I am so 'ACCA'

U see, promoting an ACCA courses is much easier than studying ACCA...I use to promote ACCA so badly that almost everyday I will mention ACCA...But what heppen know is that I realise ACCA is not as easy as what I always think about...

During those days in Uni, everyone call me Mr ACCA for one good reason...I wear ACCA t-shirt almost everyday...Frankly not everyday la but about 3 time per week...This is because I got too many ACCA t-shirt with me and it is free and the quality is quite good....I know lot of UTARian end up wearing the shirt as pyjamas...But me and some of the society do somehow create a trend in UTAR by wearing ACCA shirt on certain day and make it like a fashion.

The word 'I choose to stand out' in the simple t-shirt had somehow become famous after few semester and without realizing quite a number of student start to wear it to Pasar Malam near our hostel and even to the university...What an easy way of promoting ACCA in my uni, wasn't it....

But I personally never realise I snap so many photo of myself wearing this ACCA shirt. I wear this shirt almost in every occassion...

1. Everyone wear during ACCA Conference
2. I wear it in Friend Birthday Party
3. Range of ACCA shirt
4. I wear it in Phuket
5. Someone wear it to draw banner...Oh gost, drawing CIMA logo but wearing ACCA shirt
6. I wear it in Kampar after meeting the junior
7. Wear it during Career Fair
8. I wear it in Tioman
9. Studio photo with ACCA shirt
10. I even bath the Elephant with ACCA shirt!!!

I am so silly!!

Today I accidentally click into a folder call 'memory' in my harddisk....Then I accidentally click on the 'silly folder' then I am so shock!

I am shock that I am such a childish, silly and funny person....Basically I always appear very innocent and decent in front of everyone....I am a mature person when come to all junior....I am happy go lucky person when come to society activity (not to mention very proud...hehe)....and most importantly no people had ever addressed me as silly and childish until today I found that I am not just childish but damm silly...

Undeniable, time in UTAR was one of the most enjoyable times....Sometime in the peak of frustration due to deadline of infinite assignment, crunching time for exam and head banging experience in thesis, we always have some moment of silliness and stupidity

I just wanna post some funny moment we have in Uni or college as remembrance of our 1 year graduation anniversary.

When come to this stupid act, normally I was either been FORCE to do so or I been snap accidentally when performing some silly things…

First thing that very silly is this Doggy moment….I still remember it happen during the final semester study week. 3 Desperate students are happily study with their dog until it is so bored that they are acting funny with it….
This picture took during the graduation photo taking 3 weeks before the final exam….Our class rap make sure everyone look handsome and pretty for the photo session so she put on make up on me….and see how funny is the hang of gals behind me….


This photo is taken during stressful mid term period whereby a guy is focusing on his note with ISABELA….How adorable is this guy….. (by the way, just to clarify that this is not me)

Talking about silly, Mr Strawberry Bing is the craziest person so he always do funny funny things. And I never know the reason why my room is so famous so most of the funny photo was taken in my room!!!

This is me been force to wear a hair band….and normally when my roommate is not around someone else will occupied my BED!!! So sometime I do study on my roommate bed (as I never use table to study in house)….Notice the word zzzz sleep beside the bed….It was suppose to be reminder for my roommate to sleep….Wakaka….funny right…

Ok la....that all for the time being....Will upload more funny photo soon...hehe

Dubai vs World

I am a mad fella when come to building, architectural and interior design (though my room look like rubbish). For that reason, I do keep myself updated about the new building structure and design and making sure I was well updated with the newest building ranking (tallest building, best property developer, etc etc...). With this simple fond interest, I joined SP Setia as it was one of the pioneers in so call the “designer house” where each house has its own characteristic and nice design.

Dubai is a place famous for its architectural design and technology. In 1990, Dubai, a land with almost nothing is now growing like no body business. Is like what the Chinese said, ‘like bamboo shoot growing after the rain’ or simply what we all call as mushrooming crazily.

Frankly speaking, I think Dubai is places for crazy fella like me who have deep interest on building….Who don’t? Don’t you think those small model houses are so cute and lovely?

Dubai is now a well integrated city with almost everything under the roof. They have the tallest building in the world (Burj Dubai). And to make sure no other country surpass this title, Dubai wil have another taller structure (Al-Burj) going to take the place of Burj Dubai. Yes! Dubai is going to have 1st and 2nd Tallest Building dude!!! While other country are trying to beat this height, it is now seem impossible. The height goes as high as 1200m...

Wondering the hot climate in Dubai is going to spoil the mood of tourist? Worry no more, the new Dubai Ski, one of the largest ski arenas is there and if you have not enough, try the newest refrigerated beach…A beach specialized man make to enable the temperature control by the computer…Great!

Dubailand, the integrated theme park double the size of Disneyland…Is that awesome?

Row and row of high rise building at Dubai’s street will turn human as small as an ant. There is over hundred of building with more than 70 storeys high.

If you think your leg can help you in shopping at Midvalley, be sure you can do that also in Dubai Mall, World Largest Shopping Mall

Dubai also already has the Palm shaped island, a human made island that can be visible from the space and what the crazy things is that they don’t just have one, nor two but three palm shaped man made island! and if that is not enough, how about 300 man build island shaped to the map of the world!!!

Dubai waterfront is the largest waterfront development ever built.

But all this things come with a high tag price. Besides from the billion, trillion or maybe zillion amount of investment, it also comes with high risk of global warming. The energy consumption and use of natural resources seem to be threatening.

While most country are moving to greener building just like SP Setia Eco Park that use solar generated panel, Dubai seem to be moving another way. Imagine how much energy is use to refrigerate a beach? How about how many glasses use in the high rise building that will generate unnecessary heat in the earth. If Petronas twin tower is once argued for not environmental friendly as used too many glasses, how about Dubai? Dubai man made island also destroy the original landscape of the earth and Dubai underwater hotel might destroy the ecosystem of the sea. So much to argue, that even the firework display during the opening ceremony of Jumeirah Beach hotels lately which claim to be visible from the moon is also consider one of the reason why Dubai is consider to be not global warming conscious.

So much as the structure and design that amaze me, so much more that I am concern about the earth climate. Bravo to Dubai, Boo to Dubai as well.

Here are some ideas on making Dubai a more sustainable city. Since Dubai is so rich, and is located along the beaches, why not use wave power generation to generate electricity. Hot weather mean lot of sunlight, so go green by using solar power. Each building should have a solar panel to generate power. Wind generator can be added to the roof top of all building and places near the beach. Beside from its usefulness to generate electric it can also be an attraction….

Though glass on tall building can cause global warming, hopefully it can reduce the electricity consumption as there is no need so much lighting during the day. Water feature such as fountain should be use as natural cooler rather than air-condition.

Plant more trees at the roof of the building or at least at any balcony so it can beautified the building and yet more green.

Dubai does amaze me. A land with nothing much at the beginning been transforming to a heaven for the rich. Investment from all over the world pouring into Dubai making Dubai a successful and great city after all. So looking back at what they have in 20 years, what we in Malaysia have? Yup, our only pride is Petronas Twin Tower, the ex-tallest building in the world….We so proud that even it was not the tallest building ever build in mankind history but we are still the tallest twin tower in the world…awaiting Dubai to broke this title… While Dubai have Dubailand we have our new Legoland in JB…Legoland? never heard before?...We have once the best F-1 race circuit and self-proclaim best F1 race circuit till now as if to compare to Singapore cost saving on the road F1….



So the end what else we have since all our collection seem losing their title….Yeah! We still have our proud and pride of the nation!
The only moveable Eye on Malaysia (name also copy Eye of London).

Another cycle begin

Is beginning of the year and thus the normal yearly routine will start again....

Today I started my ACCA classes again and it was boring, tiring and looooooooooooooooong....The class is about 9 hours long and there is so much to absorb and so much things to learn....Is just way of life....To learn and continue learning....

One of my reso that I make this year is to take up CIA courses by this year. Basically that is the most crazy and most unpredicted reso that I make this year which I do not have intention to really achieve it....Anyway there is 11 reso else that I will be achieving. However somehow luck or faith was with me immediately after I make the resolution.

I stop by at the college to do my ACCA payment on Saturday and guess what I saw when I open the door of the financial courses division room??? I saw a huge CIA logo in front of me....Without hesitation, I sit down and ask for more details....Since it was an introduction program in Sunway, there is nothing much information I could gather but I do come back with the essential document....

I am a person who sometime make crazy decision without thinking so I grab the registration form and read all the information in the leaflet and go to the ATM machine. Take out the necessary amount to pay for my tuition fees...Queue up...and there goes my payment.....

Guess what! I registered myself for P2 in ACCA and come back with whole junk of information of CIA....Guess it wasn't time for me to start yet....Once I am confident that I can pass ACCA especially P2 then only will I continue with CIA....

hehe...

Reso Reso....

Is the new year again and time to start new life....So many things to do and so many things to achieve within the short period of 365 days...

Basically I don't want to make any resolution because by the end of March, I will forgot all the resolution I made....So i prefer make it simple and achievable resolution after failing my previous year resolution. What making achievable resolution is like walking on the street and nothing so exciting so in life we still have to make some resolution that is challenging and realistic....So crack and crack my mind, simple but meaningful resolution for 2009

1. Save a quarter of my salary as saving

2. Continue my car installment and PTPTN repayment

3. Clear at least 3 ACCA paper by end of this year and get ready to clear it by mid 2010

4. Committed to 3 vegetarian meal per week and healthy breakfast everyday

5. Committed one hour everyday for ACCA study

6. Take up CIA by the end of October 2009

7. Work hard for the June assessment. Make something out of it dude!!!

8. 1 charity per year...My target Famine 30 or AIDS day....

9. committed to 2 posting per week...average 100 post per year

10. Reduce fat by another 5kg....

11. Make first investment....I mean safe investment

12. Be happy and share happiness with people around me....

Yup, this year resolution sound much easier and roughly the same with previous year....If I fail in 2008, I should make it reality this year....You can do it....I can do it.....

Ooops....If I could add another resolution it would be turning my friends from smoker to at least social smoker....the best if he can stop smoking forever....BUT that seem impossible for some....

Happy New Year....and make your reso a reality....

Yeah........I did it !!!

Ok....ignore the title I put.....Actually I failed....But just to sound positive, I make it as it was a successful year....

As we are counting our day for the New Year, 2008 had seen one of the biggest changes in my life as well as most of my university friends’ life. Life in 2008 is tough, challenging but on the other hand, the most enjoyable year. Year 2008 was also a year where it passby too fast that it seem like I have done nothing in this year...

But before I ended this year post, here is the review of my failure resolution of the year.

Basically I fail in all the resolution I do...I fail to take P1 and P2 exam as I ended with P1 and P3...Result is gonna out in February....

I didn't save enough money as targeted although I do pay back some small portion of my PTPTN....

I fail to climb up my corporate ladder this year as I shift my job to another interesting field...Yes, what a failure that I can't even survive for the year end stock take whereby I will be counting stock while most people are countdown to the 2009. I do fail...But I do success and doing well in new job....

I fail to earn my money from internet advertising because my blog is damm lousy

I fail to lost weight and maintain healthy lifestyle such as doing sport...

The resolution that is successful are,

I successfully pay for my car installment since the first month of my work...Damm proud of it...wakaka.....

I successfully to maintain this idiot blog although in some point of busy time I always wanted to scrap it away....
I almost fail to do charity work until yesterday where I attend the charity treaure hunt...The hardest hunt I ever went before...



Basically I screw up my resolution of year 2008.....such a failure....

BUT

2008 is one of the best years....So many things had happen.....So many things had changed.....

In January, I started stepping into the working environment with BDO as my first company. I love external audit job very much and I still do even today…



In February, I become the last person to arrive home for Chinese New Year….yup, all because of audit work!!!

In March, I have my very first convocation. Yes, I did it. I am a graduate with Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) Accounting…..




In April, I celebrate my 21st Birthday...



In May and June, I was like totally lost in the world….I am so busy with work that I didn’t even have time for myself…..May and June is so boring!!! The only interesting thing during this time is I gamble for the first time in Genting!!! and First time taking flight



In July, I stared my first ACCA class….

In August I was locked in the house for 24 hours because my key was left in the car and no body is in the house….wahaha…. August is also the moodliest and down time for me….So many things had disturb my mind….I am lost….

In September, I tender for resignation. I couldn't believe what am I doing….Not even today, do I understand why I do that….But with no regret…BDO is great but my life now is as good as those days



In October, I left my first company, Saying goodbye to bunch of beloved friends….Having vacation to Phuket Island before starting my new job.



In November, I start my second job…Internal Audit in SP Setia…Great Company, great job, great team…..I also attend my first friend’s wedding….



In December, I take my very first ACCA exam, attend my company annual dinner, officially shifted back to Klang, and join a treasure hunt for charity though I didn't win but I didn't lost so badly either.

As 2008 is coming to the end, as we are counting our day to the new and better year...I look back of what happen in a year....I am satisfied for what I got, what I been blessed, what I have experienced....and what I have earned.....

2009, a year to catch up...So much to do...so much to expect.....

I belief everyone is hoping, if not praying that year 2009 will be better year, blessed with harmony and happiness, economy stability despite we are in the edge of world recession and cross finger together that we can achieve World Peace...

Yeah.....I make it for another year!!! I failled my resolution, but I earn another year of happiness, experience and life....Thank God!!!

Mamma Mia....

Month ago we were entertained by the Mamma Mia Movie....Then The Star Newspaper start to advertise the Mamma Mia musical show.....It was very ABBA feel for this few months....

My company is the sponsors for the musical show and I get a chance to watch the show using the corporate ticket. Those who work in SP Setia will know that Mamma Mia has such a big correlation to our company. Years ago our Charity Dinner show also used the Mamma Mia concept and about hundred of the staff performing for the charity deed under the umbrella of Setia Foundation. This time around, yet our company sponsors the show by bring the team for yet another charity deed and this time for Star Foundation.

SP Setia, was one very unique company. Not like other company that only focuses on PROFITABILITY, SP Setia show concern toward the society, environment and also the staff besides safeguarding the shareholders wealth.

Back to Mamma Mia...

The show was simply perfect,fantastic and enjoying. Everyone in the Istana Budaya was mesmerizes by the performer. We were entertained with lots of song from ABBA and sexiest and funny scene. At the end of the show, majority of us stand up, sing and dance along till the curtain is down to mark the end of the show…

This was the second time I went for such a night; one during the first day screening of Wild Zebra and this time for SP Setia Corporate Night. I simply love Broadway show and musical theater.

Terrible Klang

I couldn't forgive myself if I do not post this today.

I believe Klangite have experience one of the worst traffic jam in the history ever of Malaysia. Frankly speaking I prefer jamming in KL rather than Klang...

Firstly jam in KL is culture or norm because it is big city, but jam in klang is disaster because it is due to construction

Secondly the jam in KL is for certain peak hour but jam in Klang is 24 hours...

Thirdly road condition in KL is ok but road condition at jamming area is full of holes and and pieces of construction metal are everywhere...

Frankly speaking the construction of the new 'facilities' should have ended long ago but due to unknown reason it was reschedule to either end of next year or 2010. It have been long suffering for us...I have been seeing it from my uni life till I work for almost a year....What happen?

The construction side is not properly closed making the air so polluted during the afternoon time, flood during raining time and noise pollution during working time...

Is a disaster in Klang...The project was suppose to ease us but now it make us so frustrated. We almost needed psychologies in Klang to treat our madness....

Actually the road have no problem so it doesn't need to be upgraded. Before the construction started, we have no problem with jam. Why should it now?

Super thanks to the ex-government....Super super thanks for letting Klang people experience massive jam...

After 1.5 months

It have been one and half months since my first day of working as Internal Audit Executive....

Life is totally change, totally different and totally new...

I have just finish my first audit and I believe I am quite happy with my current life...Basically life here is almost the same like external audit but different in few criteria

Stress: Double the stress
Fun: Double the fun
Work: Double the work, double the detail, double the difficulty
Staff: Double triple quadriple the less from external audit
Exposure: Double in depth into the industry but only focus at few industries
Happiness: Same

I am catching up my mood on blogging. Actually I do have lot of material to blog but my mood not there....Why?.....I become lazy when I am back to Klang?? Tomorrow I will be away to Rawang for audit.......Rawang!!!Why Rawang!!!

Wings

When I am two, my mom said:

You not yet know learn how to walk properly, now you want to learn how to run!

When I am six, my mom said:

You not yet learn how to run properly, now you want to learn how to fly!

Today I am officially out from KL...I move almost 90% of my assets in KL back to my home sweet home ending my 5 years long independent stay in KL...

Staying 10 months with my housemate, Nicholas, FW, BL and YH is consider such a short period. But time had prove that things change as time pass by. Time pass and little wings had grow inside us. Now we fly freedom to chase our dream...We fly to see our future....

In a month times all of us will be apart...Klang, Sri Permaisuri, Cahaya or Hang Tuah...No matter how we are seperated I will remember our day in C-0-6...

Let us fly

I am back

After the long suffering of facing book, I am back with my blog....yeahhhh...

First I wanted to express that I have high confident that i might fail my exam.....But I still put 101% hope on my passing....whatever, as long as the result is not out miracle can still happen....

Secondly during this period of 1 month, I have undergo a lot of changes in life and lot of new event...

Rather than breaking all this event into few posting I would like to lum everything into 1 post as there is very less picture capture....This is all because of my poor performing camera which always 'DIE' during my important time...

Firstly I attend my first friend wedding. Congrats to Louise Tan on her happy marriage and thanks for the invitation to your wedding dinner...

2nd my company annual dinner....It was a blast...Firework, dance, parade, performance laughter, nice food for the whole night....Basically I wanted to post the whole event out because it was a long and fun night but since my mood had fed away so I just cut it short....But one thing I can say, this is the best dinner I had ever go....Really...It was fantastic....

3rd my first ACCA exam.....P1 i do it so so only....less preparation I would say....P3 is totally disaster....Pray hard that I pass both paper....

Ok...thats for now...Picture come later because I am damm busy with other stuff....will update very very soon...
