Today was a day that was neither here nor there. I woke up at about 10am and sat at my computer having breakfast and watching "A Lot Like Love", when my boss called to recall me back to office for some investigation case, of which I know nothing about.

As I arrive at my office, my Big Boss decides that he could settle the case himself, and thus I wasted a trip and 35 god-damn bucks travelling to and fro (Hougang to Jurong and Back!!!)
Having my saturday wasted from 12 to 4, I thought it would be pretty pointless to go anywhere or do anything, so I hung around in the office. Fortunately, I was entertained by this 52 year old colleague of mine, and his confessions of entrepreneurial passion, or if I woulod label correctly, "monetary passion".

He seems very much immersed in the idea that the China Market is a money tree (we call it Yao2 Qian2 Shu4 in Mandarin), and his proposed concept of business very muchy revolves around earning from the profit margin found between mainland imports and current market prices.

While I strongly applaud the entrepreneurial spirit he upholds, especially when he joins the ranks of pessimistic, dogmatic old farts we have here in our country, I treid to encourage him to take up a little "education" in the dealings of business (technicalities and rules of the game, mainly), before jumping in, especially if he were to jump in to the most lucrative but most volatile and unpredictable market of China.

I shall lend him a few starter books next week. Old man, welcome to the business world :)
