I am finding it awfully weird that Malaysia, the place where food is everywhere and anytime, does not have cooked turkey anywhere!
I've been looking for turkey to eat for some time now and the only time they serve it is during Thanksgiving. That's AGES away! I want it now! Turkey ham is not acceptable as it still tastes like pork ham.
Oh, that soft juicy slice of meat ripping of that huge turkey leg covered with gravy that floods the plate.
I was having fun making everyone else crave for turkey last night. Spamming them with pictures, describing the awesomeness of turkey.
If anyone knows where to find yummy turkey to eat please tell me? OR if anyone is cooking turkey at home, please invite me! XD
Anyways, I have lasted 2 months interning at KPMG. I have exactly 24 more days to endure including today. March does not have any holidays but I'll be taking leave for 1 day somewhere at the end of the month because I'm going to Redang..... with my dad...
Kinda spoils it but I really want to go there! I've never been there and besides, going with my dad means that I don't have to pay for anything. It wouldn't be THAT fun though. Atnight I'll be stuck in the room doing nothing. Why? Because my dad sleeps freaking early and I doubt he'll let me wander around alone at night in an unknown place.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to it.
TURKEY! RAWR~

Random shit
I actually really miss writting about random shit in my head. My posts are all complains! Where am I?
Bitches, I'm back!
Fucking cold here at Starbucks. Its freezing! I actually left work at 5.30pm. Waiting for my sister to come pick me up from One U. I rather pay RM10 to get a drink and abuse the free internet access at Starbucks than to stay in the office and be productive.
No wait, I was never productive.
Back to the flow..
Seriously its freaking cold here. Its like I've been soaked in a bucket of iced water and then I stood under the aircond. I can't feel my fingers! What the hell. So this is their way of making sure noone stays here too long eh? Freeze their fingers off so that they can't type shit!
Honestly, its kinda working. Drinking a cold drink ain't helping.
Before this I was sent on a mission. Buy groceries at Jusco. I was there happily taking things from the shelves.
Suddenly I realised something..
I left RM4 in my purse....
Damn, I had to put the basket of my picked out stuff somewhere near the counter, run to the nearest ATM, waste one buck on the MEPS, withdraw money, go back, find the basket (which I forgot where I had placed it) and line up to pay...
EPIC!
A kid walked in and saw me using the laptop and he was like "Dad! I should have brought my computer here to play games!"
I was like weeert??
The kid's like 6 or 7! Then he slipped on a wet floor...
HAHAHA!!!
Damn I'm mean..

The Game of Survival
Working life....
Yes, I absolutely LOATH it. I think its just my job man!
Survival tips for interns..
1. MP3/iPod. They are the only thing that will keep you sane in the office. Occasional headbanging would just look normal in the office as everyone ACTUALLY wants to hit their heads on the wall.
2. Ability to lie. Absolutely crucial in your survival. Interns get thrown all kind of work. You need the skills to pretend to be doing work. Open an excel, put on a serious face and type away on the office communicator or, like me, write a post! Occasionally look a bit lost and you'll be fine...
3. Constant vigilance! Got that from Harry Potter but its true! You don't want some manager or strict senior coming to you and catching you doing something else other than work! Ain't cool! You'll just get a nice lecture.
4. Ability to space out/pretend to be listening. When you DO get a lecture, space out and pretend to absolutely understand what the manager or senior is trying to tell you but in fact you are thinking about what to have for lunch...
5. Creativity. This is to come up with all kinds of excuses to go home early/take emergency leave/have long lunch. Example, "Its Chap Goh Meh! I have to go home early because there is a family dinner" or "I've got a family emergency. Grandpa admitted to the hospital" (both my grandfathers are dead by the way) or "The food came late"..
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the survival in KPMG...

Glued my ass to the chair
Imagine if that really happened. Damn it'll be a painful process to remove...
Anyways, I was suppose to get started on my OBU research. I have said it since 2 weeks and it has been just lying there and not progressing anywhere. I am soooooo screwed! I seriously need to get my mind to it!
Worse thing is that the laptop that I was doing the idiot project on belongs to the company. Now, the charger I think died. It wouldn't charge! Like oh my god. All my work is in that thing! I will seriously be devastated man! I'll quit my job!
Nah probably not. Even if I abso-fucking-lutely hate it. Why in the name of me did I take up accounting? Dumbass.
Putting that aside, meeting up with some old friends for Chinese New Year dinner last night was a blast! We actually gathered the same way the previous Chinese New Year! Had organic vegetarian food which was yummy! Filled our tummies up with healthy and fibrous food!
To balance out the healthy food we had, went to Dirty Nelly's, new place at DJ. If only they had that open when I was studying there. I think more students will be missing from class. I think I'll be one of them.
Wacked some beers, rum, cocktails. Nothing like hanging out with some good friends on a Saturday night...

Monday Blues~
Sometimes I wonder whether the decisions I make are just compulsive thinking. Take me deciding to start work for example. My intention was to start earning cash and then go overseas and support myself in obtaining my MBA.
Now that all seems like just a plan. Working ain't fun. I don't like my job! I don't get how someone can work with a job that they do not like. It's driving me crazy and I can't do anything because most jobs outside requires job experience of at least 1 year or 2.
Its weird the things I set out to do. I change my mind so quick its like one minute I'm eating in a fancy restaurant and the next second I'm bungee jumping off a bridge. Okay, that didn't make any sense at all but you get my point.
After only one month of working, I am rethinking the decisions that I've made. What in the world am I doing? This is not something I enjoy doing. I don't even know what I enjoy doing but I'm pretty sure what I'm doing now isn't it. I am a spoiled brat. Sad but I do admit it. I can't stand doing something that I don't like even if I need to do it in order to survive.
What do I enjoy? I love music! I love travelling! I love extreme sports!
I can't sing nor can I play musical instruments well enough...
I don't have the cash to travel all over the world visiting places I've never seen...
I can't make extreme sports a career...
So what am I to do?
If only I have the answers, life would be soooo much easier...

Complaining is part of life...
Once again, it is time for me to start complaining. I think its just human nature that we complain about almost everything and anything.
Working is horrible! I miss my lectures, heck, I miss secondary school! All those days where classes are all we had to worry about and tests. Sleeping in class was no problem and it only lasts for half a day. Tuitions are kind of fun since friends are there and all. Work is nothing like that. I am given work that I a normal associate won't even need to do and I am only an intern. Come on! I am lost and confuse most of the time and a bunch of instructions are being poured all over you. I can barely remember 3 of them. I forget, I ask and the manager goes, "How many times I need to tell you?"
She didn't really scolded me but its just not a nice feeling. I am stuck in the office, doing stuff for PPD (which I found out stands of Professional Practice Department), following up everything that seniors left for the managers to do and I am not liking it at all!
I sign up for this to get on a job! Go to a client's place and ACTUALLY audit them. Now, all I'm doing is sitting in the office, testing some software before it is launched for use. Hello? I am an ACCA student not some IT technician. I did not sign up being pain 800 bucks a month to test softwares and upload templates on to the KPMG webpage. They are sending people who are in their first year in uni (no offence) with no knowledge what-so-ever to audit clients and me (an ACCA finalist) to stay in the office doing IT stuff.
Thinking of changing departments if it is possible. Intend to talk to the HR guy and see what can be done. If there is nothing then I'll just quit and get another job somewhere else.
Enough of the ranting, which I hope will not get seen by anyone in the office, Chinese New Year holidays were a relief. Its like a break from the shit-hole I'm in. Luck this year sucks. Food is obviously, awesome. I have been eating my heart out almost everyday! Finally tuning it down today. How can you resist bak kua???
