Haha my mood today. Can't believe I'm blogging omw home (and I'm gna alight at my stop soon) But I guess I just need an avenue to rant it out!
Heh chill, not about anyone but I think it's just me inducing stress on myself.. Again! Been awhile since I had this #superstresseduntilwnacry so guess that's why I feel so choked up.
Saying this cause it's only the start of the work week but I'm like drowning in work, like literally! Not sure if I didn't plan my timelines well or I just simply forgot the need to budget time that things will drag.. Or I plan and budget already but everything still came back at the same time. The past (and the following weeks) are going to be pretty crazy!! Ok la, I totally deserved it in a way when I was complaining about not being busy.
Last week felt like the 2015 peak again, literally stayed every single day with only 2-3h of sleep :( and leaving office at 4ish in the morning (it can't beat the nights staying up to OT but the difference is having to wake up for work the next morn haha) thankfully Friday was not as bad and I got to drink awesome soju (which also indirectly caused the fatigue cause I was trying super hard not to show that I was dizzy after two cups!) And Emz mentioned she can finally feel that I was not stressed on Sat evening when I went to office cause.. #thenuaisreal!!!
Only to dai late in the night on Sat till Mon! Can't rmb how many times I dozed off while trying to do work! And I still got bombed today cause of client meetings and the need to complete one memo tonight (it's already 11 btw!!) I think I need to stay in my own room to live in seclusion for the next few hours while I rush out my work with limited wifi access liao.
Sighs. I need to stay focused foe the next few hours.. And for the rest of the week! But no still gna have dinner with Kary and Weishan tmr!!! #ineedmylife
Sidenote, Bryan was asking the housemates where this was taken..
Cause it was uploaded by yours truly without knowing how to geotag HAHA. But yay I managed to find the place in Taitung!! Ok la my memory didn't fail me too badly cause I remembered renting bikes to cycle around the park! Just that I cannot rmb the exact place where we parked the car (which got into a terrible mess when we tried to drive on the 🗻 route. :S
Actually the main reason for logging today was.. To note what I just watched!
Sounds like I'm damn free, but no. Not this week at least. Supposed to work over the night but after seeing the breakout.. Nope. Not going to stress myself tonight.
Was waiting to watch the repeat episode of my 9pm HK drama, afterwhich I chanced upon this Korean movie which I ended up watching till 4 plus in the morning. So for me to forgo sleep and work for this it should be quite awesome la. #justsaying
Anyway... It's called "The Crucible" / "Silenced", and it's stars Gong Yoo. I wouldn't deny that I switched to that channel cause of him but the story was good too!
(I'm too lazy to post the poster/plot cause it's difficult to do these on the phone)
Wasn't expecting it to be based on a true story (it's on Wiki) But wow it does reflects a lot about reality and how it's not as nice/wonderful/peaceful as we'd expect. Something to note in life lol.
That aside, this few weeks will be bad (after not having much work as compared to last time). Good in a sense that I have the hours to try hitting my KPI but oh wells I cannot expect much also given how rough the past year have been! Not gonna push the blame on luck but the only way is to work harder. Times are bad that I don't think I can just job hop in my field (and currently I still like my job), noting how some of my friends have yet to secure employment in their final semester :/
Just a random thought. Time to catch a quick sleep before a long day tomorrow working from home before/after yoga. Cannot man I'm literally expanding horizontally I myself can't even... :(
Edits: OHMY. This was last saved on 07/04/2015?!?! I can't remember if it was in April.. Sighs two years passed too quickly and I still have no time to update it!!
I'll just post whatever that's saved last time! Good ol'times :) and I can forget about blogging alishan/hualien/taitung and all of my grad trips cause I don't think I can remember the details and photos are probably stored somewhere in the laptop so I'll find time.. Somehow! Maybe I'll post the photos in chronological order heheh.
Too busy till I don't think I've logged in for damn long, though I did Dayre-d quite abit here and there till mid last year when I realised it's not a good thing if it can be easily searched on the Web. Lol.
Shall update another timeeee! **** (finally back to continue my posts! Been long but well I really want to finish up before work gets super busy and I still want to try doing Korea/TW grad trip.. think of skipping Alishan / Hualien & Taitung also ooops)
DAY 3: 新北投 / 淡水 / 漁人碼頭
The day with the least places to visit hehe :) Actually not very short day but well should be short enough to keep everything to a post.
Yup the day when we decided to visit the hot springs cause it was recommended by many, including clubber Yang who highly recommended it but for ladies just be careful lor, cause got a lot of old uncles who will be looking at you when you go to those public ones.
Hehehe so.. 新北投 bound!
Not very sure of the route there but well still tried to find our way around! Super sunny day I remembered but it was slowly becoming colder so at least won't sweat a lot!
Went into this museum around the area where we have to remove our shoes and walk around the old hot springs used in the past.
Sighpie it's already near the end of April!!!! Been super busy, and now I realised I've never set any goals for myself this year yet.. (and not anytime soon).
Feeling very meh this week cause I've got too much work and somehow cannot copeeeee.
And feeling bad cause I submitted my work to one senior, who told me he did almost the opposite when he was reviewing :(
This is me now. At 330am
.
And maybe after a while I'll be less nuaaaaa. Sighhhh
Finally had time to even log in my personal laptop. Been less busy after December.. or maybe not? Haha thought for once I'd be off-peak after December but My January and February seemed to pass so quickly without knowing. It's already March :(
Feels like I have yet to meet any of my own personal goals. I think I've also yet to set aside time to do my mid-year review oops. Planned to strike out some of the items on my to-do list, like....
1. Cleaning up my room
2. Exercise daily
3. Sleep early and have enough rest
4. Try to avoid work, as much as possible.
5 Watch a bit of drama :D
But hmm... Seems like nothing is working out. Planned to take 26th -4th off to do all of these, but I cancelled my leave on 26th because there is simply too many things that I have yet to clear (sucks to be slow) but somehow I realised I did not have time to do a proper handover of projects and I actually have work that was quite urgent (not sure if it is really that urgent but seems like it) and so I don't think I will really be enjoying my break.
Thus far, I don't think I have accomplished much - both personal and work wise. Tried to take my weekends off - been trying a few weeks but somehow I'll always end up working on Sunday nights when I realised that I have yet to clear some stuff. Did the same on Sunday too - trying to email seniors managers on the work status as well as any updates. Tried to do a bit of reading up for a client so that I can get wok done over the week, until I realised that I was supposed to be on leave. So I kinda ended up watching my drama ooops. Happened over the past few days as well, except that I get to wake up a lot later because my head really spins from the lack of sleep.
Been waking up close to noon, and I'll tell myself that I should do work before enjoying my day but somehow it did not work out. Like I will end up watching my drama or reading recaps.. anything but doing work. And when I finally decided that I should work, it will be too late in the night that I can feel my brain shutting down. Well I guess this is why most people say that it's very difficult to get the momentum going once I go on a long break - except that I am still in Singapore and that I will keep checking my emails to make sure that things don't screw up because I am away (like my work, client emails, etc). Cannot imagine how bad I will procrastinate over the week but I definitely need to clear some work over the weekends considering how packed I am next week. Tax town hall + chalet on Friday, chalet with Weishan and co on Saturday, and date with Michelle on Sunday. Really hoping that I don't have to miss these for work!
Other than that...
I've yet to clean my own room. HAHAHA forget it this is my failed plan every year. But at least I've been trying to exercise. Like y'know, work really makes people fat. And the fact that I prioritise my work over exercise contributed to my fats sighsssss. Also hoping that daily exercise can help to keep my migraine away! Though it is not exactly working before I haven't been sleeping early at all. Like I really work late at night instead of trying to clear things in the day. Point 4.. hahaha ultimate fail. Just hoping today is the only day when I don't have to do any work.
As for point 5.. YESS :D Hahahah realised that I had ct my TV time significantly over the 6 months. Decide to catch Cheese in the trap cause I caught the first 2 episodes on TV and my aunts were saying that it s a good show! Really enjoyed the show, except the last few episodes. But overall it was a good show! Cannot imagine me catching up with 14 episodes by Monday and finishing the series today (yup it just ended yesterday night). Even watched the RAW version in Korean before the subs were out! And read a bit of the original webtoon. Guess this is the only time when I feel that I am still a teenager. Hehe love this OST since yesterday:
Okay shall spend some quality time with mum today - hopefully nothing urgent crops up like my past 2 short breaks!!
Would be quite funny to say that my mum and I wanted to get out of Singapore during this period but kinda failed because.. both of us cannot leave our laptops for a day, and my dad forbids :X
Guess my mum is not enjoying her break at all - Especially when she spends more time infront of the laptop than I do. Which I realised that we are the same - slaves for work. Hahaha. But I am definitely more lazy. Hopefully this is not apparent in my work though.
Anyw, read the post about My Sister Bakes, and kinda got me thinking if I should be pursuing what I like than to work my life away. Cause afterall, I started work when I was still 21. And it was shortly after I graduated. Wondered if I have accomplished things that I wanted to do when I'm still young...But I guess that should come in later since I have already applied for ISCA. 3 years more ooops.
Wheee part 2 of my previous post is still in draft hahaha lazydebz has been really lazy lately and actually....
I'm scared I'll be super lazy and nua for the next few weeks omg.
But anyw Christmas this year feels so different, was wondering is it because..
- I'm in the working world
- I'm celebrating it in Singapore
- Not everyone is present
Hahaha seems like working makes alot of difference. Like last time I always uad time to prepare for Christmas. Like do some gift shopping and wrapping. Spend some time out at least. Last year was slightly different cause I was in Kaohsiung and there's no Christmas culture there. But this year... Christmas didn't really felt like Christmas even up till the Eve itself. Must have been busy with work and not spending much time out to relax.. Hmmmm.
Hahaha that being said, celebrating in Singapore VS celebrating in Taiwan felt pretty much the same LOL. No Christmas feel and less presents over the years! Miss those times when we would gather to open our presents. For the past 3 years it's at my granduncle's place so it feels weird that we're not hosting for such celebrations anymore. (Maybe cause we are all grown ups also haha nothing to entertain kids)
And godsis didn't celebrate w me this year!!! Last year she came over, this year I'd be celebrating it with her in Korea if I agreed to join them last minute haha. But oh wells, next time kays!!! Still missing Korea and Taiwan since June!!!!
(oh right, for the first time in a looong while, I'm celebrating the new year in SG!)
But anyw Christmas was somewhat spent w people I love so it's okay!!! VHG X FAMILY. Only sad thing was that I didn't get to visit winter Wonderland yet!
Pics up!!!
Christmas eve - k session / ice cream / Xmas party
My head was itchy HAHAHAHAHA.
Christmas: VHG / last lunch w Chels before she flies!!
Snippets from SC!!
Fave. Missing Joyce who overslept. And I guess our only successful date was the one the week before. Lol!!!
Ramen w the famz when we decided not to go for GBTB!
WAHAHA I finally had time to update. Like finally.
Peak is sort of over. Or rather, the official peak for corporate tax ended on 15 Dec, so by right TP's peak should have ended by then too because of the contemporaneous documentation requirement! But in reality...
Nope. Not really. We're still taking in work for FY2014 so it seems like we're still busy, but definitely less busy on my side!! And I took leave from 16th-18th once the leave block is lifted to rest. Like my main aim is just to... Sleep in and wake up late. I don't expect myself to be totally off from work, but as much as possible I want to avoid doing work! My seniors were saying that I should've taken a longer break and go overseas, if not we confirm will still use the laptop to do some form of work. Lol sadded :(
But okay laaaa, not much work to do except one write up after my client meeting on Tues! Thankfully my manager understood that I was going on leave so he didn't ask for it soon - we initially wanted to hold it aft my leave hehe. But I need to start asking for work soon if not I'll be too free at times and it's not good especially when round table is coming soon. Asked one senior manager how is it like though I know it's not as nice as I expected. But oh well I do hope everything goes well though. I don't need exemplary ratings or feedbacks but definitely not mean comments that were not communicated to me directly but only on the round table. Yknow, it feels abit like betrayal but sadly life's like that and there's nothing we can do. No power so just... Keep it to ourselves ba.
But this was indeed a crazy peak. Stayed till 4am in the office before, went back to office over the weekends (and stayed past 12 a few times), one week non stop cabbing aft work, not sleeping for one night cause I felt bad for not rushing something out that I couldn't sleep, bathed in the office and changed to my sleepwear (LOL totally feeling like I'm home please), stressed out at wee hours in the morning like how I felt like breaking down when I stayed up to study cause I did nothing much the whole day (not productive), etc. Thankfully there were nice colleagues with were encouraging despite having to review my work which I felt was not up to standard sometimes.. And also to our fellow batchmates!! Glad we supported each other throughout :):)
Kinda lost track what happened during the 3 months.. Not sure if I talked about how I spent my 22nd at work HAHA. Probably on Dayre, but well just brief updates!
- EY DND 2015
First corporate DnD!! Hahah wondering if I'm fated to alw do such stuff - when I was an intern we got arrowed to do cheer dancing; this year as a tax associate we have to perform! Actually most associates have to but for tax, we all have to participate in various roles. But okay la, I only get to do it once only :P shall post some pics for that night!
Collage for the night!! With colleagues and fellow NTU friends if you can spot them! :)
Photo w my female batchies during the break before the actual dinner!! :):)
Shall upload our video one day! Thoight ours was good; if not because we exceeded the time limit haha. But oh wells! After-party was fun too! Just jumping ard the stage instead of a club - just shiok enough to forget about work stress!! :) sad thing is, cannot claim cab woops!
- Teoheng KTV!
Teoheng KTV on the very next day - we must have been crazy HAHA. But yay weekend well spent away from work! People came and left at diff timing and this was taken at some point LOL. Missing quite a few here.
- Birthday celebrations!
Wasn't expecting much for my 22nd cause it's not like any other milestones and it's peak and me haz no friends during peak but oh well, I was pleasantly surprised on many occasions!
Celebration #1 was with le godsis & Jeremy aft my KTV session!! Made reservations at Platypus - good food, good company, good service. And thanks for the treat fave sis!! *hugs*
Celebration #2 was in office for the October babies and I missed it cause I was out for dinner HAHAHAHAHA. But I got a cake, just no birthday photo :)
Celebrations #3, #4, #5 were on the actual day itself! The batchmates bought a slice of cake :) Hahaha but I couldn't eat it cause it was aft lunch so we shared it on the next day!
#4 was with Germ and Eugene! Quite funny cause Germ was asking when I will be free to claim my free dinner for passing him my tax cheatsheet :P And it ended up on the day itself because I had nothing planned haha. Thanks for the treat Germ! (think he paid Eugene's share as well) And thanks for coming all the way down to satisfy my cravings!
#5 was ofc, at homeeeee :) cheesecake yums ^^
#6 was with Michie who came to my office area to treat me to dinner!!! Thankyou sweetest exroomie :):)
#7 was with the hall loomies hehe. It's more like just a catchup but thanks for the dessert treat Weishan, 不愧是我的best roomie!
#8 was the gift from uni batchmates :):) super pretty I cannot! Thanks guys and girls!!!
- Meetups!!
With the alishanktvpeeps, though I only sang for 20 mins LOLOL.
And w my pretty ladies for Our Times! :)
- Grandpa's birthday!
Hehehe glad I didn't miss it this year!! Thou I was rushing work at home. :X
- Matt's farewell
Fast forward a lil, it was Matt's farewell!! Hope you had fun in sg for the past three months!! And helping us out during peak :)
- SHUBIN IS BACK!
That's right! Le petite friend is back from UK!!! And she only met me after a month since she came back tsktsk!!! As usual no photos of her lest she kills me!! So yup just food and Christmas decos :):)
Shall be continued in the next post. Need to sleep omg 2 days of my leave just passed like that. Boooooo :(
Work is shit (just like how Michie says audit is shit too hehehe).
Work is depressing.
Which is why I find that my work is hard to understand. (still not a report person sigh)
Sigh my workload is abit crazy (but it's nothing compared to some people's), and peak is not ending soon either...
And I'm so slow with my work, I OT till late but I don't dare to charge. Sighhhh they say we should charge all the hours we spent but... Too many hours being reflected is not good also right. Chargeability VS efficiency.
Feeling terribly shitty cause I received my work on Monday but my senior had to rush it out instead cause the other party sent a chaser email 2 days later..like whutttt. I was planning to clear it over this weekend one lor. Cause still need to understand what I'm supposed to report on. Sighhhh and I'm too drained today that I don't wna OT past 12 again. :( felt sooooo bad leaving my senior to do the work but I'm not being useful if I stayed there either.
Boooooo. And I'm so scared of the deadlines coming, arghhhhh. If I knew it'd be this bad, I'd have rested more before peak mehhhh.
But okay. Gna reach home close to 12, seems like I wasted another day :(
NOOOO. Omg I really really hate this feeling. Sigh, totally no mood now. I know people are nice but I cannot believe I'm just so careless again, and it doesn't help that I found out about this myself and rectified everything.
Noooo debs please be less careless! Thought it would only happen once last year :( emo nemooooooo T_T

And godsis didn't celebrate w me this year!!! Last year she came over, this year I'd be celebrating it with her in Korea if I agreed to join them last minute haha. But oh wells, next time kays!!! Still missing Korea and Taiwan since June!!!!
(oh right, for the first time in a looong while, I'm celebrating the new year in SG!)
But anyw Christmas was somewhat spent w people I love so it's okay!!! VHG X FAMILY. Only sad thing was that I didn't get to visit winter Wonderland yet!
Pics up!!!
Christmas eve - k session / ice cream / Xmas party
My head was itchy HAHAHAHAHA.
Christmas: VHG / last lunch w Chels before she flies!!
Snippets from SC!!
Fave. Missing Joyce who overslept. And I guess our only successful date was the one the week before. Lol!!!
Ramen w the famz when we decided not to go for GBTB!
WAHAHA I finally had time to update. Like finally.
Peak is sort of over. Or rather, the official peak for corporate tax ended on 15 Dec, so by right TP's peak should have ended by then too because of the contemporaneous documentation requirement! But in reality...
Nope. Not really. We're still taking in work for FY2014 so it seems like we're still busy, but definitely less busy on my side!! And I took leave from 16th-18th once the leave block is lifted to rest. Like my main aim is just to... Sleep in and wake up late. I don't expect myself to be totally off from work, but as much as possible I want to avoid doing work! My seniors were saying that I should've taken a longer break and go overseas, if not we confirm will still use the laptop to do some form of work. Lol sadded :(
But okay laaaa, not much work to do except one write up after my client meeting on Tues! Thankfully my manager understood that I was going on leave so he didn't ask for it soon - we initially wanted to hold it aft my leave hehe. But I need to start asking for work soon if not I'll be too free at times and it's not good especially when round table is coming soon. Asked one senior manager how is it like though I know it's not as nice as I expected. But oh well I do hope everything goes well though. I don't need exemplary ratings or feedbacks but definitely not mean comments that were not communicated to me directly but only on the round table. Yknow, it feels abit like betrayal but sadly life's like that and there's nothing we can do. No power so just... Keep it to ourselves ba.
But this was indeed a crazy peak. Stayed till 4am in the office before, went back to office over the weekends (and stayed past 12 a few times), one week non stop cabbing aft work, not sleeping for one night cause I felt bad for not rushing something out that I couldn't sleep, bathed in the office and changed to my sleepwear (LOL totally feeling like I'm home please), stressed out at wee hours in the morning like how I felt like breaking down when I stayed up to study cause I did nothing much the whole day (not productive), etc. Thankfully there were nice colleagues with were encouraging despite having to review my work which I felt was not up to standard sometimes.. And also to our fellow batchmates!! Glad we supported each other throughout :):)
Kinda lost track what happened during the 3 months.. Not sure if I talked about how I spent my 22nd at work HAHA. Probably on Dayre, but well just brief updates!
- EY DND 2015
First corporate DnD!! Hahah wondering if I'm fated to alw do such stuff - when I was an intern we got arrowed to do cheer dancing; this year as a tax associate we have to perform! Actually most associates have to but for tax, we all have to participate in various roles. But okay la, I only get to do it once only :P shall post some pics for that night!
Collage for the night!! With colleagues and fellow NTU friends if you can spot them! :)
Photo w my female batchies during the break before the actual dinner!! :):)
Shall upload our video one day! Thoight ours was good; if not because we exceeded the time limit haha. But oh wells! After-party was fun too! Just jumping ard the stage instead of a club - just shiok enough to forget about work stress!! :) sad thing is, cannot claim cab woops!
- Teoheng KTV!
Teoheng KTV on the very next day - we must have been crazy HAHA. But yay weekend well spent away from work! People came and left at diff timing and this was taken at some point LOL. Missing quite a few here.
- Birthday celebrations!
Wasn't expecting much for my 22nd cause it's not like any other milestones and it's peak and me haz no friends during peak but oh well, I was pleasantly surprised on many occasions!
Celebration #1 was with le godsis & Jeremy aft my KTV session!! Made reservations at Platypus - good food, good company, good service. And thanks for the treat fave sis!! *hugs*
Celebration #2 was in office for the October babies and I missed it cause I was out for dinner HAHAHAHAHA. But I got a cake, just no birthday photo :)
Celebrations #3, #4, #5 were on the actual day itself! The batchmates bought a slice of cake :) Hahaha but I couldn't eat it cause it was aft lunch so we shared it on the next day!
#4 was with Germ and Eugene! Quite funny cause Germ was asking when I will be free to claim my free dinner for passing him my tax cheatsheet :P And it ended up on the day itself because I had nothing planned haha. Thanks for the treat Germ! (think he paid Eugene's share as well) And thanks for coming all the way down to satisfy my cravings!
#5 was ofc, at homeeeee :) cheesecake yums ^^
#6 was with Michie who came to my office area to treat me to dinner!!! Thankyou sweetest exroomie :):)

- Matt's farewell
Fast forward a lil, it was Matt's farewell!! Hope you had fun in sg for the past three months!! And helping us out during peak :)
- SHUBIN IS BACK!
That's right! Le petite friend is back from UK!!! And she only met me after a month since she came back tsktsk!!! As usual no photos of her lest she kills me!! So yup just food and Christmas decos :):)
Shall be continued in the next post. Need to sleep omg 2 days of my leave just passed like that. Boooooo :(
Work is shit (just like how Michie says audit is shit too hehehe).
Work is depressing.
Which is why I find that my work is hard to understand. (still not a report person sigh)
Sigh my workload is abit crazy (but it's nothing compared to some people's), and peak is not ending soon either...
And I'm so slow with my work, I OT till late but I don't dare to charge. Sighhhh they say we should charge all the hours we spent but... Too many hours being reflected is not good also right. Chargeability VS efficiency.
Feeling terribly shitty cause I received my work on Monday but my senior had to rush it out instead cause the other party sent a chaser email 2 days later..like whutttt. I was planning to clear it over this weekend one lor. Cause still need to understand what I'm supposed to report on. Sighhhh and I'm too drained today that I don't wna OT past 12 again. :( felt sooooo bad leaving my senior to do the work but I'm not being useful if I stayed there either.
Boooooo. And I'm so scared of the deadlines coming, arghhhhh. If I knew it'd be this bad, I'd have rested more before peak mehhhh.
But okay. Gna reach home close to 12, seems like I wasted another day :(
NOOOO. Omg I really really hate this feeling. Sigh, totally no mood now. I know people are nice but I cannot believe I'm just so careless again, and it doesn't help that I found out about this myself and rectified everything.
Noooo debs please be less careless! Thought it would only happen once last year :( emo nemooooooo T_T
I'm Debbie, just another ordinary human being.
