Updates!

Hi everyone!

Yes, i have not been updating for more than a month.

Been working for 5 months plus.

Ending my period of internship at the end of this month.

Looking back when i started in September, I had slight regrets in the beginning because there was not much work to look forward too.

The opportunity to experience and learn new things was slim when i was in the first few weeks.

But i prayed to God for the chance to learn and also to use the accounting software.

God answered my prayers! (Amen to that)

I have learned to use the cheque typing machine, issuing cheques (get to be a 'boss' for once!), writing payment vouchers, typing with microsoft power point and excel, photostat documents, scanning, faxing, filling in courier forms, translating brochures from english to chinese.

But, the work load is not consistent.

Sometimes the week seems so long because there is so much work or towards the other end when there is nothing much to do.

To fill up my free time, i end up reading news.

Yes, news.

So many websites i have read: BBC, CNN, The Star, Channel News Asia, Bangkok Post and some i may have forgotten.

Other than that, learning how to deal with different people is also something BIG that i experience.

Have to learn how to take scoldings, negative respond with patience and a smile.

It's hard really, i struggled deep in my heart.

Thankfully God reminded me once again of the Song Hosanna.

' Show me how to love like You have loved me'

Besides, I have seen the tension between different races happening.

For me I just stay neutral.

I try to mix around with different races.

Probably it's because i was in a multi-racial school and mixing around with malays and indians is not a problem for me.

Through it all, this is only the beginning.

When i become a full time employee of a company/ small firm, there will be more issues to deal with and my patience will be tested even more.

When things don't turn out the way it should be, keep your eyes focus on the cross and know that the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom and guide you in the right path.

Today I decided to follow my dad to Teluk Intan Wesley for conducting Holy Communion and also to preach there.
I did not expect this, but i got to know more people who are in the working world.
They shared their view point on the economy and also the Euro Crisis that is happening recently.

Sometimes newspaper is influenced by a lot of factors, one of it is the Government trying to regain confidence of investors both foreign and local, and also the people who are contributing through taxes.

Not only that, i got to know a new friend who did ACCA!
I can ask her more questions of being an accounting student and how to 'survive' being one!
It's not easy for the course i am pursuing, but i am glad she encouraged me that it opens more job opportunities for me and more choices to go for!

I did not expect that i will know more people.
Even told my dad last night, i was partially reluctant to go.
But you know what, NO REGRETS!

Got to know more about the Oil Industry and we must really be prepared for any economic crisis that will happen in our country.
Malaysia will somehow or rather be affected by this crisis.
Stop listening to sweet words being spread through the media.
It's not that simple.
Even China, one of the developing and Big economy in the world is affected.
What about Malaysia?

This is the time we as Christians need to ask God for His guidance and wisdom.
Don't forget to give your tithes to God too!
He has blessed you with so much, why can't you spare just 10% of your income to Him?

Another important lesson i learned while gaining this working experience is to be very careful with people who will only be your friend when they need something from you.

I have experienced it myself when they need something they will be extra nice to me and also to have a conversation.
But when they don't, the rest of the days will be a silent gesture and my presence is ignored.

I really admire the malay colleagues in my office, because they have freedom to talk with each other without expecting something in return and also to enjoy and laugh with each other.
Whereas with some people, i feel so tensed whenever i am with them.
I feel the gap and the distance.
I have tried to be their friend, but when people are not open to you, they are just treating you as invisible.

Without God's love, my response will be so different from now.
It will be how the world will response and this is how war happens.

Christmas 2011

Christmas tree in Mid Valley, captured with a professional camera.

2011 is a year where many electronic appliances broke down.
For example my dad's camera.
So, he decided to get a dslr- Canon 660D!
To date, i have been capturing more than him which is a surprise because usually he captures more than me.

There are more functions in a dslr to play with especially the lightings!
Hopefully it will serve us well!

I think one of the most scariest dream ever is dreaming about my colleagues.
Not that they are scary but the dream goes like this.
I was working in the office like any other day and i was unhappy with my boss.
So i told one of my colleagues how i felt.
But she ended up reporting to my boss so my boss was very angry with me and he intend to take revenge!

I woke up this morning, being so terrified and scared that i prayed i will not make any major, huge mistakes when i am working.
If not my dream may come true.
p/s : My boss is a nice person and i know he won't be scary as my dream is. =)
