Last paper

Just finish my last paper,Performance Management today.The paper was so tough.The questions..basically only two types.Based on the given information regarding the company,have to do some calcultion and..give comments or suggestions..If i knew,i would have thrown away the book and just concentrate on calculations.The commenting and suggestions are basically based on common sense.

Happy that i finished my exam..but if only i can do a little better in my exams.Not satisfied cos what came out has nothing to do with what i studied for the past few days.Feels like my effort is a waste.Should have done some other better things.

My plan for today after exam was to go out for dinner with cousin and then shopping.But,don't know how..there was some misunderstanding so here i am.Maybe will go out with sis for dinner and then come back and watch movie then sleep early.Looking like a panda now,just not that cute only.

Hopefully everything goes fine tomorrow.Can't wait to go shopping with mum and AM.Looking forward to it..and at night might go for badminton or movies with friends.Haven't decide which yet cos have to see what time i will be going back home.

*Keeping fingers crossed*

Got to go and have my dinner now.

One more to go..

Finally it was time for me to sit for my ACCA exams.

I am done with my first part and now,the second part.Weeks before the exam,i was already feeling the stress.And it got worst as the exam got nearer.

First paper was Taxation.I have never studied tax before.Therefore i find it really difficult for me.Most of my stress was on this paper and it was so great that a day before i was suppose to go to Penang,i had difficulty sleeping.When i finally managed to sleep,i was having one dream after another,all was about my exam.Woke up so many times thinking that i will die of heart attack.Woke up at 8 something and started studying...was super productive.Managed to memorise and revise all the chapters in a few hours.So,was not so worried after that though i was still very scared.Then,went to Penang and continue revising.Had a really good sleep cos i was so tired.The paper was...okay.Hope that i will pass.

My second paper was Corporate and Business Law and it was the very next day.Imagine what my poor brain had to go through.After days of memorising tax,then it was law (in less than a day cos i finished my tax paper at 6.15 and by the time i went back,it was around 7pm).Brain of course went on strike.Nothing went in,nothing made sense,nothing stayed in the head..Pulun until 3am that night and woke up at 8.30am to continue revising.Did a lot of calculation to estimate the percentage that i will pass because i was thinking of letting go a long chapter.In the end,revised all because that chapter itself will have at least 3-4 questions out of 10.So,got to revise no matter what.Don't know how i managed but i just did it.Was glad that i did cos i could 'goreng' my way through with what i remember.

After both the exams,the stress was immediately gone.Really feeling it.I could smile when i talk and joke around (Was smiling the whole day i think.I was smiling not because i am sure i will pass or i did well but..just that i have tried my best.Feels satisfying).

Today was suppose to start revising for my last paper which is on Monday..but.....was busy shopping with family almost the whole day.Maybe will do a chapter after this and tomorrow really STUDY.Sigh...Can't wait for the last paper to be over and really enjoy myself during the break.Going to plan lots of things so that i will maximise my break =)

START STUDYING ONCE THE CLASSES START
When i was studying my tax and law,i regretted for not studying right after lessons and doing it regularly.Kept on giving myself excuses.So,got to change next semester since i will be taking more difficult papers if i pass all my papers.Don't want to have the 'heart attack' again.

What should i be?

Lately,i have been thinking a lot about my future..What do i really want to be in a few years time?Possibilities that i have thought of:

~An accountant - Because i am studying it now.Planning to get the certificate then earn some $$ before doing something else.But it is SO TOUGH to study for the exams.Should i just quit and do something that i want?That's very tempting..

~Opening my own nursery - Simple reason..because i love kids.

~Opening a bridal shop - This idea came from watching too much of Home&Health.What interest me is being able to find the perfect wedding dress for people.

~Party planner - In school,whenever there are parties to plan,i won't mind getting involved.After all the hard work,it is nice and satisfying to see people enjoying themselves.

~Owning an ice-cream shop - Ice-cream is my favourite dessert.I love how they always look so yummy,pretty and colourful.Maybe sis and i can be partners..she bakes cakes and i make ice-cream..perfect dessert shop.

~Anything related to dance - But at the moment,this doesn't seem possible.It has been so long and i am still looking for a partner.Why is it so DIFFICULT to find?

These are the crazy ideas that have been going through my mine.I think it is from the stress of studying for my exams.Will see after the exam whether i will still be thinking of them.

Minor exam is over

Ah..Finally,my Malaysian Studies exam is over.Hopefully i am done with it for good.

Yesterday,drove back to Penang after 3 weeks.My nephew was happy to see us (sis and me) i think.Usually after kindergarten,he will be upstairs playing with his toys and watching movies but yesterday,he brought his toys and movies down to our room to play.He even took out his books to read to us (Cute part was when he keeps telling me how DIFFICULT his work is compared to MINE).Everything seems so nice and fine in Penang...until...it was time time to sleep.I only remember tossing and turning the whole night..

And because of that,took a 'nap' for almost 5 hours after reaching AS.Now,i am recharged and ready to go for badminton.I know i am suppose to be recharged to study but a little break won't harm i guess.I will study tonight (that is IF there is nothing interesting on the tv) =P

*Time to get ready my 'weapons' for badminton*

Ben 10!

This little boy loves Ben 10..and the song he is singing is suppose to be the theme song for Ben 10.I am not sure how the song sounds like.



So C-U-T-E right?

It started when an alien device did what it did
And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid
Now he's got super powers, he's no ordinary kid
He's Ben 10

So if you see him you might be in for a big surprise
He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes
He's slimy, freaky, fast and strong, he's every shape and size
He's Ben 10

Armed with powers, he's on the case
Fighting off evil from Earth or space
He'll never stop till he makes them pay
'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day
Ben 10

Wednesday and today

Today has been quite a productive day for me.Managed to finish studying what i wanted to even though i went for 2 hours of badminton.Well,have to thank my best buddy for teman-ing me.If not,i think i will be in dreamland now.

Nothing much happened lately..except i went to Seoul Garden with sis and friends.Had so much fun cooking the food and trying to be creative.Luckily,no one ended up having diarrhea..cos most of us there don't know how to cook.Then,went for movie.For me,it was just okay as i was too busy trying to not to fall asleep.


That's a little something.Got to go sleep now..If not,tomorrow won't be able to wake up when mum turns off the aircon.Goodnight...

Busy


I am so NOT prepared for my exam this time.Hoping that i will pass because i don't want to have to retake any of the papers again =( But i don't know how i am going to do it because i HAVEN'T FINISH STUDYING.My law is still okay.Management..got to do my own studying because the lecturer is...Taxation is my nightmare.Not because i don't like it but i can't seem to remember all those steps,which is where,how to get the amount,deductible/not deductible/taxable/not taxable/exempted..just the thought of it is making me have a headache.

I think i need to lock myself in a room,away from everything especially the distractions to be able to concentrate and get the momentum.But how to when there are so many things that I HAVE TO DO?

Stress level going up,up...UP.

*Current status: Busy and not available (Until June)*

Char Bee Teh

Char bee teh..fried rice tea (direct translation)

This is one the 'traditional' dish my grandmother
will prepare.Something different from what we eat nowadays.But i heard from my grandmother that one can buy it in Johor (i haven't been there so

1) Three kinds of fried veges.The first two are just vege while the last one is with dried shrimp.

2) Peanuts and sesame seeds.

3) Pickled vege (i think...)

4) Boiled beans.

These are all the cooked things for the dish.

Finally..the 'tea'.It is made from different types of mints (are there many types of mint?).According to my grandmother,the tea she made today has 7 types of mint.


This is the different types of mint,all chopped up and later blended before adding it with tea.


This is how the 'tea' looks like..Doesn't look that nice right?But wait till you taste it..


How is this eaten?

First,pour in the fried rice (rice crispy) and then add all the cooked things.


After that,pour in the hot 'tea'..


The smell of the different types of mint...the minty taste,don't have to worry about it being very bitter cos the veges somehow lessen it...the soaked rice crispy in the hot 'tea'...the crunch from the peanut in between the veges and soaked rice...the slight salty taste from veges and dried shrimp...the boiled beans...Combine all and it is SUPERB!

Two thumbs up for this dish..How can it not be when almost everyone in my family loves it and will go for second round.Proves my grandmother has...(green fingers for plants..for food?)..Well,whatever it is then.

There is another thing that she prepares which is really nice.Will blog about it when i have the chance to snap some photos (without the photos..don't think you all will know what i am talking about.Haha!)
