Freak! my wallet got pickpockted from my bag right under my nose...
there goes my 35+++ bucks and the wallet chris gave me for xmas 2 yrs ago (went to confirm with him). of course, not forgettin the no of calls i had to make to terminate my cards, be it ezlink, atm, debit and even nlb.
must say i am quite good with the procedures by now.
first u call all the banks.
then u call ezlink,
which will direct u to nlb.
after which, go to police station to receive the news that loss of ic and driving licenses NO LONGER need to be reported at the police. well, cant be helped, i dun lose wallets everyday.
so yeah, i need to go get replacements, which i will gladly do cos of the ugly photo in my ic. BUT but but, not when i am saving up for my grad trip. well, can only look on the bright side now, i get to change my ic photo, which is gonna set me back by at least 60 bucks or 100 bucks, depending on my luck and another 25 bucks for the drivin license which i need when i go clubbing.
not forgettin the replacement fees for atm cards. have half a mind to ignore the posbank one since i only had 1.77 buckc the last time i checked. heh...
quite a sad way to start week 7, aka hell week in smu...

let me start on a good note first. i went to watch an a capella group perform last night with emma and co. the group is called budak puntai and they were really entertaining. the 10 bucks was well-worth cos it provided abt 2 hours of pure music and laughter. i even got a tiny glimpse of the chingay fireworks. the weather was also amazing, even thou it can get quite chilling. i really really want to live on high floors next time, get to save on air con and fans.
but things after that weren't that good alr. first i had to go back to submit my fixed income assignment which i could have submitted in the afternoon cos i was in the same damn building as my prof's office. stupid me forgot to drop it into his pigeon hole. well done! another thing was of course the slow poke bus. took so long to arrive and made so many pple wait for it.
finally, a lineup of what is going to happen to me next term. everything that can happen to me is gonna happen within next week. fyi, i am doing 5 mods as listed below:
equity - assignment 1 (2 qns with subsections)
fixed income - assignment 3 due on friday
derivatives - homework 1 due on tues (at least 10 qns with subsections)
portfolio management - mid term test and market summary presentation
strategy - case presentation
conclusion: i am so dead. so totally not free next week. groan...
