work was busy busy busy and i love how busy it is because by the time i look at the clock, the day is almost over. all the paychecks are finally sealed and ready to be distributed tomorrow. and perhaps maybe i never really explained my job to anybody, but i handle payroll and accounts payable at my workplace. a little of HR and misc here and there. its the starbucks coffee, pictures

and PAYCHECKS!.. of course there's the passion for my job as well which i dont know what picture may fit that. =P

i run payroll twice a month and believe me that would take up most of my days in a week. what i do is print and manage the timesheets. i distribute the timesheets to the directors to check and make sure the staffs clock in and out correctly or fill out missing punches. about 2-3 days, depending on the directors' schedules, they will hand me the corrected time sheets including sick leaves, tax

changes, time adjustments, vacation request, evaluations or information update. i will take a day or two to add all the additional information to kronos timekeeper and change/ update details as received. after properly reviewing everything, i let my administrator check and approve the final timesheets and after that, i run payroll. printing the checks and reports accordingly. after everything is done, thats when the paychecks are being released. then i head back to remit the 401 (k) and credit union contributions.

once payroll's all done for the pay period, i would work on accounts payable. entering all the invoices and making sure its entered into the correct chartered accounts and then do another check run for bills the company have to pay. so technically payroll and AP are both run twice each a month. on certain months, i have to prepare some reports or taxes to be done. like the DE6 every quarter of the year, form 941 and etc. besides these two, i'll help tom with some reports and maintain some HR stuffs for the staffs.

its really not that complicated once you get the swing of it. ok before i bore myself with work again, i'll talk about something else.

i was driving home earlier, i think someone tried to abandon their dog, and that poor dog is chasing after the car as it drives off. that is so cruel and heartless. dogs have feelings too. i know for sure i will never abandon hunter or tiffany like that. they are my pride and joy. despite all the chewing, barking and taking up all the space in bed, i love them to bits and pieces. i will never leave them. watching someone ill treat their pets makes me sad and i cannot imagine doing such cruel things to my pets. the apartment across me leaves his dog out on the patio with a chain strapped on his neck. that gives the dog limited space to move around. what makes it worst is that it is so freaking hot and that poor puppy have to endure that. owners like that should never never ever have pets to begin with. if you cant love them, then dont have them.

guess what i found in my old pictures archieve...?? old pics like duuuhhh!! i'll post some pictures which brought back fond memories of people i shared part of my life in malaysia. =)

my cousin tracy, has always been the greatest friend i can only dream off, and what

more, she's my cousin. i get to see her almost everyday back then and oohh having her around during boring family dinners and all is definitely fun and something to look forward to. she has all the funny facial expressions which makes you laugh and laugh. and i remember playing mahjong with her for hours... and once it gets to a certain time, i think 1:30am, she'll go crazy and do all sorts of funny stuffs.

its been such a nice weekend for me. yesterday, i kinda woke mike up early to head so south coast, to get his shoes and black pants. we then head on to ikea for a tv stand for our bedroom. there were some fancy ones but we decided to get this black which only cost 12.99 hehe. i watched some dvds while in bed and believe

me, i felt like im at a hotel.. i have my marriot bed, my tv and ciggs on my side table. what more can i ask for ahhhh.... =) we should have gotten the table sooner.. i guess we only decided that we "have to" to get the table and set up the tv since mike stopped playing wow and trust me, he's been hogging the tv ALOT. the tv used to be MY entertainment. MINE! hehehe

zach came over for lunch and some video games. well technically i know he's here only to see hunter... sheesh but id like to say he come to see me because he misses his big sister! i didnt get to cook anything for him this time.. i think the last i made for zach and averly was my butter shrimp. instead this time, i got some long john silver stuffs. its a little salty and lots of fried stuffs, but hey its been a while since we ate there.. its better than mcds or something.. and of course mike and his ever loving taco bell. back to the point, despite all the great technology like the wii, the 360... nothing beats my childhood time shared with my brother playing super mario on nintendo. i remember we used to play it when we were kids. we so have to get the aladdin one.. THAT is one of our classic favourites. maybe i'll look it up ebay and get it.

what can i say, its sunday again, and tomorrow it is back to work. dont get me wrong. i love work! i seriously do. i enjoy my workload and im really interested in accounting. nobody would have thought id be doing what im doing today.. i hate math. i hate calculation back in school. i only score best in languages and the rest is history. i realise, if you love what you do, you tend to enjoy going to work more. EXCEPT the fact that you get loads and i mean loads of food there. its kinda hard trying to lose some weight there. people always think that food in hospitals are for sick people and its yucky but believe me, my boss tom certainly did a fantabulous job in making the quality of food excellent. i hardly go out for lunch to buy food.. i usually eat what i have at work. we have pasta, fish, chicken.. and all the main dish comes which drinks, salad and dessert. how awesome is that? people i work with is superbly nice as well.

it was akward at first when melissa and i stopped talking. it is akward because we share the same office.. but well, i dont know what when wrong but what can i say, if thats the way its gonna be..thats how its gonna be. im sad on how things turn out. because i love melissa to death.. not only she recommended me this job.. and im forever thankful for her. if its not because of her, i'll probably be living in kentucky right now.. but also she's been my one of my closer friends since i migrated over here. but as long as she's happy, thats all matter. all i can do is try not to make it so hostile at work. =)

and see! i have some pics posted finally!

I have always dread for mondays since its always more relaxing in during the weekends. I cant believe its Thursday tomorrow! yay! since it has been a while i'll update my weekend outings and so forth. i wish to post pictures but i havent really got the time to do so. mike just reformated the computer and its a pain to have to install everything again one by one. i wanted to load some pictures i took through my blackberry but guess i have to install the cd as well..and guess why i cant do such simple thing? my lil puppy chewed on it. there's bite marks all over.... im still bugging mike to look for the other cd since we both got blackberries. till i find it, i cant post much pictures here.

last weekend was a little tiring for me since my uncle and aunt came down from pittsburg. bought them some starbucks, light shopping to show the around orange county and some dim sum. and i did all that because of my mother. for her. not for them.

mike and i spent the whole sunday at the beach. the weather was actually gorgeous. i love the weather when it is not extremely hot, you can feel the sun but yet feel those breeze. i love the fact that i live so close to the ocean. i remember back in malaysia, if you wanna go to the beach, you have to plan a trip to port dickson, cherating, or whatever for a cheaper vacation. if you have more money, you'd go to langkawi, redang or pangkor. i remember staying at avillion village. one of those suites on the sea itself. i love the layout and the hotel itself. i remember it was pretty pricy for malaysians as well. honestly, the hotel itself was beautiful, breath taking but the sea.... the sea was disgusting, dirty and gross. you see empty cans, bottles trash, wrappers or whatsoever. ok. im still a malaysian i shouldnt de-grade my country.

on the other hand, im glad the weekend is coming again. i'll probably be heading to ikea to buy a table or however you call it, for my tv in my room. that tv has been sitting there for months. now that mike stop playing wow and utilize the tv in the living room more to play halo2, i think its better to be able to watch dvd in the bedroom. innitially i was thinking of putting my wii in the room, but i dont think it would be such a wise idea since playing the wii require movements and the bed wouldnt really work. i guess we'll see what happens.

on saturday hopefully, i'll have time to organize my pictures and post some pictures up.
