Today went out with my dad to do his stuff. Yea, he is always making me go along with him, which is rather maddening at times. But I guess I am quite lucky that my dad brings me out for exposure, and I should try to be appreciative of that.

So today, we met my dad’s old classmate whose working at EFG bank. I didn’t know such a bank existed, but apparently EFG stands for some European Financial Group if I remembered correctly. Then we had lunch at a nice Teochew restaurant while they talked about business stuff. The main reason why I hate to go for such stuff is coz I’m like a fool liddat, 20 years old already still dunno how to join in their conversation and this feeling really suxs. So I erm usually juz listen. Anyways, the food was great. The water chestnut drink was super nice and so was the yam paste.

After that, we went to meet a banker at American Express and listen to him talk about options, exchange, etc. As usual I don’t quite understand wad’s going on. But occasionally hear of put options and call options which we learn before in financial management. Then they were talking about buying put and call and it seems like the arbitrage opportunities that the fm lecturer mentioned but up till now I haf no idea how to calculate that, heng it didn’t come out for the exams. But that banker was like so knowledgeable, and he can think veri fast, I was like wow.

I guess I’m really lucky to haf such a dad.
