Monday, October 27, 2008 I am back! I had a tough time at work because my boss is away on leave for the whole month.. There was 1 particular week which was really bad because of this head of FX, Mr DG. We were doing some close out FX deals for a co that has recently went bankrupt and i am totally new at it. i tried to ask everybody for help and damn it was not an easy thing because i am not even sure myself! my boss and colleague is not around which make it worse. I spoke to Mr DG in the morning (mind you, he is the head) and he told me that it was correct. So i sent an email out and he called me soon after and told me to go over to his desk. Our conversation: He: what ST (e big boss) wants is the MTM of the closeout deals. the Balance sheet amount to settle. Me: yes, the net PL is the amount that we need to claim.. and i go on to explain the numbers which i have already gone through w him in the morning. He: NO.. its the MTM, we dont want the PL. We need to do settlement for the whole deal. me: ?? what do you mean? the MTM is the PL, we remove the deals from system and calculate what is the PL associated with the closeout. isnt that what we discussed this morning?( i even ask like another 4 more ppl to confirm) He: *got irritated this time. i didnt see this NPV earlier. can you see that the balance sheet has a gap? and started drawing trial balance... me: i was like even more ?? 'when i remove the deal from the system, the balance sheet will be reverse out from both the asset(liab) as well as the reserves(MTM). so i have absoutely no idea what the fucking hell he is talking about. plus, thats how we do closeout in my company too! not even talking abt the bank we acquired! of course i just shut up and tried to think harder.. he then added: what's ya major? accounting? me: no, banking and finance he: then you should know this! i felt like an idiot loh! he: which school? NTU? me: no SIM i seriously felt super insulted after that conversation.. i already tried my best to help them and he is like f*. they took 1 month and we only took 3 days! what else do they expect? of course, the weak me broke down in the toilet, i am such a cry baby ok. Final conclusion: my numbers are correct. he just did some formatting before sending to ST the big boss. Sometimes i wonder if saying all this hurtful things really made him feel more superior. if he can do it quickly, why didnt he do it? plus.. we are not even in the same dept, we are just helping them and i felt that i got stepped. I felt even more stupid to get upset over what he said. he is shallow isnt it? hw can he compare himself who have 20 yrs of experience vs me with 9 months of experience in bank and zero experience in FX? maybe its not him, maybe i just felt inferior. i was really low on 17th october but felt much better after talking to bee, min and baby. plus, the next day is my batam trip! i think it was a good trip for me after all the stress! not many nice pics to post!  and this week was a long weekend. i spent my saturday and sunday with my mummy because i didnt really spent much time w her..but at the same time i was sad that i didnt go anywhere except shopping for our new sofa set. :( I felt moody. Sunday: Met my sister for Kallang mac breakfast and my baby joined me after that. mayb i was moody and said some hurtful things to him. but he was really understanding. sometimes i indeed think that i am a bad girlfren. Sorry baby! he then sent me and hui to Orchard and i trim my brows and shopping! My purchase: I really like e bag k! its 40% off and only $39! hehehe e slippers was bought on saturday when i went shopping for sofa set!
ok, have to face reality and to start work tomorrow. i wish i can have a good week ahead. tata. :) i must continue to blog to remind myself that i am a happy and xinfu woman. :)
