shit....no mood to study ....
have a good talk with 4 ppl yesterday .....
so good to meet these guys ...

Background:
edman -- studying PhD in acconutancy after working in PWC for 2 years because he is tired of the competition in the business world (from St Jo)
stephen -- 7 marks in HKCEE, struggling from the bottom and finally get to this mid west Harvaad ( from kowloon wan yan)
eric -- 18, freshman, with good result ( from QC)
freddy -- CU PAC, (from St Jo)
me -- nothing much ( from LSC)

So
edman havent told us so implicitly why he level, but he told us a lot abt the big 4 and the prospect. em... PW and C&L merge become PWC and that's when he arrive at PWC, of coz, after a merger there is a lot of aftermaths, and he follow the wrong boss, and was forced to leave.
b4 only AA have a one firm policy, so it got all killed all over the world. Others are like franchise, and after i read the newspaper, i doubt that is there still any integuity in the business world, kpmg can settle a lot of lawsuit when it did something wrong ... ridiculous, fannie mae should be something big, but still they can settle it.
Edman really got a lot of mo liu knowledge, we talk abt the black society, how did they start their "business" and also the rich people in this school.
Ok, back to PWC, so PWC bought AA (HK)in order to expand its business in china (kpmg US bought AA US), he say that auditing dont have a future, coz big 4 of HK should have merged with big 4 in mainland, and why should they hire a people in HK than a ppl in China?? so i think you need to advance in a very quick pace in order to avoid being beheaded.
although u r a manager with monthly salary of 40 -50 K, but u need to work until 11pm at least, that's not humane and is not a life .... want to make partenr ??? do u have the relationship ??
conclusion -- you are really good, still you need a lot of things.
9K for fresh grad, work until 11pm, if not rise then sack off policy, good experience?? should choose audit, at least it is broader, too narrow is not gd.
seems like every job sucks

yes, it is so easy to talk with them, coz we r from the same type of school. yes, he is rite, may be i grow more faster in LSC then in CU, coz CU really sucks.....of coz it also depends on how much chances you r trying to grab

i wasnt discouraged, i feel excited actually, i m on a track, i know my way, i m optimistic, i m not afraid,
most chinese feels themselves inferior, not knowing enough, the americans always appreciate what they have, they are full of confidence (actually they are idiot)... that's a really good thing to learn..

stephen story is also v interesting, and make me feel that i ve exchange to this school is a good experience coz may be i ve grown up a lot but i dont know

he involuntary goes to UTAH to study for college ( he was in the same school with ar sa after CE in HK), where there is not a single chinese in the city, the closest supermarket is 1 hour away from his home, his first host family is a bit crazy, and the whole city is full of Mormons, who live a very healthy life, no beer, no cigarette.......
then he struggle to MIU and then transfer to this one while he never thought of going to the same sch with his sister (dgs), yes they are right, a person in a foreign place is really hard, especially when you didnt have ppl to depends on. they say some of the ppl they know going to those UC X are still a jerk, those ppl still behave like a HK ppl in those place.

these things may be too subjectives, but ppl experiences are really treasures, arent they ?

Friday,Dec 10 2004, 03:59:51 PMfeel so good.......... I am everything ......

feel so good..........
I am everything .........
so good.......

this is my last day... barely can sleep last night, it wasnt because of last school day, i get a reply from kpmg and it offered me a place for winter internship (from Jan to Mar).
I have planned to get that in August already, and at 1st Dec, I discovered i ve already missed the deadline...but i want it so badly that i make several effort to submit my application, and the good news come today...... yeaaaaaa........

why i want it so badly, first it is bcoz my remaining credits can actually be completed in 2 sem but i dont want to have my last sem in fall, as it is a gap time to find jobs.....so i want something to put in for a half year
second, there is good salary, ahhaa, i not only save a semester tuition fee but can earn back almost a year tuition fee...... but of coz i wont use the money to pay my tuition.....
third, my gf finished her sem at around April, if i didnt and didnt want to get extension of the work, i can have money to find her at the right time, and we can spend the days in east europe which i think must be an excellent place and need to visit asap too, coz i think the new infrastructure will soon tear down the old ones.
fourth, dont need to study again, hahaha, and have my time concentrate on work.
fifth, of coz it is, kind of, you can say is easy to get this internship, you dont need to interview and can have a nice firm in ur resume.. so it is a good chance that never can miss.
sixth, if i cant find any summer job, this will already be something good in my resume, and also i can try something weird as my summer job again also.... i really want to work in a security firm ga, gotta make some connections
seventh, my Uni academic result doesnt reflect my ability, this would be a gd chance for me to show my stuffs, gd, and no gf around, so i can more concentrate on my work.
eighth, prove to my mother than i can get a good job, i think they prefer me to be an accountant which is a profession they believe it will be much more secure.
ninth, have money, can go travelling again.... can buy stocks... can buy LV, can raise my paris travel budget a 100% upward. nice.......

But ........ i still have a lot of procedures or some things to get done when i return HK, like transfer credits, defer matter, summer course, need to see if my course requirement can be finished...... nvm, i always live a dynamic life, i know everyhting in the last minute and still i can get it done. GREAT
