S.O.S.

Help me.

I'm so darn frustrated now.

Workload is so much that I have to bring home to complete, and the dateline is 7th of January. And I'm doing it with charity.

Goodness.

I'm beginning to really show the symptoms of stress. Loss of appetite (chance for me to go slimmer but I don't want this way swt), mood's not that good. Certainly I'm not helped by the fact that I used so many lousy laptops in the office either corrupted with virus, slow laptops as slow as Pentium 2 using WINDOWS ME or WINDOWS 98, OR a laptop which shuts down itself.

I USED ALL OF THEM IN A WEEK. Worse, sometimes I don't even have a laptop to finish my work.

But for the sake of learning, I'll continue, as this client is one of the biggest clients of my company. But the way I see it, the operations suck.

Beauty of accounting, is that you can laugh your arse out of how the transactions can sometimes go hillarious.

Now, my mood is even worse when MU JUST LOST TO WEST HAM. As a MU fan myself, I fully think MU really deserved to lose.

Let's hope Arsenal slipped up also. Sigh.

Bad day. Bad week.

Guess I have not done my night prayers for few days. Just fell asleep once I touched the bed. Lord, forgive me.

But thankfully, through God's powers, I received useful messages from my boss, which sounds like this,

What carries you far in work, and your life, is not how brilliant you work. It's your personality that determines how far you go.

In every adversities, there is ALWAYS a good side to them.

We always admire aristocrats from books, but to see one in real-life, is really inspiring. =)

Christmas Prayers

Dear Father Lord,

It has been a wonderful year,
truly blessed,
with Your arms around me when I have my up and downs,
even though I do not deserve it at all.

I have not been sincere to You at times,
I lied,
I have been frustrated by life sometimes,
I complain unnecessarily,
I disappoint.

But Lord, You have once again reminded me,
that life's always full of hope,
and how Your grace made me stronger throughout the year,
and appreciative of what I have but others don't.

You,
Family,
Friends.
Her.
Church friends,
Pastor.

Thank you Lord for being there for me all the time.

As the new year comes, I pray that You replenish me,
rekindle my burning spirit to achieve my aims
and never lose faith in You,
be a better person than what I am now.

I would also like to pray for my family, church members, friends and her,
who have so often been with me,
happy or sad,
Business Plan, outings, church events, sharings of problems together.
May they are blessed with Your grace as well.

May all of us have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year.

Amen.

SOS!

I am having a REAL headache right now.

ANYONE,

ANY IDEAS FOR A PRESENT WORTH RM20?

It's for this stupid present-exchanging thing in my company's Christmas party in my boss's house.

WHAT PARTY SETS A RULE OR LIMIT FOR ITS PRESENTS?

=S

Anyway, I would really appreciate any ideas from all of you. Anyone.

THANKS A BUNCH! =)

Fantastico

Any football fan will be like me, anticipating for the MOST important weekend of the EPL season, come tomorrow.

No other football leagues can witness such fierce rivalries between the clubs.

Notably,



LIVERPOOL

VS



MANCHESTER UNITED

The rivalry of these two illustrious clubs existed since the era before I came out of my mom's womb, with classic matches which produced both significant and undeserving results for both sides. Not forgetting the great players and moments of brilliance produced which make the world so enthralled towards this gigantic clash. Fans from both sides give another dimension of excitement as well, or in another words, the atmosphere is ALWAYS deafening.

NEVERTHELESS, I hope MU can have an upper-hand over Liverpool. =P

What's more,




ARSENAL

VS

CHELSEA
Can you imagine, England's top 4 will meet each other on the SAME DAY at the SAME WEEKEND itself.
Fantastico.

Finally

I see the meaning of work!

After consecutive days of so-called "trainee" work (actually it is cheap labour to be honest) whereby few trainees and myself were asked, or paid to do filing. Filing as in arranging files according to numbers ONLY, and what's worse, we are supposed to arrange EVERYTHING in the new office room at the top floor.

What worst time could I possibly have to come to work in a company which just got renovated? GOSH!

And to think that the management said that we trainee MOST probably might not have place to sit as all the employees are back from their leaves.

We are the ones arranging the room for you people, and you tell me that we DO NOT have place to sit in the new office?

I'm really thankful I'm blessed with tremendous patience and few employers in there who were still nice to us, especially Claudine, the company secretary. =)

I have so many darn hillarious tales to share here with all of you in my 2 weeks of work, and I'll post more when I'm free. =D

Despite all the hard and nonsense work for the past few days, I think it finally paid off. At first, I came to office and sat there staring at the ceiling for a good one hour (which I'm amazed as it was the emptiest moment of my life) as the person I'm assigned to, was so busy that she forgot about us I assume. So after a good one hour sticking my butt to the chair, I somehow got inspired to go ask a senior near my desk to teach me what was he doing as I see hope in him.

IT REALLY DID!

My definition of work starts from that moment of brilliance. Lol.

So this senior, who has been working for quite a few years now, taught me the first thing auditors must do, which is statutory auditing. So after a brief explanation in which I'm already so happy like a dog wagging its two tails,

HE SO KINDLY ASKED THE SENIORS FOR ME IF THERE ARE ANY STATUTORY AUDIT FILES TO DO! =D

God's wonderful man. So we started with some files, and although my first attempt was very hard, I think I smiled for the longest period in my entire 2 weeks here at work. Lol.

I don't mind not having permanent seats as long as I have something to learn. =)

Rebuilding

It's been nearly a week since I last posted in my blog, and guess I never left my blog that long lol.

As you should know, I have been busy in working, and I do realize that working AIN'T fun at all. Seriously.

I really hope to learn more starting tomorrow onwards as thus far, I did not learn anything much. =S But one good thing is, the ever non-stop rushing culture of Malaysians has enabled me to keep, somewhat fit as I have to run up and down, sometimes even jumping down elevators just to catch the ever-unpredictable trains. Swt.

So today Pastor Ong shared with us about rebuilding ourselves in terms of character and things that we should do, and his words made me reflect on a lot of things especially this crazy world of ours.

Back then great leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi fought for the freedom of the people, in which right now, the freedom is misused in many ways. Initially they fought with blood and tears to earn freedom, but seems like right now, the world has seen freedom as a tool of disastrous killings and the loss of innocent lives.

Too much freedom presumably.

Look at the world now. Look at Malaysia alone. Many years ago, a brutal killing of a 7-year-old would never be heard of. In contrast, child sex slavery is so common in some parts of the world since the turn of the millennium. Terrorism done by Asians was viewed as something "impossible" to happen, but after 911, America had to bow down to the abilities of Asian terrorism.

Where has the inner-conscience of humanity gone? Why are we destroying ourselves and the world which God has given to us? Why are we still doing things that we know they are wrong?

Ask yourselves. How many times have we gone against ourselves, and God just to get what we want for ourselves? We are all sinners, including me and the fact every minimal mistakes that we commit, are sins too. I lied before, I admit.

But the good thing is, we undeservingly have a HOPE, in which God has sent his only One, Jesus to Earth to save all of us. Unconditional love was, and always is what He gives towards all of us sinners, and also so many disabled ones out there. He's not afraid to get infected by sickness when He approached the sick ones.

Will we do that?

The sense of care and love are what the world lacks now. The SMS sent around to tarnish Dato Hishamuddin before the General Elections saying he doesn't need votes from all of us Chinese and Indians to win, just shows how foolish and greedy certain parties are just to earn victory. So many people out there would just do anything to save their own skin at the expense of others. For that matter, one of them used to be one of my close ones, and one whom i don't consider of getting close to anymore. Greed was the word that destroyed him in the end, and he never returned since. How much tears he used to bring to me, but after that the acceptance of Christ has taught me a lesson to not to be greedy and not to hurt my loved ones at best, even though the experience was a really painful one.

Nothing's too late though. Peace all over the world is still achievable if everyone has compassion, and certainly, the will to rebuild oneself. =)

Lastly, some updates on EPL, ARSENAL going down at Boro 2-0 XD

Fa-la-la Period

Understood, Christmas and New Year's eve are coming.

EXCITED I AM! =D

Just few weeks away from now, but the bad thing is, I might start work next week, which makes me even busier.

My first official work, and thankfully in an accounting firm. RM600 as pay for first-year students like me and doing some data entry stuff, so I should be fine. =)

I can finally apply my cyberslacking skills I posted in my blog last time. Boss, try catching me muahahahaahha. =P Just kidding. I'm not that professional.

Decorations were already on in some shopping complexes, and I would think we lack one important factor,

SNOW!


To think that EVERYTIME I have to celebrate Christmas under burning sunlights or torrential rains if we are unlucky. =S Lol. I have always wondered how celebrating Christmas in overseas will be like, and after seeing them building snowmans, throwing snowballs and ice-skating (not fake ice in Sunway Pyramid), how I wished I could be there.





Christmas in Germany.

So different from Malaysia, isn't it?

But of course, all in all, the most important thing is that I am able to celebrate Christmas in church together with my loved ones. =D





The bells are ringing folks. Time to shop for Christmas.
