Audit room distraction

My client has a lot of this stuff hanging around their office.

It's so distracting- just can't help but loooooooooook!

Anyway. Horrid sleeping patterns have returned. My insatiable hunger for coffee has also returned unfortunately. But that's ok. Coffee has a beautiful aroma and makes me happy :)

I HEART ACCOUNTANTS DAY! we get your taxes done, crunch your numbers, and get loads of paper cuts (not to mention arthritis from continually sitting in the same position everyday, bashing at the calculator...) but we never receive recognition!!

On tv, there are shows featuring docs, lawyers and cops. When will they make one on us?

(ps just lodged my tax return and am appalled by how much tax I'm paying. They've added reombursements to taxable income - which makes no sense)

Whinge - Long day

Back to public transport. Working in Moore park this week. Pain in the asssss.

Still busy as heck.

Nearly the end of September.

I haven't finished filling out my exchange application. Noooo

Anyway, today I just wanted to have a whinge about insurance.

Last night I was doing a bit of market research on CTP greenslip, comprehensive and other car related expenses. LIKE SERIOUSLY FARK MY LIFE. I'm scrapping my plans on buying a car for good. This money I've been saving is going to my freaking house deposit. As in, I'm buying the commodore off my dad once the novated lease is up. 2 years to wait. Way cheaper. Reasonable. (I finally realised that it's totally impractical otherwise to buy a commodore on my pay- I really love Holden). In the meanwhile I'll just pay for insurance.

Real estate market research was fun. Why do people rent? Why rent when you can pay a little more for your own place?

WHT
haven't used that acronym in quite awhile. Ahaha
Today found out 2 of my fellow chair people are ditching a meeting we're holding tomorrow. I'm uber pissed. But what can you do, but hope that you earn the credit you really deserve? Usually doesn't happen, so I shouldn't hope for much. I used to feel really outraged, but I ceebz now. Waste of energy.

I get really angry when people say this though - 'you're just a cadet, they don't give you the real work'.

Man, this is as real as it gets. Audit's not hard, it's just tedious and there's lots to do (and lots to know).

I'm feeling really bitter today. It's a combination of dealing with really ignorant people at work today, the sucky weather, lack of sleep, disgusting lunch I made myself.

I made lunch last night. It was disgusting. This is why I'm pissed. Lol. The real reason. I used olive oil by accident. All my vegetables tasted bitter.

Good life = good food.

No joke.

Dear all,

Today I'd like to announce publicly, that I am a loser, but not the biggest one. I will never be the biggest loser because I lack conviction and never commit to anything.

This morning I took k to the gym. I almost went in. So damn close. I was at the door, but couldn't bring myself to walk in.

Instead, M and went to Ewood for yumcha.

Did some hw though, and then sat down with D to talk about my upcoming financial situation...

Life wise, I'm really looking forward to ft uni, financially though, I'm gonna miss having a full time job.

I was getting quotes for comprehensive car insurance- WHAT THE FARK!! $4Xxx annually with Allianz, you must be kidding. $3XXX at GIO, ridiculous! $2XXX at NRMA and that's with $800 excess.

ARGH this is so frustrating.

Back up plan: I've heard the Sultan of Brunei is still single...

Sakae

Mmm beef tataki.

Great day at work = no boredom, busy enough to stay entertained, great lunch buddies, in the office (constant access to internetz and fruit), good view (not really), jap food for lunch yay.

Yaaaaaaaaay. I'm happy.

On another happy note, it was uber nice to see some peeps at the est the other night. Dinner at starbar made me feel a bit queasy- remind me to not go there again.

On my way home. Nearly there. Day off tomorrow. Need o catch up with law readings (how do you law kids deal with this?!?)

Anyway, Hope you all have a super awesome week. Stay cool!

Accountants day

HELLO ALL

it's accountants day this Friday- yay! They started giving out tees and fake wayfarers at work last week.

Orsum.

On an unrelated topic, has anyone noticed that September has been so friggin' busy? I know it's not just me, others have said similar things. But thank god, it's nearly over! I AM EXCITE. for October, bcos November comes after that- and December = holidays.

Also, anyone feeling depressed about day light saving? One less hour. Boooo

Helloooooooo

iPhones are epic.

Argh my body aches. Went to bed at 4am. Still in bed at 1pm. Have to be out of the house at 2 D: zomggg

I'm getting too old for this sh*t.

That is, staying up to watch home videos from 10+ years ago. I skied better when I was 5 =='

Hope you're all making the best out of this crappy weather :( stupid rain

To eat or not to eat...

The biggest issue I have with 6pm exams is it makes me think I have plenty of time to study. I don't freak out, I don't study like mad.

I probably won't start freaking out until I see my friend who will ask "did you know you have to make a fair value adjustment for blah blah blah". I can imagine this happening. I will be pissing my pants with anxiety during reading time. Before the end of reading time, I will burn out, think fark this- I'll study for finals. And then after the exam I will feel awful for a long time.

Sigh. Returning to work tomorrow. Goodbye 10am alarm. Hello peak hour trains >=(

Getting older

(making my wish - please let me pass this exam)

I'm a sucker for cream cakes. I get the same type every year. If tai baan ever closes, I'm not gonna know where to go.

Thanks for all the calls and messages (and the special person who popped by the house with cake!). I did some laundry, cooking, sunbaking (hello summer) and study. Felt awesome. Care freeee chillax day.

So now that I'm in my twenties (oh ew oldness), I'll try to be more nice, less judgmental, more open, more responsible and yeah. Wish me luck.

Biggest oyster EVER.

King Georges Rd, Beverly Hills

Set menu - we ordered this plus extras

FRICKIN'?!?! HOW IS IT THAT THE OYSTER IS BIGGER THAN THE FORK/SPOON?

abalone

I actually ceebz'd to take photos of the other things because I was too busy being a grot, stuffing my face with a wide array of seafood.

We did not order my fave lobster sashimi though (major disappointment) because my parents were full like "NO YOU ARE SICK, NO RAW STUFF". So yeah, I'm sad to report that everything we had was 100% cooked (except I ate a sprig of fresh corriander just to spite them).

Urgh. Long time no food post.

Happy Monday guys!

is summer here already?

IT FEELS LIKE SUMMER ALREADY! YAY!

And because of that, I have bubble pop and hot summer stuck in my head :D 

Anyway. watched the MR HK finals this morning when I should have been studying. Argh. Wasted my time. The singing was bad, the dancing was bad and the mc-ing was already really bad. The best part was the bg music which was all Kpop. How illfitting. The absolute worst part of the competition was the Question Answer time (and swimsuit challenge time. ugh. it was awful - they should really cut it out).

The question was something like: do you think there should be male judges on the panel for the MR HK competition?

The answers were ridiculous and didn't really address the question.

The dude who didn't understand the question won.


ANYWAY, verdict is: I should watch less tv.

Digressing: HOORAY going to Bev Hills tonight for dinner. Then I'm gonna come home and study like mad. Sleep, wake, then study like mad the entire day, sleep, then wake, then cram my theory like mad and be ready for my exam on Wednesday.


Just blabbing now. I'll just publish and shut up now.


Hope you're all dandy!

New love

Did you know Robitussin is non drowsy?

Anyway, best advice I can give you now is to stay right away from me. I'm carrying germs from my client, my senior, and my uni friend. My skin has broken out from my lack of sleep and Zomg so much work to do. Doesn't feel like a Monday at all. Thank god I have uni tomorrow :D

I always manage to get sick just before exams. :*(

Oh my 咖!

Hehe

Work is more challenging, but interesting. Same deal with uni. Sleep is lacking :(

Study is lacking, but this is nothing new. Really gotta put my thinking cap on for a weekend of glorious accounting hw.

Apparently theres a restaurant in TW called 'oh my 咖'. Hilarious right?
