To choose or not to choose?

Receive a call from Sunway College few days back, well actually I received 2 calls but the first time I was in cinema and the second time I was driving so I didnt pick up - and I ignored, or to say I totally forgot about it later on, thinking it might be some wrong phone calls.


When Ding asked me whether I received any calls from Sunway College only I got to know who's the one calling me twice and what they called me for, i.e. to ask me whether I will be able to make it for a talk by BDO Binder and Deloitte regarding ICAEW.


Called them on the next day and got the details of the talk, including the requirement to dress formally on the day itself and prepare our resume for both of the firms. At that point of time the information I get regarding ICAEW is pathetically little, since I wasn't paying much attention when Mr.Jay mentioned that earlier in our class, thinking that it would be irrelevant to me. ( Yeah so this type of attitude is killing me ) Anyway, I have never been for any interviews before and never in my life ( so far ) prepare a resume / CV. Owh well, this means that I have to learn how to write a resume then :P


Preparing a resume is a tedious and a you-wont-feel-like-doing-it-again-work for me ==" Took me whole Sunday to get it done, and I didnt prepare myself for any interviews in advance though I have asked my cousin's opinions and suggestions.


Discussed the pros and cons of studying ICAEW with my parents and my cousin even before I get further information about the course. My cousin asked her ex-boss, who is a council of MIA before, and he said that ICAEW is much well-recognised as there's only a few on them have such qualification compared to ACCA and this will certainly boost my career. And from what I got to know so far, Mr.Jay mentioned similar points as well, whereas some said ICAEW will only be helpful at the starting of our career, the most important thing is our performance at work in future *dilemma*


Went to the briefing today and it sort of changed my mind ( I have not that much of intentions to choose ICAEW before this ) Anyway gotta get more info about the training contract / employment, of which I think it's the agenda BUT that's the thing that they placed less emphasize / didnt mention it at all. Yea I know ICAEW is much better than ACCA as it consists of training and practical experiences, which would an advantage for those who choose that, so what I'm concern is about their contracts.


The pros and cons of ICAEW :

Pros :

- Being able to get better understanding of the subject studied ( especially audit !! =X )
- Can get salary xD ( I'm earning $ , I'm earning $ ! )
- Get to learn more ( in aspect of working environment, social life etc )
- Hmm it's not considered as advantages but they did provide study leave, which is better than none, right?
- It's kinda win-win situation for me actually, 'cause you cant expect people to provide you with RM30,000-40,000 worth financial support for your course fees + salaries for your working without requesting any repayment from you ryte?
- The training contract is for 5 years, which is the same with ACCA ( 2 years of full-time study plus 3 years of working experience )


Cons :

- No life. =="
- I may get lazy and that would be a very bad thing for me
- I have to sacrifice my lovely weekends! *sniff sniff*
- Can I even pass my T8 now?????? *sighs*


Actually everything is just nice, the only thing I'm worrying about is the working part. *sighs* Why working is a MUST ler ?


Undecided.Dilemma...


p.s. People, please give me your suggestions / opinions on which path I shall choose~ =) Thank you so much!

So me who don't really know the storyline of The Hulk before this ( hmm I think I had watched it before but it's like so long ago and I couldnt recall any single thing ) watched it with loads of question marks popping in my mind.

-17th June 2008-



Went Genting with Emiko, Steff, Cath, Manoj, Nikesh, Harish, Vikrum ( Sorry I dunno how to spell his name), Victor, Stefanie, Ong and Joseph. 12 of us in total~! ;)


Reached KL Sentral at around 7.30am, had my breakfast there and met with Joseph at McD. After that they came one by one, and we managed to get the bus tickets at 11am. And luckily, there's 13 seats left, which is just nice! Victor's dad followed along because he had to verify the booking that he made. So 13 seats is just nice for 13 of us ;D


While waiting for the bus, we were chatting and reading magazines at the bookstore nearby.

3 girls in the KL Sentral washroom ;P

*I know I know...we looked ghostly pale =X *

Right after the spinner, when 12 of us were still together...

(just a vague recollection of what happened, not 100% exact)

Me : I feel so dizzy =(

Cath : Yingying you want some sweets anot? It's better if you take some sugar..

Me : It's okay, nvm..

Cath : You sure you don't want?

Me : *nods* it's okay...

Few minutes later, when people all went off for different rides ( some of them went for corkscrew, some of them went for the fun kart )...

The Guys.

Can you find Nikesh?

*tips : Look around Manoj ;P

Many funny things happened on that day :P Firstly, me, emiko and steff planned to return Joseph's jacket which he left in our room. After emiko pressed the door bell, three of us just have the sudden urge to hide and off we ran to hide ourselves at the turning. When we heard them opened the door, we ran further, emiko and steff hiding behind the door, while me hiding at another turning. I joined steff after that, and the clumsy me pushed the door accidentally and it closed with a loud bang. Well they definitely knew where we were and off we ran all the way along the corridor, with me pulling emiko and steff running behind us, holding a cup of maggi mee xD hahaha~! My goodness, I cant stop laughing whenever I think of that!

Btw, the corridor is seriously scary, with no one there! As me and emiko running along the corridor, we have the same feeling of : Something is not right. And I just said " Let's go back" and we just turned around and ran all the way back towards the guys room. And, owh well, steff running with her cup of maggi mee in her hands again xP

We were laughing non-stop when we finally met Ong and Nikesh, who came out and find for us. Then off we went into their room, while Harish and Vikrum were still outside finding for us xD hahaha~! Lol~

After awhile we were exhausted and we girls went back to our own room to sleep. (Nikesh sharing the same room with us, and he having one of the room cards) We've forgotten that he's still at the guys room and we locked the door from inside. All of a sudden we heard someone trying to open the door, followed with a loud bang! The three of us were scared and we were screaming while jumping onto the bed hugging together. Gosh!! Finally we discovered that it's actually Nikesh who opened the door but he couldnt open the door fully cuz it's was locked from inside. Phewww!! Poor Nikesh xD

Right after emiko let Nikesh into the room, she opened another door ( the door for joint rooms) and asked steff to see whether got people there anot. Well, we screamed again ==" I know it's super funny if we look back now, BUT can you imagine when you actually see..... owh well, I dun wanna continue =X



-18th June 2008-

We went Snow World on the next day and it's quite fun! But the time given is so short =( And guess wht, we were given free ice-creams in the snow world~! Yummylicious~* ;)

As a result of taking out my gloves to hold the ice-cream, my fingers went very painful after that ><" And and...my toes too! Even they're wrapped with socks and boots.

Anyway, we met Michelle and Yong Mei there at Genting! Such a coincidence ;)

Bye bye Genting =(







Joseph claimed that he looked handsome in this picture xD


Owh yea, thanks for the belated birthday present ;)







Exhausted. Tired. Lack of sleep *yawns*


Overall it's a GREAT trip :) *loves*
