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 you wonder you know - What if? What if something else had happened? I would say that the bell curve saved me. I didn't have confidence at all in P4. No wonder they said optional papers are tougher than the compulsory papers even though it's only 2 papers.

Also, to follow up with my previous post, I got a job in KPMG, and will be starting in August. :)

I'm going to explain the interview process in another blog post. I hope it's legal. LOL.

See what I mean by being lucky? Some of you might think that these are normal things - nothing much to really celebrate, but they're all part of my milestones which I really appreciate being able to proceed smoothly. Not everyone has it smoothly, this I know.

I still have a month to prepare. To be honest, I don't really like long holidays when I am too free. My mind tends to wander, leading to over thinking, as usual. I would say that I am a huge worrier. I worry at a lot of things, from small to big, and tend to over exaggerate what could or might happen. It's not healthy at all. I get too anxious easily. Maybe that's why I like being busy, because it takes my mind off of things. It feels nice to be a slob for some days, but it gets boring and dull when you have nothing left to do.

Then again, I should appreciate the free time I have right now. I probably won't even have the time to sit down and blog when I start to work.

Life can be confusing sometimes.

Who Diz?

Hi I'm Celine. No I don't expect you to know me - hence this tab. I don't expect myself to update this tab every other year either, so you don't have to ask my age, though you can probably guess my age if you are keen to stalk my whole blog lol. Anyway, I have trouble coming up with my bio as I don't want to sound self-absorbed but haaaaaaaaa in the end this is my blog, I am supposed to sound self-absorbed. I am married with three cats and four dogs. Did I get your attention now? Alright. For real though, I am currently still a student with a non-midlife existential crisis at the moment waiting for my results to be released which will determine a life or death situation aka will I eventually graduate or not? (p.s. ACCA students, I got your back. *gang sign*) I enjoy mocking and irritating people in my free time, but I also love playing tennis. I live for the satisfaction of sarcasm, but I also do enjoy a good cup of coffee to go with it. I sometimes p...

Chapter 315: Year End Review 2017

I know I haven't been diligent in updating this space even though there were times that I wish I did when I had something on my mind. Year end reviews have been something I do on a yearly basis so I don't wanna leave this out for 2017! I'll just merge this together with my life updates in this post. And as usual, I'm gonna use my instagram as a guide wtf I'm that lazy. 1. I Graduated and Became an ACCA Affiliate *Please bear with the super low quality pic I regret not bringing my DSLR okay?? This is something I feel extremely lucky about. Anything could have happened to my last paper. And I was intimidated from the stories I heard about failing ACCA, sometimes more than once. I took the leap of faith and just did it, at the same time giving room to myself for maximum 1 failure attempt. I can't believe I completed it without any failures, something I owe it to my lecturers, family and friends. I know it's not the end, and I have so many more things...

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 ...
