Os is nearing
Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 10/19/2010 12:23:00 AM
Can't wait for this long weekend to come as I am clearing 3 days leave for my O lvl exams! Haven't been touching it for the past few months. Wasn't really confident of getting the results that I have initially set. Priority takes away my time as I needed more time for my ACCA papers. But I will still try it out.
Soon after that, I am going on an overdrive mode to prepare myself for my ACCA papers. No more weekend fun. Hopefully I can resist the temptation.
Someone date me out to study please so that I won't always be tempted by my comfortable bed or the exciting laptop whenever I studied halfway through!
Cheers~

the future's not ours to see
Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 10/12/2010 11:02:00 PM
I felt damn shiok just now! I was thinking real hard about one of my accounting questions. And after analysing it for the whole afternoon, I finally managed to figure out the logic and reasons for the concept and it gives me a feeling of invincibility which motivates and gives me confidence to tackle future tough questions. That's the satisfaction that I got from studying and I really enjoy it, although it is rather stressful in the beginning.
After studying ACCA for the last 3 months, I felt that I don't regret choosing this path. Initially, when I studied Fundamentals of Accounting in my Polytechnic days, I was rather rejected to it as I felt that it was a boring job for boring people. And also the initial reasons that I studied ACCA was only because of recommendations from other people- it is not my first choice of study initially (I planned to study Economics and Finance in SIM-RMIT). I only studied it because it has good prospects for my future, not because of my interest.
When i first started, I struggled. I wonder what is the purpose of me studying accounting? Why must I calculate the cost of the process? Why must I debit it and credit it? But then, as time progress, I start to appreciate the concept and analogy of accounting. The importance of the role of an accoutant in an organization. It exceeded my intially expectation of an accountant. And I must say I starts to enjoy the process of studying accounting. Not only it is as unboring as I thought, it exceeded my expectations of gaining some other knowledge in regards to business rather than just doing accounts.
And I would like to thank every people that is around me, especially to my mates that I have got to know in camp. Sometimes, even by chance, we would talk about our future, studies and etc. And the way they see their future, the views on how they learn, really motivates me. Those small burst of adrenaline rush is rather important. I must thank fate for bringing me to meet these people.
Do you think everything is linked and fated? Maybe. I injured my arms when I was in Secondary two. Subsequently, I injured my hand again and again. Now after enlisted into army, I became a keyboard warrior due to my injury and got an office hour job. I met some people which somehow influence me on the path that I took and I ended up studying part-time. So what's my future? Just like the song "Que Sera, Sera" goes, "the future's not ours to see", but I know that the decisions that you take now shape the future of you. And I can sense the firmness of my footing on my path that I have taken. And I hope that all my friends have found theirs too.
Cheers~

Life is Sudden

Life can be so sudden sometimes. Mr Goh Keng Swee, one of our founding fathers, passed away in May. Dr Balaji, one of our Senior Minister, passed away in September. My idol, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, lifetime partner, Mdm Kwa Geok Choo passed away last week. And I just recieved a news that my form teacher of my Secondary 3 class in Ngee Ann Secondary collapsed and passed away suddenly. And I guess he was only at the age of 40 or less? I can still vividly remember him using his monotonous voice(like me), teaching us Physics in the lab even though it is something that happened 7 years ago.
Life can be so sudden, thus we have to cherish every day that we are given, thank god for allowing you to see the next sunrise, and live life to the fullest so that you will have no regrets.
cheers~
