Week 2

Yeah.. Its week 2 and its coming to a close... This whole week is still like orienting for me as i was basically still trying to get accustomed to school life after workin for 10 weeks.. Feel relieved on one hand to be studying as I will have more free time and it is less stressful.. Then had sume cca fair.. Although i din help out muchy but it is encouraging to see so many newco0mers once again.. Cant help but to feel old once again...

Haven heard from my friend from US much except for a mini-msn conversation.. Good to see his blog and know tt he is enjoying himself.. And im slowly getting used to a semester without him..

So it is 18 weeks left... N counting..

week 1 of school

Week 1 is cuming to an end but it seems like im still stuck in my holidae mood... Maybe its the usual first week warm up ba... The only proper thing that i will be doing is probably my first 205 meeting wif mi grpmates... Doing wif completely random people and i hope it will turn out well just like my 202 project.. Had a great time..


Finally heard from my friend tt went exchange.. He is now enjoying in disneyland.. So envious of it.. Hope he will have a great time..


And as usual, i have my bridge sesions.. looks like bridge time is my alternative spot for gossiping as classes have yet to officially begin..So in the meantime, im slacking in hall and enjoying my final break..

Sch00L starting

Tommorow marks officially the first day of a new semester.. Feeling happy as i finally can see everyone once again but sad as well as one of my best pal from ntu has gone on exchange.. Felt totally sad on the day that i went to send him off with 4 of mi classmates.. Tried very very hard to control myself and i succeeded ok.. Din cry at all.. but deep inside me i am feeling sad... but at that instant, everything was just a blank and it just took a while for reality to sink in...

Realli hope that this semester will fly by and it is really a change to attend lessons without him around... But as xy sae.. its only 5 months, which is 2* PA.. So just endure and by the blink of an eye, he should be back..

This 2 weeks has been a crazy one for me.. Played like i haven been playing for years... Chalet.. then ktv, then makan sessions, then shopping... All the way.. N not to forget drama-ing.. Broke my personal record by completing 20 episodes in 2 days.. But now.. Im stuck as no more ep to watch.. Haix.. TT's y i like to wait till the show is complete before watching.. Serves mi right.. Guess tt's the price i have to pay for not enduring till the end..

So tommorow will be 830 as usual... Luckily its onli one class.. to 1130.. then i will be free to slack in hall... Its time to adjust to studying mode once again....

Week 10

Finalli the moment i have been waiting for... An end to working life.... Suddenli i begin to appreciate studying more... Its a completely different feeling to be in the working world. Although today is my last official working day, I am happi but also sad as it will mean that i have to say my goodbyes to my mgr who has been a very kind and nice person... I completely enjoyed the time i am under her...


Today, i finalli went for my second long lunch.. Lasted almost 1.5 hours. Went to the thai cafe that i like in tanjong pagar and ate my favourite green curry.. Still tasted as nice as before and i realli enjoyed the nice and creamy curry...


In summary, internship is a nice experience, but an audit profession can be quite tedious and quite tolling on yr lifestyle and health.. May even require sacrifices as you are just too busy for anything else.. Although i have gained an additional opportunity to try out at another audit firm, i have also lost something.. In my opinion, albeit how freedom this career may be and no matter how good the welfare/ work-life balance is, it is inevitable that you will still have to burn oil over your work.. This is something that i realise over the 10 weeks..


The next question on my mind is: will i come back 1 year later after graduation??? I seriousli do not know and im trying to ensure that i will be able to reach a decision that i will live by...

So meanwhile i will chill and enjoy the remaining two weeks of holidays before term starts again...

Week 6

Finalli im into week 6 of this tedious internship.. Feel realli worn out and tired.. N it just doesnyt help when everything else in your life also crumbles to a stop.. Last week was quite a bad week initialli as on monday, i made a decision that was painful but yet necessary... I decided to end my relationship with my gf after 2.5yrs... It wasnt a bad break in the sense as we were both amicable about it.. But just felt lousy and abit sad.. So tuesday was totalli a pms dae for mi.. totalli no mood to work and time just seem to be soooo slow... Fortunately, i manage to ahve a dinner appointment with my best khakis from ntu and through the dinner and ice-cream dessert, i managed to cheer up and look at things from a broader perspective.. But thurs and fri was bad.. My senior was on off and i was left alone at the client's place to do audit.. Although there was no stress at all as i have the power to plan my own schedule, but being alone at a job wasnt a perfect choice for mi on that week.. Felt realli loneli... So i decided that thurs was a haf dae and i knocked off at 430 pm to go back to school.. Felt so happi... The earliest time so far to knock off..

Then its mj as usual on both thurs and friday.. Feels good to mj to destress and forget about the unhappy things in life.. I have run away from reality for the past week but i guess its time to wake up and move on with mi life... N hopefulli find my better half..

RE: week 4

This week is a horrendous week.. F1nalli made mi hate audit and want to seriousli think trice about gg to work in the audit profession.. Worked like crazy this week.. WSith one dae hitting the 11pm mark and another dae at 930.. Sad to sae but there's NO ot pay for such overtime work.. So i realli feel like i am cheaper than a Bangala worker..

N I realli feel tt i cant stand hypocrites or peoplw who are so bossy and fake.. One such person is the mgr in charge of this job i am in.. Completely feel disgusted at her behaviour and the way she looks at people when she toks.. Completely feel like she is looking down on people.. N they expect to be flattered with drinsketc.. So feel like i am a coffee uncle in the pantry.. One such incident is when mi senior ask us out of goodwill if we wanted green tea and we were "automatic" and said no as she was busy.. But this mgr sae she wants and she expects it to be made for her.. OMG... I am an auditor NOT a coffee/drinks uncle.. From tt dae on, i have discounted her by 50% and i realli dislike such persons.. Completely peeves mi off..


But there's another category of person called the "partners" aka the big shots who also expect to be served but i can understand as they are quite high ranked and do have such svc in office.. But at least they bother to sae thank you.. tt's call courtesy and although it is a simple thank you but it will just make yr dae..

So basicalli this partner although he expects drinks, he at leasts sae thank you which i feel is basic courtesy.. Dislike people who compeltely have no sense of courtesy...

But friday was the slackest dae.. HAd nothing much to work on as had to wait for client to pass stuff... So slacked the whole dae and even had time to arrange for bridge competition on saturday.. Met zr and xy and alexas for dinner.. Dunno y but it justs feel relaxing and happi to be out with them.. Seeing them makes mi happy and light in mood.. And sat is bridge as usual from 230 to bout 11.. Then went to watch euro and mj at fren's place... What a nice way to spend the weekend.. And now it is sun le.. tml have to go work.. feelin depressed....

Week 3

Its week 3 into internship le... N i begin to realise how good life is as a student.. We get holidaes, rest, TV time, gossip time, mj time etc etc.. But now when u start working, everything seems to be swollowed away and what's left is just work work and work... Beginning to feel that i am tired of work... N its audit again.. Wanted to reassure myself tt mi previous stint at a big four is an exception.. But now, although life is betta, but the feeling is coming back again.. that of mi not realli liking audit..

Tink it is realli high time that i begin to seriousli contemplate whether i will like to do audit once i graduate.. But at the moment, there is one otehr alternative for me. That i continue to study.. I feel realli tempted to continue further mi studies but i realli dunno if everyone else will be tt supportive..


So at the moment, i am totalli clueless and confused. Hopefulli i can come to a decision soon when next year comes.. Meanwhile, im slacking in office rite now.. Completed mi work le... N will move on to client palce next week... So its bye raffles place and hello teban gardens again...

Look forward to the weekend.. Packed but enjoyable.. Will be busi feasting.. hahaa.. So wish all of ya will also enjoy yr weekend...

Another Slack Dae in Hall.

After so much about the KL trip, lets take a break from it... First on the topic list.. MAnchester United beat chelsea in the UEFA champion league finals 6-5 on penalties... Hurray and red devils rox.. But sadli i din get to watch the match.. Was too lazy to get back to hall to watch it and din want to go to a bridge club fren house to watch as had to work the next dae and din want to see tt guy.. Aniwae, heard from the people who went, our "planner" screwed things up for the second time.. He actualli went to mention about the SJI... N there goes our dear adrin hard work in concealing the whole event.. But other than that, the whole dae went smooth with no new event.. So ya, i missed out on a great opportunity to watch the UEFA champion league finals..

But yesterdae was a great dae.. Went to work as per normal and after work, came back to school for post work activity.. Guess u all shld noe what tt"activity" is... Quite fun and peaceful and we went for supper after tt.. But abit sad though as mi roomie is now sick... So he went back to sleep...

N todae was an excellent dae.. I finalli noe how luxurious it is to be able to sleep till 12pm and wake up.. It is undescribable.. Then went for pool and movie with some friends... I strongli urge u guys nt to watch Indiana Jones.. It is realli crappy and it is just so so exaggerated.. As one of mi fren said " they can fire all the bullets they want, but no one dies of a bullet shot in tt movie"... So watch at your own risk...


Tml is just gg to be another busi dae.. Have to go tuition before meeting up wif mi gf... Haven seen her for quite long le.. So tts all and chill out and enjoy the weekend...

KL trip continued

Besides those ultra embarrassing moments, nice trip.. Had nice food everyday.. Too bad we din manage to take pictures of the food that we ate at the food street.. I felt like i was at the imperial banquet.. So many dishes and basically u will eat eat eat and still eat... At the end of the dae, all the talk about losing weight ( u noe who u are) will just go down the drain... Cos the food is soooooo nice... Especially the yam dessert that some of them bought.. super nice.. Too bad i was too bloated le.. so din try it.. Sad..

Aniwae, contrary to people's expectation, i din manage to get much stuff at all.. So at the end of the dae, this trip is basically makan cum gossip trip.. But i realli had fun..

Shant tok so much.. Here's the first instalment of the photos...

KL trip part 2

Besides those scandalous moments, the trip was nice and enjoyable.. brought all of them walk walk and makan... If one was to go KL< these are the few places that you should visit:

1) For great food at affordable prices: Jalan Alor food street. The sambal string ray is nice and the frog leg porridge is smooth and flavorful.. The thai zhi char is nice too and is affordable.. One can have a feast ( if go in big grp) at barely $10 a person.

2) Nice starbucks: The one at BB plaza.. I dont noe why but i have been a fan of this starbucks since the first time i went KL.. everytime will indulge in at least a cup a day when i am in KL.. N i will add extra shots of espresso.. Coffee never feels this good..

3) Shopping: My favourite and most expertise..

- for cheap imitations: Chinatown.. Nowadays, it is becoming like bangkok.. Imitations also have grading systems.. AAA grade for the best and made in korea and normal grade for those made in china..

- afforadable shopping: Lot 10, Berjaya times square, BB plaza, quicksilver at jalan bukit bintang ( this store is 2 storey worth).

-up-end shopping: KLCC ( but it has apparently downgraded.. It now has stores like espirit, oakley, quicksilver as well. Even G2000 is there). The new up market mall is Pavilion. Truly upend.. A LV building on its own.. N it has boutiques like ralph lauren, CK, burberry, tough jeans.. But it do have wallet friendli stores like GAP too..

I will upload photos when it is given to me.. So meanwhile, make do with the wordy stories...

KL trip!!!

Yes!! I went for a KL trip on saturday to monday... So happy to be gg on a second trip wif mi roomie and my first with my bridge ppl cum mj khakis..

The trip was fun filled and enjoyable.. Except for a few face throwing moments.. the 3 worst incidents that i have encountered:

Ranked third: Trying to ask for a discount as a child when you are already 20+ this year. This is ranked third as it happened on the first dae and we decide to laugh it off as a joke.. But it was nt meant to be as we thought.

Ranked second: Going to KFC and ask for upsize. But refuse to pay for the upgrade and instaed pester for a discount.. This is almost the ultimate stun.. How much does KFC costs?? and still need discount for upsize when it is just mere few ringgit?? I dont noe.. But this is definitely nt the first as there is still the best of all....


***********Drumroll*************


Ranked first: Incident at KLCC. this incident occurred at KLCC.. Not just one incident but a couple of incidents.. First, Plonking your fat butt on the floor of a boutique whilst waiting for your friends.. OMG!!! I realli wanted to ignore that person who did this.. But i tolerated and tolerated till it hit the final snag..

The person was shopping at a shop called Con*****... He saw a pair of slippers and decide to try it on.. Since he did nt plonk his butt on the floor, i was relieved and the rest of us decide to start shopping.. We were done first so decide to wait for him outside.. But this smart alerk decide to be funni and approach mi at the shop entrance to ask mi a 100% utterli shocking question.. He asked: Jason, u mean at KLCC, we cant "cut price" and ask for discount!! I tot i heard wrongli and it took a while to digest.. But yes, that guy was bargaining at KLCC and he asked mi this question at the shop entrance damn loudli whent he staff was already staring at us!! Utterli disgraceful and i felt so lost for words.. totalli shocked.. so i told him no u cant.. N Thats nt the end..

He wanted to re-enter the shop after all he has done to buy the slipper!!! Luckily, My roomie sprang to action and asked him a question that made him not re-enter the shop.. Felt totalli relieved that he was nt gg to enter that shop.. But mi mood was spoilt and the level shops was a no-go for mi as i was totalli embarrassed...

N i am not making all this up.. This is all done by the same person and within the 3D2N of mi KL trip.. Made mi trip more laughable as i had things to gossip about.. But as a victim of his ridiculous actions, i don tink i can laugh that freely..

RE: Im back to bl00ging

Finalli i have the t1me and luxury to be maintaining this blog again.. It has been a hectic semester... Now i am curretly on attachment week 2...

Last week was a fun filled week.. Started mi attachment at Pwc... Training... Training .. Training.. That's all that greeted me for the first 3 daes.. Then finalli, on the fourth dae, i went out to do auditing.. It wasnt as terrorising as mi first encounter during my poly days and definitely auditing is more fun than before. then came friday and mi long weekend.. Love the long long weekend as it indicates the beginning of mi KL trip on saturday.. the trip is definitely few times more crazy and explosive than mi previous trips with mi frens.. I will tok about tt separately..

Then todae, it is back to work.. Busy is the word i can use to disturb mi schedule.. Reasonableness tests, vouching.. everything just keep coming... N came the moment.. I had to request for documents from the staff and i spoke to Miss valerie... And just as i was into it, the finance mgr, i shall call her miss Stef****, decide to explode and accuse mi of making them do double work.... It was definitely embarrassing and my blood boil at the thought of it as i was actualli trying to make things simpler for them.. N so u can guess what mi reaction was and what i did... I shant sae more...

My CNY!!

This cny has been a fulfilling one for me.. Although i did not have much time to mj ( onli once), it was fun as i was busi with many things..

On the eve, i went for my reunion dinner... This year is the first time i spent reunion dinner outside home but i have absolutely no complaints.. The food was up to my standard with my favourite lo hei, chicken and dessert... No complaints at all although i have yet to eat my favourite dish.. I keep tt to next week... One thing i disliked initially- onli 1.5hr to eat.. Although tt seems quite short, it is definitely enough for mi to slurp all my food down.. i even had to remind myself to slow down..

The first dae of cny.. Slacked at home initially to watch HK drama... Then had a last min arrangement for mj.. Hahahaa.... And so there goes y first dae of cny...

The second dae was spent out with my gf as i onli woke up at 11am!!! one thing nice about cny is no one will wake mi up from my slumber as everyone is also sleeping.. Went to her place to do visiting and then pop by her colleagues place before we went for a movie at lido.. The one most disastrous movie one can watch this cny goes to "Ah long pte ltd".. It was soooooo boring and the jokes were crappy and recycled.. Din liked the movie at all...

The third dae was spent outside at my ntuc friends house.. we met for potluck and played blackjack... N then we went for a movie at marina... This time round, the movie is soooo nice that i would not mind watching the second time.. It was the jay chou movie... It was nice and enjoyable although the stuns were abit too exaggerated.. After the movie, went shooping and i busted another 40 bucks on a polo... hahaaaa.. Then we went for dessert at cartel..

Todae is slack as basically i went to my nanny's place to pai nian.. spent teh whole afternoon there playing with kids... N i tell you, kids these daes have nice toys... PSP, Ds etc.... OMG... at mere 2-3 yr old... speechless...

Its back to school tml le... completely no mood for school yet... but too bad, i have been slacking too much and work is piling up...

RE Happi Dae

Todae was finalli a day where i could breathe easy.. Been rushing through the past two daes with all My tutorials and iMproMptu presentations... So finalli coMes todae when i went out for the first tiMe this week to do My hair... Spent a total of 4 hours at the shop trying to settle this revaMped new look for the cny.. When it was finalli done, abit shocked... I aM crying out for My hair...... But then, as i looked at it, the More satisfied i becaMe and soon i gt over it and began to do My fave activity... SHOOPING!!!!!


Decided not to shop at orchard todae.. So after grabbing My cny goodies for tMl visitations ( as i don do visiting durin cny itself) i headed down to novena square... Such a big Mall, but sad to se, nothing for us guys.. The onli place i spent More than 15Min was at the korean superMarket where i stocked up on korean instant noodles!!! looks yuMMy and teMpting.. It is My MuMs desperate atteMpt to Make Mi eat breakfast and so i guess i can request for alMost anything.. Muahahahaaa...

Other than that, todae was another plain dae.. But at least i slacked the whole dae.. TMl will be another rest dae after My 2hr seMinar!!

Start of school

It has been a month since i blogged... Totalli been too busy to blog.. With my bithda celebrations, xmas gatherings and new year outings.. This year celebrations have died down as i totally had no mood to go out.. Reduced the number to the barest possible.. Guessed i have been going out to frequently till gg out no longer appeals to mi..

The past month was basically spent on sh00ping,dramas and more dramas.. This year, I am efficient and have completed my cny clothing shooping by mif=d december, a feat that has nvr been achieved before.. Even mi mum is amazed...

So with no more stuff to buy plus i am saving to go for exchange, I decided to reduce number of outings so as to reduce temptations... But time flies and now school has started.. In week two liao but still haven got over the holidae mood.. Todae was the first day that i officially tried to read the readings before class and i am glad i din fall asleep...

This two weeks of school has been fun so far, meeting classmates i have not seen for quite sum time and having lunch gatherings and birthdae celebrations.. N of course gossips... Latest on our list, girls classification of guys s clean or dirty??? Till now i still cannot figure out what that means...

Can anyone enlighten mi??
