Now & Then

Then

Constant I love you, oh how muchie I miss you and things like that...













Now.

Seated few seats away with the all times 'friendly' sign.

That, my friend is called being in 'love'.

Job

I haven't been posting very often these couple of months cause I was so occupied by work, studies and investment. Supposed to be bidding for an auction property at Vista Komanwel last few weels, Alec and I have already pooled our money together. But sadly the auction was off a day before, perhaps luck wasn't on our side.

I have been reading a lot of property investment book too, Milan Doshi's, Renesial Leong's, RDPD Investment Property and Eric Cheng's. Guess I have shifted my focus from F&B business to property investment. Haha, yes, Melissa sure has a lot of ambitions!

And I almost resign as well! But after spoken to alot of my managers and peers, I have decided to stay and reject the offer which seems to be more attractive for an entry level position. The thought of starting all over again from the bottom of the corporate ladder sounds daunting. So I shall stay here for a while, leading a pack of auditors until the point I can no longer lead :P.

Dior Make Over

Just for fun :P

Yuyen & Jimmy's Wedding Highlights

Last year, I posted how Yuyen's bf proposed to her, and on 10 October 2009, she finally tied the knot. The wedding was very well planned, despite no fancy wedding singer or band but there wasnt a moment of boredom during the 3 hours reception.

We were entertained by photo montage from their younger days, best wishes from friends afar and speeches from both best man and bride of honour. One of the best wedding reception I have ever attended. Should start planning for mine too :P

Resignation

Receiving farewell emails and attending farewell dinners are like celebration of some sort in audit. Instead of feeling sad of departure of yet another fellow colleague/friend, we (the remaining ones) seem to be congratulating them for taking the plunge. While the word 'Resign' is discreetly used in every organisation, but guess in audit, almost everyone uses it at least once in their career. It acts as a encouragement, to spur us to finish it once and for all (then resign) or a word of defeat, to just give up and quit.

And out of 10 who calls it quit, 8 would make good their words.

Here are the pictures when I first joined.

I WANT!

I want a break from work,
I want to further my studies,
I want to continue my piano lesson,
I want to improve my golf swing,
I want to do business,
I want to have more time to understand FRS
I want to have 8 hours of sleep every night
I want to do facial as and when I like
I want Alec to earn more than me so I can stay at home and do all the above!
