My art.

Are we devising a losing strategy?

Or are we losing a battle?

Which is worse?

To draw a strategy doom to fail?

Or to fight a fight knowing you have fought?

Which is satisfying?

Spending time mulling over a strategy that is of no interest to you?

Or spending time exhausting your spirit in true faith for your soul?

Which is worthy?

Do we want to be known as a strategist or a warrior?

My label says it all.

Time for everyone to consider. SIGHS.

Do you have M.A.D.D in your life?

Make A Difference Day.

Business units K and G were tasked to clean the beach and participate in the "Plant-a-tree" program. 

To kick start August, we woke up bright and early to clean the beach near NSRCC. Gross. Tons of bottles on the greens. My HP network became "Telkomsel". Then Mr Michelin said, "the bottles must have floated from Indonesia to Singapore. Washed ashore, and therefore, the bottles!" Haha.. Hilarious.

Tree planting was way more fun. We literally brought raffles place culture to Changi Coastal Park Connector. We "chope" trees to be planted with our water bottles, tissue packs and all sorts of nonsense. Cause all we wanted was the smallest tree. Easiest I guess.

Some of the G1s headed to Downtown East to sing and be merry. We were there to do a preview show of Mama Mia. =P Check out the great crew. (Our director and producer were missing in action. Chen Shaoguang and Ang Chih Yeong.)

Anyway, remember to have a MADD in your life!

Wonker Gang @ JB minus some stuck at custom, some at work..

In moderation, 1985.

I need to get life back in moderation again. I have not mentioned about work, real work, in my posts. I was also reminded of it by my PIC a few days back. So as with everything in life, I need to do it in moderation. A balance is all that I am seeking for. Fairness is what everyone wants in life, isn't it? What am I saying anyway?


Sis has left to LA for holidays. Sobs. 2 weeks. Hope she comes back with gifts for me. Ok, it is not so much of the gifts. But rather just the joy of receiving. It is tiring to give always, right God?

I was sitting in office today, reminiscing about how everything comes together in life. I told yiwen aka mama that I found it so weird that 9 months ago, I was sitting in the pantry on level #3 looking at her. Cause she looked like a mediacorp actress Priscilla (Zeng Shi Mei) and now I am on the Pru team with her. It is so magical that everything falls into place. And of course, there is also yy aka youyu aka auntie aka cuttlefish. Her presence is comforting. I am serious. And tuo ma shi, for entertaining me. I didn't know he was so funny when I knew him in TS Tay. Haha!

I am also thankful for the friends team. Consisting of Phoebe, Chandler and Joey. Yeah, we need Monica and Ross. For all the madness on MSIG and Friends Provident. Wah haha, yes we all love 31st March.

Here's the cheers to the end of 31st March. The damn reporting deadline given by MAS.

Oh yes, it is also your birthday. Happy Birthday.

Catch up with my own life.

3 Sundays back, I went to my AM's wedding. Felt weird as I was the only associate level 1 kiddo. But my fellow associate mama and cuttlefish made it better.

The food was great and company was great.

I am so lazy to update.

Auditors Relaxing?!

I didn't manage to take a lot of photos that day cause I was busy relaxing @ Fort Canning Legends Club with my fellow mates. Played MJ with them... Then we had some outdoor games that really made us sweat like mad. That explains the slack outfit we were in.
After which, we headed for buffet at the cafe. The day ended near 11 when our ex-partner talked and talked... the G2s also had a mini interview session with him.

I think we all had fun and getting to know some people better. Haha...

People @ Work.

Some of the G2s went to Brewerkz for some good beer. Got ourselves a 4litre tower. Seems enough for a Wednesday. Haha! I think. It seemed. Now that I think of it, it is way too little! Haha, an alcoholic speaking.
The Pru team at the ex-coo's room. We had the luxury to use it for a day cause they couldn't give us a room! I could see Hong Leong Building. Neat. My pretty and handsome seniors. Ha! The triangle peak building is AIA. The thing behind is ORQ - One Raffles Quay... What else? Nice view. I wish I can be a COO too.

Merlioned

I thought I better write this down before everyone points the finger and said you were drunk!
So so so... I admit that I had a little too much and all I wanted to do was to sleep.
Everyone had good intentions and sit up and puke. But all I want is to lie down.

Thanks to my buds in KP. Weimin and Daph. Luckily da fei was more alert than min. Haha. I was just totally sleepy. And someone called min and min kept saying F you F you to the person over the phone. Which I just found out it was none other than Victor Toe. Haha...
Thanks to Melvin who kept asking me to put legs apart to puke. But I was too tired to care. =P But simply too tired to reply.

And I kept asking Dafei if she had my HP while lying down .... and my camera kept slipping out of my pocket... BUT I remembered them. Cause the hp is dear to me and the camera full of memories.

A night to remember. Thanks for all making it worthwhile. At least for that moment, I forgot heavy thoughts and only remember those faces that I love and care in my mind.

Morning awake. Msged Dafei and min... Found out that min merlioned too! And Yiing was a total mess too. Seems like everyone was sloshed. Victor Toe was sloshed too. My fellow G2s, we did make it worthwhile.

17 shots. 1 bourbon coke. Thanks KPMG.

Sports and Slimming

Futsal Team. Next year CPA Games, here we come.

Food and Meetings

Yes, we all love excuses. To take time off work that is. So my unit celebrated 4 peeps' birthday in the pantry with an awfully chocolate cake. It was real sinful to skip work and dig into a muddy chocolate cake. But well...
My JC class met for the once in year gathering. This was organised by the very free Josh. Haha... We all had a good time just to catch up with each other. =)

Updates about my life...

KPMG Community Day 2007

@ KPMG Community Day. Jac our secretary put me in charge of distributing goodie bags. That was really easy... with my fellow G2s of course!

Top right photo, my MSIG team seniors... We love birds, don't we? Remind me of those days when dad kept many birds at home. My crescent and tj friends even said my place was redhill birdpark. Those were the days.

Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2007

Before the celebrations, all 6 of us had dinner @ Dian Xiao Er. To celebrate his birthday. A belated one that is.

Thanks to Lawrence for walking to the 'toilet' to get us the cake. Ew right. Thanks to Jul for the tickets to floating platform. All for that glory of the 15 minutes of fireworks, we had to be stuck in a jam for more than 15 minutes. Human jam, traffic jam. Had great company with you guys. Muacks.

PSK Marche

Met up with the piggies @ Marche. I find the selection now is blah. Don't wanna go there again at least in the next month. Great company, so who cares?

Guides @ Harry's

Had a late work night that day. So managed to met up with the guides gang over @ Harry's for a quickie drink. One was enough, cause there is more work to be done!

KPMG Sports Day 2007

All G2s of A8K went down for KPMG Sports Day. I played Netball... It was a good game. Actually wanted to played Futsal (my fave) but it had to start at a very terrible timing cause I had to rush for Corrinne May's Concert @ UCC. So there you go. (3rd August 2007)

Convocated as said by Grace Foo (KP Issue)

Taken with the KPMG peeps. My unit. A8K. Weimin, Me, Chih Yeong and Yiing Yng. And Daph in A1G. Haha, I love my unit.

Work and Chill

We had promo lunch @ Straits Cafe Rendezvous. =) It was a treat from the seniors who got promoted. Pretty ok buffet lunch.
The top 2 photos were taken during training... And the bottom 2, my unit G2s! We shall see how we look like in another few years.

Haha.

NUE Beginning

I started a new phase of my life on Wednesday. I know it sounds so BORING. Let me whine a little, won't you?

2nd day of work, I dressed down like my team mates cause we were supposed to be BBQ that night. But in the end, it was just a sit down dinner with BBQ food under the skies at Fort Canning. =)

First day, had jap dinner.

Yesterday, met up with the acid comm for free desserts. =) While the rest had free dinner and desserts. Haha!

That sums up my boring life.

"Baggages", Baggages and Work

3 days of work had passed me by without me realising the pains of work YET.

I hate other baggages that comes with work.
1) Wearing make up.
2) Walking in covered heels.
3) Wearing damn formal.

And of course, being an auditor, you are given many extra baggage to carry. I was given 2 bombs on 2 separate days.
1) A trolley bag for document. It is that kind that you bring up on the plane. God, I don't want to be seen pulling that anytime soon.
2) A laptop bag with of course the laptop.

And work.
I don't know if I should ever discuss about work. You know the secrecy and independence.

Anyway, overdue photos.

On 2nd, went out with the brainies. Our monthly get out. Then finally brought the accountant and weijie to One Rochester. My fave hang out besides sun with moon. Haha. Went after meeting the brainies and my wsc meeting.

We ordered the first round of drinks with 2 sides. Farmer's Sausage and Fries. The sausage was alright but the fries were addictive. Dean's Dragon, Mojito & Cosmopolitan.

We ordered 2nd round of drinks with more fries. Haha. Shirley temple for our driver/accountant, zack's killer and dragonfruit martini for myself! I am holding onto the shirley temple not the dragonfruit...

More foodie hunting with them and Heidi soon!

New Beginning on 1st Week of July

Contrary to all those hoax about KPMG's a slave driver hell hole place, I had fun at Brewerkz today at KPMG Acceptance Party. Yes. I mean it.

Well, maybe everything seems very 'surface', but I am sure we more or less know what we're in for.

For the record, Weimin is in A8K with me! Pretty happy to have such a sweet lad with me. The guy who queued 2 hours for the donuts for his girlfriend. I am sure he will treat his buddy just as well! Haha!

And I got daphy and bert on the same level with me. And of course some other peeps I happen to know. Particularly the lot from Crez and TJ! Haha... So many till I am blur.

Give me higher pay!
