Term Structure and Hedging

Hi all. It's lunch time and I am reporting from my new department. Supposed to be studying but my studies is not progressing anywhere. =_= Why do I keep wasting my money enrolling for exams when I don't even put enough effort to pass it... Anyway, our team consists of 4 people including my boss. I am the odd one out in many ways:
1) I am the only Malay here. 
2) I am the only one married.
3) Consequently, I am the only one with a child. 
I used to wonder how my former boss in CIMB-Principal survived being the only Malay in the office. Now that I am experiencing it myself, it is actually not bad at all, as long as you can get along with your teammates, your racial background does not really matter anymore. Sorry if anyone finds this statement racist. I have no racial issue. It is just that... I used to think I would only feel comfortable if I have at least someone with the same background around with me... a mixture instead of being the only one singled out. But I am happy to report, so far I don't quite feel out of place (except when they buy cakes containing alcohol or go out to non-halal place for lunch =p Haha. Okay. Not that often.)
On the 2nd and 3rd category, I am hoping and praying that my boss will get married and have a baby soon. Wakakaka. Okay. Maybe not so soon but at least in 2-3 years time? Motive? So that she would be more understanding when it comes to family issue. Not that she's not understanding now but I also don't have a pressing need to be at home YET. I hope, when the time comes, when I need to be with my baby, she would understand what it feels like. Hehe. After all, she IS 2 years older than me. =p

Tricia 6 months today

My dearest baby girl is 6 months today! And to mark this date, I did what I have been waiting to do since the day she was born - open her ASB account. =p Excuse me for being too money-oriented but it is important to start saving from young.
Progress so far 
- Tricia has started eating solid food since she was 5 months+. I could not wait until she reached 6 months because she was just too eager mimicking our action whenever she saw us eat. Been giving her Cerelacs and Heinz products (the semi liquid food and biscuit) so far.
- This baby girl is now able to recognise people and tell time! I effectively have a curfew now. If I come back past 10pm, she will start to cry. Remember this when you grow up, Batrisyia Hana. I have a curfew because of you so don't make so much fuss in the future when YOU have your own curfew. Hehe.
