Chapter 314: This piece of shit

I have not posted something so raw in my blog before, but here goes nothing. We met on the court, started off as friends, tennis mates, nothing more. It's funny because prior to that, we always missed meeting each other. When I was there, he wasn't, vice versa. A few months later, we started talking to each other more, and the rest, as they say, is history. Side story though - I actually rejected him once because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a relationship, but he persisted on. I'm glad he did. He is the kind of guy who is witty without even trying, always making me burst out in laughter without fail. He is generous and helpful to everyone, even to strangers. But it's a different story after knowing him HAHAHA no la joking. I'm glad that we have the same interests, and the same kind of humor. We have an imperfect relationship, but he never once raised his voice at me. He taught me that love isn't merely spoken words, it's the actions that make

Chapter 313: First month of work

Helloooo, I've been waiting for the 14th to come so that I can blog something HAHAHA Time flies. I've already been in KPMG for a month now. And from Day 1 until now, I've definitely learned a lot of things. Here's a few, including life in general, not in sequence. 1. Being blur in the beginning is perfectly normal. I panicked a lot in the beginning because I just wasn't sure. Like when they asked me go down to ITS to pass/get stuff, I got lost so I had to ask around. Now the ITS is like my second home HAHAHAHAHA ok just kidding. And I also learned how to print letters, despatch items, bind documents, scan and photostat documents etc. These are pretty simple tasks but it's the foundation of everything we're going to do. I feel very accomplished when I manage to do something, at least, to contribute to the firm LMAO. 2. Almost everyone is good in presentations.  I realized this during our trainings. We were asked to write down our opinions and present

Chapter 312: KPMG Interview

Hey hey. Just to jot down something before I head to Penang tomorrow for a short trip. So, KPMG interview. I admit, I'm rather a kiasu person. Even before finals - okay, a month before finals, I already submitted my application forms for a job in the Big 4. No, I didn't apply for all of them, only 3. One company was fast in rejecting me, as I'd mentioned. The other didn't even bother replying my follow-up emails. KPMG didn't respond until I sent them a follow-up email right after I finished my finals. I was glad to have received a link to complete an online assessment a few days after. It consists of 3 parts - however, only 2 parts are actual tests - Verbal and Numerical, the other is just a test of your Work Behaviour. The Verbal and Numerical tests are exactly the same as the ones I did for Maybank Scholarship , so it was okay for me. I received another email a few days after to notify me that I'd passed the tests. And then, the HR in charge, Ms Dharsh

Chapter 311: Milestones

Life has been treating me well lately. What can I say other than being grateful? I am now officially an ACCA affiliate!  I have been waiting for this moment since I started to decide that I would walk this path. It's been 3 years (and a few months) since the day I walked into the class for the first time. It's a good feeling to know that the effort you've put in haven't gone to waste. But then again, I've been pretty lucky - lucky to have dedicated lecturers who are more than willing to help out whenever they can, lucky to have smart ass friends to go to when I have questions to ask, lucky to have family who support me 100%, lucky to have someone by my side who gets me food when I get hungry while I'm studying hahaha. Jokes aside, when I say I'm lucky, I really am. Because... I got 50 for P4 and 53 for P6 LOL. It's still a pass of course, but imagine the possibilities??? I could have easily gotten a fail with that kind of marks. It really makes

Chapter 310: Transition period

After days of procrastination, I guess I finally got my lazy ass to start writing again. I'm aware that most of my writing doesn't really make sense and my thoughts are mostly all over the place but thanks for reading anyway. Time really flies. 3 years. And here I am, back to square one - the transition period. Since last year I've been worried and anxious about what could, and would happen after I graduate. What will I do? Where will I be? What do I like? Then I thought thoroughly, maybe those were not what I was concerned about. Maybe it's the particular transitioning that tickles my nerves. Just thinking about it makes my hair stand. Transitioning is always scary, but nevertheless exciting. Maybe it's like a way to turn over a new leaf? To start over ? I'm not sure. Just like how we were afraid after finishing primary and secondary school. The feeling is similar, however this time I won't be in the vicinity of a safe space called school anymore. I&#

Chapter 309: Adaptability

Hi guys! So far 2017 has been great, despite struggling with keeping up with my studies HAHAHA fml. I've been to a lot of places and eaten a lot of food, what more can I ask for? Hehehe. However the weather has been cranky recently so I haven't really got the chance to play tennis as I wish. This topic just came to me this morning and I thought that I should address it. Honestly I've never really realized my own adaptability until my brother mentioned it to me. Adaptability, according to Dictionary.com, is " able to adjust oneself readily to different conditions" . For me, adaptability means being able to accept change, and facing that change with a newfound perspective . It means being able to make something unfamiliar into something habitual.  I, for one, dislike changes. I hate last minute changes, especially when it's about food HAHAHA. It's the expectations and anticipations building up that makes me furious when someone changes plans. But I'

Chapter 308: Officially in Last Semester

Alohaaaaaaaaaaa. I am proud to say that I passed all my 3 papers last semester ehehehehe. P1 - 56 P2 - 61 P3 - 64 Hahahahahah at the Professional level, I am super proud of my results please. It may not be the best results lah but at least I still have 6x right LOLOL. As per usual, the subject that I'm most confident with always ends up being the lowest during finals. Don't ask me why lmao, it happened for my F5 and F8 too. It's ok lo, at least I didn't fail for my weaker papers. I was particularly concerned about P2 hahahahaha. You know why? Because I have never passed my internal papers before, ranging between 20+ to 30+ HAHAHAHA. P3 I felt was okay because at least I failed with 4x, reaching 50. P1 was my favourite paper because for all my internals, I studied a day before the exam and still manage to score 6x-7x lmao. But I guess I overestimated myself for finals. It's okay at least I passed! I feel that I'm super lucky lo to pass in my first attempt
