After SPA Academy
Yenny and I were very exhausted, because we arrived at Sunday evening and the next monday morning we have to work. I still have one pending job and also already been assigned to new client, Petrochina. eeek, welcome back to the jungle. After all, I just want to thank's God for the so many opportunities that have given to me since I work for this company. I also just realised that lately I didn't put so much focus on my spiritual life. Just feel a bit empty and regret. I am really appreciated to Hanvy, my ex-flatmate and church mentor who have reminded me to put back my priority on GOD again.
A7 SPA Academy.
On 25 September, Although I still have one pending job, I departed to Bangkok with Yenny. The flight took about three hours. We were picked up by hotel limousine..wow..Yenny and I were really amazed hehe, because it was our first time to ride such a luxury car. During the journey from airport to hotel we observed the city. It looks quite similar with Jakarta except for its advertisement boards full with curly characters (read: Thai words) hehe.
After 45 minutes, finally we arrived at Shangrila hotel. We have been told that there would be an opening speech and dinner from the Academy commitee. It was really a great opportunity that we can attend this event. Besides we would gained many knowledge relating to the course that we attended, we also have a chance to meet other PwC members from various Asian countries. At least we can listen sharing from other members to gain more understanding about current technology and work development compared with our Jakarta office.
During the training week, we never have chance to explore Bangkok city. We just stayed at the hotel. Overall for the hotel service I would say Great, no wonder because the fee is also really great too (it is a five star hotel). Especially for the food, all of them are very very tasty, gain more weigh during staying here.. :P Further during the training, we also had a phototaking session and cruise session.
Finally the training finished on friday, we extend one day for exploring Bangkok before flying back to Jakarta. We started from have a boat tour along chao praya river. There were a lot of temples that we can see along the rivers. No wonder Thailand is a buddhist country. Then we visited Grand Palace, it was really great and very gold. After walking around 3-4 hours we came back to the hotel to take a rest for while, then we continued to go to a traditional market, I forgot the name. Unfortunately the weather was not so coorperative, so we waited for about one hour at the station. When we arrived at the traditional market we were a bit disappointed because it was far from what we imagined. Then we decided to go to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, this market was quite nice and entertaining. Then The next day we flight back to Jakarta.
Overall the trip to Bangkok was quite entertain to release our stress a bit. Thank's for our Thai friends, Kanta and Nuch for their hospitality while we were in Bangkok and have recommended us some nice places to go in Bangkok.
September after fieldwork.
Since August our firm has entered the busy season for year 2005. Everyone has been scheduled to perform audit works for specified clients. Last August as I have written that I was assigned to Oil mining company and Semen Gresik afterwards. Then finally I came back to Jakarta. I felt a bit release when I came back to Jakarta. Home sweet home. However, the situation is not as beautiful as I thought. Sometimes the workload in Jakarta is more intense when perform audit work at out of town. It is due to occasionally we need to take care more than one client, while if we work outside Jakarta is more focus on a specific client. Hence, while I was still completing the documentation for Caltex and Semen Gresik, I have been assigned to another client, Adira Finance. Quite often we are forced to do multitasking.
I have only one and half week to accomplish the work for this new client. Other than that I was assigned to help my collegues to perform a parttime audit work at another client, Hero. All of the work need to be accomplish before departing to Bangkok for training. Hmmm, I was told by my collegue, Yenny, that both of us were assigned to attend A7 SPA academy in Bangkok. While waiting for departure approval, we worked hard trying to accomplish all the task in time. Unfortunately, until the last day before we departed I still have one pending job, due to the client gave me uncompleted data so I cannot verify the process flow.
