The world is so big yet so small

The good part of MEN

Men are like............... WEATHER............... nothing can be done to change them.
Men are like ...............GOVERNMENT BONDS.......... they take so LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG to mature.
Men are like................LAXATIVES.......... they iritate the crap out of you.


So random thoughts from the e-mail sent by my aunt...............
I cannot agree more with my feet!!!!

My goals and dreams in life!

It is now April 2011.... time seriously flies real fast this year for goodness sake.

What am I aiming this year?

At the start of 2011, I had a mission: enjoy life, eat, work, shop and travel the globe.

I always enjoy life ........... ALWAYS!!

I spend my money to eat and shop. Just cannot understand those stingy people that are not willing to try out new things in life. Definitely not me, is just so not me...

I am a shopaholic, but being an accountant, I know how to control my spending, spend it on necessary stuff, things that I like, want and need.

Travel the globe, yes.... I am really aiming for this. My manager saw me dining in in the office on Monday and asked me, why do you eat in today?

I was like.... because I feel poor. Then he goes on, I know where all your money gone, holidays!!

and I truly and wonderfully said YES.

Travelled to Sydney for thr 6th time, went to Hunter Valley and Port Stephens during the long weeeknd for VIC labour day.

Goingt to Hobart and Launceston during Easter 2011.

Going to Gold Coast Movie World for the 3rd time in May 2011.

Really aiming for States this year. It has been 5 years since my last desperate trip to USA, which I failed in getting the travelling visa.

What do I want to do down the track?

I really aim to quit my job and go back to Malaysia for short stay. Call me stupid, foolish or whatever you want. I have my own plans and goals in life.

1st thing off from work, I will want a real long break just chill and rot and do nothing.

I enjoy mucking around not doing anything when I have the time.

Next, I want to get my PADI diving license. Always wanted it, but never have time to do it.

Already 2 in the Wong family got the diving license, I will make it to the 3rd.

Underwater world is really awesome, dived once in Pulau Payya, the memories are unforgettable.

After I have enough, I will start working for my daddy. Time to learn something from my beloved daddy before I regret and is too late.

If you ask me, do I feel reluctant to leave Melbourne? My answer is yes/no/maybe.

I want a change after all, 6 years in OZ is long enough for me to discover this nation. From being a student to unemployed and to employed................

I can always come back if I don't like it back home, for I am a PR after all .........

Alrightee.... I will apply my USA visa soon and we shall see what is the next move....

I want to go to Disneyland ............ my ever childhood dream place to go to meet my love, Mickey Mouse. Don't ask me why I like Mickey, no reason for that........ maybe I am a mouse myself after all, I am not an Ox ....... :P

The Call

Finding God's call for my life

What am I passionate about ?

I am very passionate about travelling. I just want to become a travel freak, stepping my foot step in all parts of the world. I dunno why I just like to travel, maybe it all started with my family trip to Thailand.

My passion for ice cream. Yes, I called myself ice cream lover, but I am very very picky. I only like ice cream with smooth texture, not those icy poles ice cream. I was really disappointed the 30cm Korean ice cream stall in Sydney was no longer there when I visited Sydney for the 6th time during 2011 VIC labout day weekend.

What am I good at?

I believe I have 6 sense in certain things which I really think I do. LOL........

I am good at being who I am... I do not need to fake myself out to win someone's heart......

My belief is if I have to give up my true personality to get to where I need to be, that path is not worth going .

I have very very strong personality. I might say things which will poke someone's heart, but I do not meant it. But just being yourself after all.............

I am good at making my own judgement call. I do not need to care about what other people think of me.

Just be yourself, is your life after all. You live for yourself not others!!

What breaks my heart?

The 1st time I heard the word TSUNAMI when I was in China during 2004 Christmas with my family and ex. While you were enjoying the great time spent together, how pathetic it is to have a big wave that strike and took 200,000 lifes away. All of the sudden the world's population just shrink. Maybe I have been to Phi Phi Island in Thailand and knowing how small the island is, nothing will survive when the Tsunami striked that place. SAD.

The 1st earthquake in NZ, 10 days it happend right after I left Christchurch in August 2010. I called myself to be real lucky to escape that. Having seen the Christchuch cathederal twice, it just gone and collapsed during the 2nd earthquake.

Best of all, my exes told me to open up my eyes and find some one that loves me more. I will.......... I am still searching !! I have faith in God that HE will save me the best one. Some people might think I am foolish, all I could say is everything happened for a purpose, for better or worse, you judge it yourself.

My motto: Don't know don't care.............

I choose to have world peace, appreciate life to its fullest with all my heart while I can.

I will give my best to everything I do.

Life is just too fragile. Friends' daddy just passed away from heart attack like that with no sympton given beforehand, while they were overseas. It just seriously breaks my heart to listen to this kind of news.

What is my next step to get there?

I do believe God has set a destiny for each of us. No matter where I ended up one day, I always treasure the journey I have been through in my life.

Even people can come and fail you, hurt you, is OK, time will heal and God miracle healing power is really awesome.

I always learn from my mistakes, I do, grow my self esteem and proceed further. Prasie Lord for making who I am today.

I always want YOU to show me the path and direction in my life!!

Give thanks and be grateful! :)

Melbourne

I always wonder why would I ended up in Melbourne?
Why am I still here?
I have chose to study in Melbourne after I completed my 1st year in Victoria Uni Sunway Campus.
I applied to study in UK once I finished my A-Level, first choice-Cardiff Unitversity and last choice-Heriot Watt University. But I did not go for some reason............
Thank God I ended in Melbourne. I been to Cardiff, Welsh place, found that I don't really like it there.
After completing my Accounting and Finance undergraduate degree from Melbourne Uni, I have decided to apply for my PR and stay on.
Found my first job and still working there now.....
Where is my destiny going to be? Does it mean I am going to be stuck here forever for making the decision to stay on to work here?
I really got no clue.
I miss my family back home very much, if only I could move them over here, that will be perfect. But, I don't think this is going to work, for I know my dad and mum wouldn't like it here.
I have my own goals, perhaps when I am sick and tired of here, I will leave one day.

Being an accountant...........

Being an accountant, what skills do I need to possess to do my job?

1. Analytical skills- I have to analyse what is the problem when I look at the profit and loss account and balance sheet. How come those figures changed, decrease or increase. What is the cause of it?

2. Arithmatic skills- You do not need to be very good in counting to become an accountant. But you have to understand +, -, X, *. Some people just could not cope with figures at all. They don't understand why.

3. Conceptual- That's a lot of concepts behind the calculations. Why is it like that and not like that? When my manager explains to me, he will go, ok story time.......... there he goes on explaining. He likes to talk for sure ....... and often I get lost and side track from his story and forgetten what I wanted him to explain to me. He is very smart in catching me whether I understand or not, you couldn't lie from your eyes or face expressions........Like once he finished, he will stare at you do you understand? I will mmmmmmm....... half maybe not. Sometimes, he will said you don't get it. Then he goes, is ok, start again........He is very patient with me for sure. But he gets agitated when I don't let him to finish up his sentences. He always said to me I can't wait and see how your husband gets to talk one day. hahaha

Same like Ms Helen, she will go with his fingers pug, pug, pug! She is a little bit different in explaining it, she is fast. Once you catched the concept, you will get it.

4. Judgement call- With accounts, there are always some judgetment calls that you need to make. When you do not have enough information, and you are stuck for sure that there is no way of proceeding it further. Just stop and send queries out to client and ask.Otherwise, I will yelled to Con (my manager), Con I need your help. Otherwise, I will stand up from my cubical and waive to him, and he knows I needed help. Sometimes he just joke around and said you want me to talk your hands... I will say yes. I am very daring and outspoken in a way I think for not many people and cope with me sometimes. For that is the joy I am having with my team mates...... we cope along well.

5. Puzzle skills- When you start with a set of accounts, you have to start doing it from scratch based on information provided by your client. You have to put it in place. Especially when you get stuck and send queries to client, you need to put the queries in words. Once you got a reply fromt client, thats the puzzle playing time when you have to put it back to the hole/spot that you are missing.

6. Spot on- You need to be spot on with your figures and workings. You cannot be wrong in terms of concepts. Shit happens always when you send out something to clients and they come back to you and you realised far out....... how come I missed it. But, you have to accept that it is done and cannot be undone.

7.Fixing skills - You need to know how to fix things. There is this button when you do accounts that hit verify problems, next fix... it will automically tells you what is out of balance if there is any.

Then you go and dig in and find out what went wrong, and fix it. Like we have to fix shits, when sometimes is not done by you, and you complained and complained but just bear with it........ cause I am the client relationship manager after all. I have to bear the responsibilty and explain to client if they ever comes back to me why is like that. But we hate annal client who keeps biting you and not letting you go with your calculations, doubting on you once they found 1 small mistake. Yes, is never perfect, but hopefully is alright. After all, we are all humans...

Guess how those skills all shaped my personality, for I am an accountant after all!!

I love my job still for now!!
