Ref|ect|oN

Today marks 8 months' of work in EY Sydney office. It has been smooth for me since I embarked onto Australia on 24 Jul 2006.

~ Getting my apt in 2-3 days' time since i arrived
~ Having a great housemate, Joan
~ Meeting plenty of good frens
~ Having Jason here for almost half the time
~ Eating loads of stuffs in Winter and diet-controlling since Spring
~ Saving a tidy sum of AUD
~ Melting into the diversified cultures and people around me
~ Fighting with sleepiness to study, quizzes, projects, focus sessions, exams
~ Hearing that Ryan (my nephew) is getting bigger and fitter day by day
~ Knowing that Jason's and moi family doing well
~ Cooking lots of stuffs
~ Paddys Mkt every weekend, washing, vacumn, drying, cleaning, tidying
~ Blah, blah, blah

I m glad that I have made the decision to come here at this time. This aint a lucrative money-making job but I enjoy what I am learning and doing.

Probably I would be in NY or Ldn at the end of next year for a while when I become a qualified CA (*Fingers crossed* - it all depends on moi negotiating skills with Partners - it aint that hard after all, right? i really wish.)

Morgan Freeman Cab Driver

Having a lecture on Monday 9-5pm today. Shucks i woke up at 830am again . Got on a cab at 9am thinking that i can use my ATM card to pay . ya again, didnt bother to draw cash *I would say i think Australia is a place where ATM is not readily available in all places*.

Coincidentally, it was the cab driver who picked me up before and to my first MTA lecture 2 weeks ago. And goodness, i knew that his machine was spoilt only till i reached the school. I had not a penny on me. He was so kind to ask me to pay him the next time i get on his cab. So cool. He looks like Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty. haha. really. he saved my morning by not making me go somewhere to withdraw and pay him. kind soul.

A good start to my Monday and forgot to mention, I am on leave for the whole week!! Haha . so a good start to my week!
