毛頭小咩

因為考試逐漸逼近，陳小咩的精神狀態也逼近瘋狂邊緣
假如不找點發洩，可能會暴飲暴食狂胖數公斤，但又因為一直坐著還會便秘
這幾天我放棄去人多到爆又吵到我理性快斷線的圖書館，蹲在我香噴噴的小窩裡讀書
邊吃水果邊喝咖啡，站著邊做瑜伽邊讀風險管理，六點到七點間準時開飯吃不油不膩營養美味的小咩料理

今天這個劇情是陳小咩因為讀Credit Risk的paper讀到毛快要被我抓掉的時候想的
中午時撥空打了電話回家問沒有愛的爸媽要不要參加畢業典禮
雖然早就知道他們不會參加，但身為孝順的女兒還是要行禮如儀地詢問一下
一如預料地被拒絕了，「矮由，你畢業典禮以後不是還要到處去玩嗎?我去幹麻?」

現在讀書讀到快崩潰的時候，陳小咩最大的消譴便是拿出旅遊書開始望梅止渴
昨天翻到的是雅典這本，翻著翻著突然發現，咦...我們去的那段時間剛好是雅典藝術節耶
哇，這真的太讓我開心了，我以前都不知道有雅典藝術節耶(也可能是我太沒常識了)
不過應該也不用太意外，希臘本來就是擁有悠久藝術歷史的國家呀

是不是快到終點時就會忍不住回頭張望，想知道自己到底走了多遠
發現起點在遠處已經模糊到看不清楚時，忍不住嘆了一口氣：
「就算遍體鱗傷，原來就只是這樣，終究也爬了過來。」
這也許是痛苦過後可以稍感安慰的片刻

陳小咩身為圖書館觀察員，這幾天待在圖書館裡，自然是不敢怠慢職守認真記錄
有好幾個人神共憤的現象，非常值得拿出來大書特書大家一起罵

有些人不知道來圖書館到底目的是啥，屁股像長蟲似的扭來扭去

嗯，這是陳小咩今天在圖書館半睡半醒間想出來的良方
專門用來對付一讀書認真緊張就咬指甲的諸位朋友
請大家務必要嘗試一下

昨天晚上陳小咩做了一個很奇怪的夢
夢到自己養了一隻小狗，很可愛，可是極度不聽話，老是到處大小便
早上便是在夢到牠尿了我一雙貴鞋後驚醒過來
夢裡還有一個人帶著他的貓，邊看我擦地板邊炫耀他的貓超可愛超聽話不用教就會自己大小便了

身為一個精密的會計師，對於身邊的事物一定要有敏感度
隨時隨地都能夠觀查出每個現象彼此之間的關聯以洞察先機
以上兩行廢話的重點在，陳小咩發現每當我畢業的那年世界必然面臨某個很大的困境
導致當年度就業市場極度萎縮，然後陳小咩便成為其中的受害者

話說陳小咩書已經堆到讀都讀不完，只差沒住在圖書館裡，還要分心為心頭肉傷神不已
這麼重的壓力底下，竟然還要承受蘿拉的嘲笑，說我識人不清愛不對人
嗚嗚，心頭肉你放心，身為你的粉屎一定會幫你做出反擊的
即使它很微弱，也是我愛的表現呀~

Letter of Motivation

In the academic year of 2007 I had been accepted by the programme of Accounting and Finance. I made a decision to defer my enrollment to later year because I was just promoted in March 2007. The promotion gave me a chance to a practice team that I may exercise capability in leadership, problem solving and service delivery. During the last six moths I am confirming my plan for career development, and I believe that I am ready to pursue the master degree in 2008. To achieve my future career goal of providing diversified services for clients, I need to expand my professional knowledge with systematic training. The postgraduate programme of Accounting and Finance offered by your institution offers me an opportunity in combination of accounting and finance to sharpen my expertise in providing professional services and advisory to clients.

I have been working in the Tax Department of XXX for four years. My primary focus in XXX is tax saving, a hot topic for wealthy people in Asia , especially in Greater China. In addition to providing tax services for my clients, I am responsible for cooperating with relation managers (RM) from private banking, such as UBS, to deliver turn-key solutions. By providing customized solutions containing financial and taxation opinions to meet clients’ requirements, I successfully build a network, maintain good relationships with clients, and gain reputation in taxation field. As my practical experiences growing, I realize that just using the flaws in current tax law for tax saving is not good enough. In some complicated projects which I cooperated with RMs of private banks, I realized that the adequate use of sophisticated financial products is powerful and safe in legal when facing new challenges. For instance, Taiwan government requires enterprises to expense the employee stock options in 2008. The change in regulation has greatly impact to financial performance of most high-tech companies, especially to their EPS. One of the RMs in Julius Baer discussed with me and together we designed a special option product to lock EPS in a certain range. This product helped solve issues of certain clients and won their trust. In this case the ingenuity and flexibility of financial products impressed me very much. With the combination of different professional areas, I can do more and deliver more to my clients.

Letter of motivation

When I completed the Master degree of Accounting in 2003, I have determined my career goal of becoming a professional accountant. After having nearly four years of work experiences in taxation and other related fields, I have enhanced my original determination of providing multi-dimensional services for clients. In order to further expand my existing professional knowledge within this field, I have devoted myself to applying both theory and practice to perform my professional duties. The postgraduate programme of Law offered by your institution provides a rare opportunity that I would love to cater. I believe it is important to have a through understanding on tax law to build up my expertise as well as to fulfill each individual customer’s needs.

I have completed a Bachelor and Master degree of Accounting in National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2001 and 2003. With great interests in Tax Law, I took several related subjects, such as tax law, contemporary tax issues, and seminar on accounting and taxation topics. These courses had provided me a preliminary concept in regards to tax law. To further expand my practical experience, I have joined the voluntary taxation service to help people in filing tax returns. In three days, almost one hundred people consulted me about their tax issues. However, I found that most people lack the understanding of tax law and fear to face it, no matter how old and how wealthy thXXX are.

今天Rita跟陳小咩說，之前學長姐告訴她在LSE學不到東西
我們異口同聲地大罵：「屁啦!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

是哪一位黑心的學長姐誤導大家??在LSE要想辦法讀很多書搞死自己實在不是件難事

嗯，我想圖畫已經將我的心情表達得很清楚了
就是明天要開學了，換句話說，距離期末考也越來越近
這兩天陳小咩的腎上腺素激增，在兩天內飆完風險管理三章
感覺相當踏實，覺得不負此生了，所以今天特地畫出豪華加長版以感謝所有讀者

隨著考試一步步逼近，最近這一段時間陳小咩可謂進入了緊張焦慮的階段
晚上常常都睡不著，這已經是很久沒發生的事，
來到倫敦後我正為自己每次旅行在車上飛機上無入而不自得的睡姿感到驕傲
睡到被其他人笑說我應該列名A&F最愛睡第二名(還是遠遠輸給第一名的Ichng)

這個應該是這兩天在倫敦Piccadilly Circus拍的
為了幫Beyonce十一月的倫敦演唱會廣告，相當地酷
這一陣子倫敦天氣都不錯，我們卻都待在家裡猛K書
可惜Piccadilly Circus就在我家附近的說，沒去溜韃真的是對不起倫敦呀

嗯，今天陳小咩鬼混了很久，早上起了個大早，和Icheng秘密去參與了一個邪教的活動
整個活動長達三個半小時，我從一開始小心翼翼觀查四方
到最後大搖大擺怡然自得，陳小咩融入環境的能力也不算是太低
但在參與邪教過程當中，不小心吸入了不詳的氣味，

喜歡上可以在傘裏靠近你的雨天
喜歡上可以靜靜反覆想著你的黑夜
喜歡的感覺就像曬過太陽的棉被
帶著一種溫暖的香味

話說這個春假陳小咩除了讀書以外，最重要的事就是減肥了
我想減肥的重要性可能還高過讀書吧

戒掉心愛的巧克力餅乾，不管Tesco現在正在買一送一，所以最近要繞路不可以經過Tesco

剛到倫敦的第一個星期陳小咩便買了一盆粉紅色的小花放在窗台
每天含莘茹苦地照顧它(其實它冬天大概一個星期才要澆一次水....)
它是我早上一開窗會看到的第一樣東西，粉紅色花開滿盆，迎風搖抑相當讓人激賞

昨天跟法國南部奮戰的同時，旅遊趴突然提醒我關於申根滯留期限的問題
想當初捷克大使館非常阿莎力，給了我半年45天的申根，讓我銘感五內感激涕零
為了表達我對捷克衷心的感謝，旅遊期間超想在那裡買一顆捷克鑽石報答他們的恩惠
不過即使是在捷克，鑽石依舊是不能像咖啡一樣隨便點了就隨身帶走的價格，讓我報憾好一陣子
