Yada Yada 1: I dyed my hair once again, Burgundy Red by Revlon ! Didn't use the Bubble Hair Colour as it looks messy and the price almost double. Didn't do a good job on my top though, I still see strong black root, perhaps a few wash would make the colour more obvious ..
Yada Yada 2: Wallace looks like a sausage dog day-by-day O_o

Last night, attended social gathering 2010 where our financial course students get to dress up a little and have some fun, proving to other courses we have power in volume of students and we still have a life despite the busy study schedule packed with classes and exams.
Proving much the effort by the committee, this happens to be the best gathering organised (in comparison with the other years, at least for me) Speech was short, crowd was really responsive, CAT students were happening, lovely performances - the dance, singing, band though I felt the musical instrument performance was rather unsuitable for a teenage gathering when the crowd was really ignorant of that performance. Ohhh well ... Best performance goes to the 3 dudes in yellow, red and blue. No photos as I sat literally one of the few last rows way back.
Some main highlights from the event:
Mr.Teo dancing with Prabu. Wooooot, nice ! Mr.Bill and Margaret ended up joining them too. Interesting ...
Audrey sang ! Woooooot ..
Jason performed with the others in a band. That was good ! =D
We drank a lot of water, blame the screaming lol
Was a busy day, had work in the morning - then classes in the afternon - then headed to bazaar for some dinner and back in college for the event. Hate my face - full of crappy pimples all over (well hope it's covered well with the last-minute make-up) =) I feel my head lots abnormally big in the photo. Like the Dora doll, mentioned in my P5 class lol
I was purple from head to toe. Necklace, dress, nails, shoes ! Wooot ..
Photos were quite noob, should had hit the strong flash on the photos, ooooh well ...

Only buy or fill up your car or bike in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground.
The colder the ground the more dense the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return.
If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine.
Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every litre is actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT fill up--most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
It's finally that creepy day,
only thing different was this semester my class has been replaced and I'm off for the day.
I'll never take my results at home again - especially with your parents around to remind you to check your results
I did expect myself to pass? I mean who wants to fail -
but I do admit I study a lot but sometimes studying a lot may not equal to getting through the paper.
Connection was slow, and the page pops out !
P1 Professional Accountant 69% P2 Financial Reporting 62% P3 Business Analysis 50%
Phew~! Thank god for kind-hearted ACCA marker, god bless you =D
Nearly had to attend P3 classes all over again - glad the marker gave me the green lights !
Those who didn't make the cut, really sorry to hear the news ! Pat on your shoulder and say you've done your best and that remains in the past. There's another chance this December and this isn't the end of the world. Learn from your mistakes and improve on your answering techniques! Stop the over- gathering/outings activities, last minute studying or spotting topics.
So since I've passed, I have a useful tip for you if you're taking the 3 papers above, at least that was how I passed the paper.
P1 Professional Accountant requires a lot of key terms which I believe you don't use them in our daily speaking. Unfettered power, reciprocity for example. Understand also the question requirements. Roles and benefits answers would rather be the same. Have good time management to try attempting all the questions in the exam paper. Keep your sentences straight to the point as 1 sentence carries only 1 mark or sometimes half ! You need to write a substantial amount to even pass, remember that !
P2 Financial Reportingthe mother of all P level papers I must say ! One thing you better follow if you wanna even think of passing this paper ! start early, don't even bother going to the exam hall if you're only planning to start a month before. Also don't skip your Progress Test or Mock , they provide good time frame constraint for you to practice, in total honest. Aside that, have a good grip on key topics like IAS 16, 32, 39, 12, 19 18, 36, 27 and IFRS 3 and 5. Don't bother going it without those topics ! Also avoid spotting current issues, study all ! If you know how to answer the current issue that could help drastically.
P3 Business Analysis Notice throughout the syllables, you have 101 matrix to the point you forgot what's the content of axis in the matrix. To me, revising the thing again was vital throughout the semester. just flip, flip, flip. recall it back ya ! Then also attempt the PYQ, as in good time management, fast writing skills and also linking the knowledge to the content of the questions.
GOOD LUCK TO YOUR REMAINING PAPERS !
