Playtime... Break...

Finally, i'm on break this weekend... Saturday night, went to old airport road for supper cos it closing... When to pick my cousin's friend at lucky plaza... And we went round HMV and Taka 2 times... I think the people at balcony r going this 2 people in the car have been going round few times most probably lost their way... Cos he keep taking the wrong lane so we ended up at the same place... Finally, we took the right one and off we went to pick his friend... Then we got lost again and got onto the expressway to East coast park... When we were at the traffic lights turning between gateway and suntec its red light then we were like i think we are on the wrong road... This happen the last time we went to geylang from blastier anyway don't know how to spell then got 3 roads one to cte which is not right and 2 others we were at the very left when we stop and both of us went i think this road isn't right and we quickly reverse into the other road luckily it was red light behind so there wasn't any car coming... We met with road block at AMK when we were returning... First time at road block... Sunday, met Xinyi, Rain and Liwen... We went for taiwan porridge at suntec then we walk carrefour, milenia walk, marina square and ended up at bugis... Finally ended home at 9 plus... Manage to get IRAS form of a company of 18 people done before heading to bed cos i been putting them off since sat cos i went out to play...

Week... Learning...

Accounts: Finish a set of sole proprietor... Now doing a private limited... This co pay people without recording, the claims by employee and gst so messy...

HR: I learnt how to calculate unpaid leave... Its to take ur basic pay times 12 divide by 52 weeks times 5 days... Perm staff got 1 yrs to clear the leave then its forfeited... Updating the addresses of my co got 2000 over people... The china ones keep changing their address some even gave china address in chinese... But i grow another interest in picking up the phone cos i and a girl sitting behind share the same extension and so i keep myself entertain by picking up the phone... The minstry doesn't allow both husband and wife to hold work permit in singapore... So there are some weird people who write themselves married then single now and what more they claim marriage leave or maternity leave so too bad for them they are staying married... Those that don't claim can be changed to single... I came across this lady who wrote herself widowed then now married... Don't even know if her husband is alive... Haha... Some people write their qualifications wrong like last time was higher now lower weird don't how come can go backwards... I came across a name called shy shy so cute the name...

I think i am more inclined to numbers or i am born to see numbers... I seems to be more alert when dealing with numbers rather then words which are putting me to sleep... After a day at office, i can still go back home and do accounts... After 2 days, i am done with 12 month of sales entry... Got to start to key payments then my mum say this set is done sounds so simple... Keying Amex transaction is troublesome with the visa charges... This sole proprietor never keep the papers properly... I can only find all the UOB ones which is 2% but for Amex some are missing i ended up calculation the % and got 3.1% and whenever i got Amex which have few each month i got to calculate back to the sales...

I am taught to update new hire profile and its so mah fan that i am so fed up with it... I don't know which person is direct and indirect, got allowance or no allowance, exempt or non exempt... So when the person teaching me ask me is it ok then i told her straight can i not do this its too mah fan... Then she told me they are all exempt and indirect making my job simpler then to think which category they belongs too but as if i care...

Then i got to update employees information spend half a day and my hand very suan and i only manage to update less then 200 people and in total there are many many more... Like 2000 over people... These stupid china people keep changing their address... I ask why the company won't just give them lodging then won't have to change...

Now i also know that as Chinese we contribute to CDAC every month 0.50/1 dollar muslim got to contribute 3- 8 dollars with a max of 11 dollars then eurasian have to contribute 8 dollars... I can't remember Indians... Our IT guy who is chinese is trying to get out of contributing to CDAC... PRs contribute 12% cpf for the 1st yr and 15% on the 2nd then subsequently is the same as us singaporean which is 20%...

Evaluation week...

HR everything also have to keep confidential so mah fan... I guess i am not cut out for HR... So quiet i gonna die liao... Very weird one, i want to get a sales job cos i was thinking since i am young i should try and know more people and if i were to start my biz later i got some sales experience... I ended in a HR job which was what i wanted when i returned from australia haha...

Spend a day sitting there... He says that like i am here today his business is better hahaha...

After that, we went to geylang to eat supper... Its so funny, both of us don't know the way from blastier and this road split into 3 with one stated cte AMK so its wrong but the other 2 never write we chose the furthers which write moulmein road but after stopping cos its red light... 6 sense tells us that its not right and we both said at the same time that i think its the other one... Lucky, the back traffic light is red so we faster reverse and change lane to the other so funny... After 2 rounds at geylang, we can't find the place... I ask him if its this one and he says there is another one... But after another run he says its this one... We were thinking to see chicks after supper but we turn into a very cramp dead end and we weren't the only dumb ones cos a few other cars also came in... We finally saw some after going 2/3 rounds... Before returning, we headed Bishan park and found that the bicycle rental has turned into pub/ billard area... So long never go there le... Kaisheng can't swing high and i laugh at him must be too heavy haha...

Tuesday, I have no idea...

Wednesday, i went to Chinatown for an interview... I found that i have 2 other friends who went there for interview before but never took up the job so i guess its not that good but the time that they went it was under another company name... I met a girl who studied Psychology by distance learning in sg from another uni in Queensland... I found that as long as i find something similar i can talk to anyone... We talked along the way to find Avocado drink then she went to take photos around while i went to get my avocado drink... But to my disappointment, its open but there wasn't any avocado available... I made another batch of pork floss roll...

Thursday, Mummy came back during lunch... I went to lunch with her and we went NTUC to buy some things...

Friday, busy day... I got up early today... Firstly, i need to get the housework all done before 1 pm so that i can go to Taka to collect the cheese pineapple tarts that we order at 1 pm after which i got to have them send to my mum's office... Cheese pineapple tarts was quite nice... After that, i went to change aussie dollars for my mum... Today, my maths turn out quite good... I went to ask the rate and the 1st said 1.235 = 1 aussie and another 2 is 1.24... So i went to the first and change but she said she got not enough its 100 lagging of the amount i want to change and ask me to come back 1/2 hr later... Then i thought the diff is gonna be 0.50 cents only why should i wait for 1/2 hr and went to the other shop and change...

Saturday, few days ago my dad was very funny i told him i want to boil soup and wanted carrots and know what... He got me only 1 carrot so little... So i went to buy a bag of carrots... Cos i was thinking to make ABC soup which contains potatoes, carrot and tomatoes and another white raddish and carrot soup... One other thing he forgot to get me potatoes... I think if he gonna get most probably he will get me 2 potatoes bah :P ... After very very last minute clearing we went for dinner...

After dinner, we headed to River Ang Bao... My little 13 yr old cousin was very cute... She went to read her horoscope and told me that she has low morale in studies then forget to see this and that and we keep returning to the place to see... She says her peach blossoms gonna open in may... So i tease her that u see so much peach blossoms that's why ur studies morale so low... hahaha...

She bought the i weekly and can practically remember all the good and bad about horoscopes seeing her is like seeing a mirror... When i was her age, i was also interested in all this stuff esp. buying magazines i kept so many of them but eventually i also threw them away though i still have some left in my last room of the house which is also cum storeroom...
