Having a Dream Job

Many people will 'kill' to have a dream job like mine. I guess I am the envy of his relatives' kids who wish to have it easy like working at home. But before I had this dream job, I had to work outside and strive it on my own in Singapore and in Penang. Life in corporate world is not easy and it is survival of the fittest. Politics also play a big part, adding to more stress and unnecessary worries. They want easy money without having to sweat it out. Doesn't that apply for most people? That's how my aunt was cheated by daniel lee, my cousin and her 3rd brother's youngest son who had finished National Service in Singapore. He did not graduate, fool around but is now a millionaire, since 3rd aunt was cheated of Singapore Dollars two million to buy a property in Cambodia. She has a penchance for property investment overseas and knowing this, lazy daniel conned poor aunt of her money despite being in her twilight years! I think daniel should be punished! He had the guts to boast that he 'won' S$1 million in the casino! What utter baloney!

Work to begin soon

I woke up today and my puppy was already waiting outside the door of my bedroom. She could sense that I was coming out soon. After a cup of milk with vitamins and supplements, it was her time to have breakfast. But before that I had to clear her pee near her cage. She takes pet kibbles with warm water to soften the food. Then I gave her the gel vitamins squeezed from a tube and shortly later, she pooped at the place where her former cage was in my computer room. We pray for Leia say grace first, before she is allowed to eat her food. This is to teach her patience and not to get overly excited at seeing her food right in front of her. Thereafter, I did the usual work looking for microjobs before doing the job proper of my boss at around 9:00am.

Accountant came yesterday

My company accountant came yesterday to settle the GST payment being the last day to pay for the period of April - June 2017. I had to typed in the Purchase Receive and Tax Invoices while she wraps up the bit and pieces here and there before I logged into the system to pay online via our bank account. She was the accountant for the late Karpal Singh for 10 years before his departure due to an untimely accident while on the way back from KL to Penang to attend a court case. She also asked me to keep a record of all supplier's Statement of Account regardless of the company and our bank statements from January to June 2017. Well, she is more diligent now since our company got random customs check recently.

Shuttlers hope for career spark with Games gold

SHUTTLERS Teo Ee Yi-Ong Yew Sin are using next month’s Kuala Lumpur SEA Games as their career launching pad.

The world No. 22 men’s doubles pair have done quite well to establish themselves as the national No. 2 over the last one year but have yet to win any significant titles.

They have won one title – the second-tier Bitburger Open – in Germany last year.

Winning the gold at the Aug 19-30 Games will be a perfect boost to Ee Yi-Yew Sin’s confidence.

“It’ll be great to win our first big title at our first SEA Games in front of the home fans, but it’ll not be easy,” said the 24-year-old Ee Yi.

“The Indonesians and Thais will be our main challengers,” he added.

Expectations are high on Ee Yi-Yew Sin to make up for the absence of Rio Olympic silver medallists Tan Wee Kiong-Goh V Shem at the Games. Wee Kiong-V Shem will be taking part in the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, from Aug 21-27.

Might Go Down South This Week

I might go down to KL this sometime this week to collect a cheque and my boss will attend to other matters. If he decides to go down, it will be last minute and we have to put my puppy, Leia into a pet hotel or pet store. Well, she has to learn to be caged up for some time instead of roaming around freely in my computer room or apartment. So, far her temperament is quite good already, not barking non-stop and disturbing the surroundings. She barks for a while and then stop, giving me some peace to continue working with her behind me. Well, you see, her cage and lots of toys are in my computer room as well, since this condo is a 2-bedroom layout. Should we go down, we will use my aunt's car E250 of a newer model to drive down for business.

The Iceberg Illustration

The above is the Iceberg illustration of people seeing your success that is one third of the 2 thirds of failures, hard work, persistence, several disappointments, sacrifices, dedication and discipline that people do Not see your privacy. For instance, I have had to work in several companies in Singapore and learnt on the job the basics in using a computer to be effective now in my job. What they don't see is the hard work and discipline to learn new things and also disappointments as I had to work as a sales assistant when I returned to Penang to start afresh. I could sense that I am the envy of some of his relatives since I get to work at home and also travel frequently with him. Many would kill to be in my position. But nevertheless, nothing is free, and I don't have time to mentor his niece which is the main reason for all the envy and hatred. Afterall, I did not go to university for free! So, don't ask me to teach and mentor for FREE!

So Busy Today

I was mentally tired just now after typing and amending the quotations according to the client's wishes. My boss was too busy on the phone to pay full attention to what was typed via email by the client. Since I know my boss' English to not too good, I had to take the initiative to overide his instructions as I know that is Not what the client wants and will definitely requrests for more amendments and giving the impression that the company cannot take simple instructions. Because of this, I had a headache trying to amend the little stuffs on an image software. Almost the whole day, I listen to my boss repeated the same instructions to the same worker who is a little slow to pick up what was required in his line of work.
