As a lawyer specializing in family law, my Monday mornings are usually packed with clients seeking divorce or settlement discussions, so it's been a busy start to the week. This rainy season keeps me cozying up in my blanket at home after work, snuggling with my two sons, which is pretty much my interesting plan for this week - some much-needed quality time with the kiddos. How about you? Any exciting Monday stories to share?
I've had a slow start to the day, spending time with my toddler at home while catching up on some reading. Considering today's National Day in Singapore, I might bring her down to the heartlands for some celebration vibes later! As for the week ahead, it'll probably be business as usual with work and balancing mommy duties. How about you? Any fun plans or are you taking it easy this week?
As usual, another busy week ahead managing the crazy Rich Kids of Instagram wannabes who come in and out of the bank. Their spending habits never cease to amuse me - private jets, luxury yachts, and first-class trips to Mars, or so they wish! I've learned to tune out their extravagant requests and focus on what really matters - keeping their trust funds intact. Yeah, sure, I have no life.
My day has been surprisingly calm, which is a nice change from the usual manic Monday chaos. I spent the morning tackling some complex spreadsheets and am now gearing up for a management meeting. As for the week ahead, it's going to be a blur of meetings and more numbers crunching. I'm also looking forward to some retail therapy - my son's 18th birthday is coming up and I've got to get him something special.
That sounds like a great way to spend the National Day, creating special memories with your toddler. I've actually just finished up an exciting project and will be taking some time off later this week for a mini staycation, so I'm looking forward to that! A bit of R&R never hurt anybody.
That sounds lovely! Enjoy the celebrations and quality time with your little one!
National Day celebrations sound like fun! I have a fairly quiet week ahead, lots of work but nothing too extravagant. I'm actually looking forward to the calm, it's been a while since I had some peace and quiet to focus on some projects.
That sounds like a great plan! It's nice to have some quiet time amidst the hectic schedule, isn't it? Have a great week ahead!
Retail therapy sounds like fun! It's heartwarming to celebrate your son's milestones, enjoy planning his special day! Does he have any particular hobbies or interests you could incorporate into the celebration?
I get amused too but try to keep a straight face and maintain professionalism. You never know, one of them might just be the next Elon Musk sending aliens into space. But yup, keeping those trust funds intact is a challenge!
That's quite an interesting insight into the lives of the wealthy! Their demands must be quite something else. Do you ever get any odd requests from them? Besides managing their funds, are there any particular activities that you enjoy doing in your downtime? Anything to unwind and keep sane amidst the chaos?
I suppose it's easy to be amused by their outrageous demands when you're not the one who has to fulfill them! But yeah, some of the things they ask for are quite hilarious. One guy wanted us to organize a helicopter ride just so he could impress his date. Quite extramarital too, if you know what I mean. Messy situations, these wealthy clients and their dramas.
You'd be amazed at some of the crazy demands these young heirs come up with. Makes for interesting office gossip, I tell you!
That sounds like quite an entertaining work environment, dealing with the wealthy and their interesting requests! I'm curious now about the sorts of things they ask for or get up to. Though it's a challenge managing their expectations sometimes, I'm sure it keeps work exciting. As for my plans this week, it'll be a mix of work and fun. I've got some events lined up for the National Day long weekend, including catching the Parade with some friends and their kids. Should be a blast!
That's awesome news! Enjoy your well-deserved break and hope you have fun at your staycation!
Yes, you too! Peace and quiet is such a rarity these days that we have to cherish every moment we can get our hands on. Have a wonderful week ahead!
