Unexpected decision

To be frank, further study wasn't part of my to-do list ever especially not in a subject/course which I wasn't good at. I can still remember how I fail it miserably during secondary school (Kemahiran Hidup) and ended up copying my classmate's answers each and every time. I blame it on the teacher. Maybe her way of teaching or maybe her Malay wasn't as good thus I couldn't understand any concept that she tried to interject into my brain cause I did well during college day. Words can't describe how thankful I am for the right lecturers I met during college else I bet I'll have to retake that subject for sure.

I'm talking about accounting course here. Somehow something strikes me during December 2016 and I started to consider taking accounting course as my back up plan. Maybe because I've been in this firm for way too long that it's so freaking hard to convince people that I'm ready to leave and that I'm ready for new challenge and that I'll enslave myself to their company. I don't know. The fact that I've been to several interviews and sadly none get through must've knock some sense into my brain.

I didn't take long to go ahead with it. 3 weeks? I think I took around 3 weeks to convince myself or probably less and settled with this college which I'm going now. Honestly, I'm not sure if that's the right choice I made, I still don't but I had to convince myself that it is because for the least I am gaining extra knowledge and polishing myself with knowledge that I didn't pick up during my younger days and that even if I don't ended up with an accounting job in the future I can still use the knowledge I have to manage my own business account.

Tho, it's been a really tiring journey. I've done with 2 subjects now but I've yet to sit for any CBE exam and I'll be done with another 3 subjects soon before the next 4 subjects come haunting me in the next semester. Sometimes I wonder how I did it haha. All the after work weekdays classes and 6 hours weekends classes I literally had no time to myself. Oh right and my online shop too which took me most of my precious rest time.  IT IS MAD TIRING I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING but I believe after the rain comes the rainbow, good day will come to me soon!

I am currently contemplating whether or not I should go for ACCA once I complete this CAT. Maybe I should otherwise it'll be a waste but ACCA will be 10 times more tiring and cost so much more. Maybe I should go for Korean language course instead but if I want to pursue a translator job I should go for Japanese since they tend to pay more for Japanese translator.

Oh well, let's see what I've chosen for myself the next time I write a post then.

Most memorable day of November 2016

30th November 2016, the last day of my birthday month. Yes, I'm a November baby and yes, I'm a scorpio. 

It was just like any other day except something must've hit me hard early that morning for me to decide on doing something such as this but the outcome was what I would remember for the rest of my life (maybe).

Golden ticket

Yes, I bought a lottery ticket on the last day of my birthday month and it's my car plate number. A number which is rarer than a aerodactyl, a number that only pops up in lottery result not more than 20 times a year. I have no idea why but this number combination doesn't seems to be a popular pick but weirdly in just November itself it strikes for more than 7 times under DaMaCai and my instinct tells me that I should go for it and here goes my RM1!

and the result doesn't disappoint!

For the first time in my life I strike a lottery and it's a 1st Prize! I wasn't expecting it in fact I've forgotten about it and went dinner with my mom until my colleague text me with the result. Blessed, truly blessed. I've never thought I would ever get the chance to strike a lottery but here I am!

2016 hasn't been much of a good year to me and I really hope this would be the turning point of my life. 29 years old, sorting out my life and deciding my turning point. May everything be smooth and hopefully there'll be more first time of anything awesome.
