How time flies! It seems not long ago that I just started on my accounting career.. wondering if I could handle all the politics, workload, colleagues..
Thankfully, as I totally depended on Him in the area of work, the favour with people and wisdom that I never had before just flow naturally! pray that it will continue to be this way and I will not make any mistakes!
The past few months at work has been really hectic.. with the implementation of the GIRO system(in charge), automated system, 2013 year end closing, month end closing, auditors coming to check our accounts, 2013 massive clean up of fixed asset + filing from 1988-2010(in charge), on top of additional receptionist work.. LOL you can imagine how busy we were. I even had to bring work home during the weekends to do!! >< haha this is something i told myself I will NEVER EVER do as work is work, and it shouldn’t pollute my happy life. Hahaa but oh well..
However, what kept me going all these 5 months is knowing that all things WILL work together for the good, in the end. Just that the end seems so far away sometimes..
But YAYY the worst is over I believe! Due to over exhaustion and my body screaming for me to stop OT-ing so much, I have decided, it’s time to shift my focus! Back to my health. Resting more at home..sleeping and eating more as my friends has commented that I am looking very tired and weak recently.
SOOO, goodbye to overtime and hello to my new life!!:)
Here are some things I am really looking forward to:
-receiving my BYOD to purchase a laptop for work, in June
-July govt bonus!
-going Australia in June!=D
OMGGG I am so excited now that I think my body battery is recharging at a rate of 0.1% per hour! :)
20 more work days to my trip!=DD
HEHEHEEE. Fruits of hardwork is really sweet!!:) LOL oops I forget to add that next Monday is our month-end closing deadline and I am nowhere close to finishing at this point of time when I am blogging. ><
But who cares? It will be alright in the end, it will!!:D
Hee, ok some pics from my jb trip with my cell grp friends, the first and where we had so much fun together! The best part is dinner, where we ordered so much food (3 plates of veggies, 1 sweet and sour pork, 2 plates of stingray, satay, chee chiong fan, ma bo tofu, drinks, etc) and it only cost us $9.50 each. SUPER CHEAP and YUMMY! (one of the open area coffee shop near KSL) It is really delicious, worth going!
:)
oh yes, I just set up a new bank account! Going to try to hit my goal of saving $20K! (after paying off my commitments)..excited!:)
On a more serious note, some thoughts on money.. I feel that, as long as you are healthy, works hard, saves money, buy some insurance, there is seriously no need to worry about how the future is going to turn out.
I get especially sleepy when people talks about how difficult it is to pay off car expenses, house expenses in this country. E.g: Imagine a BTO house cost about $250,000+ and a car cost $............., a baby cost $.........., and your salary is only $2k-$3k..etc..
Of course, I don’t deny that planning is important, but worrying and having depressing thoughts like how many more years we must slog (with our miserable pay) to pay off the loans, how we can never earn enough to live a comfortable life.. how the government is cheating us of our money through CPF and through many other ways..is NOT GOING to make your life any better! Instead, it will only make you miserable, unappreciative, and resentful every day.
Unless you can do something about it, such as try to earn more money through specialisation in skills, migrate, vote for opposition, study super hard and rise to a position where you can make changes to this system, etc.. I really see no point complaining and making yourself feel sad.
At the end of the day, you never know when you will leave this world. When sickness may struck you, when something unfortunate may happen, when everything will end. Do you really think you can live till 65 years old? (talking to people around my age)
At this point of time in life, with so much news about deaths every day, how people get run down by vehicles, how a ferry can just sink with hundreds of lives in it, how a plane can go missing, it makes me realise one thing:
Life is way too unpredictable.
Stop thinking that you have lots of time left to live in the world! You don’t. In fact, we all don’t know when our last goodbye is.
Maybe I am a morbid person, but even as I write this blog post, I am wondering if it could be my last. When I go to work/go overseas/do anything, I do it to my best/as happy as I can/prepare as if it is my last, and try to impact whoever is around me (good things I hope!)
Why? so that I will not regret. So that if I were to just suddenly disappear from people’s life, I know that I have done my best. My best in everything, and God is happy with me. :D Hopefully I will be missed abit!:D
Of course, I wish to have more time on Earth.. but well, time is not something we can control..
So cherish your life from this moment, count your blessings (good health is one) while you are alive and try to make yourself HAPPY=)
Be strong everyone! Spring will always arrive, after winter. ALWAYS.
Have a great week ahead everyone! :)
*down with flu, but still feeling grateful..pray that I recover soon!*
