Oct'10

1. It feels good to drop some words here. There was a storm last month and I decided to lay low. ( whoa, an escape criminal ar?) I am grateful that things are now in control as compared to last month, which means I should be appreciative and not take things for granted.

2. I joined the workforce 2 weeks ago and that makes me a newbie. :) I must say this is the work of God. It was another answered prayer. My office is situated near klcc. For transportation, it is foc as my dad's office is a few levels below my office. Friendly and helpful colleagues are important! (I am the youngest staff ^^) Staffs in finance division are all holders of professional qualification. Top management level are humble people. Too humble that you wouldn't think that they will join in to joke about the joke we joked over lunch. ( Sing: God is so good, God is so good...)

3. Job scope. The new things I did was issuing cheques. The rest are pretty much the same with the previous voluntary training stints for 2 months. However, I tend to screw up new opportunity given, those that I long for, by making mistakes. I wonder is it alright? During interview, the manager asked me what do I think of people making mistakes. I replied to err is human... How come I fail to see things from a broader perspective? Over and over again? This is rather sad and disappointing. It will look bad on my performance. How??? Come, o ye divine wisdom!

-> despite of all this, I still hope to prepare a full set of accounts one day.

4. I am having problem with finding the right time to study. Night time is a knock-off. Revision during lunch time in the office looks good though. :) Will try it out.

5. Talking about time, I need to adjust my quiet time as well. I want to take this to a new and meaningful level. A more productive time. So, rise early? (zzz...)

6. Currently working on building solid relationship with new people I met and the old ones to grow stronger and deeper.

7. Someone is turning 22 next month. :)

Note to self:
My post is full of words.
Words are important but I must not underestimate the power of pictures.
A picture speaks better than a thousand word.

Oh no, no updates!

Ouch!

Ouch! It hurts! Once again! It is even more hurtful this time because it happens once again.
But, every trial makes a person stronger.
Is that so?
Well, not for me,
for now,
at this moment,
at least.

I didn't make it to graduate. I didn't clear any paper I sat for last sitting either. That's bad!

In this situation, joining the work force is no longer a wise decision because I have 3 outstanding papers. Unless, I choose to postpone my studies. Another suggestion is that to do one paper at a time while working. Wait a minute! May I know which employer would be kind enough to give such a person a shot? Maybe. However, the job scope given wouldn't be the kind of job scope designed for graduate. Looking at my current job, which is temporary, I don't think it is getting me anywhere good. Ironically, I really hope I'm wrong when I say this. Am I too proud when I talk like that?

Next option is going back to class, with the same lecturers, same class jokes, same notes, same exercises, etc... unless, of course, I choose to go for different lecturer this time, which is allowed. The truth is, I don't have any space left in my heart to attend class.

Try another option, self-study. I would have to do it in kl. Malacca is not a good place, the study environment is just not conducive, especially with babies around! My family couldn't agree more with this statement. Self-study in kl means very less friends, no internet access, lesser entertainment due to lack of peers to hang out, etc... Aren't these 'the' criteria to go full force in studies? Come on people, be honest! I admit I feel lonely staying in such an environment.

So, what now? I need to decide fast! Registration for June sitting will be due by mid of next month.

The atmosphere is undeniably negative.

God, please guide!

notes from a soon to be stock buyer :D

Interesting facts picked up from this course, EquitiesTracker.com. :)

Accounting is the language of business, you have to learn it like a language. You can't be comfortable in a country if you aren't comfortable with the language. To be successful at business you have to understand the underlying values of a business.

-Warren Buffet-

Want to meet Warren Buffet? You can meet him in his old school, University of Columbia, New York. Please pay USD$144000 to be his junior. You might be able to have meal with him when he visits his old school. :)

Buying stock is like buying a property, eg, a house. There are a lot of homework/research to be done before you acquire it.

Most of the investors in retail market get almost 0% return. So, if you want to gamble, please choose Genting. At least, the chance of winning is 30%.

I finished a post with many words.
Then I click wrongly.
Hence everything disappear.
I don't think I'm going to retype it.

What holiday?

Hey! I'm stressed! I'm in need of desserts! Preferable something chocolaty... :)

This is most probably my last long holiday before the next one comes many years later but here I am, being stressed over it. Sigh... Real sighness...Argh!!!

Attending classes, will no longer be my regular activity in the next few years, at least. No, I have not graduated. I'm waiting for the results of last 3 ACCA papers that I sat this early June at the moment which I think I won't make it. (prudent or pessimistic? you decide) However, I'll stay put in employment regardless of the outcomes. I would say I'm adamant on this aspect. Well, I think I'm in the category of getting bored of a student's life. It's end of June right now and my temporary job will commence next month in a small accounting firm belongs to my dad's gila friend ( that is how my parents call him okay? oh, my gila boss!) while looking for a permanent job. Where is my land of toiling then? Honestly, I'm open to many places. But seriously, where is it? I see nothing! :( Am I too rush in getting the answer? Maybe. A reminder to self: Things will only be beautiful if it happens in God's timing. Oh Lord, I need thy divine guidance!

Next, it is so hard to meet up with secondary school friends. Firstly, it is because of my undeniably weird holiday periods. Secondly, I'm bound by transportation. But friends are sweet enough to pick me up. :) Thirdly, clashes of activities. Fourthly, let me think. All of these obstacles teach me the value of friendship. A kind of relationship that is bonding rather than binding. I miss them so much! :( I have no choice but to skip this coming Sunday seaside gathering due to clashes of activity. I'm truly sorry for not joining again my friends. :( Please play/eat/dance to the fullest on behalf of me.

Talking about meeting up with friends, it's even harder to meet up with friends from Stamford College Malacca. Main reason? Cinderella must leave before the clock strike 12! But the party cannot start anytime earlier than that because most of the guests just cannot make it. One of my friend is getting marry. I want to meet up with her 'before it's too late!'

Weight management anyone? It's under construction for me. Gosh, temptation is so real! Why try so hard with my own limited ability? Do not I have a Almighty God?

You know what?
I'm committing everything into God's hands.
And be thankful.

Not so mayhem after all but mayday is still needed

I have too many things in mind. Some are important and some are just trivial matters. Once again I lost my word in writing and orally. It could be due to the pathetic fact that I have not been engaging myself in good chat for a long period of time. I missed talking, and many other things. It is getting gloomy...

Halt.

On the bright side, my new house is comfy and I feel so bless to live in this house. The price is amazingly cheap! According to people who live in this area. Other than that, I have read 5 good books so far! (An achievement?) That is because I have no one to talk to. -.-''' But it changes the way of me looking at things and to try out different approach. Heck la, reading really makes one grows! It is definitely a smart investment. No doubt on that.

Note: For those who are paying income taxes in Malaysia, the the book relief amount is 100% of what you paid for books purchase from bookstore. :)

Going to camp next week! My long anticipated broga experience and sunrise watching! Here I come!
