Running away

Auditing is a very fast-paced job.

It forced you to "grow up" in less than 3 years after you have graduated from work.

When I just joined, I was just a fresh graduate and had almost no experience in the corporate world. Well.. Three years passed and I am expected to manage not only my client, my juniors as well as my managers.

Is three years long enough for someone to grow and learn enough to undertake those tasks?

Maybe or maybe not.

I was very stress during a period of time, just trying to cope with the preparation of house as well as meeting the deadline of my engagements.

There were times which I just want to leave all the things behind and run. It was just too much for me.

Well... Ironically, considering that edwin had lesser work experience, he supported me in dealing with the above. "Taking a break is not a solution. You can't possibly keep taking breaks."

There are times when I felt that he is naggy. He kept asking me to change this and change that. I felt that he is being too harsh on me. Sometimes, I just shut off when he was nagging. Ha... This resulted in quarrels. He hated me doing that. But I just love to do that to him. =p

It has been a long time since I do a thorough self-reflection. Maybe it is time for me to do now.

Camera eye

Sometimes I wish that my eye is an automatic camera so that I can capture all the precious moments when I see them.

Travelling

Travelling used to be my hobby. I still love travelling a lot. But I have given up that hobby.

I like to see what is it like in the other parts of the world. I once had a dream of visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

However, I married a guy who don't like travelling.

The idea of a short trip was rejected several times.

He feels that travelling will cost quite a sum which can be saved for other greater purpose.

My colleagues just came back from Japan. They spent about 3.5k for a 10 days trip.

When they told me that, I was calculating how much can I save from 3.5k. I guess this thought is originated from the pressure to save money for the family.

It was a waste that I have to give up my dream. Well... I must say that it was worthwhile giving up.

Haha... To compensate for that, my honeymoon destination must be somewhere expensive, romantic and unforgettable! =p
