Well, find out today!
According to The Great Career Judge-rer – more fondly referred to as Ah Beng here in Tinki Land – being in any one of the two career paths-slash-industries-slash-lines we're about to mention pretty much guarantees that you've got yourself front row seats to a lifetime of career boredom. Tee hee.
Pam Song: *turns to ask Ah Beng while replying a comment from a previous post* Hey, what's the other one ah?
Ah Beng: What other one?
Pam Song: There's EY, PwC, Deloitte... hmmm, and? I can't remember the last one right now. My mind's blank. There's only one more. You can remember?
Ah Beng: Oh. Hmmm. Deloitte I know lah. It's a computer company.
Pam Song: @_@ Hello!? Computer??? It's an accounting firm lah.
Ah Beng: Same lah! All these boring office people. All the same!
*rolls eyes*

INTERMISSION
The rest of this transcript was deemed too saucy by the Blog Censorship Authority for general reading.
ATTN: Jeffro
– HAHAHA. You know, I believe you! Haha.
ATTN: Chris
– HAHAHAHAHA. Made me laugh my head off, wei. Haha. Damn funny. Do continue! And I'll even ask Ah Beng to come in and read. =p
yeah it's pretty boring actually... that's y i've left the profession and will go into acting...
was offered a role(s) in Red Cliff Part 3... it's all on my latest blog post, if u wanna know more...
and beng,
if you ever find yourself walking alone late at night down some dark and forsaken alley... watch your back...
ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Ooo! You're an aspiring actor? My friend is now with KLPac doing Ismail the Musical. Haha. She also left her job to try performing arts.
Should Ah Beng watch his back? Or his backside?
eh, the acting thing just joking la... obviously u never go and read... but u obviously very busy, so forgive you...
beng's backside... he can keep for himself la... i dun wan!
ATTN: Andrew Chua
– I went in! I saw the poster thingy you did. But you never write anything also...
Ah Beng wants to whore himself. He dun want me to promote. =p
hey, im doing accounting actually.
and due to my past working(Toyota) experience, it is pretty much true.
however, it only applies if youre in the accounts and finance dept, audit, or banking line.
there are many other career prospects which are available to accountants.
eg: corporate recovery, financial planning, managerial accounting.
those are the more fun(stressful and involves critical thinking) ones.
and, accountants always have jobs. in recession, theyre needed to keep companies alive. when the economy is blooming, theyre needed to make the most out of the economy.
so, yeah...
p/s: in general though, accountants aint really fun people. you could only find perhaps a few in the whole bunch of em'.
eh that one is Red Cliff poster... U know, Red Cliff... THE blockbuster in cinemas right now... Obviously i can't be starring in that right... Haih... no one gets my joke... Sad Sad... :(
really should just be a boring accountant and dun attempt the funnies... =p
he wanna whore himself... why dun wan you promote? should be grateful if you did wat... ?
accounting boring?!
this is my 3rd yr in accountancy
so yeah, is a bit boring
hahaha :P
Ok now back to the real topic... Why is accounting perceived as boring?
1. When we work, we really work. No such thing as slouching around the office with nothing to do.
2. The above work is very mundane and repetitive.
3. Work days range from 10 to 20 hours per day.
4. There is no room for creativity. Creative accounting is a crime. Punishable by law. You'd be, like... jailed...
Why accounting can sometimes be interesting:-
1. We get to see all areas of a business, from operations to finance to sales.
2. We sometimes get to ride on helicopters (To count oil at oil rigs).
3. We get to enter high-tech plants (yeah, again, to count stuff).
4. Guys, the accounting profession is full of the fairer sex...
ATTN: Roshann
– I think if you're not a consultant or a manager of some sort, life in accounts must be pretty mundane. Cos before you go into the whole critical thinking rescue work stuff, you do the leg work. And that's pretty much a guarantee when it comes to the first few years in the business, no?
But it's true what you say about accountants always having jobs. Demand's always there. Thing is, there are so many commerce graduates around, too. Though... I guess it's still fine if you're not picky cos people jump so much in the business. Unless they're bound by T&Cs lah, of course.
I think I'm confusing myself with all this banking talk. Haha.
But the bottom line is this: unless you get to do the BRAIN work, you're dispensable in the business. Easily replaceable.
And I get what you mean about accountants not being very fun people. They're very by-the-book. And they aren't very into spontaneity. And so calculative! But that's the majority lah. Haha. (A few people I know are in and were in that industry. They're not that bad.)
ATTN: Robin
– Haha. Third year. Not bad. My friend is just past her 1st year and she's dying already. Haha.
ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Haha. Whoops. I tak dapat that joke. =p
And Ah Beng mau jaga muka only lah. Haha.
And bloody hell, you think when we work we dun really work wan ah??? Grrr. And in some other industries, the work days extend past the normal 8 hours, too!
"There is no room for creativity. Creative accounting is a crime. Punishable by law. You'd be, like... jailed..."
Now, this one, I find funny. Haha.
And yeah. I think that there are more girls than there are guys in this industry.
from where we left ah beng n jeff earlier, they were locked in an affectionate glance at each other. Still at Brokeback Mountain by the fire. This is a toned down version for general reading.
Ah Beng: Jeff, you juz tasted my nicely marinated sausages, wait till you have a taste of my balls, my swedish meatballs. My balls have a variety of different sauces.
Jeff: MMmmm balls, tell me about your balls. Thinking bout it juz makes my mouth waters.
Ah Beng: Would you like to see my balls now?
Jeff: Wow, you have some beautiful balls n they are bigger than i expected.
Ah Beng: (kiasuly says) A lotta people tell me that. I make sure all my balls get plenty of oil.
Jeff: Can i touch your balls?
Ah Beng: Sure, but they're very delicate.
Jeff: MMmmm, I cant wait to get my mouth around your balls.
Ah Beng: Jeff, my balls are here for your pleasure.
Jeff: wow, they are so tender!!!
Ah Beng: They are made from the secret Ah Beng Family Recipe.
And there you have, some quality time between Ah Beng n Jeff, finishing the whole sac of Ah Beng meatballs, before they got even more intimate...
ATTN: Chris
– OMG. *gag*
many boleh boring....in office got so many departments mah.....when boring, we go scout around at the department with most girls....Tee Hee! Finance & HR! =P
Errm,
Ah Beng & Jeff, please take it as a light-hearted delightful blabber,k! No erotic imagination was incurred and no brain cells hurt during the conception of the story.
The 2nd part of Brokeback was based on a comedic sketch. Titled, "Schweaty Balls"

I was only gone for a day, and my entire day was exposed.. Ah beng ar!!
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Boys are terrible.
ATTN: Jeffro
– HAHA. I don't think it's Ah Beng's fault. Chris yang syok sendiri. Haha.
ATTN: Tinki
Yes, it seems they'd grown more passionate bout each other.
yea, me syok sendiri only and anybody else laughing along would be quite nice as well. Ahhh, Laughter, nice to meet you.
ATTN: jeffro
Oh, the stories were quoted from a semi autobiography that Pam asked me to type out here titled, "At That Mountain II: Curiosity by the fire and the Ah Beng Secret Swedish Meatball Recipe". Just some stories on two cowboys and their excapades with bbq-ing sausages and meatballs. Its relli for food enthusiast.
haha.. Can see that oso.. Chris mmg SS weih.. HEHE XD
wei! Apa terible?! We go there pose pose a bit for the girls to see and in return we see them lor....fair right! Wkakakaka! =)))
ATTN: Chris
– Haha. It's official. You've lost it.
COME BACK, CHRIS!!! DON'T WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND!!!
ATTN: Jeffro
– I dunno if Ah Beng read already or not, actually.
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– You pose you sure got ppl look or not? Or you ter-walked into the men's toilet and it's your reflection starring back at you? =p
Haha.. Nvm.. I dun he nids to read it.. But if he did.. he'll probably ROFLHAO
Interrupted from reaching to that shinning Light... awoken and shaken but not stirred.
Wow, look at the carnage that my alter ego, Evil Smevil Chris, did, i mean written. Comic relief at the expense of Jeffro and Ah Beng.
I'd enjoyed writing it and i hoped u all had a good light-hearted laugh (spins the left hand forward and makes humble bow) .
There's another chapter called, "Screww your nuts harder, Jeff, the Hazel Nuts i.e., what kind of nuts were you thinking?". But I guess that's enough... for now. HAHAHAHA. :p
Chris: I dunno weih.. I tot of Coco-nuts.. ^_^
Before toilet, I see them. Inside toilet, I see myself "Chewah! You look great!"
After toilet, the pretty ladies look at us.....Wahahahaha! Engineering company turns into modelling agency liao.....Everyday fashion shows =P
ATTN: Jeffro
– Haha. Maybe I ask him to go read when I see him next. =p
ATTN: Chris
– Evil Smevil Chris? Puh-leeze. Real men own up to bloody massacres. =p
p/s: Don't you do that hand spinning thing with your RIGHT hand? I'm not sure. Just checkin.
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Wah, your whole comment suddenly so salah after I read Chris' comment. HAHAHAHA. Tiba tiba only x-rated. =p
Haha.. It'll surely brighten his day.. He'll be in for a surprise.. Kekeke
pumps up da chest and pounds it
Yes, I'm da man! I did it! No chickening out from me.
P/S: Ermm, I'm a southpaw, so everything's da wrong way around. Southpaws are an misunderstood species and often ignored by society.
No left handed scissors, No lefties ironing board, No lefties mouse, No lefties fruit peeler. Look! There's parking space for the disabled, toilets for the disabled and even Olympics Paralympics for the disabled. The world is so unfair. Heh
=.=" @ Chris..
Weih there's lefty mouses.. My fren has 'em.. Aren't the rest bi-sided?
but LOL @ the others you've compared! hahaha
I juz missed this..
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Wah, your whole comment suddenly so salah after I read Chris' comment. HAHAHAHA. Tiba tiba only x-rated. =p
I beg your pardon, Tinki !!!
All I wrote was juz some story about two cowboys and their love of food:
marinated sausages, balls... swedish meatballs i.e. , and nuts... Hazelnuts.
And reading them led to some x-ratedness?? That's just so wrong!
Attn: jeffro,
Neva came across a lefties mice. But the point is, why are lefties forced to live as righties, when they are both hands, and of the same color, but the opposite direction. Rights for Lefties, Right to Lefty.
Haha.. Chris... u should start an ALF (ALL-LEFTIES-FEDERATION) or SRP (Southpaws' Rights Party) wootz!
ATTN: Jeffro
– Haha. He read already. And we have a video prepared for you. When I free I post lah ya. =p
ATTN: Chris
– I have a thing for lefties. And sometimes, I wish I was a leftie. (I know, I'm sick.) Heard that most of them are really musical and artistic, though. And I see some truth in that too when it comes to my friends.
And come on lah. Admit it. What you said was salah. SALAH!!! Boleh menyebabkan orang lain salah tafsir dan salah faham!!
WAH! video for me?? *awwwh* Im so flattered and touched.. Thank you guys..
=P
ATTN: Jeffro
– Haha. You don't thank you thank you yet. Wait and watch first. =p
LOL.. nid to be polite wan..
Sumore I'm in for a surprise wor.. Sure la must thank you thank you first.. ^_^
*eager to see the vid*
ATTN: Jeffro
– A lot of the ppl are waiting for that video actually. But... Ah Beng dun let me post!
Aiyah i was juz teasing u la, acting innocent pretend dumb and make u awkward, accusing u of da x-ratedness.
Hahaha, ppl always say those things bout southpaws bout artistic n musical. If u r not exposed to a musical environment n so forth, its never goin to show up. Neither am i a good artist or musically sound (need a good frontal cortex, front part of da brain to be good musically, that i read la). I can help to dispel that myth bout lefties being artistically sound. U r fine as a rightie! Its the same same. But i do yearn to become a comic actor somthing like Will Ferrell, Stephen Colbert & Conan O' Brien. Dont think u'd heard of the latter two but they are very good wif verbal plays, sketches n they co-write them too.
What? your frens on theatrical circuits or singers?
ATTN: Chris
– Haha. But it's true about them southpaws! It's trueee!!! They pick it up easier. It's the right brain left brain theory at work.
I've heard of Conan O'Brien. His famous joke is kotor wan. Haha. I'm a total blur when it comes to Stephen Colbert though.
I've got friends in theater. Singers and actors. Musicians also got but not so much and not so close. Why?
Ah beng.. how can you hide such things away from me?? *sobs sobs* I tot there's no secret between us..
LOL!
Wow, that means me is talented by default, N that i should audition for American Idol or Dancing wif da Stars or Astro Xing Siew Da Sai or watever talent show that there is? But theater is relli cool la. To get into character n perform.
N me was juz wondering how's the scene there now.
Conan is not kotor la, its smart and witty, U dont know what is comedy!
ATTN: Jeffro
– Dun make his bulu roma naik can or not? Haha.
ATTN: Chris
– And yes, it means you're talented by default. So... if you artistically end up amounting to nothing, it means that you're super useless. (Wah, at first Super Katak, now Super Useless. -_-)
And Conan is kotor lah!
U r very very very very naughty today har! to infinity!
Ah beng bulu roma naik? Cold ar?
he is in nid of some warm TLC..
LOL!
ATTN: Chris
– Haha. I can't help it. It comes naturally when I'm stressed. Haha. The sarcasm is dying to come out!
ATTN: Jeffro
– Haha. TLC? Definitely not from you lor. HAHA.
why not from me.. discrimination ar??
HAHA
*i bet his bulu roma all dropped out*
