Your lil poochiness and u…

Hello people… no i didnt mean poochi as in insect… but pooch… as in ur pet dog. Yaps…. most will know by now that i own a 6 and a half yr old sheltie. My experiece as his owner… perfecto. Very suitable for my family’s profile.

Shelties (Shetland Sheepdog)

Known to be intensely loyal and affectionate. Very intelligent too ranking 6th out of the 132 breeds. The combi of these traits make them constantly keen to please their masters… hence so easily trainable… One thing i learned about them is since they are generally a timid and shy bunch… only positive reinforcement works with them. Many have asked me if i sent mine to an obedience school. Answer: no. WE all very budget la… no school all… purely reading up online and books…  We rather spend the $$ on his treats and fur care products. Shetlands are champion breeds whom are also used as show dogs … their light and agile movements paired along with their cheery manner is a lovable sight. They are very well known for the posh and poise …due to the long silky lustrous coat. Very beautiful… but super high maintenance people… Constant shedding, daily combing., 2 hr worth of showering and grooming everyweek, having strands of his fur all over ur life… haha! hell lots of inconveniences, but …  i swear its worth it… wen u see those adoring eyes looking at u… wen they spin in joy at your return even tho u were away for an hr… wen he responds wit joy to ur every call …. u cldnt ask for more.

I personally dont believe in sending your pets for obiedience classes or outsource your pet showers in the name of grooming… Very convenient and easy to handle your pet. BUT! you are depriving you and ur companion of the opportunity to enhance your relationship with each other. The time spent playing, caring, feeding, cleaning and traning… all builds the bond between the you and your pet. It is my firm believe that.. if you dont have the time or attitude to commit to all these activities… you cant have a pet. YOu’re probably better off with a hamster or sth… crude way of putting it but… if u want a interactive champion… you have to be the interactive master…

Now for sth more up close an personal with Azzy… Azzy’s results for CFA will be released this wednesday… *keeps fingers crossed*. School’s started… ACCA classes are quite the panic rush … Quite beyond my comfort zone… I’ve nvr been panic this early into the sem… but ya… if i panic means i have a real good reason to be so… considering the slacker i am. Things have turn a huge positive turn lately… I see a very positive front to all of the shit… altho a lil late… better late than nvr! I’m loving life all over again … so much so … i almost forgot how dark it was… Nice!

missed me?

not. i no la. yidiots.but complaining oni … about how boring my blog has been lately. Typical sgreans… cynics always on their asses… sadly… a handful of them happen to b my loved ones… at this point.. i am happy to declare my immunity to such behavioural tendencies thanks to my “oorukaari” traits.

Ok soooooo i am sooooooper lost at wat to blog about. For one my keyboard seems to be makkerfyings in a strange way. SEcondly i have loads to revise on… and i am super hungry. … and i finished watching my season 1 fringe series…

oh ya! fringe….

It is a Must MUST MUST watch! For those of you into thriller, sci fi, CSI, heroes kinda stuff… This is fer u!Oh and… Warning: Not for the faint hearted.. for there are a no. of gory scenes. Its a series of various cases for each episode but behind all of these episodes is the unwinding of strings of  long intertwined pasts of many secrets and agendas.  Very interesting yet easy to follow… My particular favourite is walter… a crazy scientist… X fringe science researcher for the govt. I think its as good as heroes first series… or better. Check the trailer out..

I think Dunham is quite the looker too. I like the attitude. yeaps.

Ok thats it for now. My dinner’s here…Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, food first.  But just want to end off wit a random note.

Its a small world after all… lolz!

Its holiday season! :D

Yes people… i went on a holiday. I was too overjoyed about the end of my tumultuous days of CFA revision that i ran away to india w/o a word or rhyme. SOrry to all the Larlinz! I no i didnt inform the exact departure…  teehee.

Ok one by one…

How was CFA?

Crazy. I bet i survived it thanks to the red bull(tho dad didnt like the idea of it. Hell i couldnt sleep la) . Super high security – felt like prisoners actually. The first paper… was.. good. Most of wat i covered turned up. I liked it.. but that only meant an aapu was on the way for the 2nd paper.  So the 2 hrbreak commenced and i discovered my friendly face. We went for a bite.. and tried to salvage some of the memory loss. And we were soooo right. 2nd paper was a killer. I was already considering the chances of failing. Ironically that calmed me down. So i did wat i can and took my leave hoping that i either pass thanks to the many slackers out there… or i fail w/o being disturbed much by the Narayana Thandavams..End of it all… I said to hell with it… and think about my trip.

Now for India.

I was very very anxious about. Havent been there for three years.. not to mention i was alone with dad.. all that travelling for biz  and all. Nervous. But it turned out pretty well… dad was rather pleased as well.. A few reservations… and topped up fears. Nothing’ s perfect right?

Post india Trip

Life’s a draaaaaaaag at home now. No school.. no humans at home… just fon calls and msgs.. and the family at night fall. boo. I feel a lil handicap without CFA… so much so .. i wldnt mind doin it all over again. Sounds crazy… Part of me wants to pass so that i have the joy of accomplishment… but i wouldnt mind if i failed… i no i will definitely nail it this time. I also enrolled for ACCA.. I know i am asking for a killer combi if its gg to be along with the CFA… but hell i dont care. i know i can if i have to.

So its another 1.5 weeks before the busy season starts to kick off..  One more year baby and everything is behind me. Much will be missed… Much will be forgotton… A few will be ridden of.  ITs definitely going to be a rough yr. But No regrets. Cos there are loads more in store!

So much Mojo! wen i least need it… oh how i love myself!

an underated song i like..

authentic… and kalairani .. i love the way she dances and holds herself (not to mention her curls:p) in this video. my potential all time fav i’d say.

You make me wana..

Have you had someone walk by you and they smell like u wana hug ‘em? lolz! And wat of those that make u curse and and sneeze even after they left the scene already?

I was walking to a provision shop in the morning to get bread… I was still a lil groggy… and there was a lady who rushed past me .. to work i think. She had this tangy pepperish smell to her perfume …One whiff…and i cloudnt stop the sneezing.

No doubt i use perfumes too… i’m a more eau de toilette person. Cos i like it light. Heavy ones make my head spin and feel grumpy. Boils down to the concentration of the perfume.There are a few types of perfumes which vary in their concentrations. From the high concentration to the least:

• Perfume: also known as extractor or extrait perfume includes 15 – 40% perfume concentration. Apparently the purest form of perfume and also the most X.
• Eau de Parfum: Concentration’s about 7-15%. The most commonly sold commercially hence affordability is there. When sprayed on, it can last long.
• Eau de Toilette: This is my personal favourite. Has a concentration of 1-6%. So its light… known to linger ard you but not leave an impression behind the way those mentioned above do. The original intention for this perfume is to freshen/wake u up.
• Eau de Cologne: Sometimes also known as Eau de Toilette. However there is a diff between the two. Being,  the addition of citrus oils… (that answers the tangy pepperish thingy that makes me sneeze). So if u wana be my BF… forget abt ur fav Eau de Cologne. :p

And then there is the choice of fragrant… floral.. or fruity.. or tangy.. or masculine.. (etc… i am not an expert in it to list all of ‘em).The thing about fruity..Is like being so crazy about a guy and to eventually get bored of him when he’s finally urs(hehe! sorry abt the evil GF example). I kinda learned that thru getting a strawberry aroma oil.. i always loved it whenever I had a single passerby whiff.. and then when i had it to myself… i dont use it much.Floral’s tolerable provided its not strong.. My friend bought this random organic perfume from US.. from bathandbodyworks… “velvet tuberose” random name… but my unfortunate fav… cos i am definitely not gona get it again.

I think perfumes are very personal stuff. It totally reflects ur taste, style and personality. For me, I like sth floral, sweet with a touch of sophistication. I also think buying perfumes is a pesonal gift… so u have to be reaaallly close to that person at the least to be buying him or her one.

Ok enough of this random post. I shld be running off to buy a new bag to replace my torn one. i’m such a pichehkaari. pft.

Next on… sad stories of our yg accountants here…

hm… :)

post Mock updates

Yes!!! finally my very first 6 hr ordeal was over… i really dono wats worse… 8hrs worth of painstaking tattooing or 6 hrs of wrecking ur brain… Too bad my oni friendly face had to be in the other room… But the atmosphere wasnt too hostile… I still cld sms while doing the test… lolz!

So here’s how it functions.. The 6 hrs worth of CFA Level 1 Paper was split into 2 papers… each lasting as long as 3 hrs with an hr break in between. In the test, we’re testing all the topics at once. The relieving part is… They split the Qs up according to the various areas. E.g first 18 Qs were Ethics and the nxt 14 were Quatitative Analysis etc.The first paper started at 10, wasnt as bad as i thought till i reached the portfolio management realm. I was so disappointed to realized that most of the formulaes slipped my mind… and the the theory stuff i was so worried abt came thru like an innate thing. So i resorted to just multiplying and adding as per my fancy… and picking the closest option for the calculative ones… lolz! surprisingly… lady luck was one my side…. Only for the paper that is.. haiz. Anyways!!! I was done with the paper a lil b4 3 hrs… so i realized time was not a challenge at all… It was just about the answers… Stamina still seemed a lil intact too. I was liking it. So My friendly face and I went to subway grabbed a bite while bitchin abt the paper and wats yet to come. Thereafter, moved our reluctant hinds back to the venue. Ok so the 2nd paper was hell gates… Within the first 20 Qs already i was loosing it. My brain was screeching!! “HELL ITS JUST A MOCK! DUMP IT!” Exhausting… and my morale was running low cos the whacking answer frequency hiked! but i had to push it.. its now or never… and I dragged myself thru the paper… took my own sweet time.. and i finished the bloody marathon 15 min b4 time and took my leave at the soonest. How was it? Obvious right? lolz!

On the whole, it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. Actually, theory Qs are a give away. They are  pretty ok if u know your stuff. Calculations can be tricky cos the question can go extremes its either u remember or u dont pft.(seems like there is a clear diff between knowing and remembering damn!!). Time was never an issue. However, Stamina is a serious problem. I also noticed that the first paper’s got a trend of being a tad bit easier than the 2nd. So I decided to Harvest while i can… Nail the first paper and do wat i can for the 2nd. Its not a far fetched thing to pass.BUT!! I definitely got loads to work on… it can be done. I’m pretty satisfied with how this thing turned out..

Wat followed wasn’t pleasing… so i head home…And i was greeted by pleasant faces and beautiful conversations … but sth still bugged me. Wat ever it is… I’m sure it will get better. Or so i hope.

Sunshine!! :D

I’ve had my happy pill for the day aft like eons!!!

Remember and trust me wen i say… u’re that lil strip of rainbow in my world. SO KEEP THAT SMILE UP!!

spare me…

Its a saturday… exactly a week b4 the mock. My revision status… *blank*. Every night i sleep with a promise that tmr morning Mr Mojo will be back. Unfortunately, he is as always a disappointment.

All of us at home… are not really up to our best… flu, revision and all..Dad had to absolutely choose today of all days to invite 15 guests for dinner. Cooking for them is a freakshow!! We feel like a kid anticipating a report card at this point. damn damn damn! i am totally not up for guest-sitting tonight. NO WAY! *point* nvr marry a guy who has a habit of inviting people over w/o warning.

I woke up with a particular scene in my head. Probably one of my worst fears. It was a boy. Perhaps 8 yrs old wearing uniform. White and Blue.. Undone buttons.. shorts crumpled and with signs of mud… bag badly in need of replacement… hanging loosely over his shoulders. He was walking back from sch… reaching his block… White and one boring dirty green stripe across the block… Towards a dumpster… Not a single living thing ard… but it didnt matter… he swung himself up the stairwell… a really dirty one.. with loads of vulgar writings and spittles … he didnt notice it at all for he was busy humming his favourite tune and fiddling his pocket for his keys. Walked down the corridor and reach a long old gate.. biege coloured and paint peeling off… he twisted the keys and it opened… Everything was dark.. noone was home. One table and one chair.. with one silver plate.. all empty.  The darkness embraced him… and even though his innards cringed… he kept his face straight…. it was the only thing he called home. Or so he was told. *blink*

I woke up. I didnt want to…

but i didnt dare go back to sleep either.

Love’s overated.. and friendship’s underated

Ok so i am officially 23 now… not the best of no.s to fancy … haha! the no. 23 has alot of.. hm… haha!  Birthday came… and passed like it was nothing much… The only significant part to it is the morning walks with jacky n his new fan. I always thought that my walks with jacky was my ME time… and under other circumstances i’d be pissed if anyone tried to intrude. But an old friend simply made his presence w/o even asking… like he was meant to be ard! haha… TRuth is… really… it generally kicks off my day rather well… to see jacky enjoying his co. a joy!

An unlikely acquaintance bloomed despite the awkwardness.

Over the week… I’ve been thinking… more like dealing with… not really dilemma… but.. just searching the line…

between friendship and watever more… or watever else… It a relieving to know… what exactly u want to be to a person the moment u hang out with him/her… be it right or wrong… its never grey like it used to be… part of the growing up process i think. or maybe its cos.. i have other plans..

Which reminds me… My day of judgement is nearing.. the CFA exam… if i fail… i’d probably be one of those dried meat for sale by jan.  Seriously… as the day passes … i feel like i might just bunk it… and sometimes i might just scrap thru..but definitely not flying colours…  The more i study the more depressed i get… the more i Qn the reason for this whole thing…. Its getting tougher by the minute … to remind myself… of the sequence as to how this HAS TO WORK!

Then i realize…  wat i do now… may just not be enough and *poof* everything reels out of grasp… there goes my life… my sleep. I’d be dead beat tired… and desperate to be left alone…. and  squeeze my eyes shut away from everything… only to be disturbed by the loudest of noises… my very own fluttering heart. bitch. What do i wake up to at this rate? a wet face creased with all the curses i mumble under my breath and the sounds of oblivion in the hall … I paste a freaking smile… bid the goodbyes and i’m back to sqaure one… to fend against the rest of the empty day.

So dont blame me when i tell… how the stupidest of things make my day. Somthing’s running out… watever it is… i need it.

 

The will to live.
