My bad.

I have been craving for him since we said our goodnights that evening. Serves me right for turning down his invitation. It was one of the rare occasions when he is free and so full of vigour. I ought to slap myself.

Not my day.

Lost a fairly big deal to a rival bank today because we could not make a better offer to the customer. Didn't get enough support from Wealth Management. If not for the vouchers, I would have closed the deal already.

Supposed to meet Ben from Wealth Management for a drink this evening but I was so disappointed with his department today that I decided not to go in the end. Not that he has any say in the matter but I will probably end up pouring all my grouses out to him if I do see him tonight. I shall spare him from the flood of complaints.

It was a bad day for me today. As if losing the deal was not bad enough, my phone had to fail me today. It was working perfectly fine until this morning when my customer called. The touchscreen was unable to respond to my touch. It is only 2 months old! Sigh~! I will have to send it to the service centre for them to inspect the phone and do the necessary tomorrow.

The branch will be extending its opening hours by 1 hour starting next Tuesday for one week due to the latest Growth Dividend payout. All of us will have to report for work at 730AM. So early!!! I don't feel like going to work anymore... ...

My horrible experience with New York Skin Solutions.

Did five hours of OT today but I won't be paid for that. Had to meet a client after opening hours to sign some documents. By the time I was done with all the paperwork, I was already late for tuition. Since tuition was cancelled, I decided to have lunch with my client to build a better relationship with her and her daughter.

Went to New York Skin Solutions with Hui Jun after the lunch date with my client. Our appointment was at 5PM but we only got to do our facial at 730PM. They made us wait for two and a half hours! Before that, they tried to make us sign a package, which Hui Jun did. I was there for a trial which was supposed to help me to decide if their service and products are suitable for me and if it is worthwhile signing a package with them. It makes no sense for me to sign up for anything even before I try their service.

After the facial, I decided that it just wasn't worth the price. Hui Jun mentioned her difficulties as a student so the consultant quoted us student price: $300 for 5 sessions. It is even cheaper than the previous package I had with Body Contours.

Here are some of the reasons why I think it is not worth it though it is so cheap:

1. They stressed that they do customized treatment facials but they used the same products on both Hui Jun and I.
2. Other than the extraction, which was extremely painful, I can do everything else she did on my own at home.
3. They always portray themselves as a high end salon but there was no private room. FYI, I always had a private room when my facial was done at Body Contours.
4. I feel that the therapists were not professional at all.

When I rejected their offer, they kept asking me if it was out of my budget. How can a banker not be able to afford something even a student can afford? I thought that was a humiliation to me and my bank.

I hold no grudges against them. These are just my honest and humble opinions. Those who do not believe me are encouraged to try it themselves.

Another training session.

Was back at HQ for training today. Got a SMS from my boss to inform me that a new tranche of SD is launched today. Out of courtesy, I replied to thank him for the information. He replied shortly after I did, telling me to pay attention in class because he has a loan for me to key into the system tomorrow. Stressed. =X

Had a great time in class today. Having been separated for a month, we had a lot of catching up to do. Had our lunch at Mac's today. In case you do not know this yet, they are having a promotion. On weekdays, between 12PM to 2PM, you can buy EVMs at a special price starting from $4.50.

Samantha, Benny, Kok Sen, Geraldine and I went to collect our uniform at Dick's Beaumonde after training. While trying our uniform, Samantha commented that my jacket fits me nicely while hers was a bit loose. The tailor overheard us and said that it is because I am fuller on top. He regretted saying that almost immediately after doing so and apologised. HaHa~!

Had dinner together at Pepper Lunch after that. Wanted to watch Death Race after dinner but Lido didn't have it. Cineleisure was still showing the movie but the only time slot they have is at 2AM. Too late for us so we ended up eating dessert at Xin Wang instead. It was only 8PM when we were done with desserts but all of us were so tired that we had to disperse from there.

Geraldine and I @ Pepper Lunch.

I think the next time we will meet again will be in October at our annual dinner and dance. Sad. =(
