so they say results will be out next week. i'm shivering.....
why?
an outsider looking in
more updates froom the bizzare world of accounting:
you know sitting in a room full of accountants can really toy with your head....you know mess you up up there. so here's the thing, i'm in love, with my job that is. i mean it's not like the greatest most wonderful thing that's happened to me, but i feel like i could actually do this and be interested in it. so now i'm seriously considering going to SMU to do accounting. yep, that means i'll be staying back in good ol' asia for a bit more....waddya know. wouldn't mrs liew be pleased about that after she wrote countless reports for US, UK and AUS. but really, in my old job, i'd be waiting for time to pass till i get to eat lunch or go home, but here, time seems to fly. i mean i do occasionally glance at the clock cause my stomach growls pretty often, but there's just so much work and so many things to learn that you're just so immersed in it and you sorta forget about everything else. and the good part of having so much work to do is also cause everyone's working really hard and they're not just asking them to do their work. all my seniors (they call them that at KPMG, i guess they're your superiors), they stay back until way later than me(i guess they're paid overtime too though), and they still turn up the same time as me. and during lunch breaks, they hurry back after swallowing down their lunches just to get back to work. that's dedication, and probably love for the job for me. they don't seem to mind it even, cause there's always the reward of climbing the corporate ladder.
i just watched my first episode of smallville and kristin kreuk is a goddess! first day of work tomorrow...jittery.
i've got that internship at kpmg. it's not big bucks though, not even enough to sustain me throughout the month even. i get 500 ringgit a month, which is < S$250, for an 8 hour job....830 to 530 no less with a 1 hour lunch break. and they want me to sign a 2 month contract. i really don't want to take it but i think i have no other choice because the other MNCs have not replied, and if i don't take this and no one else calls, i'll be jobless till god knows when. i wish i had a better paying job. i'm broke.
the past 2 days have been pretty hectic and fun. and good news, my parents have finally relented, and i'm zipping around in my proton now....life is so fair. so on saturday, i went out with some friends of mine to watch a movie and buy a present for another friend. the movie was this louis koo movie, yeah it's chink, but it was quite funny. and then on sunday, we brought this other friend out for lunch...
i hate forwarded e-mails. i mean, yeah, i kinda understand if you're gonna send me some friendship chain thing that'll bring you luck or whatever if you send to to x number of people, but really, what's the use of shit like that? argh...and i never have the heart to delete e-mails from friends. it's high time i start. well, i got another one today which is the epitome of sillyness....well, it's this dumb mail that claims that chocolate is a vegetable, really childish. but the punch line was that you'd lose 4 kilos if you send it to x number of ppl...and people actually send it out. how stupid can you get?
