Harlow fellow citizens of the world who even bother reading my blog…..

Aight….got me second paycheck…..so me very happy….very big hearted, so anyone interested for free coffee…offer valid while cash last….HAH

Okay…..i had this nagging sensation to bitch about my line of work….or…well..my ex-line of work……

I knew one day the whole industry will collapse….if not weaken…and in the not so distant future crumble under the weight of fake pretenses, hypocrisy, and sheer stupidity……i am talking about the auditing industry…..yes i WAS in the auditing industry…it is a sham if you ask me personally….a big huge scandal…more serious than catching your boss in bed with another man’s wife…HAH take that….more scandalous than finding out who leaked out board room secrets into public….in the corporate world…it is a big bad scary shit ass world…..

I extrapolated some facts, figures and practices of my ex place, and i envisioned a world full of backstabbing, hatred, stress, bitching, and a world where employers do not treat employees like human beings, but rather as ” a mass which contains little or no feature,dignity,nor emotion”…

u see…we are so used to hearing some senior asses in large ass firms telling the young ones how they sufferred back in the 60s la, 70s la, 80s la….and that we young kids these days have it easy……and that the “torture” was not half as bad as what they had…so they have every single bloody fu*&ing right to treat us like how they were treated 30- 40 years ago….thing is…..the world moved on and these lil ba5t@rd5 dun seem to tag along…gone are the days where u can treat employees worse than animals ( at least animals get their 3 square meals and get tied up) but we human beings are deprived of lunch, dinner, family gatherings, and even public holidays…if we fail to abide, people throw the culture guilty trip at you…..

They give you an elusive and constantly moving goal post for you to reach, but after 8 - 10 years you find that u still can;t seem to find that post, let alone score a goal there…..

An industry so clouded now my megalomaniac corporate failures and the once BIG FOUR names now stink worse than my dog urine in the mornings……in the daily nitty gritties all you get is half wit nit wit dumb wit chicks or punks who ask stupid questions to their clients, and sucking up their asses so hard they sore….and in the end, succumb to these company’s director’s instructions and ocme up with some f*&^%d up results which 6 months down the road causes firms to be banned from submitting or filling listings to the bourses…..

I have heard, from friends and punks alike within the industry where these young external auditors are now suffering from all sorts of depression, clinical la, manic la, mild la, some even went schizho….and thats no good…….people threatening to kill themselves, people with such low self esteem…..it is getting worse…it doesn;t help that we are well aware that these firms are in severe shortage of people that they’re starting to pick up strays with the most minimum or no qualification….some firms even put ” sports qualifications” on top of the necessary I REPEAT neccesary academic qualification to be even called an Oh-Di-Ter…..

It is ridiculous…the way things are moving now…..

You find zombies walking day i and out of work…the survivors are normally ones who knows which balls to suck and which balls to kick….it is all a ball treating game…play ur balls right, and you will survive…..

It’s sad that a once noble profession which was even a lineage of my own family tree ( my gramp was an ‘audit personnel” back in the british colonial days) right down to my uncles and aunties……now beginning to see its damage done……

Partners are worried sick day in and day out…..praying that nobody sues them for misrepresentation but it is all brought upon by themselves, killing their own people, and in return, these fellows sabotage your firm…..WOW sounds like fun…..

With all due respect for the industry and its people, i pray and only hope that external auditors can one day be treated as human beings…..independent, careful, dilligent in their work and exercise all due care and professionalism……and not end up looking like a man who’s lost all his youth by 30 to a company who doesn’t pay him/her well and rob them off their happiness…..workers regardless of profession should be granted happiness and peace….they should not be fooled and trapped into believing that they can one day use that fucking coffee machine next to the “regular” coffee making facilities pantry in their office…and that people need no rush back to office after a long hard day to calculate the minimum audit fees on a friday night…..

There must be check and balance, to ensure no compromise in quality, and not merely pushing out quantity to earn higher fees and to get a better bigger car to arrive at the 5 star hotel….it’s not that….

All these fancy posh addresses and premises, are facades to a dark cynical planned world where the key people are treating their resources like dolls on their fingertips,

To all you out there…do not be deluded that you will get there one day, as i see it, there is not GET THERE ONE DAY…there isn;t even that somewhere…it will not come……

So till my next blog friends out there……zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

DAy 31

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

It’s been 31 days into my new place. I am pretty happy with what and where i am doing…things are much to my pleasant surprise at the current place, though i have learnt to be cautious and to qualify such an absolute statement, so, i would say its too soon to tell, but long enough to give me the impression that i can think long term this time round. Alright, since my last blog, i have not changed much, hmmm except that now i truly have to say that i have accepted God deep into my heart. I have learnt to pray, and i have learnt to ask. I have learnt to fear Him. But that’s God.

Now, my life, well, since the last last blog, i told you my life is always WIP, so i have rearranged my room again, throwing out and shredding out all the old workplace’s "rough paper" and burning them ( to destroy all sensitive information) and fill the bookcase with my accounting standards (blek) and displaying all my debate trophies all over the place, i bought two new matchbox cars ( a new Mercedes and a new BMW) and err, i made an altar for myself (in worship of God)…and i allocated an extra drawer for my wife-to-be clothes….God willing, we’re getting our own place next year (hopefully 1st quarter 2008) and we’ll start procreating soon enough MUAHHAHAHAHAH time to spread wild oats…..

Well, i am technically sick, down with the usual flu and cough ( bad weather) and i write cause i can…u see..i was so fu*&^ing stressed and busy at my old place that i didn’t have time to tell the whole bloody world that i was…see….i even lost contact with some great friends because of some crummy job…..

ANyways, all of you out there, pray for me, and wish me luck, keep me in ur prayers and i wll keep yours too in mine. Keep moving forward in life, and look up ahead, occasionally, looking down to see where you are stepping, once in awhile, we step into a whole lotta shit, but eventually, we will get out of it, learning a thing or two along the way, and pave our path carefully the next time round.

My family have also grown up, in age, wisdom, and around the waist. Slowly, we are moving to another phase of life, mum and dad as soon to be retirees while son and daughters are getting their careers kicked off…..

My sister still writes on freelance for the local dailies, while the younger one is still busy with her boyfriend, my mum talks like she’s 94 but she’s only 49 and dad talks like he’s 5 when he is 50. well….sing of times, and aging of course…..

My friends, hmmmm……yeah, they’ve also started moving upwards, yeah, i didn;t realize that some of them are married WITH KIDS….man i jealous kat u all la…..some of them are making it big, some of them are into direct selling, some doing drugs, some doing public performance, some are actors in mainstream TV, and some are models in fashion magazines…..we have become all sorts, to be out there, to generate economic value to our country….yeah one of them also planning to be the next PM..and he’s like another 20 years to it…..

Till the next blog. the actifad is working on me, so is the cough syrup, and the panadol, and the sleeping pills, and the antibiotics, and the painkillerszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
