QAD Safari mm后天就要到东京了。
我今天才知道!圣诞节的邮件不知道为啥没有收到。搞得喜悦都被拖后了。
短短的一个月中，我见了多少老友，从小学到初中到高中到大学。
在上海丽辉儿mm家和大学同学过圣诞，和南通初中同学及父母过元旦，在新泽西Liz家过除夕。
特特来东京，去吃了权八，森本，zest, china-8,看了电影,逛了秋叶圆，kababashi厨房用具街,除了没有在nobu吃到午餐，别的都太完美了。巧遇我同期去出差，又带我在波吃遍了各色亚洲菜。
和yolanda, Liz mm同床共枕日聊夜聊，接下来就是safari mm乐。瓦赛！我着实被大大地厚待了。
牛年开始的很牛！娃哈哈。

passing scores?

Posted by mimi under 无病呻吟

Maybe this is for ‘a few years ago’, and L2..
 
There is no requirement that you get >50% or >70% on any topic in order to pass. I have never got above 70% in Ethics and I am now a charterholder. It isn’t for lack of studying. I probably studied Ethics more than anything else. They get lawyers to write the ethics questions for the exams, or so I was told by an instructor at Schweser.

Take a look at my scores from L2 a few years back. I tanked FSA and Ethics and still passed.

Q# Topic Max Pts <=50% 51%-70% >70%
Multiple Choice

与紫无缘？

Posted by mimi under 周末VC
[6] Comments 
牛年了。本次出游最后一顿晚餐是年夜饭！
稀里糊涂的我差点又把日子搞错，告诉特特，我们新年是1/28号。
昨天一早收到人家的祝福，我无耻的收下了。
一下飞机还收到超级富婆“我为鞋狂”无高不欢姐姐的msg，邀我去吃年夜饭。
和闺米一家的团圆饭很完满。
总之，今年的过年对我来说很隆重。
 
更多的还是因为，我给自己买了很多“礼物”。
如今家里到处都是包包新衣服，不知道何时能整理归位，更不知道何时能把他们都派上用场。
血拼的意义更多的在于某物品对你的吸引和你得到他的喜悦。
 
话说在Bally看中一个大包，两只颜色都很称，先入为主，我和闺米都喜欢紫色的更多。
不巧紫色只有最后一个且有点伤，虽然店里同意再给折扣，我还是要了kiwi绿色。
 
再说，今天拿出Reiss的紫色皮带，结果发现号错了。
 
紫色无疑是08-09的流行色，替Qian mm买的LV的披肩是紫色。就连coach地包包钱包的隔里都统统是紫色。
  
在keren miller买的两件紫色毛衣是很成功的。。
我确没有包包，皮带，来配他们！俺，和紫色，貌似缺点缘分。

Lessons learnt

Posted by mimi under 0's仕事
No Comments 

Lessons learnt :

1. What you think your weakness(they are 纸老虎, the only enemies are ourselves) is can be your strenghs

2. You think you can do well in your strong areas but it is not easier than do OK in weak areas.

3. If strenghs don’t work out perfectly, you have less chance to make it to your final goal.

4. Be more aggressive, the higher you pursure, the more you gain.

5. Never give up. Hard work pays off sooner or later.

 I want to shai/share my non-pass result because I am happy about how it finally turned out. I would say I should/could have done better in at least ethics, FSA, QM. I am flattered that Derivatives worked out great. The more important things are I get a lot than I have expected including I get to know myself deeper and I learn above lessons by myself.

去涉谷弄头发，染了一个据说今春最流行的ASH系列10号色。
把能看的杂志都看了，发现街拍多了很多机车包。血橙pink出镜率很高。
坐车又连续看到几个机车mm！预感今年机车包要大热了！

我回来啦!!!

因为飞机上睡得特爽，下飞机特精神，于是把行李都宅便了，来公司鸟。

前皇后在，然后就告诉欧一个惊人的消息。虽然我不八卦（还要保守秘密），我要守口如瓶。

觉得跑公司来太值了。YOGA去~~~

和他解释就是shopping后，老爸来信说祝你周末血拼取得丰硕成果。*不服不行啊！
是的，本人即将连夜（其实也就是6pm的飞机）赶赴NJ,NYC，进行扫荡。
各位，尤其是提过需求的朋友们，请拭目以待。

吃多了，撑德，上来冒个泡

Posted by mimi under 无病呻吟

没有去用traininee餐。又懒得去想自己想吃啥。所以只吃了一个苹果，一瓶ononamin.就连晚上event(在一个腐朽的博物馆Surprised)也只喝了半杯冰冻可乐，半杯果汁酒。直到晚上要睡觉了，才觉得好饿，啃乐在酒店前台牵来的苹果。还好，可以入睡。
 
于是，今天，打算多吃点。然后，就吃多了。
 
早上吃过核桃蛋糕德，倒完时差的中午也开始觉得有食欲了。去rebecca买午餐。弄了一罐clam chowder一大盒salad. 认真的品尝了新英格兰chowder，确实比日本的好吃，不愧是元组。
太黑心弄了太多萨拉大，努力了好几次，终于还是没有吃完。丢掉前，拍了照片留念。

独自进城去

来波斯顿这么多次。出门要不是打的，要不就是搭便车。
因为特特晚上有课，9点以后才能陪我吃饭。给我设计一个独自进城的方案，主旨kill time, 提高独行能力。具体如下:
5:42 waltham station -> north station -> haymarket -> Abercrombie -> copley->Douzo->APT,BU
一切都很顺利。一路上都再问。very impressive的是，everyone knows AB. 买了一件兔毛的sweater,一件格子棉帕克。quecymarket, faneuil有雪夜景很美。
到copley的时候商店大都关了，去星巴克买了一杯berrychai.
Douzo吃了sukiyaki， kobe beef,
昨天super fusion吃美式寿司，今天一定要开开洋荤了。

后记 ：
昨天还是木有开到洋荤。去叫arlington的小镇吃了中国菜，炒粉还有芒果鸭，都不错。
去温彻斯特兜了兜，去特特的老家瞅了瞅。
谢谢tete!
