Happy 23rd birthday to myself yesterday@7/11/2008

It was my 23rd birthday yesterday spending my night at office. Luckily, one of my good friends, Jason came from Sungai Long to find me yumcha for a while. On thursday afternoon, my colleagues including Xiao Pei, Michelle, Pik Fun and Mei Yee treated me at Pizza Hut, Maju Junction. Thanks you all. Also thanks to Christine and Shue ting for you fruits.

At night, I left early from work to give a surprise birthday celebration to Vui Chien, one of my xiaxiang members and good friends. The biggest surprise was that her mother fly from Sabah, her hometown to celebrate with her. So nice. At midnight, my xiaxiang members gave me and kai sin a small birthday celebration at mamak. Thanks u all. Also thanks chui fang and ah hing for fetching me back home. Hope to see you all in future gathering maybe on 30 Novemeber for the waterfall outing at Ulu Langat.



Yesterday lunch time, I ate with my audit team including Kar Yee, Wan Ching, Marcus and Fook weng at Fruity, Maju Junction. Thanks you all for treating me this lunch.

Anyway, yesterday was also my last day before I am on long study leave until 10 December. It's time to really fully concentrate on my preparation and revision for ACCA exam. Despite that, I will also join our free company trip to Port Dickson next weekend to relax myself during this intensive preparation.

Later I will be going with my housemates Bin Lie and Fook Weng to Yu Zu, a nice Japanese restaurant at The Gardens. We will meet my ex-roommate Yong Joo and Kean Yap. I never try the food in this restaurant and I hope that it is as good as what I expected!!!

Happy birthday to myself and to a number of my friends whose birthday are on November.

Day 3 and Last Day of Phuket trip

Day 3:

We started our day 3 by joining a half day phuket tour visiting areas including the temple, the cashewnut and jewellery/ruby/pearl factories, nice beaches, etc. We reached back our hotel around 12.30pm. Afrer have a short rest, we went to Patong beach to have a swim, to sun burn and relax. At night, we waited for the van to fetch us to Fantasea, one of the highlights of our trip. We went for the RM80 buffet dinner. The food there is quite nice but that too many choices made me cant try every food available. Another important event there is the show but we opted not to see the show but touring around the Fantasea areas to take photos, the small zoo to see the white tigers and so on.

Day 4:

This was the last day of our trip. I woke up earlier to have my last morning walk along the streets and the beach and of course I did took some nice photos. We went for a breaksfast at food court and shopped at the Juncelyon shopping complex. We did facial message which cost around RM59. All my black heads were gone!!! This was the first time I did facial massage. AFter that, we continued to do some shopping before we departed to airport around 7pm. We were informed that our flight was delayed earlier last week to night instead of afternoon.

One of the things i regretted is that I did not take my chance to do thai massage which all my friends said it was nice and relax after that.

Phuket trip Day 2

For the 2nd day, we went to Phi Phi Island by ferry which took us two hours to reach there but passing by nice view of cave and so on. Before we had our lunch buffet at Phi Phi Island hotel, we went for an hour snorkelling. After lunch, we just tour around the island.

We reached our phuket hotel around 5pm and we went to the beach at Patong for a swim. At night, just like previous night, we just went shopping around the Patong streets...

Phuket Trip Day 1 (19 Oct)

I went to Phuket with Yong Joo and Fook Weng last Sunday until Wednesday, a 4 days 3 night trip. It was my first trip to Thailand and overall, it was quite an enjoyable and relax trip after working under stress condition and busy working life.

First day, we took a meter taxi from Phuket Airport to our budget hotel at Bangla Road, Patong and it took around 1 hour which was just like the distance to KLIA. After taking a short rest, we went to have a short walk at Patong Beach. At night, after having dinner at a food court at Juncelyon shopping complex, we went to experience the night life at Patong where there are a number of bars and clubs and a lot of tourists there. That's end my first day at Phuket.

Preparation for ACCA Exam

I just finish the last class for P1 at Sunway yesterday. Today is Deepavali as well as public holiday. I want to take this opportunty to wish all our Indian friends a Happy Deepavali. I still hope that all races in Malaysia can live peacefully in this lovely country, Malaysia!!!

Although today is a public holiday, but I just have to stay at home to study and revise for the P1 mock exam this thursday night. In addition, I was not able to join one of the three trips available this weekend. One is Kuantan trip with my BDO colleagues, another one is Genting trip with my ex-UTAR classmates who came back from Singapore for holiday, and Melaka trip with my some of xiaxiang friends. Anyway, for now I have to concentrate fully in the preparation for the coming ACCA exam which will be held on 8 December for P1 and 10 December for P3.

My study leave will only start from 8 November. Before that, I have to fully utilized my night time after work to revise for the study. I really hope that I will be able to pass both papers in first attempt.

For ACCA exam, I think that we should practice a lot of questions and know what the questions are actually asking. Command of English is also essential to pass the paper. Write the necessary and relevant points and manage the time properly (1.8 minute per mark).

For all my friends who are taking exam this December, all the best in the preparation for ACCA exam. The future career is on our hand with the benefits of completing ACCA exam.

Busy next week...

As the dateline is approaching, I have been busy this week and I am going to be superbly busy next week before I go to Phuket for vacation end of next weeks with my friends. (Hope Thailand situation is improving and better now so I will be able to enjoy my holiday there!!!)

Hence, I will need to complete my work by next week. I also need to start to prepare for my ACCA exam which will be held end of this month. Anyway, I have to try to manage my time well and effetively for both work and study!!!

My roommate, Eddie has resigned and today was his last day in BDO and he will also move back to Klang. Anywa, I just want to wish him best of luck and all the best in your new career, Hope you will enjoy ur next job ya. Take care, my best friend!!! Must come back often to find us yumcha...

A short break..

It is time to take a short break during this raya holiday, I took leave this Friday to back Langkap, Perak to visit my foster family and it is also xiaxiang 2nd anniversary and gathering at Langkap. Although the number of members who will back is just half of our total members, I am happy and glad for those who take their effort and time to attend our gathering. See you guys soon this Friday.

Yesterday night, I went to friend house for bbq with my colleagues until midnight. Today, I slept alot other than watching drama and did some of my unfinished works. Tomorrow, I plan to meet my utar friends and went for some shopping before gathering with my other xiaxiang friends at Sungai Long.

ACCA exam is coming near, around two months later. It is time to concentrate fully on my study other than my work. My study leave will start early November for my preparation. I just hope that I will be able to pass successfully. All the best to all my friends for your exam preparation. You all can do it.

Anyway, selamat hari raya to all Malays in Malaysia and Brunei. Brunei will be celebrating hari raya today instead of yesterday when Malaysia was already celebrating this festival.
