week 2..day one..last day at tuas..

i suspect that the people at the client's place (the folks at TUAS)have certain magical powers..one of which is the ability to disappear at 5pm sharp. its simply astounding how, by 5pm sharp, the entire tuas office become a ghost town..daily, without fail..the employees seem to be able to disappear..impressive huh?

today i did something extremely important..but is definitely under-rated..i was put in charged of sticking reinforcement tapes on all the working papers...yup...before u snigger, do recognise that without the smart invention of reinforcement tapes (for those really really ignorant folks, reinforcement tapes are those little polo-sweet-look-alike stickers that u paste around the holes u punch on papers), there will be millions and millions of papers which fall apart!!! people will be come so so soooo disorganised!!! haha..well, poor veera..somehow i have done all that is in my capacity(sales test..expense vouching..blahblahblah) and he has nothing else for me..i can practically see the frown lines forming on his forehead..as he struggles to find something for me to do..well..its better to zhuo bo at tuas than zhuo bo in office right? at least tuas is far away from the boss's line of sight..

lalala

i'm not a sunshine person
smiling takes effort
i hate it when my smile is unreciprocated

i guess darkness can be welcoming at times
as is optimism when the situation suits
yet i'm most comfortable in a straight face
as much as i love to laugh

deep down, a palette of emotions
happiness::uncertainty::idignant::stubborness::loneliness

liberation comes when the wild side surfaces
suppression looms as certain as routine

damsels in distress

there was this stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit who was trying to be funny by harrassing us...while we were happily dancing at our own corner, he came near us and keep moving nearer and nearer..if i was not held back, my feet wuld have met his BLOODY ass. he was damn luck that everytime i wanna kick him he move away. i was so damn pissed. no matter how much i elbow and push him he just kept coming. WTF. i was so angry and desperate that when a new group of guys move near to dance, i simply approach 1 of the guys for help. he just turn around n look kinda lost. in hindsight, i would have given the same look and not know what to do in his shoes either. anyway before he could collect his thoughts, i spot the bouncer and flew there. i told the bouncer whats up and he just stood there and STARE at the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit while he kept on dancing, oblivious to all. WTF?? yl, ange and i just stood and stare..and suddenly he moved near xl(who was sitting n sms-ing) and immediately we sprang into action and grabbed her and GO. however, the guy i approached appeared to have recovered from his "blurness" and sugested that we move away from the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit and dance near them for protection instead. but we were bent on getting out of the dance floor (the guy looks kinda cute in the dark though..haha)...anyway...the conclusion is...there are NO knights in shining armour in the world(not the cute guy, nor the bouncer who is a the-matrix-morpheaus look alike) and girls gotta help themselves out. thank u very much. oh yes..as for the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit ..may he rot in hell and find his organs slowly drop out from his anus. amen.

some thoughts to be happy about..

realized that i've been complaining and complaining, all i've written is negativity..am i a pessimistic person?

its undeniable that there's an upside to all i've experienced..and as a change, i shall focus only on POSITIVE events..

1. gradually, but surely, i am getting used to walking in heels all day (though its only been 4 days into my attachment..but i DO walk alot..in train stations..in the office etc..). before, i couldn't stay long in my heels before i get a sprain, blisters or feet ache etc.

2. learning to do proper audit. the hands-on experience i get during the attachment is priceless, and whether you're sent to an audit firm or not, you may not get to touch any audit. this definitely makes the transition from student to a newbie auditor smoother..if i get a job that is..

3. making new friends and "renewing" my friendship with angeline T.

4. get to pry into the confidential information of the companies audited..like how much who gets what wages, what sort of insurance policies etc..

5. get to wear long sleeve to work daily..its an enjoyment for me because i reallie like wearing long sleeves..but no excuse to do so coz of the hot hot hot weather!

6. get to observe/laugh at/sympathise with etc people on the train..its really interesting what kind of expressions people have, what sort of clothes they wear and what they do on the train! haha..juz check out the shirt this guy is wearing!!

7. get to explore every part of offices/factories and get to meet people from all walks of life..daily, i will "bio" this ang moh manager in the firm we're auditing now..haha..so cute!!!

8. make friends with lyon, ms wong's beloved..though only seen him on the bus and train twice, he seems like a great person, and hence i shall give my stamp of approval here..haha! like i'm some big shot?

9. get to climb a ladder today, in order to get to the manymany files stacked up to the top of the racks..phew..a feat for me, coz of my unexplainable fear of heights(cant change any light bulbs in this life..)..but no one can help me, so i just take off my heels, climb up and hold on very very tight.

10. get to flip through files which are on average, 20cm thick..many..many..many times..looking for tinytiny prints...i'm going blind!! haha..but who gets to TOUCH such files man! haha..that would be my hand in the pic..its not the tallest file..its just ONE of the files..wahahahah!

day 3...i'm going blind..

somehow i'm getting used to doing audit, flipping and checking multiple document simultaneously, doing OT daily, and getting up while its still dark..is this what being a full fledge working adult is like? it seems terribly mundane to me..waking up, having a lonely breakfast, ong journey to work, looking forward to lunch, moe work, travel home, dinner..zzZzz..when then do i get to do the things i love? taking my time in the toilet, sleeping for more than 8 hours, reading my trashy romance novels, seeing my friends daily, meeting up with pals...helppp!!!

today we had packed CHAR SIEW rice instead of the usual cai fan..a nice change..but we were all envious of the office lady outside who was digging into her malay rice..slurrrp..

day 2..zZZz..

becoming a lazy and hateful bugger..omg..being late is becoming a nasty habit for me..a vicious cycle which i cant get out of..2 days in a row man! i'm gettin soo out of hand..somehow i just lost my sense urgency..truly, i am the kind of person who hates to wait and now, increasingly, i am making people wait for me! am i turning into something i loathe? its time to kick the bad habit..having said that, i'm determined to leave the house at 7.30am tmr!

something fishy..there's this lady sitting next to me on the train and i'm not very sure if she SELLS fish or she just BOUGHT fish..but she sure smells like one. ok, maybe she's unaware..i shall not ji4 jiao4 about it..but in addition to smelling fishy, she keeps overlapping into my personal space! not only is she ALREADY sitting onto my AREA (CLEARLY demarcated), she keeps elbowing me and couldn't stop figiting(hmm..can't spell it)!! take a sip of her 100plus, pack her bag..adjust her plastic bags, check that her fish or whatever she bought is still alive/warm/upright etcetc..all done with much elbowing..why auntie..why!!

packed cai fan 2 days in a row..how many more days to go?

ask me ask ME

í have been dying to ask this question for ages..do i have the "i have a GREAT sense of direction" face? people seem to lurvve asking me for directions when i am a "lost" person..within 10 min today, 2 people ask me which train to take to commonwealth/little india..though i was blasting my mp3 and had on my "ever-unfriendly" face..why..why..why? lucky for them i pointed in the right direction..

day one, at moores rowland

have you ever seen a file at least 50cm tall?
i touched one today man. omg..a 3 month general ledger(GL) file is THAT big. haha its day 1 of my attachment and half of my fears came true. being even lower than a junior auditor, i was in charged of all things non-crucial. In short, i was doing no-brainer tasks (which i am actually quite glad of) which i got stuck with for the entire day (damn sian..i'll be back to it again tmr..), sitting in a stuffy room (my colleague, a guy, seem to like stale air) which is located in...*drumsroll*...T U A S. How ironic life is..where juz 2 days ago, i packed all my barang barang n moved out of hall..damn! thankfully, we'll only be at the client's for about 2 weeks..heng arh..

about my task..
my job was to randomly pick material transactions and make sure the invoices tally with the GL entries. i guess that was to prevent fraud. in order to locate the invoices, i had to walk around and around and around the office multiple times..in killer heels..and no sense of direction..

about the team..
in total, there is supposed to be about 5 people in the team, but only 3 were present. eileen(whom i suspect is a malaysian..), the most senior out of the 3 was the patient and more experienced one who allocated tasks to us for today. the other guy, a chinese national called Petros (yes..when i sum up the courage, i WILL ask about the name). he happened to be more senior than me, for about 2 days..haha..yet, he was doing auditing while i was.....well....and the team leader is an indian national who looks suspiciously like one of the debaters from SR..hmm..the last person, not too sure is a guy or girl, will be joining us the following week..guess u would have noticed, that the team seems to be a multi-national 1..well..though its just the first day of work, at least there is nobody who has the kind of face i can't stand (and my good friends will know, i cannot stand aLOT of faces..) meanwhile, i look forward to another work day,because if i walk the same amount everyday like i did today, i will lose about 5kg by jan.

wher is harry potter?

who want to watch harry potter with me huh? am i the only one who hasn't watch? and chicken little too!!so cuteeEeee!

first sight of urban singapore in 1 month

wheeeeeeeeeee!

finally, the dreadful exams are over..time to discard any fear of valuation/risk/strategy/retail until third week of dec(wher results will be out n i shall cut my wrists exactly according to how pomelo pam described to me..)...and start worrying about my attachment starting from monday 21st nov..anyone who is very free and generous, please feel free to meet me for lunch. or dinner. most likely supper coz likly to have OT...yucks..and the pay is PEANUTS. hence, i am a charity n pls feel free to treat me to many meals.

well, anyway, my feet are aching right now, and i totally love it!!! spent a day WALKING. haha!! thanks to ms wang, who despite being very sick and use up lots and lots of tissue, accompanies me to shop shop shop! not very satisfied with my buys though, coz realised that i only bought a top suitable for PA(attachment)..damn..ultimately, i am still a kid, coz i totally have no IDEA what to buy/wear/match for work! my eyes keep straying towards bright coloured, casual clothes more suitable for orchard than for CBD! AND..grown up clothes are really expensive..(so u see, another reason to hop down n give me a lunch treat!)..

tmr, going m'sia with my parents..hope can KAN3 them abit..haha..and buy lotsa cheap stuff...my feet are so tired that i really need to give them some TLC right now..so..zZzZz...
