The reason I am not an accountant by profession is because I hate numbers, unless they appear in my bank account(s). This is also why I cannot understand how I ended up in the state that I am currently in.

I am now doing the exact thing that I hate in school, balancing accounts and looking for errors in posted journals and make sure I make the auditor very happy. Its okay if you do not understand what the hell I'm talking about. Seriously, I also don't know what I'm doing, not exactly anyway.

After clearing like 4 months' worth of accounts, I think I have pretty much get the hang of it, but then accounts are like a box of chocolates (praise Forrest Gump for the phrase), you never know what shit you are gonna get until you open the books. Do until sibei pek chek and sibei blurz and do I must, I tell myself. Even though I will kao bei but being the good responsible guy that I am, I still 咬紧牙关 and lan lan try my best to do what is expected of me to do.

The audit is next Friday and I hope I can make the auditor happy so that my boss will be happy and so that Ah Geok will be happy and so that in the end, I will be given an easier life and so I will be happy, so in order to make myself happy, I have to tahan and continue to open boxes of blardy chocolates, while at the same time, continue to kao bei to fellow like minded colleagues during lunch and tea breaks.

Actually, you dun think I kao bei kao bei, very bad. Of course all work sucks and its how we manage our work, cuz work still needs to be done.

But people often undermine the healing powers of kao bei. It helps to relief stress and helps bonding with your fellow colleagues. Its through kao bei-ing to each other that we have topics to talk about during lunch, especially people whom you seldom lunch with. Of course when you do that with someone you are not very close with, you have to be careful what you are kao bei-ing about. Safe topics include the gahmen, the big big boss, or the job scope or the general office environment, but always avoid kao bei-ing about another colleague, cuz you never know if they are buddies, know what I mean...

Ok, if you will excuse me, I have kao bei-ed and now its back to my accounts...
