Somehow i was surprised that the last blog entry dated 31 July 2007 wasn't shown and i managed to get it available for viewing today before i start doing current blog entry.
This week, i learn something new. I striked an interesting conversation with Patrick. He gave me his profile that make me inspiried to do something for my future.
I never knew that he has finance and marketing qualification because he teach information management electronic commerce!
I think i am set to study CFA and then study MBA program at Insead after completing UOL course. For CFA, my reason to study is to educate myself with all technical analysis stuff. Insead is one of top 20 MBA universities in the world that is well-received by many europe-based financial institutions. It is a french university that has facilities in France and Singapore. The requirement to enrol Insead caught my attention the most. One/two essay,one or few interview, one or two languages(other than english), GMAT result are the requirement i have to meet. Beside that, i hear that classmates in Insead are likely working as CEO,president,vice president and senior management positions. I want to see how they think, behave and perform in class. There are a lot of benefit if i were to apply Insead MBA program.
Benefits are 1)motivation to learn two langauges that will be essential for me to travel and live in foreign countries, 2)insights how big wigs do in class, 3)superb network by making friends and knowing them.
If i have chance to study any univesities at my will, my choice is(ranking in order)
1)Columbia Business School (US)
2)London School of Economics (UK)
3)Harvard Business School (US)
3)Insead(France/Singapore)
4)University of Pennsylvania: Wharton(US)
In secondary school, the rumour and gossips spread within school. In real world or working world, it spread all over the singapore or if you are famous enough, it will also spread to other countries as well. You should start behaving and think how you want to do something for Singapore and probably world.

When asked if he would take a family portrait yearly and share it with his fans publicly like Fourth Brother (Patrick Tse), he emphasized that at that time he was still young and had no right to make any decisions, but now he would definitely not do that. He said,” Actually, I was under a lot of pressure when I first joined the entertainment industry. The baby, being the child of Cecilia and I, will be under even greater pressure!” No wonder he had rejected an offer for his family of three to film an advertisement even though the fee was high.
When asked whether Cecilia had breached many endorsement contracts because of her pregnancy resulting in him having to film movies crazily to earn money for the family, Nicholas immediately denied it. He said, “I have never heard about this; I am her husband, how would I not know of something like this!” Asked whether he would allow Cecilia to resume her work, he expressed that if the director and script was suitable, and the male lead was not lecherous he would allow her to film. When talking about his wife, Nicholas suddenly revealed, “My wife is now in the hospital on an IV drip, she is now having high fever. I am really thankful to the organizers arranging my schedule such that I can rush back to Hong Kong to accompany her as soon as possible.” (to watch this footage please login into on.cc)
Later when Nicholas arrived in Hong Kong at 8 pm, he denied that Cecilia had been admitted into hospital when asked by reporters. He said, “No! She is at home! (Are you rushing back home to accompany her?) Yes!” After replying, he left hastily. When reporters phoned Deborah Lai and Patrick Tse, they expressed that they were not aware of this matter. Patrick said, “Cecilia is fine and is at home.”
Also, Deborah accepted an interview from a magazine yesterday. When asked whether Cecilia was feeling nervous now, Deborah laughed and said, “Everyone else seems to be more nervous than us, Cecilia is very obedient and listens to the doctor and me, all for the baby’s sake.” Talking about her good friend Lydia Sum’s illness, she said, “She is at the most torturing stage, she has increased her dosage of medicine to speed up her recovery and cannot eat many things, the weather is hot, so naturally she has lost weight.” As for Cecilia having a fever, gynecologist Yu Kai Man expressed that it is dangerous for a pregnant lady to have fever, and the fever may also affect the baby.

Opinions:
My mother secretly bought Mr Bean Holiday R3 dvd(manufactured in Singapore) and show me a plastic bag with store name logo, Laserflair. She asked me to make a guess what is inside the bag. I made no hesitation saying that she had bought Mr Bean Holiday dvd. Volia. I am spot on. Having good relationship with my mother enable to know her inside and outside without any questions. I do not need to ask question to find out and the answer is already there for me to see. Similiarly, i will like to do the same for my future wife.
It is average Mr Bean movie now. I think Mr Bean tv drama is much more funnier. The day is already gone. It is about time to stop the Mr Bean franchise before it get stale in no time.
