recently all the dreams i dreamt of... as I turn out to realise.. are images of the future.
For example.
I dreamt of standing on a high place and looking out at a patch of grass... with buildings and a small road leading out..
and i was thinking.. was a weird dream.. i would nv go to such placesss and have been been to those.
and as it turned out.. IT was... bangkok. and I was standing on the BTS station and looking down. the high building was Sukhumvit hotel.

So.. I should make a note of my dream. In case I really do get a chance to see them. I got proof! ahah!
so last night, I dreamt of me in a shopping mall. ok, in the dream.. I feel that I am in bangkok's shopping mall.. a rather luxourious one. and we were buying something like clothes or ribbons.
and they are all in gold cashmere or gold lace. I was happily choosing cos it's cheap and pretty.
I rem that all the items ard us are gold in colour and I grabbed a few pieces and showed it to... this i cant cfm, was it Evon or Alex?

Date of dream: Night of 18th Sept (Sunday night)

2011 passed like a breeze mi-annnnnn.. by the time I got to breathe, it more than passed half the year.
Gosh.. looking back at the 8mths, I seriously have got to do some serious soul searching.
I haven done 10 out of the 10 things I told myself at CNY's annual make-resolutions day!

And looking at the remainders of the year, I am 120% positive that the resolutions got to be postponed again...

Only 18 days away from wearing a ring on the 4th finger and 19 days away from flying to BangKok.
I'm Kinda sure...that the trip Thrills me more than the ceremony.. Opps!
Nahh.. my dreamish kind of Getting Wedded would be somewr overseas.. facing the wide wide SEA and the blue blue SKY.
like at the Spur of The Moment type.

I keep asking myself..wad Would I like to do b4 all the commitments and liabilities kick in?
hmm.. I thought to myself that I would do sthg I haven done b4.. 1 thing a day for everyday since 39 days ago.
and till today.. i've done.. NONE? hahaha!

BUT yet, the BIGGEST and most valuable lesson I take away from all the preparation.. is that..
nthg is more impt than.. having ur husband there on the day of the ceremony. HAHA.
Having said that..U can conclude that mine have none of those beautifying, dramatic, dreamy pictures.
A very homey and simple and nicey sit down meal is 1-of-my-kind :)
Wad more shd we ask for?

oh ya.. of cos after ur partner has agreed that u can go Europe with ur frens for 2 mths.. HEHEHE..

can i stop complaining? i really hate to complain..
like spoil brat who cant even put in a little bit of heard work..

ok, mayb i can tell u the gd part of the work?
is that the heaviest of my very heavy work load comes in on the 16th of every month, when i have to do consolidation for the entire group.

in Oct, when the subsidiaries send us their data on the 16th OCTOBER, a friday..
my team was really nice to me.
they knew i had to stay back till real late to finish the consol cos they are all coming in the next day to start working on the data, they waved goodbye happily at me at 5.30pm SHARP.
they grin and smile while i was crushing.
i will never forget the day they said BYE and CYA TMR with all the work done grins.

I felt like jus leaving.

AND u know wad the greatest sacrifice was? 16th Oct was Alex's birthday!
hai.. and i thought, ok, mayb the date will shift ard for different months.
maybe it's like 2nd friday of the month they have to submit their data.
BUT NO! i overheard them say that it will always be on the 16th of the month!
congrats. so as long as i remain in this job dear, i will never get to celebrate ur birthday for u..
i suggest u go surf jobsdb and jobstreet and gov.jobs now for me..

oh ya..mind u..the subsidiaries submitted their data late this month..so i'm still in the office now..
and ....it is a friday nite. nice. i luv my job.

arh! here comes another incident.

on wed..the day i jus came back from work.. (i took MC on tue cos fell sick)..
the doc gave me TWO days MC but i decided that there was jus too much work so i will come back and finish up.
so i asked L how to start the fixed asset write off? I asked her on the Monday that she came back to work..
Me: er..L, how to start with the fixed asset (FA) write off? wad shd i do firsT?
L: looks through the soft copy files in the F Drive..i mean the drive is called F drive meaning Finance Drive. No scolding vulgarities ok. den she found a file, open it..
L said,' u jus follow the tab in this file. u see through ALL these and try to figure out wad i was doing and follow'

ok, and so i did. but the file's 1st 3 tabs were tedious. i had to extract the info from the SAP system and copy and paste them in the first tab.
in the 2nd tab, i had to read the SAP description and allocate them into their cost centres, update the accum depreciation and match each one to the SAP to make sure that not one is missed out.
in the 3rd tab, i had to collate the minor assets and allocate to the cost centres.
in the 4th tab, i had to pick out the computer items from the 3rd tab.

den i was stuck. hmm...so i think think..decipher decipher.. cannot.. been working on it since monday..took me 2 days to reach here.
so i wento ask L..
Me: i've filled in to the 4th tab. so now how to continue?
L looked at the work done and said: oh, actually u dun need to do all these tabs! u jus need to fill in the 8th tab only. it is a combination of all the tabs. this is the only one worksheet i need. the front are all my casual workings last yr.

GOOD. i totally cant accept this fact.
My face went black. I gave her a 'huh? wad the f? look'
it was 5pm when she told me that. I spent another 2hrs doing up the 8th tab.
so in total, i spent 12 hrs (on mon i worked till 8 plus pm) + 12 hrs (on wed) + 8hrs (thurs) + 2hrs = 30hrs on sthg that only required 2 hrs.

DOUBLE CLAPS + STANDING OVATION.

the most amazing thing is.....at the end of 2 hrs, she told me...
L: actually it's ok. if u cannot finish den leave it to next yr.
WOAH! best answer!

den today L asked: so CL, how is the fixed asset thing going on? done?
WOAH! if i really listened to her on thurs on the 'it's ok, leave it to next yr' and stopped...den..i'm DEAD.

oh pls. someone bless me with lesser complaints to complain.

i jus had a poisonous apple during lunch...so now i'm feeling really drowsyyyy...
zzzZZzzz...
the forest outside is full of poisonous fruits..

anyway so many complaints recently.
i really give up on my job. and i give up on my colleagues.
they always have so many traps for me. i'm young and silly.
how CAN I TRUST THEM???

last fri was really the ultimate...
when i was closing the corporate books, i ALREADY asked the accts executive y she didnt recognise the loan to one of our subsi..

me: E, rem to put in the loan and the interest into this month's account ok. (i even went all the way to call up the other colleague to do up and send us the interest to accrue)

E: huh? i asked the Finance Mgr C alr. she say to recognise at year end only.

me: orh is it? (cos E and C are gd lunch mates). i dun wanto doubt E u know. she has worked here for a FUCKING FIFTEEN YEARS.

so i TRUST her. and i did everything else to close the accounts. i tell u the steps:
- look through ALL the bank recons. we have 15 of them.
- look through all the receipts and check the SAP entries (abt 40 of them)
- look through all the journal entries (about 40 of them)

there after, look through ALL the SAP accounts to see if we missed out anything or didnt reval any account. each and every one of those.
next, upload to consol system and reclass and adjust accordingly. u can imagine the whole process if it takes me 1 to 1.5 days to complete jus this process.
den do up the flash report which shows the PnL results (one day).

den give my FM, she look through, come and ask how come nv take in the loan.
so naturally..of cos i jus wanto clarify that eh..
Me: eh, i asked E alr..she say she ask u n u say recognise at end of year rite?
E: huh? u where got ask me? wad loan? aiya..i misunderstand. u nv ask clearly i thought u asking abt another loan
Me: ??!!! wad is another loan? there is only OnE loan?!!
Sweat.

so if u dunno how to protect urself..good luck to u..
this is jus one example. coming up with more
