Happy Chinese New Year to all those chinese, bananas, ah bengs… watever la… as long u r chinese… tat includes those ppl like shanti… joel vergis…

Ok… Ive just entered the working world… as an accounts clerk in a small accounting firm in Butterworth. I work in OLK Biz Management Sdn Bhd, at bandar Sunway Seberang Jaya.

Working is fun after being stucked in the academic world for quite some time… kekeke. Well… all this while i wasnt too sure of where im heading , but now, things are begininning to narrow down to smaller fractions. Yes i am planning to pursue a career as an accountant. Everyone says that i dun look like an accountant…. kekeke… but trust me… this is the path i have chosen. Only God knows why…

Thank God for providing me with this proper job. In the beginning, i almost thought that its the end of my accounting career. After i came back home after being kicked out, my dad asked me to work full time and study part time.

I know where Im heading…

There was a hustle back then. My dad told me to look for a non-accounting job such as administrative work or marketing. He argued that i never did show interest in it and im not suitable for it. But… i refused to listen to it cos i know wat i want. I decide where im going, not him.

I know my dad didnt like it….i didnt want to make it sound like im rebelling against the family… so i approached my mom and asked for her blessings. My mom blessed me. She told me to go ahead as long as u know what u r doing. But she did warn me to work hard and be good at it. Finally, my dad had to give me his blessings( haha.. im the more persistant 1 now). In fact, he saw an advertisement in the chinese new paper for a vacancy as an audit assistant and asked me call them. And… This is the job that im finally employed now.

The Interview.

My dad is a typical meloncholy. He makes u feel so useless that u thought tat ure so hopeless. Frankly, i was affected by his neurotic remarks about me. He kept telling me that its hard to get a job and told me that theres a high chance ill fail in my interview. Let me tell u this, my first ever interview is a success.

I was afraid when the secretary called me to go for the interview on 17/1/06. I thought just forget it la… but then… i did my homework on how to conduct myself, and dressed neatly. The boss, Mr Tan, called me in. I was scared at first. But he made me feel comfortable by making it very casual rather than formal. He asked me for my certificates. I showed it to him.

For the first time i felt like, hey… my effort all this while studying ACCA wasnt wasted after all… God was right, when He lead me to study ACCA…

So finally Mr Tan asked me, when can you start? I said anytime. He told me to come after Chinese New Year. Then i offered him, i dun mind coming tommorow just to get used to things, without pay.. cos my aim is to learn.. not the pay. My purpose is to gain experience and upgrade my skills. Then later only i  start  work  after chinese new year. He said, ok then… u come 2molo. Ure hired !!! I was hired on the spot.  I found that there was 4 unsuccessful candidates b4 me.
Praise the LORD !!!

I do enjoy my work.

Work is fun. I felt that im quite useful after all. I also found out that im quite a detailed person when it comes to numbers, computations and even spelling. The best part as an accounts clerk is to find ppl’s mistakes including my senior’s.. keke.. i learnt this from Pr Edward.

My senior seems to like me( I think shes a Phlegmatic-Sanguine). She teaches me many things about taxation and secretarial work. She’s happy that i point out wrong figures she keyed in. Cos it saves her from being scolded by the boss( i think hes a Choleric-Sanguine).

My boss is a nice guy. We can chat. His wife, also working in the company, is very nice (shes another Phlegmatic-Sanguine). My company got lots of plegmatics. So its an easy going enviroment.

So… tats about it for now… Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!
