Was reading the magazine about the ten years horoscope reading. Not that I am a big believer of horoscope (noted I spelt hororscope before) since I believe that we shape our own destiny, but it is nice to realize that if we could chart the ten years business plan for the company, why couldn’t we do it to our own personal life.
I do have a ten years plan mapped out since I was 25. I achieved half of it, having a family of my own, having the stability and freedom to buy my parents things and started to make my money works for me. Half of it. Or shall I say all of it, since my plan is only for half of the ten-year period.
Truth is I could only see five years down the road. I saw me going to boarding school when I was in standard two and make sure I worked hard for that. I saw me in the science class when I was in Form Three (since my school had very limited science class) and I worked hard for that. I saw me in the States visiting two places, i.e. Niagara Falls and the Disneyland and I worked hard for that. I got all those.
When I graduated, I was clueless for the first four years. Didn’t know whether I was at the right path. Dreamt of getting married but don’t know what would happen after the wedding. Dreamt of getting the works done correctly but don’t know whether the path is there for me, an engineer doing this work.
So I started to see where I was going when Azeuchry was born. The financial planning, the spending on myself and on my parents. The bits I did for the family. Mapping out where the company was heading to. Well, the company wasn’t actually there because of the plan we mapped out, but rather on the market animosity. A bit here and there.
Back to the horoscope.
So it is said that in 2012, I will have a very clear picture on where am I heading to which sounds positive. In 2017, I will have a very heavy windfall. Which made sense because the economic cycle will take about 9 years to bloom very very nicely so all the money I invested in the unit trust funds will hit their high and I’ll harvest of around RM1.0 million or more in 2017. Big laugh on the the very small amount I’m investing (well I did a bit, okay? 40% to the unit trust, 60% to the new Coach bag and some shoes and make ups and whats). On the bad news 2014 will see a family commitment seeking attention.
I mapped out the whole thing and figure out that certain scenarios.
Scenario 1: Working in this organization until the retirement day:
First five years
---------------------
2009/ My age 32/ Azeuchry 5 yo/ Anna 1/ My dad 62 *
2010
2011
2012 / My age 35 *clearer picture of where am I heading * perhaps getting my Senior Manager promotion. Heading a very enlarged unit doing trading, hedging, operation.
2013
--------
Next five years
---------------------
2014/ My age 37/ Azeuchry 10 yo/ Anna 6/ My dad 67 * Family commitment seeking attention * My dad is the closest to me, so I assume it’s something to do with my dad. I’m wishing that I have all the time for him.
2015
2016
2017/ My age 40 * Expecting a very heavy windfall * Hmm what else if I’m stuck here in this organization. Perhaps becoming the youngest female General Manager? Getting very large amount of company’s shares? Tax department figured out that I overpaid and pay me back with 200% of compounding interest? Haa… drooling.
2018
Scenario 2: Not in this organization.

2011
2012 / My age 35 *clearer picture of where am I heading * Quit this organization. Will be offered a job heading a commodity trading unit with very challenging and doable tasks. Having fun at work.

Big name in girl-power motivation talk about money and career and breastfeeding. Getting called back to this organization to be in the Board of Director and get to kick people asses for moving slow. Haha.
