Talk about being thrown to the deep end of the pool to learn how to swim.

So I've been subjected to a couple of steep learning curves of late.

1. Reacquainting myself to driving

On the notorious streets of KL, no less. In all honesty, I haven't driven myself around since Form 5, the year I got my license. It's not a bad place to start off at all! I even drove myself and Karen to work this morning ,all thanks to Zie's parents and Karen who are so willing to let me drive their car and patiently guiding me on the roads.
Well I think I would've attempted to drive more in Adelaide if only Zie's car wasn't that hard to drive.
I've always thought I'll spend my whole life being driven around or taking the public transport. *shudders at the thought of it* And this brings us to the next point,

2. Taking the public bus

I took the bus back from work on Monday. It definitely took me more than an hour to get back when it was only a 10-15minutes ,depending on the traffic, drive back. So I spent God knows how much time looking for the bus stop, asking around and trekking through trecherous terrains to get to the bus stop, 30 minutes of waiting for the bus and another 30 minutes of bus ride. The bus stop was meant to be at KL Sentral but it was actually at the side of the road outside KL Sentral monorail station.

Didn't help that the bus I took came less frequently than all the other buses, so knowing me, I fretted and was close to calling Zie (of all people) for help (meaning I get to scream at him for not being back here so he can pick me up). I couldn't take the cab as well knowing how those bloody bloodsuckers (they get bloody cause they suck all the blood) would charge ridiculously high just because it's near. See, it's not a good thing if you live quite near because they refuse to use the meter and exhort you for money instead. I took a cab home that Saturday night and all those freaks wanted to take RM10. In the end I managed to find one who agreed to take Rm6. Hello! I took a cab back from General Hospital the other day and it was only Rm8 ok??? And it's bloody far relatively like 20-ish minutes by Monorail okayyyy????

Gosh I can go on forever!

See taking the LRT or monorail ain't half as bad. But taking the bus is a whole different ballgame altogether. And please, I DO take public transport. 2 years of taking the MRT and bus in one of the most densely populated city is really nothing compared to taking the bus in KL. -_-
And this disgusting old man beside me but his seat was a bit elevated was clipping his nails away. GRRR! Sigh. Thank God the bus was relatively empty compared to the other ones that were sardine packed. I had enough seats for myself and my 2 bags. And that's the other thing, I feel more vulnerable lugging the laptop bag around. It's so heavy plus I can't leave it in the car!! I don't know how but those idiots have a way of stealing laptops from cars. And I thought my mum was exaggerating until I'm put in her shoes! Grr

Ok, time to move on to

3. Doing an audit by myself.
Well I was initially going to do it by myself until I managed to ask this fellow intern along. Basically doing an audit at the client's place is pretty much what we do. Just that this time my senior asked me to do it myself since it is for a dormant company(which means they don't carry out any financial activities) and it would be really easy. It was pretty daunting at first since I had to it alone but now it's not too bad. I've been given pretty clear instructions so hopefully it'd be alright. Now, the only problem is getting there. Hmm..

I guess that's all for today. The firm is giving us a half day off on Christmas Eve too. Yippity yay!!
