i've finally learnt what it means by never to betray the trust of a scorpion
coz u'll never be able to get it back...
what happened years ago can be brought up again and again as long as 10yrs later, 20 yrs later...
this thorn will forever be in the heart of the scorpion...
i've read abt this character trait of scorpions
but being a scorpion have not really experienced it myself
hence i was qt sceptical
but now i truly believe it...
ya la..
the incident may have happened years ago
but who am i to judge coz i was not involved then...
but now after so many years
it's still a subject of contention between them
and it's so freaking annoying to be dragged into sth that i have no idea about...
it's not tt i dont believe her
it's just that i don't comment coz i don't think it's my place to judge and not my place to criticise and to take sides....
so just get off my back la...

after doing insolvency for 3 mths...
altho it's a short time as compared to the experience of my boss n manager..
i realise sth abt co's tt goes bust...
so it's a lesson for those who want to set up their own business
the keyword is CASHFLOW
must always manage your cashflow
when ur cashflow's tight, means liquidity is low, means that u have a higher chance of being insolvent
can u imagine a boss who doesn't manage his accounts receivables??
walao
i see until i want to faint...
i will see some statement of accounts wif invoices from 2006...
like hello.. it's alr 2008...
den some statement of accounts weird weird de..
like the co alr paid aug but frm my statement the co nv pay july...
like how can it be rite?
most cos go by the FIFO system
meaning they pay the earlier bill first
how can it be that they pay august but dun pay july...
make me wanna faint..
i check n reconcile till my eyes wanna cross liao..
n to think there's another stack coming..

i believe the choice of auditors also matters
it's so coincidental that 2 different cos tt r in liq share the same auditor
erhemz...
hahaha
eh..accounts very impt k!
keeping good accounts also sort of means keeping ur co in good shape
and auditors doesn't mean cheap is good k?
there muz be a reason why some r cheap n some r ex...
tt is if u exclude the big 4 frm this comparison
haha
how can a co not have management accounts for 1 yr?
how can a co not have audited accounts for the past dunno hw many yrs?
sooooo soooo messy....
n the best part is how can u combine the acc for 2007 n 2008?
den like tt how to compare to previous yrs accounts??
faint n double faint n triple faint..
haha

so everyone rmbr the keyword
"CASHFLOW"
haha

and so 2 weeks have passed since i last updated....
last week i was busy shuttling between the hospital, home n work...
a bit tiring...
the hospital bill was a bit expensive...
but it's was all worth it to see her recovering....
can feel the mood in the hse n family changing
less tense, more positive, more sociable
n it's worth it to see her laugh again...
altho she is qt forgetful nowadays coz of the treatment...
haha
anw the hospital bill was ok la..within our expectations
it was the doc's fees that was shocking
n it was super enbarassing to have the receptionist tell me that the atm card has exceeded it's daily limit..
yes tt's hw expensive the doc's fees were..

anw work's fine i guess
can't say i absolutely love my job
sometimes it can really be frustrating
can make me change a tabulation again and again and again
until i'm so sick of tt tabulation
but it is challenging la
an action can have a lot a lot of implications...
tt's y my manager alw say
"THINK THINK...use ur brain use ur brain"
hahaha

oh ya! i've been comfirmed..
means i passed my 3mths probabtion even b4 my 3rd mth is up..
hehe
but my pay increase will only come after the 3rd mth
sadz
last week was slack...
coz boss was in court most of the time
so shiok
means i could slack a bit in the office
coz when he's in the office he'll demand for this demand for that

oh ya...this particular bank that starts with the letter "U" is super annoying
i've been trying to open a bank acc for 1 of the cases..
went to the bank 3 times n kena rejected 3 times
pissed to the max
first they say dun haf ACRA filing, dun haf resolution fair enuff
den they say they wan beneficial ownership info
means shareholders info
WTH la!
a co in liquidation where got shareholder???
their compliance unit got study co law or not
den everythime i go back to office to tell my manager wad the officer said i alw kena scolding
a co in liq WHERE got shareholders
who has beneficial ownership?
the shareholders or the creditors??
3 times liao leh
damn sian coz i keep getting scolded coz of the stupid bank
wahbiang
another officer even better
ask me to get the director to come down n sign
i juz felt like smacking her
co in liquidation directors powers CEASE!!!
no power to sign
it's juz like asking a dead man to sign on his acc to trf money out of his acc
pengz
n the best thing was she kept insisting on it
hello
even if it's a normal going concern co u think the directors will come down n sign meh??
u think the directors so free meh??
n the best part was....
they rejected my ACRA filing simply coz it's different frm the format that they noe
wahbiang!!!
they say juz spend $5 go to ACRA to print out
u think the one i gif u no need money one ar??
it's juz in a diff format coz it's a diff service provider ma..
faintx to the max
how inflexible can our bank staff get...

nt only is my boss and manager getting pissed off coz this issue is still nt resolved
i'm getting super pissed off too
coz as of now......
the bloody acc is STILL nt opened yet!!!!!!!!!!!
means monday i muz try to resolve again...........
sian...
1 whole week liao still can't open the bloody acc
i swear if i go into my boss office to get him to sign another doc for this acc opening
he'll juz think tt i'm not a good problem solver lor
haix

can't rmbr if i blogged abt another incident wif another bank starting with the letter "O" to try to close an acc...
but i think i complained to qt a lot of pple abt it...
haha
it was this poor ger's 1st week of work
supposed to go to this bank to close the acc for another case
den normally is all go banking hall de
so i went to the banking hall to try to submit the doc
den the counter staff act asked me to go to centre east to go to the office...
i was like a bit puzzled coz by right all bank offices have restricted access to outsiders but ok i shall trust her...
she couldn;t even tell me who shud i speak to lor...
so i walked to centre east
den i stupidly stood outside the office trying to fig out who and how to speak to someone in the office...
finally a lady came out...
she directed me back to the banking hall...
so i went back to the banking hall
the counter staff tried again to direct me back to centre east
WTH!!
so with a forced smile i said
"Can u call n check for me?"
the ger act said
"Oh u've been there ar?"
n very TERSELY i said "YES and they asked me to come back here"
in the end n after like half an hr (tt's like really long) she finally came out n acknowledged my letter...
all tt was needed was a signature and a stamp
-_-"
how do i noe 1/2 an hr is long? coz in the same afternoon i went to another bank to get the same thing done..it took only 5 mins or in fact less than tt..

here are juz some random pix tt i took mths ago on my hp but was too lazy to upload it...
haha
oh no the pix in my posts exceeded some sort of limit again...so i had to delete away some pix..

random pix taken in m'sia..took it coz the road name is in the name of my uncle...so i was wondering if my uncle made a lot of contributions to tt town..so they named it in memory of my uncle...haha coz coincidentally my uncle's wife hails from this town...

and introducing the latest addition to my soft toy family!!!
raccy (rac-ky not race-y)...why raccy?
coz it's a raccoon..
okok dun box me...
haha
bdae present from my dear...

*i miss u already....*

Saturday, November 1; 11/01/2008 08:48:00 PM

i've seen nth but professionalism today
it has changed my impression from my previous visit
A&E staff should be trained to handle psychiatric patients too
especially when u r given a referral letter frm a previous doc

previously..........

called the ambulance which supposedly had the facilities n r trained to deal with psychiatric patients....
nurse: come la..auntie we bring u go see doc, see alr i'll bring u back...come la...dr yeo's alr waiting for u.... *repeated tt like n number of times*

i was like is tt all tt u can say n do n say?
the ambulance was juz like a freaking expensive taxi
coz they were totally nt trained to handle problems like this...
no 1 mistake: dun make promises u cant keep... u will nt be bringing her back
no 2 mistake: dun try to lie without covering ur lie...u din even get doc yeo...n u din even bother to call to make sure he or someone else trained to handle this kind of cases was waiting....

they may nt be well...but they r nt stupid....

......................................................................................................................................................................
at the A&E
nurse: is ur mum suffering frm depression? but she looks qt chatty for a depression patient...

*please la! there are other kinds of psychiatric problems other than depression la...pple tell u psychiatric illness u think depression... -_-" *

me: doc, is it possible to admit my mum to stay ovrnight b4 she sees the doc tmr?
doc: i alr asked ur mum, but she say she dun wan to stay. As a doc, i muz respect a patient's right to confidentiality. And if she says that she doen't want to be admitted, I cannot force her..
me: but she's not well, n i'm not sure if she'll come again tmr...
doc: i'm sorry..i have to respect a patient's right to confidentiality, otherwise i'll lose the trust of my patients...besides she looks qt ok to me.... -_-"

i'm qt happy tt the doc thinks this way...he's ethical n sticks to his principles...but it shud depend on the case rite? if a patient is mentally unwell, u ask her whether she want to stay of coz she'll say no ma..haf u seen a drunk saying he's drunk? it was so freaking exasperating.....

next day....
mum goes see doc...
sees her for 10-15 mins, din even bother to tok to the patient, din see the referral letter...
diagnosis: ur mum is juz stressed up, she juz needs to take some medicine n slp more, she'll be fine...
WTH!!!

if at tt pt in time he had recognised the problem she could have started the treatment earlier, den it wouldn't haf to drag till now...n this doc was supposedly a very famous doc who had tons n tons of patients....i was so disgusted wif this hospital for tt period of time...as it was a private hospital which prided itself on providing high stds of services in town..

today....
everything was so much better...
i saw professional nurses who knew hw to speak to patients to put them at ease...
i saw docs who took time to do a proper diagnosis
to act provide a service...
if this had been the case a mth back, i'm sure she would haf been on the road to recovery alr...
