Mindset

Most of the time, now, I feel I couldn't understand what youngsters nowadays are thinking. Wait, aren't I one of them? You must be wondering, but sadly to say, i feel myself much older than them. Mindset is very powerful to segregate between groups of people. We will get closer to each other just simply because we have same mindset that enables the communication between us, agree? I strongly feel that now.

Ok, admit that i don't have much friends, as i mostly cannot agree with youngster's thoughts. This makes me feel myself like an old aunty sometimes, that my thought will be over mature, or in another word, "old" until the level that most of the youngsters cannot accept. Let's take an example, i feel we should save money. First group of youngsters will say "we are entitled to spend to reward ourselves". Mindset not matched. Second group of youngsters will say "yes we should save, and then saving can be used for travelling, beauty, clothing, etc.etc.". Mindset not matched again. Third group will say "yes we should save, but we should live well too, for instance, we should eat at restaurant instead of hawker stalls.". Mindset not matched still. Then you might be wondering what would i say then? I would say "We should save. We should live with limit on spending. We should always think of our future.". Get it?

I am old right? But i am happy with this, and i believe youngsters who cannot agree with my thought will definitely think of my words someday, SOMEDAY.

Recent Life

Well, i will use the same opening sentence as my last post. "IT HAS BEEN AGES, AGES, AND AGES!" Basically I shouldn't have blamed my busy life as it's my own fault also to be too lazy on updating. Besides, i do not really have much special things to share. I feel very (should i say envy? not exactly. amazed? it sounds too strong - it isn't that good) ...... (can't think of a suitable adjective) to see some people keep on updating the blog, as in one post per day or even four posts per week, with nicely taken pictures and well-constructed paragraph. I wish i, too, have enough time to segregate between job, relationship, parents and BLOG. LOL. I wonder how some people can do this, but maybe i am not so smart to learn this so-called SKILL. =D

How's my work? So far so good i would say. One thing i feel rather regretful is i have done not less mistakes. I wish i could be more efficient in the future to prevent adding troubles to others. I hope i can improve day by day. I hope i am a treasure and not a rubbish to my team. =/

How's my life? Basically my weekdays are filled with jobs during the peak period - month end closing. To prevent mistakes, i have to do checking. Hence, i would need to go on OT until late at night (highest record 10.10PM). However, until now, i never regret to my decision. NEVER. Because even though i have to stay until such late, it is still way MUCH BETTER than the life in audit firm. HAHA. As at now, i feel happy with my life, with the balance between work and family. I like to enjoy my own time during weekends when i really do not need to worry for job-related issue (recently, not applied to the time when i was a new hire). I might further my studies but this is a long-term plan. In short-term i would like to continue with this kind of life where i can pay attention to every single thing which is important means a lot to me. =)

How's my relationship? I feel grateful that we both have the time for each other at lease during weekends. My babe works till late at night everyday. It's normal for him to work till 10pm (while this has been my latest record). He even made it after 12am. I was completed frustrated and did not understand as his job nature is just similar to mine and i would think he should be able to make it at lease at 8pm every night to enjoy great dinner. However, as time goes by, i understand that sometimes it is not our choice. Also, if we work more now, we will get more later. It is never easy at the beginning. Hence, i stopped arguing with him. I want to give him a warm welcome whenever he is back as i know very well on the pressure of work, and he, of course, would like to feel me being supporting rather than blaming. I also wish to assure him that i am definitely here for him whenever he needs, and whenever he is tired. I hope i can do this well. =)

How's my parents? Very good, as usual. Friends and colleagues feel envy as they do not need to rush for children anymore at such young age. Not only this, i want my parents to feel they are proud to have such two daughters. =)

As a conclusion, I am definitely happy with who i am now, you can see this from my smileys. =DDDDD

Okay, i wanna end this d. But before that, let me introduce my new family member to you.
It's my new phone - Tab 2! Get shockd? "It's too big!"huh? I will tell you, this phone serves me just well. =D

Worklife

Wow, it has been ages again! Scrolling down my dashboard, i saw friends keep on updating their blogs, and this actually made me feel quite bad for not updating my blog as frequent. But damn, i am not as free as what my working hours tell!

First of all, congratulations to myself that i have found a job (though its about one month ago). I have experienced the life of normal working adults for almost a month. I am actually very glad that i am able to start working on 2 Jan as it meets my original goal. Previously i was quite worried that i could not find a job and end up spending my time meaningless. Thank God that i have been blessed with opportunity to widen my knowledge and experience.

What to say about my job? I seem to be the youngest in my team but i keep on reminding myself that i should not act as if i am young. Respecting seniors and be careful on every motion and word would need to be in my mind all the time. Another thing is the office is really COLD. I still shivered even i have put on my coat. Luckily i have rather used to such temperature recently so i won't really shiver after i put on my coat. However, the big contrast of weather inside and outside the office has caught me flu at last (last Friday). I am still in recovering stage.

My work is routine in nature. However i of course still would not feel bored as i am still in the learning path. Seriously i haven't got everything in my fingertips yet and this sometimes makes me feel quite pressure when i have lots of outstanding tasks on hand but i just have to do it slowly due to unfamiliarity. This makes me quite fed up with the work and it depresses me for a short moment. I recognize that i am a slow learner and i would often make mistakes before i get used to everything. I felt bad when i did wrong and my supervisor had to cover me up. That was also depressing. However, i guess i just need time and patience to get familiarized with all these. Add more oil then!

My working hours suggest that my life is rather free and easy, but this is still not the case for a learner like me as i often need to work overtime to get things done. However i still manage to get home on time occasionally and am able to accompany mom for a jog at 5.15pm.

Seriously, i don't think it is wise for me to be depressed or taking care of minor issues like working hours. I am looking forward for a personal development opportunity in my career and i have been reminded that this is quite challenging. As i have always said, challenges is defined as what we view them as. I view them as chances to grow stronger and enhance oneself and so i believe a brighter future would be waiting for me. =)))

2012 --> 2013

Okay, since everyone is talking about the end of 2012, i am going to share mine too. =D Well, i didn't set goal at the beginning of the year so i guess i have not much thing to write, but i still have some embedded goals which i have really accomplished in this year:

1. Graduating from TARC Advanced Diploma
2. Successfully completed all ACCA professional level papers in 2012

I thought for a moment but i guess these are the two main one. Basically i only think of studying in 2012 as i wish to finish everything in the year. I have already felt myself too old for employment.

I just discovered that working part time during study isn't really a bad thing. Besides gaining account-related experience to compliment ACCA, it is a good way to fill up idle time and to earn money! HAHAZm Now that i step into workforce, i start to recognize the importance of "accumulating" money. =D

Well, if i were to say regrets in 2013, i guess the above would be the major regret of mine for the year. But positive thinking is needed - to fully study ACCA is a good way to ensure full commitment and thus increase the possibility of passing the papers. So after all it is still not that bad. =)

In addition, i am so glad to receive a good news just before i enter into 2013 - I've got a job offer! So officially i would be employed in the year of 2013 (if no changes) and become a fresh employee among the workforce! As for my 2013 wishes, i sincerely hope to

1. Earn and accumulate money (as much as possible =D)
2. Help babe in completing his ACCA (no matter how long it takes =D).

I am a dull and boring person. I only concern about my study/work and my family (including future husband xD). So my goals will all about these. =D

Wish myself all the best!

Found some quotes to encourage myself (and also you - the readers) xD










And the most is to believe:

Life during the gap of graduating and working

Such a weird title huh? LOL. Its okay i feel weird too. xD Anyway, here to update my recent life as i realized my last post is about graduation. Wow! That has been almost two months ago! Okay, what have i done in these two months? First of all, i have finished my ACCA exams. Bear in mind that i have COMPLETED exams and not PASSED the exams. Though i still hope for the best that i can just pass by this sitting, i am still leaving a space under certainty to express my worry towards the exams. Its really tough, man!

So, after my exams, i have official become an unemployed. xD So this is the time i actively search for a job. Well, probably because i never search for jobs before, i feel very depressed when i see companies rejecting me, and that really adds pressure to me. It makes me feel i am not wanted. So i face a hard time and accelerate my job applications that i apply for all jobs that i feel i can handle the task requirements and that i feel i have a great chance to be selected. Anyway, i am still unemployed now. xD Sigh.

Well, my friends told me that i should actually enjoy my sweet holiday and never get too worry. But i am too unlucky. I am a person who never get satisfied to only sit at home without doing anything. I feel myself get rotten if i am in that situation. Some said this is called unlucky to have no chance to enjoy relaxing life! Hahaz. But seriously, i feel happier if my time is filled with things to do. So what to do? Find job. xD

Okay, update until here. See ya!

Companies have so many applicants! How should i make myself outstanding? 

PS: Anyway, as i start attending interviews, i will get less and less pressured. Perhaps interview experience is also a good thing. xD
