Chapter 313: First month of work

Helloooo, I've been waiting for the 14th to come so that I can blog something HAHAHA

Time flies. I've already been in KPMG for a month now. And from Day 1 until now, I've definitely learned a lot of things. Here's a few, including life in general, not in sequence.

1. Being blur in the beginning is perfectly normal.
I panicked a lot in the beginning because I just wasn't sure. Like when they asked me go down to ITS to pass/get stuff, I got lost so I had to ask around. Now the ITS is like my second home HAHAHAHAHA ok just kidding. And I also learned how to print letters, despatch items, bind documents, scan and photostat documents etc. These are pretty simple tasks but it's the foundation of everything we're going to do. I feel very accomplished when I manage to do something, at least, to contribute to the firm LMAO.

2. Almost everyone is good in presentations. 
I realized this during our trainings. We were asked to write down our opinions and present them in a short amount of time, and I noticed that almost everyone was able to present properly, which pushed me to want to do better. And what I liked was that everyone was very proactive so that's nice. Then it kinda hit me that if we weren't in the slightest bit good in presenting, we wouldn't all be here, would we? 

3. Don't listen to too many rumors.
I've heard a lot of bad rumors about audit life, so I had my expectations kept to the minimum. I was quite taken aback as it totally didn't reflect what others had told me. I don't know if it's because it's the non-peak season now? Because the seniors were really helpful in teaching us stuff. It'll probably be different when the peak season comes, but I'll update y'all on that. I guess for most of the time, you'd have to experience it on your own instead of merely listening to others.

4. The distance from 1U Dataran to office is really darn far. 
Lmao okay this is just a random non-beneficial thing. HAHAHA. It's basically the same distance from Pyramid to College. To the peeps who park in Pyramid and walk to Col everyday, I feel you. And can I say that there were a few places I passed by which reeks? Idk what smell that is but it's really disgusting lmao.

5. You're in charge of your own life and responsibilities now. 
I'm glad I got the chance to further my studies in a place other than home, albeit not being out of the country. At least I knew something about living away from home. It's just that now I'm earning and using my own money. People may say that I'm too young to graduate and come out to work (Yes, my own cousin said that to me), but I think it's great that I managed to clinch a professional degree in 3 years. What's wrong with wanting to let my mom lead an easier life?

6. Just Do It. 
In life, we always make mistakes. But through mistakes, we learn. I regret not having this attitude during college days. I always made myself wait, because I needed time to "settle down". You know what? Fuck settling down. You can settle down sooner or later. But chances don't come by easily. If you're given an opportunity to do something, just do it, don't think anymore. Which is why this time, when my friend asked me to join the Tennis team, I said yes straight away. I am participating in the Inter-firm Accounting Games (IAFG) 2017 HAHAHAHA. I honestly don't know how it'll go but I'll do my best for sure.

7. Don't Rush. 
The thing about me is... I tend to rush, be it during work or anything in general. I rush. Then I make mistakes. Then I get sad. Lololol. It's a vicious cycle. I should learn how to slow down, let life take place, and just chill. No one is releasing a dog to chase you. I guess the saying "you are your own enemy" holds true.

This is all I could think of for now, to my own surprise. I thought I had more to jot down haha. I guess I'll just add them on along my journey. I've successfully adulted for a month! LOLOL. Life is going to get tougher as the time goes by, but I'll just try to enjoy the journey.

Who Diz?

Hi I'm Celine. No I don't expect you to know me - hence this tab. I don't expect myself to update this tab every other year either, so you don't have to ask my age, though you can probably guess my age if you are keen to stalk my whole blog lol. Anyway, I have trouble coming up with my bio as I don't want to sound self-absorbed but haaaaaaaaa in the end this is my blog, I am supposed to sound self-absorbed. I am married with three cats and four dogs. Did I get your attention now? Alright. For real though, I am currently still a student with a non-midlife existential crisis at the moment waiting for my results to be released which will determine a life or death situation aka will I eventually graduate or not? (p.s. ACCA students, I got your back. *gang sign*) I enjoy mocking and irritating people in my free time, but I also love playing tennis. I live for the satisfaction of sarcasm, but I also do enjoy a good cup of coffee to go with it. I sometimes p...

Chapter 315: Year End Review 2017

I know I haven't been diligent in updating this space even though there were times that I wish I did when I had something on my mind. Year end reviews have been something I do on a yearly basis so I don't wanna leave this out for 2017! I'll just merge this together with my life updates in this post. And as usual, I'm gonna use my instagram as a guide wtf I'm that lazy. 1. I Graduated and Became an ACCA Affiliate *Please bear with the super low quality pic I regret not bringing my DSLR okay?? This is something I feel extremely lucky about. Anything could have happened to my last paper. And I was intimidated from the stories I heard about failing ACCA, sometimes more than once. I took the leap of faith and just did it, at the same time giving room to myself for maximum 1 failure attempt. I can't believe I completed it without any failures, something I owe it to my lecturers, family and friends. I know it's not the end, and I have so many more things...

Chapter 314: This piece of shit

I have not posted something so raw in my blog before, but here goes nothing. We met on the court, started off as friends, tennis mates, nothing more. It's funny because prior to that, we always missed meeting each other. When I was there, he wasn't, vice versa. A few months later, we started talking to each other more, and the rest, as they say, is history. Side story though - I actually rejected him once because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a relationship, but he persisted on. I'm glad he did. He is the kind of guy who is witty without even trying, always making me burst out in laughter without fail. He is generous and helpful to everyone, even to strangers. But it's a different story after knowing him HAHAHA no la joking. I'm glad that we have the same interests, and the same kind of humor. We have an imperfect relationship, but he never once raised his voice at me. He taught me that love isn't merely spoken words, it's the actions that make ...
