CNY wasnt that bad afterall... Maybe cos i am blessed with 2 aunties here..
We had reunion dinner on sat... yummy steamboat!!!
Played Mahjong till 1230am cos we werent supposed to sleep. Chinese saying, we should sleep past 12 to bless our parents with longevity...
CNY Day 1: Went to church early... After church came back home for lunch, played Dai Dee and more Mahjong!!!

hahaha... being chinese, we gamble all day long... ok lahs, didnt lose that much...

Although i know the CNY spirits arent as festive as my famiy celebrating in singapore, but nonetheless, i feel really fortunate to be blessed with 2 auntys here who would cook and celebrate with me..

Lottas church events coming up!!! There's CNY dinner tonight for our cell... Looking after my baby kaitlyn and renee tml, Mamak Nite tml, Freshies 2 weekend from now...

Been really bored at work today... Work ever since i change to the bright side was really good... We went for a breakfast yesterday (7am) at Burswood Grand Ballroom, and i must say the presentation was AWESOME!! Had an Income Tax course yesterday which will last for the next 16weeks... thats bad though... The teacher is horrible!!! She teaches us as though we are in high skol!!! "EVERYONE, PLS DO YOUR HOMEWORK, AND I WILL COLLECT IT RANDOMLY FROM YOU GUYS... IF YOU DONT DO YOUR HOMEWORK, WELL... IM NOT YOUR MUM" blah blah blah...

Been talking to a colleague. and we were discussing how studies doesnt end even though u graduated from Uni with a degree... She feels pressurised by the directors asking her when she's going to do CPA and stuff... but she's not ready to comit into that yet... yeah, CPA is a never turning bad thing... once u start, u cant back out.. u must go on till u complete it... which is rougly 3 1/2yrs in total...

Studies and more studies~ hai~ now, am looking for house somemore... am not going to stay at aunty's house anymore... mans, no more nice food... *cries*

New skin, new look... Really liked the skin, and the thing was, i managed to do it MYSELF..!!!
Not that i designed it myself of cos, i took it from Blogskins, but i managed to update it myself without much difficulty hey? the only thing was the tagboard disappeared to somewhere... hai~ am still waiting for gracie to check where my tagboard disappeared to....

Sigh, another 2 days is CNY Eve le... People in singapore will all be going to Chinatown, having reunion dinner with their extended families and stuff....
ME??? poor me... all alone here in perth, stil have to work somemore... but lucky thing is that im blessed with 2 aunties who would still prepare steamboat for me and give me angbao!!! *hiak*

Work's been pretty good... for the 1st time, im actually smiling and loving my job so much that i dont mind staying longer to work, and sacrificing my lunch hour to work as well... Boss's pretty nice, asked if i wanted tix to watch AFL and go Rottnest for free and accommodation included somemore as well... *hiak* will think about it lahs..

Man, i just got the payment for my car insurance... its $700. That is alrite, the bad thing is, the excess that i have to pay in case i get into an accident is super alot mans, cos of the accident i had last yr... i have to pay $1,350 if i claim anything this year... so shall be a good girl and drive carefully... guess thats the only good thing mans...

Dearie just finished his exams... Really scared me cos his paper was supposed to end at 3, but he called me at 230pm... so its either good or bad news... turns out to be VERY GOOD NEWS!!! he didnt expect himself to do so fast, and he thinks he can get Distinction... smart aleck... its because all of us had been praying for u around the clock u smug boy..

Yeah, so will be going shopping with him later... probs garden city... go and visit my dear saemi and get some cheap stuff from her korean shop!!! nice stuff, but over the price kind.. and she promised she will give me a discount on stuff!!! hehee...

So yeah, till then!!!

I cannot believe what i just did yesterday... m so proud of myself...
I finally pluck up the courage to tell my Financial Planning boss i want out of Tax...
Have been struggling so hard to do that, but i really am so happy that i finally told him and got it off my chest.

I didnt tell him its because of that bitch that caused me so much misery...
Because of that bitch,
I cried because i was afraid to go to work
I cried because of her when she forced me to work till 630pm when i was here for the 3rd week
I cried because i never felt so terirble being an asian
I cried because i hated myself

At long last, im free!!! ha!!! am so impressed with myself when i told my FP boss i want out of tax
He looked at me and asked me why
And i said "its my choice... i dont want to do tax anymore... i do have interest in tax, just that, i dont want to do it anymore"
It was quite bad when i said that, cos i really wanted to cry... i held back my tears, and i tink he saw it... so he said ok... calm down..

And finally!!! he said... i wanted you to become a full time financial planner long time ago... and now u finally said it out yourself, thats good.

Later on, went to talk to that 2 faced bitch manager... 1st she said she was impressed with my work, in fron of my boss of cos
Next she said that she felt that i was learning slower as compared to the other grads, maybe cos im doing FP and Tax
But o well, heck care... the directors really liked me for my performance in tax during my review, they said that i learnt fast and grasp the meaning faster than the rest of the grads.. that 2 faced bitch is born racist... so i cannot be bothered with her..

what for???

SO now, im free!!! hehee..!!! m so happy... i came to work today smiling... havent been smiling for the past 5mths at work... and now, i finally feel FREE!!
Im still doing my CPA, and also going to pursue if possible, my CFA... trying to get qualifications to cover up my lousy Bachelor's degree..
Hopefully m able to do it...

Thank you God..

i dont know where should i head to...
Should i leave perth and try starting anew in Melbourne?
Or should i return to Singapore???

Am so confused... i like melbourne... me and alvin really enjoyed melbourne so much, we were thinking of moving there after he graduates... who knows? he might get a job there, and i will follow him there.. there's just so much things to do in melbourne... the lifestyle is quite similar to singapore, which is a plus point...
and we were discussing... during our break, we can drive to the surfing town Torquay, or just go Skiling in the mountains...

+ points of Melbourne:
Good environment to work
Place where me and alvin loves and can see future in
Not much change of living expenses as compared to Perth
BIG PLUS POINT - Better job opportunities

- points of Melbourne:
No friends
Need to start anew
Starting up is not an easy task
Not able to rise in position
BIG MINUS POINT - Being chinese, is never easy in Australia

The other choice, and a more "returning to our comfort zone" choice is of cos going back to Singapore.

+ points of Singapore:
Our friends and families are all back in singapore
Ability to rise in positions faster as compared to australia
the living expenses are lower, cos we dont need to rent a place, and food is so much cheaper
BIG PLUS POINT - ITS OUR HOME

- points of Singapore:
The pay will be lower as compared to australia
lifestyle more hectic
terrible working hours
competitive people
BIG MINUS POINT - THE PEOPLE

Seems weird.. but everytime i go back to sg, it takes a long time for me to get adapted to the environment... Living in perth for the past 5yrs has really changed me heys?

O well... any opinions??? no matter what, me and alvin would not be living in Perth, and thats for sure. its either melbourne or singapore...
