Accountant.
No offense to those in pursuit of becoming one. But perhaps being one is not my cup of kopi-o. Been there and seen that. #truestory
Im working at Cushman & Wakefield (S) Pte Ltd now! (yes, i must follow the official name, strictly) But you might ask, no it doesnt sound like an accounting firm but a real estate firm. That's right, but Im inside the finance dept and for the past month, i had to muster all my spirits just to drag myself to work. It seemed okay for the first two weeks, but as the month is coming to an end, the amount of work, instead, suddenly became far from ending. I leave office with piles of paper on my desk, and return the next day to find even more. For a temp, im already using some cheem software called ACCPAC to generate out all the listings which i have no idea what they mean. Its figures after figures. And for the last week, i heard from jiejie that the dept stayed till 11pm on avg, the latest being 1am. Thats not the worst, I saw one of her taxi claims, even zouk close shop earlier than her.
But on top of the stress and all, i learnt pretty much a great deal from my first office job. Accounting lingos like AR AP GL IRF AOP and 234815 more are not as foreign to me now, and my excel skills have, painstakingly, improved much. Softskills like being tactful of what to say to ppl, how to hong the female aunties kai xin, and of cos, the art of using tissue paper and looking for seats in that short lunch break.
Though i knew this all along, but im still very amazed that amongst the tall, modern concrete towers and buildings, lying seamlessly behind them are various japalang shophouses, eateries, hawker centers, and even temples. The more i explore, the more of such i find. And no matter how backdated they might seem, they have no problems fitting in the crowds of contemporary workforce. Its one thing that I am kinda proud of as a Sgporean.
Draw something is really fun! Reminds me of the india days where we used to play something similiar liddat on our coms. Hah!
