Paper 2.4 & 2.6 With Paper 3.2- Final Decision

-
After some arguing with my mum & discussions with Caifeng & my cousin, Jolene, I signed up for the 2 papers that I failed with the current paper, Advanced Taxation that I am taking.

I guessed Jason & Richard were stunned by my decision. My decision was a bit forced on by my mum, but after hearing what Caifeng & Jolene said, I agreed that the tax paper changes every seating, and I am already halfway there. Today was Lesson 10. There was no point to obtain the refund just to take 2.4.

Was not in the mood to work today, so took half a day to register & went walking around Orchard Rd with Jason. Have to really thank him as I informed him on short notice. Thanks buddy.

He accommpanied me by talking & giving me advice. Besides him, got to thank Krys & Rebecca for the encouraging sms.

Krys: Gosh, dun b too upset k, can try again.
Rebecca: Is it possible to appeal, dun b too upset.... Take care.

These two gals, really serve their occupation as teachers with a kind heart!!!

I really appreciate it, thanks.

Try your best. 2.4 definitely the killer, I've tons of friends been tied down by that stupid paper cos the material covered is too wide. Anyway, work hard and I hope your mum wont give u too much pressure to pass. As long as you tried, just give yourself a pat on your back and said, "I did well"

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
