WIR: Jan 18 - 24

The only memory I have of this week is WORK.

Honestly, there is nothing different each day, except that I took a sick day on Thursday.

And went out watched Ip Man 3 with Cal Vin, YYT, Shaun, Chris, Katherine, Emily, Wan Xin and Jason. Jason was also from EY Singapore. Seems like in a foreign land in, I am still at home. Ip Man 3 was a bit dull, as there wasn't any highlights. Even with Mike Tyson, it was just a "friendly" dual. The key issue was only whether which sect is the authentic sect to inherit the legacy of Wing Chun. I am very sure, there will be no more Ip Man series, not at least with Donnie Yen.

I just felt a bit down these few days. I am having difficulty concentrating in whatever I am doing, and making decisions. I can't believe that a simple decision as to what to do for the Sunday dinner made me paralyzed for a good 20 minutes. I had to force myself to clean up and go to my car. I drove randomly for awhile, and decided that I need to take control of the randomness, before making my way to Mitsuwa. I was like, SERIOUSLY.

And now, I just had dinner. And watching the Shanghai show. Not bad I think.

Anyway, I honestly think that the EGAs way of doing things in my current firm is not efficient and not really the right way of thinking. Whilst I appreciate the checklists that accompany each work step, I think that the people do not really appreciate what the objective of the work step is and typically, will either reference to other places or just document the hell of the EGA, without considering other work steps. For reviewers, it is not efficient, as we have to open up a few EGAs to see the complete story. And mostly, the lead sheet is useless. Where is the control to ensure that the lead sheet is updated and complete? Maybe I need more time to get use to it, but I really don't see the need for multiple EGAs. Seriously.
