I'm currently in my internship with Ernst & Young, an accounting (most would call it a 'professional service' firm)...and I've two more weeks to go. Wootzz. From assignments following my seniors to handling an assignment alone in client's place. It's pretty much fun.
And, I attended 2013's Malaysian Student Leaders Summit. Tony Fernandes was Santa Clause who loves the colour red and giving out free money and air tickets. S. Ambiga and Nurul Izzah Anuar and the Vice Chairman from the Election Commission were present discussing on matters 'bout the relevance of the electoral system following the results of the last election. YB Khairy J. was totally a cool guy responding to tough questions raised by the floor, answering them in a very smart manner. His charisma in Chairman of PwC, Mr Faiz Azmi talked about 'learning from other countries', 'merdeka spirit' etc. Rafizi Ramli, an ICAEW member involved in Malaysian politics reflects the quality of skepticism after his whistleblowing on the "cow incident". MACC chairman is hoping that the organisation would be given more power on prosecuting those involved in corruptions. The session on National cars is looking at Malaysia being the hub for Hybrid vehicles, lowering of car prices (in terms of import duties and excise duties) over the next 3-4 years, National car manufacturers consolidating their suppliers to achieve economics of scale (price decreases as volume increases).
The college was busy preparing for the International Cultural Festival. And, I was in charge of decoration. After some discussion with ma' mate, Jhanaar, we decided to come out with the idea to build an 'arch'....then realizing that we had no idea how to build one. So, I thought it might be cool to have a flat statue which you could put face on it (I have no idea what you call those). And, I sketched a 2-meter tall statue of liberty out of a marker pen on 3 pieces of mahjong paper. I thought it is a cute sketch, juz a little big (never call a lady fat). And, she was stolen juz right on the day of the fair. Sad story.
Being volunteer at the MTV World Stage was something that I couldn't understand...couldn't understand why people would come and queue as early as 7 am till 7 pm under the scorching hot sun and some rain. My task was to find 30 respondents to be surveyed...and the survey form was bloody long. Probably the last thing you'd like to do in this life, unless you'd like to kill time waiting to enter MTV World Stage. I've got 2 tickets with an access to cut the queue which I gave the tickets to my friend, coz I have no idea who those performing artists are...well...except for Far East Movement. "Hey...where this entrance is?" a girl asked me showing her ticket. "There's juz one entrance I think. You see the crowd over there? yea..." I replied. "You think? So you dunno la" and she just went off. ("YOU're WELCOME, B%^&*!!!")
And I learnt how to make some sweet stuffs...
Tiramisu and ingredients (I can't find mascarpone cheeeeeeze)
White chocolate Oreo no-bake cheese cake
(note to self: never put white chocolate as icing. It cracks and taste like 'diabetes')
On that day as well I sat for a so-called speaking test. Not sure we were training the evaluators or the evaluators were testing us. It was a great experience. Thanks, Daphne~
And, the secondary school prefects gang decided to have a surprise celebration for Kah Yenn...which she already found out...
