A Happy Day Intitally, But Turned Out A Stormy Day Instead!

-
I was rather sad when I saw this in my e-mail a few hours ago.

Paper 2.4 Financial Management & Control - 42- Fail
Paper 2.6 Audit & Internal Review - 47 Fail

I could not bring myself to believe that I have done so badly for my results this round, as I have been confident of a pass. Even my mum & brother was surprised that they needed to slap themselves to believe that I have actually flunked my Dec 2005 sittings. Looks like Singapore Expo wasn't a good hunting ground for me as that was the place where I started with all these failings.

I was surprised by the fact that mum did not blame me or scold me for the poor results, but it makes me feel more gulity as she is the one sponsoring my studies for the moment. She told me that I have done my best and wants me to continue on.

I am still thinking if I should carry on, having failed 3 times for Paper 2.4. I am actually suffering a loss of confidence in my work and study. I just find it hard to juggle out the best of the two. Sometimes I wonder why I can't be like my buddy, Rich, who cleared his papers all at one go. I kept reminding myself that ACCA is tough.I have to agree with what mum said. I still have to work & support the family, at least got some money to spend for myself. I think my mind will wonder if I were to stop working & study fukk time, and you will never know when my parents changes their mind.

The following options are open to me for ACCA, which I am still mauling over what to choose.

  1. Take a break for the Jun 2006 sitting & retake 2.4 & 2.6 in the Dec 2006 sitting. This is an option which I am seriously thinking
  2. Take 2.4, 2.6 & 3.2 (the current paper I am taking for class) in Jun 2006. This was the option recommended by mum & brother as they feel that I can cope with 3.2 as it is a tax paper, something that I deal in work everyday. The gap between the papers are about 5-6 days apart, but I seriously doubt I will take this option, as it could entail me to another failure, as 2.4 & 2.6 are always together.
  3. Take 2.4 & 2.6 on a revision class basis & stop my 3.2 for the time being. The catch up class will be starting soon, whereas the revision intensive class is in May 2006.
  4. Just take 2.4 & defer the rest to a later semester.

What do you guys think? I am totally at a loss now.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
