It's time matters

Date: 30 November 2010

Duration: 1045am

There were only few left in the office today. When i reached office, the station behind was still empty, in the dark with lights not on. There were tax department people at the front of the office.

This was really rare. Everyone left the office for clients' place. Jac told me that she was once alone n the office.

I guessed so tomorrow would be the same thing either. There would be perhaps only three people left in the office( for audit department staff i meant) Most of the seniors have already taken their study leave and are probably burning both sides candles to have the last minutes revision.

I was doing another new company today, a SME. This time, i would be handling this company all by myself. Well, thanks for this opportunity.^^

The team leader seems reluctant to teach. It does not matter. Thanks anyway.^^

This coming Friday would be company annual dinner. Everybody was getting excited especially the ladies in the office. They were discussing whether to go for professional make up on the day. Not forgetting the dress as well.

Well, as aforementioned in previous post, i still do not feel being part of it. I mean being part of this company. I do not know why i could not be that involved into it just like Jac did. Perhaps it's time matters.

This would be the first company annual dinner i am attending. I would enjoy it, definitely.^^

Blue Monday

Date: 29 November 2010

Duration: 855pm

It really felt like a blue monday for me. I felt as if i had been leaving the office for a very long time. I was just away from office for four days actually. I felt really reluctant to get off my bed and go to work today. That's the first time i ever felt that after one and a half months. Why am i turning lazy?

I did not have much work to do today. I was trying my best to drag the time actually. The company that i was following last week was interim audit. There are only several tests to be done.

I was helping those seniors to edit, print files and fill in form B-9: walkthrough test cycle assessment and test of internal control if there is any inherent risk under the assertion. If there is inherent risk under existence assertion , test of control is to be conducted to assess if the controls in place is sufficient. For instance, who would be detecting and correcting the mistatement if revenue is probable of being overstated. It's not hard actually with the guidance from previous year working papers.

The job is sub-job from JB branch office. Some of the working papers are " unreliable". Lolz..

When it was about the end of working hours, somebody told me that i would be going JB again for two weeks two weeks later. This time, we would be staying in JB office apartment. Why am i always assigned oustation??? Is there something wrong with my performance???

I doubted my capability sometimes.

When i was about the leave the office. My senior told me that i would be taking another job independently tomorrow under Justine, one of the team leaders. It's an active company with audit fee around RM 2,000.

Thanks for that opportunity. I would do my best to get it done. It should be a job of one week.

Next two weeks, if the planning is not changed after the meeting of group leaders just now, i would be following Neo to do FIVE companies. TWO people doing FIVE companies, and these five companies are not small. I wonder how could this happen. The office s left with few seniors and two trainees, that's me and SRI.

I could see difficulties in allocationg these scarce resources. Many of the seniors are taking study leave. Well, this is the EXAMINATION SEASON, or should i say, the STUDY LEAVE season, when the leftovers are going to suffer.

I get little infor here and there in the office too. At the end of the year, we would either be doing the listed co or taking jobs from JB most of the time. Hmm, this time, i would be going for two weeks.

So speechless, is it really something wrong with me???

I dislike people to talk behind my back, rather , to pinpoint my mistakes in front of me would be

better.

Hypocrites are just everywhere around you, how i wish i could just make you disappear. Perhaps, i should just be like them, BE A HYPOCRITE too.

我回来了～

十一月二十六日

雨天 我回来了！！

应该是明天玩晚上才回来的，早了一天回来，因为工作做玩了。

好高兴可以回来，工作的第二天，已经开始想回来，觉得厌倦了，再说，也没什么要我跟进吧。

Seniors都不会把高难度的工作让给trainee做的。

这几天的工作大致上还好。

今天早上，我们做ASSET SIGHTING： 产物视察, 是一次丰富的经验。

第一次，我勘察做冰箱的过程。

从模型制作到按装冰箱里的系统，我们都目睹了。

好有趣!

今天，我也感觉到公司的刻薄。老板既然要求一位SENIOR独自到中国去做AUDIT。而且还是女生呢~

当然，她拒绝了。将来是如何的安排，大概也不确定了。祝你好运~~

two more days.^^

Date: 25 November 2010

Duration: 0927pm

Left two more days, i would be going back to Malacca. I really hope we could get the job done as soon as possible and head back to Malacca. So far, everything seems smooth. Annie told me that it's probable that we need to go asset sighting for the next day. Well, i have no experience on assets sighting before. It's would be a brand new and interesting experience for me.

I am in my room now. Today we left client's office earlier as compared to previous days. Tomorrow, the account executive would be leaving early for prayers. We would need to be back early too, as early as 630pm. 630 might sound late for you, it sound early for us indeed. LOLZ.

Audit life is as such. Hectic and pathetic. Despite that, i still think that it all depends on your thought. Good thought attracts good encounters and lucks. It all depends on the attitudes as well.

" What about you?Are you feeling stressful??" Somebody asked me when Lee Kim was leaving the firm.

" Well, that's the nature of audit"

That's what i answered. That's the nature of audit. Adapt to it or GET LOST from it.

This is my sixth week being a trainee. I am not really in stress. I enjoyed my working life, though sometimes i really feel tired of working.^^

I shall end my post here and ready for bath soon.^^

I am really tired after one day working. Yet, i want to get myself connected and post a blogpost.

Well, perhaps it has become a habit of mine to blog since my working day began.

We reached Kluang around twelve yesterday and settled ourselves down at client's office around two. Not much work was done for yesterday. Before we headed to Kluang, we drove all the way from Malacca to Johor Bharu office for a short briefing with Mr. Foong, the principal of JB branch office.

It was a real short briefing about the company that we are auditing. He discussed several issues of the company that we should take note of. There are two companies. Both companies are interrelated. One trades finished products of another. Among the interesting issues includes its trade receivables and something related to FRS 139 and FRS 7. I am really tired right now and could not really recall what he actually said yesterday. I shall make myself clear about this two FRSes when i am backed to Malacca. Another issue would be on its addition and disposal of assets. These two companies are considered clean and " healthy".

As it is a subsidiary of a GERMANY company, its documents and accounting system work different as compared to companies i followed previously. For instance, its GL's presentation.

I was doing journal vouchers review, sales and purchase transactions for these two days. None of them are fully done. All are halfly done. As the GL was different from usual companies, it took me sometimes to get used to it and find the source documents.

Despite the complexity, i did learnt something for these two days. Thanks to the employees there. The employees there are really helpful. They showed their hospitality by giving us a tour around Kluang, so that we could easily find our lunch over that area. The employees there are well mannered too. This morning, i was having some problem with the photocopy machine, the employees there were willing to give assistance. As i requested, when i am in trouble, someone would just be there for me. Thanks ^^

We stayed at ANIKA's hotel for these two days and would be staying here for the coming two days too. I shall be backed by Saturday night. I really miss home. Thanks God that i bring my tiny pillow with me, or else i would be seriously homesick.

This is my first outstation job. i really felt the working life of being oustation. It's greatly different from traveling. It's even more tiring than travelling. When you are travelling, you do not have to use your brain to think and chase after deadlines. But when on job oustation, you are traveling and working at the same time. That really makes my days more tiring.

Regardless of all these, i still feel grateful for giving this chance to get exposed to this company. Overall, this company is still a good company to audit. As compared to the previous subsidiaries i auditing in previous week, its journal vouchers are more properly prepared in term of its supporting documents attached with. Though its GL and invoices are filed differently with all the codes, its source documents are at least organised.

I estimated i shall be able to finish journal vouchers review, sales and purchase transaction test and the remaining jobs that i assigned within these two days. Till Friday, i shall be able to get everything done.

It's almost twelve now. Irene is here with me in ANIKA's lobby. It really sucks that we could not get connected in our room. The client told us that PRIMEC CITY which is the newest and most grand hotel in Kluang was fully booked. Hence, ANIKA was booked for us, the AUDITOR.

Mr. Foong joked that perhaps the client was saving budget, as this company is actually making loss after being taken over by the GERMANs from SINGAPOREAN. Hmm, the loss was properly due to heavy investment on assets.

I shall end my very-long blog post and get up to my room now.^^

Night.

Speechless

Date: 22 November 2010

Duration: 11.18 pm

I should be on bed now.

Well, i am on my bed but not " on bed"

Tomorrow i would be leaving for JB and then Kluang for few days. I shall be back by Saturday.^^

The company that i would be following this week is an electronic merchadising company. I have little information of this company and i shall learn more about this.^^ I feel grateful and great that i am given the chance to be exposed more.

Today was last day of Lee Kim being in this audit firm. She seemed delighted. I could feel she felt much better after taking this difficult decision.

The manager had a short conversation with Lee Kim and then after that Sri and I in the meeting room. He was trying to find out whether we are facing any problems.

It's too complicated. It's too " dangerous" or "stupid" to tell the TRUTH to someone who we just knew for a month plus. Even if he is a manager, how could i ever trust him?

He told us that the seniors complained to him that we, the trainees went off early and yet we groaned we could not finish our jobs. He required us to stay back if possible to help out those seniors.

I could still remember his words" we work as a team"

SRI and Me really felt so innocent. DID we really go back early?

Well, i knew Sri could not finish his job, the delay was not caused by going back early afterall. So far, i could still meet my deadlines.

I swear to God, it was seniors who required us to drive a seperate car so that WE COULD GO BACK EARLIER after we finished our job.

YES, we went off earlier than seniors. YET, we did not go back at 6 o'clock sharp. We left client's office as late as 8pm. We were not back late all the days, neither were we back EARLY as well.

He asked us for our feedback. In that situation, i really felt speechless.

SPEECHLESS~

In a work place, there would always be men of dual faces. I am not specifying anyone. It's just a conclusion i could make for today conversation with the manager.

Another conclusion from last week job, regardless what status you are in the society, ones should always be respected.

Even if being a maid, she still has the right to be respected.

Why not a trainee?

Despite all these, i still feel thankful to the manager for his time to have little conversation with us.

Tomorrow journey would be an enjoyable ones, i would enjoy this oustation job too~^^ Afterall, it's my first job oustation, and it's my fourth case in WEEK 6. Times flies, it has been one and a half months in working life.

So much so , I AM REALLY ENJOYING MY WORKING DAYS.

The seniors are helpful, but i do not know how truthful they are. As aforementioned, there would always be men of dual faces. Not to my surprise, there would always be one in that office too.

Not to worry, i know i could handle this~ I could be lady of more than two faces too. I am a mirror, an imitator.

Sometimes, i have no choice but choose to be a hypocrite.

It's late, i shall off to bed now. Tomorrow would be leaving as early as six am. ^^, perhaps i would not be posting new posts for these few days.

I am just like a mirror, reflecting how you are treating me. I would be softspoken and truthful when the person in front of the mirror is a sincere person....That's me, simple ans straight forward.

I posted the chinese version of the above expression in FACEBOOK, glad that GRACE quoted me. LOLZ.

Well, it was kind of frustrated when you are not being respected just because you are freshies. Freshies do not mean they are idiots. Ones always forget that they have once being a freshy too.

You are saying that it's like as if you are doing it together with me, i really felt it so when you even want to check if i have selected the correct samples. Ridiculous, don't you think so?

Well, just a tiny matter and tiny person that pass-by my life, not worth a mention afterall.

I was rude, i admitted. And i am sorry for that.

I was doing journal voucher review for the companies. The working purpose is to ensure that all journal posting are approved and strongly supported before posted into General Ledger.

It was actually easy provided your DEBIT and CREDIT knowledge is mastered well. Sometimes, i was really confused by its entries. I was a bit slow in reasoning its logics of the entries.

I would get used to it soon. ^^ just need some times to digest and STOP AND THINK~~

Well, we talked on the way back and Alex was driving today, I learnt something from him, and i found back something from him too. I found back the part of me that has lost ever since i enter the working life. I almost forget my purpose of being here.

Thanks Alex, i remember now. It's not all about rushing, it's about understanding what you are actually doing.

I am tired. Again, i brought back a little job. But this time, i gotta do abit of digestion.^^

"We are young, but not for too long"

Date: 17 November 2010

Duration:1330

Today is public holiday. As i mentioned in yesterday post, i brought back unfinished work home to be done today. Well, i feel kind of lazy to get it started.

I visited a blog a few minutes ago and i found it rather meaningful for these few tips the blogger posted in one of his blog posts.

He is another undergraduate of MMU. Malacca is really so small that you could find MMU products almost everywhere and anywhere. The company that i am in now is employing many MMU graduates including the audit manager himself. ^^

I am not trying to be boastful. MMU graduates( of earlier batch) ) possess better communication skill and planning capability. They are not only surviving, but they are performing as well.^^

As for the later batch of MMU graduates, the endurance and capabilities might not be as strong as the seniors MMU-ians.

Talking back about the blog i visited, i really like these few phrases

" AUDIT should be all you do is to THINK rather than all you do is to TICK~"

and another one

" We are young, but we are not young for long"

" Degree cert just bring you to the door of interview, and it is. that's it. "

Well, these few phrases are so TRUE.

I was not using my brain at first in AUDITING, thinking that it's just a stupid job serving compliance purpose and adding little values. Well, actually, if i were to use my brain to think, it would have made the job more meaningful.

TO do audit, you really need to think and not blindly ticking and finishing the working papers.

We are young, soon, we would age too. I mesmerised the time when i was still in secondary stage. Seeing the younger generations walking in Mahkota and DP. I feel, i am not that YOUNG anymore.Time flies, and do make every decisions with no regrets~

Many are degree holders, many are ACCA cert holders too. All these t qualifications are just fames to compete further. Rather, to survive in working world, it's another matter of learning and coping- not only in work, but it includes social network as well.

Finish blogging,

hmm, i shall start my work soon. ^^

^^--> Holiday Tomorrow~

Date: 16 November 2010

Duration: 9.10pm

It's a really EMOTIONAL day.

Lee Kim is on the thought of resigning. She said she really could not cope with the deadlines.

I understand. When you are thrown with an assignment that you have no idea how it was actually computed, and the guidance given helps little, and are expected to GET IT DONE and JUST GET IT DONE in a very short duration... you would really feel depressed.

To be frank,i felt stressed too.

But at the same time, i felt blessed. I am always blessed with luck. Of all the companies i took and the working papers i was assigned, they did not really give me so much of hard time. I did face difficult time of course, but someone was always there to help me. ^^ Thanks for law of attraction.

Well, i understand that the seniors are not the one who want to chase after us. They are under stress too. They are even in a worser situation.

Tomorrow would be a holiday.^^

I brought back files to resume my work tomorrow. If i don't, i would not be able to give the seniors what they want.

Well, seniors, please tolerate my errors if there is any. Speeds produce errors sometimes. ^^

Tomorrow i shall resume my job.

Let's rest well tonight.

Specialization~

Date: 15 November 2010

Duration: 11.38pm

I am tired.

I have just finished editing the loan convenent review. The seniors changed the way of doing this week as the progress of audit is kind of slow. We are under "specialization" method which mean if you are assigned to do review of loan convenant and banking facilities, you would need to do that for the eight companies. In this way, we could finish it faster.We were told that next week, we would be doing another eight companies, of total, this holding company comprise of 16 companies( only include companies that we are auditing, subsidiaries that do not fall under our scope are not taken into account).Too bad, i am not following this company next weeks onwards.^^

Frankly speaking, i dislike this way of working. I prefer following task by company as you would be able to capture a clearer picture of the whole. For instance, i would not know the main customers of one of subsidiaries company if i did not do the sales transaction test. So as when i do the banking facilities listing - commodity facilities to finance ninty percent of its invoice from customers - for instance TESCO. I would be in a much more clearer position in doing my audit working paper in that way.

Despite that, i still thanks seniors for all the guidance and assignment of task. They are themselves busy with higher level of audit which is much more complicated. Furthermore, they are facing much more pressures from the partners.

I guess tomorrow i could finish the task. Thanks God that the review of banking facilities and addition of new banking facilities are of several. I just need to add in the new banking facilities, review the new convenant if any and update previous working papers. That's done.

I am always so lucky^^.

I just knew this morning my next week job would be in Kluang, Johor.

I have been undergoing my training for a month and a day. This is really kind of soon to have outstation job with two seniors.

Well, i still thanks for the assignment. Kluang is better than Penang, isn't it? It's nearer as compared to Penang. LOLZ.

^^ THIS WEEK TASK could NEVER be DELAYED!..

I would finish any job that's on my hand as the person to be reported to would be LC( the partner). No kidding, babe.

It was a busy day though not of much work was done.

We headed to client's office and reached there a few minutes before ten and we saw our manager was right there. It's really rare to see him visiting client's office. Well, he was not the only " motivation" ( or should i say the one who gave all of us including all the seniors), the partner was there too. He was there to see the progress of audit and had a little conversation with our BIG client.

It felt really awkward with him sitting there. I do not know why, i just have a feeling of dislike towards this manager. He could not even remember my name. Grace, the assistant manager could remember my name after the first time i introduced myself on my first day. She is nicer.^^ I knew the manager is not a harsh superior, yet i just dislike him.

After i put my lappy at client's office, i brought my file to another location for DO's vouching.

Thanks to Ms Lee and Ms Annie for preparing the documents for me. Specially thanks to Ms Annie. She had actually arrange all the documents that i needed to vouch accordingly to my samples. Such a nice person i met~ Thanks^^. I know i would always be blessed whenever i go, feel grateful to meet nice people.

I was there for two hours, from ten till twelve. The employees there were considered friendly and approacable. ^^. They felt weird when they see me coming alone. Ms. Lee could not recognised me( perhaps i was wearing specs that made me look different on the previous week visit).

Previously, i was really doing vouching just for the sake of finishing the work. ( just like what racheal said ). Now, i have a clearer picture of what i am doing, starting to have my brain function, thinking of whether it's logical to do it that way, starting to find whether alternative test is possible when one test fail. For instance, for purchase transaction test( interelated companies), if there is no acknowledgement of receipt in DO, we could probably check the supplier's GL - sales.

The location i went today really smell yucky!! with flies in the OFFICE????? It really stinked!

Despite the stinky environment, i still thanks God for smooth audit today. Thanks for guard for letting me off too when i did not know how to open the bonnet of lee kim's car. So embarassing~ the guard must be feeling weird)

I went back to headquater to continue my purchase transaction test for another company.

It really gave me headache at first. I did not understand its nature and document. It took me a while to solve this problem. It's just a minor problem. I need to thanks to Ms Kuek and not forgetting THAT MANAGER too. ( though his words did NOT really HELP "A LOT".) He was asking our progress and what we had done today. He was really expecting lots.

When i reached Headquater, Lee Kim told me that the staff were talking about me about the incidents happened yesterday. I was looking for a purchase categories person in charge. After much hassle, i still could not find the right person.

When i asked Ms. Audrey about another category of the purchase, she requested me to find Ms. Tan ( the upstair Ms. Tan)

When i found Ms Tan( the upstair's Ms. Tan), this is what she told me " This one i duno, not i in charge, maybe you need to find Ms. Tan downstair."

When i found Ms Tan( the downstair's Ms. Tan), she said" I also not clear about, i only know about XXXXXX. i think you need to find Ms. Audrey"

I ran back upstair and found Ms. Audrey, this is what she told me," Oh, this one ah, it's shirley's scope"

When i talked to Ms. Shirley. she shook her head and could not give me the documents i wanted. She also could not tell me the right person to find.

That's the whole story. They were probably "in Guilt" for turning me here and there the day before. It was kind of amused actually. I knew they were not on purpose. LOLZ. i was not angry afterall. Just feel amused rather. By the way, thanks Ms. Hau for her concern. She was worried that i got myself lost on my way to the location for vouching. ( when she was told the auditor was not there YET over the phone)

I had been dissapearing from my seat in client's office today. I went downstair's store room to vouch the purchase ( after all the hassle, the senior finally found the source document for me, Thanks Man Yee >o<). It took me about two hours as well.

My job for this week is considered 90 percent done. I just left some minor portion to update before submitting to senior for review. ^^

Next week, i would still be on this company, doing PPE vouching if not mistaken ^^.

光棍节快乐！

Duration:0807pm

Today is 光棍节( Day for the SINGLEs).

光棍节快乐！

I am single, its a day to celebrate indeed.

From a study in Europe, there would be lots more of side effects if "single" rate keeps increasing. Generally speaking, if we were to compare current decades to 1970s, the rate of staying single double ( for male, from 10 % to 20 percent, for female, from 6 percent to 11 percent, applicable for age range). Among the side effects includes wastage of electricity currnt, greater production of rubbish, the "abnormal" family structure created if males were to find segregate mothers while at the same time stay single, etc.

Have you ever wonder why many stay single??

Males are single mainly due to financial difficulties whereas Females remain single mainly because of failure in finding their suitable life partner.( according to Sin Chew dated 11 November 2010)

Well, despite what the reasons are, being single or not is a choice, is a stage of life.

I would find someone i love and someone who love me someday. ^^requesting it,feeling it and receiving the love ~^^ ----

I was doing vouching for sales and purchase of another company. Total sample are 99 and 43 respectively. As compared to the previous company that i did several days ago, it's consider very few. ( the previous company has 283 samples for sales transaction test!) Worse still, the sample increased after i had done, it really gave me trouble. It's just like to REDO the whole thing all over again!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow i would be visiting client's processing farm office for the second time due to the increase of samples. The increase of sample caused me to work twice which i think if planning was done in a better way, all these trouble could be avoided.

Planning is really important. Plan it before you even get started!

Tomorrow would be a smooth audit. I estimated 2 till 3 hours of vouching my samples selected from GL through DOs.

I wonder what would we be doing next week in client's office again? Afterall, we had done all the vouching which ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO , i supposed!

疑人不用，用人不疑。。Why not choose to trust the ability of the person you are assigning??

Silly~ So silly

Date: 09 November 2010

Duration: 959pm

I reached home around seven thirty today.

I was kind of disturbed today. I thought the sales transaction test of 188 samples was considered done after vouching through DOs which are in another location. I am going to vouch the DOs on tuesday which is today~.

It was really a bad news to hear that number of samples needed to be increased. The sales of this company increased as compared to prior year, many of its subsidiaries had become active ( commence business activities) in this year. Hence, the test samples needed to be increased from 188 to 283.

I am not the only one who felt disturbed. Sri too and Lee Kim too.

DO you know that when you add sample when we , the trainees are doing it halfway or finished doing it, it's just like redoing the whole thing?

You would have to recalculate the number of sample to be distributed in each months, you would have to carry all those files ( which are tones heavy and more than a cupboard could fit in) from the person in charge to your working desk. You would need to keep editing existing excel file. AND, i would need to be in another location for twice just because of adding of sample?

Why not plan well before we even get started? It's just a waste of time for repeating it. It's better to do it once and that's it. It's silly.

No matter how fast you could finish your job, the superior would just DO SOMETHING to make you REDO your job.

This was not the only thing which made us pissed off. I believed Sri felt insulted too when he knew that the manager does not really trust trainees.

"TRAINEE could not be trusted, they always did mistake"

I did not personally hear this words from his mouth, but i believe Christine did as she's always in the office, sitting near the manager's site too.

From the manager' way of talking to us, the trainees, i could sense too, he does not trust us.

Not all trainees got no brains. That's the only thing i could utter.

Despite these unhappy things that disturbed me, i would still like to express my gratitute to people who assisted me today. Afterall, law of attraction would not apply with complaints but it only comes with gratitudes.

Miss Hau, the person in charge of the company that's i am doing right now, Thanks for the ride today to another location for DO's vouching.

Miss Lee and the foreign worker who assisted us in preparing the DOs and withdrawing that particular DOs for vouching. Thanks a lot.

( i was kind of amused when i saw that foreign worker folding the DOs' for the samples i gave it to them last week, i doubted whether he ever understand what i talked to him)

Annie, the senior who has been guiding me always.

Sri for helping me to carry that tones of documents on Monday.

Pui Yin for picking us back and fro.

Poh Yeng for being that considerate of all time.

Tomorrow i would finish all the work that's i am suppose to do!

Duration: 0750pm

We left client's office before six today. I was kind of sleepy and tired in the office. The air-con was really freezing me.

I was doing purchase transaction test for another subsidiary which has just gone active ( commence business) in June. I finished it in a short while as the purchase transaction was not much from June till September.

I then resumed my vouching in sales transaction test in the previous company. Annie requested me to add in more samples for months when sales were particularly higher, leaving the remaining three months( October till December) with lesser samples.

It did not take much of my time.

Thanks God that the filing system of the companies i was doing are all very systematic and well-organised.

Thanks God that the employees there are helpful and willing to tell much when you are in doubt.

Thanks God for meeting good seniors and following good seniors out of office.

Thanks God i finished my job in an efficient and smooth manner and thanks God that i learned more things today.

Thanks for everything and anything that comes to me. I felt blessed.

Thanks God for being able to back early today.

Thanks Pui Yin for driving us there today.

Thanks Mum for preparing my breakfast today.

Thanks for the gift of luck of all time.

Today is a gift. Tomorrow would be a blessing.^^

Rise of Mummy --> disappointing~

Date:7 November 2010

Duration: 0440pm

I joined the crowd at Dataran Pahlawan yesterday night right after my movie " Rise of Mummy" The movie was disappointing. The plot of the movie was not really a good one and its main attraction of the movie which is the rising of MUMMY was not brought out well too.

林宇中was at Dataran Pahlawan yesterday at eight. There were of course crowd there, but not a really gigantic one, traffic congestion was still considerable too.

I felt that it's a waste. He has talent in music, yet his previous album were sold TWO FOR RM50 if not mistakenly heard. I could see his passion in his carreer, i could feel his unhappiness when he saw such a small crowd on the spot.

Yet, he acted as a professional artiste, performed his best on the stage and entertained his fans.

We left after STEF got her album of 林宇中signed.

We headed to De Rice (一粒米）cafe. We had our secondary schoolmates gathering there.

I was glad to see them after such a long time. I feel grateful to Su Ti for the initiative for making this gathering possible. Many of us do not all the time stayed in Malacca anymore. Sin Yee is working in Singapore, Shirley and Stef are in UM, KL. Su Ti herself is working in KL.

Friendship would never be faded due to distance, rather, it would always be there when you keep each other in the heart.

---Tomorrow is Monday, it would be a bright Monday.^^

Week 3's 3rd day^^

Date: 03 November 2010

Duration: 1036 pm

I backed around 7 something yesterday and today. On Monday, i reached home around 845pm and it was raining like cats and dogs.

Monday, i was clearing NXXXX file. Seriously, i hate clearing file which i did not prepared!

It was really a mess. Some of the figure were wrongly plucked in. Furthemore, it was kind of tedious for me as i was not the one who prepare that working papers. It took much time than usual to clear that file.

The lesson i learnt from Neo and this file clearing is be it slow, it's better to be clear and detailed!

Tuesday, i was halfway clearing NXXXX file that's 10 percent yet to be completed and setting up files for the coming job. Or should i say, it's my current job following. The case is this audit firm's one of the big client which audit fee could probable reach RM 200 K . I started to understand why the audit fee is that high even when i was just setting up files for the audit work. The company has fifteen subsidiaries( inclusive of sub-subsidiaries). It involves mainly in Poultry industry. Each subsidiaries are interrelated.

Today, Wednesday, We had briefing for the job. As this company is a listed company ( BERHAD), the audit procedures are more "serious" compared with other cases.

It's a requirement under IQE 10 or something( i forget what he was mentioning) to brief the audit staffs and ensure everyone has an clear idea of what's the client's business nature.

The briefing took about one and half hour. In the briefing, the manager briefly explained the structure of the company, its business nature as well as the interrelation of its subsidiaries with parent company, the stock nature and classification. At the end of the briefing, the manager assigned these companies to seniors and staff in charge. Some of the companies are dormant( non-active). Hence, of that 16( inclusive of the parent company) companies which could be grouped into Broiler and Layer categories, there are about seven or eight companies that are assigned.

Trainee are assigned to assist seniors in purchase and sales transaction test. I am working with senior named Annie. She is a good senior who gives clear guidance. Thanks alot.^^

The headquater of the company located in a quite under-developed area. I was informed that, once we are assigned this case, be prepared to have packed food all the while till the case ends.

Hmm.. i saw a different perspective of audit. It's a bit different in way of handling as well as documentation too. I could see more serious way of documentation in this case.

That's all because of AUDIT FEE, isn't it?
