Today is the FIRST TIME in my life I ran a marathon. I think possibly the last one too! =p<\/p>\n

I realised that a marathon is not scary. It’s the FEAR of running a marathon that is scarier!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I am back and I am glad that I have completed 42 km. Going to go to bed. *yawn*<\/p>\n

Limping Trip to\u00a0open corporate bank account<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I went to 2 banks to try to open a bank account. I realised although Standard Chartered offers really better rates than OCBC, I realised their staff are not able to answer my requests most of the time (be in phone or in person query on corporate matters during weekends). OCBC on the other hand seemed to have trained staff to be able to handle both consumer and corporate customers. In addiition, I think their service level is definitely much better than and more professional than the SCB which I used to have a very good impression of. I reckoned I will open an account with OCBC. Hope its the right choice! =)<\/p>\n
