Day Out

Celebrate after knowing our ACCA results? Not really... Tend to lie low coz passing the core papers ain't the end of our war. But we did organise an outing for 9 to Midvalley last Saturday for the sake of food and movie.

Sorry for the delay. Got the photos from Joo Sim 2 days ago.

Here's where we started our day. Lunch at Gardens Sushi Zanmai.


Featuring the out-goers...


Some of my friends wondered why the guy in the center gets a larger share in the photo above compared to the others. Well, he's our course rep. Should be given a better treat. Haha... Status makes a difference.

Ordered quite a lot of food. Ala carte for ourselves and sushi on Kok Loong. Thanks BOSS!

Part of the food on our table

Next would be AFA2 committee behind the scene.
Too cute to resist huh? LOL...

There were only 2 thorns among the roses. So, they were overjoyed. Look at the smile on their faces. As if they won the 1st prize in lottery. Juz kidding.

Surrounded by pretty babes. Ah bliss!

By appearance, the committee may look serious at work. But in fact... We are as playful as everyone does. Crazily attracted to the camera then. Couldn't bear to see themselves not being captured.

Can you spot the difference???

Group portrait is certainly not to be missed

Left Sushi Zanmai with bloated tummies. Oh my... Overly filled by sushi and bento. 2 hours before it's time for our movie. Some gals went to shopping while the rest of us lingered around the mall, randomly snapping photos as we went.

An hour later, we stopped by Baskin Robbins for ice-cream. Wow... Had we digest our heavy lunch?

Wey Shin's & mine. Forgot the names!

The big eaters. Muahahaha...

Handmade starry starry night

4.20pm at Hall 17. Watched Up In The Air as recommended by Kok Loong. None of us had any idea what the show was all bout.


I was bored at the very beginning. Slow moving, not much of actions and too much of talking. But that's the beauty of the show. You have to listen well to their dialogues to get the jeez of it. Luke was sound asleep towards the end. Duh!

Dinner at Kim Gary. Tummy growling in hunger. Camwhored while waiting for our food to be served.

Fellow committee again

Joo Sim suggested something really silly. 3 of us pretended to be cute tigress. Swt...

Vote for the CUTEST ^_^

Our set dinner. Look good but taste not-too-bad...

Last photo of the day. Ended with all smiles.

Too Good To Be True

Last Monday was a predicament to all ACCA students who sat for December 2009 exam. Results to be released at 2pm. But people were sitting in front of their computers, trying to log into the website as early as 12am. Well, one of them was myself. Hehe... Too ashamed to admit though coz it was written on the website "results available from GMT 0500 onwards" which is 2pm in Malaysia. My mistake!

Was too afraid to check my results. I lowered my expectation in order to avoid disappointment. Hoping to get a pass in PA as I think I did fairly well. While my coursemates were results shopping during AT lecture, I had nothing to share. Received the notification from ACCA later than the rest of them.

So, let's begin to scroll.

Very slowly... One by one...


Wow... To my surprise, I passed 3 out of 4 papers. What a bliss!

22 February 2010 is one of the historical day in my life. I hadn't been so fortunate for a long time. The feeling couldn't be described by words. Used to grief so much over my nasty results ever since my 1st failure in FM last year followed by PA and BA last semester. Now, I have something to be proud of.

I did it. Yes, I've regained my victory. My parents were overjoyed. I believe grandpa is looking over me from above. Thanks for all the blessings, grandpa... Will see you on Ching Ming next month.

Looking forward to June's sitting. I wonder how I'll be doing then. May luck always stay by my side. God bless too.

Panic Stricken

Online at places with wifi. AGAIN...

Yesterday at Sri Rampai Old Town. Today at Jusco McDonalds.

*grumble to the max*

When is my god-damn Streamyx gonna be repaired? It's the fourth day already. I'm so lifeless without Internet at home. I wanna start doing my assignments. I wanna watch dramas on Youtube. I wanna Facebook. I have lots and lots of things to do!

Gotta type as fast as I could. Lappy battery is going off soon. No socket in McD. Duh... Why things seem not to be going well?

*shake head*

Watched 2 movies lately.


Watched this one myself in Times Square sometime before CNY. Went shopping for bags, passed by the cinema, stood in front of the poster, thought for a min... Alright. Let's go!

Nice one. Fairytale story. Well, the title of the movie tells it all. I kinda laughed my ass off from the beginning and cried my heart out towards the end. The dialogues were funny and touching. The Rock is good at making faces too. Overall, I love it.

Watched this one with bro 2 days ago. We actually planned to watch it with our parents last Sunday to celebrate both CNY and Valentine's Day. It's been a while since the 4 of us go for a movie together. Unfortunately, the mishap ruined our plan and everything has to be cancelled.

Valentine's Day is bout the love life of a few couples. Look at the list of cast. WOW... Wonderful actors and actresses. We were really impressed when we saw the trailer. Expecting it to be an excellent show. It's not too disappointing though. Only the plot isn't that well-planned. 130 mins are hardly enough to move from a story to another. But the ending is not bad. Acceptable.

Noticed I didn't take much photos this CNY, unlike last year. Lacked of CNY mood. Family affairs and ill for twice in 2 weeks took my mood away. But then, the poster outside the Midvalley Watson is really cute. So, we took one there before we left.

Bro with his undone hair

Me with a pale face

Had a piece of Mango Delight at Secret Recipe too. So random huh? Dessert is the best medicine when you are having a bad mood. True enough...

Mmm mmmm... ^^

By the way, 3 more days to go before the release of ACCA results. Gosh... I'm getting panic, you know? Though I'm ready to face the worst outcome, basically all FAILED!

*touchwood*

Still, I wish I could juz get through at least one subject. My main target is to clear off my fundamental paper. I mean Financial Management.

Oh please...

Couldn't do much now. Wait for the results with patience. Hopefully, Streamyx comes back to life by then. I wanna check my results at home. I don't wanna get a heart attack somewhere in the public.

That's so embarassing!

Tragedy

When everybody was happily looking forward to celebrate CNY, my family on the other hand was left in sorrow. I remember how shocking I was the minute I received the call from mum last Tuesday night. Rushed back to hometown the next day to settle grandpa's funeral. This is the first time I faced such a situation. Go through the pain due to the sudden passing of my close family member.

May grandpa rest in peace at his "new home"...

Feeling really weird not being able to celebrate CNY as normal for the very first time in my life. Was prohibited from sending wishes, getting ang pows, going for house visits and wearing red attire during the 15 days period. But we are allowed to have small family gatherings.

So, we had a belated reunion lunch at Ocean Village Restaurant in Nilai on the second day of CNY.

CNY 2010

Prefer last year's family portrait when grandpa was still around. Happy Family!

CNY 2009

I spent my third day of CNY with my secondary school friends at Pizza Hut. It's been three years since I last met them. Used to work part time during CNY to earn a triple pay. But this year is exceptional.

FAMILY & FRIENDS first...

*wink wink*

(Guys from left): Tian Seng, Tzu Ming, Chee Leong & Kok Yew
(Girls from left): Me, Ai Li, Siew Mei & Sook Hui

Really miss each and every one of them. My beloved hometown gang. Most of us look so different nowadays. Possibly due to our hairstyle and dressing up. Thought of uploading some old photos here to compare us before and after. But the old photos are in hardcopies and I don't have a scanner. Too bad... Some other time then.

Red Red Everywhere

3 days off last week. The weekends and Federal Day. Weee...

Despite AAA progressive test on Thursday, I still insisted to go for a movie with bro. Not asking for too much. I hadn't been to the cinema since Avatar. Main reason... I was able to persuade my tired-looking bro to accompany me. Haha.

*vroom vroom vroom*

Sped to Pavilion on Monday night. So delighted to see all those CNY decorations were put up. Horray! Quickly collected our tickets for The Spy Next Door and spent the next half an hour taking photos around the mall.

I'll let the photos do the talking...

My grinning face

Bro's matching red polo

Not to be missed "couple"... ROFL!

Movie at 10.30pm and I couldn't wait. I didn't watch the trailer. I didn't read any movie critics. But I juz could sense the humour in the show.


It didn't fail me. Like I said, I was laughing profusely throughout the show. Damn hilarious. Maybe it's not that hilarious. To me, yes... Jackie Chan seems to aged a lot. Noticed all the wrinkles on his face. Still, he did a great job with his role. Couldn't expect more from an amateur like him. Way to go, Jackie!

Did I mention bout my 2 weeks holiday? The first half of the semester ended. So, we are given a middle semester break or whatever it is called. But do you think our lecturers will let us go that easily? Of course NOT! 2 assignments awaiting to be done. Wouldn't be able to enjoy CNY so freely this year. Miserable eh?

That's not the most torturing part. The day when the next half of the semester resumes, I bet many of us will be experiencing a heart attack. ACCA result to be released.

*dup dap dupp dapp duppp dappp*

The list goes on... Progressive tests and internal exam results too. FAINTS!

Drama Addict

I'm currently alone in my room, in a house with no other than my bro and I. The other housemates are either back to hometown or at work.

Boring Sunday.

As I was filtering files to be transferred to my new lappy, I came across the images I saved in one of my folders. Images of Taiwan dramas that I've watched so far. Remember in my previous posts quite some time ago, I mentioned I have been watching old dramas to keep myself entertained during the ACCA exam period?

Well, it has then become a habit to actually continue watching more and more of them. I'm such an addict!

And hey... I used to be a TVB drama fanatic. Coz I have better understanding in Cantonese. But now, language isn't a barrier anymore. I seem to enjoy Taiwan dramas in Mandarin without the need of subtitles. Practice makes perfect eh???

Let me share my past 2 months drama documentary with you guys... o(^.^)o

It Started With A Kiss <惡作劇之吻>

It Started With A Kiss 2 <惡作劇2吻>

Love or Bread <我的億萬麵包>

Honey & Clover <蜂蜜幸運草>

Summer X Summer <熱情仲夏>

Notice the similarity between the dramas above? To those who did, BINGO! To those who didn't, it doesn't matter.

Before this, I was never once bother bout Joe Cheng's dramas. I used to think fan blogs are exaggeratedly complimenting on how handsome and how talented he is. However, It Started With A Kiss changed my perspective totally. His charismatic roles make me look forward to watch even more of his dramas. Can't wait for It Started With A Kiss 3 to be aired. Heard it should be some time this year.

Next on the recommendation list:

Miss No Good <不良笑花>

Wish To See You Again <這裡發現愛>

Woody Sambo <無敵珊寶妹>

Rolling Love <翻滾吧！蛋炒飯>

Bump Off Lover <愛殺17>

My MVP Valentine <MVP 情人>

The legendary 5566. Super famous during my secondary school days. Awesome boy band. Wonderful songs. Too bad they dismissed some years back. Don't you think guys who play basketball look muscular and manly? Awww...

By the way, Taiwan drama soundtracks can be downloaded from AZN Dramas.

Second Time Around

Thaipusam. Public holiday. Yippie!

Everyone's out. How could we stay home and miss the fun? There goes my second round shopping in Sungai Wang Plaza.

On the way

Everyone seems to be doing last minute shopping like us. Holy crap! The parking bay was full. The stores were overly congested. The queue at the fitting rooms was at least 20 feet long. The queue at the cashier counter was of the same length.

No kidding.

I should have taken a photo of the situation. But I was too busy picking on clothes.

Mum and I lingered in the same shop for bout an hour plus. Both of us nearly suffocated from the fierce crowd of "bargain hunters". Luckily I suggested dad and bro to have their high tea in a nearby cafe. Our suffering paid off in the end. Mum bought me a dress and herself a blouse.

All I'm lacked now is a pair of shoes and a new handbag.

Went from shop to shop but ended up in vain. Shoes I spotted were either too tall or out of size. Not being able to wear 3 inches heels and size 6 isn't my fault. Blame my height!

Almost 6pm when we finished going around the mall. Time for dinner. Headed to our favourite Super Noodle House.

*drool*

No photos on food. All I could say is the shrimp wanton noodle and white fungus with longan and honey dew dessert are delicious. The beef brisket noodle is as good too.

My beloved family

Besides clothes, I also brought home a "new toy". Guess what???

Aspire 4740G

Latest model from ACER. Woohoo...

CNY Shopping

Believe it or not, last Saturday was my first round of shopping for the coming Chinese New Year. When most of my friends have stocked up their wardrobe with new clothes, new shoes and new accessories, I'm just in the mist of a head start.

Bro had to work half day. So, I waited for him to pick me up from Times Square before heading to Pudu for lunch with mum and dad. Did some shopping on my own. Bought a set of formal wear at Nichii and a collared T-shirt for bro at Forest.

Bored while waiting for bro to crawl his way out from the jam. I utilised my time shooting CNY decorations.

Auspicious red decorations

After lunch in Pudu, the next stop was Midvalley. Walked from shop to shop - PDI, Padini Authentic, Seed, P&Co, Colours, Voir, Elle, Giordano, Romp, Topshop and even Jusco. I ended up with a foot ache and 4 pieces of T-shirt.

Pathetic!

I'm not being choosy. But the clothes available in the stores ain't my taste. Eww...

Had another photo shooting in Midvalley and The Gardens with bro.

Bro in white, me in purple...

Dinner at Old Town. I ordered the dinner set of Lam Mee, came with soft drink and pudding.

I didn't torture my pudding like how Jia Lun did. Blekz =P

Assignments Once Again

Last semester no assignment, all progressive tests...
Complained too much to be STUDIED!

This semester 4 assignments, only 2 progressive tests...
Complained too much PRESENTATIONS!

Pretty ironic, isn't it?

For the past 3 weeks, 2AFA students have been annoyed to the max by 2 assignments.

Firstly FDM. Should we invest in Dutch Lady? Should we not? Nobody knows.

Secondly ME. Presentation in Malay language. Duh!

Whatever it is, I kinda enjoyed the time doing business analysis and applying critical thinking skills into the project. From presentation wise, I personally think I performed badly. I spoke like a M16, shooting random piece of information to the audience.
I panicked?

YES!!!

Gosh... I wasn't really being myself that day.

Marks given were not revealed by Mr Tan yet. The wait is killing me. Anyway, sad times would not stop us from having photo session. Muahahaha...

Pretty group members. Love you gals >.<

Our previous P1 & current FDM lecturer, Mr Tan Vooi Giap

Sweeter than honey. Haha...

Future business associates!

Whose finger on the top left corner? *cough cough*

There were more photos in Yee San's handphone. But the idiotic snatch thief took all our memories with him. No backup. Grrr...

Last photo of the day

Does the pose look familiar to any of you? LOL...

Countless Attempts

Date: 18 January 2010
Time: 10.07 pm
Venue: Room sweet room

Updating blog at this very moment. 1st post of the brand new year! Woohoo...

Happy Belated New Year to you guys.

As usual, time passed really fast. It's the 3rd week of 2010. This should be my longest period of disappearance, eh? I kinda missed out a lot. No post on New Year celebration, no post on New Year resolutions. Practically, I didn't start the new year quite well. It was a HOME ALONE thingy. So, I don't see the need to blog bout it.

Many things happened these few weeks. 3 major issues.

Put them in a summary, shall we?

Issue #1: Assignments
The urge of meeting deadline is back, ruling the life of all 2AFA students. FDM analysis sucks big time. Totally have no idea of what we are crapping in those PowerPoint slides. Will be presenting this Thursday. Hopefully we can bypass Mr Tan with ease. Most of us are worrying over ME. Presentation will be conducted in Malay. Duh... Been 'N' years since I ever use proper Malay in conversation.

Bahasa pasar boleh lah! XD

Issue #2: Double responsibilities
I'm sick of being an assistant course rep and sub-printing manager at the same time. Thinking of the good old times during diploma, I seldom complain bout my work load no matter how bad things turned out to be. But now, I easily get upset and stressed up. For what reason? I don't know. I juz hate how people send unnecessary sms asking me this and that. I hate how people pushed me so hard to get their printing done. Damn! I can't do magics. Look for David Copperfield if you need one.

*puffed*

Issue #3: FM Resit
Gotta face the music again. TODAY! Despite being reluctant, I went through it wholeheartedly. I feel as if I'm going to puke whenever I see those notes. Still, reality is reality. It was my 2nd last chance to clear it off and I guess I screwed it. I don't wish to blame others but the lecturer has to be partly responsible if I failed again. Such nonsense questions he set for the exam! Bloody hell. He implies too much on practical theory which in my opinion, we are not up to that level. Mind you... It's a Skill module. Even a Professional module student like me think it's difficult, how bout the juniors? Why did I have to get a BIG SURPRISE in every FM paper? Am I not worth to get a pass forever?

*CMAO - Crying My Ass Off*

I seriously need an escapade and I realised I hadn't been to the cinema for ages. Sherlock Holmes is still in my pending list and many many many more!


Don't think I'll be able to accomplish this mission too soon. Progressive tests will be seeking in next week. Oh shit... This month is all bout EXAMS. Lifeless January.

2010 ain't a good year for me, I predict...
