The Year 2010 In Review

-

I decided to the review for this year early as I will be quite busy over the next few days, till over the New Year.

This year has been a mixed year for me, but overall I feel that it has been good, except for the swindle incident that happened to me in April this year. Till today, I am still baffled by what made me part my money to the swindler. It was a substantial sum lost, but a good lesson learnt.

Work

My work is going on very well. I am glad that my bosses and manager have been having a lot of faith and confidence in me. I am trying my best not to disappoint them. So far, I think I am doing great, since they are rewarding me accordingly.

Study

All is not well on the study front as I failed my ACCA Professional Accountant paper again. I have tried all the professional papers for the past 3 years and the results are not showing. I have since decided to stop taking ACCA as I feel that I am not out to be an accountant or CPA or auditor. My disability has certainly prevented me to be an auditor, while an accountant’s job is certainly not what I want for its mundane nature and late hours towards month end.

I have since obtained a Tax Practitioner Certification with the help of my bosses, who actually helped me sign off my application form. If not for them, I think I will still be at a loss over what to do.

Volunteer Work

The year where my efforts were recognised by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, when he mentioned my name in his opening speech. This was also the year, where the CC I was attached to was awarded the Top 3 CCs in this year’s exercise. This was my 5th award in 6 years.

BGR

A few gals caught my attention, but all of them did not work out or I did not pursue further interest after knowing them better. Perhaps I am giving myself too much stress due to paternal pressure,

With that, I round up my review by wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!~

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.
