We're on a mid term break right now, just only after 3 weeks of lesson. Yeah I do wrote earlier that when I enrolled into the program it was already in week 3. Anyways, now's the time to fully consider what I am going to do, like for once and for all. Last Saturday we went to the Jom Masuk U Carnival organized by MOHE at Pisa. I thought with me going there, I was able to loosen this mess inside my mind, but then it made me confuse even more. ACCA entered the frame, which is something that I havent consider before.

I asked around about this course, and a few colleges do offer this program. Well lets talk about the pro's first. Unlike the regular accounting degree, ACCA syllabus is directly related to the industrial accounting; which means they emphasize more on practicality rather than theory. In other words, it prepares you to face the accounting industry head on. The best thing is, they divided the lessons into subtopics, which make it less complicated (though that doesnt mean it's less difficult). Here are the subjects that have to be taken to complete ACCA:

FUNDAMENTALS (nine papers in total)
Knowlegde
F1 Accountant in Business	(AB)
F2 Management Accounting	(MA)
F3 Financial Accounting	(FA)

Skills
F4 Corporate and Business Law	(CL)
F5 Performance Management	(PM)
F6 Taxation	(TX)
F7 Financial Reporting	(FR)
F8 Audit and Assurance	(AA)
F9 Financial Management	(FM)

PROFESSIONAL (five papers in total)
Essentials
P1 Professional Accountant	(PA)
P2 Corporate Reporting	(CG)
P3 Business Analysis	(BA)

Options (two to be completed)
P4 Advanced Financial Management	(AFM)
P5 Advanced Performance management	(APM)
P6 Advanced Taxation	(ATX)
P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance	(AAA)

See, if you looked at the subjects above, you'd know that what basically ACCA is all about. The industry. All in all 16 papers have to be completed in order finish it all and you'll be on your way to be a certified accountant. And if you managed to complete all papers in the Fundamental level (complete 9 papers), you are entitled to pursue a degree in Applied Accounting (Bsc, if Im not mistaken) and finished it in 6 months time. And if you managed to finish all 16 papers, you're eligible to straight away pursue your MBA. ACCA level is considered slightly above a degree, and slightly below a masters. All in all, if you wanted to finish fast and wanted to carry an extra burden every semester, you can finish your ACCA in just two and a half years.

Now lets look at the cons. The downside of it is, most financial assistance bodies does not assist students who are pursuing a professional certificate. Even PTPTN does not covers ACCA. My best shot would be trying to apply for the Star Education Fund. Even if I managed to get it, it will only covers my tuition fees. Tu baru fees untuk ACCA, belum fees untuk degree in Applied Accounting and fees to apply to be a member of MIA (Malaysian Institute of Accounting). If you want to be a certified accounting and if you wanted to practise accountancy you have to get that shiny MIA member cards.

There are others pros and cons, but other than these two, it's nothing major. The girlfriend is working at Deloitte and she has given me a clearer picture of what it is like to be working in the Big Four. Google big four yourself, Im too lazy to explain further haha . So far so good, but then Deloitte hasnt been in their peak period yet. A friend of mine who have been working at PwC, (also a big four) told me during peak period, she'd had to worked till late, and only be able to have a five hours sleep (excluding makan, jumpa client, pi balik kerja etc). Usually in big four you'd see that a LOT of staff carefully planning out their resignation just before the peak period (because you cant quit during peak period) lol. Haha cant wait to see my fragile bushuk coop with peak period :-P laters

What the Hell

at last. after 4 years. :-)

music video premiere today..check them out some time later.

Nearly there..

Adam is back home for a couple of days, but he wont be long though as he resumes training this Monday. His team is prepping for the U-19 ACC tournament in Bangkok next week. Should they win the tourney ,they'll go to the world cup. Hope they emerge victorious there. I am somewhat in a dilemma right now. The post that I posted earlier was a copy paste of PM's that I have been sending to friends and lecturers for 'consultations'. It is indeed a question of what I want and what I want to become, and only I can answer that. But it is very hard to decide on one.

Maybe I am too terrified to make a decision because of worrying that I might regret the choice that I've made in the future. Plus, my past downfall really makes me want to tread on this lightly. Too many 'what if' comes across my mind. What if my plans backfired? What if I screwed up? I guess that's why I've been going around asking people to decide for me, because it's easier that way. No pressure, no 'what if'. But I know, sooner or later I got to be man enough to decide and be responsible for any consenquences. I am that much of a wuss and I bet visitors who have been here long enough realized how 'damaged' I am. tehee.

And speaking of visitors, this blog received an unexpected visits from an unexpected someone recently. :-) She had been doing a fair amount of stalking (derivative and research skill according to her lol), and we managed to catch up stories with each other. She was unable to help me much with my problem, but she did opened another perspective, a new dimension for me to see things. Thanks. And yes as of today Im an official Justin Beiber fan boy. Tehee. My oh my the friends are ripping me apart @fb, but who cares, JB rwks. tehee. Hope that I can make it to the concert this April. Baby baby baby ohh~

And Chikaro FC of MMU will held a reunion match this February. But bloody hell I cant make it. Buat kat RRI kota damansara. pffttt.. tak jauh pulakk. Hope something came up and I'll manage to attend. Among players that are attending is Pa, Faruk, Ijoy, Zul and Zaffrill. Chikaro and I had somewhat a history. But it's not much compared to the history I had with the all time great, Sir Badiuzaman of Kurik Kuntil; the team manager. I learnt a great deal of things from him before I succeeded his position as the MMU Football Club President. We achieved great things together and we promotes football to a higher level. I so wish that I can turn back time right now..

ok cun

A little help

lets start with the analogy,

patutkah saya selamba sahaja naik bas sekarang atau tunggu bas yang seterusnya? Bas sekarang memang mencabar perjalanannya, tetapi bas yang selepas ini tidak tahu pula bila akan tiba, itupun kalau memang tiba. Walaupun kalau hendak dilihatkan mungkin sekarang bas tidak akan tiba langsung pun, sebab bas mungkin telah berubah haluan.

ah yes, i was refering to my academic path. ICT did a whole lot of good providing me a channel to continue my degree right away after my diploma. Besides a few drawbacks; such as we have to catch up a lot of chapters and lessons, i think it's still quite a good deal. Walaupun ada subjek yang mid term examnya minggu depan, but I think I'll manage.

But the thing is, I dont really felt like studying management anymore. I wanted to specialize and narrow down my path by taking any professional courses, such as accounting, science actuarist. etc. But you know how fierce the competition for this courses are right? I might not get a place at all and I wont settle with my fourth choice management course, because lebih baik i buat kat ICT kalau dpt management kt ipt lain.

But if I still continue my degree in ICT i can still realized my dreams of becoming professional too; by being an academician which is also a career that I think suits me the most; provided that I further a second degree and a phd. Plus having spent three years in ICT really got to me. The lecturers, the environment, the time saved (in deed 6 months to me is already considered a lot given my aging age) the monthly luxury given by MARA, etc makes studying in ICT a good choice too.

I have weighted down everything. the pros and cons,the time taken to finish studies, financial assistance. Everything. But Im still stuck here. I boleh ja study for one semester kat ICT and move out if I got an offer elsewhere, but its going to cost the family much. One semester fees is like 5k, 6k camtu. And if i apply mara during my first sem kat ict, im worried that it will hinder me from getting any scholarships elsewhere, should Im eligible and qualified.

It's like the Malay proverb. I taknak yang dikejar tak dapat yang dikendong berciciran. hehehe.

It's going to be a crucial week for me. I really need to make up my mind asap because right now I havent commited much in my studies. Buku pun tak beli lagi, mara pun tak apply lagi, study pun tak catch up betul2 lagi. If I were to leave, I better do it by this week, because if I leave later than that, I kena bayar fees dah. :-/

So what do you think?

a) which bus should I take?

b) what courses do you think suits me well?

c) what path of careers suits me well?

Haih.

Sorry I havent had the time to update much. It has been a busy week for me. Bila-bila masa pun busy alasan ja lebey. haha. A lot is going on right now it's driving me nuts. Haih. It all began last Monday where I registered my degree courses kat college. Banyak nak kena buat. Nak kena photocopy documents la, isi borang apa bagai. Haih. It went okayyy until I found out that we're a litte bit late since USM is already in week 3. So banyak chapters nak kena catch up. For instance kelas Makro dah masuk chapter 5 dah pun. Haih.

I can tell you that most of the time during the week was spent on filling in forms and applications, manual or online. Isi borang transfer credit, isi borang wang pendahuluan mara, isi borang pinjaman mara, isi borang pengurangan loan, apply UPU, apply USM, borang itu borang ini. Tu baru isi. Each application requires lots of documents yang perlu disahkan. Tak boleh blah betul. Pastu nak kena antar plak kat setiap uni yang aku apply. Contoh macam USM kalau aku apply 3 program, aku kena sedia 3 sets of documents. Thats like a bazillion of paper wasted there. Grrrr..

Haih..I've gotto run now. Nak cari penjamin untuk pinjaman mara apa bagai. Nak jadi penjamin aku? tehee. selamait

RED

Jom serbu jom

Too much time..

As I mentioned in the previous post, I am still jobless..and hopeless. I have so much time in my hands I did quite a lot of things just to kill time off. I played lots of futsal, improvising my solo, spent the time with the lads and girlfriend, attending job interviews just for fun (albeit I was offered some of the jobs, but I declined; also for the heck of it) and many more. Apart from that I have been doing the regular facebooking, youtubing, bloghopping etc. And then I stumbled upon this.

So adorable, right? Tehee. I didnt read the article but I think these cubs are definitely siblings. Which reminds me of that movie The Lion King that I watched when I was little. Man, that story rocks. I like their African jungle scenery. The way they portrayed the rainforest was one of the best after Avatar and Tarzan. The story really got me swayed. I cried when Musafa died. *Sobs*. Sheessh, enough about lions. ZZzz. But wait, I wonder...did animals....like the baby tiger siblings.....when they grow up....did they.... did they....did they hump each other? I mean like the Lion King story, if one of the cubs were lost or separated from the pride, and after a few years as they grow old and trying to find a mating partner, is it possible that they might do it with their siblings?

Cause that would be like....gross erghkk. Haha. Azmil, you're one sick man. Wondering sick things, you better get a life. (>.<) Ni lah akibatnya bila ang dok rumah tak buat apa. Your braincells are dead. Pfftt. Okay enough babbling. Now on a more serious note, UPU online application is open for business tomorrow. But you guys got to buy the pin number or something from BSN. USM application can be done starting tomorrow too. (with the whole Apex thingy they conduct their own admission process). So good luck guys in your application naa. Ouh and also, to avoid me from answering the same question over and over again; yes aku sambung blaja dekat ICT. Why? later la in the next post. Nak pi Google 'do tiger sibling hump each other'. Zzzzz

P/s:- baru aku pasan i did a terrible mixed up. how can i associate tiger with lion? wth. zzzzzz

Another ranting post

This is another ranting post. It seems like I complain a lot lately, but I complain of people's complaining. Ish boleh ka camtu? tehee. But please note that Im not directing this to anybody, only just to serve me as a reminder. So if you're easily butthurt dont go on reading this. Ambik vaseline, sapu and janganlah engkau online selama beberapa tahun. Whining is not going to get you anywhere. If you have the time to whine and complain about something, then you have the time to do something about it.

I dont get it why should we be pissed at our friends who got better jobs than us? Why should we be jealous at friends who earn more money than us? Yes we do have the rights to envy them, but that's that. Nothing more. Yes I know, you used to kick ass in college. You pwn every exams, while your friends struggled to even keep up with you. You're superior than your friends in co-curriculum too. You hold high positions in the societies and your friends are just mere subordinates.

But if you expect that you'd be still kicking ass once you're out to face the world, you're dead wrong brother. Do not expect to have better jobs and better life than those people you used to pwn. Masing-masing ada rezeki sendiri. So dont poke your nose in the Almighty business. And it doesnt matter if they have a big fat cables who hooked them up with the job. They know people, they have relatives, but it still dont change the fact that masing-masing ada rezeki masing-masing. What you want to talk about justice, unfairness? Ok lets talk about it.

When USM rescinded their two-years-transfer-credits programs from ICT, do you see me complain? When the government push the IPT's academic calendar intake to September starting this year, do you see me complaining? Padahal you'd knew that out of all people, I am desperate and cant afford to waste any more time. I believe that everything happened for a reason. No matter how careful and how perfect your plan is, there is always that higher power who gets to decide things for us. So just be happy with your friends, pray for their success and they'd do the same. Even if they dont, Allah Maha adil.

Stop whining and move on already, [insert name here]!

It's funny when you whine over your loss. The success is yours to lose and when you blew it, you blame it on others instead of yourself. Yes, complain all you want, we're still happy.

You can say what you want, we're still gonna enjoy this moment. Saying and writing as you please, as if you're betrayed and cheated; telling all the world as if I'm we're the bad guys.

Kami sentiasa offer friendship, tapi ampa takmau. Dok wat rancak. Fine, as long as you're happy.

P.s: Aku cakap pasal Indonesia ok.. ;-)
