Exhausted...well... i know i haven been blogging for vvvvvv long... well, please forgive me.. i'm really super busy over these few weeks... just a quick recap of what happened over last few weeks in my life... got major and minor events that occurred....seen my last post is on 10 Sept 07.. so shall continue from there...11 Sept 07nothing special but work and work.. as I am going on leave during the next 3 days.. gonna rush out some of the consol reports for my colleague to continue on... so worked late that nite... reach hm - exhausted...and another thing that happened was... my hubby's grandfather passed away that morning.. really heartpain.. well afterall i do understand that this is part and parcel of life, bt still feel v sad..12 - 14 Sept 07went for first 3 days of the 5 days CPA pre-entry course.. quite stress actually.. as now the passing criteria is v different from the past.. initially, as long as you attend the course, you can apply for CPA with relevant yrs of experience.. then changed to attend course + take test despite fail or pass also can apply with exp, then changed to overall passing of 50% with exp and NOW - must pass every module with exp, then you can apply...PS: For those who are taking ACCA, studying NTU, NUS etc on Accountancy, remember to go attend for the course ASAP after you have passed your exams.. as the criteria of passing and topics covered are getter tougher and tougher.. the earlier u sit for the test, the higher chance of passing..although is just 125 multiple qns on 5 modules - 1) professional ethics 2) FRS 3) Auditing 4) legal requirement 5) Taxation... i can tell you - is not that simple afterall... in case some of you dun get it - CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant and FRS stands for Financial Reporting Standards.. These are the usual accounting terms...attending the class is not easy matter.. you hav to talk with others.. chit chatting with them abt yourself (yr experience), your company, exchanging namecard and soliciting business if possible.. and cannot sound too stupid of yrself too.. means hav to keep up with all current affairs, business developments... 1 words to describe this - STRESS...and there are alot of things that are expected from a CPA.. well, afterall tat's y this is worth my effort of striving hard to get this... 15 - 16 Sept 2007went to the wake of my hubby's late's grandfather on these both days... my heart really feel bitterly-sour... he really cares abt us alot and hope to attend our rom on this nov.. bt really sad that he cannot attend.. he even prepare a rom gift for us and passed to his uncle to pass to us as he scare that he may not be able to make it... really sad that he left us... Rest in peace, ah gong..17 - 18 Sept 2007went back to office and been buried by the work...19 Sept 2007On study leave for 1 day as I did not study any subject during the weekend...20-21 Sept 2007Went for the remaining 2 days of course and sat for the exam on friday... 1½hour paper for 125 questions.. hopefully i can make it although i have zero confidence in it.. oh dear.. pray hard for me please...... gonna wait for 6-8 weeks for the results..22 Sept 2007went to MS.. wanna get our rings to be engraved.. however, the person who is good in engraving in not in.. wasted trip.. gonna return another day instead...23 Sept 2007went for facial in the morning.. then meet hubby to Taka to try on some suits... we realised that the men's dept is under renovation when we reached there.. is only half of the dept is open.. and there is only 1 brand of suit is available which costs abt 450 bucks for the whole suit... i forgotten the brand but is a Paris brand and i remember seeing it around... is abit off our budget.. bt is really nice.. esp on 1 navy strip suits... v nice indeed.. so we kiv 1st.. will return on 6 Oct where the other half of the mens dept opens and will try on more suits.. then we went to Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel to meet our Event Coordinator - Sheena Tan... she 's really a nice lady.. afterall, my hubby bargained alot with her and she is still trying v hard to comprise.. haha... we confirmed on the menu, placed deposit and signed off the contract.. most prob we will be increasing our guest list from 50 to 70... in order to do so, our buffet line may have to put outside of the rooms.. as it wil be too cramp to squeeze in everything.. meaning - our rom solemnization ceremony will be held at 1 room with theatre sittings and the circle tables will be set up on another room beside that.. and the buffet line will be outside.. bt these rooms are all at the corners.. means the whole section is reserved for our private function.. :)Sheena let us choose on the table setting.. after choosing.. we have chosen (should say I have chosen, as hubby just say - anything lah) this one -
is not really clear in the pic.. bt is a bronze translucent flower setting.. it will be lay over ivory table cloth.. as most likely we will be upgrading the florist package with June Florist where they are the ones engaged by Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel to provide the centrepiece... also depends on how much it costs.. we may add slash to theatre sittings with flower on it..the next thing is to meet the florist... gonna make an appointment with them to choose colours of flowers to match with the setting also.. :)
