友情支援Deloitte Club的同事，順便體驗一下香港的義工工作，今天，參加了Deloitte Club 組織的義工活動，任務是帶一些來自單親家庭的小朋友去一個位于西貢的day camp玩~

 

雯勵mm

我負責的小朋友叫雯勵，用他們阿sir的話來説，就是一個“很漂亮的小女孩”。非常愛吃，第一眼望到她就是在捧住一袋零食在吃。其他小朋友都帶住小背包，唯獨是她只有一袋seven elevent的零食，其他雨傘什麽都沒有。哈哈~~，不過她一點都不胖啦~~讓我羡慕到昏~。小妹妹的家境應該不錯吧，放學還有傭人接送，性格又外向，人又聰明，又有禮貌，基本上看不出單親家庭給她帶來的影響，在一群小朋友當中，絕對是outstanding的。我覺得，這個後生女~~以後一定有出息架！

 

童言無忌

我們一班intern馬首是瞻的HR Staff Irien,好開心甘問其中一個小朋友：“姐姐靚吾靚啊？”小朋友好響亮地回答：“吾靚！”全場笑倒……

雯勵mm說我的眼睛好想韓君婷。……就是怎樣呢？？？努力想像韓君婷的樣子，不會是說我的樣子像厭食吧？？Anyway，韓君婷都算幾靚女既，就當你讚我靚啦! haha~~

 

小人囯

好像很久都沒有回去過小學了，還有感覺香港的小學的桌椅比内地的還要小一個size，好像很可愛的樣子。還有看他們的黑板報和故事書，好可愛的樣子。第一次發現小孩都不是太討厭。

 

Day camp

原來香港都有這麽一些山清水秀，與世隔絕的地方。裏面有各種各樣的文體設施，karaoke,手工藝，自行車，roadlar等等。係一個適合大人細路度假的地方。

The “second” training has begun this week, however, it is my first training in fact. It is my first time to go to Pacific Place Three, Deloitte’s training center, which is even more modern and beautiful than Deloitte’s office in Pacific Place One. It is also the first time that I can leave work on time before 5:30 pm. Somebody said that training is very boring. In my opinion, it is a little boring, but it is OK, and it is like the courses we had in university. At least it is not as boring as “Jingboring” is, haha~. And the courses are very detail and practical. It is very helpful for the work, so I am a little unfortunate to miss the first training.

 

17 of the intern students went to New Way tonight. It is a nice day, and I meet many new friends, including Jessie, Sunny, Tina, and Olivary and many others~. HA~

Idle
Idle again. In fact I have only been idle for about one hour after several days work. But as an intern, we all worry about idle, especially myself. It feels like if for one hour I have nothing to do, I will be crazy about it. We have an interest name to mock the each other-“臃员”…

长洲
Yesterday was a tired day. I went to 长洲with my mother and two of my father’ friends. We had seafood there and walked around the island. The beach is not very beautiful there, but it made me wanted to swim as the weather was very good. The rent there is cheap compared to those in Hong Kong Island. I am planning to bring some friends to go there for one or two days.

Ferry
I was kind of excited that I hadn’t taken a ship for a long time. Yesterday I had enough, about two hours. Watching the ship break the wave was fascinating, and many things come to my mind.

Fire
After a tired journey, and endless escalators around Festival Walk, when I was about to reach the restaurant, suddenly, the fire alarm rang! Without any smoke or fire. And the loudspeaker began to ask people to leave. People were wooden for a while, then some began to run away and some continued eating. I hesitated for a while then decide to leave before I order anything, although I didn’t think there would be a fire. Finally nothing happened, except that I had to buy sushi from super market for dinner…

Finish the article, and still idle…

First OT

Finally have some works to do till 7 pm, partly because of my inefficiency. Task here in Deloitte comes irregularly. I had been idle for the first two days in this week, suddenly in this afternoon, I had 3 “tax com” to do, and they are more complicated than the former ones I have done. In the last two weeks, every time when I left the company 15-20 minutes later then official time, I felt kind of guilty as “Big 4” is famous for its OT. For me, it is just like that if you haven’t experienced OT, you haven’t experienced “Big 4”. Hehe, how silly I am.

 

 

Vincent Tam

My very kind senior manager and mentor, he is a very nice man who always has a big smile on his face and is polite to everybody. Because of some disorder, I was send to the Transfer Pricing Department when I arrived. Then I was placed in the wrong floor. Not until the second week was I moving back to the right place and find my mentor Vincent. That is the story of “小蝌蚪找‘爸爸’”. Today Vincent gave me a task to do some research on“sales tax”as Hong Kong Government is consulting this issue to the public and Deloitte is going to publish some publications. This task is so different from the “tax com”, which most of the intern students are doing, which is complicated too but mechanical. This task is more close to my economics background compared to other accounting students. Haha~ Thank you, Vincent, you are a considerate manager.

 

炎熱天氣警告

The “hot weather warning” is in force in HK for these two days. Unlike in Guangzhou, this kind of weather seems to have no effects on me as I only spend about 30 minutes in open door working to or from work. Life in air condition is wonderful. I will do my best to save the kind of life. Hopefully I can continue this life after the intern.

各位观众，也许你刚刚打开电梯，我们正在海拔2万8千米的场地上直播包子和面条家族的一场大战，这回出战的双方是意大利面和汉堡包。 比赛已经开始了，场面很火爆！双方大胆进攻，大打出手，看上去好像有深仇大恨！我们可以清楚地听见场内的汉堡包在高喊：“别以为烫了头发，我就不认得你！”这些汉堡包几乎都是巨无霸，力量相当惊人，幸好意大利面利用蜷曲的身段和光滑的质地，总能够化解它们的进攻。 大家注意，面条突破了包子的防守，突然出招，直接打在门楣上，门的眉毛呀！太刺激了，包子流血了！噢，不，那不是血，是馅，观众朋友们，原来最后面那个红色的包子是个叉烧包！ 比赛继续进行，双方队员在场上你争我抢，双方的教练———里皮馄饨面和克林斯馒头也在场下争风吃醋。但是看起来，它们谁都没有办法直接把对手置于死地，也许我们马上就可以看到一场终极PK。 天哪，场上发生了惊人的变化，意大利面又一次突破了包子的防守。汉堡包，汉堡包奇怪地不见了！怎么回事？场上的汉堡包突然成了中国的大寿桃，它们把大屁股对着面条，怎么会不挨打呢？ 打中了！伟大的意大利面！它继承了面条的光荣传统。刀削面、炸酱面、阳春面、兰州拉面在这一刻灵魂附体，这一刻它不是一碗面在战斗，它不是一碗面！ 挨了揍的包子，奇怪，看上去像饺子，它们的脸都被揍歪了！饺子还在努力，还在徒劳地奔跑。大家看，面条揍上了瘾，它又来了！它面对那个叉烧包，它面对的是全世界意大利面迷的目光和期待。 哇，又打中了！场上汁水四溅，难道这其实是一个汤包？这一下彻底把包子打得灵魂出窍。 比赛结束了！意大利面获得了胜利。他们没有再一次倒在包子的面前，伟大的意大利面！这个胜利属于面条，属于粉条，属于面线，属于薯条，属于所有热爱意大利面的人！ 汉堡包该回家了，它们不用走很远，全世界都有它们的餐厅，可乐在家里等着它们。再见！ (来源：天涯社区风月葡萄)

 

Now I know what “tax com” is. It is short for “tax computation”. Finishing a “easy” tax com in one day, I am still “in the cloud”. What is funny is that I am the least professional intern among the six interns in my room. But I am the first one who receives the “tax com” task, which is through to have most “technology content”. After me, they began to face this kind of tasks, but they are more complicated cases.

I am a little proud of the tax com I finished, but not very much, as my senior hasn’t given any comment on it. And the case is simple, and I still don’t understand some items in the cases. Again they ask me why I chose Deloitte!! Though they are not hostile, but I have determined to show them my progress and surprise them one month later!! Heng! Work hard!

Busy days come. I haven’t stopped for the whole day, working on the “tax com” something. There are so many jargons I didn’t know, and so many items which I don’t know is used for what. I had to ask the other intern student again and again. About the end of the day, one of them kindly asked, “Iris, are you majored in accounting?” When they knew that I am not, they said “no wonder you don’t understand these issues.”

 

Before, I believe that International Economic and Trade is an all-rounded major that we can go to every department we like in the company except R&D. Also I appreciate that the “big 4” accounting companies don’t care about the major too much in recruitment. But in Deloitte, in HK, most students come from different universities’ accounting department. Also I know that accounting is one of the hottest majors in HK. They have spent years on studying accounting. Without courses like “Deng Theory”, they are already one of the busiest majors in university. One of them told me that without credits of optional course, they already have enough credits in the accounting courses. With these professional training, most of them can find a good job after graduate, for example in Deloitte. Though they are new and not sophisticated, they know what they are doing and learn faster. The most important thing is that, they determined to become an accountant and train themselves towards it. I think this is the difference between us. Also I think this is the spirit called professional. In Guangzhou, studying one major doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to work in it in the future. And wishing to work in some industry doesn’t mean that you have to study that major.

 

After spent three years studying International Economics and Trade, how much have I learned? Am I professional in it? I have to work hard to catch up with them!

Only on today, when I finally have access to the Internet in my dorm, I think I am settle down in HK. Everybody is welcome to contact me through:

 

cell phone: 00852-96867841

MSN: iris_chjw@hotmail.com　(which I use more frequantly in HK)

 

For everyone who is coming to HK, offer accommodation is open, HK$200 per night, with wonderful location closed to the subway and shopping mall. Haha. Just joking~

 

Intern life is regulated, with a little funny, a little interesting, a little boring, and a little lonely. The first few days in Deloitte can be described in some words: "小蝌蚪找媽媽" & "找朋友". Too late to explain. Tell you later if I have time and mood.
