first of all i need to apologise for not replying some of your sms for the past few days. i was busy for the past few days. busy with my first job and replying coursemates' sms. apparently the never-once-been-resolved-problem-arose-again. the lecture hall allocation for full time students was not enough to accommodate approximately 400plus students. thus some of them were worried as they didn't manage to attend the respective classes. my friends sent me numerous sms to confirm the time and also reminding me to help them reserve seats for them. life had never been so busy til i didn't manage to sms some friends asking me bout my job. i asked them to read my blog but i didn't update it as well. so here i am, though in a really sleepy mode, trying to write bout my first full time job experience.

as some of you might aware, i went for two job interviews on tuesday. both are audit firms but different in terms of size and client base. one is a small audit firm which has a more flexible working hours as OT is not encouraged unless i can't finish the task i'm being assigned to while the other is a medium-sized firm which has a larger client base and thus a wider job prospects. the downside of the medium-sized firm is that OT is not being paid and sometimes i may need to stay in the office til 9pm though the stipulated working time is much earlier. that reminds me of zewt's posts bout modern slavery.

i was lost at making decisions. that's because if i want to accept the employment in the small audit firm, i would start work on wednesday but if i still want to try my luck by competing with other job applicants for the job in the medium-sized firm, i need to wait til next friday before i get the confirmation. as usual, i asked my mii what should i do. actually i had the answer but it would be better to get a second opinion. mii suggested that i should consult my dad instead. as he was outstation for work purposes, i could only chat with him on the phone. he advised me to accept the job offer in the small audit firm as i still had to go for classes on weekends. as the small audit firm's working hours are more flexible, i would have ample time to revise at home after work[if i decide to revise my studies after a long day's work]. since dad had the same opinion as me, i finally accepted the former job offer.

many of my friends were making noises as they felt that i would be wasting my time in a small audit firm with the perceived minimal job prospects. some of them are working in either medium-sized firms or in one of the big 4. i told myself that i shouldn't regret my own choice and should stick with it no matter what happens. glad to inform all of you that i didn't regret my choice at all. shall reveal the reasons in my next blog update as i'm extremely tired and sleepy now. still have to attend class from 2pm to 8pm on saturday, possible mamak session and watch transformers at 11.40pm. not to forget that i have 8am to 8pm class on sunday. wish me luck! i'm seriously draining my energy.
