All Four In Me

I've been tagged quite a fair bit this days except that I haven't had the time to go through the tags and write a detailed piece on each of them. Some requires much thought and assessment but some like the one above, which is a tag from Judy, is an easy one to tackle :).

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. A Char lady during my uni-days. I was paid like AUD13 an hour to cook and launder at the residential college I stayed over the winter hols. Our housekeeper was away and since the going rate was good, I thought it might be fun but I wasn't a very good cook - I burned the gravy twice much to the chagrin of my college mates *lol* . I spent most of my loot on this.

2. An audit vacation trainee at a local firm. The money wasn't very good and neither was the experience. I toiled through the peak audit season like some unpaid flunky collecting and shoving files back to the file rooms, making coffee, typing lenthy reports without knowing the content, reconciling income statements and etc. The experience was indeed an eye-opener and something I wouldn't want to go through again.

3. Associate Consultant - The job was great but the boss was not. We all felt that she needed some form of anger management therapy.

4. Managing Consultant - the job that I'm currently at which I think is my forte. I found the job not only challenging but also satisfying to a certain extent.

Four Countries I have been to on vacation:
1.Down Under: We all try to go back once every 2 years. My next trip hopefully would be after June 2008.

2. UK: Was there in 2001 and 2002

3. France: Paris and The Loire Valley. It was really nice having dinner at the Eifel Tower and doing on the mini Chateau tours in the Loire Valley

4. US of A: The land of theme parks and hot dogs *lol*

Four of my favorite foods:

1. Penne Arrabiata

2. Tiramisu

3. Assam Laksa

4. Gewurztraminer Wine

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. At home in bed with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate
2. At home playing with Jeremy and planning our next family vacation
3. At home playing with our latest PS2 games
4. Rollerblading on Manly beach, Sydney

Four friends to tag:
1. Milkmaid
2. Shannon
3. Ponytales
4. Jeremy's Mummy
