When's the last time you did something for the first time? Well.. I did something for the first time just now... Had my accounting quiz this morning... and... I handed in a BLANK answer sheet.. I did prepare for the quiz.. But wasn't well prepared for the topic that was tested.. I didn't panic, just felt very useless.. Staring at the paper knowing that I will flunk it was torturous.. A voice in my head told me to destroy the paper and walk out of the test, then get MC to account for my absence... But.. I don't even dare to fake MC, let alone say walk out in front of my tutor.. I hate this lousy feeling.. I hate accounting... My nemesis...


PS: Thanks to Xun and Buikia for cheering me up.. I really appreciate it... =)

Accenture, Here I Come! =)

accenture

I applied for Accenture for my Professional Attachment in May. Didn't pin much hope on it coz usually I don't have much luck in getting my first choice. I was delighted when I receive a phone call one fine afternoon from the Office of Professional Attachment saying that I was shortlisted for interview! They told me that the interview will be held the very next day at 5pm..

The bad news is, I have a dreadful accounting quiz on the same day at around 7pm.. There's no way I can make it for both (unless I can split myself into 2!).. So I told the OPA lady about it and request her to make an alternative arrangement... After my quiz, a week pass... two weeks... no news... I thought there goes my chance... I tried to call OPA but still no news...

Then came another call one fine day to notify me on the interview! Yeah!! (faaast-forwardddd)

After the interview, I was very anxious about the result... Log on to the PA website to check for the name list of candidates selected after the interview... But once again no news... Then last friday before I had the time to do my routine check, Kai called to inform me that I am selected!! I can't describe how happy I was at that time! =)

Anyway, enough of grandmother story.. I'll like to thank a few people here.. Thanks to Xunru, Sobia and Patrick who prep me for the interview.. Thanks to Jeffrey, who told me about Accenture... =)

Yeah! Accenture, here I come!
