      I had two guitars just to the side of the table in my photo! I knew I should have gone ‘Panoramic’…

        @Sophie I think my only distraction is myself!

          That’s awesome! 😀 I love these speakers @Zee. They’re so darned good for just 2.1!

          @Sophie he has a name, Yoon Jae. I must admit most of the distractions are out of eye shot. Why does the glue get a free pass? It is plenty distracting when I start doing paper crafts.

          @MattJuniper I always had that edition…not one but two for good measure.

          LOL @Diya – Yoon Jae’s cute. I prefer Kwon Sang Woo! ;;) Anyways, I digress. :))

            This is quite a funny series, for what it’s worth.

            Very distraction-free @Sidmenon. Big contrast with @diya’s colourful deco! I’ll save mine for next week 😀

              @AjFinance sharp eyes!
              On top of the books are paper flowers but they just look weird in the picture.
              Beside it is a book on language and then Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely!

                  @mattjuniper – I was a bit taken aback by the video person too 😀

                    @sidmenon is the answer to question 3 and 4 on your monitor ‘C’ and ‘A’ respectively?!?

                    (gonna look like a chump if not! Although I was torn between a and b for 4)

                    Likely story…blatantly to get you through equities 😉

                    @MattJuniper the paper isn’t good enough to get that much love and affection

                      @AjFinance Haha, actually my bass guitar is with my friend! Otherwise i would definitely have it as part of the photo 😛 I even have a miniature “axe” bass which my girlfriend gifted to me which lies above the woofers and hence not visible here 😀

                      @Diya yep I did notice those as well. I can imagine you’re hand automatically pulled towards the bookshelf when you’re going through a reading you don’t like 😉

                      Yep! Much less distractions compared to @mattjuniper!

                      I was gonna disagree @Zee, as it looked like Diya has a proper live human person distracting her by the looks of her laptop! But closer inspection reveals its a Kaplan tutor video…

                      @Diya, glad you’ve upgraded to the BAII Professional Plus 😉

                      @Sophie studying for the CFA exam I have scarified my social life but not my hobbies (mostly because nobody is awake 2am in the morning and I only have tv/music/etc to keep me company).

                      Also tell me how you like it. It is a cable drama so the episodes are shorter, I have a whole slew of Korean drama’s I can recommend so pm me anytime 😀

                          @Sophie I like him too! And Yoon Jae isn’t named after an actor. I could name all the actors/singers I’d prefer but the list is too long to bother with and this thread would become a source of distraction (and bore all the men).
                          But if you watch Korean drama’s check out Nine (currently airing) its awesome!

                          @Diya will do! Thanks for the recommendation. I have been off it for a while just because it’s so addictive. But it’s a strange side effect post CFA that I have been filling up my new ‘free’ time like 300 Hours 🙂 Curling up to watch TV is quite a distant memory :-O

                          @SidMenon No Guitar? :-O . I was hoping for a snap including the guitar by the study table 😛 You know, just in case the smiling faces on schweser books start driving you crazy m/
