Chapter 300: Bad week

I can't believe I'm writing this on my 300th post haih.



Hello hello. I started classes on Wednesday. My lecturers this semester are:
F7: Ms Fei Ling
F8: Ms Kiran
F9: Mr Michael
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with these lecturers. I have been under Ms Fei Ling so I'm used to her way. Ms Kiran makes the whole class more vibrant therefore having the feeling of falling asleep in class is rare compared to FAU last year hahahah. She teaches in a way that she makes sure we understand the concepts behind rather than blindly teaching. Mr Michael is hilarious. He hasn't really started teaching us yet but I'm sure he's okay.

Classes and all were great, until Friday came. It was 9:20am when me, JY, Kevin and Jeremy went down to the cafeteria for break. I bought my food and drink and sat down on the table, and because my skirt didn't have pockets, I placed my handphone on the table.

When we left, I forgot about taking my phone (I know, I'm so careless T_T). We went upstairs as per usual, and before I entered the LT, I noticed that I didn't have my phone with me. I ran down in a rush, and within 2-3 minutes, my phone was gone. It was no where to be found. :(

My heart definitely sank...

We asked the cleaners but they said no they haven't seen it. So we went to file a report to the college security. The person in charge said that if there were CCTVs around, my phone recovery rate would be a hundred percent. But there were no cameras around!!!

Haih. We tried calling the phone a million times and it seems that the person was deliberately rejecting the calls. That's like the worst thing to happen because it was clear that someone had taken my phone without the intention of returning it to me. Aiyo...faith in humanity is gone lah.


What breaks my heart the most is that I've wasted my mother's money by losing that phone which I could have used for at least 2 more years. I've only used it for a year and 3 months. It's still in a super good condition.

The first time I lost my phone was in Korea back in December 2012. That, I wasn't sure how I lost it. I thought I'd placed it nicely in my pouch but it wasn't in there. It probably dropped in the snow or something. :(

I should be more careful next time. T_T


On a second note, we had our first ice-breaking session for SAC 2016 and our first meeting of the year. I volunteered to become Assistant Head Of Marketing. Our first assignment was to design our club T-Shirt and finding suitable suppliers.

Ice-breaking wasn't too bad lah. Managed to get along with some already. First event will be in March, which is Charity Drive. Hope all goes well.


Bad day became an overall bad week for me. Sigh.



Next week will be better, I hope.

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
