Updates....


I have already started out in the new firm for more than a month. And like my years in Deloitte, I am always early to work (just to avoid the traffic and because I dun like to be late). Some of my new colleagues are also as early as I am or even earlier. But I can hardly believe that some partners are as early as us too and they are also very courteous.

For the last 2 months, I have less workload. Guess it's because the peak will only start in the coming month and the changes of structure within the firm. During this time and even now..I am trying to learn and get the best out from the new audit software. I am not sure why I still cannot used the tools well. Wondering if the tools sucks or I lack exposure/experience using it (I have only get the chance to used part of the tools for one of the engagement…haha.. and I have only started to used more recently) and even maybe I compare too much with Deloitte’s software. I hope that I will get used to the system and be master of it. 

Oh yeah.. I will always walk by Starbucks whenever I go to the office and I will usually be tempted to get myself a nice cup of coffee. Alternatively, I will make a cup of coffee in my office.

Well.. the people and the firm had treat me and other newbies well…. by giving us time to adjust (we have been provided with training.. guess we will only need more real experience in using the tools) and also taking time to know bout us.. the newbies in Mazars. So, I want to love Mazars the way I have for Deloitte.

I have attached photos of my new colleagues during the recent gathering held in our adviser's home before signing off.... A nice place and gathering time for us

안녕 그리고 안녕

It had been some time since I last blog... 

I finally bid farewell to Deloitte Ipoh, the firm that nurture and also plant the seed of love and passion for auditing in me. The last 6 years have been an incredible experience for me. Despite the heavy workload and not to mention, the needs to study and revise for my examination, I will never forget the great time I had working with great and wonderful people that had guide and train me. 

I am a very greedy girl. I wanted much more. I wanted to leave to gain more experience and also to see what the future hold for me outside my very comfortable hometown. With a heavy heart and also fear, I told those who had guided me that I will leave. I was very sad because they are not just my bosses... but they are very much like my family. But I have to choose and so I leave.

After having a long break (I think I deserved that rest), I am finally back to work in audit line. Haha

Honestly, when the firm hired me.. I am pretty worried. I do not know this firm, the people and their environment. I am also very new to the country. I am worried that I will not be able to fit in well. And the fact that I will be apart from my family which I am very very close with, make me even nervous. I told my parents and grandma that I will be fine.. yet.. back then I was pretty scared myself. But I am the one that have chosen this path. 

So, trusting God will continue to guide and watch over me, I came to SG. It's been a month and I am adapting okay.

I will update my blog more frequent since I am alone in this new land
