:: Foreign Currency, Kele, Tigger, Cartridges ::

On my way home last night, after worship empowerment, as usual at the bus-stop opposite SBC.. Clare & Kevin were there too. They take buses from that same bus-stop as well. We went into FR-ing again, because I sorta told Clare that my financial reporting lecturer, Mr James Kwan over-run the lecture. It was good, but tiring as well. Lesson was from 12pm-3pm officially, but he went on till around 5pm. Kevin then gave me that remark, "got pay attention or not? what did you learn today?" haha. sounds so childish la, as if his my "father" who would speak like that to a child who just came back home from primary school.

I just told him I had a revision lecture on Foreign Currency. He went, "oh...". haha. Clare exclaimed that it's VERY IMPORTANT. Oh my goodness. No wonder James Kwan was rather puzzled when we said it's tough and we plan to drop that topic. Then Kevin pose a question for me, which sounded rather unclear. He asked "so, what's the carrying rate for Yen?". I thought to myself, "huh? Carrying rate...for Yen? I thought we're always given the rates and need not memorize them?". Before I said anything, Clare replied him saying something like "you don't need carrying rate for Yen...it's......". I couldn't catch what she said as I didn't understand what was said. haha. But I just merely told him that we just use two methods, Temporal method and Closing Rate method to translate a financial statement to the desired rate wanted. And Kevin went..."Oh.. Actually I don't even know what you're talking about.". haha!!! Clare then explained that he would always pretend as if he knows alot, and ask as if he knows the answers, but actually no. haha!! Then silly flesh in me shouted out, "haha! yay! finally I said something you do not understand!!". haha.

Clare went on to tell me the incident with Kevin about that "kele" dish she prepared while studying at US. haha. Kevin, as usual, appeared to be so knowledgeable about the dish as Clare was explaining to her friends. But actually no...haha. He could just go "ya... Kele. Ya, a German vegetable. ya.....ya...". REminds me of Leroy, "yaya, okok". haha.

Clare then went on to say that we could use that technique at times. Sometimes you don't wanna appear "green" in front of your clients, etc. You just simply nod your head, agree, etc. haha. Actually we often do that. haha, coz of human ego, "don't-want-to-lose-face" attitude. And posture is very important. You should not show to others that you're intimidated by them, or you're afraid of them through your posture. Maintain the ballet posture!!!

As it's Clare's birthday today. MinMin and I purchased some gift from my school. That's where i forget to collect the printer cartridge I paid for. As the plastic bag was not given, hence we had to ask for it, and she didn't help us put our items into it. Hence we left out the cartridge on accident. I pray that I could claim that on Monday. sigh.

We gave Clare a soft-toy "tigger", which could be hung onto cars and fridges, and refrigerator magnets and a card I made. haha. After I had boarded my bus, I saw Clare's sms: ".....I thought the tigger looks like Kevin". haha!!! I almost fell off my seat on the bus..... Haha. So funny. Actually, I also think so, after thinking about it. haha.

On my way home I was reflecting about certain things. Pastor called us to come to pray 30mins before practices, etc. In the prayer session, what I struggled most was when we were asked to pray out what we felt God has placed upon our hearts to pray about. I was very afraid. For a moment I felt like leaving. But I just stayed on, as I thought not everyone would be praying out ultimately. So I began to listen to how others did so. I need boldness!!! Alot.
