Assalamualaikum and hi everyone.
Welcome back
to my channel – My Crystal.
Some of you
were asking me about my condition to my new workplace, hence this is my
detailed reply. Peace.. (“)(^_^)(“)
I am a rule
based person. I love taxes very much. I like knowing all the rules related to
taxes, whether it is deductible or not, whether it is claimable as qualifying
expenditures or not and what is the tax planning so that we can be in
compliance with taxes rules but at the same time with paying lesser pay to the
tax authority. This is what we called tax avoidance – which means avoiding the
tax but by adhering to the laws. You really need to be good with the tax
standards.
I noticed my
love for taxes has been growing ever since I took ACCA papers (F6- Malaysian
Taxation and P6- Advanced Taxation). Then the love continue grows when I have
been promoted to Senior back then during my audit life where I was in charge
mostly for complex sections like reviewing inventory and tax. Again, tax is
like becoming so important and huge in my life.
And that is all that matters.
Until then,
Bye bye and have a nice day ahead!
p/s: have you
smile and say selawat today?

How are you?
I am good Alhamdulillah.
Emotionally and physically.
I am so
happy.. Reason being is of course, number one is I can go home earlier as
compared to the time when I was an auditor. I can cook every day. Yeay!. It is
not because I had to cook, but because I want to cook. See the differences. My
husband always advices me that if I am exhausted, he doesn’t mind eating
outside. But for me, cooking is like a therapy. I am enjoying the process and
preparing good food. Even though it’s just two of us. So yeah..
The distances
of my current workplace to my home is just around 15 to 20 minutes. I am
actually taking my sweet time during the ‘back home’ journey it is really near.
I am extremely grateful. Alhamdulillah.
There was this
one time that I went back home around 8.30pm at the office and my colleagues
said that it is too late. I am like are you freaking serious?? Haha. My normal
time to go home is around 5.30pm to 6.30pm. At least my target is I can perform
Maghrib prayer at home. But I admit during the closing period, I will need to
stay longer but the cut off is like 10pm. So having the peak vibes once in a
while makes me even more grateful with my current job. And it’s just two days
in a month.. Alhamdulillah.
The stress
levels are very much tolerable and manageable. I need to handle ad hoc matter
for the company but seriously it is not difficult, at all. (Maybe because my
benchmark is the audit life, so this one will be very much easier).
Frankly
speaking, transitioning from being an auditor to an accountant is not an easy process.
There are a lot of systems that I need to master within a short time of period.
System to post journal, system to pull full set of accounting report, system to
attach the supporting document, training database and etc. You name it.
Alhamdulillah,
I have been blessed with a lot of helpful and nicest colleagues ever. They are
willing to accept me joining the finance team and guiding me during my transition.
And I believe
my excel skills actually expedite my learning and working process too. Well
there are just simple excel formulae like ‘VLOOKUP’ , ‘PIVOT’, ‘SUMIF’, ‘SUBTOTAL9’,
but these formulae are very important to get things done. I am glad that the
excel tricks will still be useful and beneficial to my current post.
What is your
current job scope?
I am a local tax
person for the company. I need to deal with all different types of taxes that
my company had to adhere and comply with. I handle tax expenses, deferred
taxes, withholding taxes, transfer pricing as well as sales and service taxes.
I am also will
be the key person that my superior will refer to for any accounting updates. I
believe being ACCA member is not adequate to become a top notch chartered
accountant. I need to keep up with latest accounting updates and not being
adamant for the change. Change is inevitable and if I am not being updated with
the changes, I might be left behind. Right?
Do I missed my
former firm?
Yes and No.
Yes, I missed
the office building. I missed waiting the KTM and complaining about it (lol). I
missed standing inside the KTM for one hour and a half when I got no seat in
KTM. I missed the hustle and bustle in KL Sentral as well as Nu Sentral. I
missed walking to the office. I missed lunch at Bank Rakyat (haha). I missed
doing audit. I missed literally everything. Working in Big 4 for four solid
years is no joke and how funny I am to tell myself and to tell you that I
missed them.
Don’t forget
the No.
No, I don’t
miss the heavy workload. I don’t miss the crazy deadline. I don’t miss peak
period. I don’t miss the nasty clients. I don’t miss staying back at client’s
place. I don’t miss working on weekend every day. I don’t miss the need to continue
working when I reach home.
Some people,
when they resigned from the big firm. They don’t actually know what they want
in life. They opted to join commercial and later on, they will be joining the
firm again. Reason being is because they are passionate with audit but the
passion in them has been blurred with the intolerable stress that they faced
every day. Then when they are being less challenged, they are kind of missing
the hectic life that they had before.
There are a
lot of things going on in my life and my ultimate goal is to find my inner
peace. Meaning that I want my prayer to be more focused and not being with
distracted with working thingy. If you got what I mean.
So I guess
that’s about it.
Talk to
yourself and know what you want in life.
Find His
blessings in every step that you take in life. And that is all that matters.
Bye bye and have a nice day ahead!
