yup, spent the whole wk3 of PA at this japanese advertsing firm at tanjiong pagar, doing the whole boring process of auditing again!! but luckily this time round i got nice food to eat! wuhahaha... there's this very famous market there wif lotsa gd food! finished my work before the targeted time, so i'm free again to do my own stuffs. umm... actually dat's bcoz i'm stuck at the balance sheet, so my senior jus say"oh, then u jus leave it i'll do." haha.. so i left all the difficult calculations to her n i happily read my newspaper n slack! anyway, this company has been making a lost for may many yrs liao, dunno y it still continue operation. n it's the 1st time i see a director being paid $3000 every mth oni! bishx! if i'm the director i'll die...
upon investigaiton by detective alicia, there's oni 2 possibilities:
1) it's main company is in a country dat uses the worldwide tax basis so it wanna make use of it's lose here to bring over there so dat can reduce the tax amt.
2) transfer pricing theory

Many Many Things
seriously, i should nurture a habit of blogging daily. else i definitely gonna miss blogging sum important stuffs. i dunno where to begin!?!?!
PA
Its quite an eye opener at KPMG. Its a real big partnership, this give me a good feel on how working in big company is like. (strictly speaking, it not a company) They treat interns very well; organized training, logistic, laptop and tea breaks. whao~ A few unfortunate things though. I was allocated to tax, not audit which i opted for. Well i like tax actually, but kinda unhappy for the fact that i cannot experience audit life. To add on, i was give a lousy laptop. One that is super slow. for an impaitent guy like me.... u know what i mean. Lastly, the assignments i'm given also not very friendly. its either too easy or too hard that i always got stuck. Lastly, my unit has only 2 NTU ppl including me, the rest are SMU. This kind of make us ambassador for NTU. haha. To sum off... I am dragging my PA. Work sux and 8 to 5 job is tiring. Its time to ponder what i really wanna do in the future.
Oh, another thing to add is that i'm really very small size. Angela, my intern buddy is so tall, makes me feel very embarass. Ya... ego problem? i dun think so. My insignificant physical pressence sure to affect how ppl judge me. This how the world works!
NBS bash
Went to support the NBS bash. I have to admit that i'm really upset about how garnet work out. I really dun understand how best OG will end up like this. just glad that there are still small group around. I really dun understand whats the core of the problem? is it me? are seniors at blame? partly, thats what i believe. anyway, decides to reinforce ruying, she desperately needs help, and also some wake up call. haha. point taken abt garnet, will try to gel them up again.
I'm very proud of my OG, gavi. We are not particularly united or super close, but we are still quite close. confuse? just take it that the friendship within gavi is still there, we are definitely not acquaintence. I especially proud of OG guys. I will remember how they, again and again help me in one way or another. thanks hongseng, kai jie, mun keet, teng cheok, adrian, kang jian. brandon and daniel occassionally. Really feel that FOC 04 impacted my life. Thank god to it i met jun. Though we never thought that we will be together.
Toyota SPACIO
Hope this episode ends soon. found the head lamp at last. still got to wait for the side lamp. This episode taught me a lot of things. It makes me grow.
1) ppl will go all out to eat u. u have to defend urself. to do that, u must be calm and never think that they are honest.
2) money is important
3) friends are ppl u can always seek help. connections is important.
4) never give in to negotiation techniques, but to facts and rationality.
5) never lie. never lie ur way out. the key is to key ur way out.
yup. basically dun wanna talk abt this anymore. tired.
wanna thank ppl who help me esp to jun and hong wei.
Jun's lost phone
We have been very unlucky. or rather we take turns to be unlucky. Every since the hostel incident, unfortunate things seems to occur. from breaking up, to the recent lost phone, it really dampens us and make me feel like what jun feels; ie our birthdate crashes. You might even wanna go back to date, that my hospital stay is related to this. I never wanna think of things this way. If i'm a third person, i will think i'm foolish to link all these things together. But the truth is so many things happen that i am afraid now. We are in a stint of bad luck. wanna this period to end soon and we be happy again. Be it we are together or not. I'm going jalan kayu to pray later. hope things get better.
where am i going, thought i suspose to talk abt lost phone. Jun dropped her phone when we took cab from her place to mine. Many things built up to this incident. Its really fated. From why i decide to go pray with her family, to why i ask her to come my house, to rain, yellow top cab, bus behind cab, traffic light and decision not to go into carpark. Its so fated. When she realized that she drop her phone, my immediate reaction is to try get the phone back. or rather I MUST get the phone back. We are (WERE) already so unlucky, i dun wanna this to add on to the list. I failed.
Table
Table came to my house to watch soccer yesterday. Told them about what happened and they sympatize me greatly. Maybe my luck is turning, liverpool won yesterday, table's company was great! I was really very happy yesterday night, despite the unfortunate things. They consoled me and made me believe in myself once again :) End of the day, we went supper and they treated me! really touched. i mean they meant well, they wanna console me in their way. very happy i will say. On the way back in hong wei car, we blasted di yi tian and the 4 guys just sang like there is no tomolo as like the past. I dunno how to describe my feelings... felt carefree, so protected by table (we protecting each other), so young like the JC days. Memories of the younger and happier days flashed back. I really dunno how to describle my feeling. no trouble, just singing. Thanks for the table-filled night. It makes me feel a lot better. I msg them in the end to thank them. Ee How told me "You'll never walk alone" *smilez*
Thats all my many many things... cheers

felt so frightened coz of me & kian's bad luck over the past few months. i lost my hp ytday...left it inside the cab & the evil driver took off wif it. i discovered it the moment i got off the cab & kian started chasing & calling. but coz of the heavy rain, it was to no avail & we cant see the car plate no oso. the driver actually rejected the calls & switched off the phone after a while. then we noe it's gone...
we tot dat taxi drivers shdnt be so evil, but turned out they r the most eveil ones. called comfort & LTA today but they said coz it's a private taxi(oni yellow top wif dark blue body is under comfort but the one we took is wif black body), so they cant do anything abt it. maybe dat's y the driver is so daring, coz he noe we cant locate him. went to make a police report but dun think i can recover my phone even wif the IMEI no... this incident really makes me frightened... not bcoz i lat my phone, but bcoz bad luck keep following me & kian, & we keep meeting evil, horrible & cruel ppl.
talked over the things dat happened to us to limin, jinfen & shannon... they oso understands & tried to console us... dad & mum said dat we've met xiao ren...dat's y so sway. but i've already prayed to the tiger god at the beginning of the yr, n according to the fortune telling, my luck for this yr is ok one... so i'm really very scare dat it's me & kian being together dat cause all these... maybe our sheng cheng ba zi clashed? kian said dun think too much & be too mi xin... but i cant help but wonder... bad luck hav really been following us... still... hav to agree wif shannon dat luckily all these r jus unluckiness on the $$ side & we r still safe & sound & dat's the moz impt thing. hopefully things will turn better after we've pray...
decide dat in this world, as u grow older, u'll realised dat there's oni 2 paths u can take:
1) to be honest & get eaten up by the evil ppl
2) rise to the same level as them
dat's survival, no matter how u started out pure, innocent & righteous, eventually u'll see the world's true colours, the hidden intention behind everyone's back & to trust no one.... if not, u wont be able to survive...

Day 4 of Alicia's PA
Tmr is vesak day, so today we went off earlier at 5. haha… if it’s in the office then this wont be possible liao lor! Did tax today & discovered dat Sanyo actually paid TET $5000 to do this auditing. Think dat’s quite a lot… considered TET sent 2 interns wif $3.75 per hr pay!
Anyway, discovered dat Sanyo claimed tax for GST of one of their S-plated car which is not allowed. Yingyi oso sian, coz obviously their accountant’s negligence.
Went out for dinner wif kian, youchun & shihui at mache, then ben & jerry ice-cream. It’s quite an enjoyable dinner, the sit down talk cock session was nice. Went to support the nbs bash at Momo wif kian after dat, seems like it’s quite successful. took nite rider home & it actually took ages! left at 11.45pm but reached home oni at 1.45am!

Day 3 of Alicia's PA
One gd thing abt being outstationed is dat it’s very flexible & slack, wif nobody to monitor u! haha… today after lunch I can still read newspapers while Yingyi had her afternoon nap! Think we take like 2hrs to rest & relax… wuhahahah…
Yingyi was looking at the recruits section wif the intention of changing jobs. Told us nv to join a sole properitor coz u hav to bao everything. Audit is really not a job for me, too boring liao! Sit there whole day tallying numbers! Sianz… how boring can a job be!
Did expense schedule today, cant balanced my transport allowance, to lazy to recalculate everything. In the end I took a short cut, jus lump everything into 1 category & use the total minus whatever I’ve categoried out to give me wat’s left. Haha… suddenly tot if I’m really gg into this line, I’ll be someone who wont follow the rules & always try to take short cuts whenever possible.

Day 2 of Alicia's PA
Was outstationed to Sanyo at upper thomson industrial area to audit their accounts. The building was quite an impressive one, having won the ‘Best Design Building’ award. Looks very posh & high class on the outside(like those CBD buildings), dat’s y we(Yingyi & Andrew) all commented dat it’s so off for it to be built in an industrial area.
Andrew & I did the ‘other notes’ category, with me auditing the receipts & purchase while he audit the sales & payments. Sanyo used the SAP software, so it’s very different as compared to Ming Fung where we hav to keep flipping the general ledger books, accounts books, etc. Things r made much easier & efficient as we r given the printed computarised copies of GL, bank statements, etc. However, due to my cmi AA101, it took me a while to learn dat I hav to look at the debit side for receipts & credit side for pmt from the GL, then vouched to the respective vouches accordingly. I learned a few audit terms oso, like casting=addition…
Lunch was quite bad coz there is simply no food centre or canteen ard & to walk out to the nearest bus-stop is quite a distance. So we asked ard & discover dat there is a small eatery at the 4th level of another industrial building within walking distance. To my disappointment, there’s basically oni 2 stalls there, one Chinese & one malay! Sob… I hav to survive on these for quite sometime liao… n the Chinese stall’s cai fan is DIY one, so u basically scooped ur own rice & take ur own dishes… really wonder how they charged the $$! But overall still ok lah, can still survived… haha…

How should i go about writting this entry? I dunno should i be positive or negative. A neutral stand maybe?
Everything went well for the date. Except we had a small argument while driving from mt faber to orchard. thats not the main point.
Neutral
While driving the car back to the rental shop, I hit the wall of the MSCP. The damages did not seem serious and hence, the car was driven back for return. Moreover, there was a third party insurance, so things should be ok. However, i was then told that they are serious damage which are not covered by the insurance, and i have to compensate 2k... After much negotiation, and also advice from hong wei, jun and a few mechanics, case closed at 800 bucks + head lamp.
Negative
I was not negative about the damage, thinking that it will be covered by insurance. However, i'm super worry about the petrol!! It seems like I was running dry of petrol with one 1 level left. What should i do if the car can't move!! help!! luckily, i managed to reach the destination. Unluckily, i need to pay for the damages. I was very worried about how much i need to pay, then plus i need to act cool and pretend that i was not at fault. (actually i was thinking they sure know i lied, dunno why i still do it) Waited and waited and i was quoted $2000. I was quite prepared to pay this amt actually. I struggled to tell anyone, but thinking that i need help, i called jun.
Christina, the shop lady, gave me 2 options.
(1) pay 2k and settle everything
(2) hold and wait for the bill, which in the end will cost more then 2k.
This is when i felt fishy. why are they sa eager to get the cash. WTF. I decided to get more help.
End of the day, hong wei got involved plus johnny, phillp and also jeannie and her dad.
This were the parts i damaged
- front panel
- head lamp
- side lamp
- bumper
Apparently, i can actually get all things repair @ $500 outside. However, the shop refused to give way. They wanted all the parts change!
From 2k we cut to 1k then to 700.
We negotiated, and end up paying 800 bucks. exclusive of the lamp that i need to get for her from jeannie's dad @150.
On top of that, hong wei kena fine for illegal parking... feel sorry for him.
The negative part here is that i feel worthless. Yes worthless. I sux. first, i cannot even afford the $950 myself, need to borrow from jun. Second, i cannot negotiate things to my own advantage. I rely on ppl to make decision. Fuck... i feel worthless, cannot protect jun at all. Really, many things happened since the hall spot check. We broke up and time from time i broke down, did not know what to do. HELP!
Positive
Nothing much... though i cannot afford 950, i can afford to make jun a princess for a day. Without the car, things will be so different yesterday. Without staying at her house, i will not have another msg for collection "Thks for e day. I really enjoyed myself n feel like a princess. Sorry to disappoint u, but pls give me more time... Nitez..."
Well, though i cannot negotiated things to my advantage, but i did not negotiate to my disadvantage! At least i remain cool and compose and assess the situation. else i will not have realize 2k is unreasonable.
I never rely them on decision making; but more is because i know that I will not be making the best decision, better consult the others.
Yes many things happen. However they are test for my character. If i failed them, they just build up to a better me. To someone worthy to be jun and shelter her.
As much as she needs time, I need time too. I will wait for the moment :)
*i received a "kiss" from her today!!*

I was not negative about the damage, thinking that it will be covered by insurance. However, i'm super worry about the petrol!! It seems like I was running dry of petrol with one 1 level left. What should i do if the car can't move!! help!! luckily, i managed to reach the destination. Unluckily, i need to pay for the damages. I was very worried about how much i need to pay, then plus i need to act cool and pretend that i was not at fault. (actually i was thinking they sure know i lied, dunno why i still do it) Waited and waited and i was quoted $2000. I was quite prepared to pay this amt actually. I struggled to tell anyone, but thinking that i need help, i called jun.
Christina, the shop lady, gave me 2 options.
(1) pay 2k and settle everything
(2) hold and wait for the bill, which in the end will cost more then 2k.
This is when i felt fishy. why are they sa eager to get the cash. WTF. I decided to get more help.
End of the day, hong wei got involved plus johnny, phillp and also jeannie and her dad.
This were the parts i damaged
- front panel
- head lamp
- side lamp
- bumper
Apparently, i can actually get all things repair @ $500 outside. However, the shop refused to give way. They wanted all the parts change!
From 2k we cut to 1k then to 700.
We negotiated, and end up paying 800 bucks. exclusive of the lamp that i need to get for her from jeannie's dad @150.
On top of that, hong wei kena fine for illegal parking... feel sorry for him.
The negative part here is that i feel worthless. Yes worthless. I sux. first, i cannot even afford the $950 myself, need to borrow from jun. Second, i cannot negotiate things to my own advantage. I rely on ppl to make decision. Fuck... i feel worthless, cannot protect jun at all. Really, many things happened since the hall spot check. We broke up and time from time i broke down, did not know what to do. HELP!
Positive
Nothing much... though i cannot afford 950, i can afford to make jun a princess for a day. Without the car, things will be so different yesterday. Without staying at her house, i will not have another msg for collection "Thks for e day. I really enjoyed myself n feel like a princess. Sorry to disappoint u, but pls give me more time... Nitez..."
Well, though i cannot negotiated things to my advantage, but i did not negotiate to my disadvantage! At least i remain cool and compose and assess the situation. else i will not have realize 2k is unreasonable.
I never rely them on decision making; but more is because i know that I will not be making the best decision, better consult the others.
Yes many things happen. However they are test for my character. If i failed them, they just build up to a better me. To someone worthy to be jun and shelter her.
As much as she needs time, I need time too. I will wait for the moment :)
*i received a "kiss" from her today!!*

Life is full of up ups and downs. really! i was right. Jun was upset over what happen. She could not get over it. Like what i thought, its not because of work but our relationship.
This msg says it all:"dun call me, u din do anything wrong. Sorry, actually today i'm neither studying nor am i stress. It's jus dat after Ytday Nite, i got e terrible feeling again... i dunno y i feel dat way... Sorry, I think i'm still not prepare to accept u...Sorry..."
my heart sank further, after the morning msg. However slightly relieve that I did not make another mistake. Jus that jun needs more time. Ultimately, both of us noe very well that we try to make the best out of our relationship. I will give her the space and time she needs. I noe she needs all my support. I will not be pushy. i will wait for her. She the only one I'm waiting for. Love her deeply.
Anyway, i thought that things always went astray when i'm not with her. I dunno, that my assumption. I feel that she needs me by her side to assure her. I really wonder will this happen if i had stayed over her house. If thats really the case, jun... I will be by ur side.
"Call me?" thats what stopped my from worrying. Later that night, jun asked me to call her to motivate her. :)
Well not sure tomolo's date will still go on. However, decide to write down the idea situation, can compare it with what really happens tomolo. Had this planned last week.
Pick her up in a rented car right outside the exam hall. Wow all her friends! once she gets into the car, she will see the bouquet of flowers and be so so happy!! yeah! luch will be at jack's place and after that will be make over session at jean yip. then she will be very high, mei mei mah~ that when i bring her to PS to watch 'what lies beneath' which she always wanted. out of the cinema, off to the romantic cozy bay. Bet she will be super suprise cause i bet she forgotten that she wants to go there. hahha. after dinner, we gonna have a romantic chat on the bridge, overlooking the kallang river. thats when i bring out the 1.2 carat ring! tears will definitely flow! hahaha anyway, its not my plan to ask her to be my girlfriend tomolo. I feel... I have not done enuff. Must convince her more that i dun treat her nice because i'm courting her, but becos i truely love her and this will not just last for the courtship.
Anyway, rubbish lah. No ring..... so the ring part is out. Car.... not sure... no money and also lacks experience.... lastly..... not sure we still gonna have a date tomolo....

Yesterday was one of the rare time i missed jun when i played soccer. Really, throughout the game i kept thinking how nice it will be to be by her side. Heck the soccer~ weird isn't it.
Anyway had a nap after the game and went for a hair cut before going to find jun. Purposely wear nice nice, cut hair to go score point. hahaha
It was quite a nice night, went listen really with jun and aunty, like a parental date like that. haha.
Jun wanna study today... i shall not disturb her... her msg seems to imply that she's unhappy, but i think i dun think too much. Lets look forward tomolo...
Oh... Happy Labour day jun...
