  • PWC Experience

    Hehe. Thats what they call it. The PWC experience. I tell you, these american advertising fellas really know how to sell a company.

    Oh well. Let me share my thougts with you.

    Do you know what employees like? Employees like being treated well. Sometimes it could be the smallest things, like small stationeries, nicer document bags, cool drink vending machines and biscuit dispensers, cab claims, or bigger things, like advanced auditing software that ensure pristine documentation- something that i always wanted to achieve but had lacked consistency.

    So far everything is great in my new company. Although, difficult people are everywhere, i have to say i met quite a few nice people already. I think being friendly and approachable brings you a long way. I just don't really understand those sour prune faced ppl who dont seem to mind sitting in silence. Sure, eventually everyone will know each other.

    I often take the effort to get to know people, and these prunes just dont ever. Damn its not fair that eventually everyone knows each other. grr. I wonder what impression i have left for being extra friendly.  Over pleasing puppy or just nice colleague? Hmm.

     

    I think ,that the audit life occupies you quite a great deal. First week of work and already i am feeling like there aren't enough hours to work, play and rest. Did you know the great sleep late Yvonne has been sleeping at an average of 11.30pm to 12.00pm this whole week? Thats just so impossible la... but its happening . Because my daily routine this week has been waking up at 7.15am and walking to the bus stop, then to the mrt, then to my office about 5 minutes away. 

    Good thing is i feel well rested.

    Bad thing is i dont get to lepak much, and can't get much done either. Bleurgh.

    Okay, 4 coffees and a milo later, i have to return to my training session. Lunch is over =)

     

    Happy immigrant signing off!

  • It took me a new country to update my ...well. blog.

    As we all know , Yvonne has moved to Singapore and is residing there until further notice.

    PWC seems awesome so far, with promising systems and methodologies. The people seem competent, and the company seems generous. Key word? "Seem" !

    I haven't really gone crazy shopping, although CNY is lurking round the corner.

    Work wise, i have been sent on a stock take, of which i have barely any experience of. And i am going there alone to observe it for two days. I find it rather exciting since its physical work as oposed to our lap-top tapping, and since i have no idea how to do a stock take, i will be reading up the theory on it, and then hopefully i'd be prepared by then.

    My coaching group here in PWC all seemed like nice, fun and down to earth people. In fact, everyone is nice till they become your colleague/superior/senior... You know how you can talk to your mom's friends, your dad's friends, call them auntie , uncle, crack jokes etc? Well, when these auntie uncles somehow turn out to be your Partner/Boss/Senior Manager, it all takes a new perspective and you can't be yourself anymore. They suddenly become this scary "becareful" figures.  Oh well, i side-tracked.

    Back to my Coaching Group, which is this thing they do in PWC, where they have a Partner and a bunch of little auditees under him ,forming a little family of auditors. They are there to assist and guide each other, and also to support each other lor.

    Yesterday we had a meet the CG Tea session ,where PWC provided snack foods and drinks for all of us, partners included.

    I had very much wanted to go for the wine. Or that champagne bottle look-a-like. But drinking on the job din't seem like a good idea..

     

    brb!

  • Dear innocentsexy,

     

    Gosh its been long since I updated you on my life.

    So here are some updates for people who don’t talk to me but yet want to know if my dog had died or if I bought a new sports car.

     

    FYI, neither had happened. I don’t have a dog.

     

    As of August I had just finished my insurance audit. I enjoyed the 3 months very much as most nights were early ones and everyone was efficient and rather warm. We often buy cakes and pastries for each other to snack on (resulting in everyone’s weight gain)

     

    Then to add, this amazing guy keeps coming to feed me lunch almost everyday. I was rather antisocial amongst my colleagues due to my frequent MIAness during lunch time, but to compensate, half of my colleagues skip lunch on a regular basis so I dint quite miss out on anything.

     

    Ugh. How can I be so boring.

     

    Mini updates then.

     

    In the span of the past few months, I had been to Laguna in Redang, followed by Krabi in Thailand and also Singapore with Grace, Ze Yoon and KJin.

     

    And my stupid department trip is to Redang again this October. Laguna was a pretty resort, probably the best in Redang. Pelangi is a shithole as per its website. Sighh.

     

    In Krabi  Kjin and I spent most days lounging around on the beach and also in our chalet, with our shisha bottle and an out door Jacuzzi. Shishaing in a Jacuzzi sounds like heaven, felt really cool and the ambience was great, but to tell you the truth, the water makes it hard to breathe in.

     

    Thai massage in the outdoors with the rain falling around you and cool sea breeze was amazing. Both KOed within the minutes.

     

    Then we had the most amazing pizza in the hotel restaurant by the beach. Oh we even got to see boobies with pink nipples. Haha I caught someone taking a second glance. Of coz , followed by me stealing my 4th and 5th and 6th glances. Sounds jakun but they were pretty boobies.

     

    Singapore with Grace and Ze Yoon was super fun. They’re great fuunn. We went for the Singapore Flyer ( which is similar to the London Eye, except its like, Singapore Eye) . Contrary to it seeming corny, the view was actually really good. And Singapore being a city, the lighting at night was awesome. The height of the flyer was also really amazing, overlooking a giant golf course, the whole city and also the famous Singapore Street racing F1 track.  Not that im a big fan of small cars then make loud mosquito noises.

     

    Then Jin brought me on a cruise with his generous and hospitable uncle and aunt. They kinda paid for the cruise and a yummylicious Japanese dinner on board. Was the first time I had Wagyu beef….. sadly his uncle is like, damn cina and had it prepared well done. Oh, and we also had this super expensive dim sum in the city of Singapore. I din’t see the bill, but I suspect it was like… a thousand? Something like that or more? Well, I guess that’s a taste of really well to do Singaporeon life. I’d never spend so much on dim sum. =D I think.

     

    Hmm. Other updates.

     

    Oh my brother Edward just opened a store in Pertama Complex and he is now trading handphones and such. His first business on his own… S’pose you might see me there helping out and kaypohing soon.

     

    As with all the recent enjoyment, you can tell that im having an offpeak in my audit line. Yeap, im actually typing all this whilst in class now… it’s the training period and today I got a nice seat and a chilling moderator.

     

    Abit more off peak now, till about October mid month…then its back to the slavery.

     

    My birthday is coming up in a few days time, though im not half as excited about it as I was last year when I was turning 21. Because to me, I’ll only ever age till 21. .. . Im 21.

     

    Ive about run out of updates now. All the best to all of you. Love!

  • Nobody really enjoys a public display of affection.

    When you first tell your friends about your new love and how great everything is, they'd be happy for you, maybe some cheers, but no one wants to hear about them over and over again.

    Which is why i try my best not talk about my love when im with my friends. I don't want to gross them out. But i never really got to confide in anyone about all these things that has been happening to me, all these new feelings, a new phase in life i would think.

    I think the only person that wouldn't get sick of my broken-recordness would be my mom. Whom i occasionally confide in.

    To sum things up, lets just say . We are really something. and. I love you K Jin.



    God knows who still bothers checking my blog besides you haha. For updates,
    1. i won't be heading to bangkok in august with my friends already =( 

    2. i really like the insurance audit job im in. I love how its so organised and how the seniors are caring. Love the hours as compared to the bank jobs, nonetheless audit is still so taxing.. my eyes are deteriorating , obviously my skin is shit, i have lack of sleep most days because i wouldnt forgo my unwinding time after work, my eyebags are scary and my skin is like so dry and discolored. Do you even know how much the partners earn... Do you know what i earn?! urgh.

    3. im really really happy with life now. I am so thankful. With no regrets in any part of life because all my past brought me to where i am right now.

    4. i need to buy a new handphone. ive been using his iphone for a few days now. Its really handy and i love the music and games, but smsing is still a bitch and i dont like putting the screen on my face after prodding it with my fingers all day. I think its dirty.

    5. Amanda, Edmund, Yuet Lin, its time to catch up! Gosh i havent seen you guys in awhile now! Lets please have lunch soon! Nothing has to change..

    I find it rather pointless to be blabering online. I dont seem to like talking to this screen anymore. So lets just catch up over drinks. Bye people.
