Pay rise + 1 mth pro-rated bonus! Sounds gd but I tell you it isnt. Lowest salary among the Big 4, TOIL policy removed, sloughed like hell and efforts are not recognised.

Im expecting many of my colleagues to tender within the next few weeks after getting the bonus.

As I mentioned that I was thinking quitting, I thought about it and feel I shouldn't quit becos of this single damn incident. I will only quit when I have become to be on bad terms with a lot of people in the company and that Im unlikely going to promote to senior level.

Im auditing at a PAP old folks day centre at Tampines these few days. Come to think of it, old folks day centres aren't a really bad thing. Their children may be working in the day time and do not have the ability to look after them in the daytime. There are many folks to make friends with. There are also many activities lining up for them like art and craft, music lessons, and some exercising activities, much better than stoning at home alone while the children are working. Seriously I won't mind attending one of these day centres when I am old and senile.

Looking through their profiles, its very sad that many of them face financial problems and require government subsidies. It is possible that a sole breadwinner is only earning $1000+ for 7 people. Some of these poor families are also taking care of another family member with mental illness or illness that require long term medication and therapy. I thought these extreme cases will only happen on TV drama, but these folks are live examples of such cases. I really wonder how they can survive with the meagre income they have when we are earning $2+K and we keep complaining how poor we are. So statement about Singaporean's average income at $2.5K is true.

So these few days I was thinking how fortunate I am and that I should not be spending lavishly on things. Then yesterday I stupidly ate crabs at Serangoon Road with 4 other friends and each had to pay $50!!!!

Attended JM's convo. Congrats! Even though you graduate with gd results, but bear in mind that gd results does not equate to success, it just gives you a gd head start. I'm still happy that you have graduated and found a job! So that means you will start earning $$ and can spend more muahahahahah....

I lack every character trait that an auditor should possess. What a failed auditor I am.

Today i have the sudden urge to quit (but now i have cooled down).

1 more year... but can I even tolerate another 1 year?

Im not sure how many of you have family day every week, but I have on every sunday.

Last sunday has proven that I am not truely forgotten in my family haha. I used to be forgotten because I was away from home for a period of time (i.e. they always forget to buy my breakfast back home becos they forgot im sleeping at home). I told mama on Wednesday that I had cravings for crabs and hoped to eat crab on sunday. My mama remembered about it and really cooked my crabs for me! (the thing is I forgot about it) *touched*

2nd event that touched me is that JM came all the way from home just to have a 30min lunch with me. =)

I said in my previous post that i may have to brave through another peak period before i can travel. I take back my words. I WANT TO TRAVEL VERY BADLY NOW!!!! anyone keen to go anywhere with me in aug/oct/nov? Karen Ang!!! UK trip!!!!

When I went back to office, the funny thing is 3 pple who saw me asked me how the hell my typing maniac can be that gd. Im not that gd actually (im ranked 6th among my friends). Maybe RMT should second me to typing room when im unassigned.

ok im tired. I sleep 7 or 8 hrs a day and im still tired.

Another favourite song of mine. My last tribute to MJ.

Michael Jackson - Heal the world.

Haiz.. its time for me to wake up from my dreams and go back to reality, that I am a full-time auditor, and that I should I should be spending most of my time at work instead of playing and looking for friends. I am the most reluctant person to go back to office tmr.

I have enjoyed my 2 wks of TOIL, in between falling sick and settling some of the stuff that Im supposed to settle long ago. I guess i may have to brave through another peak period before I can travel again.

My violin exam is coming, but I am not extremely not confident. Then I stupidly signed up for September company's core training because I forgot about my violin exam in Sept.

Promoted!!!

Although promoted, I feel the promotion list is rubbish. It is not proportionate to the results that you produced. Why do some people with below average performance get promoted while some with much better performance dont?

We do not know the increment in salary nor the bonus. So we will work for this month and tell people we do not know anything about our pay until the payday. Wow sounds exciting!

Today I heard of another 2 cases of A10 tendering.


A note to my gd friend:

Always give 100% effort to do whatever tasks you are given. But if you've put in 100% effort and yet your work is not recognised, perhaps you are not suitable to do this task and should try doing other tasks that you are good at.
