I seem to be busier after i resigned… Well, my jobless life goes like these:

Went to Adventist Hosp. for check up by ENT(ear nose & throat) doctor… i’ve been suffering sinus infection (sinusitis) for ages ago…. well, my parents finally cant tahan d, asked me to go for check up since i was having flu for a week & still cant recover.  Oops… the doctor that we planned to see no longer there, heard tat he has resigned a few weeks go, so we go for another doctor… Since i was having flu at that moment, of cos my condition will be worse than usual.. The doc asked why came to him so late, i should hv get it treated long time ago… my ‘ENT’ all was block.. haha… i was having sore throat 2 days b4, for sure my throat wont looked so well… keep on sneezing, for sure the infection will go till ears… then for my nose, its definitely block lo……. after that, the doc gave me 2 shot of the nasal spray… wow, the spray look like a gun! oh man….. when the doc ask me to take a deep breath, he took a 1st shoot…. argh…. i can feel a strong & speedy liquid get into my nose… smth like u breath in the water, but in this case, it’s much more faster & just suffer awhile ly la… then given 2 types of nasal spray & medic for a full week + vitamin C…. 3 weeks later, hv to follow up again~

Exam again~~~

It’s around the corner~~~~~ No, can be said as just a day left…. Time to sit for exam again.

I dont think i can make it this time. The nearer is the exam, the lesser my motivation to study.

Why? hm…. dont ask me, i couldn’t find the answer too…

Last time a lecturer of mine did tell me b4, try to complete ur ACCA b4 u start to work, bcos a lot of ppl will lost their study mood once working, n will be very tiring too…

i do agree, but when i was working last week, i keep on thinking that i don hv enough time to study, i want to go homw to study… but when given 2 days of study leave today, where the mood has gone? feel very demotivated…. when can i complete my ACCA? is it possible?

no 1 can pass the paper easily without putting effort on it, this i know, i do believe n understand it…. but……… *speachless*

最近凌晨的我

近来在我入睡前我都会感到友一种不安的感觉。。。一天比一天还要担心。。。

每当关灯睡觉时都会觉得有点难过。感觉到：哎。。。就这样一天就过去了。。。 为何还没找到工呢？虽然目前不只我一人还没找到，当然也还有朋友跟我一样在找着。 难过的是另一些人也陆陆续续的开工了，而我还是呆在家等消息。。。

以前还会说朋友：工是要努力的找，而不是坐在家等工找上门。但自己还不是一样傻傻呆在家等消息。有啦，有在努力的找啦~~~ 只是有点衰，年尾遇到连连几次的公共假期 – 圣诞节，回历元旦和新年。圣诞节后的那一天申请了一两个，但很多人都放假，哪有空去理我呢？很好的理由吧？？？但这些都是屁啦~~~都是自我安慰的烂理由。。。

但有一个无可否认的是朋友叫我式申请她在作的公司，但她那个manager真的在我申请的隔天clear leave到今天朋友还没机会见到她~~~ 这个是够衰了吧！从我递出第一个申请信到今天，看来现在是第三个星期了吧~~~ 真糟糕！

这几天才给哥哥和朋友说而已。哥哥说为何那么坚持要申请tax,干吗不要找一些会计工来做然后才慢慢的等机会。我也想啊~但那些工厂都急着裁员，还要请人吗？气死他的是我还说假如要申请MNC,里面有那么多不同的会计职位，我真的不知要怎样选呢~~~他给了我一个超‘吊’的回答：申请全部不就行了吗！很好的答案，难道要我在信里写说有什么工就给我吗? 还是十个职位申请十次？我真的不会呢~~~又不讲好要如何~~~

昨天跟朋友 打球时，我也告诉他我也在找tax的工，好难找哦~还要看那公司的地点，因为你们知道啦我驾车技术是多么的有限，那么久没开车，当然要去的地方也有限咯~~~说真的我只会驾去PTPL上课而已呢~~~ 他听了后就开始 K 我了。。。 他说：”在那么坏的经济下你还要选东选西呀，有工就偷笑了啦~~~“ 哈哈…他说的也对啦。

以前读书时曾经想过在工作前要休息个够才出去当‘阿四’。。。看来老天真的给我休息个够呢，甚至开始怕了。。。原本想在开工前下 KL 和那边的朋友聚一聚，但现在没找到工，根本没那心情去玩呢~~~

还有，以前根朋友计划说等一起毕业后，出国拿holiday visa 四处去打工拿经验和玩玩。爸妈听了后还很开心的鼓励我出去见识见识，幸好当时我也告诉他们我们只是随便说说而已啦~~~ 如我所说，现在各有各忙~~~ Ida NZ 回来， HX 就快要去 NZ 了，Ida 新年后又要回Aus…. 唉~ sienz~~~ 还是乖乖当大马‘阿四’吧~~~

Ah Xin 的毕业典礼

08 年 11 月 08日 （星期六 ）

其实这一天是一个非常值得纪念的日子 – 我终于毕业了~~~

没有继续degree, advanced 就是我近期的毕业典礼了。 假如不去参加，爸妈不知要等到几时才可以看到他们的女儿戴四方帽了。 ACCA 的毕业典礼？ 看来没那么快吧。。。 那四张恶梦不知几时才要离我远去。。。 ：（

还记得， 在最后一个学期时， 朋友们都和我一样。。。 期待着毕业典礼的到来。 多担心不能和大伙儿一起同时毕业呢。。。当成绩出时还是很高兴和期待。但由于毕业典礼的日期距离蛮远，期待的那一份心也渐渐地减少了。那些比较亲近的T.Villa几个死党们还没毕业，又不能和他们一起享受这开心的一刻，再加上当时距离ACCA的考试也蛮近了，所以当时还想不要去呢。。。但这只是想想而已啦，哪里忍心让爸妈失望呢。

在父母的心里，可以看到孩子毕业是多么的安慰和值得骄傲啊。。。哥哥因为在外地工作不能参加他的毕业典礼，爸妈已经失去了最美好的一刻， 我怎能舍得让他们再次失望呢(虽然我没像哥哥那么棒)。。。再仔细想想，其实一个普通人能有几次毕业典礼呢？来来去去又不就是那几次咯。。。我相信假如这次没参加，我可能会后悔呢。。。像我酱爱拍照留念的人怎能舍得不要去呢。。。 虽然没有毕业前想象中那么高兴，但可以见见朋友也是件开心事啦。。。

这次吉隆玻之旅也不错啦。也蛮久没和家人出去玩玩了。天天呆在槟城也没什么节目搞。。。 可以和爸妈及姑姑们去云顶玩也不错啦~~~

Vegetarian Food Fair

02 Nov 2008 – Tzu Chi Annual Vegetarian Food Fair

As usual, Tzu Chi will be having a big charity jumbo sales every year. but this year they have postponed it till November. My mom was waiting for this day for quite a period already. Few months ago she already asked me to check out with my god bro them who were members in the charity association about the date of the fair because she wanted to apply leave and be the volunteer to help them. But unfortunately, when the roaster was out, she has to work on both the days she applied for. This is because she has asked for 4 days leave in the following weekends to attend my convo in KL. As a result, she couldn’t ask for so many leaves for continuous weekends as other people might also want to rest on weekends…

As i previously have promised my god bro that my mom will be going to help, so now, i’m the one to go for help. Luckily my god mom (mummy) was there with me… Well, in 01 Nov we have to be there by lunch time. When we reached there, i saw a lot of ShiXiong ShiJie them were busy here and there. They were already there early in the morning. After a short briefing, we have to start cleaning the space and set up our stalls. This year, our stalls are located in Dewan Terbuka… Many groups of people were setting up their own stalls under one roof.

So some of us starts to clean the floor, some of us went to register to collect chairs and tables, as well as tablewares… Our group in charged different kind of stuff. Some sells spaghetti, sushi, soft toys, cookies and etc. We took quite a long time to set up the stalls for soft toys. Because we have limited tables and there are lots of soft toys there, we keep on changing the way we arrange the toys until we managed to display all the toys in the way which people easy to see and take.

It’s already 6 in the evening. ShiXiong ShiJie were busy hanging up the banner.

6 smth, it’s still very messy~~~ some other group of people already finished and went back, and we still haven’t settle ours… my god sis and mummy still searching for the best way to arrange those soft toys.

Finally complete at 8pm++ and ready to go home~~~

Here comes the next day. All the volunteers are encourage to get there earlier and prepared. We reached there around 6am smth. Some might be earlier because those selling food have to be ready for sales by 7am smth to all volunteers. This is the time where volunteers take their meal and buy their stuff before the fair started as everyone will be very busy serving people when it’s started and have no time to buy for their own.

This is one of the stalls in our group, selling ‘Totila’, it’s a kind of food tat looks like kebab.

This is sushi stall, also within the same group.

It’s just 1pm, lots of things ald been sold out. The 500packs keropok and cookies that i helped to sell already sold out at 11am… so we took over some souvenir from the soft toys stall and help them to sell… around 3pm smth we started to clear up our stall.

It was a tiring but memorable day for me. It was a big day for Tzu Chi as well as to public. But i still have certain friends who don’t know bout this. By the time i told them bout this, it was too late. I hope that if next year have chance to have a big day again, i’ll inform them and get them involve in this meaningful day.

Morning walk at Botanical Garden

SUPPRISE!!! i went for a morning walk? impossible rite? i also feel so… but 50% is kena force 1 la. my cousin sms me yesterday, asking me whether wanna go for jogging at botanical garden on this morning, cos her mum aeroplane her. since i got nth to do this morning so…… i say OK….

Nah… showing u the main gate of Botanical Garden, to prove that i really been there this morning… hehe… actually i love sports very much but i dont like hiking and jogging. when ppl ask me to join them for hiking or jogging i usually will reject them with the reason: my legs ald so short, it will getting shorter if i walk too much… hahaha…. we reached there around 8 smth, 1st we take a big round of warm up then my cousin started to jogged, as i said i don like to jog, so i just go for a walked for the 2nd round – so called ‘morning walk’… hahaha… while walking around enjoying the scenery and catching some fresh breath, i captured quite a lot of pics…

Put a mattress on the shady grasslands, u can imagine urself holidaying in oversea d… haha….

Since today is public holiday, quite a lot of people there… some having their family day there….

1 of the family caching fish in the river…

i heard the children shouting ‘got fish got fish, i got it’

i think he got some ‘ikan bilis’ la… hahaha

i feel that there’s a heart shape in this pic. it’s incomplete la..

but dunno any1 of u can get it or not…

it needs some imagination… hehe

The pics that cant be short of,

That’s Me and my cousin….

Bye-bye…. Lao Gao…..

i’ll visit u next time~~~

After that we went for our brunch at Gurney — Mr. Pot Cafe…. i took chicken curry with toast, and share Kaya Cheese Toast with my cousin, she ordered dunno wat wat fried rice. we reached around 10am but her fried rice was served at 11am… i think the waiters knew that she wanna hv tat as her lunch so they purposely served her the fried rice later… in between, we reminded the waiters for twice that our order still lacking a plate of fried rice. for the second time, the 1 we told was the boss i think. i think there was a miscommunication, by the time i finally finished my chicken curry with toast, the waiter served me with another bowl of chicken curry and toast. i gonna fainted tat time as i was very fulled d…. we told the waiters that we ald have it. when the waiters take back to the counter, i saw another Kaya cheese toast was ready to be served… if not mistaken, i think that 1 also gonna serve to us 1… i told my cousin even it’s free, i also couldn’t take any piece of toast anymore…

Where is my next staion?

Is everyone going to leave soon? where will be my next station?

hx called me this evening, telling me tat she had quit her studies in limkokwing and she will further her studies in either Aus or UK (if not mistaken) next yr…

heard tat kh will be leaving to taiwan too, maybe next yr… she has interest in bakery, so she will be studying courses bout bakery in taiwan.

poh, her friend told her tat work in s’pore can get a better pay and hv better saving. and now, she has a plan of going thre to hv a try after she completes her adv diploma.

Dada, i just finished chatting with her in msn an hr ago. she may not be coming back from Aus end of this yr, after her master course, she has to complete her 2 or 3 months intern in NZ. so she’ll be back around Jan 2009. and after this holiday in m’sia, she will be back to Aus and stay there for at least 2yrs (if i’m not mistaken) in order to get her PR there. this is her plan since yrs ago and i’m very sure there will be no changes.

in between our conversation, i told her tat my friends who started to work after our advance only get a very low salary. some get 1200 some get 1400 the most i think 1600 in penang, these are so called salary for accounts/audit fresh grad. they said tat fresh grad are always easily get bullied. work like a cow or horse for their employer but get a little pay but telling them tat ‘u don hv experience, we couldn’t pay u higher salary’, 1 of the boss said if get ACCA, there will be only 200 increase, no more increment unless u hv more experience! after listen to me, Dada said, this is y she doesn’t wan to work in m’sia as this is the std for m’sian fresh grad.

but as for my bro n cousin who are workig in engineering line, their basic pay ald at least 2000. maybe due to our status, they get DEGREE and wat we get? ADVANCE DIPLOMA? maybe for others, adv dip is just like a rubbish, IT’S NOTHING!!! study 2 yrs so hard for adv dip in ktar and end up getting nth. how many ppl outside knows that ktar’s adv diploma in financial accounting (AFA)is much more difficult than those accounting degree in Uni? even the lecturer in that uni also admit tat ktar AFA exam question is much more high std compared to them. and of course we r high std cos those questions set by our lecturers will be reviewed by ACCA examiner b4 it’s approved. and our answer script will be picked randomly and sent to them for marking. so our lecturer always told us tat they cant simply gv us marks as it will be compared with the marks tat mark by another party. if there’s a big diff between the marks given by both paties, they will be in trouble if found tat they simply gv marks. it’s really a diff way of marking if compare to Uni as their lecturer said tat they always bz looking for ways to gv more marks to student in order to help the degree student to pass their exam. some of my friends also agree with me, if we know this earlier, we will go for degree in tat uni n enjoy our happy life for 2 yrs and then just continue the final level of ACCA. easy life, better pay, who dont wan???

oh ya another stupid thing… even the Govt ald recognised that our Adv Diploma is equivalent to Degree, but not much employers noticed bout this. who to blame? isn’t it the coll has the responsibility to publicise this news to inform everyone? and fine, my friend told me, when she went for interviewed she told the boss that the Govt ald recognised we r equivalent as Degree, the boss ‘hm… ha…. hm….’ but at the end, nth happen…… continue to pay 1200….

wan to get better pay? no prob… get urself in BIG4, then it will be diff story. better pay, better employee benefits and etc… if u look for experience, then go for medium firm. of course they cant pay u high salary ask BIG4 did, but u can learn much more as medium firm has limitted employee and u hv to cover more works. Dada’s opinion to me is, try to get in BIG4, if u performed well, u’ll be sent for training or working in oversea for a couple of yrs… another thing i quite agree with her is that it’s easy to transfer from Big4 to Medium firm than Medium firm to Big4.

so… go for benefits? or experience? i dunno yet. my current job is settle all my ACCA papers 1st, who to work for depends on who wanna hire me, a white paper that hv 0 experience and dunno much!
