Michael Phelps!

Recently, my work has been shit. Okay, i am going to whine about my work again, i hate to whine but i really feel uncomfortable if i dun whine. Have been working late for the past few days bcos we are rushing the conso for the partner to review. The client has been taking MC for the past few days and we have no one to turn to when we got queries. The thing i hate about conso is about classification. We have to spend hours trying to figure out the classification esp when the client is not around and the overseas auditor's FS is like shit. When i say its shit, its really shit! They just lump all expenses under other operating expenses and all income under other income. And they actually have no notes to account for their profit and loss statement at all.

Work from around 10am yesterday to 2am this morning trying to figure out where the client has gone wrong in their consolidation entries, filling in the FS and clearing EQUAR pts. On Friday, me and my senior actually worked until 4 pm before we had our lunch. Ended up what we got was still scolding from the manager. I admit we had oversight on our part but i simple hate it when he say : "what has u all been doing for the whole day?" If not for the change he want to make at the last min, which make us have to reprint everything and reperform all our work again, we would not have made that mistake too. Sometimes i really feel why am i so stupid to skip meals for my work. Nobody appreciate it anyway.

And everyone in office thought i got EE (exceed expectations which is a performance indicator equivalent to an 'A' in exams). People who got EE gets $100 more for their monthly salary I think. I dun really care about the $100 more but its a signal of the company's appreciation for yr efforts. To me, getting an 'A' in exams is seriously much easier than getting EE here. For exams, i have everything under my own control. But here, it seem so hard to get people's appreciation and it often have to depends on the two words "guan xi". Kang jian ask me whether i feel that the company let me down for not giving me EE. Actually, as long as the managers and partners praise us for our work and say thank you when we slog for them, i feel that that is enough. But so far, i only hear one manager saying that to us. The rest just take it for granted which make me really damn pissed off.

Woke up at 10am to watch Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal! That match was simply exciting ! They almost lost to the Aussies. Tonight is Singapore's table tennis match, i hope they win but i still hope that one day, it will be really Singapore born Singaporeans bringing us the glory.
