After A Long Hiatus...My Birthday Update!

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:20:00 +0000

Ever since after June sitting exam, there isn't any update. (Mainly due to laziness and cracking my head to complete OBU) ╯.╰

It's my 21st birthday! It should be huge but no plan on throwing a party. So a simple dinner at TGIF, Paradigm with friends.

Well this celebration was two days before my actual birthday. The day my result was released (one passed one failed) damn P4! (╥﹏╥)

Thanks Hor & Yap (not sure who else) for the gift, everyone for the dinner, and KC for the drink.

Cake from my mom

Well it's late celebration with my family. Still I am grateful about it. (P.s. I got the cake on 26 Sept)

Unpredictable

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:32:00 +0000

I was supposed to commence my job on 16th of June. However, there was an unpredictable twist happened last Friday (a call from HR).

As I have no Professional qualification or Degree, I do not meet the minimum academic requirement. Why they do not accept Diploma or Advanced Diploma from ACCA? AWW!

It raises doubts within me. Do these ACCA certificates (Diploma or Advanced Diploma) actually worth more than mere piece of paper? (¬_¬)

Currently I am so regret that I did not complete my CAT! CAT are indeed important!

The climax is I have "demoted" from permanent position to internship position. (and it has not confirmed yet) Haha, the very first demotion I have in life. (-__-)

韩语课

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sat, 31 May 2014 15:23:00 +0000

二月初，我报名了Korea Plaza KL的Survival Korean (Level 1)。哈哈，我读了4个月的课，可是老师在班上说的话在某个程度上对我而言还是外星语。（有点对不起선생）

下个星期三就是考试了。(︺︹︺) 我觉得应该是不及格了，可是还有一线希望（考试70% + 出席率 30%）……应该能刚好及格吧。

My 선생님, Ms Park Young Hee

我学会了以下的对话！

이것은 얼마예요?
（这，多少钱？）

오~ 비 싸요!
（噢～很贵！）

깎아 주세요.
（请给个折扣。）

Interview

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Tue, 13 May 2014 15:39:00 +0000

Attended the longest interview session in my life yesterday! The duration of the group interview session was 5 hours! O﹏o Past interviews I went prior yesterday were always quick and short, or even no interview at all.

Hmm, okay. Here we go...

Actually, I registered my application on KPMG career page in February 2014! However there was completely no reply and I thought my resume must be eliminated in their screening. (¬_¬)

After 2 months of waiting, I got a phone call and he asked :"Are you still looking for job?" lol. Well It is from one of the Big Four, so the answer is obvious! He told me to complete their online assessment. I thought it would be testing on audit knowledge or similar. I chose to believed that! Haha, I took all my F8 notes right in front of my desk preparing with the assessment! However, it was simple assessment of competencies, numerical and verbal reasoning.

Then, I was invited to attend the group interview session. I was kinda nervous at first. It is GROUP INTERVIEW, that means I need to be outstanding in order to get the job. Well, with my average (slightly below (¬_¬)) result...I was still trying to be very optimistic. Haha think positive!!!

Oh! There is one thing I like about KPMG. Fast, fast and fast!

I heard from others that other firm has their assessment and interview on different days, and only get to know the outcome a week later. KPMG works differently. Assessments and interview on same day! The best is you will get to know the result immediately on the same day and received an offer letter instantly.

So I really want to say... uh...

I got the offer! \(‾▿‾\) But there is condition! I must pass my final 2 ACCA papers in coming June sitting!

Still happy though.

Internet Upgraded

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:09:00 +0000

上个星期，我妈去柔佛州做义工。回来时，突然间就说把我们家streamyx配套升级，从1MBPS到4MBPS。

哈哈，终于摆脱了乌龟速度的时代！\ (•◡•) /

虽然下载速度已经升级到4MBPS，可是毕竟还是streamyx（不是Unifi），所以上载速度还是很慢。(╥﹏╥) 玩games会卡。

右边：升级前；左边：升级后

心满意足了。Youtube看高清不会卡，Qvod下载速度能到200kbps，PPS下载速度能到1.5mbps。不错吧！

以前，为了流畅而被逼看流畅素质视频。现在是时候看高清了！

A Trip to Chiling Again

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sat, 31 Aug 2013 15:48:00 +0000

Chiling Waterfall
10th August 2013 （我的生日那一天）

一年过后，再一次去Chiling Waterfall。本来上次是为了Chua快要出国升学所办最后的outing，可惜他要提早飞去德国开课，所以他没跟着来。

这次就带Chua来体验一下可称得上Selangor最好的瀑布！一同前行的有CB，Hor，Chua的弟弟。

坐在车后面，风吹袭的感觉很舒服，而且路边风景显然跟坐在车里不一样。

………………………………………………………………………………

这次，我们已不是菜鸟，而是Chiling Fall的专家了。至少不用再担心会迷路(╥﹏╥)
当天早上去Chua的家（他驾车），可是一大早大家就要一起骗他妈说，去爬山不是去瀑布玩水。每次去短程旅行都得骗某个人的妈妈。ಠ_ಠ

大致上是跟上一次没什么变化，就多了一个以塑料品的数量来计算需付的deposit（不便宜，那时我们都差不多RM50了）。只要在离开时，能证明没丢弃在森林里就能拿回。美好的大自然人人有责啊。

第一个crossing。有兴趣要去这瀑布的话，记得这两个忠告——“分岔路，选左边” 和 “迷路的话，就跟着河流走就行” 呵呵这是专家的话。(─‿‿─)

看到牌子就过河。
每次我读牌上的警告，在想如果真的下雨，而且身处在森林里，那时连要出去都不能了。(︺︹︺)

一路上看到三块石头叠在河边。这里的人很亲切，如果不知要不要过河，就留意有没有上图的石头叠在一起，有就过河。

………………………………………………………………………………

在桥上拍的照片

其实，原本是要过河六次才能到瀑布，但现在第一的渡河已建起桥。所以比较轻松.
还有的是过了桥后，到第二渡河有一段长时间（差不多20分钟），不要自以为迷路了。
过了河第二次后，其余就不用很长时间就到。

看上图，在那里真的有很多鱼。很多到一手进水都能碰到鱼了。能不能抓是另一回事，可是要放生。

………………………………………………………………………………

第二瀑布

我们走了差不多一个小时！走到都有点累了。终于到了第一个瀑布，那天还蛮多人的。
可惜就没好一点的照片～
只有下面这一张(︺︹︺)

看那红箭头指的。Hor，还有他独特肌肉秀。无言……

………………………………………………………………………………

其实Chiling有两个瀑布，呵呵。可是第二个没什么人去，而且上去的路比较难行。但一切都值得（真的要去！）

往第二瀑布的路上……跌下去真的会死人。

………………………………………………………………………………

最后合照，都累了。

本来要看Selangor Dam，可惜关门，连拍照片都不给，所以无奈的在门前拍一张就算。

潇洒地离开

Result !!

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:15:00 +0000

I was extremely disappointed with my result when checking through the webpage. The worst result ever received in my ACCA life.

How could my F9 scored 50 marks only? Other than the remaining 3 papers, I have serious doubt on the reliability of F9 marks. Adding up 50 marks to the average marks, I got 58 (after rounding up) which means an A is must to get Upper Second Degree. B and C would give me Lower Second Degree.

Shocked, Depressed, Disappointment...and no other better words to describe further.

Current plan, do last 4 papers and degree in 1 go for this December sitting.

………………………………………………………………………………

一年又过了，得再更新驾车牌照。

昨天去更新驾车牌照。政府好像在七月推出新的牌照，不再像是以前一张纸似的，而是像身份证有点厚。

可是多谢这个新的系统，牌照不能在邮局更新。JPJ还没开门，就有一条很长的队排在门外。足足等了3个小时才办完。

还好，今天带弟去JPJ没什么多人，不到30分钟就办完。
可能只是今天特别少人或者是我非常不幸。

Bon Odori 2013

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:17:00 +0000

I have not update my blog awhile. Well, was busy doing with course and events.

First, it was the 37th Bon Odori 2013!
I went with my friends and cousin by taking LRT, KTM & Shutter bus. First thing I need to say is the KTM has a very nice and better train compared to previous! Way better.

On that day, I was having my first day tuition class as a teacher (Further reading at second). Too bad, couldn't control the timing. Therefore class ended late and reached there late, on time actually(6.55pm). Just on time for the Opening performance.

Haha, but we went to buy dinner straight and didn't bother for the performance. Satisfaction of my stomach was the main priority! The prices for foods were as usual, one word to describe...EXPENSIVE.

Overall, nice event to attend. The fireworks were awesome. The longest, the most beautiful fireworks I ever seen in my life. I really should get a DSLR camera, will be going again next year but with camera. \ (•◡•) /

Credited to Jackson Hor

Second, I got a message last month from my cousin. It was regarding about asking me to provide tuition for Mathematics. I wanted to provide home tuition long time, mainly because of getting additional source of income, so I accepted it with pleasure.

Well, today was already the 3rd class. I know it is sort of intensive learning and revision class since there is only 4 months left to SPM, but I believe he can score A under my teaching! hahaha (─‿‿─)

As a SCKL Volunteer 2013

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:47:00 +0000

No regret after joining as a volunteer for SCKL! Although it was tiring and got myself wore out on all 3 days.

Now I have known a few new friends that interested in marathon, do not have to go marathon alone next time. Before this, my friends were like "Why joining a run that not FOC". (¬_¬)

Oh ya, I have noticed something. Those people who usually seem so energetic and "semangat" on first day, are those who usually missing on following days. Ironically, Those who stay for all 3 days are those people that keep saying tired all days long. (haha)

But, honest speaking, event is really exhausting especially if the task requiring running here and there. I thought I would met back friends met on first day. 3 closer friends as worked in same station together were absent on following days. (¬_¬)

Everyone else was keep asking " where is JK and Chong?". Kavee was missing too.

Anyway, happy to join! Now I am even considering to join as volunteer for event day.

Maybe.. haha ( it depends...lazy I guess)

4 Papers Again in KDU

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:00:00 +0000

This was the 3rd times that I took my ACCA exam in KDU and it should be the second last to ACCA examination. If every goes well, this year will be my final year in ACCA.

I still remember when I just started my ACCA as CAT student (currently known as FIA), Max Yong said "ACCA stands for 'Always Come & Come Again'" Time flies huh. It really does fly by in a blink of an eye.

Let's talk about this sitting, It would be best describe as the first sitting that I had the confident in completing all four papers! Fingers cross, and hope I will pass all four of them.

目标

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 03:03:00 +0000

用3张政府给的书卷买了几本书（大多数都用在老妈所要的书，中医书(¬_¬) ）。

其中的三本是高木直子的作品。

再度读了高木直子的《一個人漂泊的日子 2》。

突然间，觉得我好像白活了19年，毫无目标地生活在Petaling Jaya。至少要有个主要目标，现在所读的专业文凭，以及未来有可能就职领域，不会是我要的目标。

唉～现在只能说一定要把韩语和日语学好，考完ACCA的最后6张考卷。

想一想，我也想要有个自己的作品。音乐没有天分，也不会画图，我想只剩“写”还有一线微弱的希望吧。

就已这为目标。在24岁前，能成功出版一本小说！

STPM result

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:55:00 +0000

Well, I have just gotten my STPM result after noon today, online though. The webpage was a little lagging, Why wouldn't them provide an option for private candidates to collect from exam center?

So fair for Pengajian Am and of course Mathematics S, Because I did not sit for the exam papers. Done only one paper out of 2 for Perakaunan and got C is great! Yes yes! But..F for Pengajian Perniagaan? Definitely did not expect that. Someone told me to send for appeal, Should I or Should not?

Overall is not bad. Since I did not study at all, not even attend form 6 or any classes. Yet was doing same time as my ACCA 4 papers. Crazy uh (haha).

Now I have a Pre-U Qualification. (hehe) but I doubt it does add any credit with this result. Not a single University would accept it for Degree Program.

Ah Boys to Men

梁智强导演的新一部电影！《新兵正传》，Ah Boys to Men。

多谢星洲日报。得了4张首映票卷，能在大马上映的前两天，去看Part 2。

不错的一部戏，搞笑又轻松。能给一种青春，还有“那些年”的感觉。可惜我觉得“色情”玩笑有点过火了，不是很适合给小孩看。

戏中 Part1 和 Part2 ，各有一首由 Tosh Zhang 张智杨写词、作曲，以及演唱。我觉得很好听，尤其是Rap 的部分！

Another Result day. Passed 3 out of 4 papers.

Arh! Now I have to score 97 marks in F9 to get 1st Class Degree. ACCA is just so tough and Now I have lost my mood for CNY.

Sigh, Aim to get at least 2nd Upper class Degree.

Current plan, thinking of taking F9, P1-3. 4 papers again. H'mm Have feeling will regret soon in coming 4 months later.

D'scover

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:57:00 +0000

Since ever after watching Family Outing, I like his voice. Finally, a new solo album - "D'scover", Japanese Solo Album. I would hope and prefer for Korean Solo Album. Anyhow still happy for it, but the fly in the ointment is that this is just a cover album for few famous Japanese songs except for "Wings" and "Baby Don't Cry". He should have his own songs.

Love his voice in "Tonight is Boogie Back / by Ozawa Kenji"

The 1st M/V ! It is nice, hoping to see full version and "Wings".

Toughest Moment [2012]

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:24:00 +0000

终于考完试了！

今年，2012的下半年，可真是最艰难的半年。很多人说考ACCA不容易，3张已是极限，拿4张是自杀的行为。我竟然去报考4张ACCA，4科STPM！

今天就是重获自由之身的日子！精神上已经累垮了，好多天没得到足够的睡眠。

这次，我真的有点失望，ACCA两张好两张表现不好。不期望很好的成绩，希望能及格就好！

STPM，4个科目中，一张没去考，其余3张应该也能考及格！哈哈，我是最后一分钟前读书，没曾上过课，没翻开课本复习。如果能及格的话，真是个奇迹。

我就拭目以待，等成绩吧！

Chiling Waterfall

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:17:00 +0000

Chiling Waterfall
3rd November 2012 (Saturday)

Another Waterfall. In past, I had always listened many good comments about this waterfall as the best in Selangor! Indeed it is challenging. If a first timer there and does not inquire for direction at registration, a person would definitely lose his direction.

Actually, this was a sudden plan of outing for a friend before leaving to Germany, but he had his flight few days before this outing. So just 4 of us, and thank Brandon so much for providing the transport.

We departed from my house (PJ). We took the road to Rawang, and then to Kuala Kubu Baru. The whole journey was about 1 hour, and it is easy way as most of the way were straight road all the way after Rawang.

From the road to the actual entrance, will take less than 10 minutes walk (not too sure). Went straight to register. Apparently, people can get lost in this area, it is required to register and write check-in time and check-out when leaving. There is registration fee of RM1 per person.

Let me give you an advice. At the very start after entering on track to waterfall, TAKE LEFT when reach to a split. Take right and will get lost in the Jungle, said by the person in registration counter.

The 1st waterfall. It took us around 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the 1st waterfall.

It is option to go for 2nd Waterfall but it is a tough road, really have to be cautious and beware of your steps.

On the way to 2nd Waterfall.

2nd Waterfall

We are really thankful to the "guai lou" that helped us and his group of friends(colleagues) too, or we could really get lost (not really but maybe taking the wrong way that takes longer time). Such nice people they are, giving us food, showing us the way.

The "guai lou"

Selangor Dam

We were praying so hard for the day not to rain (It was raining everyday in Selangor that period of time), grateful that it rained right after we left!

It is a really good place to go, recommended place to unwind and escape from hectic city for relaxing weekend. =P

Caring Others' Thought Of Me

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:51:00 +0000

There is always one that I would like to overcome, ie. get rid of the attitude "over care others' thought of me".

Personally, Whenever in any group or facing a person, I tend to concern what she thinks of me. Subsequently, I will try to say something and act into one that interest her. It turns to be unusual me, and fatigue with after long period of concerning. Tiredness is the state after socializing, and I am getting like the feeling of being alone, sitting quietly, relaxing my mind.

有时候，我就是过度在意人家对我的看法。

BIGBANG Alive Tour 2012

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:11:00 +0000

自从看了《Family Outing》，我认识了大聲。个人觉得他的为人很友善，开朗，勇于追求梦想不放弃，而且声音很好听，可能就是喜欢并希望能和他类似的人做朋友。

巧合的是10月27号，BigBang来马来西亚举办演唱会，而当天我也在KL有F7的课，所以打算去看一看。顺便听一下BigBang现场版的歌声。

VIPs真的不是简单的粉丝！晚上8开始的演唱会，竟然当天下午1点时已是人山人海。一大早就开始排队，就只是为了得到好位子？可能我应该去参加一次，体验演唱会的感觉……

报章还写，最早到Stadium来排队的是东马的VIPs，前一天早上10点就到。（应该没错）

没有买到入门票，只能在馆外听歌。第一次站在高处，就是为了看体育馆内的表演！此时是Daesung演唱“Wings”。（银幕上能看到他唱歌，可惜照片不清）

第二天，跟昨天相比简直是天地之差，体育馆周围渺无人迹，很宁静，无法相信此时的昨天有多热闹。唉～

FO RM

noreply@blogger.com (EdwardTan) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:12:00 +0000

不知不觉，突然间迷上了韩国综艺节目！尤其是《Family Outing》（家族的誕生）和《Running Man》

其实，曾经在外婆家偶然下看了一集《Running Man》，但是已经觉得很有趣，不过那时不知节目名称，回家后就没追看了。某天，从朋友得知RM，回家立刻追看！

起初，一直只看RM，但后来知道劉在石的前一部综艺节目，FO。“国民MC”，这称号他当之无愧！

李天熙，尹鍾信，劉在石，李孝利，金秀路，朴藝珍，第一集嘉宾，大聲

还有不在图片上的家族成员：金鐘國，朴海鎮，朴詩妍

其实我很羡慕家族成员，能一起生活、玩游戏、做杂物、准备晚餐。能够和朋友成为家人，一起生活不容易啊。

最喜欢的是「呆瓜兄弟」！留意了大聲，其实我觉得他的声音很不错，可惜我发现他只有很少的个人作品，就连个个人MV都没有。

李光洙，宋智孝，劉在石，宋仲基，Gary ，池石鎮，Lizzy ，金鍾國，Haha

RM 的特点就是在著名地标进行游戏，最后输的那一对成员必须受惩罚。已经中Running Man毒了，Fighting！呵呵

这节目是我所看过的最好综艺节目，但是唯一美中不足的是宋仲基和Lizzy已离开节目。多希望他们能归队，再次看到完整的Running Man。

×希望能有个RM特辑——Running Man Vs. Family Outing
