It's been a while

It's been a while since I posted anything here. I have to say that it's been a very long few months for me. Been working almost every weekend since Chinese New Year ended. Not that I'm complaining but it's a little ridiculous to ask that from an intern who's paid RM800 per month.

So far, I've completed 5 months of my internship with 1 month to go. Looking forward to the day I have to leave Ernst & Young so that I have no more work to do. On the flip side, it really saddens me to leave the company because of the people I have met there since I started my internship. The things that they have taught me, the things that I've learned and all the good and not-so-good times together really made me feel the sense of kinship with the people there.

Most importantly, the people there are so willing to lend help to me even though they have bigger problems of their own to solve. Anytime that I requested for help, they would always drop anything that they're doing and teach me how to do them first before continuing with what they're doing. I'm not sure about what the other companies are practising culturally but I really like the people in my department.

This is aside from my pretty manager :P I have to admit that my department doesn't have as many hot chicks as the Assurance division. The division itself boasts of the most number of hot chicks. And rumours has it that EY has the most number of hot chicks among the Big 4 accounting firms. I'm not sure how true this is but at least there is some truth to it. Too bad I'm with the IT Risk & Assurance team which is doing more of IT work (which also means more guys and less girls)

As it is, I was just thinking of starting a small business in my hometown and taking it off from there. On the flip side, another plan that I'm thinking about is to relocate to Singapore where all the job opportunities are and try to reposition myself in the Banking industry. I have to admit that being an Accounting student, I have a personal preference to be in the Banking sector. This is partly due to my strong interest in numbers instead of laws

My only hope is to be able to be in Singapore at one of the investment banks. It would be a very enriching experience for me but I doubt if I can make it. My current grades are not that great considering that my university isn't a particularly great university either. Fingers-crossed, I can get a decent job in Singapore
