! I hate losing all the time. I'll stop Seaason 3 from happening if we end up last in the league this season. We're currently 3rd from bottom with 1 win and 4 losses. Cui.
Wedding preparations are kicking into high gear. Wifey is doing quite alot so I just try to help out as best as I can and try not to fuck things up. Less than a month to go before our big day!
Didn't mention about Wifey's birthday dinner at all on 30th August, but we went to eat at Tatsuya, a Jap restaurant at the old Crowne Prince Hotel. Hotly recommended by my good friend, Fann Wong (haha!).
A Chef's Recco set for each of us cost me a bomb at half a grand. Each sushi/sashimi dish felt like I was running along the white sandy beach beaches of Hokkaido, shawl flagging in the breezy north eastern wind. Was THAT good. The clincher was the sashimi starters. Either you could still taste the throbbing freshness of just-dead fish or taste the sea water off the Japanese coast. No joke!
Am I finally getting another Ipod Nano? *bated breath*
Man United v Liverpool tonight. Crunch time!!
