more updates froom the bizzare world of accounting:
i've made about gazillion boo boos since i started. well, the biggest one was yesterday. so after i had been briefed about how to send letters and couriers and where to put them for the despatch boys to collect them, i was given an assignment. send a letter to this guy at general electric. the address is in the database and i was supposed to go look for it myself. sounds easy right? wrong. well, i sent that letter no doubt. today, my senior received a call from general electric (subang airport) and asking her why the heck did she send the package there? so it turns out i was supposed to send the package directly to ge in connecticut, usa. and that package was super urgent. i am so dumb and i think they're really starting to tire of me. i mean, who else makes countless trips to the printer to print the same document cause all the previous attempts had errors in them.
oh and i regress, the accountants don't 'love' their jobs, but they don't hate it either. one or two of them really do love their jobs though. so after working for 4 days, i'm taking a no-pay leave tomorrow...imagine the humiliation i had when i walked in to the manager's office on my second day of work to ask for leave tomorrow.

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'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.

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?


i just got my hair cut today by a person called holly. holly is a male. gawd.

The significance of the water price, to both countries, is Singapore’s existence as a sovereign nation separate from Malaysia, and the sanctity of the most solemn agreements which Singapore and Malaysia have entered into. - Prof Jayakumar

What I'm quite puzzled is (I'm sorry Singaporean friends), how can you claim to be a sovereign nation by being belligerent about a price hike? Singapore is, as admitted, dependent on Malaysia for half its water supply. Dependency does not lead to sovereignity.
