With Portifolio



I'm exiting my teens. As of tomorrow, I'm in the 20th year of my life. I'm currently in denial, however, and just as I've not been single for two and a half years(a now fixed period of time that shan't change for a good while), I'm going to be 18 for another 2-3 years. The way I see it, I still pass off for 16-17 so I have no honest right to claim that I'm no longer a teenager. So sucks to anyone who thinks they're going to make me older than I actually am.

I'm with portifolio now. I've been elected (heh) to the post of President of the SMU Debating Society. We have a logo now, and a catchy tag line. I'm very impressed.

Finance Jokes



No. They don't work. They're just simply wrong. I've been subjected to Finance-related-jokes by Prof Who Shall Not Be Named(I have to learn to be politically correct and diplomatic now that I'm with Portifolio). These are so cringe worthy that I've even lost my patience for jokes on maths and science. Afore mentioned Prof is also a megalomaniac and makes me look like a humble and modest youth (can I stress the word youth a little more to you people, I'm so not ready to get older).
Sample these gems.

"No Finance, no Romance"
"Random. Its a word, its origins are from Randy"
"Arbritage: There's always a sucker and a suckee. Don't be a sucker."
"For those of you who have a liquidity crisis, go ahead. Have more liquids or go do whatever you have to." (The most disturbing way EVER to announce a bathroom break)
"Why is Internal Rate of Return called the dog's metric? Because when you say it really fast, it sounds like IRR IRR IRR (eye-aarr-aar eye-aar-aar eye-aar-aar)."
The last particular one sort of loses its effect without Prof barking like a dog. I'm sad to say I mean that literally.

Suffice to say, this term shall drive me insane.
