Release of ACCA results

I was at my company lunch today when my friend sms me informing that ACCA results for December have been released.

Somehow i dun have that kinda anxiety feeling that i had last time round when the June results were released during Aug.

Maybe im too over confident or maybe i cant really be bothered already....

anyway, the very first person i want to thank my savior, Jesus, although i cant thank him enough. Well i thank him for hearing my prayers and his mercy and grace upon me. He did bless me with Wisdom and everything.

Secondly, i must thank my family and friends for all the support they have given me... and lastly the tutors who gave so much guidance and put so much heart and soul in their teaching, Thanks Mr. Saminathan and Ms Goh.

Studying full time for that short 1 1/2 months really did help as i can see that i did score in the 2 papers that i took F7-FRS and F6-Tax in which i scored 84 and 72 respectively. Well, i thought i could score 80+ for my tax but well, i guess i didn't do well in the theory section which cost ard 15 marks. For F7 i guess its the very first time for me in accounting exams history that i am able to balance all question's balance sheet. (didn't manage to do that while practicing without peeping).

Guess i did made the right decision in quitting and going full time studying, didn't waste time and $$ afterall...

For now i am taking 3 papers at 1 go for the upcoming June exams.... dunno how its gonna be, but i guess 3 mths to prepare should be adequate.

Till then...

Valentine's Day

It has been a few weeks since i blog. Well, cant be blamed, i've been extremly busy with my work lately. Its like, 2 - 3 am for 3 - 4days straight and if not its like till 12 - 1 am. Come to think of it, if i divide my pay against the hours i spend, i think i can earn more if i take on a few jobs.

Anyway, i have already resign my current job and have decided (after a very long thought) to go full time studies. I just did some rationale thinking and have taken advices from both family and friends and have decided that it is best that i go full time studies.

First off, i really feel that in Singapore (or literally everywhere) Academic Qualifications counts even though you suck. My decision to resign is really not due to anyone personal nor unable to cope with the workload. I just feel so unjustified and so short changed in way of remuneration that i came to the conclusion that my remunerations is not fairly treated just because i am a Diploma holder.

It just so happened that i found out that someone in my firm is getting so much higher than me in terms of remunerations that i feel i am being shortchanged. Damn it, i mean, position is the same, work scope and everything is the same... and im being given so much lesser... what kinda bull shit is this... just because of that freaking piece of paper?

i am confident of my own capabilities and abilities and i am very sure i am able to match and even outperform some people.

and the worst part of all? im being told that its the way the society is which cause me to be in this situation now i.e. there is a cap in promotion and rermuneration for Diploma holders (made me all the more to determine to quit)... i mean... Is there a cut-off in work when it comes to Diploma and Degree holder? if they are able to convince me that there really is a cut-off in jobscope/work/responsibility... then i'll buy that bull shit. Anyway, i have myself to blame for this shit that i am in....

I decided that i cannot waste anymore time, and i must finish my ACCA/Degree programe in the shortest possible time...

Ok, enuff of those stupid things thats been bugging me for quite some time.... Well, recently Artillery Institute had the first gathering in 2008 at non other than Han's.

The place is rather big and spacious for a big group... food wise.... i think its crap although its quit cheap.

I had Tenderlion Steak and to my surprise, it tasted like beef jerky (think the cook left the beef to cook longer), wasn't really impressed though...Here are the pics:

Heres the place (at Raffles place)

Here is a group picture:

Left row: Chong Boon, Me, Joseph, TJ, Louis

Right Row: Fabian, Johnnie Boi, Terence, Book Kai (Aka Ban Kai)

All this gathering brought me back to the day i was a Cadet, where i really long for the day i commission and become and Officer... Now that i looked back, i wish i could go back to my good old Hotel Wing, where all the freindship and comarade started.

It really brings back fond memories of my Infantry and Artillery days during my NSF. Though tough at times its really fun now that i look back... Come to think of it, i really made some bad decisions and rash acts during my cadet days and really wish to apologise to all who i have let down or pissed off.

These fond memories will always remain with me...
