quotable quotes..

just a little something to add before I do my publishing.. saw this Biore Perfect Face Milk at Cold Storage the other day. It's this sunblock from Biore.. nice bottle! When watson's today to see if they sell.. They do! I wanna buy! Quite surprising actually.. cos they actually imported quite a bit of Biore's japanese products.. For those of you who dunno, Biore is quite a big brand in Japan.. and there's much more to it than just those tubes of facial washes.. haha.. Can't decide if I should finish my current bottle of sunblock first or just go ahead and buy this now..

ok .. here are the quotes.. my job has ended.. and it's time to get listed!

Quotable quotes!

A: Is the OM the one who approves the cheques?
B: No, it’s one of the authorized signatories.

A: Can you pass me the walkthrough?
B: Do you want this year’s or last year’s?
A: Any one will do if they’re the same.
B hands over last year’s walkthrough, and A reads thru it.
B: Last year’s is not very complete.
A: ???!!!! (shouldn’t you have just passed me this yr’s then?!)

--

A does Company A, which is an interco of Company B. We’re auditing only A and B. Everyone knows this.

A: Can I confirm interco balances with you?
B: Which one?

DUH!

A2: Any idea how many samples we need for cut-off?
Snr: Usually 5, but not sure. No specific guidelines.
(Snr turns to A1)
Snr: What u think?
A1: What does GAM say?

DUH YET AGAIN! If we knew what GAM said would we ask you?

A2: What’s the TE?
Snr: TE is 115. (Turns to A1) It’s 115 right?
A1 remains silent for a few moments, does some check on the computer.
A1: TE is 115.

Okay I’m sure no one thinks there’s anything odd here. But well, I would think that a normal reply would be: “Yes, it’s 115.” Or just a plain “Ya”. That reply was as though the senior had not mentioned anything at all.

And in any case, why did he have to hesitate? We’ve been on this job for 3 days. And by the 3rd day you still dunno what your TE is? How to do work? It’s not like we’re doing a few companies at once. Hmm. Maybe I’m just being overly critical…

Snr: When did the director resign?
A2: January.
A1: (pause, then echoes) January.

Wah lau. Parrot la!
