Hi all, Has been rather busy with work with My boss going for yet another holiday trip to Korea and returning only last Thur, Needless to say I was the 2 IC for him and this time rd was nt clearing his stuffs bt rather on my part since the closing for Dec'13 is just 6 days after the Nov '13 Closing..
Attended Nic's church wedding yesterday and it was one of the most heart warming weddings that I
Attended despite nt catching up with him after our ORD...Firstly,he single out every of his frens by calling out their names including me! And wat you have to do would be jus to raise up your hand,and he will thank you for your presence...Secondly, I felt that both nic and his bride were pretty much candid in their speech peppering it with humor and at times sentimental esp when it came to thanking their loved ones...the food spread was good..with a mixture of chinese Malay crusines...had to be one of the best wedding I attended.
Finally cleared my IPPT bt nt after gg to ToaPayoh gym to take that much dreaded SBJ station...the mat was better than Jurong Safra bt gg from Jurong to Toa Payoh to take the SBJ station solely doesn't make much sense,well at least it was a fruitful one...
Auditors gonna come in tml, and I am nt quite anticipating except for a few regular ones whom we met last year..Gonna be a long 2-3 weeks till 31 Dec with OT being a daily affair...hopefully it's my last yr end closing with KSS...More or less firmed up my decision to throw after B has been received..which shld be and end of Jan next yr,the analytical roles jus keep bt with incremental or rewards, more work same pay many promises which I doubt he would fulfill...hence nt staying for another round of his promises...
Alrite, gonna write till here.
Take care.

Chillax!
Hi peeps, it's 12.45 am nw and tml is a Monday....bt jus couldn't get to sleep largely becos I slept too much in the afternoon coupled with the fact tat din really did much productive things today...nua day...
Met up with kelvin,adecia n Mabel over steamboat at hai di Lao last thur,food was good bt hefty as well...costed $50/pax ...tried the pork belly,chicken,and their tong fen...nice..ambience n surrounding coupled with their excellent services does differentiate them from bugs steamboat where a mere half of its price could earn you a place in their restaurant...guess our gatherings became more frequent over one and others weddings, most of them happily married or getting married,you know who you are,haha...bt it's gd tat we afford to take the effort to gather after our poly days where strictly speaking we were only classmates for our 1st yr...and not lose contacts and merely see their Facebook updates ..
Work wise, has been kinda of chillax,kinda rare to be able to say such words as Lincoln always throws whatever is on hand to me...bt auditors gonna come in tml, hope they don't ask so much nor materials frm us,haha....stock take jus ended and it was quite an experience from planning the memo of the stocktake to the actual day, not bad, a few hiccups bt were manageable and we managed to convince the auditors with their sampling with everyone staying nt later than 9.30pm compared to last yr, where they stayed till 12am...
Moving to 55 gul rd come Jan next yr, Lincoln assured me tat I be promoted and asked me a few times whether I had the confidence of taking over the team, I told him given the chance,I would gladly take it...no news yet bt pondering shld I even stay in kss if Lincoln position is open to me, nearing in mind the fact tat I have been in kss for 3 yrs plus and I would perhaps wants a change of environment....bt frens advices saying tat Lincoln would jus wans a smooth transition to the next accountant..henceforth promotion may come bt perhaps not to the extend of leading the team...if tats the case,I will most prob be tendering end jan 14 regardless of the increment, n I doubt I m the only one thinking of tat,hahaha..
Quite disappointed in the dragonboat selection where I was chosen to be the reserves...bt I guess I weren't too frequent n prompt in their trainings and where it came to the time to impress the selectors I didn't tried my best...oh well...
Acca over and by right I should have quite a bit of spare time on my side...maybe I used tat to do sports cos your own body is the only place you can live in take good care of it...heard it from somewhere...bt other than sports,have been pretty much clueless abt my next step and I loathe this feeling,where one lives nt knowing wats he's fighting for...will find my aim by the end of Oct.
Talking abt finding a partner, I found tat the process more or less goes like this, you find a target, zoom in to her,understand her more and vice versa...confess n there you go, quite simply putting it a couple is born...but the problem lies in tat I have not found tat one yet...my requirement too high?i don't the so....maybe I am quite used to being alone in doing things,have to be more active in sourcing for 1 now tat time is on my side...
Ok,shld write till here...looking forward to the hari raya holidays on Tue...
Take care.

ACCA grad!
Yup, nailed it this time. I am an ACCA grad or rather an affiliate as they called it. Seriously, I din harbour hopes of passing the 2 papers tax and advanced fin mgmt, becos i tot i had done it rather badly and the marks I calculated din seems for me to pass...bt well, it's over at least for ACCA ...
Looking ahead, might change job given the meagre pathethic,loose change salary of mine...have to scrimp and save to really build up my war chest to enter into the stock market. Learning and picking up ropes in Keppel, sadly, its been 1 or 1.5 yrs since I last picked up technical knowledge or hands on in my current job, it has mostly been a case of I guiding others, nt much I can do on except to build on my accounting knowledge...Been stagnating the previous 3 yrs due to my studying of ACCA, now tat tat has been done...I am a free man,wohoo...the bonus still at the back of my mind, shld I stay to get Bonus or shld I jus leave...well, lets see how the subsequent job interviews results in
Met boon Leng and gang for supper on Thur and Tai yuan, Kaixin , Risheng on Fri at Tai yuan house...
Nice gathering, Job market from BL POV seems pretty bad, few confirmed offers despite him sending tons of resumes and gg for many interviews, hope he gets one job soon..
The primary sch gang this time with the absence of JB, bt it was a fun time as we chatted on Tekong, Diving and some rather close to the heart matters...hope all turns out well and for the benefit of all...
Somehow the reason why I am so sticky with Keppel and not wanting to venture is because I thk the friendship made at keppel with ex and current colleagues has seam into my weekends...some of my free time are spent with this joyful grp of people and with sheng long ard, everything seems funny...haha...somehow I guess I would have a hard time adapting to my new job if any.
But we work to earn $$, y stay with a company if it offers lesser renumeration than other for the same work done?
The covering of Lincoln during his absence was hectic to say the least, payments, problems, taxation, and budgets just arised...haiz...really shag bt I am glad it's over, bt I must be somehow prepared as an accountant would be bombarded with many questions as well...
Wish me luck in my job interview...
Happy 48th Birthday, Singapore!

Doing good,I guess not
Hi all,been a good 2 mths since I last updated this blog of mine...
This 2 mths without lessons at least for now did nt seems much easier, as Lincoln had holidays n reservist(now!) and I am made to do the stuffs he has to do...
A tiresome role,doing a higher level n more responsibility work bt with a rather low pay sounds jus unjustified bt wat to do jus don't seems to be able to pass acca plus the reluctance to source for new jobs results in a rather pathethic ending,...jus have to bite the bullet n seam thu this period of budgeting, tax comp n closing all in one...
Had a small tiff with Tlaga at work, could be the poster tat I made of her or the comments on her pic tat left her fuming...bt regardless the fact, I think I am nt tat high class or proud tat she made me out to be....she s jus so lazy n uninnovative I wonders at times y Lincoln keeps her, for entertainment huh?bt whatever the reason,to be absent from workplace for 2 hrs is considered absence from workplace and she has the cheek to say her family problems again...sometimes really wonder to really believe in those family problems of hers,endless
Met James after work and the feeling jus changes I mean with James it kinda makes you wanna be more forward looking ,to be practical and look at things in a grown up manner and nt dwell on those tiny teeny bits of pieces ...it's hard to influence others if you yourself find it hard to do so...
While over here at Seascan,the feeling is ,more of a working relationship whereby matters are pretty much talked abt but not scrutinized and only the basics are done...nt tat forward looking..comments which are hilarious are more sought after for rather than analytical ones...it is hard to be inspirational when's there's no one in the coy that one can look up to....the exposure to socializing is limited and the type of pple are pretty much tat few...
Heck it, since we are no more part of kie, .i m looking forward to this yr end bonus before making an exit where new friendships can be formed and hopefully as well as more importantly they pay is correlated to my work in a positive way...
Alrite shld write till here,good nite.

confused
Met up with both Primary sch mates and secondary sch mates during the last weekend.
Primary sch mate gathering was a tad too long overdue liao,haha..bt still those who made the effort to come well showed that they wanted to gather and to catch up...a simple zhi char dinner and a major announcement...shall nt divulge whats tat....kx n TY graduating with both their degrees soon,congrats to both of them in advance...
Sec sch gathering was to celebrate our April Babies, and yea, I was one of them. Watched Iron Man 3, a pretty nice flick with a rather nt so complicated plot,I guess all marvel series are lidat with actions and the graphics preceeding the plot and storyline...bt the action was nice, esp towards the finale when all the Iron man suite came out...i would give it a 4 out of 5 rating.
Went to Watami for dinner next, a hefty dinner bt I being one of the bdae boys was spared the bill this time rd, and many thanks to Ek, Bl, samuel and YS for the treat...
Workwise, how do I put it...haiz, James my buddy in Keppel for 2.5 yrs has left for a new job last Wed...
Suddenly, I feel so desolate, the coffee times we had....the many sports that we organised for the Championship league and not forgetting us taking part in those sports as particpants, Basketball,Captain Balls(many times in fact) and bowling....
James was my closest fen in Keppel, one who was always very spontaneous,the full of energy guy, the decision maker guy and the advice giving fren...who supported me when I flanked my ACCA...
With him ard, it was jus like you taking a step back and let him jus direct his ways...
Frankly speaking on the last day, the we both bought a coffee and drank just b4 he departed, from the sound of his voice, it was cracking, and mine was abt to...as i thk KIE being our first job after graduating from UOL and the many laughters and fun that we had with all the interns..this we will nvr forget and treasure it..
Bt nevetheless, there's no dinner tat would last forever, to quote a chinese saying....James went for a better job with higher renumeration and hopefully good prospect...Wish him all the best in his new job..jus want to say that i would nvr possibly meet another colleague like him....Seriously
ACCA wise, 30 more days b4 the exams arrive...more confident nw,after attending all the lectures for another round nw and paying more attention in class....jus keep studying and hope for the best,haha..
My logic is that I am stuck in Kep because of my ACCA, once I am done with my ACCA, i will go look for other more well paid jobs...jus like James, hopefully that time will come soon in Aug'13 I hope.
