Work life

I've been rather enjoying myself since i started work. Yes it is indeed a hectic life, but it's fun. The 2 weeks i've been in Sibu, I've learnt a lot about audit and how to go about it. Am still learning, but that 2 weeks really gave me the exposure that i need.

My part time lecturing has also been going on well so far. This time i think i did much better than the first time i lectured in my previous college. This credit does need to give to the college who gives real support to their lecturers.

I'll be going off again to Sibu tomorrow for a week. Haha.. didn't expect myself to be outstation once I got into this accounting firm. But it's really fun working outstation coz it all seems more relaxing. And of course the time spent with colleagues to get to know them more.

Study life and work life indeed differs. I don't think i've changed much since i started work but it gives me a new challenge. Some people say they prefer studies than work. I guess i do too when work is overwhelming and one needs to deal with politics in the firm or just the relationships with fellow colleagues. Sometimes it can be rather draining.

All in all, i don't know my feelings yet about work. But managing finance wise is something that i'm learning. To ensure that i don't spend more than what i earn and try to save. In which is quite impossible as of now.

Oh yeah, i just attended my graduation (CBS) last saturday. It was rather last minute, but ahaha first time wearing the robe and all that, kinda nice. Seeing myself a graduate. I still can't grasp that. Haha.. Perhaps all these are just too fast. Even now when people asked me you are now working? Have you finished your studies? I would answer yes and still not quite used to tell others that i've graduated.

2 days ago, my manager asked me what's next? Like what's next after my studies and also an award that i've gotten. I'll update you guys on that award when i received the confirmation. Anyway, i truly do not know what's next. Work life can be dry and routine and meaningless. Like without purpose. Everyday, day in day out is work work and more work. It's not exactly the life that i would like to live in. Am still exploring what i can do with my life. But for now, i better just concentrate on my 3 years of working to get my chartered. Then i'll think about what's next. What do you say?

ACCA

Guess what?? I passed!!! No more studies, no more exams!!! Great? haha.. hope so. Really thank God for his faithfulness and grace. Amazing... I'm just so amazed to have passed my ACCA. Proud? Yeah... Especially on this final one. All i can say is, without Christ, it won't have been possible.

So.. now the headache is which graduation to attend? I can either attend my college one or ACCA one. Still deciding but time is running out coz I have to give an answer by Tuesday.

Actually i just came back from Sibu. It was my first outstation assignment and for 2 weeks somemore. I enjoyed myself tremendously. It's fun to work out of Kuching, where i can fully concentrate on that job. Learnt a lot as well. Happy happy...

But I'm concern about my part time lecturing job which has been postponed for 2 weeks as i was outstation. My first lecture will be tomorrow evening and I'm truly nervous. Although I've taught that paper before but I'm just not confident about myself. Am worrying if the students find me boring or lousy or don't-know-how-to-teach. Hmm.. guess i'll have to leave that worrying part till tomorrow.

So long!
