Aku ingat suatu kali di minggu ke sekian belas pengajaran & rotasi di Singapur tempo lalu, beberapa saat setelah NY market dibuka, Sitfong salah satu rekan terdekatku selama di sana tiba-tiba mengirimkan pesan singkat lewat yahoo.. "would you do this forever, Jo?".. This kind of job? Staying late til 10 -11 am, stepping out from the office at 1-2 am?" I replied, "why not, makcik, as long as you love your job?" then she wrote again, "but look around us, you have 180 traders in this immense room and the only person I can talk to for the past 3 months is only you? They talk to me too, no.. should I say they scream at me every half an hour?"
Then I wrote her back, "enough for today, dear, let's go home.."

Lalu kami pulang mencari bir masing-masing dan mengobrol di kamar kami sampai pagi. Sampai pekerjaan itu menyiksa kami lagi esok harinya.

Would I do this job forever, sitfong? No I wouldn't. We'll see what God has in mind for me next year.
