Chosen!

Finally made my choice after much contemplation (and sleeping on it). Gonna take papers 3.2 Advanced Taxation and 3.3 Performance Management. Ok, so I've decided to "stress" myself. No coursework this time around (learnt about that just yesterday. hey, I learnt something new about my course! *clap*). But that's unlikely to make life any easier. But I'm not gonna back out on my choices. Like Lei Ye said, "Made decision, don't change anymore!" Good advice! 'Cos the more I think about it, the crazier I might get (I'd probably start talking to myself in public). Ok. So that's settled. No regrets, I hope. I'd better not make any statements about this or else the opposite might just come true.


Found this website on the signature of a member of one of the many forums I visit. Looks cool, no?

Typical lah

So my cousin just called to ask about tax. Was wondering why she's doing it so late. I forgot that there's a thing called e-Filing (no thanks to lack of exposure to it). And the deadline is tomorrow, 31 May 2006. Tsk tsk. Lucky thing she's a tax resident in Malaysia. A typical Malaysian? I think so.

Crappy lecturer

Woke up at 5.45 a.m. to attend BIM lecture which started at 8 a.m. I believe I wasted my whole 2½ hours for the lecture, 2¼ hours of my sleeping time and another 25 minutes coming back (actually going to MidValley). So in total I lost 5 hours and 10 minutes of my time feeling miserable, bored and sleepy. The man is crap, I tell you! I'm contemplating whether to take this subject with a lecturer like that.

Choices choices choices. Gotta make a choice on which subjects I wanna take this semester by this Friday. I don't want that feeling of regret when I eventually fail both the papers I take. Have been thinking today. Have been coming up with pros and cons to taking a particular subject. Each time I come up with a reason to take a subject, a disadvantage will somehow creep into my mind. Am lost now. Am dying for advice. Searched the Internet for clues on how one should choose which paper to take for ACCA. Found this pdf file which was for December 2003 but I believe it still is useful for my year. One of the pages gives a rough outline of each optional ACCA paper. Am still pondering, though.Source: http://www.bpp.com/admin/gfx/busedweb/......../acca/acca_complete.pdf

Thanks to my brother for sharing this:
Someone

Manipulate

It's starting.........

I have to wake up in about 6 hours time and I am still lying in front of the computer. 'Tis still too early to sleep! My mother asked me what time I'm coming home tomorrow. My reply: "Err....after I finish my class I guess." And I got responses from both my mum & sister: "STUPID (this word was extra long) answer!" Haha. Entertainment, man!

So, what subjects do I intend to take? I was thinking Advanced Taxation (Paper 3.2) and Business Information Management (Paper 3.4) . Then again, Performance Management (Paper 3.3) sounds useful. But I don't think I wanna stress myself out too much. Will attend the lectures to see which I'll dislike the most. Definitely NO Audit for me.
Darn! We're to take Moral. I guess the subject's not that bad but it just has to be in Bahasa Malaysia. Man, my BM has gone down the drain since I left secondary school. Moral....brings back memories of the Moral subject in primary school and secondary school days. I used to score quite high for the subject in primary school. That's 'cos it was easy. Drawing flags and stuff. Not so in secondary school. I was looking at my secondary school report card yesterday. Form 4 year-end exam: Moral - 47 (D7); Form 5 mid-year exam: Moral - 49 (D7). Uh-oh. Orang tak bermoral (Person with no morals). But I managed to "bluff" my way through for SPM. Just wrote as many nilais as possible to score marks. Eventually I got an A2! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that grade on my SPM results slip. Same went for History.

Bored?

For the extremely bored. Cheers!

Bakin' Boys

Well, my sister was reading the newspaper and came across this article on Bakin' Boys. Visited their website and practically drooled while looking at their cookies (well, actually reading about them). Sounds so so soooooooo yummy! And they have this Power Promo for people who go there on their birthdays. I'm definitely gonna try heading there on my birthday!

Cleared room (partially)

Was clearing my room the whole day today. Didn't know it'd take me more than 5 hours to get part of my room cleared. But like my mum said, it'll probably be back to its normal messy state once college starts. While I was clearing, I found some interesting articles (I had a few newspapers & magazines lying around). So before I dispose of the papers thought I'd post some "useful" stuff here, just in case.

Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

College starts on Monday and I have a lecture at 8 a.m. at DK ABD which is like on the other end of the world! What in the world is wrong with the people who set the timetable, huh? Well, the timetable says "Only for 1st week" so I'm trying to keep my hopes up that the revised one will be a little better. *fingers crossed*

Decided to watch Over The Hedge instead of The Da Vinci Code though I'd still like to watch the latter.

Body Shop was having a sale and the place was like a mad house! The shop in Mid Valley is not that big so imagine about 50 people squashed inside (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little). Stingy me shared with my bro to buy eau de toilette for my sis as a be-LATE-d birthday present. Like it chi? Don't try all the combinations in one go, k?
The collection of fragrance we bought is called Invent Your Scent fragrances. There are a few different fragrances and when any two are mixed together (actually sprayed after one another), they create a different scent. Oh, found some useful tips (from The Body Shop Website) on what to do with them, chi.

• Start the day wearing one fragrance, then spray another one on top before going out in the evening.
• All nine Invent Your Scent fragrances combine with each other so you can never make a mistake.
• Combining more than two Invent Your Scent fragrances is not recommended.

I have sesat friends. Friends who thought today was my birthday. Haha. My birthday is 25/6 not 26/5, Lei Ye.

Amazement

I amaze myself sometimes. What in the world am I doing in a course I currently dislike and one which I don't know anything about? I keep being asked how many papers I have to take in ACCA and I can never give a number. All I can ever say is "I dunno". Honestly, I never found out anything about my course. Maybe I did but I never understood the exam system so I'm just "going with the flow". All I know is that I should pass all the subjects in the first seating so that I won't have to pay extra to resit them papers. Well, too bad it was only my second not-on-my-list choice. Eh, Chan Sze, if you LURVE ACCA so much, wanna sit my papers for me? Haha.....if only that was ever possible.
Silly me is still dying to do actuarial science which is way too costly and a goal I'll probably never be able to reach since I suddenly hate studying. Why was I not born with super photographic memory?
I miss Add Maths!

Was told that next semester's timetable can be viewed on the college's website. Tried accessing it just now (at 12 am) there was a problem loading the page. Complained to my sister and she said, "Maybe they're updating the website right now." That was hard to believe as it was 12 MIDNIGHT! Nobody in their right mind would want to update the college website so late in the night unless they couldn't sleep. I doubt any of the staff has insomnia. Then again, maybe some of them do have insomnia since some of the staff are quite moody all day long. I am mean. Haha. Will try accessing it again when I wake up.

Am finally gonna watch a movie in the cinema after probably half a year (?). Am torn between watching The Da Vinci Code and Over The Hedge. The Da Vinci Code seems more worth it since it's an hour longer than Over The Hedge. But Over The Hedge looks like a fun movie. *ponders* I hope I am able to wake up at 9 am. Seems impossible or is it?

Right, I'm off to pursue my dreams in my dreams. Nighty! Wait, need a dose of Sudoku first.

No more sinking sidebars

Yes! Finally the sidebar of my blog is not below the posts anymore when viewed using Internet Explorer. Thanks to Peter's Blogger Tips and Tricks blog. Apparently it was due to the weather sticker that was too long for the sidebar.

Having a temporary memory loss at the mo'. Can't remember what I wanted to blog about.

Friendster changed the homepage layout again and now the daily horoscopes are gone, or am I just blind?

The Mayonnaise Jar And Coffee

A forwarded e-mail from a friend.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things- your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play
another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."

Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Just came across another website full of games: Reflexive Arcade. Games galore! Wohoo! And the best part is that I get to play the games without limitation thanks to people who share (if you know what I mean). Haha.

Today's horoscope: "Work on your ability to tell the good from the bad. Discernment will save the day."
Polish up your vision today -- having a good eye will be invaluable. A dear friend needs your advice on a confusing situation. They're too close and your nonsense detector is more accurate than theirs. Tell them the difference between the good and the bad. At work, there is a steady build up of cons that are starting to outweigh the pros in a long-term situation. You may need to schedule a chat with a higher-up soon. Make sure you get what you want.
Eh?

Okay, so I'm terrible

I finished a whole family-size bar of chocolate today. Yeah, call me terrible. But it was really delicious. The blame should not entirely be on me. I didn't want to buy it but my mum insisted on buying it some 3 or 4 years ago. So the bars (there were 2, one was finished yesterday...haha) of chocolate were sitting in the fridge for a good 3 or 4 years. They have since expired. Well, luckily they were in the fridge or they would've gone to waste. As there was no more good junk around at home, it was my only option of junk food for the day. Cadbury's Black Forest is the best!


Horoscope: "Today could be a major turning point -- keep your eyes open for unusual overtures."
Despite a fairly calm and quiet beginning, today could end up being a massive turning point for you. It all depends on who you are around today -- romantic prospects or current partners can influence your receptiveness, so try to keep all correspondence high-level and upbeat. The less distracted you are, the more likely it is that you'll be able to recognize an unusual invitation or proposal. A door is opening, so get ready to stick your foot in to keep it from slamming shut again.
I'm still waiting for that unusual invitation/proposal. Where's my big opportunity?! Haha. I guess it's not here yet. I've been sitting at home the whole day bumming in front of the computer. But hey, I woke up at 12 pm today! 5 hours earlier than I planned to wake up! An achievement (to be proud of)!

Being bored

As I'm currently in my bored mood (a.k.a. the holiday mood), I'm waking up at 5 pm everyday for the week and searching for things to watch. I'm now searching for my childhood movies & shows, i.e. movies and TV shows I used to watch as a child. I now have the urge to watch The Pink Panther cartoons. I used to love watching them but I've already forgotten how entertaining they are. If only I can get my hands on them. I'm also searching for movies like The Maid & Three Men and A Baby. I used to catch TV shows like Saved By The Bell & Three's Company every week with my sister. Those were some pretty good comedies.

My colleague happened to share some songs with me while I was still working but I only got a chance to listen to them last night while teman-ing my sister while she studied for her upcoming exam (heck, I didn't do much except sit down with my headphones while playing Sudoku which I downloaded from GameHouse). The singer's name is Justin Lo and I have to say that his songs are quite good. Though I can't understand the lyrics, except for the English songs, I love the music 'cos of the instruments used. They're quite soothing to the ears, not that the songs made me sleep.
Thanks for sharing them, Chan Sze. And yes, good taste! Haha.
One of the songs I like listening to is 命硬 Meng Ngang. It has a nice melody to it. Since I can't find a good host to host the audio, just have a listen to it while watching the MV.


Horoscope for the day: "Recent changes have given you more responsibility. Don't be worried -- be flattered!" I have no comment.

And my blog still looks distorted on Internet Explorer.

Malaysian Food

My sis and I were thinking of what to eat for dinner as my mum has gone out with my uncle to watch Grease The Musical at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. So, I was searching the Internet and came across this website, MalaysianFood.net. I found it quite informative. It had a little history on Malaysia (well, for people who think that Malaysians still live on trees, do try to read the homepage of this site) and most importantly information on Malaysian food. They have a food glossary which is mostly in Malay and the "translation/meanings" of the food. Too bad I didn't find any food outlets on the website though. Oh well, my sis & bro have decided to have Domino's Pizza. I'll probably be rummaging the fridge for chocolate, that's what I've been craving for for the whole day.

Pics...finally

Some photos taken using my friend's (May Syn) camera on our last day as vacation trainees at E&Y.

All the VTs. This was taken in MidValley.

At Souled Out

May Syn & Irene (a Manager)

Me & Amanda Long.
The person who was sitting next to me in office and who had to listen to most of my complaints. Sorry, Amanda!

More pics here.

The regret of not taking a photo with my senior is sinking in. But on the bright side, I've got her contact number. So I guess it's not that bad.

Today's horoscope: "As things slow down, it's time to conserve, hibernate and get ready for next time." Things are definitley slowing down and I've got another week to conserve, hibernate & get ready for college. So, I'm going to hibernate now. Good night!

Freedom...for a day

My parents are in Genting and my siblings and I have the whole house to ourselves. Wahaha. My mum won tickets from The Sun to go see Connie Francis's concert.

















I guess I would have followed them to Genting if not for the fact that I woke up at 4 p.m. and if my sister was going too. But since my sister is going to another one of her unending birthday parties (that's what my gor-ee said), I didn't go as I didn't want to be wondering around Genting by myself. So I'm at home lazing around.

A few pics:

My sis doing what she does best

Me, about to go to sleep

Firendster horoscope for the day: "Step back today and let the crowds pass you by. You need some more time on your own." I already too much time to myself.

Last day

My last day at Ernst & Young Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd. Boy, was it a hectic day! It's a lucky thing I did most of my filing already except for the one company's expatriates. Most of them didn't have files and I, being the super forgetful person I am, forgot to create files for them. Sorry, SSW. I got to do my last Schedule of Days-In-Days-Out (DIDO) before leaving!!! Whoppee!!!! The one thing that I really hated doing last time but have since come to liking it, just when I'm about to leave.

Had a blurry start to the day. I don't know how this happened, but I put on my contacts on the wrong side of each eye (i.e. the left one was on my right eyeball and the right one was on my left). On the way to office and in the office, all that I could see were a blur. I thought that there was something wrong with my contacts and that they were not put on properly so I went to take them out and wash them. When I put them back on, everything was still blurry. I went back to the office and thought of any reasons as to why I couldn't see properly. Then it struck me that I could have put them on on the wrong side. So I went and changed them, and, yay, I could see clearly again. Blur me. I believe that I might have put the wrong cap on the container after I finished washing my contacts.

Kinda sad that I've left E&Y. I'm happy that I'll be able to get my much needed sleep (finally!) but I'm definitely gonna miss the work & the people there, especially those that I've worked with there. I only got to see my senior for awhile after lunch before she had to leave for a client meeting which she never came back from (she obviously went back home after that). I feel bad for hardly saying bye to people but we were already running late. But hey, I managed to get a hug from my senior before she left for the meeting and from Chan Sze who was super busy. Well, everybody have been asking us VTs whether we'd come back to work in E&Y, particularly in Human Capital. My answer was maybe and someone replied that a maybe is better than a no. The day before, my senior asked me the percentage of the chances of me going back to E&Y after graduating. Well, I said 50-50. I'd like to keep my options open. Then she told a manager that if I were to go back, she'd chup (book) me first. She said that my portfolio will all be under her, CLC. Haha.

Had lunch at Souled Out at Desa Sri Hartamas. Some of the seniors, staff and a senior manager bought us lunch. I had Claypot Loh Shee Fun. It was really nice but unfortunately I couldn't finish it. But it was really nice of them to give us a treat. ^_^
For dinner, we VTs treated ourselves to a nice meal together as it would be our "last time" together before college starts again. We ate at Madam Kwan's.

My horoscope on Friendster reads "You should feel proud of what you did! Don't let the jealousy of others get to you." Jealousy? What jealousy? I am proud of what I did. I managed to do my exit clearance from E&Y without much problems. Ha!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day. Ah, the day when all mothers in the world should get pampered. Hehe. However, I doubt that's what's happening in this world. I doubt that EACH and EVERY mother is being given special treatment on this day. That's kinda depressing. So, to celebrate Mummy's Day, my siblings and I bought my mum lunch at Chili's at One Utama. My mum, sister & me shared the Country-Fried Chicken & some fajita thingy (I forgot the name). My dad ate the Lamb Shoulder and my brother had Citrus Fire Chicken and Shrimp. It wasn't too bad. For desert, we had Hi and Mighty Pie. The most delicious pie around!!!!! The base of the pie is made out of Oreo and the top is ice cream. Then on the "pie" and around the plate was chocolate and caramel sauce. Heavenly! I practically finished the whole plate because everybody else were too full (hey, less men more share=p).Thanks to Uncle Chin Kee for recommending it the night before. =D
Oh, and dessert was on the house!

Me enjoying Dessert! (my sis took these with her handphone which explains why they're kinda small)


Another week of work and 10 more days thereafter till college starts again. I wish that I didn't have to study anymore. Studying is the worst thing ever. Too bad knowledge doesn't come with our soul when we're born. I know I'm known as a studious type but to be honest, I'm actually not. I only study when it's nearing exams and that's when I try to cram everything into my brains for just a few weeks will the exams are over. I only head to the library everyday because of how slow I am, especially in doing tutorials. I'm just a bad bad student.

Donated blood

Went to Tung Shin Hospital to donate blood. Was helping out my mum's friend whose mother needs 2 pints (=1.136 522 5 litres) of blood. And so I found out that my haemoglobin level is 12.5, which is at the borderline. And with this known fact, I got lecturing! So much for helping. Hmph! Just Yahoo!-ed "haemoglobin level". According to the National Blood Service of England & North Wales, there are 3 (main) reasons why one has a low haemoglobin level:

• Some people tend to have a 'low-ish' level. This is not due to any health problem, just that some of us normally have a lower level of haemoglobin than others.
• The haemoglobin level may vary with the weather. Some people tend to get a slightly lower reading when it gets hot.
• A shortage of iron. We need to make haemoglobin. If the body is short of iron the haemoglobin may fall below normal.

So there. It's not because I'm unhealthy (please disregard the last reason in considering the level of my haemoglobin ) that my haemoglobin level is heading towards the low side.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dearest senior, MICHELLE LIEW CHEE CHIN!!!!!!!!!

So, today's a public holiday, Wesak Day! Got to sleep in till 12pm. Went to The Curve and Tesco. Had lunch at Lan Kwai Fong at The Curve. Frankly, I didn't enjoy it. Then went to the flea market. Didn't find anything interesting there as majority of the stalls were selling clothes and jewellery which I did not fancy. I found out the price range of the bracelet: RM100+ to RM200+. Yikes! I never expected them to but such an expensive gift!
My mum went and irritated this Chinese lady who was selling stuff at the Tesco parking lot. My mum was looking at this set of bowls (which came with spoons). The lady said that the price is RM35 (she said it in Chinese first and then in English. When she said it in English it sounded like "certify"). My mum, who was not even gonna buy it, bargained and said RM20. The lady said, no. The lowest she was willing to give was RM30. My mum stuck to her price of RM20. Then the lady said in Chinese to add a little more to that price. My mum went and lowered it to RM15. The lady said RM30 again. Then my mum said no. The lady got so irritated that she said, in a very loud voice, " Bu yao, jiu suan le!" (Don't want, done!). I don't get it. Why irritate someone so much when you're weren't even gonna buy the thing in the first place? I don't understand people, like my mum, sometimes. Weird!

Golly!

Got a surprise at the office today. My senior, Michelle together with 2 of my colleagues, Chan Sze and Rachel Teh bought me a gift. And I'm pretty sure it ain't cheap. It's from Diamond & Platinum Sdn Bhd . I am so terharu.


They gave it to me after lunch. Michelle & Rachel went for a client meetin earlier at Tesco. I guess they bought it from somewhere near there. If I'm not wrong, they bought it at The Curve. When they came back, it was still lunch time and I was in the office doing something while Chan Sze was out for lunch. When Chan Sze came back they asked me to go to the photocopier area where there's a table (usually used for meetings). My senior then started by saying that there was a client who is very disappointed in the work I've done and that the client was making a lot of complaints. It sounded quite real but Rachel was almost trying to not burst out laughing so I knew that this was not true. My senior continued and said, "But we're very appreciative of the work you've done," and gave me this long box. I was like "Huh?" Then she asked me to open it. So I did and inside was a bracelet. An extremely nice bracelet (and not to mention pricey). Then she said, "You must wear it now." Man, I feel so pai seh (as how some of the other VTs put it) now.

Oh, I got to meet my 1st client today 'cos Chan Sze didn't want to go meet him alone as there were some issues regarding his tax clearance. So I went with her. It wasn't too bad.

Had a post compliance meeting today. It was about the "what went right" & "what went wrong" during compliance. Pretty boring if you asked me. I was trying not to yawn as my Partner was standing in front talking.

Who would've thought.....

Who would've thought that thinking of what one likes to eat could be so hard. Well, that's me! I've never really thought about what I liked to eat best, apart from junk (big time junk food junkie here). For someone who's never thought about it, it's kinda hard to say. When my senior & colleague asked me what I want to eat (as they are planning on belanja-ing me), I couldn't tell. And to make it worse, my colleague didn't want to give me some letters which I needed to finish my work.

An intersting thing, in case you didn't notice. This morning my friend messaged me (while I was sleeping) and said that at 1 hr 2 min 3 seconds in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03, 04-05-06 (well, apparently it won't ever happen again in this lifetime). Interesting? Well, on the 7th of August 2009, at 12 hrs 34 min 56 seconds, the time and date will be 12:34:56, 07-08-09. Cool, eh?

The rubber bands on my braces, which are supposed to be grey, look like they have changed to green colour. Must've been something I ate.
