Of justice and peace!
Anyway, so what is justice and peace? I am talking about legal files review. Any company, at one point, will be sued or to sue someone and under one accounting or auditing standard, it is necessary to look at the legal documents or files. My guess would be to quantify the effect of any damages on financial statements.
Well, that was practically what I did the whole day anyway. So, other than my full-time work, I am in the midst of getting some support from KLPAC, or the other way round, I am trying to support KLPAC and the performing arts industry in Malaysia.
Basically, I made a preposition to KLPAC that I would like to write reviews for any of their shows, plays or musicals in exchange for a fixed fee on ticket and publicity on their website. In all honesty, I think this would be a win-win situation but not sure if KLPAC would agree to it. XD
On a lighter note, I am eyeing to purchase a special edition calendar. Make a guess on which one is it. Or wait till I post up a photo on it. XD but I can assure you, it is gonna be cheeky and fun. The calendar I mean, not the post.
Guess I sidetracked by a lot towards the end of the post, so to divert back,
PEACE to the WORLD!!!!!!

LRT and 10pm.
Not only that, second day already and I am leaving office at 10pm at night. While it does made me fear what could be worse than that, I am actually anticipating what I can learn and the exposure that is laid in front of me. Just thinking about it makes me giddy and happy.
To be fair, seniors in the team gave me the easiest job, in other words, requiring less brain power. Which for that alone, I am grateful.
I still can't wait to see what is in store for me in the future.

1st day of REAL WORK!
Anyway, first day was just full of talk about certain proceedings in the firm and a quick run-through on stock taking procedures, I do admit I was eating more than listening(refreshments were provided), but I really learnt a few stuff about tipping-off and keeping some of your cards. Next up was to group us juniors with relevant senior members if they are around. Mine was someone I knew from my internship days, so it was fairly relax and I actually had nothing to do for the day. Well, not real work anyway. XD
But I still got two things done though, which is to open a bank account at a specific branch and fill up necessary forms as I want things to be done as quickly and as clear as possible (had some bad experiences with HR dept which left a slightly bitter aftertaste, like stout).
OK, guess that's how a typical orientation day works though, but they do love to make us feel unique by saying we are 'special' and there will be more orientation and training coming up (read: more free days! Woo hoo!)
And as apology for all the delays and what not, enjoy a random photo:

Revival of daily sky!
So, from now on, the sky we see will be from different aspect but it is still the same piece of sky. XD

A good end to an arc.
This end is very special though, as it truly marks the end to my full time studies as FM is the last paper I took as a full time student. And my holiday-mode entered full gear as soon as invigilators collected my answers and questions script.
So, as a way of having a united spirit, we all went to have dinner together after the exam. The car I went on contain Ka May, Casey and Joel. So, me being a little mischievous, bought them to BDO since Casey drove to Jalan Sultan Ismail.
It was quite exciting to see the place as a soon-to-be employees, but I am quite sure I won't say the same thing once I am an employee. So, each of us finally saw which job we are on and I was the only odd one out. Whilst at first I did have mixed reaction, eventually, I decided that it might be the best. For all I know, there must be some reasons for things to turn out this way. Anyway, met with a few of PJD seniors, BDO batch 1 and BDO batch 2 in the office. Quite a fruitful trip for me.
We decided to leave once our stomach grumbled non-stop and it turns out we were at office for half an hour already.
Anyway, a quick drive were made to reach Sunway and there were so many rubbish spoken in the car ride, ranging from speculation about the clients, teasing of each other and even, moaning(ok, this is a little perverted of us, but fret not, nothing excessive! XD)
Finally, we reached our holy land of food, Tastypot. A little pricey in my opinion but the good company make up for more than it. The best part was, I went to take ice-cream, and once I turned to go back to my seat, everyone was looking at me. I put on a poker face and walked back to my seat. Turns out they were all wondering when am I done taking the ice-cream since I took quite a long time. They even laughed at the amount I took, which is much much less than they expected. LMAO when I heard that.
Still, all good time must come to an end and thus, ends my day as a full-time student. For real. At 12 sharp.

Bridging the Gap
Furthermore, the day my blog turns 3, I am somewhere far off, with no access to the internet. So, Happy Birthday in advance, BlogKok!!!
After full 20 years of being a student, now I had to join the working world. I do have to say, I might have taken the easy way in as I didn't go through the hassle of an interview, only the cumbersome job of putting together a resume. While the prospects of going out to work, receiving paychecks and being able to live independently (not really, I still live in my parent's house) seems so fascinating, my cynical self reminded me of the long working hours, less time on anime and manga, and last of all, and the greatest kick, no longer a student.
I couldn't fathom at all how life would be. Yeah, I did go an internship which lasted three months, but was the internship a real indicator? I doubt so, as my seniors were all nice and cool. But I am sure, the 'real' ones is when you put a stern and strict senior into an assignment which is a s shitty as it can be.
The other thing that I am adding to my plate is to start making my blog a place of memories, where people can just casually drop by and say, hey, been there, done that, that's life! I don't want a reaction which says : wow! so different!. Maybe I am still a sheep(not the zodiac sense!) but in the sense, I do not have an inborn initiative to stand out, I rather stay with the commonfolk.
Guess its really time to start a direction with my blog in addition to my thoughts which could range from mundane to fairly emo-ish to the damn hyper! XD

Inversi~~
And with that, I entered the class and laugh till my guts were about to fall off. There were 4 'girls', one as mentioned about, another one with a cheongsam, one wearing tights and damn sexy and finally, one who is slightly chubbier but nonetheless, interesting(as in, he really does all the sexy poses that even normal girls would think twice before doing it)

Graduation under ICAEW
Friday, October 21, 2011
Quick update~~
Anyway, a quick update :-
-Watched Real Steel with Sunway-TES staff as I was a student helper(see what I told you). Real Steel is really awesome, especially how a kiddo can pawn an adult. And mind you, adult was acted by Hugh Jackman. XD
-Bought myself a BlackBerry Torch 9800(already under debt although had not start work T.T) and having fun with it. To be truthful though, the main reason I bought it was the BBM function because there is this friend I would really like to keep in touch with but the only way to really contact is via BBM, so yeah, you get my drift. XD
-Partially or mostly neglected anime club stuff. Is this what happens to all seniors who left the club? They eventually lost touch? But I really love the anime club(SUAC)!! One of the best things that happened to me in Sunway University
Well, that's all I guess. No life lessons nor humour, plain updates. Heck, not even story-telling mode anymore. ><

Crazy day (almost)!!!!!!
Friday, September 30, 2011
Basically, after the first day of AniManGaki 2011, on 11th September, I went to Hong Kong and spent about one week there. Pretty fruitful I shall say, as I really enjoyed the public transport and weather there. Manage to visit Disneyland and Ocean Park as well. I must say, I am quiter entertained by those places. But my real enjoyment came from visiting their Cultural Centre, Space Museum and Art Museum. There were so many things for me to see and explore there that I think I don't have enough time to experience the whole thing. Of course, on other days, I just spent time visiting their shopping centres and malls.
After the end of a great break, I just resumed and the below are just the highlights that happened:
-had first ICAEW Malaysia Student Network meeting, fairly interesting I suppose, (is supposed to type the minutes and correct some stuff)
-attended my first ever NLP programme, it was interesting, apparently I was practising the methods subconsciously. Nevertheless, its fun. XD
-reigniting my interest in reading. Loaned damn many books from library and bought two classics on my own (The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird)
-finally being a serious student by trying to constantly revise (but plan sort of backfire XD)
So yeah, that's my life so far. Bored though. Cause I ain't growing.

AniManGaki 2011
So regarding the planning stage, it was full of conflicting opinions and last minute decision making which I think was evident during our event. I mean, a show being run by a few man can only lead us so far. I really hope next year that the whole club, regardless of seniority, to participate in the planning stage.
Anyway, about thew first day, I was partially a ticketing person and direction teller. But it was a great to see the progress of the turnout. I mean, that day itself, we had 900+ people and to me, it is a damn great turnout. I also get to see various types of people and cosplayers. Though, to be fair, I have to say that we were damn messy in the morning, due to lack of planning from me and a latecomer called Ticket. XD
Nevertheless, the stress and adrenaline kept pumping up till I forgotten that I did not sleep at all the previous night. I had to tell people directions and sort out the received amount. Not only that, I got constant disturbance by a certain someone. XD Hint: It is a lecturer.
I also had fun interacting with cosplayers ie. The SWAT team, Hansel(thanks for the sweets!), the violin/viola performance by the kind cosplayers. See the excitement you get from being at The ticketing counter?? XD
How can I forget about the omatsuri, stage and hall?? Omatsuri seems a little quiet to me but still manage to be fun. Stage was great, thanks to the emcees, cue and flow manager and the foresight to put the chairs there. A great thank you to the booth owners and I hope they had a booming business.
In short, the event was a great big success thanks to Ms. Jane for whatever critics and help she gave, Song Leong for smoothing out all the incidental crap and to clear up whatever TTT did(you were never a figurehead, since you actually did work and responsibly), Terry, Jess and Derwinn to think things through and go to the details, emcees(Hisashi Glay and co.), booth owners and most importantly, cosplayers, photographers and sponsors.
Cosplayers were damn great, I mean, we had so many memorable characters today and a great train of Hatsune Miku, a bunch of Touhou characters, really cool, confident and sexy crossplayers(I mean business if I am going to suggest a crossplaying competition). Oh! A final word to the cosplayers and a crossplayers, you guys are the awesome-est bunch I ever met, keep being THE people!!!
Photographers, what can I say about you? You guys are the magnet that pulled so many participants to our event, hope our place provided a good backdrop for you. Do allow u to use your photos. We will definitely credit you.
Sponsors, a big thank you!! You all provided the extra edge we needed as you guys bought in stuff to generate more excitement at your booth(especially EYE project booth, so damn cool!!)
There you go, AMG through my eyes and only for the first day. For any feedback, please send and email to animangaki@gmail.com
send the good, bad and ugly, we want to know ways to improve ourselves. XD

A simple promise, broken so easily, messing my future, abuse the respect. Seriously unprofessional and unethical.
Please do not bring up ethics the next time you want to negotiate or discuss things with others. You are undeserving to mention even the word.

Holiday happenings!!!!!
Anyway, throughout the holiday, I spent quite a lot of time 'yum cha' with my secondary classmates. A little disappointed that I am about to start my next semester just as everyone is coming back, but oh well, better some than none at all. Experience a lot of first time as well. Like first time reaching home at 4am, first time I watched a movie at Jusco Selatan and first time I am the driver for Su Wei (the only other person from secondary classmates than I drove for was Lydia back in 2009)
Secondly, I had massive improvements in terms of expression when I played my Associate pieces (repertoire). On the other hand, I am not as relax or calm as I should be. Instead, I have been rushing much more than I should. Time to take in a deep breath or take up yoga/meditation. I would have to say, I think my motivation started and came from the fact that a piano tuner can play better than me (on my own piano no less!) especially using pieces from Nodame Cantabile live drama. I mean, a piano tuner! My gosh, had a total change of perception on piano tuners now (the previous one was another one that requires mentioning but not this time).
Furthermore, I also became very immersed in bars, bartenders and drinks. Currently looking for a nice bar to have my first bar experience (when I say bar, I include bartenders as well). I believe that my fascination started with the anime Bartender and at that time, I thought I will be taking up hospitality and just learn how to be one, which also led me to be very attracted to flair-tending. Alas, fate has other plans in store for me. Anyway, my initial fascination died off and re-ignited when I read the Bartender manga. Although the main character was being potrayed differently and some happenings being removed or distorted, the essence of the story remained. I really hoped a bar like that existed.
Last but not least, I spent a day with Randy and learnt so many things from him. I mean, I found out more about Christianity and the current state of affairs. Heck, even getting lost is a fun experience cause we supposed to attend a play. Thanks to my idiocy, I forgot the way to KLPAC and eventually, lost the chance to watch Julius Caesar. Though, the day wasn't really that destroyed despite the disappointment of not being able to watch the play. Because later I get to enjoy great roasted(?) chicken wings and boxers at one end of Jalan Alor, drank sugar cane juice mixed with lemon juice and ate a bowl of assam laksa which is quite tasty for Kuala Lumpur standard.
Honestly speaking, that wasn't really the last but I guess Ipoh trip deserve a post by itself.
And there you go, the consolidated blog post(CBP) of my holiday.

Shocku!!!!
Basically, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 has those typical not-so-cool-artwork-but-surprisingly-nice-storyline. I am serious about it! I mean, two siblings, with the sister (Mirai) being the 'bored with life' kind and the brother (Yuuki), so optimistic and always want others to be happy, finding their way back home and an unknown lady (Mari) who always helped them but also has a family to go back see so many things throughout the journey back home. Their strength supported each other all the time!
But Shocku!!!!! part to me appear when at the last moment of episode 10 or during the whole last episode, Yuuki actually died already when in the earlier episodes, it looks as if Mirai was dreaming of his death. And it is his apparition that encouraged and supported Mirai.
I was crying while watching the last episode cause it is so damn sad and come as a shock!!!!

Midori Lantern, Kung Fu パンダ and X-Otoko
First movie I watched was Green Lantern (thanks to my bro's gf) and its the preview, so I think I sort of get bragging rights? XD
Then next day, I watched Kung Fu Panda 2 and X-Men : First Class. Both shows are meant for different market segment but I find both highly enjoyable.
Yup, kinda tired now, so this is short! XD

AA and crap talk!!!!
Anyway, today was full of AA questions and hearing coversation between part-timers and Mr. Ong. Highly interesting as I get to know more about Petronas companies and business. Not to say I can't find out about it myself, but I rather have the human communication/touch, get me?
Best part of the day was, went out to eat at Asia Cafe with Mr. Ong, Eric, Jerry and Jerry's driver. Man, it was damn fun!!! Everyone is so damn funny and this is the first time I stayed till so late not for any event purposes ( AniManGaki and ICAEW events) but for academic purposes!!! Ok la, I am exaggerating, I wasn't really studying, more like enjoying myself with a few friends.
I realised one thing today, part-timers are actually like normal students, just that some of them carry a slightly more matured mindset and more knowledgeable in business world. But at the end of the day, they are still students!!!!
Yup, yup, its the simple things in life that brings me the greatest joy!! In short, today is one of the best day I had!!!!

Samurai Deeper Kyo : Final Stop
The series, which contains 308 chapters was no easy feat to complete. Though, 308 chapters roughly translated to 7 years of serialization. How cool and long running is that!! I mean, ignoring the fact that they are some manga going beyond that mark.
Chapters and length aside, the manga was so damn good because it strikes a chord in anybody's heart. When the mangaka(Kamijyo Akimine) masterfully weave in human values, bond of friendship or hatred, different paths but same goal and 'masks' that everyone wears, its hard not to be able to connect with any of the characters. And the moral of the story itself, by the mangaka herself, are stay stong in what you belief, pushing forward without fear or doubt and live life to the fullest!!
I would say every character, regardless of how small or brief their appearance might seem, foolish even at the beginning, plays a great part in the story. The main character himself, Kyo, was actually driven by all the other characters. By himself, he would seem to be a little bland, or normal, except for his way of words. As he speaks in a way that sounds very harsh, the kindness within his words can only be understood by people that understand him well. Kyo and the other characters as well, showed me what life in. In the sense that we get blinded all too often with what is in front of us rather than the truth that lies behind everything.
Before reading Samurai Deeper Kyo, I was constantly rethinking of my present and doubting myself. Am I really suited to be in the field I am studying? Would I be able to excel to my own expectation and of others that I felt indebted to? Why am I doing this? For money, for better livelihood or for family? Then, I realise, the message was clear all the while in the Samurai Deeper Kyo. Clear such foolish thought, just stick to your path and give it your all. Doubting yourself, even a small one, is enough to bring the whole person down.
So, for this two things, I will give it my all. Piano and ICAEW. I will be Associate for both. Instill fun and happiness in children whenever they hear music or play the piano. Be financially free and contribute to the society.
Yeah, most probably I will need to go to Samurai Deeper Kyo : Final Stop to remind me of this.

Buck up!!!!!
Yeah, especially since I failed AA paper, and its about half a month since I got my result on 28 April. Nothing surprising I guess, since I had been quite weak in the paper all this while.
So, cry over spilt milk? No way! That ain't me. I am the type to let it pass and just work harder for the forthcoming papers, which are AA and FA. So, yala! will just work harder.
Though, I still promised myself a movie and I watched it already. Its Fast and Furious 5 : The Rio Heist aka Fast 5. I am generally satisfied with the movie, its just that I didn't like the fact that they cut out the race(s) scene save for one. I mean, for me, Fast and Furious was never about the plot, it was all about Cars, Women, Cars, Macho, Cars, Underground and CARssss!!!!
So, you get my drift. XD Yeah, recently taken a liking to pun as well.
Ah, back to topic, its time to BUCK UP!!! and my pull my socks while I am at it. :P

Trip back to old school!!! WOO YEA!!!!
I don't know what else to say. This week was the open week for Sri Garden and I purposely chosen this day to have a look at my alma mater. I practically spent 12 years, at least, in Sri Garden. I know each spot at my fingertips. Having spent so many years there, it was a great big dose of happiness injected into me today.
Each teacher that taught me before didn't fail to left me which some words of wisdom. Particularly Mrs. Pang, who taught me when I was in Pre-School (5 years old). Her words clearly resound in my ears "Be a somebody and contribute back to society." Of course, my other teachers, those that taught me from the time I was in Primary Standard 1 to Secondary Form 5, told me other worldly wisdom. It was just great to see them again.
I feel more prepared and ready again to face ICAEW. Again. And especially with AA results coming out soon, I shall think that this visit is just what I need to get going. XD
Anyway, in chronological order :
Woke up a little later than expected this morning but still able to make it in time. XD, the guards actually thought I was there for IU night(which tickets were sold out way earlier than I found out) and told me to come back at 5 pm. I was like, no, I am here for Open Day, I want to look at the school and get info for my friends' siblings. One of the guards recognise me and say, yala, can go in la, ex-student mah. Then got settle. Manage to go in and have a little updates about Sri Garden International. Like the new system, timing, changes, all those kind of stuff.
Best part of the day, meeting all my teachers and two young guides to take me around (or the other way around?). Yeah, and I took too much of their time but glad that they have fun. All the teachers thought that they are my sisters wei! XD
So, about Sri Garden International, the only major change is the International Block where classes and walls are fairly new. There are interactive whiteboards too which some teachers tellign me that they are just getting used to it.
Glad to see that most teachers are here. Also met with Ariff, the small boy who counted the books wrongly, each time.
Yeah, basically that's it for the day. Now I am happy to get my failing results for PT on Monday and Wednesday, regardless what happen. Cause if I ever fall emotionally, it would waste my teachers' time and effort for the day.
Adios, minna-san!!!
PS: I would definitely recommend Sri Garden International over Sunway International School. Due to the fact that I was highly judgemental on its Marketing Department. SIS one was damn arrogant and bitchy, SGI was much mroe polite. SIS was like, ah I look down on you because you are a kid, SGI don't really mind that I am a kid. XD

Life : Meaning?
Anyway, reading a damn good book entitled error-nomics by joseph t. hallinan which explores the science behind making mistakes (ok, the actual subtitle is why we make mistakes and what can we do to avoid them). Quite an interesting read I must say, because it included many references, experiments and explanation.
For example, one issue touched on was, does more information makes you more accurate or merely increases your self-confidence? There is also the problem that our minds are automatically tinted with rose-colour. For example, you might think that things were actually better than it actually was! Mind you, these are the few things I picked up but truthfully speaking, the best about the book was only this sentence :
The currency of life, is not money, but time.
Which led me to think, so, value of life is, happiness? XD yeah, proud of myself to think up of it but in hindsight, I notice that people should have noticed that by now right? Since it is pretty much common knowledge.
And I just came upon this realisation (though, not to sound like a sour grape), I rather not get any World Prize, lest I am expected to be an outstanding employee. I am happy with passing everything by only using the first attempt, learning all the much more important living skills life will throw to me. :D

Resting day!! XD
Anyway, by mid-day, my dizziness subsided and was feeling much better ady, so my mother dragged me to accompany her at Pavilion. Nothing much to do except the usual. XD, kinda short at this stage cause there is nothing much to write.
The real fiesta starts in the night!!! So basically, went to yumcha with a few people (Su Wei, Jun Jin, Sonia, Sow Yeng, Chun Tean, Lilian, Yee Jean and unexpected guest). Supposed to start at 10pm but dragged till 11.30pm and as usual, at the mamak place, I ordered Roti Naan Cheese and Teh C.
Anyway, we were talking way too much crapped until the unexpected guest came!! He greeted us with a " Are you guys all blind ar??" *claps *cheers *screams from everyone who were present!! because he is, none other than, Edward who came back from UK for Easter Holidays! All the other tables were like looking at us la. Because of our ruckus!
Except Yap Yee Jean, cause she was the one that planned it with Edward. Anyway, continued talking crap until we decided to continue at Edward's house and played Twister. Turns out to be damn obscene at some point of the game and damn yoga-ish. One of the conspiracy/theory we had was that this game was created by guys who wanted to molest girls, indirectly. XD
First time playing Twister, and damn fun I tell you!! I nearly broke my leg due to over-stretching! XD
Well, that's for the day folks! Have fun!
*Time to focus on FA, TX and Piano!! Oh yeah!!
Thursday, April 7, 2011
Musings~
Yumcha tomorrow night with some Form 5classmates! Woo hoo~~~~
Will talk about frustration towards BDO some other time.

Must be written!!!
Basically started the class being only slightly late, about 15 minutes or so. Which still got me a simple reprimand. Anyway, the real deal started after the lunch break Mr. Simon gave, which involves a condom (hereafter referred to as rubber), pen and pencil and a lot of shouting and screaming!!!
What happened was, I never really seen a rubber before, so I just ask if I can open it la, and they keep pushing it to each other, so I just tore the packaging. Damn, the first thing I touch was something pretty much wet, slippery and sticky. First reaction was YUCK!!!! and I instantly dashed to the toilet to wash my hand.
Coming back from toilet, I saw another friend trying to demonstrate the elasticity of the rubber and initially, Shu Tin's mechanical pencil was used and then finally, my pen! Though, I think my Blue Kok almost became a victim, but I am quite protective of it, so they can't use it. But I did my fair share of experiment by trying to see if the rubber leaks and it doesn't. So, I am quite satisfied with my results.
After that, I am forced to throw the pen away since it is more or less, rendered unusable due to stickiness and what not.. UGH!!!
The other best part of the day was celebrating Jed's birthday. Celebration turned food war I tell ya! Cause at first, we kept spraying whip cream at Jed, then don't know how and why, the cake became the ammunition. But I am quite sure, most of us, if not all, became dirty due to all the cream and cake. I myself got smeared on the face like *SPLAT on my face wei!
Though, everyone is co-operative and cleaned up the room. I was a little annoyed with myself that I wasted a chance to record a video today but no worries, many more birthday coming right up!
Simple fact : Turns out that the liquid is sort of like a disinfectant and lubricant. Reminds me of KY

Turn over a new leaf
XD, you guys must be thinking what the hell am I crapping about. Well, basically it is about my studies right now la. I will be sitting for Taxation and Financial Accounting paper in June (I do not even want to assume I will be re-sitting Audit and Assurance in June!!!). And after my saga in AA, I decided it is just best if I start practising from day 1 and also to strengthen my foundation.
I mean, CFAB was all happy and breezy but things really did change. No more the option of last minute studies, and definitely the (now not) applicable method of only practising to answer questions the week before.
So yeah, guess I will be forced to have better time management and all those stuff now. I mean, juggling between being a stable student, active club member and responsible teacher ain't easy. And the worst part, they are all crashing and blasting with a Bang in June/July!!!
Reason being :
1) I will be having 3 major subjects exam with Taxation and Financial Accounting as mentioned above, with the 3rd one being Associate in Piano Performance of London College of Music.
2) SUAC is having AniManGaki 2011 in July. And I am in sponsorship team again this year. Oh the stress! I am feeling it.. T.T
3) Since I am teaching piano now, on Saturday, my focus shift to being able to explain the theory aspect better, as most of my students are gonna sit for their theory exam in September. So that leaves me only, what, 5 months to make sure they can do it?
See, if I continue playing around with Tax and FA, I really don't know what will happen if any part of my plan go poof!!
But I guess all this are expected, huh? Since I signed up for CFAB in July 2009. Just a little sad that I haven't change enough to accomodate to the current situation. XD

Crush 'em!!!!
On the other hand, I know I should be working harder than ever because, I got myself a CAMCORDER!!! Hip-hip-hooraaaayyyyyy!!!! I initially wanted a Sony Handycam but couldn't find a reasonably priced one so instead, I settled for :
which records in HD and can take photos.(basic functions which are enough to satisfy me) . And it is made in Japan, therefore quality should be there. So far, couldn't find any unsatisfactory function or usage on it. Partially because I can't allow myself to spend too much time on it. Yet. I mean, AA is coming up right. XD
So yeah, actually it was kind of risky getting the camcorder first because I haven't pass my AA yet. Another way to look at is though, is that it is suppose to be a present or form of encouragement due to me completing my CFAB course.
Well, AA is the main priority now anyway. CFAB days are history. Our history. Time to crush it and no allowance for a limb to survive. Lest it becomes Anthony of Julius Caesar.

Quickie!!!!
- Congrats to BDO Batch 3 for completing their papers!!! Now I can fully commit to having a closer relationship with you guys!! XD
-First battle is coming up!! So, we better CRUSH them rather than only destroying. Yup, talking about Audit and Assurance paper now.
And that's it. But I think the best one is:
- I am highly inclined to think that I fall under NATO category in Mr. Ong's opinion. XD

Disguise wonder
Instead, I spend my time lazing around in the house and attending piano class.
I really wonder why that even after knowing what happened, I even felt happier. Like a YAY!!! sort-of-thing. Maybe I realised that I choose the right option of not attending. When I looked at the photos that were uploaded in Facebook, I smiled to myself, thinking 'Hey, they are all having fun'. with BDO Batch 3.
Hell, if I went, I will have to wear formal and go to Ampang Lookout Point, and I will reach home damn late, which is not a thing I want to risk, since I am starting to teach piano again, on Saturdays morning this time.
Or I need my own space, even in the company of my friends. Or, I am in denial.
Hah! I really don't know anymore. The biggest rock in my heart is not about my incompetence in Audit and Assurance but rather, I am in a state of denial.
Seriously, not going is a big big blessing in disguise. XD

War ahead!!!!!
One of it would be I am trying to adapt to the change that had taken place. And mind you, it is a damn drastic one! I totally don't blame anyone for the change that had taken place, only my own inability to take it in a stride. Time and again, I wanted to take some personal space for myself to grow and adapt, but time and again, I failed by falling hardly because of the soft and gentle words spoken by my friends. Maybe its time I just say TAK NAK(?) but damn, that sounds like the anti-smoking ad. In essence, I just gotta be stern on myself and move on. I can't stay in CFAB July 2009 forever. No doubt yeah, we were once bonded damn strong but grow up Jowena, things changed, human changed, I changed.
OK, maybe by trying to get my own personal space, I am running away. I don't want to constantly be surrounded by new faces. I want back the old faces of 9 everytime, but then, it wouldn't be fair to the new faces though. And sometimes, the old faces because they need to expand their zone as well. I mean, once the excitement and thrill is gone, everything becomes boring, and that's when signs of divorce start to happen. :P
Secondly, I think I might have too much on my plate or I am just that sucky in time management that everything seems to be a big mess. I have to get my Associate Piano pieces settled up quick, so many loopholes here and there. Then, SUAC by committing for meetings and AniManGaki 2011 (the last one I will be able to help out properly). Last but not the least, juggling between revisioning AA and TX, and splitting my focus or adjust my priority. I am highly tempted to just start working and go with the change.
Thirdly, I am beginning to feel like a disabled. Like how I keep wanting to go out and have fun with friends but the uselessness of not owning a car. I mean, I am totally fine with going to a friend's place and car pool but I don't even do that. I just wait at my home for my friend to arrive and say, "Let's go!!". That's quite pathetic and useless, isn't it? T.T
Sigh, after so many things and nothing related to the exam. I am pretty messed up, aren't I?
The world stops for no one, only one who stops as the world goes ahead. To the lifeless drone,a slacker he is called. To the wise, he is an observer of humanity.

Gentle reminder
Railton, Knox, Howitt, Plender,
Hewitt, Northcott, with Stephens,
Cassleton Elliott and Arthur Swinson
Blurry names and hunted words,
Doubtful signages of my road,
Wisdom and wit are the traits,
For those worthy of their bait,
Fear not for the torture,
Which awaits in road of allure,
The treasure in hand is worth,
More than a mountain on earth.
Ardous journey I fear not,
Rather more the escape of thought,
I would love the prize(s),
But jack of all trades I rather be
Better still, I reach the end,
For the One Piece I stretch my hand,
Where I can combine and join,
The knowledge and wisdom of three years,
And be the master of most trade.
The three One Piece I eye,
Is Quilter, Walton, Whinney!
Rather the assimilation,
Than sole recognition.
With that, I shall persevere!!
YAY!!!!!!!! I am done with the poem. Yes, my very own gentle reminder. XD

Call of desperation
And for once, this shall appear..

One of the wonderful times XD
So, basically, we all ate Thai food and I think I will classify this as a 10-course dinner, because there is just so much food!!! But the day before the dinner, I was under intimidation threat by Mr. Simon la and Shu Tin lied to me. In short, a lie became a truth. Concisely, Shu Tin called me in the afternoon and said all of us are gonna wear formal. Not only that, apparently I was ordered to wear skirt (again?) by Mr. Simon, according to Shu Tin. I sort of know that Shu Tin is lying ady la but the worse bit is, at night, Mr. Simon really did call me to wear skirt AND if I don't, I risk not having the free dinner!! See, the intimidation threat I am talking about.
Dinner was damn fun as well!! Because we all talked crap and when there are two great lecturers like Mr. Simon and Mr. Ong, life just can't get any better. Ok, maybe its exaggeration but seriously, this is like the two best guys to learn things from. Not in the philosophical way, but more like the ugly truth type. This is one of the moments where I really wish for a camera/camcorder. I mean, when they are so many funny things going on, you can't help not keeping it permanently! XD
After that, we all went to watch a movie together, minus the two great lecturers. Faster is the title, and I will tell you, even I find it a little mundane. I am not really sure what kinda genre it is, but I did not really feel enough suspense or any adrenaline coursing through my veins. First time watching late night show with classmates.
But the better part of it is, the guys kept complaining that its thursday (aka ladies night for euphoria) and its like a hot chicks mecca, so they are kinda frustrated that so many hot chicks around but they can't do anything. Anyway, they went to mamak after that. So, really no difference la. XD

Skirt? Skirt?? SKIRT?????
It started off by being a bet between Mr. Ong and me or more like a challenge. I don't know which word fits here, really. But the basic is, if Mr. Ong teaches CFAB July 2009 (now ICAEW-FT-Jan-2010) Audit and Assurance paper, I will wear a skirt for first day of class. And being a man, who is proven by what he does and not what he says, I wore the skirt.
The 1st second already marks the hilarity of the whole day when CFAB July 2009 start saying things like "no wonder it rain', 'ah, 2012 really end of the world' and the likes. Cause I was really amused when I heard so. Laughed my head off as well.
Then, first thing Mr. Ong did once he entered class was to point at me, sort of signifying like, 'did you stick to your promise; kind of thing. So, yeah, random laughter here and there. I mean, he called me to stand in front of the class to show them and said he felt cheated/gutted because I wore my bicycle shorts underneath. Walau, want to con me to wearing skirt on the next day somemore. No such luck Mr. Ong!!XD
Then, the next grand finale is Mr. Ong called up Mr. Simon to come to the class. Just to see me in.. skirt. Yeah, damn crappy wei!! And I seriously wanted to walk out of the class if not for the threat (gah, intimidation was used on me!!!) that I might be noted as absent then admin people will call up my parents. So yeah, Mr. Simon really came and another funny drama which, sort of la, happened like this: So, Mr. Simon knocked on the door, came in and asked me to stand-up, and being the joker I am, of course I decline la and said what's wrong with seeing me sitting? Then, Mr. Ong also attempt to persuade me and I finally relented, cause if I don't, these two big, big jokers are gonna do the somewhat unthinkable. So, I stood and Mr. Simon still says he can't see it, I sort of like called him to adjust himself to see la, then Mr. Ong pulled my table to one side and I pulled it back. Damn, thinking it back, its just damn fun. XD Then, Mr. Simon started telling about 'improvements' that I should made. Meh, another laughed my heads off moment. But I still think Shu Tin listened intently to what he said la. XD.
Yup, kinda rambunctious moment. XD
In short, I stil hate wearing skirt but if it makes people happy, why not? BUT!!! This does not mean I will be wearing it often. EOS. XD

Happy New Year aka entered 2011
Anyway, point is I want to talk more about my 2010. I mean, because 2010 ended, so we have 2011. I intend to put down pointless things like the books I borrowed from library throughout the year, crappy stuff that I did, random jokes I encountered, you know, those kind of things.
But my final day of 2010 is among the best I can get la. Because managed to have steamboat while countdown with Sonia, Sow Yeng, Su Wei, Chun and Yee Jean (ok, she came pretty late but who cares? XD). Then also video called Hui Jian and Chia Hoong. Some things just never change. And it is better that way. I think homeostasis in motion?
I partially blame that on the sudden class size increase!! Yes, I have not make peace with the fact that instead of 3, I have to adapt to about 17 people. Dude, its more than 10!!!! ARGH!!! And if my guess is right, seems like I am being sugar-coated poo!
Enough of that, I am suppose to start my new year happily, so yeah! about 12 hours time, I am gonna post up random facts from 2010 and random expectations fot 2011. XD
