Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I posted here. I find it difficult  to do so with the lack of internet connection at my home. I had a phone with internet connections but my phone's browser won't allow me to type anything over 1000 characters which makes it hard for me to post anything using my phone. In addition to that, typing a lot of stuff using my phone is hard with the small keypad and screen. I am thinking of buying a new one but I don't want to waste my money. Now I am hoping that I am able to earn about U$D800 online to buy myself a new 3g pda but that seems to be a very far goal. Up until now, I have only earned about $2.00 from this blog and the other money making programs that I have joined only accumulate to about $3.00. It seems like I am taking forever to reach U$D 800.

Ok, back to the subject. I am addicted to the internet and I really wanted to update my blog so I brought my laptop everywhere I go hoping thay I could connect to a public hotspot. Unfortuately there seems to be no public hotspots wherever I go. It is always either that the hotspot is password protected or it is too far from me; it is hard to find parking.

Finally I got fed up and went to a restaurant to connect to their hotspot. Now I am sitting here drinking just a cup of Milo while I surfed the web. According to the rules, only customers of the restaurant are allowed to use their internet so I simply ordered a cup of Milo but the waitress seems to be unhappy with it. Well, I wouldn't blame her. I would be unhappy too if I opened a restaurant and my customers just ordered a drink but surfed the web using my internet connction for an hour. Thats it for now, I have to leave now or the waitress might hit me with a broom. LOL...

Yesterday was my last day as an accountant. I finally freed myself from the clutches of that enslaving company. Well, not really, I still need to go back and train the new accountant but it is still better than being forced to work like a slave.

I was very happy that I don't need to face the pile of work this morning but my happiness was a short lasting one. Just as I was in the middle of enjoying a stress free morning, the temporary accountant messaged me about a problem. You would think that someone who has more experience in business matters would know how to deal with simple problems but no, she had to ask me how to solve it. I guess it won't be long before my employer calls me again. I wouldn't mind if I was getting paid but I am not. Sigh.

Overall, my first day of unemployment is ok. Its always nice to have a break from a long period of work. Too bad this won't last because my university class starts next month.

Sorry for the long absence. I was busy with a course since May and my employer has been flooding me with work the minute I came back from my leave. I spent about three weeks re-doing most of the accounts from 2007 until now.
I have 2 news to tell all of you. One is that I am going to resign soon which means I can finally get rid of this headache for good. The other is that school is going to start and I will not be able to post as frequent as I did last time, but I will try to post at least once a week.

Speaking of my work, I really hated it because my employer is making me work like a slave. The company pays me $500 a month to do all their accounting work. That amount of pay is reasonable to me if I only need to do this year's accounts. Instead, they want me to do last year's accounts too. Now, reading until here you would probably ask me why would I still work there for half a year. The reason is because this job was the highest paying one before I started working. After a week, another company called me and offered to pay me more but I rejected them because I had promised my employer that I would work for them for at least 6 months.

Even more frustrating is my pay for June is only $250. I know I should be paid that much when I only work for about 15 days but the company usually pays me full even when I take leaves. I remember they paid me full the last time I took a one week leave. I think they don't want to waste that money because I am leaving them soon. Tell me, how many of you out there would like to be paid $250 but have to do one and a half years of accounting work...
I doubt anyone would do so. Unless you are really that desperate for money.

After all the expenses have been cut of, I barely have enough money for this week's budget. It's lucky I have a second job or I won't have any money to pay for this month's expenses.
Well, thats it for now. See you soon...

Here is another joke I received from my friends:

A Japanese man was in a hurry to go to the KLIA airport, so he took a Proton taxi. The taxi driver took his sweet time driving within the speed limit but the Jap was getting impatient.
 
The following is their conversation on the way to the airport . A Toyota Camry overtook the taxi.....zoom....

Jap: Look ...look ... Toyota !! ...very fast!!!.... made in Japan!Proton...no good.... made in Malaysia .

Driver: yah....

After a few minutes a Nissan overtook the taxi....zoom.

Jap: look.... look.... Nissan!!!..... very good!! very fast! made in Japan! Proton.... no good.... made in Malaysia

Driver: yah....yah...

After a few minutes a Honda overtook the taxi...zooom. !

Jap: look.... look... Honda!!.... very GOOD!!....very fast!  ....made in Japan! Proton...no good...made in Malaysia..

Driver: yah...yah...yah....!

Arriving at the airport,the Jap is about to pay the taxi driver.

Jap: How much?

Driver: RM150/-

Jap: Oh... very expensive..... you overcharge ! !

Driver: Noooo .... look .... look .... Sony meter!!....very good!!.... very fast!.... Made in Japan!

So does it mean anything to you? I am still working on solving the accounts and I found out a lot of the mistakes was due to other workers in the company. After informing my employer, he told me to warn them that their salary will be on hold until the mess has been cleared and that any losses will be deducted from their salaries. And just as instructed, I phoned each and every one of them, telling them that but all of them have no response. It seems to have no effect on them and they still continue to make the same mistakes until now. Some of them even sounded sleepy when I told them that.

How about you? Have you been threathened by your employer? How did you respond to those threats? Work harder? Or simply ignore it since it doesn't mean anything?


Speaking of salary, I just received mine today. Yahoo!! But wait....after deducting food, petrol and some miselaneous expenses, I am left with about $100 to spend.  :'(
Sigh....Hard to earn but easy to go......

It was in a news I saw this week. Unbelievably, the reporter said that scientist have classified cockroaches as an endangered species. At first, I thought they were joking because there are lots of cockroaches around and they are very strong creatures, able to survive in almost any conditions. They can even survive after being exposed to deadly doses of nuclear radiation. But it turns out that it is only three species that are endangered.

Scientists say that they have become extinct because of the presence of high concentration of additives and man made chemicals found in the food we eat. When the cockroaches consume these foods, they are poisoned and thus die.

If the food we eat can kill cockroaches, I wonder what effects it has on us? Kind of scary don't you think?

According to the scientists, cockroaches are important in keeping us alive because they help in the decomposition of the wastes we produce. If they become extinct, the world might turn into a huge rubbish dump.

Now that you know about this, would you still kill any cockroach you see? Or will you check the species first and only kill those that are not endangered? Or would you kill any you see? I for one will kill any I see. So BEWARE you cockroaches..... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA (my evil laugh). As if he cockroaches will read this.....they can't even read.... or may be they could if they are like those in cartoons such as "FAIRLY ODD PARENTS" (spoken in the style of a maniac, like Mr. Crocker in this cartoon).
I can still remember the cockroaches' words: "Total world domination!!!"
