Chapter 255: Progress Test 1

Today I just finished my Progress Test 1, aka PT1. Okay, honestly speaking, I had extremely high hopes and expectations for FA1. Why? Because I've learnt it during SPM days. Haha I was SO wrong about it. Actually I had minimal problems doing the paper. I still don't know what went wrong though. The marks totally caught me off guard. Was I too confident of myself? Did I think too highly of my capabilities? Did I have too high expectations for myself? I really don't know. All I know is that I scored way too low than what I expected. 82. It's not good and it's not bad. I would say it's at the borderline. The problem is, I DO have accounting background and this is not what I intended to score. What's worse is that there are 3 freaking people who scored full marks! *envious* It made me feel even worse actually. Yes I know that I shouldn't compete with other people and I should compete with myself instead. I wanted a 90 okay. If I scored a 90 I wouldn't mind if other people scored 100. Sorry if this feels like a ranting post because it is lololol.

For MA1. Ha. ha. ha. I'd prefer not to post my result here because it's insanely embarrassing. I didn't know what to expect of MA1 though. But yeah, still lower than my expectations. Sigh. I really gotta fix MA1. Yeah I know that this is just the beginning of CAT and all. But yeah, foundation is important. If I can't do well in introductory papers, how do you expect me to do well in ACCA? I hope by the time I reread this blogpost, I would be doing great already. Okay, maybe not great, but hopefully stable? Lolol. To reach my high expectations I would have to work real hard. Let's have a rule for myself. I have to turn off my phone when I study. It's going to be super tough I know, but this is a start. I need to discipline myself.

Talk is cheap. Actions must be taken to have results. I know I can do better. I think I'll start borrowing other textbooks from library and do the exercises inside. I always believe that exercises play an important role in achieving good results. It was me being too lazy to go to the library that caused me to let loose of the idea. Now that I know my mistake, I will work towards my goal. PT2 is in 3 weeks time! Goals for FA1-90 and above. MA1-80 and above. Please, give me all the faith and confidence that I need.

Sigh okay. Enough talk about exams hahaha.

Sorry, I actually forgot what I initially wanted to type. LOL. I don't want to type something that's not on my mind currently. Or else it might look so forced. So yeah. That's all for now. I need to brush up on my English though. It's deteriorating I can sense it!!!



Ok bye. Have a good weekend guys.

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 ...
