那天，跟我老板在讨论过去一年的工作表现时，她说我是一个情绪波动很大的人，什么事都写在我脸上。我承认。她又说，或许是因为我是一个太坦白的人。。。这点，我也承认。
这也让我想到，前些日子看的一套港剧[绝代商骄]里头的一个创新“名词”-“扮”公室。意识是一个人如果要在办公室生存，首先要学会扮。这不是打扮的扮， 而是装莫作样，英文是pretend. 我在“扮”公室工作也将近十年了，也学会了不少东西。但是，我相信我永远也学不会“扮”。不过，我会尽我的一切能力，做好我的每一份工作。

勇敢
身边的人一直问我，到底喜欢怎样的人。我喜欢勇敢的人，那种勇于表达自己的人，是我最喜欢的人。
我喜欢看唱歌比赛，除了因为我爱听歌，我其实更爱参赛者的故事。每个参赛者的故事都会给我一些对人生的启示，一些对生命力的感动，一份面对人生每一个挫折的勇气。
有太多的参赛者都来自单身家庭，这教会我们每一个人都应该学会珍惜。
超级偶像的江明娟，她的妈妈在她很小的时候，离开了他们。她的每个兄弟姐妹，被分配到不同的地方长大。她的开朗，让我觉得我要用开朗和积极的态度去面对人生的每一个考验。
超级星光大道的赖铭伟和叶玮庭，他们的坦然，他们的大剌剌性格，让我觉得我要勇敢的说出我心中的看法。当然，他们的表演也让我佩服。赖铭伟的那首[阿嘛的话]让我哭了好几遍，他的那首[我要我们在一起]让我听了都很想跟他在一起。:P 叶玮庭豁达的放开，也让我知道我要学会放开，学会let go.
超级星光大道的梁文音，她的人生经验，让大家对她的故事，用自己的眼泪哭出来。她很勇敢，她对每一个考验，选择用微笑来面对，这个态度，是每一人都应该学习的。她的那首[远行]相当的感动。
每一个参赛者面对比赛的考验，都会有不一样的应对方法，但就如Roger说的，大家都会看到他们的努力。这才是最重要的，结果反而并不是重点。
最后，希望大家都会勇敢的说出自己的感觉，勇敢的面对自己的人生。

My audit life
That day, we talked about our audit life...big firm or small firm, it doesn't matter. We also made a conclusion, we don't like it when we are in the firm but when we think back, it's a life memory.
I was with a medium audit firm for 3 1/2 years. Not too long, not to short though. Life in an audit firm is easier when you are a junior...especially during off peak season. And the most happiest moment is when you go for outside audit with a group of colleagues. What is outside audit? Most of the time, auditors will work in the company as the client will send the related documents to the audit firm. But sometimes auditors will go to client office to perform the auditing work...so, this is call outside audit.
During peak season, from Jun until Aug, auditors will be very busy as most of the limited companies close their accounts in Dec (Note: company law required every limited company to submit their audited accounts plus tax computation 6 to 7 months aster they close their accounts). It's a tough time during the peak season. Sometimes, we will be asked to work until after midnight. For some people, it is a nightmare.
Although audit life is tough, but it was a fruitful memory for me..at least.

忙与盲
最近，我的生活，只能用两个字来形容，忙与盲。我曾经听过一句话，如果你觉得自己忙，没时间，那么你就永远不会有时间。也可以说，这是一个很多人研究的道理，Law of Attraction.
相信很多人都会听过这句话吧，if you think you can, you can. Law of Attraction所要表达的事如果你脑里常常想着一个事情，你将会变成那个事情。就比如，如果你常常觉得自己不会成功，那你就永远不会成功。理所当然的，善用这个道理的人，就会往好的方面想。
或许，我应该告诉自己，我不是很忙，我是在争取每一个机会。

Sad news
Today I received a sad news, my friend passed away due to complication when giving birth. She is my ex colleague, we became friend later on.
She is one of those who are quite excellent in her work place. I salute her working attitude....this is something that everyone should learn from her.
She got married in last year, everyone were happy for her. After she left our company, every time I talked to her through MSN, SMS, face to face communication, etc. She told me that she is happy with everything she have now and very satisfy. I was happy for her....until today. I still couldn't accept it, a young and nice girl like her. Her baby is still in ICU now. :(
Poh Suan, rest in peace. You will be remembered...always.

One day trip in Penang
By looking at the title, perhaps, some people will think I am crazy. (Note: I have been in Penang for 5 years) The main purpose of this trip is to bring our US business partners to travel around Penang, the second purpose is to get together with the team mates.
We started the trip at around 11 something, the first destination was Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, or Khoo Kongsi in short. Khoo Kongsi is one of the most dinctintive Chinese clan associations in Malaysia(others clans: Cheah Kongsi, Lim Kongsi etc) It is well known worldwide for its extensive lineage that can be traced back 650 years ago, as well as its closely-knit and defensive congregation of buildings and a magnificent clanhouse. Next, we proceeded to one of the temple near Khoo Kongsi.
After that, we took a walk to Little India. Little India is a colourful place which offers many specialised Indian stores and eating places. Next destination was Peranakan Mansion. The Peranakan, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of Acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Mallacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today. We had our lunch at Nyonya Cafe after the Peranakan visit. I ordered Nasi Ulam and Nutmeg water. Both were very nice.
Then, we proceeded to our next destination, Balik Pulau. The town people from Georgetown called it Pulo(浮罗) in their popular Hokkian dialect, which in Malay language it literally means island but to Penang Chinese it is the name of the Balik Pulau town. The local Hakka called it Pu-lo-san-puai, which mean the back of the hill at the place called Pulo(the island). We went for a boat ride in Balik Pulau at Pulau Betong. Pulau Betong is a small island on the southwest corner of Penang Island. It can be seen from the country road that leads to Pasir Panjang. The island is not accessible except by boat. Pulau Betong is uninhabited, safe for some fish-breeding activities conducted there. The wave was quite rough today but we had a great time. Next, we went to see paddy field. All of us like the environment there as it is very relaxing by looking at the green field. Then, we had our dinner at Hill Top. The road is very steep so we decided to hike up the hill and not driving. Anyway, is always good to have some walking. :) The night view from the Hill Top is very nice and this is one of the famous stop in Penang. We end the trip around 9 something.
Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my penang friends for bringing me to travel around Penang. I really had a wonderful day. And...Tate and Janet, hope you guys enjoy the day.

Facebook, some people refer it with 面书, direct translate from facebook. Nowadays, I guess most young people will have facebook account. It is a social network, millions of people using it as a means of making new friends. My initial intention of opening up a facebook account is that most of my friends asked me to open up so that we can keep in touch with each other.
I would like to thanks to the inventor of facebook. I have found back some of my friends who have lost contact after high school. Now, they are in my friends list, we can share things with each other even though we are far apart due to personal commitment.
