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.

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!

More Than Just Melissa

The second round of IDRINK outdoor event was a great success. The crowd loves the drink, and one of the customers who happened to own a cafe asked if I supply the banner and all the ingredients! He loves my design and offer to buy my concept (He thought that I own this franchise!).

Mr Geh (Director of Sunway Lagoon Club and HR) even offered me a position in Sunway Group because he admired my entrepreneurial spirit and dedication! He insisted that I submit my resume and will pull some strings to get me in. I do have thoughts of it, but coming back to Malaysia is not part of my plan unless they offer me double of what I am earning now, slim chance though.

Plus, the only thing I know is AUDIT and doubt I am qualified enough to manage a full set of account. Nevertheless, it is great to know that people do see more than just Melissa.
