f.a.c.t.s

1. I am looking for an assistant to assist me on accounting & administration work.
Requirement: - Familiar with UBS accounting software
- Hardworking, can handle stress well (most important)
I have friends who are interested (due to a well paid BONUS), but after considering the fact that we are FRIEND, I have to reject their application. I mean, when working, I may be sometimes being the 'pain in the butt' person, I expect the best, and you have to be competent. I am afraid our friendship will be different because of it. I have been working alone doing 5 companies accounts and payroll for almost 4 years, if I can do it ALONE, I expect the assistant to be the same. But rest assured, I am a kind person who is willing to share my knowledge.

2. I am being offered to do a freelance accounting job. Still thinking whether to accept it or not since the company has a 5 years backlog! And if I accept the offer, how much is my fee?

3. Some of my students are lazy! They expect me to feed them with solutions! I told them I would like to change the class from Wed to Sat, one student said, "Cikgu, I cant make it because it's my rest day!" I answered, "It's my rest day too, but I sacrifice every Sat for 2 hrs just to teach you!"
If I am not a teacher, I would have said things like, "No wonderlah!" (because she is known among her friends as a lazy bum)

4. One particular student is very demotivated because he cant understand Malay very well. I am giving him a free tutoring just to make sure he excel in accounting subject. I feel responsible if he is not doing well in this subject.

5. I had migraine attack since Sunday. I asked my grandmother to massage my head, and she found that there was a bump on my head. It was painful for the pass 3 days. I am going to monitor if I have another attack whether there is a bump or not.

6. Very busy with closing. Subsidiary in Singapore is being audited at this moment. I haven't finalized the holding and another subsidiary for audit. Insya allah by next week, everything will be ready for the director's to review.

7. In end of June, I'll be applying the chartered accountant license. I am excited but afraid at the same time.

8. My boss asked me when am I going to attend 'human being' course. What he meant was course on employee's behavioral. OMG, I hate psychology! He suggested it because I really can't stand doing Human Resource related matters especially handling troubled staff. Troubled as in they simply come in late, MCs/emergency leave every few weeks, making their on sorts of rules!

9. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to attend the course in April in Singapore. Busy,busy,busy!

10. Sending my car for major service this Fri. From the last service,as far I remembered there were a long list that I wanted to highlight. In the end, I only have 4 items to mention! (where the heck is the list!!!!)

11. I have submitted my income tax via e-filling. I am waiting for my refund.

12. Oh, one of my best buddy (GIBB) is getting married this Fri after Fri's prayer. I am taking leave just for the event!

13. I met my old personal trainer, Awan @ Giza. Just can't wait to try out the new True Fitness @ Kota Damansara.

wah, I didn't realize there are so many facts about my life! ha....
last but not least...................

14. WE are planning for NEXT YEAR!!! *blush*

saloma in the house

Migraine attack since yesterday. The last attack was somewhere after CNY holidays. Yesterday was the worst attack (yes! i measure each attac) Since the migraine will last 4 to 72 hrs, today I planned to take MC. But due to the year end closing of accounts and salary, well WORK is my priority. So today I came to work looking like Saloma (that's what my colleague said) Luckily, I am only sensitive to photo phobia, the rest of the symptoms are under control.

Shutters closed, too bright for my eyes to absorb the lights.

Ok, back to work. Busy, busy, busy!

Eyjafjallajökull

Recent news on the volcanic eruption in Iceland makes me wonder only one thing, not on the matter of the natural disaster but on how those effected re-arrange their life.
Due to the microscopic debris from the volcano, it is nto safe to fly a plane. Most airlines canceled their flights and passengers were stranded at the airport, some clueless, for not knowing what to do.
When I look back at the situation, since I am here in Malaysia, I wish it was me who got stranded in a strange land probably in France or any part of Europe.
But it's no fun for those who has datelines and has to go back as scheduled. For the Malaysian students who came back for the Easter break, they are worried about their upcoming exams and the extra classes and assignments datelines. I read that, some only can fly back to London on 2 May.
One of my independent director is stuck in London on a business trip. He said this is no fun at all as he has meetings to attend as per scheduled and the expenses is doubling. (but boss, you are rich, is money an issue to you? :-))

apa benda aku merepek sebenarnya?

Actually I wanted to point out something. Do you realize that Iceland using a different language? It is called an Icelandic Language-->the language of Iceland, retains an inflectional grammar.
So when the volcano erupted in Iceland called Eyjafjallajökull-->how to pronounce it?
It seems that Iceland's are laughing at the world for miss-pronouncing Eyjafjallajökull.

munch2

Ni lah keuntungan kalo dah kerja dalam industry capital market. Setiap kali the analysts/director attended briefing, ada je benda2 free yang diorg dapat. Few years back, pernah diorg attended briefing kat Phillip Morris--cigarettes stock for few months! Pernah gak kitorg dapat stock gula2 dari CocoLand. Kebetulan sejak my bos meninggal, kitorg dah ada pengganti. First time dapat lady boss! Tak tau lah macam ne perasaan keje dgn lady boss ni. Tapi, so far dia mmg sangat best! Hari tu dia belanja I makan sebab lulus exam unit trust. ha3. Dia gak suka beli munchies taruk kat pantry. Kitorg ni semuanya pantang ada benda makanan diletak kat pantry. Biarlah sepuluh kali pun kena berulang alik ke sana, sanggup tu semata2 nak makan munchies yang dia beli.
Ni munchies kitorg dapat free-->ada mamee, mister potato, double decker...

mmm

malas bergaya

My colleague ambil gambar ni masa I tengah sibuk. Maaf ni bukan gambar syok sendiri. ha3 Ni lah dia waktu kalut. Minggu depan dah nak audit untuk subsidiary di Singapore. Auditor kat sana lak macam mereng. I hantar email banyak kali tak de jawapan. Terpaksalah I contact diorang. Rupanya baru tukar Audit Manager, tu yang diorg sibuk semacam. I dengan tegas menyatakan, nak audit minggu depan. Tak sangka lak minggu depan tu 'just a blink of the eyes'. Cepat benar. Kebetulan isu directorship kat sana tak settle lagi. Yelah kan, bos baru meninggal, kebetulan he was the sole director for the subsidiary. Pening tau!
Bila tengah waktu kalut ni, rasa macam sotong pun ada. Selalu bayangkan ada sepuluh tangan untuk melakukan perlbagai kerja dalam satu masa. ha2.. nak buat gaji lagi, nak buat payments lagi, nak closing lagi, nak layan karenah colleagues, nak menjawab persoalan itu ini!
Korang tunggu lah. I punya target Consolidation akan siap by early June. Submission 30 June.
Lepas tu I nak cuti sebelum start reporting half-yearly.
Terasa rindu masa zaman part time study dulu. Waktu2 macam ni lah nak final. ha2 bayangkanlah. Sanggup tiap2 hari balik lambat semata2 nak siapkan accounts. Dengan nak final exam lagi. Fuh... satu pengorbanan..

The Look

too funky

I have a corporate photo shoot this Wednesday. And I realize that my wardrobe is full with blacks, browns, and some white and green and purple. I sent a survey to geng emo & my best friend. 3 out of 4 suggested I wear black-->which is a corporate look. he2.

At first I taught I wanted to wear something OUTSTANDING besides the boring black. But since those close to me know me and have seen me in the corporate image, well their opinion matters to me!

So I will stick to black shirts, a gray pants&coat and something colorful for the head scarf. Now the problem is, which black dress?

I'll be wearing something like this

Corporate women's wear gets dressed up

E.M.O.S.I.

Kalo dah nama pun GENG EMO, tentulah geng2 nya sentiasa beremosi... rindu lak kat geng2 emo. Dah lama tak emo macam masa buat part time dulu. ha3

Diva EMOSI

Nak dijadikan cerita, I ni bukan lah orang yang selalu naik hangin dengan rakan2. Tapi kekadang tu, biasalah perempuan kan, angin monsun tu tak kira waktu. Kebetulan pada waktu itu, salah seorang officemate I, buat perangai. Boleh ke patut dia emergency leave padahal dia ada urgent submission on that day! Selamba je dia kasi nama I kat prospect client tu. Jadi secara tak langsung, dah tentulah kena provide information, kalau tak, melayanglah impian nak close deal dari client ni. Yelah, sekali dia nak invest, memang 8 angka! Setahun setengah kitorang tunggu client ni nak kasi duit. Memang angin satu badanlah kan. I ni dahlah sibuk closing for year end. Akhir bulan ni ada audit untuk subsidiary kat Spore, minggu ke dua bulan depan lak audit untuk holding +(local) subsidiary. Tu satu cite.
Disebalik keemosian I dgn officemate, rakan I lak memarakkan api kemarahan I pada hari itu.
Sebenarnya I tak kisahlah dia nak cakap apa2 pun, tapi he doesn't know when to stop! Alkisahnya, dia tanya I masa pergi outstation tempoh hari tu, tak de beli apa2 ke? I jawab mmg tak sempat. I was there working, not sightseeing. Macamlah I tak pergi sana lagi. Dia kata there is no such thing as tak sempat. Boleh dia kata, ke tak de duit nak beli? I apa lagi hangin satu badan. When I said tak sempat, I mean what I said. Bukan I reka2 cerita. Bila I explain, dia dok potong cakap I. Kata macam2. Tulah I pesan, you nak gurau memang boleh. I can take it kalo you gurau2, tapi kalo you tak tahu bila nak berhenti bergurau dan dengar penjelasan, kan aku dah EMOSI. Sebabkan I dah terlampau bengang, I terus tanya dia, "Ko ni nak buat aku marah ke?"
Dia jawab,"Eh, ko marah ke?"
I: Duhh...AKU BYK KEJE NI. KO NK SAKITKAN HATI AKU LAGI KE? DAH. AKU TAK NAK CKP DGN KO! BYE!

I terus letak telefon. Tak sedar I rupanya cakap kuat giler sampai officemate yang lain terdengar perbualan I.



I tau orang yang boleh memahami perasaan emo ni, dah tentulah geng2 emo sendiri dan si dia. I BUZZ Rahman kat Gtalk. Ngadu perasaan kat dia. I tulis, "aku bukannya apa, bengang giler ok. He just doesn't know when to stop!" Rahman faham apa I rasa. Kebetulan si dia pun balik awal masa tu (dia ada exam) I terus mengadu kat dia. si dia suruh I sabar. Memanglah I tengah sabar. nasib baik si dia ni memang faham perangai rakan I tu. Too much betul rakan aku sorang ni!

Esoknya, officemate yang buat hal dengan aku, kena sebijik dengan aku depan boss. Pedulikan. Memang I tengah marah. Mana boleh lepas tangan! Tu tanggungjawab ko! Ko dapat commission bila close deal nanti, ko tau lah aku nak minta setengah dari commission ko!

Kepada rakan I yang menambah api kemarahan I, satu pesanan...hidup ini bagai roda. Setiap yang berada di atas, pasti akan berada di bawah satu hari nanti. (selama ni pun you put me down masa aku kongsi cerita nak apply license chartered accountant...CEMBURU KE?)
