Today is the day that we ought to submit our group members' appraisal form. My friend told me that he glanced at my other group members' appraisal forms very quickly and indicated that I might be valued as 50% effort being contributed on this assignment! It's so 'bullshit'! Among my group members, I was the one who asked Sir about the assignment the most! I was the one who found the most information required! I was the one who submitted my assigned task on time! In fact, I should be the one who value them as 50% contribution! Luckily, someone is willing to help me as he is the one who knows my effort throughout this assignment's process.
Next, I just finished a video call with my family via Skype. My mum told me a bad news that my dad might be losing his job next year. For your information, my dad is a goldsmith. You may be curious why this will happen to my dad since the gold's price is so high nowadays. The problem is nobody wants to buy the gold due to its high price. His employer focuses his business at Arab's market. Nowadays, the Arabians don't place any order with them due to the slow moving stocks. Therefore, my dad is doing nothing at his workplace. This is why his employer plans to terminate the business since he still has construction business.
My mum asked me about labour law as she is worried that the compensation given by my dad's employer may not be sufficient or inappropriate! However, I have no idea about labour law. What I had studied were business law and company's act.
What should I do now? I just know that I have to spend wisely. I have to cut down my living cost as much as possible. Maybe I will need a part-time job to sustain my life. Nonetheless, what should my dad do instead? For your information, my dad just possesses the skills as a goldsmith. Ah, he still knows the skills of making coffee. Thereupon, I suggested that my dad can operate a small coffee shop but my mum 'splashed' a cold water on me that they don't have capital as all the money they own has been invested on us.
What to do? I still need to continue my study. I can't help much. The only thing I can do is allowing them to cut my pocket money. Initially, I planned to accumulate my capital to invest in stock market through my internship's salaries but now it seems like it won't happen anymore. Why I want to invest in share market? It's so risky! Yes, it's risky but I managed to make an unrealised profit of RM13000 over within two months and around RM7000 recently due to the fluctuating price.
Due to the recent circumstance, I think I shall put it to an end. Let's face the truth. I am not a rich guy. Whatever thing I want to do, I should consider its cost first! Maybe I should apply the knowledge I have in Financial Management. I should be my own financial manager and manage my cash. Don't worry, dad, your son can handle his life himself. If you have any financial difficulties, just stop his pocket money whenever you like, he can find his own way to survive.
Today is my idol, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin's birthday. First of all, happy birthday to you. Wish you have a stable life and a firm relationship! I do hope that I can borrow some luck from you. Hopefully whatever problems that strike my family and me can be eliminated and overcome as soon as possible.
Other than Charlene's birthday, as you can see here, whatever problems that I encountered, there sure be a silver lightning behind the grey clouds! Hopefully my family can get through these challenges and safe from whatever troubles, at least until my graduation as I will start to make money upon my graduation. Please, God and my god father, I beg you!
