Its been almost a year since my last post!

25th May 10 - Finally graduated from polytechnic with diploma in accountancy. How did the hell did I get in accountancy too. I didn't take accounts or have any interest in it in secondary school days. I took A maths and thought I would go to JC instead. Somehow, after much persuasion from people, I chose to go poly instead. Initially I chose tourism but then again, after much persuasion, I chose to go accountancy. I did not regret any of the choices made and even felt that I made the best out of it. Managed to excel time and time again, and graduated with diploma with accountancy, together with ernst and young award. During the three years of study, I met a lot of passionate teachers. They played a part in what I have achieved academically. Aside that, I met nasty people too. Well.. they know who they are. So whats up next? Another 3.5 to 4 years in NTU. Meanwhile, i've decided to take up double degree - accounts and business admin (banking and finance). Like I said, its meanwhile only.. i'll pull it through if i'm able to survive the tremendous stress if not i'll just drop either one, which is most probably business admin degree. well thats 2 years later! Sigh.. the education path is so long!!!

8th Sept 11 - 11.45am at tekong! my enlistment date! hopefully training would be much easier as expected. hopefully i meet nice buddy, nice bunkmates and nice officers! what i'm afraid most is the outfield training! imagine going on for days with powder bath? :\ I hope 2 years will pass very quickly. What a waste of my time... I can completed half of my degree given that 2 years....

Upon graduation, managed to find a job at an audit firm. Work is okay but clients' attitude sucks totally! It was the first time I got so mad with the client. Can't believe such person with such qualification would do things in such a way, needless to say people from the same company. Quit after few months and currently back at accounts job to earn some pocket money and to help them out. A job i would prefer over audit! 

Anyway, I should start reading more books and more books and more books!!! Finally borrowed a book to read. Will post about it in further. 

Thats all. 

Night! :)

God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.

HOLIDAY IS BORING!

I guess it's time to update my blog again.

Very soon, i will be four weeks away from my semestral exam. I am still pondering how should I go about revising which includes memorising! Tentatively, I am thinking of spending three weeks studying and one week to slack which is not practical at all. Most probably I will be spending two weeks studying and two weeks slacking. This semestral exam is quite crucial to my results as I read that after this semester, we are able to apply for the admission into local university with the cumulative result after this semester. I am striving towards NTU accountancy.

For the month of July, school life was totally crazy! I had to submit projects week after week and a few assessment in the midst of the completing the projects. My mid semestral exam results were disappointing. Frankly speaking, ever since the moment I started to excel in my studies, I found out that the reason why I have been striving so hard is to do my parents and teachers proud. That is why I was rather affected when my accounts teacher told me she was not satisfied with my results. It's pressurizing when one starts to excel, people around him/her expect him/her to do even better.

Before I start mugging next week, I am looking forward to a few chill out plans with friends!! :) tomorrow with pat, friday with classmates, and sat with darryl! :)

I need some motivation to start studying.

damn nice isn't it! i was contemplating for quite some time. untill when I wanted to get it, it was the last piece and it has a little scratch on it. BIG NO NO! and to add on to the disappointment, the service of assistant at fossil ion orchard was really bad! like totally! 

//edited 24th june
I bought it today at 313! It was the last piece at 313, having the sales assistant to claim that it was the last piece in available in singapore again! but their service was good! :)

it sucks to not have what u desire!

one week of holiday have passed. i have been working, and its drying up all my brain juice. had to tally the salaries and the cpf statement. it was bad, really bad!! nothing much to blog about anyway. just that its my last holiday and have a few plans ahead for next week. meet up with pat, tpbt and some accounts volunteer at greenview secondary.

it takes two hands to clap, but one hand to slap.

This week was no exception. Rushed through my revision the whole week and left me rotting for this weekend, making me feel that I am unproductive during the weekend. :( Mid semester test will commence tomorrow onwards, for 4 days. So many plans ahead after thursday. Can't wait!!!

Had dinner at BBQ chicken at northpoint basement. I know it would not taste as good but I thought why not just give it a chance to prove me otherwise. Well.. The food was bad. Foodcourt would have taste better! On top of that, they even explicitly state on their menu that the food would take 15 minutes and reminded me verbally. I have no problem with that but the food definitely took longer than 15 mins.  I would not have been so pissed with the waiting time if it was not mentioned to me. But since they set the standard at 15 minutes, shouldn't they stick close to the standard. hm... tsk!

1.  Met up with darryl, sheree and huilin last sat at timbre @ substation. It was an eye opening experience. First time to a pub with live band and the liveband, the goodfellas, is definitely awesome! The waitress, sasha, was very friendly! We insisted to take our orders from her every time! haha! The duck pizza was my favourite! The erdinger beer was definitely much better than any other beer I had so far. We tried the buffalo wings, it was spicy! cannot take it! lol. the chicken kebab was not as good as commended by sasha. :( but it was a great night!



2. Yesterday was pat's poly graduation. Just nice I had 3 hours break and went down to meet her at her school. She posted on fb that she cut her hair, short. I could not wait to see her new hair, and when i saw her, the change was not tremendous. phew... and she is looking good! :) took a polaroid shot with her. 



3. Mid-semester test is a week away! 4 papers to mug for. It's quite okay but the theory part.. is killing me. Gonna start the engine now! Still contemplating whether to go to the cafe at yishun library since I bought this promotion card for $19, which entitles me to 5 drinks. eventually each drink cost $3.80 rather than $5+++. Hm... how? 

4. It is the great singapore sale now! and I'm stucked at home mugging away!! Muji is having up to 70% off its apparels for only 3 days till 21st June! I so wanna go! But... mugging now is my priority! :(
