A Promise to Self

Saturday, May 26, 2012 ♥ 5/26/2012 07:56:00 PM


It has been a really long long time since I have updated my long abandoned blog. I guess weeds have overgrown the whole place. I still remember the last time I mention that I will update my blog as often as possible when I start working in the new company. It is almost years now and I have not kept this promise of mine. Partly due to procrastination, partly due to my passion has burnt out. As time pass by, I seriously wonder what is there in my life I am looking forward to besides working every single day.

Work is hectic since 2 August 2010. It has also stopped me from meeting up with friends as much as I want. Is this the life I want? Spending all my youth in work & reducing my social life? I guess not. I am starting to feel lonely especially at this age when most of my friends are married with kids. Oh ya, I am starting to feel lonely & an outcast when the chat topics is none other than kids. How can I join when I do not have kids, right? Looking at the satisfied smile & joy they have on their faces make me feel proud of them. Perhaps this is what they say truly blessed with a happy family. I have been skeptical about and always will be, oh well, at least until I have found my very own happiness.

I have constantly remind myself to go home early and spend more time with family and friends. I will definitely keep this in mind this time as I do not want to burn out the passion in me. Yes, the day will come and actions speaks louder than words. I will update my blog more often too (with old posts) to remind myself of the moments I have in life. As a reminder to myself how I have spent it in the past and make some changes on how I may love it to be.

I have stopped taking pictures too. Oh no....That's so not me. I do not enjoy hanging out anymore and will rather stay home. Perhaps age do play an important role... Hey, I am not that old...Yeah, I am still young at heart or at least childish according to my friends.

It's a Brand New Year!

Sunday, January 09, 2011 ♥ 1/09/2011 11:49:00 PM


It's a brand new year. I guess you must have set your new year resolutions, right? I have not done that. Haha, more to like I will not do that as most of the time, I am unable to meet them.

Anyway, Quarter 4/ year end close has ended. For me, it's a success as it's much easier than the previous one. My manager & team lead are proud of us. Guess what? I'm proud of them too. It's so hectic at work due to the confirmations through emails. Intercompany balances are zero for ASA, with very minimal differences due to system error. Our stress is replaced by joy when my manager's, baby girl decides to give him a surprise! She greets the world bout 2 weeks earlier than expected. A really 'cute' gift to all of us.

The new year has just started & I'm hoping good things will start to flow into my life once again. At least, the message one of my darling friends give me make me laugh the whole night! What can I say? Some people seriously do not have a life! Good for me though as I previously mention that the more people are jealous of me, the happier I am as it must be I'm leading a good life. Muahaha.... *coughs coughs*

Good luck in everything you do, people!

it's not bout getting a dream job, its' bout you love your job!

Sunday, December 05, 2010 ♥ 12/05/2010 07:04:00 PM


Photobucket

It's been such a long time since I have blogged bout anything in my life. Oh well, for those who know me, I complain every other time. Ever since I place my feet in the working life, I am grumpy. Yes, I have lesser time for my social life.

Anyway, I can finally say that I love my new job! I don't feel the dread to work even til late at night. People always say that some things happen for a reason & I am convinced that it's true. Bad experience in previous workplace has given me the courage to try something new & take the challenge! The opportunity is given when I'm most stressed up last year & I can't take it anymore! The opportunity really comes knocking on my door when I receive that late night call at bout 10pm during month end closing, just days before my exam.

The interview journey is tough. I almost feel like calling the interviewer, telling him that I will not attend the interview anymore, simply because the lrt is late plus it's raining. I wear a new pair of heels & have been walking for bout an hour in the rain because passerby has directed me to the wrong direction. It seems like not everyone knows how to get to Rohas Perkasa building. My heart is telling myself that hardwork pays off & I need to attend the interview because it's so unprofessional to call off an interview at very last minute.

The interview goes well & the manager seems really nice and smart. The next day I tell my friends at work that I hope I get the job. Belinda is really sweet to help me ask her friends in the oil & gas industry bout the company I am bout to join. She asks me to go for it! Haha, I even ask people to pray for me. The whole process of waiting for confirmation takes bout 2 months but it's worth the wait.

There I am! At a new place, still working late at night. It seems like my auditor's life is back again but somehow everything's different. I feel happy to learn lots though I have to work late. I learn something new every single day. The complications in the geomarket (a group of countries) that I handle give me the chance to learn new things. The manager is willing to teach us & never screams at us. He really has the patience to guide us. In fact, he involves us in the process improvement programme that he has created. It's the first time I have experienced it plus the management actually listen to our voice. Ahh, it's so great!

Recently, I have a new team lead. At first, I'm skeptical bout it simply because she has the same name as my previous nightmare. I tell many people bout it & it so happens that Alice knows her. Alice convinces me that I should not judge the new team lead based on previous experience as her friend (my future team lead at that moment) is an angel! Boy, luckily everyone asks me to erase all the bad memories & keep an open mind. My team lead is such a darling! She's so smart! Well, when I say she's so smart, I really mean it! Totally different from the past experience where I ask question but I don't get the answer & I have to think the answer myself. New team lead is willing to teach plus she does it in a way that you truly understand the whole concept.

There, I'm proud to say that I'm starting to love my job! Hard-work & perseverance pay off! *winks* All you need is the right timing & lady luck is smiling at you from the corner. A note to everyone, yay! The management actually look into workload & do something bout it. Something new to me but I'm loving it!

Back on Track

Sunday, August 15, 2010 ♥ 8/15/2010 09:26:00 PM


Oh well, tomorrow marks the second week of my new job. Yeah, I have changed my job again. Not that I really enjoy changing jobs but shitty things do happen and I'm lazy to blog bout it. Anyway, so far so good. I'm still enjoying my work. Obviously I get a culture shock when the west wing is almost empty at 6pm on a friday night. I have never been on a job where going back at 5.30pm is normal except of you-know-who.

I will try to adjust myself to this culture. Each of us receive bout 300-400 emails daily but I can still manage them & get my work done as everything is so organised in the new company. There are standard procedures to follow plus automation is adopted massively.

This post is a reminder to myself how I feel bout this new journey. After a few months, I still hope it is good news. For those friends who are in finance/accounting line, please contact me if you feel like changing career especially guys.

Hello my old closet!

Sunday, April 11, 2010 ♥ 4/11/2010 09:55:00 PM


Don't you think that it's kind of ironic that people think that I'm actually a girl with high confidence but actually I'm not? It's work-related again. Yes, again. I go for the interview & yay! I nail the job at my first interview. Thus, I'm being employed and start working at my current company.

Thinking that I don't have to travel to client's place, I'm really relieved. That's because I can doll up to work. Yippee! Well, that's supposed to be the case. But... there's always a but.. It's not the case anymore when I start working and people are commenting bout short skirts.

Omg, it's a horror because if you take a peep at my closet, it's at least 95% standard length skirt but because of my height they turn into short skirts. I panic and start shopping for knee-length skirts for work. Am I happy? Not at all simply because I have to spend more on new wardrobe. I even buy T-shirts so that I can wear to work on Fridays. Yes, I care bout what other people think of me especially bout my appearance. I need approvals. I need to know that people judge me based on my work and not my looks.

The end result? I'm grumpy all the time. I feel like an old rug being tossed on the floor. Gosh, when do I even succumb to the public view? Where on earth is that vain girl in me? Ok, I still use the word girl to describe myself because I still feel like a girl, needing approval from others bout how I should behave and look. A woman doesn't even care what others will think. She just does whatever makes her happy.

Things will take a turn from now onwards. I should be true to myself and be myself. If others can't accept me the way I am, then it's their business. I won't care anymore. I can't help it if I have long legs and they make my skirt look short.

It's Just A Lie!

Monday, November 09, 2009 ♥ 11/09/2009 12:34:00 PM


I have an announcement to make now. I'm still alive. It is kind of ironic actually as I leave my audit life to commercial line in hope to discover a more relaxed working life only to find out that it is still the same unless I work in a small company. For friends out there who cheat about being extremely free when working in commercial line, thanks and the penalty is you don't get to see me for months.

The only good news is the office is relocated to 1 Tech Park which is so much nearer to my house. The bad news is since it's much nearer to my house, I actually don't have to worry that I will miss lrt so I work extra late. Gee, I think it's safe to say that I have turned into a workaholic. Perhaps I should decorate my workstation to be more cozy as I spend most of my time there. Now I'm considering whether I should bring my pillow to office.

I guess it's time to change my hairstyle to make myself happy and continue to enjoy my working life. Another thing to ponder. Hmm... What should I do with my hair?

i thought i was going blind!

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 ♥ 8/18/2009 10:18:00 PM


After reaching home from dinner in the curve, I removed my contact lens as usual. I was shocked when my right eye vision was totally blur even though I was wearing my glasses. Boy, I got a shock of my life. I thought I was going blind.

Thinking that my new contact lens was torn, and must have left on my cornea, I screamed for my sis for help. oh well, the lens was perfectly fine without a tear but my vision was blur. It did not help much when I got panic easily. It's just like an automated switch in me which would be powered on whenever I worry bout something. There was an invisible shiny layer on my right cornea and I attempted to remove it, thinking it was the leftover from the contacts. Yes, I know, itchy fingers which caused me the eye infection, swelling and irritation.

I frantically dialed a few friends mobile phone numbers but they were busy with their own agendas. in the end, I forced Jimn and Feing to come to my house to pick me up and send me to the eye specialist. My parents were not at home at that time and though mum's car was parked outside the gate, I could not drive as the last time I drove was during my driving license test 8 years ago. Gosh, no eye specialist was available after 11pm.

Plus there was no 24hours clinic near my place. I became extremely scared, thinking and imagining how life would be if I'm blind. Ok, the poor couple had to put up with my dramatic imagination and obviously I could not calm down though they tried their bset to comfort me.

After visiting Tropicana Medical Centre and Damansara Medical Centre, I still could not get my eyes checked so in the end I decided to try finding a 24-hour clinic in Damansara Uptown. Could you believe it? I worked there for like a year and 9 months but I did not realise that a clinic was there. Ok, perhaps many of you would have guess how on earth could this blur girl notice such a big clinic. I had to admit that I could be that blur.

Anyway, the doctor said my eyes was perfectly fine and if I did not try to touch my cornea with my fingers, I would be fine within 24 hours. It could be due to allergy as it was a new brand of contact lens that i recently bought. Good to hear that I was not going to be blind. Haha, guess what? The doctor had to put up with my belief that my lens tore and some part of it was in my right eye. She checked it twice for me while smiling but it turned into laughter soon. I guess she must have thought that I was a childish patient. I believe I was at that moment.

Gosh, a really bad record coz I took 4 MCs wuthin 2 months and I have not passed my probation period whereas I did not take any MC for bout a year and a half. Gee.... Haiz... Wish me luck!

friday night outing!

Photobucket

Photobucket

It's been a long time since I'm out with my ex-colleagues. Just in case some of you don't realise, it's still the peak period for audit line. yeah, auditors are out there doing their jobs checking on transactions. Perhaps some of you will wonder whether i miss that life. To tell you the truth, I do miss the travelling around to clients' places and learn bout their companies. However, I'm starting to fall in love with my new job. People are so friendly and knowledgeable. It's definitely a different work culture.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Anyway, the thing that I miss the most is hanging out with my ex-colleagues. Haha.... they work hard and play hard too. Singing can relieve stress, I guess. At least you can sing your heart out, right? Ok, I don't mean it literally.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Catching up with ex-colleagues is really fun. Oh well, mostly because I'm more energetic than they are after work. :P If you ask me whether I will Hang out with them anymore, the answer will be YES! They are the ones who teach me lots of stuff while offering friendship to me. Who says that one need to be selfish at work in order to get the work promotion?

from audit assistant to accounts assistant

Monday, June 15, 2009 ♥ 6/15/2009 11:24:00 PM


Photobucket
Yeah, as most of you have known, I start my work today. Waking up at 6am is definitely tough especially when it has been a long time since I wake up at this hour. It doesn't help when I don't get enough sleep. Oh well, I get cold feet as it's my very first time being an accounts assistant. Both my previous work require me to check on accountants' work but this time, I'm doing the accounting. It's not like I have not done accounting during the course of my previous work, it's changing working environment that scares me.

What more can I say? So far so good. *winks* I'm glad that my colleagues are really friendly and patient. My mentor is a really nice lady, being really patient in coaching me to use the accounting software. I'm so afraid that i might make lots of blunder considering at still a greenhorn at this.

I'm really tired now, having a long day at work plus being stuck in the jam just for dinner. I will blog more bout the outings I previously attend soon. Don't worry bout me because I'm still alive.

how time flies?

Monday, May 18, 2009 ♥ 5/18/2009 09:36:00 PM


Have you ever wondered how time flies? It's going to be my exam soon, less than 2 weeks but I've not done anything. Thanks for my procrastination and drama series addiction. Gee, I'm in a total mess. I know crossing my fingers now and hope for the best is not a good solution at all. I need to take actions and make some remedies ( That's what i hope).

Anyway, looking at the bright side, at least I've updated my resumes in Jobstreet and Jobsdb. A few employers have requested for my resume; that's a good thing. I've tried applying for some as well. I've done interview today, another one is awaiting for me next week while other job applications are still under consideration. Wish me luck. I really need it because there are so many applicants out there as well.

I never know that job hunting and interviews are tough. Mainly because I've got my previous two jobs after my first interview. Yeah, that's right! Got the job on the spot. I have to wait for 2 weeks' notice before I know the interview results now. Kind of a new thing to me, but oh well, I think I can survive that. lol.. I need a job ASAP as my cash is running low, my cash flow is not that liquid after all. Please let me succeed in getting the job. *keeping my fingers crossed*

mid-twenties crisis

Tuesday, February 03, 2009 ♥ 2/03/2009 11:26:00 PM


i guess i have mid-twenties crisis. i'm starting to question my purpose of existence on this earth. i beginning to think whether i have achieve the goals i have set few backs when i'm still young and gullible. perhaps the habit of setting goals which are difficult to achieve is not a good idea after all. i'm demotivated when the goals come across my mind as i don't think i can reach them. i seriously don't want to be a sulky woman in her mid-twenties.

i still remember my my seniors' words bout i will reach the point in my life when positive thinking will be too naive. everyone has to face reality. i takes me 17 years to realise the real reason peter pan doesn't want to grow up. being an adult is not fun at all; ok... at least not fun anymore. i'm not even looking forward to grow older because i fear the reality slap that i'm not as capable as i think. how encouraging indeed??!

oh ya, just in case you are wondering, yes... i'm very much alive and i'm truly sorry to cancel any outing plans. suddenly i'm involved in assignments for which tight dealines are set. i'm in the verge of having no life other than work. i'm not as active as previously; being able to hang out late for dinner, movie plus mamak sessions after work. i'm be extremely tired to the state that i can't comprehend the things that people tell me after working hours.

that explains the reason i need people to repeat the things they have just said. that includes my sis, karen when she's telling me her exciting university life. i guess i nod most of the time then ask her to repeat herself. all i can think bout is work, even during dinner time. oh ya, that includes sleeping time. can you imagine i even dream bout my work? as a result, i lack of sleep. bye bye beauty, hello stress. haha... there goes my beauty routine.

i wish that my weekend will be a great one. it's been weeks since i have last met any friends. i hope i can at least hang out with any of my friends. even for a short while will do. *prays hard* i will try not to cancel any plans. i say try, not promise as i don't want to break my promise.... again....

on 10 may 2008, i was one of the 10 representatives being sent to spy attend a charity beauty pageant dinner organised by lions club of PJ Metro. the main sponsor was galaxy and the funds being collected would be donated to national kidney foundation. my saturday night was spent on doing charity while looking at beauty ladies competing in a beauty pageant.

Photobucket

Photobucket

lol...ok, my main purpose wasn't to look at how gorgeous the ladies were but to watch their talent shows. oh well, there's no use of looking pretty but without any special talents, right? it's not easy to sing or dance in front of a crowd for fear that the crowd would not appreciate the performance.

Photobucket

all i could say was some performances were good, basically because they chose to perform what they were good at. though some girls were really shy but at least they have the courage to stand on the stage and delivered their performance. now, that's what i call courage.

Photobucket

anyway, hehe..as always, taking pics is a must! well, i must admit that i'm very well-behaved when taking pics with colleagues. lol... if taking pics with friends, i can be really crazy.

goodbye, my senior~

Saturday, May 31, 2008 ♥ 5/31/2008 12:11:00 AM


i'm sure most of you have realised the fact that audit firms have high staff turnover rate. you may have made friends with the auditors of your company but the chances of you meeting that cute auditor again the very next year are really slim. apart from s/he is being assigned for another assignment, s/he may have left the audit firm.
Photobucket
L-R:
sitting down: catherine, ginnie, annie & kylie
2nd row: joyce, susan, sheik yong, siew im, jason the VIP in pink, agnes, ei tyng & shury

3rd row: evelyn,chuan wei (who doesn't pay attention to the camera), kendrick & skash

Photobucket

well, people say that there is no certainty in life. every meeting will have a departure in the end. in this case, the time i spend to know my senior, jason is really short. nonetheless, i wish him all the best in his future undertakings!

Photobucket

we have a private farewell party for him at yuen steamboat, sunway. yes, i know it's so predictable since i've been there countless times but my colleagues want to dine there. lol...i guess if they are from sunway, they won't feel that eager anymore.

Photobucket

thanks to chuan wei for booking tables for 20person or else we will have to wait in hunger. it's peak period for audit line so most of us don't go straight from the office. in fact, we are heading there from all over selangor and kl. some of us are still at clients' place when it's dinner time. it's worth it though, considering we have a great time laughing and teasing each other.

Photobucket

the scene when the chicken wings are being served is still really hilarious. i guess this is one of the cultures that don't change. each time i go with different groups of friends but the outcomes are always the same. guys will always be assigned to grab the wings. i mean the chicken wings. it's really dangerous to send a girl to do the task because of the pushing involve along the way. the worst part is a girl can't complain bout being molested as the situation is just hectic.

Photobucket

sometimes it's not just about the food and ambience of the restaurant. most of the time, the most important element is who you are with on that particular outing which makes your day a memorable one. don't you just agree with me? especially those crazy ones who never fail to amuse you.

Photobucket

not forgetting the mess we have created before footing our bills. imagine that on two tables.

Monday, April 07, 2008 ♥ 4/07/2008 12:06:00 AM


i know i'm guilty for not updating my blog for a very long time. mainly because i'm busy having headache from work. don't get me wrong, i love being tortured at work occupied with my work. at least i know i'll be able to learn lots in a shorter period of time. it's always easier to absorb things when young but i'm not that young anymore so it means i have to speed up my learning curve.

headache is not enough to describe my agony. obviously i will prefer to get assignments of auditing bigger companies or organisation simply because normally they have competent staff in accounting or finance department. it's not like smaller companies don't have competent staff, don't get me wrong. no offence, ya? double entry is seriously not as easy as ABC and a balanced trial balance does not mean a perfect set of financial statements. some clients' staff will try to balance the accounts by creating suspense account but believe it or not, we have to adjust all of them out. spending time to figure out what they are trying to do or discussing the outstanding matters with them. for each debit entry, there will be a credit entry is just a simple equation. you can have a few debit entries with a few credit entries just to explain a single transaction.

ok, i know i'm making many of you feeling like throwing a pie on my face. but seriously i'm trying my best to do my work because i believe for every problem that i encounter at work, it brings me a brighter future. i'll resume to updating my blog asap when i have the chance and my sis doesn't occupy the pc.

A.U.D.I.T-all u do is tick

Monday, March 10, 2008 ♥ 3/10/2008 10:19:00 PM


just in case you people been wondering what i'm up to recently, i better update you. yes, i got a new job even before i quited my old job! but of course, i played to the max during my long cny break before being a modern slave again ( just like what zewt labels us).

my lecturer once said audit line is all bout ticking. you need to vouch the receipts, invoices, bills, sight to bank statement,bank-in slips, etc. gee, how come it doesn't sound so easy? *cries* if the client has a good filing system, the work is much easier but this is not always the case. some clients don't even have proper filing system or control. this is where the auditors come in, helping them to arrange the supporting documents, not because we are obligated to but it's because we want our job to be completed within the budgeted time and of course, not exceeding the budget allocated. at best the actual time being spent for the audit is lower than the budgeted time estimated in the budget sheet.

gosh, i know i can't manage that as i'm still adjusting myself at the new workplace. believe it or not, i love my current job! basically it's still the same. the only difference is i already learn how to audit new industries within 3 weeks. i'm happily bringing work home because i don't want to OT in the office. the OT isn't paid so it doesn't make any difference where i complete my work. the culture here is really different. they demand efficiency and deadline is important. previously, i always do things slowly for fear of having no work for me to do and feel bored. now, i need more time! if anyone can donate me time, i will happily take it with a smiling face and a big thank you!

i think i'm turning into a workaholic soon. now i truly understand the fear of not being able to meet the deadline. with so much pressure, i surprisingly can sleep soundly without waking up in thye middle of the night to go washroom countless times. just in case you have forgotten, yes, i have insomnia previously and having the habit of waking up hourly to visit the washroom. thye workload is much lesser! gee, i guess my body is programmed to love pressure.

actually i guess i'm able to have good night sleep because i'm just too tired at work. imagine walking back and forth to retrieve big files with supporting documents and sometimes photocopying them myself. it will be a wonder if i suddenly grow fat with all the walking, carrying heavy boxes or files going on every day at work.

peak period for audit line has officially started. i have to apologise in advance if i have to reject your invitations for outings due to tiredness. i'll try to balance my work life and leisure time though. it's just that i can't make a promise because if i'm involved in a fieldwork, i can't estimate the time i finish my work. of course, there will be few exceptions. i'll make time for few people if they really ask me out. a very important note to remember, please do not annoy me from now onwards to july 2008. i don't know how well i can manage to control my temper when i'm under extreme stress. please don't feel intimidated because i don't bite. i can still be really crazy and fun to be with! i need a break occasionally too! *winks*

guess what you will get when you see a group of giggling girls in a cafe? if your answer is noise pollution, then you are damn right!

the annual gathering of my gang in ijc though they were mostly not my classmates created much hectic for the waiters and waitresses. we were practically screaming at the top of our lungs across the table just to chat with each other. actually situation would be much easier if we just changed seats to which we did! but the fact that we had few small groups of gossiping sessions happening all at once made things tough for everyone. haha, we had been repeating some topics few times just to convey the messages to different girls.

Photobucket

updating each other's life, bitching out our careers, sharing working experiences especially those working in audit and banking lines, talk bout our families, gossip bout other people and the list goes on. the never ending stories truly didn't even end. there were no full stops though some of us were actually dining because of multitasking abilities. while eating we were actually listening to those friends who had finished their share of meal to update us bout things that happened to them previously. ok, we even laughed or choked between meals. gee, luckily there wasn't any cute guys around or else i would seriously kill myself due to my not-so-elegant-behaviour at the dining table. phew~

being apart from each other made everyone felt the importance to capture those moments before the next meet in year 2009. in the end, by hook or crook, even when not everyone's ready, the cameras were crying out loud for a break but to no avail of course! though most of us had face cramps from too much of chatting, smiling and laughing, none of us wanted to give in. we still snapped pictures despite the fact that the waiters seriously must get back to their work. they were not professionally trained to be cameraman in the first place! thus the need to take few shots before the best shots were captured. just in case you hadn't realised, there wasn't any best shots in girls' dictionary as we could camwhore all day long.

the guilt of acting childishly wasn't there because we did it all at once. we were that crazy. since it's the year of rat, mei seah suggested that we did the mousy pose. we actually listened to her. lol... amy wasn't co-operative enough though. jia shin and sin dee wanted to remain elegant. wan ping could be forgiven because being a mum, she couldn't be too childish. imagine what her son and daughter would say if they saw the pictures. omg, i couldn't even imagine! *sticks out tongue*

having people who truly understood what i was going through in my work made me felt so relieved. at least there were others who gone through my predicament. of course, they were giving me tips as well to handle those sticky situations. i contributed my solutions too. we laughed at some funny encounters during work too.

life as an auditor or accountant is never boring because we meet people from all walks of life on a daily basis especially during peak periods. life as a banker is even more exciting especially for my friends who are working in the loan departments. they label themselves legal loan sharks. if soft and gentle voice can't persuade the clients to pay their loans then increasing their voices is a must! we have to listen to clients' rants and explanations while trying to use our judgements to settle the outstanding matters in our work. talk bout wanting an easy life and not wanting to increase lines on our faces. it's a failed mission anyway!

but the fun we had being together topped it all! everyone's contented with the moments we hang out together. that's what matters especially in this new era where OLs must strive to prove their abilities and capabilities to their male colleagues!

me, me n me only

Friday, November 09, 2007 ♥ 11/09/2007 12:54:00 AM


procrastinator is my middle name? oh no! i guess it's quite true. i'm supposed to update bout my life because as everyone is so busy with work and i seldom online nowadays thus my blog is the only avenue for my friends and people who concern bout me know what i've been doing or what i'm up to.

my friday night class ended earlier than expected but mii refused to come to coll to drive us home as she was still having dinner and kerry's class was not over yet. we had to wait for bout an hour but luck was on my side as both jason and i just found out that we stayed in usj... lol.. being a gentleman, he offered to send evelyn and i home. oh gosh, i was so touched because i was really tired after work and seriously need a shower. at that moment, i suddenly felt there was a halo on top of his head. ok, i was exaggerating. i was really grateful for his offer though as i was extremely tired.

let's fast forward to this week...

just as i thought i was going to be lonely for the whole week during lunch hour, claire came to the rescue! she sms-ed me on monday morning informing me that she's working in damansara uptown and invited me for lunch with her. i was smiling happily when i got her sms. it's a torture if i had to eat alone as i couldn't possibly be speaking to myself in public, right? i might scare people around me to death, thinking i were some lunatic girl. having lunch with claire spelt nothing but fun! we talked lots and my verdict was she's really a nice and friendly girl! me enjoyed having lunch with her and all thanks to kenelm who told her that i worked in uptown. luckily he remembered or else both claire and i have to eat all alone at separate places.

just as my life is a bed of roses, bad luck strikes. i fell down in the kitchen when i was walking towards the bathroom which was located in the kitchen. apparently mii was mopping the floor with slippery detergent but she didn't mop it with water yet. that explained the reason i didn't see any signs of the floor was being mopped. i almost sprained my ankle but luckily that didn't happen for the third time. i scratched my hands and my knee was blue black once again. haiz, i guess i was humpty dumpty in my previous life as i kept falling on the floor. i was scolded by mii for being careless. ouch, that hurts! in the end, she walked over to check on my injury when i was sitting at the couch, watching tv. it's really touching but the only downside was mii was actually pressing her fingers onto my injury but she didn't realise that as her eyesight wasn't as sharp as it used to be. i cried out loud in pain. -_-

yeah, i knew i was acting like a big baby but i was really in pain.

wednesday was the last day of work before my unpaid study leave started. michy sms-ed me and invited me for lunch. claire was too hungry so she went ahead to have lunch without us. as usual, we chatted and updated each other bout our lives. we had not been chatting since last week as we were both busy. hehe, i was in her mind. she told me that she sms-ed me right after she woke up from bed. oh gosh, i'm truly blessed to have nice friends around. we basically had girl's talk and giggled non stop. =P that's what most girls do when they meet their friends, right? a privilege that a guy can't have with his friends as he needs to appear tough.

oh ya, did i mentioned that my dad asked me out on thursday? it's supposed to be a family outing. lol... i guess he was so afraid that i might have dated my friends out. in the end, my family and i (kerry was excluded as she's elsewhere) went to 1U. the initial plan was to watch movies. my dad n mii watching a canto movie while sis and i would be watching another movie but we didn't find any movie that we so wanted to watch. as i had not been on a shopping spree for a very long time, evelyn,karen and i went shopping instead. yay! i bought few tops, a pair of sneakers and innerwear. i'm not going to post the pics up as i want them to be brand new in the eyes of the people who hang out with me, minus the innerwear of course! no pink tops this time but the micky mouse sneakers is pink though... muahaha...yeah, i know it's pink again but i cant resist myself. it's just so cute and sweet. i heart it so much!

i need a break!

Sunday, August 12, 2007 ♥ 8/12/2007 09:41:00 PM


gosh, i was busy in july as it was peak period at work. just when i thought i should be free by august as it's off peak period, i was totally wrong. off peak period for audit but peak period of tax as need monitor the tax instalment payments of clients. i felt contented that it was over as the last day was on 10th august and the next instalment would be by 10th of sept. perhaps i should learn how to laze around at work. lol. by doing so, i would be more free as i didn't need to push myself to finish the work in my hand in the shortest time possible. if only i knew how to relax and not push myself too much.

if some of you might have noticed, i was quite impatient nowadays. crappy things just got on my nerves and pissed me off easily. perhaps i had forgotten how to channel my anger by bingeing on food. many of my coursemates and friends said that i lost my weight to which i didnt believe at first. since they insisted that they were right, i decided to try on some of my old clothes which were kept in the luggages months ago. i couldnt fit into them anymore as i gained lots of weight. to my horror, i could wear them now. it's a good news of course as i didnt have to waste money to buy new clothes.

on the other hand, it's definitely a bad news! that's because i lost so much weight only after 1 month of working life. i could imagine myself looking like an alien after few months if the weight loss continued. i really need to learn how not to stress myself too much so that i could put a stop to the weight loss situation.

haha, yeah, i know that this post is all bout myself. i guess i need to update you people bout me. will blog bout other stuff much later. please be patient with me as this time i'm not consistent with the blogging routine as a result of hectic schedule instead of the usual procrastination.

my first audit assignment

Tuesday, July 17, 2007 ♥ 7/17/2007 09:36:00 PM


after being in the office for the past few days, learning bout how to prepare audit schedules and audit report, preparing documents for application of new tax file and some other tax related procedures, i finally was brought out by my boss and the male senior to client's place on monday. gee, it's really a great experience as i only learn bout audit theoretically in class but now i must use my knowledge into practice. lol... i didn't want to be an auditor as many people disliked auditors. auditors were the ones checking on their work and giving advices the clients to make necessary adjustments before issuing audit report. if the clients refused to make those adjustments, a qualified audit report would be issued. this explained the reason behind i-hate-auditors among clients.

i was really nervous bout my first audit assignment. not only that i was afraid of not having sufficient experience in auditing, i feared that the client's staff refused to co-operate and thus we had to carry those record books and supporting documents on our own. lol. it's a good thing that i panicked too fast. it's not as tedious as i thought it would be. since time was running short, we photocopied those necessary supporting documents which was later being included in the client's working file as reference.

as for the unfinished paper works, it's done today. we have to revisit the client's place tomorrow to finish our work and have the queries answered.

oh ya, the good news is i have more work to do~ lol...

boss brought me to another client's place nearby while my senior continued to do the audit procedures. we collected the new client's documents to be brought to our office as the client wished to outsource his accounting related work.

just make a guess who is going to handle the new task? *winks*
