Chapter 278: Homesick

I know. I can't complain because home is just 2 hours away while others are having it worse overseas. And I'd been back last week already, while others have not been back for half a year. I will never know how they feel, but they definitely feel much MUCH worse than I do. So I'm sorry for complaining that I have homesickness, but I DO.

The moment I left the car I could already feel a surge of emotions running through my mind. Dramatic right? But it's true. The feeling got worse when I reached the platform to wait for the bus. Needless to say, by the time I landed my ass on the bus seat, I became damn emo. Lol. Jun Yong asked me why I was emo and I just said that I was sick (partly yeah but mostly because I miss home already). I don't think this feeling will ever end no matter how many times I have to part with Melaka. T_T

I'm not saying that Sunway is bad. Life in Sunway is alright, better than most people I could say. I have to say sorry again to people who are having it worse than me. Some people would be so happy to exchange their lives with me. I know I should be contented. I am. I really am satisfied with my life now, but that doesn't stop me from missing home.

I could forget about missing home when I'm busy. But when the emotions kick in, all I can think of is the need to go home. I notice that I've stopped ranting carelessly on social media, mostly because I feel that I am under so much pressure when I tweet something. What if I tweet something wrong? What if people think I'm stupid? People judge, and I can't stop them from doing so. Don't tell me they don't, because they do, even when they don't reply my tweets. I know, let them judge all they want right? But then ranting publicly also means I'm exposing my weakness to the whole world. (Haha aren't I doing the same now?) The only place I can rant is here, and that's because almost nobody comes here. Even if they do, they're the closest people I know, so I don't mind.

Of course, there is always another option of ranting to your friends, but until what degree? What degree of ranting will they not judge you or make fun of you? You can't rant EVERYTHING to another person and that is a fact. They will either laugh at you for being stupid or tell you that they are having it worse so you should shut the fuck up.

This is why family comes first. Always.

Chapter 290: Being a CAT-ACCA student

Hello. I just wanna get this off my chest for a bit. DISCLAIMER: This is merely my own understanding of the whole programme. Please don't flame me for wrong information lol. WHAT ARE CAT AND ACCA?  CAT stands for Certified Accounting Technician. Yeah, people laugh at the term "technician" but in layman terms it is just another name for Foundation in Accountancy. No idea why they used CAT though; probably because they don't want people to mess it up with Foundation in Arts? Anyways, one thing I dislike is when people ask me what I'm currently doing. When I say CAT, EVERYONE doesn't get it. So I just say "Oh I'm doing accounting." which sounds pretty weak but then it's easier than explaining the whole shit a gazillion times to different people and yet they STILL don't get it. :( ACCA stands for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Alright, so here's the thing. ACCA is a professional body (sort of like a club, really.

Chapter 319: Reflections

It's 12:44am and I have a lot on my mind. I feel like I haven't been able to give my 100% since the beginning of the year. I'm not entirely sure why but I guess it was because it was fast approaching one of my goals in the firm which was to get promoted to Senior Associate and subsequently tendering afterwards. The plan in my head was solid - I start applying in June, just slightly 2 weeks before the official promotion announcement, I get a call from HR after a week or so, an official interview by the managers after 2 days, and in July I was good to go. Plans always deviate, don't they? In June I find myself still in the midst of peak; whoever said that June was the start of off peak is a liar. However I also found myself avoiding to update my resume; I think a part of me still wanted to stay. I believe it was the comfort zone calling - I have good bosses, my portfolio was okay (I am taking over a job meant for an Assistant Manager), I am familiar with everything that

Chapter 320: I've not been well recently

 Not sure how to begin this post. My heart is beating really fast right now and I need to vent my feelings somewhere. I haven't been in a good mental state for a while now. I am suffering. I have been trying my best to see the good in everything and it has been exhausting. I guess I'd been dismissing my negative feelings because I feel like I should be grateful and appreciative for everything I have right now - which I am, don't get me wrong.  I'm having a difficult time relaxing properly recently. Even when I'm just chilling and watching Netflix, a sense of uneasiness just comes creeping on me; and it stays with me. I can't find anything that makes me happy anymore. I just feel so restless and on most days I feel like I've lost my sense of identity.  All the things that once make me happy have lost their ability to do so. I feel like a lifeless robot each day, just surviving and not living. Achievements aren't able to make me feel anything too. In fact
