back to the down to earth..

And that is what we ought to be... i think for this, i still owe my ex-senior.. spoke to her on thursday early morning..one of the few days she actually came early after peak, because she have a course to attend... and she made me think twice of my current position.. whether i am really unhappy... or i am just a stubborn and over-determined person that is not open-minded enough..

this week have been quite a tiring week for me.. because most of my time is dedicated on my work.. my current senior finally had it after i have the courage to speak up to her when she.. she asked why am i so fierce.. when i answered that i am fierce only to her.. she really hit me playfully.. i know la.. in a way although i am standing up for my own right, i am not respecting her as my elder as well.. as my ex-senior advised.. i will reduce it.. anyways my so called "fierce" is not rude.. this week seem to be a week full of challenges for me.. clients really come up with all kinds of weird situations..

first, it is a client which my senior just took over recently.. and the expatriate is a leaver 10 years ago.. the irb claim that he did not settle his outstanding tax liability.. bah... its only 300.. that one only want to chase after.. then i went over to that branch and settle it.. now, after 10 years.. they finally going to transfer the cash into his account and deem his debt to be settled.. finally.. and then based on the irb's record, my other client did not pay their july std.. so we have to go through all the process to get the payment receipt... monday, i am going to call the irb to clarify this.. then another client go against the rules and claim extra computer relief last year, which he claimed once in 2007 and this relief can only be claimed once in every 3 years.. so it is his own fault since we took over his accounts only last year..

wednesday and thursday.. i stayed up to 10pm at night for work.. and am so exhausted now. had dinner with susan, my colleague that day, which we have similar personality.. she wanted to learn more.. so do i.. but i am better because she is under dilemma.. she will think it out during her leave next week... and i trust that she will.. while i am under my own stubborness.. i still want to return where i belong some day.. but when i really question my own feelings.. i am not as unhappy as i thought.. yes, my senior leave me alone a lot and i am expected to take over her large clients.. yes, there are a lot of work which i actually self-taught and yes, i definitely do more work than her.. but all these, when i come to terms and think about it.. dont they just made me grow up more? and more mature and capable?

well at least, she did teach me quite a lot.. like this week, i learnt about double taxation agreements, or DTA.. how sometimes, non-residents choose to remit taxes in their own countries or not in host countries which they work temporary.. but they need to inform the irb about this.. and with this, documents such as letters from the home country company that salary is paid by them.. letter from host country to certify that.. certificate of fiscal residence from the irb of their home country and a letter by external auditor to certify this all is true and is independent..

i will be applying for cpa next week but i need to clarify with HR about something first... whether it will constrain me from transferring when i am under bonding.. many colleagues are leaving this department, one left this week.. and another finishing her term next week.. she is going to transfer department..

for now.. i ought to put in my best effort and do all i can.. prove to the company that i have what it takes to be precious to the company and they will not want to lose me.. i just wanna cherish every opportunity i have.. although i am not at where i belong.. but i am not unhappy.. maybe sometimes i am under stress.. but its alright, who will grow up without it? i just want to be happy, maybe i dont have an equal chance now.. but that does not mean it will last forever right? i believe.. one day.. i will eventually attain it..
