Back in the Singapura.....

That's right punks, i'm back, and livin' it! Well, considering the fact that i'm trying to tone down the alchohol consumption a notch, not much drinking will be done while i'm back, so entertainment will come in more subtle forms. Such as, meeting up with old friends and chatting, playing my 360 to the max, playing soccer, eating as much of the finer things in life as possible and plain and simple relaxation. Forward to reality, not much of this has happend yet. I, as previously stated, started my job at my accounting tution teacher's account's firm on Monday. Work starts at 08:30 till 18:oo. Not bad considering that my previous job lasted from 13:00 to 02:00. And it consisted of hard labour. Well, my job consists mainly of testing accounts for accuracy and casting, or matching balances. Although it doesn't sound much, it usually takes me one day to complete these tasks, which mean i go through 1 firm a day. Rather painstaking and tedious work, not to mention repetitive as hell. You have to sift through piles of invoices to match them with the recorded information in the general ledger. Sales testing is relatively straight forward, that is if the accountant who prepared the information is rather competent and organised, and if he isn't, well good luck to you. As i have encountered once (and hopefully only) an extremely disorganised set of accounts will take you a much longer time to test. In fact it took me twice as long. (to be more detailed, what i am doing now is not accounting per se, but auditing, which is part of accounting, on a more advanced level of course, you usually learn this in year 3 of university) Purchase testing is the hard one. And extremely tedious. I won't bother elaborating anymore as it is utterly boring. All in all rather reasonable work. (i most definitely won't state how much i'm getting paid here.....) So thats how the first week of my holidays has passed for, work from 0830-1800 everday, i had dinner with Naren, Neeraj and Gomez followed by some late night LAN on tuesday. And dinner with Nyh and Brendan at Swensen's Plaza Singapura on wednesday (where we spent a rather exorbitant amount). Nothing much planned out for the rest of the week, some shopping perhaps followed by soccer on sunday. No wild parting or anything of that sort for now, just simple relaxation.....oh ya, Brendan enlists for National Service (NS) this friday.....take care you drunk nut, and try not to hose the wrong person.
