2006 Year-End Note

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

I thank God for all the things He has done in my life. 2006 has been a great year for me.

Despite of the never ending work story, i grateful for co-workers and friends that help me get through all the ups and downs @ work. in the end, i still really love the auditing things I am doing. =P

I surely miss my friends back in Jakarta, but i also make some new friends here . Thanks girls for visiting me (en udah bawain g indomie, teh sariwangi and mie sedap. hehe…), Thanks buat dame and lusy yang udah gosokin semua baju g on ur last day here!! Thanks for erika, antonia, deisy for staying at my place..I have a great time accompany you girls shopping until 3 a.m. midnight!

Thanks buat selly, mely, putri for ur encouragement. (Sel, semoga resolusi 2007 loe tercapai! *amin*)

I also had a holiday (finally) to HK  with my brother, eventhough we broke after a couple of days staying there..but we survived somehow..and managed to find nice and cheap places to eat. hehe..

There are so many things I am grateful about..

they said some people come into our life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. For whatever reason it is, thank you for being a part of my life…

I hasn’t make a new year resolution yet, I think my first new year resolution will be: "to wake up early in the morning" <– this is a real challenge! >_+ 

I believe 2007 will be a better year for me and I thank God for all the things He is going to do in my life.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Red Carpet Moment

Saturday, December 9th, 2006

Last Thursday..went for the firm’s d&d (dinner and dance). It was really fun..took pics with some of the colleagues i worked together with in the audit engagements. It’s so nice to see them again. ^^ Anyone who wonder why..it’s because eventhough we worked together in the same office, we rarely stay in office (a.k.a. work at client’s place). I have co-workers in one of my previous engagements that i haven’t met (again) for more than 1/2 years until that d&d night!

And I saw my housemate also ( he is my landlady’s son who also working at EY)..so we took picture together. Again, eventhough we share the same roof.. we rarely see each other at home! >_+ It’s either he came home late or i came home very late, and he is a morning person.. always left home to office on around 7 in the morning.. whereas, i am still in my dream island (alias..still sleeping. hehe..)

The EY d&d theme is Red Carpet. It was really nice to see the ladies wearing glamour dress, some of the guys wearing tuxedo. =)

Got some performances from each of department done by the first-year assistants (who else!? =P). I like the song the RAS department sang.. it’s a parody song of "i will survive" version. the lyrics start with "at first i was afraid when i joined EY"..and  something about "then i spent so many nights working at my client’s place"..and "for as long as i have my friends, i know i’ll stay alive! I will survive, hey hey"  *lol*

yeah right..it think it’s a bitter-sweet of auditor’s life. (my friend called it auditor blues). =D

The d&d finished around 11 something..and guess what..the next day (friday) we still need to work at client’s place! *hiks*

They don’t allow us to go to office (when saying office.. i mean EY’s office) because they are moving things out to the new office building. (this Monday will be the first day we are working in the new builidng and will have a breakfast ceremony).

So, I went to client’s place on friday.. the client gave the TB (trial balance) on wednesday..but until friday afternoon, the figures still change. now with me is the TB - 3rd version! Deadline is on next Thursday to submit to Hongkong’s office which means only 4 working days left. Just when I thought anything can’t get any worse.. the accounting manager told me that ALL the accounting staffs will be on training next week..and can only available to ‘entertain’ us during lunch hour. >< OMG….

That’s why they said..at EY, we play hard, work hard and pray hard!

*wish me luck, people*
