the smell of freedom has never been sweeter.
the past 1 year has been torturous. Not saying that it will get any better from now, but looking back, year 2 is really a very tough one.
I have subjects like AA201 which is all about FRSs and the NEJ textbook and doin proj on Popular. and AA202 was like all the abbreviations: REMM, EVA, PAT and stuff, all the sophisticated names and theories and a very sucky paper.
Come this sem, i have subjects like how to use controls to mitigate risks (aa205) and how to invest in a portfolio of stocks, doin business valuation and using the BAV software (aa206). For the last 3 months +, i was surrounded with figures, financial statements, objectives, risks, controls, company law section 216,157,162,339, SFA sec 218,219, BA98,99, writing persuasive letters, making presentations and such..........it was HELLUVA SEMESTER!!!!
but i also got to know a great bunch of friends like: Xinni, James, Junwei, Cindy, Sihui, Tingting, Winnie, Yueting, Bisheng, Wenting, Willie and many more.... I can't say how much i've actually enjoyed this sem in particular, but I've never been so happy doin projects with my group mates!!! hah it may sound crazy but for once, i actually dun feel the burden of doin a project!! guess we really did make fun out of it and totally enjoyed it ourselves. Wish i could be in the same class again with these bunch of people!! ;)
it's finally holidays. Ben said he will have booze for 3D3N and get himself wasted. Edwin says he has alot of menial tasks to do like getting his comp fixed. Roy has a packed schedule right up till the last day before PA. Me? Hmm, i'm still thinking but I'll only have this long weekend to spare for my family and friends coz i'm leaving for KL for 3Days until next thurs. ( I know i've repeated this umpteen times but at least let me feel like i'm very pre-occupied can??? ;)
oh and i jus found out that my PA company is only goin to pay me $540 (subjected to change by the company) and i'm working on alternate Saturdays!!! How bad can it get man??? I really can't believe this. Even the Big 4s are paying 20+ interns $650 each, what bout 3 meagre interns at a small firm in one of the shophouses in Tg Pagar??? I guess they really need to save money.... haizzzzz
and as for the appeal for lunch kah-kees a few entries back, I don't mind if you guys have a BIG heart and treat me to a few meals, coz as u see, I prob earn the lowest amount of money amongst all u peeps SO U GUYS BETTER TREAT ME!!! =P (I'm such an a**hole. wateva.)
Yeah so u know what? my strategy is I'm goin to work hard for like the first 2 weeks of PA and show them that Ms Seow Shu Jie is a hardworking-diligent-keen to learn-ugly-piece-of-shit so that their conscious pricked and may give me a raise. But i think the "3 meagre interns at a small firm in one of the shophouses in Tg Pagar" will prob give me an additional $10 kopi money only. WTF.
Oh and i wonder if u've heard that Roy's' fren went for a slimming programme and lost 20kg in 2 weeks???? *jaw drops* Yes, i've already asked him to ask his fren which slimming centre he went and how much did he pay. If it's affordable, i dun mind shedding 10kgs, that'll be enough for me. Va-va-voom!!!! Here's a little preview of how I'll eventually look like after losing 10kg:
