Busy Working Week

It has been a busy working week for Paul and his colleagues this week as with the Personal Tax deadline is nearing. For those people who have not filed their taxes, you still have about 11 days, if you are submitting the paper return and 18 April if you are e-filing your tax return.

Work won’t be so busy if the following had not happened.

  1. Boss had allowed us to file our client’s Form B1 & B on the e-filing platform earlier, instead of requesting for Forms at the 1st place.
  2. The influx of companies 2007 financial statements, which were to be submitted by 30 Nov 2008, that were only sent in for audit recently. The auditors need our help to do the tax provisions and these were usually very big cases, with loads of time needed to do them. Yet the auditors always say that they need the accounts by the next working day. If you know that the work is urgent, you should have sent in the job earlier, to allow us to have more time to work on it, and not wait till the last minute, then tell us to try to rush it out for you.
  3. The schedules provided by the client/auditors are always not complete or detailed enough. It is difficuit to work when things are not complete.

Luckily, my boss understands the constraints and had a meeting with us to ensure that we are not overworked. This is something that I could not find in my ex firm. We told her that we will monitor the situation for another 2 weeks or a month before discussing this issue again. I guessed it could be that his son had saw us working very late recently.

I hope the busy period will be over soon.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
