I'm not eloquent with words. I'm not very responsive upon impromptu questions either.
Sometimes, I wish I'm able to react immediately?
The reason I'm still here, and not jumped to other companies/banks is that I feel the values taught over here resonates with me. If I'd joined any other manager, I doubt I'd still have stayed?
My outlook towards this career would have been completely different.
Before joining the industry, I'd only thought of giving financial advise; now, I'm also thinking of the long-term welfare of my clients.
Some people told me to jump from bank to bank for career advancement. But this is not what I want to do. People from bank are not able to do claims, as they are not representatives of the insurance companies. After hearing such things, the more I don't want to do this? Lol. Like it feels like I'm just going to sell one thing and be gone from their lives.
Meeting people is part of the job. Nice ones and not so nice ones I've met them too.
Sometimes, I feel that the things I do don't get appreciated.
Like, actually, certain things will affect our persistency. Like cancelling an old plan and getting a new one. (Even though the new one is more beneficial.) Once your persistency reaches a certain percent, you'd have to go to an interview to answer them, lol.
MAS has strict rules in the finance industry. So this is why certain things are done in certain ways.
But I don't understand why and how certain people still sell things in certain ways. LOL.
What I love about this job is still the same. I honestly love going for appointments.
One friend told me what I shared with her made her think of things she'd never thought of before.
Another friend calls me her financial consultant, to help her grow more money, HAHAHA.
Hope I'd be able to meet more nice people, who appreciates me and what I do!! #zen
Today is one of the most tiring day this year? Haha.
Woke up at 5.54am today and went to Pulau Ubin for our amazing race.
It's a cycling event. So me not knowing how to cycle, rode on a double bike. Was pretty scared the first 3 times. But got used to it!!
To anyone who thinks double bikes are romantic, please don't do it. LOL. It tires your thigh. And basically your entire being, lolol. Not romantic at all.
Clues were pretty difficult.
Oh ya, before I continue, I'd just like to mention that today is also the first time I'd ever experienced a bus breakdown.
#whatluck
Got on the bus at 7.05am. Expected to reach my destination in maybe 15 minutes. Bus ended up breaking down. Aunty called us to leave the bus, and gave us all a complimentary ticket each.
Kind of ended up late at my friend's place. Sobs.
But yup. The race ended peacefully, and my legion did not win. #sob
Got caught in the rain, downpour was sudden. Keep sneezing after that.
Had lunch @ this place. Cut our SP's birthday cake, since it's our birthday!
Cake was pretty nice?? Took home some too, LOL.
Went home, and rested for a while before going out to NTU. Felt much cleaner after a bath.
Went to get food first, HAHA. Then after finishing the food, we went to queue to take photographs at the official ntu booth I think??
In summary, I'm still sneezing now. Am going to see a doctor tomorrow, with my aching thighs, lolol.
