Party

I had my first party in london last week..It was fun... I went on two legs and came back on four legs and that too 24 hrs late!!! In between i made 10 pounds being a book runner for a drinking game..Drank like shit ...and gambled on drinking arbitrage and money....

Waiting for the next one next week...London isn't that bad!!!! hihihi

Part-II

Here I am finally in London!!! The real commodity trading capital of the world... The largest diamond exchange..... The highest concentration of banks.....
Joined london business school 1 month back.... Piles of assignment, hardcore finance project.... Valuing companies, creating financial models,, Learning how to do leveraged buyouts, how to trade arbitrages, how to audit companies, how to leverage capital structure.... Shit!!!! i didnt know finance was so complicated.. I felt it was mathematics..But this thing is high-fi.. You make complex models and decide how to do gearing of companies.. U think of ways of taking public companies private.. How to avoid hostile takeovers by leverage!!!

I was happy trading in singapore..I never knew this course was this tough..... Currently the profs are in corporate finance and accounting. Since these subjects are new to me its tough.Once they start hedge funds and trading papers, i hope that will be a cake walk....

And again i had my first interview with an investment bank last day...Yea for a propreitary trading role.... But think i wont make it.... Reason:?? I did pretty WELL in the interview..FUCK!

End of Part-I

Finally there i am.. Said bye to Singapore... Is it forever or for a period of time? Dont know.... But definitely feel sad.... this has been the place where i really learned to live... Where i partyed like a dead meat ...... where i started my trading career...Where i made the first million for my firm.... Where i lost the first million too..... Its all over..suddenly it is all coming to a stop.... Well life moves on...... Now for another 10 months studies,,,, life on a stingy budget,,, student life,,,, jesus!!! Dont know how i am gona face it.....Lets see.......
