Yup, I had over-budgeted this week. Firstly, I spent RM95 for reformatting my laptop which caused my system to corrupt and installing an anti-virus on Monday. I was so stupid that I didn't go to ASUS service centre which was located in front of the Plaza Imbi. If I went there for service, I might not need to spend such a high price.
Yesterday, I went to night market which was called 'pasar malam' locally at 康乐. This was the longest pasar malam in Kuala Lumpur. Certainly, there were lots of pretty girls but most of them were 中女、剩女. I bought a pair of shoes there which cost me another RM55 because the shoes that I'm currently wearing have broken. I sweated all the way as there was too crowded! It made me feeling that I was just having a sauna.
Today, I had just replaced my motorcycle's engine oil which cost me further RM17. Oh my God, I really had overspent this week but all these cost are inevitable. Hopefully there are no additional costs waiting for me so soon.
Talk to you, guys soon. See you.

Limit
I just read a hypnosis report. For your information, I'm currently indulging in hypnosis other than magics. This was the second report which specifically mentioned on the experience and lesson of some case studies.
These two reports showed me the evidence where one famous hypnotist of United Kingdom successfully hypnotised two Olympics athletes to overcome their nervous and limitations and finally managed to break the Olympics record.
This made me feeling the same thing. I used to surpass my own limitations and I managed to create some records. However, this kind of motivation started to shrink and it is 'zero' now. I lost the 'oomph' to continue study or outperform myself after S.P.M.. This might be due to S.P.M. was my ultimate target and once I had outperformed it, I lost the motivation and target. I no longer want to fight for results.
Now I recall back, I think, I managed to hypnotise myself last time. This is because according to my standard, I wouldn't be able to get such results. After getting the results, I already pinpointed that as my ultimate limit. Thereupon, I just maintain my normal standard and sometimes I was even below my par level. Where am 'I' now?
Hence, I want to forget about my limit. I want to keep breaking my own records and create new ones. My life shouldn't stop at this stage. There are still many adventures and targets waiting for me. I shouldn't ignore them. Alright, from now onwards, I will forget about my past. I won't set a limit for myself anymore. Indeed, potential should be unpredictable and without limit!

Keep Fit
I had been keeping fit for one week. Don't worry, I didn't on diet, but endeavour to do the basics, for example pumping and sit-up.
For your information, I didn't exercise since the TARc Interclass Badminton Tournament, which meant I had not exercised for 2 months! Thereupon, I started to have a tummy. I hate it because it represents a humiliation to me. I want to annihilate it!
Thus, I do pumping and sit-up every evening except for the days which I did play badminton. I started to pump 15 times everyday and sit-up 20 times on the first day, 25 times on the second day and 30 times thereafter. Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious so far and these are not my limit.
I miss my 'six packs' where I used to have during my secondary school's time so much. I had regular exercise, such as badminton or football every week. In addition, I might have some trainings such as the basics, jogging and marching during the Saturdays for co-curriculum activities.
If I had no co-curricular activity and football on that Saturday, I would pump 50 times and and sit-up 100 times. Hence, the 'six packs' were not easily gained. There were a lot of efforts sacrificed. Nonetheless, I can't make it now. I started to feel tired after 30 times of sit-up. Since I could do it last time, I believe I can do it sooner or later with my perseverance and determination.
This doesn't mean that I love and stress more on appearance. I do all these because they help my agility and response. These are particularly important in badminton and football as well as self-protection. Without a proper body, how are you going to confront with enemy? I'm extremely eager to catch up or perhaps surpass my previous form and skills. I believe with the physical fitness, I can do it. Let's hope for the best.

中秋节
我还记得上个星期五考试后，在T.B.R.跟“游戏”吃午餐时，他问我几时回槟城。我问他为什么，他说中秋节嘛。我回他“那又怎样？”。他说中秋节很重要，是回家团圆的日子。哈哈，难怪连我的表嫂都说如果她将来的孩子像我一样不恋家，她一定很伤心。其实我也不是不恋家，只是对我来说大日子并没有什么分别。老实说，中秋节对我来说并没有特别的意义，唯一的意义就是隔天就是我契爹的神诞而已。
今天早上，我载我的阿嫲去医院探望昨晚入院的阿伯。他这几天咳得很厉害，这两天更是吐血。因此，昨晚我的爸爸就载他去医院就医了。照了X-光，医生说无大碍，为防意外，还是留院观察。他的病房是Tuberculosis病人的地区，因此我去看他时还是怕怕的，毕竟这病是会传染的。说来也奇怪，X-光里的肺是健康的，平时又不烟的他，要中Tuberculosis的机率也很低吧！在此，祝福他早日出院。
下午，我去找公公。我问他中秋节的意义。他说中秋节只是一个节日，并没有什么大分别，不过节日总是有它的来历的。他告诉我这是因为以前不懂什么朝代有暴君，那暴君限制百姓不准沟通，甚至每三户人家才可以拥有一把菜刀。因此，百姓想到一种沟通的办法，那就是把纸条藏在月饼里，选择在农历八月十五造反。最后，他们成功了。他说中秋并不是团圆的日子，团圆理应是除夕的意义。
我发现公公这个月饼的传说跟我在互动百科搜索的资料雷同。以下便是互动百科关于中秋节的资料：
[中秋节 - 概述
中秋节，为每年农历的八月十五。按照中国的农历，八月为秋季的第二个月，古时称为仲秋，因此民间称为中秋。又称秋夕、八月节、八月半、月夕、月节，又因为这一天月亮满圆，象征团圆，又称为团圆节。民间中秋节有吃月饼、赏月、赏桂花、猜灯谜等多种习俗。
中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的。早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。中秋节是中国的传统佳节。根据史籍的记载，“中秋”一词最早出现在《周礼》一书中。到魏晋时，有“谕尚书镇牛淆，中秋夕与左右微服泛江”的记载。直到唐朝初年，中秋节才成为固定的节日。《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”。中秋节的盛行始于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为中国的主要节日之一。这也是中国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。根据中国的历法，农历八月在秋季中间，为秋季的第二个月，称为“仲秋”，而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中，所以称“中秋”。中秋节有许多别称：因节期在八月十五，所以称“八月节”、“八月半”；因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的，所以又俗称“月节”“月夕”；中秋节月亮圆满，象征团圆，因而又叫“团圆节”。在唐朝，中秋节还被称为“端正月”。关于“团圆节”的记载最早见于明代。《西湖游览志余》中说：“八月十五谓中秋，民间以月饼相送，取团圆之意”。《帝京景物略》中也说：“八月十五祭月，其饼必圆，分瓜必牙错，瓣刻如莲花。……其有妇归宁者，是日必返夫家，曰团圆节”中秋晚上，中国大部分地区还有烙“团圆”的习俗，即烙一种象征团圆、类似月饼的小饼子，饼内包糖、芝麻、桂花和蔬菜等，外压月亮、桂树、兔子等图案。祭月之后，由家中长者将饼按人数分切成块，每人一块，如有人不在家即为其留下一份，示团圆。

很快，徐达就攻下元大都，起义成功了。消息传来，朱元璋高兴得连忙传下口谕，在即将来临的中秋节，让全体将士与民同乐，并将当年起兵时以秘密传递信息的“月饼”，作为节令糕点赏赐群臣。此后，“月饼”制作越发精细，品种更多，大者如圆盘，成为馈赠的佳品。以后中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间流传开来。]

中秋节，为每年农历的八月十五。按照中国的农历，八月为秋季的第二个月，古时称为仲秋，因此民间称为中秋。又称秋夕、八月节、八月半、月夕、月节，又因为这一天月亮满圆，象征团圆，又称为团圆节。民间中秋节有吃月饼、赏月、赏桂花、猜灯谜等多种习俗。
中秋节是个古老的节日，祭月赏月是节日的重要习俗。古代帝王有春天祭日、秋天祭月的社制，民家也有中秋祭月之风。到了后来赏月重于祭月，严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的欢娱。中秋赏月的风俗在唐代极盛，许多诗人的名篇中都有咏月的诗句；宋代、明代、清代宫廷和民间的拜月赏月活动更具规模；中国各地至今遗存着许多“拜月坛”、“拜月亭”、“望月楼”的古迹，北京的“月坛”就是明嘉靖年间为皇家祭月修造的。每当中秋月亮升起，于露天设案，将月饼、石榴、枣子等瓜果供于桌案上，拜月后，全家人围桌而坐，边吃边谈，共赏明月。现在，祭月拜月活动已被规模盛大、多彩多姿的群众赏月游乐活动所替代。
吃月饼是节日的另一习俗。月饼象征着团圆。月饼的制作从唐代以后越来越考究。苏东坡有诗写道：“小饼如嚼月，中有酥和饴”，清朝杨光辅写道：“月饼饱 装桃肉馅，雪糕甜砌蔗糖霜”。当时的月饼和现在已颇为相近了。中秋节 - 历史

中秋节 - 由来
说法一
中秋源于帝王祭拜活动：中秋的由来，有二千多年的历史了。《礼记》中记载：“天子春朝日，秋朝月。朝日以朝，夕月以夕。”这里的“夕月”即“拜月”之意。祭月原是帝王的礼制，后来达官文士也效仿，此风逐渐传到民间。形成一个传统的活动。到了后来赏月重于祭月，严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的欢娱。
说法二
八月节的起源与兴盛都和南京有关：八月十五中秋节，江南又称八月节，八月节的起源与兴盛都和南京有关。作为岁时节令，中秋节形成较晚，但玩月这举却由来已久，东晋时，在南京“牛渚玩月”，即是流传至今影响最广的赏月佳话，以至演化为千百年来广大人民群众乐以欢度的中秋节佳节。牛渚(今采石矶)，汉时即属丹阳郡秣陵(今南京)。《续汉书·郡国志》说，秣陵县“南有牛渚”。早在一千六百年前，东晋于南京(当时叫建业)建都，镇守牛渚的谢尚月夜泛舟牛渚江上，听到有在运租船上讽咏自己的《咏史》诗，大为赞赏，于是邀请过船，此人即是袁宏。他们一见如故，吟诗畅叙直达天明。当时谢尚身为镇西将军，而袁宏只是个靠运租为业的穷书生，由于对才能的尊重，他们之间打破了身份的地位壁障。袁宏因受到谢尚的赞誉，从此名声大振。谢尚玩月闻袁宏咏史于前，文人雅士亦趋之于后，于是泛舟、登楼玩月者连绵不绝。唐朝大诗人李白游抵金陵闻知此事，即赋诗曰：“昔闻牛渚泳五章，今来何谢袁家郎？”感慨系之，登城西孙楚酒楼“玩月达曙”。唐欧阳詹作《玩月诗序》也说：“玩月古也，谢赋、鲍诗，眺之亭前，亮之楼中，皆玩月也”。唐明皇是夜游月宫，这些都是流传至今的玩月佳话。八月十五，时届三秋之中，故谓中秋。中秋时节，气温已凉未寒，天高气爽，月朗中天，为玩月最佳时令，人们多爱此时玩月，自唐以下渐演为节令，这就是中秋节的由来。说法三
中秋与时令：八月十五这一天恰好是稻子成熟的时刻，各家都拜土地神。中秋可能就是秋报的遗俗。从时令上说，中秋是“秋收节”，春播夏种的谷物到了秋天就该收获了，自古以来，人们便在这个季节饮酒舞蹈，喜气洋洋地庆祝丰收，这在中国最早的诗歌总集《诗经》中就有描绘。从渊源上说，中秋又是“祭月节”，它源于远古人类对自然的崇拜。古代帝王的礼制中有春秋二祭：春祭日，秋祭月。最初祭月的日子在“秋分”这一天，“秋分”这个季节在八月内每年不同，所以秋分这一天不一定有月亮，祭月无月是大煞风景的，逐渐约定俗成，祭月的日子固定在八月十五日。从科学观察来看，秋季地球与太阳的倾斜度加大，华夏大地上空的暖湿空气逐渐消退，而此时，西北风还很微弱。如此，湿气已去，沙尘未起，空气即显得格外清新，天空特别洁净，月亮看上去既圆又大，是赏月的最佳时节。恰如古诗所云：“光辉皎洁，古今但赏中秋月，寻思岂是月华别?都为人间天上气清澈。”说法四
“中秋”的得名：根据中国的历法，农历八月在秋季中间，为秋季的第二个月，称为“仲秋”，而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中，所以称“中秋”。中秋节有许多别称：因节期在八月十五，所以称“八月节”、“八月半”；因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的，所以又俗称“月节”“月夕”；中秋节月亮圆满，象征团圆，因而又叫“团圆节”。在唐朝，中秋节还被称为“端正月”。说法五
中秋吃月饼的由来：中国很早就有在农历八月十五日中秋节那天吃月饼的习俗，这种习俗的来源说法不一。普遍的说法是：唐朝时，太宗李世民为征讨北方突厥，平定其屡次的侵犯，令手下大将李靖亲自率部出征，转战边塞，结果屡建奇功。八月十五这天凯旋归京。为了庆祝胜利，京都长安城内外鸣炮奏乐，军民狂欢通宵。当时有个到长安通商的吐蕃人，特地向皇上献圆饼祝捷。太宗李世民大喜，接过装璜华丽的饼盒，取出彩色圆饼，指着悬挂天空的明月说道：“应将胡饼邀蟾蜍即月亮。”随后，将圆饼分给了文武百官。从此，中秋节吃月饼的习俗便流传了下来。一说始于宋朝。在北宋时的京都东京(今河南开封)，每逢中秋之夜，人们均登高楼、爬高山，待月亮升起时开始进行祭月活动，所用供品有月饼、瓜果、鸡冠花之类，但以月饼为主。宋代诗人苏东坡诗云：“小饼如嚼月，中有酥和饴。”那时的月饼与现在的月饼已很相似了。中秋节 - 相关传说
嫦娥奔月
版本一
相传，远古时候天上有十日同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，力大无穷，他同情受苦的百姓，登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，后羿娶了个美丽善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。后羿除传艺狩猎外，终日和妻子在一起，人们都羡慕这对郎才女貌的恩爱夫妻。
不少志士慕名前来投师学艺，心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。一天，后羿到昆仑山访友求道，巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘，便向王母求得一包不死药。据说，服下此药，能即刻升天成仙。然而，后羿舍不得撇下妻子，只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里，不料被小人蓬蒙看见了，他想偷吃不死药自己成仙。
三天后，后羿率众徒外出狩猎，心怀鬼胎的蓬蒙假装生病，留了下来。待后羿率众人走后不久，蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院，威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手，危急之时她当机立断，转身打开百宝匣，拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药，身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口，向天上飞去。由于嫦娥牵挂着丈夫，便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。
傍晚，后羿回到家，侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿既惊又怒，抽剑去杀恶徒，蓬蒙早逃走了，后羿气得捶胸顿足，悲痛欲绝，仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字，这时他惊奇地发现，今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮，而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去，可是他追三步，月亮退三步，他退三步，月亮进三步，无论怎样也追不到跟前。后羿无可奈何，又思念妻子，只好派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里，摆上香案，放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果，遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后，纷纷在月下摆设香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。从此，中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。
版本二
在后羿和嫦娥结合以前，后羿是王母的侍从，嫦娥是玉帝的婢女。后来，后羿遭他人陷害。玉帝一怒之下把他夫妻二人双双贬下天庭。后羿在凡间做了一名神射手。因助尧帝射日，得长生药丸一粒。尧叮嘱他说要禁食一年方可服用。后羿回到家，把不老仙丹藏在椽下，收敛心神，以待成仙。一日，后羿得尧召见。嫦娥见椽下白光闪烁，甚是可喜，就找到药丸，吞了下去。瞬时间，她的身体越变越轻，不一会儿竟飞上天去了。后羿回来，刚好看到这一幕，又急又气。他弯弓搭箭，向天射去，希望能够追回嫦娥。但是最后因为风的原因，后羿不得不折返地球，眼睁睁地看嫦娥飞到了月亮上。嫦娥到了月亮上，一阵猛咳，吐出半颗药丸。药丸变成一个玉兔，整日捣药，与她做伴。吴刚折桂
关于中秋节还有一个传说：相传月亮上的广寒宫前的桂树生长繁茂，有五百多丈高，下边有一个人常在砍伐它，但是每次砍下去之后，被砍的地方又立即合拢了。几千年来，就这样随砍随合，这棵桂树永远也不能被砍光。
月饼起义
中秋节吃月饼相传始于元代。当时，中原广大人民不堪忍受元朝统治阶级的残酷统治，纷纷起义抗元。朱元璋联合各路反抗力量准备起义。但朝廷官兵搜查的十分严密，传递消息十分困难。军师刘伯温便想出一计策，命令属下把藏有“八月十五夜起义”的纸条藏入饼子里面，再派人分头传送到各地起义军中，通知他们在八月十五日晚上起义响应。到了起义的那天，各路义军一齐响应，起义军如星火燎原。
原来中秋节并不只是我们中国人的节日，而且还有着许多不同的版本。不管这样，相信大家也会延续这个传统的节日，一起赏月，吃月饼。最后，祝大家中秋节快了。

Examination Phobia
Yo, I'm back to Penang and ready to be back in action at anytime. As you may already know, I was having final examinations this week.
I was having P2 Corporate Reporting's examination on Monday. I purposely went to college 10 minutes earlier. I chatted with my friends because I felt quite confident as P2 was one of my strongest subjects. Nonetheless, I started to panic once I saw the examination paper. Frankly speaking, I didn't prepare well as I wasted my Sunday on restoring my consciousness since I went to Genting Highlands on Saturday. Hence, I didn't do any tutorial question. The questions were mainly came out from tutorial questions and thus I felt so disappointed that I didn't know how to do. For your information, I didn't do any tutorial questions for all the subjects throughout the semester and even didn't practise them before going for the examinations. This was the consequence! Please don't be like me.
I attended P6 Advanced Taxation's briefing held by Mr Michael and Mr Chong. Mr Michael still recognised me, especially O.Y.J.. He kept on asking us whether we would like to take P6. We didn't give him an exact answer. After that, I went to SBS office to submit my ACCA acknowledgement letter to Ms Sumathy with O.Y.J.. However, I couldn't find her. Luckily Mr Simson was just outside the office and I found him for help. He asked me to leave my acknowledgement letter on her table. Before that, I chatted with Simson. Lo and behold, Ms Angeline came to kick my back knee since my back was facing her. I didn't notice her presence. She ambushed me successfully.
Actually, I was so surprised as I didn't expect her to do this on me as we were not so close. She was just my tutor in the first semester, one year had over, she still recognised me. I'm absolutely glad with it. I complaint to her that her paper was tough. She wanted to beat me, saying that the paper was so easy and she had gone through one round with us in the last lecture. Actually what I meant was the first question, group account's part. The notes were so tricky. Seeing her expression, I just told her that I hoped I could score full marks for her paper.
We had a lunch with my 'cousin', she seemed like hinting me something. She told me that if I love someone, I must tell her, who knows she is actually loving me and just waiting for my proposal. If I don't confess, I may lose the chance! I replied her that if the girl loves me, she should tell me as well. Females always demand for fairness, “男女平等”, then why males ought to confess? She said this is because girls feel shy in this matter, they are scared of rejection. I replied her that these are the matters which boys will think and take care of too. Boys also are scared of being rejected. We even care that if we are rejected, we can't be friend with that girl anymore due to awkwardness. I'm not sure about others, I told her that if a girl proposes to me, I'll still be friend with her even though I reject her offer. The only reason I won't be friend with her is I already have a partner or my partner objects. So far, I'm still single and available.
After this disappointed paper, I felt helpless, I lost my mood to study the remaining papers. Indeed, I didn't have the mood to study P3 Business Analysis on the following day. I forced myself to finish, at least the lecture notes as I had gone through the text book once. I did it but I couldn't absorb the content and what worried me was I forgot what I had memorised before! My cousin stated that I gave myself too much pressure. He suggested me to take a short jog before going to college the next day.
I didn't follow his advice. This time, I felt extremely nervous! I almost vomited before I got into the examination room. Mr Yeo, my lecture was my invigilator. As usual, I was choosing the optional questions during the reading and planning time but I noticed an error, which was the sales revenue for AAA in the second statement. I asked Mr Yeo for clarification but he also didn't know. He asked me to wait for him to clarify with others. Alright, the examination started, I didn't like the environment as Mr Yeo and other invigilators was talking in front while I was sitting in the first row. They were distracting my attention. After the examination, I asked Mr Yeo for his internal revision class's date. He told me that he had not decided yet but he would ask Miow or Mr Simson to post it on Facebook's wall once he has confirmed.
Frankly speaking, I straight away felt relieving after the examination, it was really 松了一口气! When I was doing the last question, the song of 《怒火街头》, "没时间后悔" played in my mind and I started to get my form. After the examination, I went to CITC with O.Y.J. because he wanted to print his acknowledgement letter, then we had our lunch at T.B.R. with E.S.H.. I just knew that he was from Kedah during our conversation over there.
At night, my cousin brought his new dog back. A two-month-old pudle.
I went to DKC with E.S.H. to collect my F.A.S. T-shirt and Mr Michael and Mr Chong were going to brief us on P6's matter again. The briefing was similar to what I had attended on Monday and hence I just stayed until he gave us the Deloitte Tax Challenge's guidelines. Sorry, Sir. I talked to Mr Koh in DKC for the first time. He told us that this time the students' performance in P2 was not good. So far, the highest mark under his marking was 65. I convinced him that the best papers were at the back, just be patient. He said he was hopeful for that.
We ate our lunch at a Hokkien shop located at T.B.R.. E.S.H. asked me whether I was used to that food or not because it was in Hokkien style. I asked him not to worry so much since I'm a Hokkien too but I asked him for the difference of Hokkien's food. He told me that Hokkien's food was colder than others.
I asked him whether I'm 花心？This was the impression that I gave to my friends since I was still a primary school student. He told me that I'm not. I asked him whether he judged this because he knew me for 1 year already but he replied me 'no'! He got this impression since we first met. He said the way I teased other girls was far behind his level and my way was considered normal and within the limit and control. As compared with him, my level was just Level 1 given his one was Level 10. He was right, I'm the person who 口花心不花 but most of the people don't notice this or don't believe this.
I fetched him to change his pants and thereafter we headed to club house. We played snooker there. It was so cheap, just cost us RM4 per hour. However, we couldn't find the person in charge at the counter and this wasted us around 10 minutes to have this problem settled. We met Ms Angeline again over there. She looked at me with a huge surprise since I was holding the snooker balls. I wished her happy holidays just like what I told Ms Tai and Mr Chin just now. She asked me about the other papers. I told her that P3 was tough a bit whereas P1 was within my expectation. She teased me that now was my time to enjoy. Obviously, she knew me.
Do you think playing snooker is a so-called bad guy's game? I don't think so. Snooker makes me applied my physic knowledge the most. It tests us on accuracy and sharpness. I strongly agree that many people smoke in the snooker shop but this is the other thing in college. I also hate people smoking and luckily my dad quits smoking already.
This time, I became more confident and accurate for straight ball. At least, I just slipped my cue once. However, I still needed to polish hard on my reflection and refraction skills. Besides, snooker requires us to estimate our force, find a solution to break the snooker, snooker the opponent and locate the white ball after hitting the target. It's not just for acting cool purpose! Unfortunately, I'm lack of practices and I don't play more than 10 times so far.
I'm looking forward to snooker again, hopefully we can find some free time later.
At night, I was playing with the doggie again. He was so smart that he was able to unlock his cage's door. As a consequence, he urinated and passed motion everywhere again! He was seriously punished by my cousin. Here are the photos:
I was having P2 Corporate Reporting's examination on Monday. I purposely went to college 10 minutes earlier. I chatted with my friends because I felt quite confident as P2 was one of my strongest subjects. Nonetheless, I started to panic once I saw the examination paper. Frankly speaking, I didn't prepare well as I wasted my Sunday on restoring my consciousness since I went to Genting Highlands on Saturday. Hence, I didn't do any tutorial question. The questions were mainly came out from tutorial questions and thus I felt so disappointed that I didn't know how to do. For your information, I didn't do any tutorial questions for all the subjects throughout the semester and even didn't practise them before going for the examinations. This was the consequence! Please don't be like me.
I attended P6 Advanced Taxation's briefing held by Mr Michael and Mr Chong. Mr Michael still recognised me, especially O.Y.J.. He kept on asking us whether we would like to take P6. We didn't give him an exact answer. After that, I went to SBS office to submit my ACCA acknowledgement letter to Ms Sumathy with O.Y.J.. However, I couldn't find her. Luckily Mr Simson was just outside the office and I found him for help. He asked me to leave my acknowledgement letter on her table. Before that, I chatted with Simson. Lo and behold, Ms Angeline came to kick my back knee since my back was facing her. I didn't notice her presence. She ambushed me successfully.
Actually, I was so surprised as I didn't expect her to do this on me as we were not so close. She was just my tutor in the first semester, one year had over, she still recognised me. I'm absolutely glad with it. I complaint to her that her paper was tough. She wanted to beat me, saying that the paper was so easy and she had gone through one round with us in the last lecture. Actually what I meant was the first question, group account's part. The notes were so tricky. Seeing her expression, I just told her that I hoped I could score full marks for her paper.
We had a lunch with my 'cousin', she seemed like hinting me something. She told me that if I love someone, I must tell her, who knows she is actually loving me and just waiting for my proposal. If I don't confess, I may lose the chance! I replied her that if the girl loves me, she should tell me as well. Females always demand for fairness, “男女平等”, then why males ought to confess? She said this is because girls feel shy in this matter, they are scared of rejection. I replied her that these are the matters which boys will think and take care of too. Boys also are scared of being rejected. We even care that if we are rejected, we can't be friend with that girl anymore due to awkwardness. I'm not sure about others, I told her that if a girl proposes to me, I'll still be friend with her even though I reject her offer. The only reason I won't be friend with her is I already have a partner or my partner objects. So far, I'm still single and available.
After this disappointed paper, I felt helpless, I lost my mood to study the remaining papers. Indeed, I didn't have the mood to study P3 Business Analysis on the following day. I forced myself to finish, at least the lecture notes as I had gone through the text book once. I did it but I couldn't absorb the content and what worried me was I forgot what I had memorised before! My cousin stated that I gave myself too much pressure. He suggested me to take a short jog before going to college the next day.
I didn't follow his advice. This time, I felt extremely nervous! I almost vomited before I got into the examination room. Mr Yeo, my lecture was my invigilator. As usual, I was choosing the optional questions during the reading and planning time but I noticed an error, which was the sales revenue for AAA in the second statement. I asked Mr Yeo for clarification but he also didn't know. He asked me to wait for him to clarify with others. Alright, the examination started, I didn't like the environment as Mr Yeo and other invigilators was talking in front while I was sitting in the first row. They were distracting my attention. After the examination, I asked Mr Yeo for his internal revision class's date. He told me that he had not decided yet but he would ask Miow or Mr Simson to post it on Facebook's wall once he has confirmed.
Frankly speaking, I straight away felt relieving after the examination, it was really 松了一口气! When I was doing the last question, the song of 《怒火街头》, "没时间后悔" played in my mind and I started to get my form. After the examination, I went to CITC with O.Y.J. because he wanted to print his acknowledgement letter, then we had our lunch at T.B.R. with E.S.H.. I just knew that he was from Kedah during our conversation over there.
At night, my cousin brought his new dog back. A two-month-old pudle.
See, I could lift it with one palm. It was so cute, always bites and licks my fingers and toes. One thing very bad was it urinated and passed motion everywhere.
I was having my last paper, P1 Governance, Risk and Ethics' paper on Friday. Same thing happened again, I felt like want to vomit before the examination. Mr Tan Vooi Giap, my lecturer/tutor was my invigilator. He touched my shoulder when he saw me before the examination started and hence I started this paper quite well but I missed one sub-question of question one. I was nervous and wrote my answer on the draft's side. I found that I still got ample time after I finished the paper and hence I rewrote my answer on a fresh sheet of paper, tore it out and tied it together with question one's answer booklet. Nevertheless, Mr Tan said he was not the marker. The marker is a part-timer and hence he was unsure whether he/she would accept my answer which was on the draft's side or not. Regarding the answer on fresh sheet of tore paper, he showed me the examination's rules that students were not allowed to tear any answer booklet. He frightened me that I would fail and his expression and reaction were so funny.
Why I was so nervous until wanting to vomit even though I had done my part? Does this call exam phobia? Honestly speaking, I have taken so many tests and examinations, including those some of you may not have experienced before but this was my first exam phobia other than taking motorcycle's test. This exam phobia was also the most serious one! My quote “淡定有钱剩” also had no use to me! I must find out the root cause and settle it before the ACCA external examinations.
I went to DKC with E.S.H. to collect my F.A.S. T-shirt and Mr Michael and Mr Chong were going to brief us on P6's matter again. The briefing was similar to what I had attended on Monday and hence I just stayed until he gave us the Deloitte Tax Challenge's guidelines. Sorry, Sir. I talked to Mr Koh in DKC for the first time. He told us that this time the students' performance in P2 was not good. So far, the highest mark under his marking was 65. I convinced him that the best papers were at the back, just be patient. He said he was hopeful for that.
We ate our lunch at a Hokkien shop located at T.B.R.. E.S.H. asked me whether I was used to that food or not because it was in Hokkien style. I asked him not to worry so much since I'm a Hokkien too but I asked him for the difference of Hokkien's food. He told me that Hokkien's food was colder than others.
I asked him whether I'm 花心？This was the impression that I gave to my friends since I was still a primary school student. He told me that I'm not. I asked him whether he judged this because he knew me for 1 year already but he replied me 'no'! He got this impression since we first met.

Genting Highlands
Yo, I went to Genting Highlands last night. Yes, I went there last night until 5:45a.m.. Yea, it was at dawn, you're not seeing wrongly! Yesterday, my cousin came to her brother's house for printing where I stay during holidays and weekends. I told her that I almost finished inputting P2 Corporate Reporting and teased her that we would be able to go to Genting Highlands later.
Out of my expectation, she told her father. Hence, he came to my room and asked me to change my cloths. Frankly speaking, I rejected him initially but he insisted and said that there were two cars altogether and seats were available for me. I was left with no other options but to comply. We departed at around 11:45p.m.. As usual, the first thing we did is heading to casino. This was my second time been there.
When I passed through the entrance, the policeman blocked me. I showed him my identity card but he didn't want to check but to ask me taking down my cap. I was wearing my cap that time since my hair was messy. My cousin told me that this was to ensure that I was under the CCTV surveillance in case I cheated. Therefore, I straight away headed to toilet in order to adjust my hair and tied my cap on my jeans. This was what I used to do last time and I felt it fashionable and cool.
What a coincidence, Miriam Yeung was holding her concert over there. No wonder so many fans over there. Definitely, the concert was over as it was already around 1a.m.! There was a new big television sponsored by Panasonic Malaysia in front of Hotel Highlands.
My uncle asked me to make a Genting's member card but I declined after knowing that I couldn't be able to collect points without gambling. I would prefer to have one later after I cut my hair. I wandered around with my cousin in the casino. Our objective was the same, we were hunting for pretty female dealers, lolz... Unfortunately, we were disappointed. There were no pretty dealers around most probably it was too late. They needed to sleep earlier in order to keep their appearance nice. I watched the Tennis US Open in the casino. It was Roger Federer! He didn't wear his blue shirt anymore but wearing a red shirt, hopefully this colour can help him getting his World Number One back.
I went to the First World's casino for the first time. As compared with the other combined casinos, this one certainly was relatively smaller and quieter. The number or kinds of games also fewer. However, one thing was interesting was that there was a counter providing gambling guides regarding the rules and method of playing for each game. Oh ya, before I forgot. Before we left the combined casinos for First World's casino, we gathered around a Roulette table, my uncle told me it would be number 4 this time but I told him it would be zero. It ended up coming with zero. How lucky I was but we didn't play in the game.
Again, I wandered around First World Hotel with my cousin. A man standing near the escalators came to ask me whether I needed prostitution service. (要小姐吗？) Huh, how dare he did this kind of activity over there but it was a normal case. My uncle taught me playing Keno and he lost RM30. You couldn't win the banker unless you were especially lucky on that day.
We ate roti canai at around 5a.m.. After that, we went back to our house. When we reached, it was 7a.m.! Oh my God, I still needed to have a proper sleep as I would be having examination on the next day. I woke up at 10:30a.m. and felt unconscious as my brain lost its functions until after my brought my cousin's dog for urinating and passing motion in the evening.
I sms William in the afternoon after confirming that I was able to log in to the myACCA's website, telling him that I could help him to register and pay first. Nevertheless, he rejected my offer and stating that he would like to solve it on his own. Alright, it's always a good thing to be independent.
A Genting's trip spoilt my original plan, which was doing past year's questions. Nonetheless, I really couldn't make it. Hopefully I will be getting better tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

New Look
'Tadaa'... This is my blog's new look? What do think about it? Cool? I changed it few days ago. Hopefully it gives u a real surprise and brings you some joy.
Well, today is Saturday, that means 2 days later will be my first day of final examinations. I believe, everybody is going into their final stage of preparation. Me too, but just limited to P2 Corporate Reporting :P. I hope everyone can get their desired results as what Mr Tan's prediction, the pass rate for this badge of students in this semester can surpass the pass years' rate.
I don't know whether I am too stressed. I have a pimple or blemish on my forehead. It is very big and it almost makes me to call it an acne! Oh my god, why? I had not had this kind of pimple since Form 3. It comes to me again after six years. I still remembered that it came to find me for the first time when I was in Form 1. My monitor, L.B.Y. asked me about it but I didn't know how to answer him as it seemed like won't be annihilated after months. I just simply told him that it was a cancer.
It was on the right side of my nose at the first time; my right cheek during Form 2 at the second time; my left cheek during Form 3 at the third time and now it's on my forehead for the forth time! I hate it, please get away from me as soon as possible!
Due to this, I was applying Clinelle Blemish Clear, Skin Smoothing Scrub and SnoWhite Mask almost everyday while studying. See, how relax I am and it shouldn't come to disturb me! It makes me seemed like having an infra-red, lolz... My cousin got them all free of charge, anyone interested?
My good friend, William called me this afternoon regarding the ACCA online payment and Debit Card Verification procedures. Look like many people don't understand and familiar with the steps. I thought after I posted the e-mails on the Facebook wall, everybody knows what to do. In fact, some of them don't! I know some of them just simply want to disturb you for helping them as they even aren't interested to read it! Maybe it is too long!
Certainly, some of them still can't understand part of it. Hence, I did take some time to demonstrate the procedures to some of my friends last week. I can't help much actually, please be independent and solve on your own. Any further inquiries just refer to me.
I told William step by step and asked him to jot down on a piece of paper. Nonetheless, he couldn't make it after getting my confirmation and his brother's Debit Card was locked by the banks after three attempts. I also didn't know what happen to him and where the problem was! Therefore, he had to ask the bank to re-activate the card on Monday. I planned to pay for him but the myACCA's website couldn't be accessed now due to some improvements.
Let's see what happen tomorrow. He is my good friend, I don't want this stupid thing annoyed him because the final examinations are around the corner. He shouldn't be annoyed in this period.
I also got to know that those paid the ACCA registration fees online should hand in their receipt and acknowledgement letter to college. I found it ridiculous since this is so-called online payment, the system and network should be automated. We don't have to confirm our status and examination venue by posting the acknowledgement letter to ACCA UK again even though it is on first-come-first-serve basis. This is the purpose of making the payment online! If we need to repeat the traditional way, why should it encourage the students to make online payment? Just to get the 'early bird's' discount?

Magic Series 11
Yo, I presented a beginner magic, called 'Regroup Magic' on Monday while waiting for my Corporate Reporting's lecturer/tutor. This was a fairly simple magic. You can do it by following my sequence. Don't believe? Try it.
I heard from my BFF that you are not allowed to watch the 'Mission Impossible' in 'Magic Series 10' due to the privacy setting. I'm very sorry about it. If you are interested, kindly leave me a message, I shall send you an invitation link.
Okay, no more magic videos in coming weeks as I will be preparing for my final examinations. See you guys soon.

Magic Series 10
Yo, long time didn't see me performing magic, did you? I'm very sorry about that because I can't find a suitable time and appropriate camera man to perform. For your information, my final examinations are on September. Hence, everyone is busy preparing for their examinations, so do I.
However, I took the opportunity to perform a magic to my Business Analysis's tutor, Mr Tey. Initially, I planned to perform another magic to him but he refused me to video it down. Hence, I just performed this magic, called 'Ultimate Magic-Mission Impossible' to him in order to impress him. He told that somebody had shown him this magic before, just that he couldn't figure out the secret until now. This is also the magic which I would like to perform at Starbucks for foreigners.
My friend, William helped me stealthily film down the process. Since I promised my Sir that I wouldn't open to public at Facebook, thus it is just open to my blog's followers exclusively! So far, this is my most favourite magic. If you see the whole process, you will know why I call this magic as 'Mission Impossible'. I hope you enjoy.
On Wednesday, I planned to perform a magic, called 'Friends' Magic' to my Governance, Risk and Ethics lecturer and tutor, Mr Tan but he declined my video request too. Haiz, looks like just Mr Johnny dare to let me film down my magic. It was okay, I continued my magic. Nonetheless, he straight away told me my gimmicks and secret before I finished my magic. Sir, yes, you were right that that was my secret move but you had to watch the whole process instead of laughing away as the essence was at the last part. I also knew that the first part had been made known to most of us and that was why I modified the magic to include part II. Never mind, I would show you the whole magic again next time.
Ms Angeline disclosed the final examination's tips at lecture hall this Thursday. In my opinion, she shouldn't do so as the source of the tips was from Mr Koh. She announced it publicly would create a serious trouble to Mr Koh. The examination department surely will raise doubt over the excellent results from the students as compared with past year's trends. I knew she was kind to let students know the tips and lessen the burden of students, but the implication was unpredictable. Hopefully Mr Koh would be safe from this threat.

ACCA
This week, I was seriously annoyed by ACCA! First of all, I logged in to my myACCA's account in order to fill the annual return form on Monday. I just browsed through my particulars on the right hand box, such as I have passed 9 out of 14 papers and claimed 3 out of 36 hours of practical experience so far.
However, I encountered some problems later. When I checked for my payments and fees, I noticed that I had one overdue transaction invoice! I was helpless as I paid for all the fees on time! This was almost impossible! It stated that I still owed them 124 Pounds, which was equivalent to RM620!
This made me down and all my study mood was gone! I lost appetite too! I was thinking, where should I get the money? I checked the particulars in the invoice and I found that, there were mistakes, probably human error! In my payment advice, it states that I had paid 303 Pounds, which were divided in to two exemption fees of 179 Pounds and 55 Pounds respectively and 69 Pounds of Initial Registration - ACCA Qualification! Nevertheless, I had paid for the initial registration in my first payment to ACCA and the transaction was closed!
I asked Mr Simson for solution on Tuesday after his briefing but he asked me to email ACCA with my receipts. I did it on that night but I didn't photocopy my bank draft, I just had the bank draft's receipt with me. I did whatever I can. I emailed ACCA UK and gave them 1 week of time to carry out the investigation. I felt it silly as ACCA asked us to study Audit and Assurance but their internal audit and internal control were that weak!
I still din't get their reply on Wednesday except for the acknowledgement mail stating that they had received my mail. I asked Mr Tan Vooi Giap for the email address which he often send to ACCA. He said he just use the 'contact us' icon on the website. However, it refreshed every 5 minutes and it didn't offer me the attachment function. By the way, 5 minutes was too short to complete my complain letter! At night, I paid for the F6-F9 exemption fees using my Public Bank Day-to-Day Visa Debit Card after receiving two emails from Public Bank.
Thursday, I completed my evaluation online and printed out the evidence and some notes in CITC. After I finished my lunch, I headed to Mr Simson's room in order to seek for his help. On my way there, I met Mr Benny Goh, my previous Taxation's tutor. We had a short conversation. As usual, I couldn't find Mr Simson. Then I straight away went to Administrative Office to find Ms Soo Yoke Lin. She was typing a letter when I found her. I interrupted her, told her my problems and showed her the evidence! She was so nice and listened to me patiently.
She told me that there used to be payment problems every year. She gave me an email address from ACCA Malaysia and the recipient's name. She told me that this guy was the one facilitate our transactions, he had all the evidence and records with him. She also told me that ACCA UK took a lot time to do their work while this guy, Mr Clement just needed roughly two working days. She even gave me the complain's format. I wanted to take the copy, unfortunately she just had that copy and refused to give me, instead she gave me a paper to copy. I declined by taking photos of the format instead. She was so surprised! I told her that I was just making use of the technology. She asked me to find her back next week if my problem is not solved! I followed the format, scanned, uploaded and emailed to Mr Clement Dass at night.
Friday morning, around 9:10a.m., I received an email from Mr Clement. He replied my first mail regarding the exam venue. Then I posted the information on the Facebook wall of AFA Group. I never expected Ms Geh to comment on my post and even 'liked' my comments. I felt so honoured! Maybe as what our course representative, M.Y.K. said, this was the sharing spirit among AFA community. What bizarre was, a girl asking me to help find out the exam venue in Johor Bahru. She should know that there is no free lunch in this world. Besides, I am not the ACCA officer, how can I know where is it? She should take her initiative to email ACCA personally. Maybe this was the reason why Ms Geh 'liked' my comment again.
In the lecture hall, Anthony and Lucas asked me whether I would take my ACCA examinations in Penang. I thought, they were the first ones who saw my post. I don't know for the time being as I haven't apply for the examination yet. I need to consider where will I be during that time. I was so shocked when Anthony told me that the previous venue as mentioned in 'other' was PCGHS instead of Penang TARc.
At night, when I checked my mail box, I received Mr Clement's reply regarding my overdue payment. He said he had asked the relevant department in Glasgow office to investigate and update further for me. I hope it won't take too much time! I won't have the study mood once the problem is not settled! Please do pity a poor student like me!
Today, Saturday, I saw the F6-F9 exemption fees were reflected on my bank statement. It meant that the payment had been processed and accepted. ACCA don't have any reason to revise my 69 Pounds per paper invoice later. I think, it's also time for me to disclose the emails from Public Bank on the Facebook wall of AFA Group. Let's unleash our spirit of sharing.
Before that, let me emphasise one thing. I didn't blame Mr Simson as some students did. They blamed him for his incompetence, inexperience and difficulty to find him. However, do they ever think that Mr Simson is a 'new bird' as Programmed Supervisor? I strongly believe that he can answer your questions regarding CIMA's stuff. Have you ever encountered a lecturer/tutor who is willing to give you their cell phone number? I have some. I think this is because they trust me and have faith in me. Mr Simson gives his handphone number to some of the students. They should take their initiative to seek for remedies whenever a problem arises instead of just waiting for others to respond or babysit or 'spoonfed' by college. What will you do if you face some problems in your work next time? Are you going to ask your boss for help? Come on, don't be silly, matured and independent a bit!
