Work Musings

Had been busy for the past few days due to the soccer matches. Caught Germany - Ecuador match, Portgual -Mexico match, Italy-Czech Republic match & a bit of France v Togo match. An update of what's going on the past few days with me.

Tuesday

LB was asking why was I keeping the clients' tax files of documents, despite the promise by IRAS that they are converting to an electronic filing & documentation system. I was quite stunned by the question. The new system, even if in place, does not mean that you can do away with all the document filing as the system will slow down due to the number of public listed companies & private limited companies in Singapore. Given the choice, I will still prefer the current system that has all the physical paper documents.

Wednesday

K tendered her resignation. I was surprised that I was the 1st to know, as I was expecting Q to know it first as they were ex-colleagues. I was not surprised by the fact that she found a better prospect, as she mentioned to me before that she was not really happy with the bonus given. I guess she didn't get any pay increment as well, just like me. She was asked to do audit besides her accounting jobs.

Friday

Met up with Richard, Rebecca & Jason at Marina Square for Billy Bombers. Rebec was a bit sad that Huiyu can't come at the last minute. So it was 3 bodyguards and a gal again. All of us had full course dinner. I felt that it was good & quite worth it, considering the serving and food that we had.

Went for KTV next, and sang till 2.30am. Was surprised that it was raining as we waited for our cabs. My mood was spoiled by the fact that mum smsed & called me to get home at about 2am. I was angered by the sms, " Your dad drive taxi, not back yet, then u so enjoy". My mind was a blank as I felt that I am already 27 & I knew how to take care of myself, and furthermore, I was using my own money to enjoy. I am not spending a single cent of my parents' money.

My three friends were surprised that I was still being controlled, despite of my age. Got to thank Jason for helping me to tell my mum about the outing last nite, when she called.
