My legs are aching, so do my back. Lousy me... Been travelling to bedok every morning since wed. With my new pair of shoes and new sets of clothes. I don't feel comfortable of course, but i had no choice.
I get to know two new friends, vicki and esther. We hit off so well the first time we met. Esp vicki, as she's only one year younger than me, and her thinking was so mature. She was one of the lady i've known, who i classified as knowlegable woman. Her husband had a car company, and she helped him in doing sales. Her car knowledge is incredible. Wat she said to me are exactly wat my uncle told me. One theory that i remember is, Never loan a car for 10 years, and Never loan it 100%. Because you will make a loss at least 10-15k if u sell the car in the future. Don't ever think that, its ok, i will drive till it breaks even. Because by then, your car will have no much value. Vicki told me, Never buy a korean car...... hmm.. well, for me, as long as its a new car, i'm ok with it! But again i'm so wrong! She said, we don't neccessary need to buy a first hand car, esp when we are unable to make a lump sum down payment. A second hand car, which is 2years old is as gd as a new one. And one last theory, Never never wear a BIG hat, if u don't have a BIG head. If i'm only earning 3k a month, and if i would to purchase a 7 seater car now, is a very foolish thing to do. Unless i am able to make a 40% - 50% down payment, and my loan period is less than 7 years, then its a different story.
Being with people like her, makes me feel very valuable. I don't know why, i just felt that way. Even though she is well to do, She don't like to show off, she don't like compare. She praise others who is better than her in some ways, unlike people who could be jealous of others.
Her problem sum solving was superb... Today was our first lesson on statistic, she could get the grib of it in five mins. I don't think i'm slow, but i need about 30mins to understand it, coz its really not simple. Working with people like her can really motivate me. She is rich, damn rich. But she is humble. She is thrifty as well, and remind me e opportunity costs of buying a car. I should use the cash for investment. I hope to have a nice car, but have to wait till my trading account earns me extra income!
Its sat tmr, and i'm glad i do not need to work on sat for two months! Sat and sun will be my precious time with Roderick and Princeton. Hubby had plans for these two days, and i knew it would be a fruitful one!
