And so, there is actually a non peak season for auditors or maybe, for junior associates like me, who is assigned to do smaller jobs. It was in this month that I booked a longer leave to study, go for a holiday and just chill. Oh well, that was the initial plan, only my planning sucked a bit. I was supposed to study, sit for my exam and then go for my holiday but instead, I went for my holiday, studied for my exam and sat for it, while trying not to cry because basically, I did not really study and this is a paper that I have flunked the other day. So, you get the whole picture. I thought I was a super woman, when I am not even one fifth of a stable girl. Haha. Started the month with a bang, as my flight to Melbourne was on the first of June. It has been a while since I last traveled with my mother and my sister. It was definitely easier in terms of ehem, financially of course :P but now that I am working, its quite embarrassing to ask money from my mother, even when I am traveling. All in all, it was a very relaxed trip, where we were never in a rush, we get to sit down, have brisk walks and have coffee at any convenient time. I love their coffee culture, where each nook and corner will have its own cafes. Hands down, the best coffee of all time was the very first latte that I had at the italian restaurant named, Toro at Lygon Street. It was just nice! And strong as well. Other than that, the koala, birds and kangaroo were fine. They looked like...animals, I guess. Mom shouted at me for not wanting to feed the kangaroo. I am scared of it, okay. Later, when we came back home, I googled if there's such a thing like fear of animals and there is. ZOOPHOBIA. At least, now I can safely say that I have been to the zoo and I came out alive !! Shopping in Australia was alright, nothing much to buy because it was quite pricey. They kept on insisting that we should not convert because if I were to convert dollar to dollar, the things there are quite cheap. News flash I don't earn in Aussie Dollar, of course I'll convert. Haha. But I managed to find that one thing that I wanted the most, which is the zebra print flats and that was cheap. I should have bought two pairs of the same pattern. Seriously.
It was actually a very relaxed trip, up until I got a Viber message from my current manager asking to come back to work to settle some stuff that just came up, abruptly. Sorry but seriously, I thought it was just not appropriate as those things came up suddenly and it can be settled when I'm back, just according to date that I've planned. That was quite disturbing and I felt bad at the same time. Work, haih. And so, I thought that's the end of my work problem right.. until another problem came along and that will be posted a separate post. Haha.
As for the end of June, I went for another holiday with my batch mates from my firm. It was just a short trip but it was a much needed trip for all of us. We all went to Port Dickson for one night, where all 200 hundred of us stayed there for one night. Imagine going for a holiday, with only people around your age, with no seniors, managers and partners? Hahaha but actually, going with my previous team will be fun as well. Food was great, the games were alright but the scenery was really breathtaking. Now, I bet everyone will think that we are all ready and rejuvenated to go to work. Ha ha ha. The month of June, has been great !
