Malaysian passport~^^

Date: 23 April 2011 Duration:737pm

I woke up really early today. As early as 645am, i departed to Ayer Keroh to apply for my first passport. Hearing from those who have been to the passport department, there would be crowds in the Department as early as 7am. When i arrived around 715am, there were two person waiting at the counter of forms and "nombor giliran" . I was the third.

Too bad, i did not have any form. I thought i need to requeue again for the second time to submit my application. No, not only i did not queue up for the second time, i was the first to be served. My "nombor giliran" was "1001". Lolz, it must be an amazing thing isn't it? My day started with great luck. Someone there brought extra forms. I requested one from him. Thanks a lot. A millions thanks i should say.

The queue was getting longer as more people added in the queue. It opened at 8am sharp. The two person in front of me submitted their forms. Despite that, the auntie right in front of me was rejected for not submitting two passport photos together with the application. I submitted my applications together with two passport photos and one copy of photocopied IC. I was the first one to enter the waiting hall, sitting right in front of those service counters which only one was on service at that time. Waiting just for a few minutes, i was served and i was told to collect my passport at 930am. That was about 815am.

Seeing that it was quite a long duration. I went for McD breakfast at the nearest branch. It has been such a long time ago i had my last McD Hash Brown. If i am not mistaken, the last time i had it was during my Broga Hill trip in KL.^^ That was really more than half a year ago.

I split milo in Mc D today and that's really embarassing. Well, i had requsted the employee there to clean up my seat before i left.^^. Sorry for the troubles.^^

I headed back to collect my passport. I met my ex-classmate today. She's Sin Yee. It was such a coincidence~She was accompanying his brother for passport application as well. When i was back there, the whole department was filled with people. The crowd was made up of 90% Chineses.Hmm... i wonder why.

I got my first Malaysian Passport....Hong Kong Trip in two more weeks.... I just could wait no more.^^

It officially ended!!!

Wee... It's the official end of my internship( (17 of APRIL!!!!) and I AM GRADUATING..!!! This feel should be great and ...well... i do not know why ...i just do not feel the eager and the joy of graduating YET.

Perhaps it's because of tomorrow is still a working day for me.

You'd probably be laughing at me if i tell you that i just found out my HK trip is in the 9 till 13 May. Well, forgive my ignorance. Sometimes, i just feel too tired to care too much and just want to NOT know about IT first until there's a need to GET KNOW of it.THAT'S ME!!!

Recently, i am so engrossed in a game called the MONOPOLY in Facebook. Monopoly, a really familiar game to you too, isn't it? Well, this game draws lots of childhood memory. I have been playing this game since last week. Frankly speaking, it's kind of boring game actually but i just do not know why would i still be playing it. Perhaps i am just too bored and could only entertain myself with MONOPOLY.^^

It's end of the internship, which mean it's time to produce the internship final report as well. The due date is 6 May.... nah... the due date is still far far away... i could probably take my own sweet time to get it done. Hopefully, i have the ideas on what to write about at that time. You know, writing moods really comes with inspiration to write as well, be it a simple blog-post or this kind- of-important final report.

Hmm... Isn't it great if tomorrow i could just sleep till noon and have a little shopping?

Too bad too bad, it's just not the time yet. I am awaiting the end of these two weeks.!!!

Goodbye

It's the 14. and left few more minutes i should say, it's the end of my internship with this audit firm. Today should be a day of releasing for me and coursemates. Well, it does not seem to be a special days to me. It was not my last day working. Though tomorrow is holiday, bringing back work to do is not an abnormal phenomena anymore. I am staying back for two more weeks, bringing back works to do is still considerable. As for Sri, he is really ending his training and yet he needs to come out with a report before he finally off from this audit firm. The team leader asked him to email the draft report to him once he's done, isn't this a bit harsh?

He is not just an example that i could mention, there was another trainee previously working in this audit firm who had worked overtime before she left. She even needed to come back on Saturday after the last Friday she had in the firm to draft her report. I started to worry actually.The last job that i am going to take would determine my destiny. The higher the audit fee, the worse would i be. Or should i be more optimistic? The much more i would learn?

Seeing this two real life examples and hearing so much more examples from colleages, i need to be frank that i am really in worries.

I am still in the previous weeks job. There are too many changes to make, with each changes getting more and more major and causing bigger and bigger impacts to the reports i'm drafting.

Firstly, it was the disclosure amendments from partners, and next is the changes in adoption of PERS to FRS. AND THAT'RE REALLY HUGE DIFFERENCES between PERS and FRS--> especially in year 2010 when the new FRS is effective from. The disclosures could just double the total pages.

Despite that, i really learnt a lot from just drafting the reports. I thank the team leader that i am under right now. She sincerely taught me the FRS which i think she could probably choose not to tell me.

Frankly speaking, in working world, people has the right to NOT TO HELP or NOT TO TEACH you a single thing, what would he/ she gets in return when he/she wastes his/her time teaching ?

I appreciated all the things i learned from this audit firm, all the helping hands that are just right there for me when i am stucked in a problem, all the guidances from the team leaders, the seniors, all the tolerance for mistakes i made,mall the joys that's brought to me.

Everyone is asking how much the firm is actually paying me that could make me willingly stay for two more weeks? Not frank answers i gave all the time. But a senior's words really reminded me of the ultimate purpose of the internship here.

He says:" Don't care how much they are paying you, if you 're staying for one more day with no pay, but with one more day experience that you're earning, it's far more worthwhile than the money that you'd be getting. The experience would get you richer. Don't just work but not learning like somebody"

I agreed his words. I know very well the purpose that i chose this firm but not the big fours. I just wanted to learn the most in the shortest time. As his saying. the experience would get you richer--> It's just another way of saying your fair value would get higher with more experience that you accumulate.

For the new trainees that've just entered or whoever that would be going intern soon, i wish you guys understand the saying above, care not that you're underpaid but overwork. You should be thankful that you're learning, learning to cope under stress, learning to have better time management and learning to communicate in the real adult world.

Once again, i am grateful though i'm actually groaning at the same time.

It's the end of six months internship, I have to go....but i do not know where i'm leaving for...,...

I am tired, but just not that willing to sleep...I'm sick, the coughing medicine just does not doze me off....

Four more

It's 27 March today and in four more days, i would need to come out three more years files and reports....This is such a terrible case.

I am counting down, left four more weeks aka one month before this intern end. I promised to stay for another two more weeks in this company. I guessed so in monetary term, it's a correct decision.

I am not so sure what case would i be handling soon. Right now, i am just in a hope that this case would end. GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

I should sleep now. Night~~^^

The eighth

Date: 14 March 2011

Duration: 2241

Mood: Heavy eyelids

Counting down from 15 April, one more months or four more weeks left before i leave this company. As aforementioned in the previous post, it's a complicated feeling to leave or should i say, to choose to leave.

Within a month, seven had resigned and the eighth is appearing. He resigned as i expected. I heard about his plan to go for better opportunity in KL. Well, his resignation as the eighth is not to my surprise.

Seeing so many leaving, perhaps i should go for somewhere better, perhaps to a Company that could better take care of its employees--- be it in monetary term or career perspective.

I am not criticising the Company that i am currently in training with, it's just that maybe there is really somewhere better that could make eight people in a very short 30 days to made the same decision, the decision to leave for somewhere better, rather than being here.

Not to be denied, the people in this firm is really caring and willing to share, it is indeed a good place to learn, too bad, perhaps it's just not a better place to stay.

It's the very first time in this Company that eight left within a month, and i heard another two more are hesitating to leave as well. It's really hard to persuade people that the Company is compensating its employees well, isn't it?

It's a complicated feeling

My internship is drawing an end soon. I am counting down with six more weeks left.

The MMU lecturer would be visiting me and two more traineess in this coming Tuesday. I am not in worry at all as i know Grace, the manager( just being promoted as manger) would be complimenting our performance despite what mistakes we have done.

It's going to end soon and it's a complicated feeling right now. Where should i go after this? It's another tough decision to make. I feel tired after being assigned outstation for several weeks. I need a short break, perhaps right after this internship.

I reached Malacca at noon today, been sleeping for several long hours since i was home. I have no idea why am i still feeling that tired after such a good rest. Am i physically tired or mentally tired? Tired of entering office this coming Monday?

Perhaps i am tired of entering office, the office that filled with people with smiling faces, yet with unknown thought.

In that six months of training, if you are doing mistakes for the past three months, nobody would blame you, but for another remaining three months, if you are still doing mistakes, you are hell in big hot soup.

I am leaving, yet i do not know where should i be going. It's a complicated feeling.

Tomorrow would be the last day of Chinese New Year. Time really flies and here it comes, the end of chinese new year. I did not really celebrate the new year, neither did i feel the chinese new year mood. I guess so it's because i have to work outstation and being involved in a minor accident on the fifth day of chinese new year. The cheers for new years just end too soon for me. I could only feel the new year for five days and i have to start working.

Well, tomorrow is Chinese society's valentine's day, it's day when all the singles gather at the rivers, making wishes for meeting another half, and throwing mandarin oranges with the wishes made. It's tradition of Chinese and we are still doing that in this modern days. The only difference is just that handphone numbers are written on the mandarin oranges.^^

Today is Wednesday, two more days i shall be going back hometown. See my friends in malacca soon.

Broga Hill trip,here i come.^^
