friday night outing!
It's been a long time since I'm out with my ex-colleagues. Just in case some of you don't realise, it's still the peak period for audit line. yeah, auditors are out there doing their jobs checking on transactions. Perhaps some of you will wonder whether i miss that life. To tell you the truth, I do miss the travelling around to clients' places and learn bout their companies. However, I'm starting to fall in love with my new job. People are so friendly and knowledgeable. It's definitely a different work culture.
Anyway, the thing that I miss the most is hanging out with my ex-colleagues. Haha.... they work hard and play hard too. Singing can relieve stress, I guess. At least you can sing your heart out, right? Ok, I don't mean it literally.
Catching up with ex-colleagues is really fun. Oh well, mostly because I'm more energetic than they are after work. :P If you ask me whether I will Hang out with them anymore, the answer will be YES! They are the ones who teach me lots of stuff while offering friendship to me. Who says that one need to be selfish at work in order to get the work promotion?

from audit assistant to accounts assistant
Yeah, as most of you have known, I start my work today. Waking up at 6am is definitely tough especially when it has been a long time since I wake up at this hour. It doesn't help when I don't get enough sleep. Oh well, I get cold feet as it's my very first time being an accounts assistant. Both my previous work require me to check on accountants' work but this time, I'm doing the accounting. It's not like I have not done accounting during the course of my previous work, it's changing working environment that scares me.
What more can I say? So far so good. *winks* I'm glad that my colleagues are really friendly and patient. My mentor is a really nice lady, being really patient in coaching me to use the accounting software. I'm so afraid that i might make lots of blunder considering at still a greenhorn at this.
I'm really tired now, having a long day at work plus being stuck in the jam just for dinner. I will blog more bout the outings I previously attend soon. Don't worry bout me because I'm still alive.

how time flies?
Have you ever wondered how time flies? It's going to be my exam soon, less than 2 weeks but I've not done anything. Thanks for my procrastination and drama series addiction. Gee, I'm in a total mess. I know crossing my fingers now and hope for the best is not a good solution at all. I need to take actions and make some remedies ( That's what i hope).
Anyway, looking at the bright side, at least I've updated my resumes in
Jobstreet and
Jobsdb. A few employers have requested for my resume; that's a good thing. I've tried applying for some as well. I've done interview today, another one is awaiting for me next week while other job applications are still under consideration. Wish me luck. I really need it because there are so many applicants out there as well.
I never know that job hunting and interviews are tough. Mainly because I've got my previous two jobs after my first interview. Yeah, that's right! Got the job on the spot. I have to wait for 2 weeks' notice before I know the interview results now. Kind of a new thing to me, but oh well, I think I can survive that. lol.. I need a job ASAP as my cash is running low, my cash flow is not that liquid after all. Please let me succeed in getting the job. *keeping my fingers crossed*

the surprise attack
this is a long overdue post bout my 25th surprise birthday party which takes place on 28th february 2009. yaya, it's way long overdue but knowing that i procrastinate a lot, this is kind of normal. anyway, first of way, thanks to
shaz and
chris who take the effort to make it happen! shaz who tricks me that he doesn't allow my sis to join us for dinner while chris who plans it with
karen. the three of them are really good at this! i'm overjoyed and almost in my tears. no, i'm not a drama queen!
have i mention bout i'm being punished to stand on the chair even though it's my birthday? haha...reminds me of year 1996 where my classmates and i always standing on the chair for being noisy, it's not even us but we are wronged. so sad but true.
of course, not to mention the guests. they are extremely funny and chatty :D if not for them, i will have another boring birthday being celebrated alone.
it's a small private party so i'm so sorry if you aren't being invited. i promise to invite you when i plan to hold a birthday party. the list of guests are:
michy, who has been nothing but helpful throughout my life. though sometimes she can be really dramatic but hey, all of us need some dramas in our life, right?
my sis, evelyn who gives me a surprise by joining my friends and i. she's the homely girl in Lim family. i guess most of you will agree to that if u see her.
karen, the lil devil who makes the plan with chris and keeps me in the dark all the while. oh well, i love you! mainly coz you balance out my life. lol...an angel definitely needs the devil :P
joann, a really sweet and cute girl or should i say lady? she's really good at having good conversations, making all of us laugh non stop *winks*
mikel, a lovely guy with a great sense of fashion. to date, i've not seen him looking shabby. he's always the fashion forward guy.
isaac, whom i know from shaz. an IT-whiz kid who is really sweet and friendly. he's there to celebrate my birthday last year too. oops, that also reminds me that i've not blog bout it yet. but oh well, it's a backlog post so we'll just keep it in my heart :P
zoe, the lil girl whom chris always talk bout. she's not as blunt as many think she is if compared to me :P for me, she's still the sweet lil girl who smiles all the time.
last but not least, the two pranksters! the ones who keep me in the dark til the very last minute just to give me a surprise birthday party. ok, you guys win hands down simply because this is the only party where i don't even suspect. the two kiddo guys. yes, trust me when i say the both of them are really childish. having the both of them together makes me tired from nagging at them.

make up counter SAs, a let down or a thumbs up service?
for me, it's a norm to buy from the SAs (sales assistants) who serve well. i will appreciate those who will take the effort to introduce new products to me but definitely not those who will push products to me just to reach their won sales targets. it's a really big turnoffs if anyone does that to me.
plus i dont know what's wrong with most SAs. they will look at you if you dress nicely but will not approach you if you look simple. oh well, it's not everytime i will dress well for shopping spree. normally i'll just wear a normal tank top or spagetti strap with a skirt simply because it's easier to change clothes.
not long ago, i went to jusco, mid valley to buy laneige products and the SAs just ignore me and went to serve others, my mum included. she tried explaining to mum bout the products and persuaded her to buy. hello??!! i'm here. my mum was there to accompany me. no one even bothered to serve me. if it's not for the discounts are only available for that particulat counter, i would have bought them from alice in pavilion.
anyway, it was when my mum pointed out that i was the one buying, the SA turned to me to serve me. ish... ok, it's a compensation coz she gave us an additional free gift which my mum really loved it. my mum reminded me to buy from the particular SA in the future. ya, rite! *no, i wont unless mum is there coz she only recognises mum*
after bout a month, i went to pavilion to exchange my points for laneige products. alice wasn't there so her colleague served me. oh well, since i wasn't buying anything additional, it's ok. i bumped into alice on my way to monorail station. she said hi and called me immediately after she's back to work. she called to informed me bout the exact same promo in mid valley. gee, i guess the promos dont go on the same time. i told me i bought my stuff in mid valley previously.
i tell mum that i will buy my stuff in pavilion next time as their promo is much later. at least i'll get a better service and not being ignored. yes, i can be really revengeful in this sense :P i worked as an auditor previously. it's still service line. though customers are not always right, but it's just so wrong to judge anyone by appearance.
