Merry Christmas with MAY and Co.

Yesterday noon at around 1530hrs, I met May at her house. She gave me a christmas gift, please see the pictures below. =)


(Towel with letter "M" on it. Stands for May. She wants me to remember whenever I bath. So sweet of her!)

(Paper bag with wordings "I LOVE YOU FOREVER".)

We went to Compass Point at Sengkang, she bought 2 Polo-Shirts for me. She said I look nice in Polo Tees.

In the evening, I had a gathering with my best friends together with May at AMK central. We had crabs, prawns, fish, pork, baby Kai Lan, deer meat and etc. Forgot to take some pictures. -_-"

Right after dinner, second round at my Dad's house at Kovan for red wine, turkey and cakes. It was until midnight, then we left my Dad's house. Finally, is time for our "Personal moment" at one of the park at Yishun. hehe..

It was an enjoyable night & this is the first time I had such a packed schedule for Christmas Eve! More to come next year! =)

19th Dec 2009 ****(Past, Present & Future)****

Quote of the day: "sometimes in life, you don't have much time to look back, but only to move forward without having much choices."

Right now, 3am in the morning I am writing this blog with mixed feelings. A few things had struck me today and came across my mind. Thinking of the past and present, thinking of the past HER and "special" one. Not only relationships, about all the important things that will be for the year 2010. Well, let's talk more about psychological factors of human first.

Human does have feelings, memories, regrets in things they had or had not done before. I admitted I am one of them too. So, please do something in life that you will not regret it for life!

I am not sure if she will be reading my current blog, but I only happened to know today that she had been reading my past blogs and updates. I thought she had already forgotten about me. Thank you so much Miss *d*in*, I really do appreciate that you still do care for me. I wish you all the best for everything!

Getting ahead is the thing that I need to do right now, saying and doing without any actions is meaningless. Improving, changing, upgrading myself is what I needed for year 2010. I am getting old, already 27 this year and yet, achieve nothing. I need another 6 more months for the first step and I hope is not too late. Another 5 more years to be stable? Gosh.. that will be around 33 years old.

As regards to planning for the future with the "special" one, I needed perhaps another 4 more years to settle down, can she wait for me?? This is the crucial part, I shall know it in time to come....

To be continued and updated in Dec 2010......

BlackBerry Bold 9700 - The ideal phone!

The attached video is cool!

Initially I had opted for Iphone, however the battery life was not that fantastic.
I needed a phone with great battery life, BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be the one for me.Push email techonology was fantastic, camera was better than Iphone, the only downside was the broswer by BlackBerry. Plans had been announced by the company to upgrade the browser software to make it more competitive with other major contenders. Looking forward to that.

17th Dec 2009 - Recovering well and preparation for small party.

I had been at home for the past two days, closed behind doors, resting at home and did not feel like doing anything. But there was a need to see the "special one". She came yesterday to visit me and check my condition. It was really wonderful to have someone who care for you. So far, I felt that the time was never enough whenever she was besides me. However, this whole month, the time to spend together would be greatly reduced because she had some committments. Hopefully she will "feel" more for me so that she will be SURE of me.

Currently, I am idling at home, writing this blog and chatting on msn. Another three hours to go for the christmas party at 1930hrs organized by Adventis School of Management. I hope it will be an enjoyable one... hehe.. Time to go out after a few days at home.

14th Dec 2009

Wanted to start a new schedule but the accident was in the way. However, I will start tomorrow. I spent the whole day from 0903hrs to 1800hrs going to Polyclinic and TTSH hospital for consultation and X-rays.

I hope this will be the last time for me. I had enough. New life will start soon! Today May brought me some cookies that she made yesterday, going to eat soon. So hungry!

I want to recover fast!!

12th Dec 2009

Having an accident was really bad. So traumatized after that incident. My arm was aching every now and then for a few days and minor headache off and on too. I need to do something on Monday.

This year was a really a bad year for me, I need to go temple and pray. Feel so bad towards May also, I hope she will recover fast.

The best thing was my mum found out that I had a wound on my hand this morning and interrogated me. I hope all these things would come to an end soon.

I want to spend my Christmas happily.

9th Dec 2009

I had drawn out a time table for this week. I will do my best to follow my schedule. If you do not have planning, you are planning to fail. =)

Love
__________________________________________________________________
I received a sms from May just now and I told her I was sorry for all the things that had happened today. She told me not to feel bad because no one would want this to happen.

"Treat it as god was testing if we could go through thick and thin together. In reality, sometime bad incidents do happen and if you always enjoy easy and happy life, you never face true meaning", she said. She told me not to worry for her, she would be fine after sometime. So touched to hear that.

Friends
___________________________________________________________________
I was glad that I had quite a number of friends who cared for me. So touched. Mr GRS helped me to take my bike from Sembanwang and back to my house! Thanks brother! Serena called this afternoon and offered a lift to help me too! Bee Lian was involved too! Other friends on facebook too! Thanks everyone!

Events
_____________________________________________________________
Another important event today. My mum's birthday! Need to do some planning and see how it goes!

Is time to sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day!

8th Dec 2009

It all started from 0745hrs in the morning. I went to fetch May at her house to NYP. Along the way from Sembanwang to Yishun, there was a sharp bend, that was where we met the accident. I lost control of the bike and flew off to the roadside, I was semi-unconscious after I was off from the bike.

All I remember was, I kept calling May and asked how she was when I was lying on the road with my eyes closed. I couldn't open my eyes at all. I was so worried for her even at that point of time. Nothing but her in my mind. I was unconscious after a few moments and I could not remember what happened thereafter.

The next moment when I woke up, I saw a man helping me up and May was standing besides me. At that instant, to my surprise I could not remember why I was there! I asked May a lot of questions, why were we there and so many etc...

May knew something was wrong and brought me to the nearest clinic with my injured hands and legs. My right hand was quite badly injured, I couldn't even lift up my arm. Right knee with bruises which I had to take a small step at a time to walk.

I felt so guilty towards May because she was slightly injured too. She was the innocent party. I am so sorry May. I wished all the injuries were on my instead of her.

Right now, I was writing this blog with slight headache and injured hand, she was still on my mind. I was wondering if she was okie. I just called her and checked on her to make sure she was fine. She told me she was very afraid of pain and this was the first time she injured her face. She was so worried that her face would not recover. I consoled her, she told me not to worry and asked me to take care instead. But I know inside her heart, she was extremely traumatized by the accident.

My heart was so painful when I heard that, but I could not do anything.. what shall I do? I can not even protect the one I love. I must be more careful next time.

All my plans for the week were gone, I need to rest for a few days to recover.

7th Dec 2009 Thoughts & thoughts..

After a few weeks, I had started to swim again today. The weather was not that fantastic, but I still managed to swim 30 laps today. During the interval, I was thinking of a lot of things. My future, my love life, and many etc..

5th Dec 2009 at Seletar Reservoir

I spent the whole day doing my personal stuffs until evening. I met May at around 1810hrs, waited below her block for her. She was carrying a bag with her, I was wondering why she did that? Hmm...

We went to our "usual" place and sat down there facing the nice scenary. She took out a few boxes, I had expected that it was my dinner.

Though I already knew it, but I'm very touched! She cooked and did all these for me. So nice of her! We spent our "own personal" time together for the next few hours. We chatted and knew more things about her. I told myself I would give her the best and try not to hurt her. She seems strong on the outside, but she is weak inside.

MayMay, I will do my best for you and will not make you tear for me... =)

Appointment at Pinewood Garden

I have an appointment at 4pm at Bamoral road to view a condo. Guess it will be nice. hehe..

3th Dec 2009 (I guess She is the one)

Time passed so fast today. I was sourcing for property in the morning. @ around 2pm, I went to Funnan IT Mall to service my external hardisk (seagate), I am very poor in direction and it took me nearly an hour to find my destination. Gosh... I need to be better in this area.

Subsequently, Upper Serangoon Shopping Center was the next one. Collected my stuff, rushed home and went to meet May at NYP. She suggested Chicken Rice near Noven Square, and I ride her there with my R15. Rain started to pour in the midst of the journey, luckily it was not that heavy. We were slightly drenched when we reached.

We sat down for a short chat and made our order. The chicken rice was good, but too bad I could not remember the name of the stall. I will go there again for sure and it was worth the effort to travel there just for the taste of it. keke.. I am not sure it tasted good because she was there with me? =S

We went to Novena Square to shop as the rain had not stopped. We were talking about ice skating yesterday night, and guess what we saw? Ice skating indoor at the Novena Square Atrium! ahaha.. sometimes you really have to believe in fate. I took a first photo of her today. So happy...


(taken at Burger King, it was her smile which melted my heart!)

Our last stop was seletar reservoir and It was the place where I told her everything. We were back there again tonight! Everything was so perfect tonight, the sky, stars and full moon! haha.. Breezy wind and I held her hands tight and kept her warm. I love the feeling and wished the time would stay there.

To love a person is to accept the person who he/she is and not to change him/her to another person. If you cannot accept the person, then leave her. Changing a person to your own preference is wrong. All these were from past experience.

All I could say now was that I could accept her character and everything. She said that she needed a guy who could tolerate her behaviour and character. I guess I am the one! I am not tolerating her but I like her character.

=)I feel was so sweet whenever I am with her. I will make her happy in the best possible way I could. She will be my last one if she gives me the chance. haha.. I cannot imagine what she will think if she reads my blog. (she does not have the url. =p)

I need time for everything.

I have been meeting her recently and had made some progress. I guess she is starting to feel something and I have to keep it up. Sometimes, I even start to imagine with my long future with her. Gosh... Don't know what is wrong with me... think too much I guess.

It was 0938hrs now, I have to start working and source for some income for Christmas.

My New LOVE begins!

28th Nov 2009 @ 2015hrs, I met my "special" one outside Yio Chu Kang MRT for a date. We went to Serangoon Garden, CHOMP CHOMP for my dinner and ice cream. We went to ICE restaurant but was utterly disappointed with the quality and standard of the ice cream we had ordered. MAY ordered peach shelbet and I ordered Rainbow sundae.

We proceed to East Coast Park thereafter. We started to talk about us. I tried very hard to convince her that I am very sure about her. It all started around 2200hrs plus, until 0000hrs. She was still unsure and was cracking her head to think of her feelings towards me. I suggested for a change of environment and proceed to Explanade and gave her a break.

@ round 0200hrs, I continued to persist for an answer from her right in front of the river of Explanade. She was adorable, innocent, real, and with a strong character like me. She was also the most difficult girl that I had tried to convince her to be my girl friend till date. Though I love challenge but this is too much for me to take.

After 5 hours of persistency, She FINALLY agreed to give me a chance, but I was under probation for 8 months I couldn't care less and agreed because I am very sure she is the girl for me. I just LOVE her with all my heart. I am able to accept any conditions that she requested.

Life is good again after leading a single life for more than two and a half years, I need love and I have finally found my LOVE again!! =)

Looking forward to a new chapter of my life!

28th Nov 2009

It was 2am in the morning, I was here writing this blog. It was only 2 days, a lot of things had happened. I had a chat with her till almost 3am in the morning the previous night. She told me one funny thing and she herself also cound't understand why was she talking to me at that point of time? She need someone to "Open" her heart to the door with LOVE? She don't think too much, feel too much and eat too much. What a special one!

When I first met her, she had a nice, neat and short hair cut. I believe that if a girl can charm me even with her short haircut, there must be something special about her. She sent me a few photos of her having long curly hair. Oh god!! She was so attractive, stunning and sexy. Those photos were taken during her D & D. However, she told me to delete after looking at them. I did as told. Of course, I was sad about it. Knowing i was sad, she sent me another photo via email.

"Hey...., I know you are angry. I really do't want you to keep those photo. They are really not nice. I just let you see how do I look like with long hair. Sorry! .
You can keep those if you want to.", she said in her email.

So sweet! I like this photo. I am going to meet her tomorrow night. She said she was going to tell me something. I hope is good news! Is all about her these few weeks!

25th Nov 2009

I had problems sleeping yesterday night. My mind just couldn't rest properly... was it because of the caffine I had the previous night? Put this aside, let me continue about HER.

Today I told her my feelings for her at seletar around 2030hrs. It was a rather long conversation before I can find an opportunity to talk to her. It was the most difficult phrase to say out when you really love the person.

It took me around one hour plus before I could tell her. Her first reaction was, "are you really sure abt me?" I said, "yes, of course! After thinking for several days, this is my decision. I don't make decision implusively". I told her how I felt about her when we first met till now. But along from the start, she was always talking about herself, I was always the one very keen to find out more about her. Maybe that's the reason she said she was unsure about me. Because she hardly knows me and she told me she needed time to think. I am speechless for a few seconds but I continue to talk as if nothing had happened. Right inside, I was feeling a bit moody already.

I failed to convince her after several attempts. I sent her home after that. Though disappointed, at least I told her how I feel.

She said she would meet me again to talk about this again. I hope I can succeed the next time!Judgement day begins!! Time to zzzzzz...

Life is bright again even though nothing much has happened.

After numerous thoughts and reflections, I decided a way out. Sometimes, it took just one second to see a person. I need financial assistance now, will be very grateful to those who are willing to help. Though this is not a charity. lolx..

"When you are in trouble then you will know who are the good ones around." This statement is so so true.

But, I do not want to look back anymore ever since that day I packed my room for a change. Now, I choose to be cheerful and happy. Though things doesn't appear that well enough currently, I believe things will turn out better if i try hard enough. My sister told me do not just think, do it. "Okie, I'll do it", I said.

Right now, I am looking forward to a date tomorrow. I do not want to think of other things now. Just want to enjoy tomorrow. Live in the present and not in the past.

Hopefully it doesn't rain later in the afternoon, I am catching a movie with the "Special" one tomorrow at either AMK or Bishan cinema. keke.. "2012" is the title.

I need Lots Lots of LOVE now to keep me going...
=) I hope there are still some rays of light in my love life.

Time to ZZzzzZZzzzzzz......

20th Nov 2009

I couldn't sleep the whole night and was pondering for a few hours. Kept thinking of my own personal problems and "HER". Couldn't explain how did she come into the picture also.

I resolved to pack my room and take the first step for a change.
Schedule for the day shown below:

Plans for the day
1100hrs - 1730hrs
Project for Corporate Finance
Venue: Most Likely NYP.

1900hrs - 2100hrs
Updating of my contacts/network

2230hrs - 0900hrs
Resting time/Idling

Time to catch some sleep now. STOP THINKING PLEASE!!

What is life all about?

Had been thinking for the past few days, what is wrong? I was sitting under my block, reflecting alone 2am in the morning. Life is about $ or love? $ is really that important? Why are friends sometimes better than my closer ones? Couldn't understand...


$ really can make them feel so important? They can bring the god damn cash into their coffin when they die? Totally pissed off with their behaviour sometimes. Irritating.

Right now, I will do what is needed. My brother told me something today. Action speaks louder than words, I will follow his advice. Life will not change by not doing anything and complaining all the time.

Everyone seems to tell me something lately, is time to stand up again and not fall deep into the swamp and stuck there just because of a silly mistake.

Tomorrow will be a brighter day!

Blog on 17th Nov 2009

Today I met her again. Though I feel very down, but Seeing her makes me happy. She is so cheerful, innocent and cute.

She almost met an accident yesterday, I was so worried after reading her sms yesterday night. I initiated to fetch her to school and thank God she did not reject me. I feel dangerous and worried for her whenever she was riding. I also want to see her too!

I woke up as early as 0530hrs today because I couldn't rest well at all. Too many things on my mind & I don't know when will all these things vanish and disappear.

I went to bath and reached her block 7am sharp. I was sitting on the bench at the void deck and reflecting all the things I did in the past. But even now, I still could not get an answer. I guess right from the start to now, I took the wrong path. So disappointed with myself. I really need to do something soon..

For now, the best thing currently is to see her smile everyday..........

Assignments and exams coming this weekend. (13-15 Nov 2009)

Assignments, exams... I couldn't understand why timeline for all these are so short.... I need more time. I had been studying continuously for a few days already.

Actually, I need a lot of things currently. I need Love, $$, Certifications... Nobody can understand the situation I am in currently. Perhaps, that is the reason I am still single. Too demanding.

Unlucky or Blessing?

Yesterday around 5pm, I met an accident on the way to Sembanwang's Motorbike workshop at Northlink. It was at the sharp filter lane to the left that I skidded and flew towards the other lane of the oncoming traffic. I had injuries on both palms, left elbow and left knee. It was raining, I should have known that I need to slow down when approaching such bends. Sigh.. Luckily, I had another friend with me on the way, but she was on her own bike just behind me. Thank God, I am the only one who got injured.

Without going into further details, I went to a nearby cafteria and rest. My friend went to a nearby pharmacy and bought the necessary medical aid and attend to me. She was like a professional nurse at that point of time (actually she was). I was so touched by her actions. Really touched. I wouldn't know what I can do if she was not there. I was rather helpless at that instance.

When she was doing the dressing for my wounds, I was a bit happy at that time. I was not sure too, maybe because she was another special one.

The best part was, at that juncture, there were two uncles looking from the start of the dressing she did for me to the end. I guessed they must be imagining that they wished they were the one who was injured instead. hehe.. I had a professional nurse besides me. So funny!

Right now, 1 am in the midnight, I am writing the blog with pain all over my arms and legs. How I wish she could attend to me again...

I want to succeed in Real Estate.

Wow.. it had been 10 days since I last update my blog. I went for 2 viewings yesterday, one condo at serangoon and another at Yishun. Both are rental and open listings from Owners.

Subsequently, I met up with my best friend(Yongyu) for dinner. We were discussing about how to work in the near future. Thoughts of clinching the deal was constantly on my mind throughout the whole night, but how shall I do it?? How do I get more exlcusive deals?? I was wondering how do people in my division do it? There are too many questions. Only through experience and through the hard way then I can know. And of course, I want to learn as much as possible from those who are very successful in my division. I hope I will get my chance soon!

Econmetrics for Finance (Exam 23th Oct 2009)

Today is Tuesday, I am left with 3 more days for exam. I was still rather confused after attending classes on last Fri, Sat & Sun. I need to buck up now to read the thick textbook and understand the topics that were being covered by the Professor.

The professor was from Israel, she is a rather polite, gentle lady in the mid-thirties I guessed. Kinda like her behaviour and the way she speaks. I like lady with such characteristics and of course, with great knowledge. hehe..

Looking forward to my next class and of course, the exams!! =)

Read a Book by Anthony Robbins (Notes from a friend)

I had been idling around for the past few days and because of that, I told myself I have to do something useful today.

I took out the book written by Anthony Robbins and started to read. It was kinda of a motivational book and it took me nearly 3 hours to finish it.

It was a thin book but with great knowledge!

There are a few good pointers:

1. Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.
2. what you had done in the past does not determine your future.
3. You are the master of your fate; you are the captain of our soul. It's up to you. Don't wait to set your goals. Start turning your freighter now; because up ahead, just a short distance away, is your future.
4. Before something happens in the world, it must first happen in your mind.
5. Winning starts with begining.

I am motivated now! haha..

Motivation to keep one going.

To be professional, you need to have ample knowlege in the profession you are doing. Sometimes, even years of experience are not enough. Constantly going for self-development and training courses are the ways to improve your knowledge.

Right now, I am trying to gain new knowledge in the real estate industry. I also know the beginning of this journey is tough but I am willing to take the challenge and prove everyone including myself that I can do it.

JUST DO IT! No risk no gain, no guts no glory! Nothing can stop me!


(This is my division, I am very proud to be there)

First attempt for TP test on 1st Oct 2009

I got my class 2B license 2 days ago. It started on 0715hrs that day, and the test ended around 1100hrs. Waiting for my class 2B Traffic Police Test results was one of the most anxious moment that I ever had.

There were more than 90 candidates waiting in the same classroom for the results. The testors read out the results one by one without any number sequence (Gosh!, my no. was 19). My heart skipped a bit as the numbers were being called one by one! However, excitement and nervousness ended after around 20 minutes. Sign of relief for everyone, I was delighted to have passed and felt a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

Below are my records for class 2B lessons:

Enrolement date: 30/06/2009
Theoretical Lessons: Theory 1, 2, 3 & 4 (all on the same day 2th July 2009)
100 mins each.
Riding Theory Test: 31/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Traffic Police Test: 01/10/2009 (1 attempt passed)

Practical 1:
04/07/2009 & 06/07/2009 (2 attempts)
Practical 2:
09/07/2009 & 12/07/2009 (2 attempts)
Practical 3 part 1:
14/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 3 part 2:
16/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Circuit Revision:
16/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 4:
(Circuit Test): 18/07/2009 & 18/07/2009 (2 attempts on the same day.)
Practical 5:
06/08/2009 ( 1 attempt)
Practical 6:
10/08/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 7:
14/08/2009 & 15/08/2009 (2 attempts)
Circuit Revision (TP Test):
21/08/2009 & 29/09/2009 & 30/09/2009 (2 attempts on the same day) (Total 4 attempts for circuit revision for Traffic Police Test)

Based on the records above, it took me nearly 8 weeks to complete all the practicals and theory lessons to wait for the Traffic Police Test (from 30/06/2009 to 15/08/2009). I guess this was one of the best and fastest records that I could achieve (a challenge for myself to get a license in the shortest duration). i.e 3 months to get a License. =)

Currently I am dreaming to own the below bike. Please see the pictures below:



(Pictures of Yamaha YZF R-15 FIAT design cost around 7.1k on the road without insurance)

Love the design and specifications of this bike. I will get "you" soon!

Is just a matter of choice.

(Property Consultant Picture)

I went to hersing hub at Toa Payoh a few days ago (28th Sept 2009) as I was inspired by my elder brother who managed to excel in just a few months at ERA real estate Pte Ltd.

There was a so called "meeting" at 10am in the morning, however I felt it was kinda of networking and sharing sessions between all the agents from that particular division known as Preeminent Division. I also heard this division is one of the best in sales yearly.

I observed all the agents, there are nothing special about them except for the particular one or two of them. They are not very highly educated nor they are very good in their communication or presentation skills. why is it that they are so successful? It kept me pondering for the whole day.

Why does pple with a Bachelor or Master Degree earn lesser than those agents? Is not that they are very talented or smart. I just felt that they chose the right path and they were willing to take risk to take up a job with no fixed income. Generally, lots of pple are risk-adversed and that is the issue with this group of pple.

I felt that all human beings have almost the same qualities, however, you have to be very determined to make things happen. You must endure to the very end, if you have the important qualities as stated, you are able to succeed in whatever you do. Determination, motivation, endurance, knowledge and high EQ are the keys to success.

I am going to take a first step into this line and make my dreams come true. I shall give an update of my progress in 3 months time.

Just REMEMBER, think carefully before you make a choice in your career because it will affect the rest of your life!

Making a decision through Economics.

This is my first blog here. =) I am currently taking an Executive Master of Science in Finance and I had just completed two modules. One of them is Economics. I like to share with everyone an interesting topic posted by a lady on a forum. Please read on.

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden, $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2) Which age group should I target?

3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

[b]Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of beauty and money: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a trading position. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or leased. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in leasing services, do contact me.
