何必呢？

今天是除夕，可是今天的主题跟农历新年，甚至除夕无关。

上个星期，一位家长直接冲来课室找我。一开始，她还沉得住气。不过，过不了多久，她便按捺不住了，开始质问我。她问我为什么没有给她的女儿功课！我告诉她说不是我没有给功课，而是她的女儿自己不做。

当她看见其他学生一到课室就纷纷交功课给我时，她终于忍无可忍了！她向我要藤条，但是我是不用藤条的，因为我从来不鞭打小孩（虽然当时藤条就在我后面的白板）。于是，她就使出她的铁砂掌，一掌又一掌地掴她的女儿脸颊，然后又捶打她女儿的身体。我再次申明，她是很用力的！可以说是虐待！

先别说我反对暴力，在当时的情况下，我马上喝止她，因为这会吓坏其他小朋友！就连我也有点怕怕，但是如果她敢对我动手，我是不会客气的！还好她不敢，不然我又要把我小时候的打架功夫使出来啦！对，别震惊。我小时候并不好惹的。别被我现在斯斯文文的外表给骗了！我小时候可是打架长大的，而且我打架的对象通常是大过我几岁的人。试想想，我三四岁便跟一二年级的小孩打架了。当然，我常打输啦。可是，每次的打架都是我学习的机会。

也因为这样，就连老师都害怕的学生看见我都要行礼，因为他有一次惹毛我，被我打到跟我道歉。她怪我没有通知她关于她女儿的进度，而英语老师就有！拜托一下，人家是full time而我只是part time而已！不可能要我每个星期都跟每个家长报告吧！

我告诉她，她的女儿上课不专心，还不跟我配合，那怎样学习呢？其他学生又不见得像她一样。难道要我打她吗？我不会随便打学生的，除非家长特别批准。况且，她说她会叫她的哥哥教她。她的妈妈直接说没有这回事！我承认我在这件事上的错误是没有通知她一声。

她回时，还大力摔门一下，当时真的很大声！她还威胁我说她隔天还会来，或许是要投诉我吧！来就来，我才没怕过，我收这少少薪水，我根本不必要受这些气！而且，我原本就不打算接这份工的！

她是一个四十多五十多岁的人。可能是不育吧，她的女儿是印度血统的。我的意思是，即使不是亲生的，也不必虐待、锤打她吧！毕竟，她也是人！当时如果没有爱心，就别领养。或许她是生意人吧，每件事情都要要求回报！

你在家怎样对你的女儿，我无权过问。但是请别在我的面前，甚至是其他学生的面前这样毒打你的女儿！切记，要有爱心！

放学时，我跟她的女儿去上车，因为我认为我需要给个交代。我跟她的爸爸说其实她不错，今天被她的妈妈打后，上课用心了许多，并不像完全不懂的样子。其实她只是懒惰而已！你们知道他如何回应我吗？他跟她的太太完全没有看我，只是说她的女儿是这样的，这种情况维持不了多久！

我所收到的讯息是，她女儿回家还是会被毒打一顿！或者，他们认为我是因为怕被投诉，这次亲自去交代！倘若他们有此想法，那他们未免太小看我了！

Exhausted

Yo, I'm just back from my client's place. It was really tiring! Imagine, wake up at the 7 a.m.(the latest) and sleep at 12 a.m. (if lucky) for two consecutive weeks. I was sick due to the transmission of germs or bacteria from my manager in charge.

Today was the final day for our field work, hence everyone of us was busy and rushing for completion. Luckily I had finished my two dormant files' field work last week. Thus, I still could assist my senior, W.S.E. this week. He had two files as well, but I don't think he managed to finish them on time even if with my assistance.

I was exhausted. Everyday work for long hours and didn't have my dinner. I missed my lunch today. Yet, we still couldn't finish our part, I mean in detail. There were a lot of works we need to do and lots of areas we need to cover for property developers. It was an eye-opening experience. However, it was also the most difficult subject in F7 and P2, IAS 11 Construction Contracts. As a student, I didn't master this topic as it was one of the most complicated ones. Ergo, as an auditor, it took me quite some time to figure out what the accounting concepts were as well as the double entries.

My manager, G.C.B. came to review my works on Monday. Out of my expectation, he gave me some compliments. Of course, there are still parts where I can improve, such as my cross-referencing. 

I don't know how long can I stand. Hopefully I can find a better way to handle it.

Futsal

Yoyoyo, I had my futsal hours last Wednesday with my senior, Gino. Last Tuesday, I cleared review points with him until 1 a.m.. Yes, you're not wrong, it's 1 a.m.. This was the latest time I left office. Hence, we were quite tiring on the next day. Luckily, we went to Simpang Ampat for auditing. We went back to Penang around 5:30 p.m.. 

When we reached Greenlane, it was about 6:30 p.m.. Gino invited me for futsal. Actually, he invited me once during my first job. However, I didn't go even once because I still needed some time to train my fitness back. Furthermore, I heard from my colleagues, Colin and Jonny that his team was very skillful. Ergo, I dared not to accept the challenge yet. This time, I didn't let the chance go. I accepted his offer. Frankly speaking, I was really worried that I would disappoint them or cause my team to lose the game. 

Gino came to fetch me around 9:45 p.m. as our futsal started at 10 p.m.. Majority of the players were older than us, in fact I was the youngest. Besides, most of them were auditors. Nonetheless, a few of them like to smoke. 

There were eleven of us. We played five against five and we would rotate the team whenever a team scored two goals. My performance was out of my expectation. I could play. I was so delighted even though I didn't score even one goal but I delivered quite a number of assists. The reasons that I didn't score were my leg was not powerful enough and my poor agility. 

My response was quite slow too. It was just about 20% of my previous fitness. One thing which was very encouraging was I didn't get tired easily due to the moderate tempo and also their style of playing. For your information, I used to play 'Kick and Rush' tactics. There usually would be one-man show and we relied heavily on someone who could dribble the ball to the front end. Normally Johnson and Anthony would play this role. 

Nevertheless, in this team, they played possession game. 'Men Behind Ball' was a norm over there. As what Gino said, they enjoyed controlling the ball than scoring. This is what we called 'maturity'. They enjoyed having the ball by their sides rather than scoring. 

Conclusion for my first futsal game after two years of time:
1) I have to strengthen my stamina, speed, response and agility.
2) I have to play more so that I can know where would they normally go so that I can improve my first touch. 

I took two seconds before passing my ball to my teammates and this was too slow. I needed to see where my teammates were when I got the ball but the two seconds were more than enough for the opponents to mark me.

Well, it was fun even though my futsal boots were broken after two matches. I bought a new pair of futsal boots on Thursday and hopefully there would be more opportunities to play futsal then.

Chest Pain

Yo, I forced myself to go for hiking this evening after coming back from my office. This was because I wanted to train my fitness. 

Initially, I paid too high expectation on my lousy body. I tried my best to maintain my previous consistency and level of training. Nonetheless, my body couldn't stand it, obviously! Hence, my chest was painful for around 10 minutes. This frightened me a lot as I had never encountered this before. Can you guys guess who was I thought of during that time? My family members, friends or Princess? None of them! I thought of Goku.

Nevertheless, I didn't end the session. God bless, I'm okay now. It was truly out of my expectation, I couldn't accept my fitness right now. I'm even weaker than the time when I was in the primary study. I must train my fitness back. Certainly, I must have the time to do it. 

I went up using the hill road but I went down using the main road. Sorry, before that, I should tell you that my destination was Ayer Itam's Dam. I found that it was a long journey when I was walking down. It cost me the same time as I went up the hill. The presumed 'ghost house' had been renovated into a magnificent mansion. It's a prohibited area with PBA as its owner if I were not mistaken. Nevertheless, I still saw two cars were parking over there and few kids and their parents. I hope they were not the ghosts.

I don't know why. Last time, about 10 years ago, there were quite a number of hikers. However, they become bikers now. They either cycled up or drove their car up to the dam's car park, then cycled around the dam. 

I started to notice this norm last year. There's a trend to cycle in Penang. Does this due to the rising awareness to reduce carbon dioxide? Of course, this is a very good and healthy incident and I hope there will be more and more people follow this trend. Definitely, there won't be too many expensive or luxurious bicycles on the road. 

I hope that my body is okay and healthy because I'm desperate to get my fitness back. I want to join my colleagues in sports events. Before I end here, I would like to delicate this song to you guys, a so-called 'touchwood' song.

工作中的生日

妈的leh！我的生日竟然还要做工！今早醒来，看了看手机，很惊喜，我的BFF，aL祝我生日快乐，当然还有其他事情。更让我意外的是，富贵也记得我的生日，他在Facebook祝福我。我想，因为他，其他人也陆陆续续送上祝福了。今年，我特别在Facebook隐藏我的生日提示，因此祝福的数次当然也少了很多。不过，我并不在意。

八点半，我的阿嫲便吵醒我，叫我载她去拜神，因为今天是初一。吃了早餐，我开始准备我的working papers。原本是打算去office的，却因为我的懒散而拖到吃完午餐后才去office。大家都很忙，peak period也开始warm up了！

最近，我突然第一次hold file，而且还是一hold就是两个files。这下子我可惨了，因为我是audit新丁，从头到尾的audit procedures或者audit steps都无头绪，这次却要hold两个files。还好我公司的环境很好，seniors都很乐意并耐心地教，不然我真的要撞墙了！

放工后等我的妈咪回来，我们大概八点便出发去吃“煮炒”。这次我这个寿星公请客，共为RM56.70。还好啦，只要开心就好。

我希望我可以快点摆脱钱财问题！天啊，请给我一个机会，让我咸鱼翻身。我就会立刻辞职！

Change 2

Yup, it's 'Change 2', that means I had written something about 'Change' before. The first 'Change' was about my Princess but this time, it's pretty serious.

I want to change my life, my family's lifestyle and many others. I know that I'm greedy but I'll do it one by one. Trust me, I can do it! Well, I received my first salary from my new job. It was quite sad because it was so low. I know that you would convince me in this way, "Hey, Recca. There's nothing to worry about. You're still new, imagine how much you would earn after you're experienced. Come on, this is just your first step. Everyone had gone through this."

Is that what you would like to tell me? 'BULLSHIT' is my reply. Audit is totally not a balanced work. You sacrifice so much but yet your salary doesn't match your effort. We're very professional and looked good from the appearance and from other's point of view, however our life is not what they could imagine.

I met quite a few clients. They had the wrong perception on my job. They were filled with consternation when I told them that I couldn't claim overtime or I couldn't claim overtime in full. Some of them would label us as cheap labour. Nonetheless, we're slave or servant instead. I don't mean that I can't stand the overtime but at least, give me a fair pay. Let's be just and fair, I work so hard, please remunerate me fairly.

I also know that I can't change the current audit lifestyle personally. Hence, I wonder why others can sacrifice so much to their job. Do they really like their job so much? We've to behave in front of others and even stand or tolerate their temper. I personally was castigated by a secretary innocently! Nevertheless, being trained in sales market for one to two months, I learned to be calm and endure. Do the superiors know all these? I believe they do but do they give us compliment for these? No, there is no way for that! However, when there are mistakes, we've to endure their temper again. Thus, we can't find support internally sometimes. Luckily I've quite a number of supportive colleagues.

There is also interesting part in audit, for instance stock take. I like stock take, especially when I was on a forklift. It was fantastic. Apart from that, I can learn the manufacturing process or the business cycle for retail business. Besides, knowing new people or dealing with people is what I'm looking forward to. Imagine, I managed to leave a strong impression on one of my clients even though I was auditing the company for two days as a helper. My colleagues who audited the company for two weeks told me that the person in charge missed me so much when I was given another assignment.

Can audit be a milestone in my life? Let's see.

Stocks Sharing

Yo, I received Shen's sms when I was at SIM discussing about my part-time job after coming back from year end stock count in Bukit Mertajam. 

We decided to meet at Old Town Farlim. He brought two of his friends who would be one of his fund pool's partners each. First and foremost, I told them about the procedures to open an online stock trading account. I even recommended a few investment banks for their reference.

Later, we began our topic, stock selection. As a beginner, Shen was so enthusiastic to learn the basics in stock trading. I provided him some concepts and personal opinions. I was so thrilled when I gave my advice as this is what I'm interested in, being a consultant. Of course, my advice was free of charge to them.

We picked some samples to analyse. Finally, we decided to have a meeting every fortnight since he wanted to learn more. Actually, I've been out of stock market for some time after having my audit job. I suggested them to diversify their portfolio instead of focusing on one particular stock. 

Let's hope for the best and hopefully they can earn some returns in share market.

Advanced Diploma Convocation 2012

First and foremost, I would like to apologise for not updating my blog last week. Below is my reason.

Yoyoyo, I attended my Advanced Diploma Convocation at TARc last Saturday. Due to this, I purposely took advance annual leave on Friday to depart to Kuala Lumpur. Everyone in my office was pretty surprised when I took the leave because I was working for one week only. 

I was the driver again even if I worked over time everyday and I was pretty tired. We went to fetch my grandpa before we left Penang. This was the first time my grandpa was willing to 'outstation' after 5 years. 

We reached K.L. around 11:00 a.m.. Firstly, we headed to my sister's hostel to take my convocation's gown. Besides, we were going to buy mattress for her and her roommate. After that, we went to have our lunch. I was fed up with an incident before taking our lunch. I was declined to open a saving account at Genting Klang's CIMB Bank. The official told me that I should open the saving account at the branch near my house, my place of study or my workplace in my hometown. 

Then, we went to my cousin's house to leave our luggage. I pretended to be one of the staff of my cousin's company in order to open a saving account at Kuchai Lama's CIMB Bank. The mortgage advisor, Bernard Tee told me that I didn't have to do so in my hometown, in fact I could open accounts at any branches.

Finally, everything was settled. I told my cousin that my mom and my sister wanted to buy 'Sticky'. Initially he didn't know what was I talking because they called it “公仔糖” in K.L.. He searched online and accidentally noticed its Facebook's page, there was a food fair or food expo at PWTC. Thus, we decided to go there as they offered a far lower price. Then we went to have Asam Laksa at 茨厂街. My youngest sister had her first experience taking L.R.T. that time.

On Saturday, it was a big day to me. It was not because of my convocation but it was the day to meet Dr Wong. Indeed, convocation was an event for me to gather or meet with my friends. This time, Y.B. Dato Chua Tee Yong was the one giving me the scroll. Out of my expectation, he told me “恭喜、恭喜” instead of 'congratulations'. Due to this, I smiled on the stage. There were fewer lecturers and tutors whom I know attending the parade, including Dr Wong. However, Dr Wong promised to wait for us at her office. My grandpa and my dad were the ones witnessed my convocation ceremony whereas my mom and my sisters were waiting outside the college hall. 

After the end of the ceremony, it rained. For your information, my grandpa's super-sensitive to rain. Thereupon, I started to figure out a way to Dr Wong's office without getting wet. Yes, I headed straight away to Dr Wong's office instead of taking pictures with my friends or like what others normally did. 

I couldn't find my good friends of my gang other than Vincent Pang. Where were they?

I met T.H.K. at Dr Wong's office. He was wearing a formal wear with coat. He told me that he didn't attend the convocation due to his late submission of the forms and money. Dr Wong was very happy to see me there and I passed her some biscuits from the well-known shop in Penang. 

I got to know that T.H.K. had changed department in KPMG. He have changed to Advisory department of Corporate Finance. He told me that his job is exactly what we had done in P4 Advanced Financial Management. It sounds interesting and I believe that I would enter that department one day.

We started to take some photos:

This was taken by O.T.M. when I was going to queue up the stage to receive my scroll.

My family's photo. It was taken by A.C.P., thanks for that.

My family with Dr Wong. They were taken by T.H.K., thank you.

Dr Wong started to praise me when she saw my family members. Initially she spoke in English but I told her that they didn't know English, then she spoke in Mandarin. Dr Wong, actually you flattered me a lot.

T.H.K., Dr Wong, Mr Chong and I. My hook fell aside because I didn't bring any pin on that day.

Finally, Mr Chong extended his contract with TARc for another year. He told me that the P6 Advanced Taxation of ACCA in December 2012 sitting was easier than my sitting. Actually, I heard from Dr Wong before my graduation that Mr Chong was going to retire at the end of this year, luckily he extended his contract for another year. Dr Wong revealed that he is more passionate about his spiritual life.

T.H.K., O.T.M., Dr Wong and I. Dr Wong would ask us to take photo together whenever her students came. I still had some photos with Karthiyayini and others. Please send me the pictures for compilation, thank you. 

These were the P4 family together with Mr Chong. These 3 photos were taken by Zack Tan's friend using their DSLR.

This is my youngest sister.  

My best friend in TARc. I believed that I couldn't stand my life in TARc if he was not my listener.

I, W.S. and E.S.H..

This is Jennifer, O.S.K..

This is Vayne and I. I'm so sorry that my eyes looked weird. The first photo was because I forgot to shut my flash light. The second one was probably the flash light effect was still there.

This is Claire, whom I always called “表姐”. Actually, she looked prettier when she didn't make up. This is just my opinion. We looked like a vampire.

After that, we went back to meet my cousin for lunch. We had 怡保律酿豆腐 before we gave my younger sister her first experience to take L.R.T and monorail even though she has been in K.L. for few months.

This was taken in Pavilion. We witnessed the Sticky making process. It was amazing.

After we had our Bak Kut Teh as dinner, we went back to my cousin's house to rest. I met my nephew for the very first time at my uncle's house. He was so cute and I couldn't stop kissing him.

My nephew, Jensen and I. The one that I kissed him was with my uncle and I'm still waiting for him to tag me in Facebook.

On Sunday, we went to take my photo taken by the appointed photographer at TARc. I met some other friends over there, such as C.W.F., P.M.L., etc.. We went back to Penang after having our lunch at Puchong. It was a tiring journey and I almost met accidents, thanks god for blessing us to have a safe and sound journey. 

There was traffic jam from Sungai Buloh to Rawang as there was car accident at Rawang due to heavy rain. I didn't know whether I was caught for speeding by A.E.S. Frankly speaking, I did speed and I didn't notice even one A.E.S. on my way to K.L.. Nonetheless, I did find two A.E.S.s on my way back. 

Ergo, this was how I spent my days in K.L. to attend my Advanced Diploma convocation. I think, many of you may think that I miss the important moment but I'm not thinking in that way, as what I said, the purpose that I attended the convocation was to meet my friends and Dr Wong.

Audit Life

Yo, I have started working for one week as an Audit Associate. It was bizarre that the director of Deloitte offered me the position of Tax Associate last Wednesday when I was working at my client's place. I definitely would accept her offer if she informed me earlier. Nonetheless, she still hopes I can join them next year or half year later. Thanks for your consideration, Monica.

Being a fresh graduate, I hadn't involved in both tax or audit department before, hence I'm not sure which department is of my interest. Dr Wong does hope me to involve in tax as according to her classmate, who is the Tax Director at BDO KL, I can lean more in taxation and be a specialist. However, it hinders my opportunity to venture to overseas.

Frankly speaking, I started to regret on my first day working in audit. That certainly is not my cup of tea. What I like is my firm's environment. The manager, assistant manager, audit senior and colleagues are pretty good. They're humble, patience and willing to teach. This is what attracting me so much but not the audit work.

My conclusion after one-week audit experience is this job is not a humane job. Sacrifice is a major part in this job. 

Last night, I played badminton again after at least one month. Eddy told me that audit is certainly a path which accounting graduates must go through. I don't agree with that. Aaron and Edwin are very happy at Dell as Financial Development Program candidates and they never regret with their decision. G.C. Lee from Dell was an auditor in Big Four as well, but she was happier joining Dell and denied the fact that audit gave her more exposure or experience.

If I were given the options, I would choose to involve in management. This is where I'm interested in and passionate about. Nevertheless, I can't claim ACCA PER objectives in this role. Thus, I have to join audit. My assistant manager complained about audit life as well on my first day of working. You can imagine how I would feel after that or the impact of negative message she conveyed to me. 

However, she said I would be better master up the audit skills, then I can venture to overseas since the audit steps are almost similar. What dismayed me so much was I didn't know what to do. I was not familiar with the schedules, working papers and their formats as well. On top of that, this client is a newly incorporated company, thereupon substantial audit procedures have to be carried out. This worsens my first audit experience.

No matter what it is, I decide to stay with my current firm for a period of time, then I'll decide for my future. Let's hope for the best.

我老婆唔够秤 2 之 我老公唔生性

Yo，这个周四，阿Sa与她在这部电影里的拍档--郑伊健来Queensbay Mall为这部电影宣传。身为阿Sa忠实fans的我，当然会出席啦，更何况我的时间还安排得到。

下午两点左右，我去了姨婆那里拿了“月月爱”，因为我的妈咪的同事要。那么巧的，我的表舅也在那儿。他及姨婆就邀请我该晚去Malaysia Hotel举行的省电卡讲座会。我表舅在这门生意里开始赚到钱了。他也同时跟我讲解了很多。各位，如果你们有兴趣的话可以联络我。

过后，三点多左右，我会去我以前的公司找老同事叙旧。果然像Jared说的那样，我们公司多租了一个单位，看来发展得还不错！大家都很意外我的出现。我的老板，John看见我时先是吃惊，然后说我黑去（皮肤黑）。原来Legoland的project是我的公司做的，为此John还特地带了一批工程师去Johor做工，因此他们各个都晒得很黑，但是我比他们还要黑！

另一位老板，Ban Keat则开朗了许多。以前我在那儿工作时，他很静的，而且表情都很严肃。相信大家都喜欢他现在的改变吧。当然，公司里也出现了人事变更。其中，Jeff和Johnvyn辞职了。Jeff开始接手家里的生意；Johnvyn则与Kelvin合伙做生意。听见大家都过得那么好，我都好安慰。

John叫我介绍要当technician或engineer的朋友给他。读者们，倘若你们有兴趣或者你们身边有这类人才的话，请马上联系我，我帮你们转介绍！

大概五点半，我就离去了，因为我要去Queensbay Mall见阿Sa。原本以为是六点半的宣传会，怎知六点左右便听见主持人calling了，我赶紧加快脚步去霸位。很可惜，槟城的fans人数真是太少了，并不像我在KL Times Square见Twins时那样。或许是星期四的关系吧！也因为这样，我这次是站在左边第二排的位置哦！

阿Sa出场前，主持人就问了几道问题，答对的幸运儿便可获得充气锤子一个。我每一道问题都会，可惜主持人并没有看到我举手！

当阿Sa出来时，现场一片尖叫声。我也特别兴奋，毕竟这是我跟阿Sa最近距离的一次！感觉简直就是难以形容！我只知道我好high！阿Sa很漂亮，也好可爱哦！虽然今年刚换number了，但是她保养得超好的，丝毫没有岁月的痕迹！

她当天穿了一对超高的高跟鞋！我好担心她会失足呢！当时发生了一件很丢脸的事--麦克风失灵！我在那边埋怨道：“难道工作人员事先没有检查和做准备的吗？”另外，主持人的口才也不好！

当天，我差一点就抢到阿Sa和郑伊健的签名海报。为此，我好难过哦！真的只是差了那么一点点！我还在现场骂了一句粗口，希望你们在影片中听不到吧！




虽然阿Sa只是出现短短的十分钟左右，但是我觉得好满足。当他们进入后台时，一大堆fans就冲到后台的旁门等候他们再度出现离开现场，当然我也不例外。因此，我拍到了两张阿Sa的独家。

看到吗？这就是我的独家！有什么感想？很蒙是吧？还是才只有两张？其实这两道问题都令我很自责、受伤！抱歉，我的手机功能没那么好！因此，我立誓一定要买一部好的DSLR来终止我一直以来的遗憾！我要赚大钱！

一大堆fans跟随他们走去停车场拿车，赶往下一个目的地，但是这回我不跟风了。我是还有理性的fans。就连在旁的安娣也知道当时是明星来。阿Sa的魅力厉害吧！我继续作我的cold call去了。

Well，十二月六号，这部电影就要上映了，谁要陪我看呢？
