T6 Exam

Today's paper: T6 Drafting Financial Statements

It was a rainy day. It poured and the wind was so strong. But as the wind and water (feng & shui) was present, hope everyone did well..

I can see Mel in her car..

The huru-haraness outside the hall

When I opened the paper, I had to laugh. Question 2 was preparing a cashflow statement (indirect method). Just before the exam, as in 1 hour before, I had Edwin teach me that as I totally forgotten how to do. So it came out, a 25-mark question. Problem is I managed to do part of it but I knew I can't get full marks as it didn't balance. But, thank God at least I went through it just before the exam or I wouldn't even be able to do at all. =)
I believe this paper I can pass. Maybe not 100 marks as Ms. Shanta would have expected but pass is good enough for me.. Just with question 1 alone, can pass already (I think).

Summary:
Question 1
(a) Income Statement & Appropriation Account (Incomplete Records)
(b) Capital Account of partners
(c) Statement of Financial Position

Question 2
(a) Cashflow Statement
(b) Comments on the company's financial position

Question 3
(a) Goodwill on acquisition
(b) Consolidated Income Statement
(c) some crappy 2-mark question

Question 4
(a) Ratios
(b) Comments on ratios
(c) can't remember..

But all in all.. It's okla..

Exam Blues

It's only 3 more days to the exams and I feel I'm not fully prepared. Just when I thought I could do the paper and start concentrating on other papers, they back-fire and show me that I'm not as good as I think I am. Maybe it's just my level of calmness is always more on the high side. I probably should start practicing the law of attraction and some of the stuff they say in The Secret by Rhonda Bryne. "I must pass all FOUR papers including audit" should keep playing in my mind again and again like a tape recorder.

Part of me feels confident in passing the papers excluding audit BUT as I look at it, I'm not too sure anymore. My MOCK results gave me some level of confidence in passing but I'm still feeling really nervous for the first time. Maybe I shouldn't mix so much with Mel.. (Ms Joyce advice) Nah.. She's good influence in the sense that she make me more kia-su over my studies as I tend to be quite tidak-apa sometimes..

Besides that, I just got an email from ACCA. It just made me more confused about the venue of my exams. They changed the venue of some of the papers. Just hope ACCA didn't screw up and gave us the wrong location, considering the fact that almost everyone is going to Sedaya when all of us registered for Sunway. Wonder who's gonna take the exam in Sunway then..

Now, I should get back to studying. Suffer in the present, reap rewards in the future. *I MUST pass all papers*

Results For T3, T4 & T5

I got my T3, T4 and T5 results back and I passed!!

You must understand my happiness as I really really thought I was going to fail T5. I hardly studied and I couldn't do 1 whole essay long question.. So I'm really grateful and thankful to God for helping me pass. All glory to Him really...

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those who prayed for me. Thanks..

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Hope In Dark Places

I actually did pass my T4 and T5. Which is a good thing. After getting the papers back and realising that this saturday is another T4 and T5 test, I, oh well, feel like fainting. What's more, there's this moral education exam that I don't even know no head and tail about. The more I think about the exam, the more strangest of thoughts come to my mind. Like:-

"Cannot laaa... Must get 100 marks laa... See?"
"For me borderline passes are not good enough. Must get at least over 80.."
"50 is my standard for the passing mark.."
"I must get more than hundred. 100 marks is the passing mark"
"I'm not happy with my results. I should at least get 80"

It's like I feel I'm being pressured by these people to study but my inner me is resisting it. Opting instead to computer games and TV. No wonder they say those two boxes destroy lives. But then again, if I don't study, I'm bound to fail. Failing means being barred from exams. Being barred from exams means I have to see those lecturers for yet another semester. Which means paying the tuition fees again.

I guess that's how life's work. Just one action can lead to so many consequences that sometimes makes me ask myself, am I doing the right thing? Going the right way? If not, which way should I go? I'm pretty sure everyone has in some point of life asked this question before. Which is probably why Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life." In our darkest moments, in our frail despair, He is someone who will never leave us nor forsake us. And I'm really grateful for this hope.

New Blog!!!

New post in a new blog. Somehow, I have gotten tired of the old one so I decided to well, get a new one. Sounds like changing clothes. Only, it wouldn't be that often. I hope. I got back my PT 2 Paper 2 results back today. I wouldn't say it's good but at least I PASSED!!! I so thought I would fail. But then again, the results weren't that good. And Mel was sulking away at her paper. But hopefully she cheer up abit after the wiper incident.

At class, we learnt about computer systems. And the lecturer was explaining about how the CPU have a primary storage aka main memory. This primary storage is divided into two; RAM and ROM. She said that the RAM has volatile memory meaning that the contents of the memory are erased once the computer is switched off. We were joking that after the class, we likewise will erase all the memory.

All my plans for next week has also crashed with all the extra classes. AGAIN!! Mann... This is depressing. Oh well... *sighs*
