My Work..My Life..

Budget 2009 preparation...Just chaired the meeting on budget preparation today..At least the HODs know their areas of responsibilities..hence creating the sense of ownership to the company..This is my 3rd year compiling the company's budget. Next, board of directors' meeting in December..next..year end closing..next..final bonus declaration..

No complain. Really. We need to enjoy what we're doing..or else..life is really dull at work. Thanks to the whole team in Finance Department..I wouldn't have come this far without their sincere support. Strange thing about the dept is that all of us are females..there are nine of us in the dept.

My team members, (if you are reading this), please keep up your good work and committment. Our dept is the living indicators to the organisation..please take pride in what you do..

Finally, we should take CEO's positive remarks during his briefing today as a compliment to our good job for the past one year..at least he noticed the good job and efforts u guys had delivered. Congratulation girls..Selamat Hari Raya.

A friend in needs, is a friend indeed..

Just to express my deepest gratitude / appreciation to Ijah for spending time with me during my stay in Shah Alam. Apart from doing my revision, I only had a tv set which was only tuned to HBO channel..nobody to talk to ..

For the first 2 days I was there, I got bored to death..buffet ramadan at the hotel was closed as they were having functions for the Agung..God..no place to break my fast..ThankGod Ijah was around and willing to fetch me for break fast elsewhere..For 2 days, I had not been talking to any soul for more than 3 minutes..even when I was on the phone, it only took me less than 3 minutes..

I had good talking time..as usual, she always had issues to bring up..before sending me back, we dropped by at 7 elevens for tit bits..to keep me awake for the next 6 hours for study..

The next day, Ijah offered her hospitality again, but I couldn't make it as my time was very limited. Anyway, thank you for being there for me..especially when I was in KL..you are always there for me..Still remember my last visit to KL a month ago, she drove all the way from Malacca after her long day at seminar, just to have dinner with me..

It's not that I didn't have anyone in KL..a whole bunch of them..but I just don't want to put pple in trouble for me..most of the time, none of them knew that I was around in KL..so I can't blame my sister, sisters-in law, nephews or nieces for not offering their hospitality..

Well..a friend in needs, is a friend indeed..probably that's what she is..I think it's what u put into a friendsip bcoz I always believe that u will get back what u put in. No doubt that we used to have differences especially when she was here, but hey..that made me understand her more..

Well, anyway Ijah..if u are reading this..I think you are on the right track in terms of career and life outside career. Don't look back because you will not move forward if u keep clinging on to what had happened in the past. And I think u are also 'taking the road less travelled' too..being among the few females in the organisation is a great challenge especially when u are still 'trang tang tang'...he..he..Unfortunately Ijah..the good men had already been taken..u are probably left with the 'goodest' ones..so good luck and till we meet again..

Taking the Road Less Travelled...

I was away for 4 days for my MIA QE exam in shah alam. Phew..the exam was damned tough..I sometimes wondered what the hell I was getting myself into..why was I doing this..why did I have to go thru all these sufferings..

Taking the road less travelled?..probably that's what it is..thanks to the support that I got from people dearest to me..especially my dearest hubby, the girls and my 'Ultraman Tiga'. My family knows how much sacrifices I made and perseverance that I went through before the exam..my hubby had to put up with a lot of nonsense from me..looked after the house and the kids..did house chores..the girls as well..they had to settle for quick and simple meals for break fast and 'sahur'..but they never complained..what more could i ask for..such a great family i have..All these are probably the driving factors for me to go on with my studies..although..I was once..at the spur of the moment..thinking of quitting..

If I had to come back for the next sitting, which I hope I would not, I would do it differently..apply different approach to my studies..be more thorough in comprehensing the materials..that does IT!!!..YUPPP...Let's do it better and smarter..

Why the Road Less Travelled ??? Less travelled by pple like me..only 2% are outside Klang Valley..and I am in that selected few..lucky or unlucky, whichever the case may be, I would take this as a challenge to complete my last 2 papers..come what may..I will go through it..that's the promise I make today to myself and to those dearest to me..I will not lose sight..will make sure it worth everybody's while..

Not many are familiar with MIA QE exam that I'm going for..let it be unfamiliar to some..but it is important to me and my career here..especially when Kolej Antarabangsa IKIP is developing and growing and expanding..with Kolej Universiti in the making, that scroll of papers would put me on a different playing level..

Yes..it is the path less travelled because not many would go through what I am going through especially when smart local graduates are able to obtain such qualification merely through automatic conversion via degree in accounting in any of local universities..of course with 3 years of experience in accounting or finance environment..that's the different between the 'automatic conversion' and the 'accountant in the making'..

Had I been given a choice of doing things differently, I would definitely not giving up the opportunities of studying overseas..even though I have to take another 4 papers of MIA..surely being overseas graduates gave me the experience that I might not get them here..

Well...it's nice to be able to express how I feel in this blog..not bad huh...I can actually write..no wonder there are many 'new bloggers on the block'..

Well..I will continue writing..and writing..

Readers,if any at all, would be reading a lot of 'me'..soon..
