SIM Makan

I went for a makan session with my SIM kakis yesterday at the Mad Jack Cafe at PoMo Centre (formerly known as Paradiz Centre). The funny thing is that I'm the only 1 who ordered steak but the rest all ordered fish leh, wonder why. Is that a new outbreak of mad cow disease (MCD) that I'm not aware of? If any of you see me next week in the street mooing away and shaking my head, you know I'm down with MCD liao. Remember to send me go hospital hor, don't allow me to "moo" my life away.

WhiteSands Day

Inspiration hits, so here I am blogging again. LOL. Nothing happens much from my last entry till this. Just the same routine everyday, kind of sian of it liao. I met up if Sushi-san last Thursday. Normally our catch-up sessions only happens like once every 3-4 weeks, this time though I was a bit surprised when she asked me to meet-up as we had just met-up the week before. Anyway, we met-up and went to Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room at WhiteSands lor. I normally don't do this but I'll strongly discourage you from visiting that cafe lor. The service we had that day was terrible and the food portion was extremely "rationed". They serve us our food but totally forgotten about our drinks. When we enquired with the waitress, she pretended to be surprised and said "They haven't serve you your drinks yet? I'll go checked with them." Damn lame lor! She's the only server and waitress there, what do she means "they". There only 4 tables that were occupied that time. How difficult was it to remember which table's order had been served or not. Best part was I was sitting facing their beverage preparation counter, I saw the two staffs there chit-chatting with both hands free. This means that they have forgotten about our drinks order liao lor. It can't be that they were using other limbs to prepare the drinks while they were talking with their hands free. If that's true, I seriously have doubts over the hygiene of the drinks that was served to us. Must go for stomach pump sia!

Other than the awful service and food we received, our time were quite well-spend bitching lor. Sushi-san was so "enthusiastic" bitching about her sisters when suddenly she spotted 1 of her sis about 20 metres away walking towards us. LOL. I have never seen such "rapid" expression change on her lor. Classic sia! Should have video-ed it down to blackmail her. Wasted lah, too slow.

Sighing a Relief After a Busy April

Yo people! Sorry for not updating my blog since 1st April. Damn busy leh the month of April. Project due during the 1st 2 weeks of April. Then must help my tuition kids prepare for their exams in late April and early May. On top of that, my own SIM exams also around the same period so I must also "pretend to be studious" mah. Today I just finished my last paper. Can finally slag for a while lor, though my kids' exams only finished next week.

Today I sat for that tax paper that I flunked last semester lor. Not good feeling after I finished leh. I can't complete leh. The stupid partnership question too many details to explain liao took me almost 2 1/2 hrs out of 3 hours to do leh, so out of 4 questions, I only managed to answer 2 1/2 qns. Die lah. Worst part is I explain 1/2 way then realise I forgot to include calculate 1 of capital allowance (CA) for 1 of the asset, so last minute calculate the CA but I never put in the new figures cuz, if I put in, I'll need to change many of the related figures. No time to do recalculate for them liao. Now I just pray I can heng-heng scrap thru, I happy liao.

The organisational behaviour paper still not too bad loh. Only answered 6 out of the required 8 questions but should be able to b/s my way to a passing mark lor.

The financial planning paper I managed to answered 4 out of the required 5 qns lor. The last question is on the Financial Advisers Act (FAA), which I never memorised when I was revising as the FAA as thick as 2 assessment books. You'll go siao memorising it wan lor. Therefore that question I can't answered lor. I completed the 4 questions with almost 45 minutes to spare but I know I can't answer that last question wan, so I submitted my script earlier lor. Didn't see the point of freezing in the Grand Hall for next 45 minutes for the super remote chance that I can think out some points to write when I didn't even studied that FAA when I was revising. Hence, my chance of passing this paper should be about 60% lor if all goes well.

Anyway, I got to meet up with sushi-chan a.s.a.p. to receive my mochi before they turned to mould-chi lor. LOL.
