Back from Home Leave..

The last 2 weeks were spent at home in Singapore. Had missed home pretty much, family, friends and the food. Weather was wet in the first week and very humid in the 2nd. All in all, had managed to catch up and spent time with family and most of my friends (thanks for making time!). 2 weeks were indeed short to catch up with all my friends though... which is unfortunate and I feel paiseh. Sorry to all friends whom I had not managed to meet up. Will definitely try to meet up the next time back... (may be Jun, Oct or Nov 07).

Life back in Sydney would need to take some getting used once again this time back as I did not feel in any way 'dis-connected' from the Singapore way of life. Haha.. For eg. I had no problems switching back to using Sing-lish... which just made me feel soo at home. And definitely, the cheap prices of food is so easy to get used to. Haha.. Price of a simple meal in Sydney is always one of the most commonest topic I raised whenever I met up with my frens.

Anticipating BLUES to hit me hard tomorrow as intense work re-starts. Had not managed to rest much during the 2 weeks back as I had occupied myself with meeting up with friends and spending as much time as I can with my family. Will need to catch up on the sleep I believe.. haha..

The coming 6 months would be a big challenge for me and I'm psyching myself to meet up to it and excel. The following are the keys challenges:
- Proving myself capable as a senior on jobs (investing lots of time to research and to catch up on any inefficiencies that I would incur)
- Passing the TAX CA paper ('killer paper for auditors') in early May
- Staying disciplined and ensuring good time management for studies given the heavier workload, harder CA paper and less time during the weekends (eg. parents coming for CNY mid Feb, Tasmania trip in early Mar, etc...)

Hard work would hav to start from today. I hope I will be disciplined.. haha.. I hope. That's all for now everyone. Time to be disciplined and prepare for work tomorrow! Haha.. Cheers!
