I joined a webinar this morning, hosted by the Actuaries Institute, on gender diversity in the workplace. I didn’t realise that the webinar coincided with International Women’s Day, so that was a pleasant surprise. The webinar was really good, and it was nice to see some familiar names and faces. It was the next best thing to being at the venue 😊
I then went to the usual weekly FX seminar, which was informative, as it always is. I know the format of each talk now, and that’s the beauty of trading: part of it is all about the consistent execution. It is that simple and yet also so damn hard to do! 😂
And then as soon as I got back home, I had to take Little Miss to the vet for her usual biweekly visit. It was sooo quiet in the clinic that I had to comment on the quietness there today. The vet nurse said that it’s because thr vet has finally had her baby! It’s been due any day now, and the whole clinic has been waiting for the baby to come already – heck, even I’ve been waiting! 😜
And then in the evening, we decided not to go dancing and just rest up a bit, and also spend time with our friend who’s here from Sydney. We decided to go to this restaurant called Whampoa Keng, and try their signature fish head steamboat. We didn’t have a fish head, just slices of fish, but it was still very tasty nonetheless.
The wait staff spoke better Chinese than English (probably because they are native Chinese speakers 😂), but the waiter we had was very patient and only reverted to English when it was clear that we didn’t understand what she was saying. Well, if N didn’t understand what she was saying. My listening skills are terrible, so I barely understood anything she said 😔 I really need to practice speaking and listening more (note that this is another 2018 goal!).
And on that note, I’m going to write a diary entry on our dinner tonight – in Chinese. And read it out loud!
