To make my limited money works harder for me, I am starting to get into the practical side of the investment world. So far, I have not utilised my textbook knowledged. The Relations Manager at the bank I spoke to, was surprised to find out that I am a qualified CFA and ACCA, as if I should be at the other end of the table. But the fact is, I am really a newbie to investing my own money.
So today, I got 10% of my investable asssets into 6 unit trusts weighted heavily in Emerging Markets and balanced by a global bond fund, with a slight portion in commodities to pick up the yield. Yesterday, we bought the first car after I passed my driving test 2 days ago (while, it is expense rather than investment). Last night, I logged into my on-line trading accounts for the first time to trade some Singapore blue chips, but forgot my trading password and kept trying until my password was suspended. This afternoon, I called my friend at home to chat about investing property in Xi'An. I switched on the computer now aiming to search for property in Xi'an, but got diverted by a friend's blog, who is a supermum lived nearby and gave me a hand-made earpiece as the Christmas gift. I am scratching hard on my head to think of some gifts for her... I can't do anything made by myself, not saying that I do not have the interest or skills, but just no mood and time now. I am all into investment this holiday season... my Christmas is not white or silver, but goldish.. :)))
这个圣诞节让我暖暖的，是两个unexpected 圣诞礼物。是附近的两个妈妈给的，一个是自己手工制作的耳环，晶莹剔透的草黄绿色的珠子；一个是Maybeline 的腮红，可以在我的颊上画出浅粉色的害羞。是妈妈们在提醒我多在意自己了吗？我的时间全部给了工作（间接的是为了家庭收入）和家人，之前爱臭美的我好像已经不在了。我可以绝对素颜地出门，no makeups, no accessories, no high heels... 虽然我也爱这样的自己，可是还是要考虑到别人的感受呀，特别是 the Supportive Spouse. 不可以变成黄脸婆呀
我的圣诞节在一片投资的氛围中渡过，我终于学以致用了！Hurray!
谢谢你们，我的朋友！
