Who is cheaper? The winner is...

Well, at the first sight, you might not know what I want to say. Yap, once again; it's all about air travel. Air Asia launched another round of free tickets, just pay for taxes. I go and have a look (for fun only). It's really cheap, just that the travel periods are too far ahead; not easy for the public to plan so early.
For instance, Miri return tickets to Kuala Lumpur would just cost MYR 640 for a family of 4 or MYR 163 for an individual (of course not included another optional fees yet). Any way, this is still far cheaper than our national carrier during the 1st phase of promotion. Really feeling like wish to go out to travel for another time just because of cheap air fare. But then is not just that. still many thing need to be settled. hahaha...
As for fares bound to Kota Kinabalu this December, there's really a big gap. Maswings' fares would cost MYR 482 per person per return trip while Air Asia only cost MYR 184, which is a difference of MYR 298. Take it as 2 return ticket, the price would be more than enough to buy 6 return tickets under Air Asia's current promotion to bound for the capital. But then the difference is just ATR 72 is confirmed to service that route by then (Plane will be here very soon). Dont know what to choose from, economic wise Air Asia will definitely outrun the other, but having new plane to try for, the expensive one may be the option (really expensive, hai!)
Any way, still far ahead yet. Exams count down will start soon.
Bye for now! Haha!

The pressure builds...

I know, perhaps I don't "qualified" to say this as my course is half a year more than other people. But it's really not an easy task to do international qualification. With 6 papers out of 9 being accomplished over the past year, the remaining 3 more papers are quite challenging.
Paper 7 builds more knowledge on costing, which means more calculations; more costing principles. Paper 5 is the damn management stuffs! And the Paper 10, all the way until yesterday we are using the very first version of textbook; but the college announced that new textbook is more applicable as MORE things are in it although the syllabus remains the same. With this, all the work need to "restart" to a certain extent again! This is damn NOT nice! But since this is the fact already, just read whatever thing that had been added & my own notes need to be "re-haul" again! What to do...
Anyway, as the syllabus it self is meant to be to be equivalent as a 1st year degree course in Financing related course, this is the facts that need to be appreciated. 9 papers would have teach you a lot, what more to say with ACCA Skills & Professional modules!
However, that's still far apart yet. With time evolving so fast, there's left about 3months ++ fpr preparation towards December examination sittings. And seriously this 3papers are the toughest compared to earlier ones. Just hoping that with dedication, I managed to "finish" these things in the upcoming exams (Pass la!).
I guess that's all. Bye for now!

Out now!

Yeah! Finally the results are out! And thank god, NO need to resit any papers! All 3 papers enrolled had been secured! Paper 4: Accounting For Costs, 6 marks more than the pass margin; Paper 6: Drafting Financial Statement (INT), 8 marks more than pass margin & Paper 9: Preparing Taxation Computation, 7 marks more than pass margin.
I know that this is just "marginal pass", but somehow can happy also as you no need to pay for 35-40 pound sterling per paper anymore. Just need to work harder and harder if wish to pursue Professional Qualification later. It would be 50% to pass for all ACCA papers! really need to think carefully.
Now, with this results out would mean that for this final semester; I would had 3 more papers to go + 1 additional options (can do or dont do)! Another 120 pound sterling. Just need to wait for the result slips to reach my home address! Hope that it CAN & MUST reach my home. Or else I need to use another method to enroll for my exams in December 2008!
Bye for now!

杂绘(二)

1. 进入八月分, 马航的“每日超底价”活动似乎越来越“没诚意”. 除了促销的幅度“缩水”外, 连廉价机位的“配额”也越来越少. 虽然之前我曾说过它部分“老飞机”的舱压的确有点“不舒服”, 但这年头能有多一个的廉价选择总是比较好的.
2. 京奥的最后一场羽毛球决赛, 神州一哥对垒大马天王; 在种种的因素左右之下, 终就还是不敌“超级丹”的“神功”, 只能屈居第二. 说实在, 这等的比赛在40分钟内就终结; 有点“没意思”!
3. 前些天看我以前的同学的博客, 看到他(她)们办了一场“同学会”[会用引号是因为只有几个人,不是一票人.] 看起来大伙的感情似乎还不错. 但真正令我错愕的是居然有一位女生已经结婚了.(颇为标志的女生,真的是漂亮的就是“当红炸子鸡”.) 说实在,在这个晚婚或不婚盛行的年代;的确有点太早的感觉.
不过, 看起来她婚后“状况”似乎还不错 (纯粹从面相来看,哈哈). 那位博客这样道(大概): 记得多多保养, 免得太早变黄脸婆. 还要记得与姐妹们多多联络, 不要有了异性; 没了姐妹. [批: 不愧是女生们的经典台词!]
4. 我国308之后的“第一场人为补选”即将在26日揭晓, 这场攸关反对党的“生死之战”; 谁主皇朝, 就等民众的裁决了.
5. 台湾前总统陈水扁的贪污丑闻案再添一笔. 这回要不是八卦周刊的爆料和瑞士政府的一封司法互助公文, 再加上他本人的证实; 或许“全球”的人还是只能雾里看花吧! 就看在当地的庞大舆论的压力之下及媒体的紧追不放, 看看最终的结果是什么!
Bye Bye!
(PS: June session results will be out later at around 4pm later, let’s hope that all is fine. Hehe!)

CBE Done! Waiting for June results...

Now,just backed from my CBE exams. I had managed to score 80%,yeah! Thanks to additional books of BPP & Kaplan Exams kits. With only the very old Kaplan Texts, it is HARD to score this high! About 10 questions are not available from that oldies text! Anyway, more boooks more chances to success. The college finally had announced that it is going to use new edition of those books for new students and for those old students; they stand a chance to choose whether to buy or not to buy. Let's see how it goes...

Bye bye.

TV back to live again...

Thanks to my uncle for teaching me to make the TV to "resume", my satellite dish now can resume normal viewing as at the initial installation stage without spending a single cent. All "disappeared" channels now backed to normal. More TV, More choices. Hahaha!

BYE BYE!

Yes, after 2 days of hair wire in the broadband service; it finally get to the normal again! Damn! Such services also can called broadband. This is the 2nd time since my family had broadband service backed in March this year!
Anyway, forget about that. At least I can do my online exams practice NOW!
Bye bye!
