You Define the Success That You Want To Achieve In Your Life!
I wholeheartedly believe in that statement! Simply because the extent of everything you achieve in life revolves to what you define as success!
If you believe that success means being happy, you will strive to be a happy person!
If you believe being successful is having lots of friends, a family, and able to travel all around the world, your mind and body will strive to achieve that!
So, my friends, what is success to you?
Whatever you want to achieve depends on you yourself. The whole world is your oyster!
Everything you ever wanted out of life, all you can receive by simply asking for them.
Eventually,only when you are clear of what success really mean to you, will you be able to have lasting happiness and contentment!
Being a Manchester United supporter in Malaysia can be a tough experience.
There are football fanatics everywhere in Malaysia. When asked what team do you support, and if you answer 'Manchester United', chances are you will be labelled a glory hunter. A dude who just got on the winner's bandwagon. Who doesn't really care about Manchester United yet buys all sorts of Manchester United's merchandise. Perhaps this is due to jealousy. Envy of Manchester United's success throughout the years.
Allow me to say once and for all. I am a Manchester United Fanatic. I have been supporting the team for past 10 years.
I always thought that being a TRUE Manchester United fan is more than just a being a normal supporter. It is a momentous turning point in one's life. A commitment to a life long journey of being intertwined with the fortunes of Manchester United.
When you are a Manchester United fan like me,your life goes up and down together with the Manchester Team. I always remember the times where i woke up 3am in the middle of the week,with 8am class the next day, just to watch my beloved team. You can feel the pain deep down when Manchester United is losing a game,the frustration when chance after chance goes begging and the ball doesn't go into the net. Alas,when Manchester United score the winner in injury time, you can see and hear me screaming with the top of my lungs. The ecstasy,the euphoric feeling of being on top of the world. Ronaldo,the Brazilian,once voted the most recognizable person in football,once said that 'football is better than sex'.
And that is what i meant by THE MANCHESTER UNITED PASSION. You have a deep bond. This comes from knowing that you are cheering for a team thousand of miles away and they don't know you. Yet, you feel it is more than worth it. That no matter the result in the end,you will be there cheering again the next match,because you know they will rise again from adversity.
A lot of my friends tell me that football is just a dumb game where 22 people chase around trying to put the ball in the back of the net. If it is so,then why does The WORLD CUP, football's biggest tournament,is also the biggest sporting event in the world? Why do more than a billion people follow the sport?
Football for me,has always provided many good values in life. Football promotes youth, unites people, bring people together for the pure spirit of the game. When Manchester United won 2-1 against Bayern Munich by scoring 2 injury time goals,that shows that you must never give up till the end. I get so motivated and goosebumps whenever i recall that memory.
To those who don't understand football or couldn't care less,i'd just like to say that 'i'm sorry,football is just a gift you have yet to receive'. I am a Manchester United fan through and through. How many fans know that in the early days, the Red Devils were known as Newton Heath?
Glory glory Man United, as the Reds go Marching ON ON ON!!!!
Feeling comfortable with our own position yet not motivated enough to want to push ourselves to a higher level,we get stuck eventually in the same familiar position that we have always been at. It is true, HUMAN BEINGS WILL ALWAYS DO MORE TO AVOID PAIN THAN TO GAIN PLEASURE.
And then there are some who after a huge realization,goes about wanting to achieve so many goals in so little time. It's like trying to create 100 masterpieces in less than a month. Truth is,it is simply not possible. Feeling super optimistic at the start,this person goes about indulging in every possible avenue which is of interest to him. Investing in the stock market? sure,i'll buy a few books and read them.. Taking japanese,spanish,and korean class? sure,i've already enrolled myself.. Martial arts? Just paid fees for 3 months.. Forex trading? sure,got a call from an agent yesterday all the way from Geneva. Memory skills? bought a book on that too last week. Property investment? set up a date to explore more already.
What is very apparent in all these is that he thinks that he is making progress,however,it could be said that he is only running in circles. 2 steps forward,but 3 steps back. Until one day he realises that people can achieve much more just by being FOCUSED.
The power of focus and clear visualisation of what you really want is underrated. A simple example, if you were to be all successful in life,how would it be like? Can you clearly describe the things you really desire out of life? Or is it just good family,good money,and good career? Obviously,that is not specific enough.
You have got to have a clear shot of the bullseye you are aiming for. All kinds of circumstances may distract you,but in your head,you are always looking directly at the red dot in the archery board. By being focused in a few areas,you can unleash the hidden talent within you.
The best way thus,is to be focused,clear,direct,and never waver away from the vision of your ultimate goal. Too many things being done at the same time will only lead to frustration and despair. A certain someone has been there in the past.
Out of the millions of inspiring movies,it has finally been declared that the MOST INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING MOVIE OF ALL TIME IS ROCKY 1-THE MOVIE.
I remember the first time i watched it,i was so engrossed in the movie and it always has the same motivating effect on me.
The story of an unknown boxer rising to the pinnacle of success and overcoming tremendous adversity never fail to inspire me always.
The behind the scenes story of how it finally became a movie was also an inspiring one. Sylvester Stallone wrote the story himself,but he had a disability with his cheek muscle,resulting in his left mouth drooping and his speech slurring. But,he was so convinced that his movie was going to be a huge success that not even countless rejections by directors stopped him. Finally,he found a movie company willing to buy his idea,but only after a heated discussion on who is to play Rocky,the main character. Stallone was adamant that he play the character no matter what. The rest they say is history.
ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY!!!
Well,tomorrow is the start of a new semester,a new war,a new adventure.
It promises to be one heck of a journey,with many battles to be fought,countless challenges to be conquered,goals and dreams to be achieved.
To survive all these requires nothing short but a steely mind,hardened by past battle scars, and pure determination to keep pushing forward when the chips are down.
Are you going to give in when the impossible is staring right in front of you? when your mind is telling you it is not worth the pain? when everything you do seem hopeless compared to the mountains blocking out path to victory?
Blood will be shed,no doubt,new scars will emerge.
However,always remember the goal. What you are aiming for when achieved is going to be more than worth all the sacrifices and the pain. And even when you don't succeed in the end,alas,you will become an indefinitely better person in many ways.
With this,let's vow to always be optimistic and adhere to the saying 'WE CAN DO THIS!
''Hardwork is the accumulation of all the easy work that we did not do when we had the chance''
Such an inspiring video involving a lion who still can remember its 2 masters after 1 year of separation.I nearly cried watching this video. It just goes to show that no matter who we are, always be thankful to those who have shaped the person we are now.
A legend to admire whether you are a sports fan or not
I have been a bit disturbed by something lately.
I find that i was quite unhappy with a lot of small things lately. All the petty stuff adds up making me feel frustrated and eventually just taking it out on other people.
Small things like not having enough time for work,reaching home late,class after class,expecting friends to do something but they did not, in the end it just boils up inside me.
However,i soon realize that life will always try to pull you down,it's how hard you can take it and keep pushing,not giving in and blaming others when the going gets tough.
My dear lecturer once sent me a sms,

SMOOTH ROAD NEVER MAKES A GOOD DRIVER,
SMOOTH SEA NEVER MAKES A GOOD SAILOR,
CLEAR SKIES NEVER MAKES A GOOD PILOT,
A PROBLEM FREE LIFE NEVER MAKES A STRONG PERSON,
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGES IN LIFE!
DO NOT ASK LIFE, ''WHY ME?''
INSTEAD SAY '' TRY ME!''
WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THAT,
YOU ARE A WINNER!

I realize that sometimes,you just have let things be as it is,you may not have control over it,but as long as you know you have done your part,your best,there is nothing to regret over.
Results! Results! Results!
During the entire class on Monday Morning, everyone could barely concentrate on what the lecturer was saying. In everyone's mind (mostly), results are coming out at 12pm! Gosh,how will i do? did i do enough to pass? what if i didn't get what i want?
Coincidentally , it was also my friend's Ee Laine's Birthday! (the GOOD)We had a nice time eating at this great restaurant called Ah Lyes Fish Curry Head after the class ended at 11am. YUMMY FOOD and we took lots of pictures and joking around. Some wanted to watch a movie after lunch then only check the results,but i think some were nervous about the results also when the clock struck 12pm.
Just then,as i was in the bathroom after eating, (the UGLY) Julian called. He straight away asked me about my results and told me his. Sincerely i was happy with him when he told me he passed all his papers beyond expectation,but i was a bit uncomfortable,let's put it that way,with the tone of his voice. He sounded insulting at the same time and more so on the next phone call. Sometimes i feel people should have the humility to treat people with respect.
So,after that,i did a stupid thing. In retrospect,i should not have told my classmates about Julian's call right after,because they all wanted to check their results right away. No movie,and the mood dampened a bit. Thus,they drove to Siew Lai's place to check altogether while i drove home to check mine. While driving home,honestly,i had cold shivers and was extremely nervous.
When i finally arrived,i did a prayer and prepared. Signed in into Hotmail,and immediately when i did that,i received an email ''RESULTS ACCA ONLINE''. Clicked on it,could barely breath and scrolled down slowly. PASS,PASS,PASS,PASS. I should have been very happy,and i was,but i felt a tinge of disappointment when i saw F4-80 Marks. I tried my best,but sometimes maybe the luck of the questions was against me.
Overall,a frantic day. To one of my friend,do not give up ok. There is always a second chance. Strive harder next time!

Do you believe in fate?
I repeated the question again because i have asked the same to myself countless time in my young 20 years of living.
A quote that i have always believe in came from the Terminator Movies
-THERE IS NO FATE BUT WHAT WE MAKE FOR OURSELVES-
My heart sticks with this quote because what it really says is 'if you want something,go and get it. Do not wait for something to happen! Make it happen!'
This quote is also a wake up call for people who are just lazy, waiting for the one lucky day that they strike lucky,and win the 50 Million lottery. NO,it's not going to happen!
Recently though,thinking back,i believe that things just happen as steps. Steps that will lead on to bigger things when it will all finally come in one place.
When i was rejected countless times in the past,i felt terrible. The day i found out i won't be able to study overseas,when i got rejected for my SHELL interview,when i felt alone among all classmates,when i got rejected by my crush.
Now i realize that those were just small steps. What it all really meant was my time wasn't ready when i will fly. Same goes to everyone out there. No matter how hard you try at something,if it doesn't work,sometimes it's just that your time has not arrived to be a STAR!
My advice to you is this, DREAM BIG ,AIM HIGH FOR THE SKY, FOR IF YOU SHALL FALL,AT LEAST YOU WILL REST AMONG THE HIGH CLOUDS! THE HARDER YOU WORK,THE LUCKIER YOU GET! AND FATE RESIDES WITH THOSE WHO TAKE THAT EXTRA MILE!

One week has past, just like that!
Seriously, Albert Einstein was right..
Time is Relative!
Seriously, Albert Einstein was right..
Time is Relative!
The genius orated that '' time is ever so relative. It's simple. If a guy sees a hot woman goes by,to him a few seconds would seem like a flash,but if he touches a hot stove,a few seconds would seem like eternity!''
Brilliant words... This past week,i have discovered that life is ever moving so rapidly. There is no such thing as constant,you have to keep on adapting,evolving according to your circumstances. It is more than ever,survival of the fittest!!!
I have learned that when you are faced with a new challenge,what do you do? If you know that it will push you out of your comfort zone,will you take up the challenge? Or will you be like me,calculating the pros and cons? I hate the second method,but 9 times out of 10 ,you have to make a sacrifice in one way.
Take the SUNWAY STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. I was shortlisted but i was so unsure whether it will affect my studies. Will the benefit of it outweigh the cost of missing classes potentially,having less time for myself and studies? What do you say? Being an Acca student,admittedly,time management is everything. So we have to calculate the OPPORTUNITY COST!
In the end,a phrase came into my mind. I got to know it from my friend,Chew Teck Seng,who persuaded me to join Toastmasters Contest recently which i won 2nd runner up. If it hadn't been for his morale boosting phrase,i wouldn't have known my potential.
He said this,
"NEVER SAY 'IT CAN BE DONE,BUT IT'S HARD' ,BUT SAY 'IT IS HARD,BUT IT CAN BE DONE'"
So,a new adventure beckons. In a few months time,i may regret joining. But at least i know,that no matter what happens, i did give it my best shot!
A special thank you to my gf,who provided me with the elegant title above.

Another piece of wisdom from ms Joyce,my f6 lecturer.
"WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH,YOU GET TOUGHER WITH IT!"
I personally think it is so true considering my past week. First off,after my class on Monday,wanting to steal precious moments to release stress,went to watch Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 alone right after class. Lol. It was a great movie nonetheless! Plenty of action and tense moments. I have to say,John Travolta is a brilliant actor. Go watch it! I lost count though how many times the Ministry censored the word F**K..
This whole week i have been particularly occupied by the Sunway Toastmasters Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest . I kept on changing my speech! My final presented speech was made a day before the real contest!
Anyway,jeng jeng jeng! When i finally presented my humour speech on contest nite on Thursday July 30,i would say it was better than i expected. Got people to laugh out loud more than once. The bummer thing was i went overtime by 12 seconds! haih.. sad case,but great experience just to know i can make people laugh.. hehe..another milestone achieved.. A note-the audience was quite big,very encouraging to see and ACCA students were there too! woo hoo!
As for the Evaluation Contest,i managed to win 2nd runner up spot. Honestly,being the first speaker to give my evaluation before the other 4 ,i thought i didn't do too well. Unexpected but quite happy. Gives me motivation to keep on improving. For all you guys and gals out there who want to get involved in something inspirational,join Toastmasters! Believe me,it is life changing!
Happy news for me this week was celebrating my dear friend Sean's surprise birthday party! WOO HOO! He was too speechless to speak.. haha.. had lots of fun,food was great,fooled around towards the end,it was just fantastic that night! Happy turning 21,bro!
Now,trying to juggle all this with my studies is actually quite tough. Sacrifices have to be made ( i haven't seen my dear gf in a while) and push when others are still. The whole exam cycle of Progress Test 1, Progress Test 2, Mock Exam, Exam Driven Course, Final Acca Exam is about to begin soon. Hard? you bet. And all in the space of 4 months. sometimes,i really do wonder why some people join ACCA. All this for a measely 2 weeks holiday after that before the new semester starts again. You cant really do anything else besides studying.
But like Ms Joyce say,if you aim for the sky,even if you fall,you will land on the golden trees.. so just tell yourself ,take one thing at a time,and you will make it through,not just passing,but with flying colours! Go go go!

First off, my apologies for not updating my blog earlier. A lot of things happened simultaneously in the past week.
Well,just a quick summary-
1) Studies and lessons are picking up. Trying my best to catch up and adapt. Hopefully it works out well.
2) My June 2009 exam results are coming out on AUGUST 17! Not to mention it is Progress Tests week! Gambateh!
3) Currently reading a book written by a person widely regarded as the best mutual fund stockpicker in the 1990s- ''BEATING THE STREET'' by Peter Lynch. So far,it has been really absorbing,aside from a few friends comments that they can never read such books.lol
4) Finally did something with my virtual investing account at INVESTOPEDIA.COM. went and bought around 10 stocks. So far,after 3 days,average annual return 3.89 %. Ps-my Ebay stock went up 15 % in 2 days! too bad i only bought 250 units,too small amount. Right now though ,my largest amount is in SATYAM COMPUTER SERVICE,the company who got involved in a scandal. Price currently $5,but it's a solid company. Updates on my investing journey in future posts.For everyone out there who wants to go into investing-try out this website!

Well,i have found some great advice from my f6 lecturer,and this is one of them.
If you want to pursue something,believe in it and just go all out heartedly!
Never doubt yourself!
Keep reminding yourself that you can do it!
People may doubt you,may want to see you go down,may try to bring you down with them,but have the faith in yourself!
In the end ,shall u even fail,at least you know you have learned something!
Keep on trying!
Always see the greatest problem as the greatest opportunity!
To SUCCESS!

WOW!
As i am writing this post,assignments and homework await me,there is a contest coming up which i have not prepared anything,and i haven't had the time to read my magazines that are lying by my table.
By the way,i just signed a 2 year new subscription for Time and Fortune magazines =) go figure!
Honestly though,the reason i said WOW is because this week i have gained so much!
Firstly,being elected as a class rep for 2 subjects presents a new challenge for me. May i learn a lot from it :)
Secondly,i realise that it really works.. The saying ''treat others the way you want to be treated''. I've been keeping in mind that saying and it really does makes your life more beautiful and meaningful!
Thirdly,i met a really successful person (in my eyes) in the form of my F6 lecturer. Do not take it the wrong way,but she epitomises the kind of personality i would like to have in the future.
Ie-loving life doing what she loves to do, passionate, fearless, humorous and a go getter!
Being an Acca student with First class honours in Sunway,she is a living example of great role model!
Time is MONEY! I recently bought a book by the famous Robert Kiyosaki(of Rich Dad Poor Dad fame) and this is one of the most important lessons. Every minute you waste is another opportunity wasted. For example ,if you waste 6 hours a day,and assuming your life span is 80 years, you would have in the end wasted 20 years of your life!
So ask yourself rite now, ARE YOU MAKING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TIME? OR ARE YOU FACEBOOKING,MSN-ING, SKYPING, MY SPACE-ING, SMSING ADDICT ALL THE TIME? IF YES, CUT IT OUT!
One more thing though, In chasing the biggest things in life,we tend to miss out the smallest things that means the most to us which are right in front of us. Never make that mistake!

Last week,i had an awakening. A realization that had such a profound effect emotionally on me.I realised that the most important people lesson in this world is
Treat others the way you would treat if you were them.
11 words. And yet,there is a message in those words that is utmost pivotal for anyone,especially in our society where people are mostly judged by their appearance than their inner personalities.
First impressions matter most to some people today unfortunately,which is why to the more talented but less attractive appearance-wise are getting overlooked day by day.
You hear it everyday. Teenagers are divided into 'nerdy geeks' or 'cool'. There is no in between.
For the 'cool-looking dudes/bi***es', some are humble,knowing that they are blessed physically. But IT IS THE OTHERS WHO THRIVE ON MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THEIR LOOKS WHO ARE DARNRIGHT MALICIOUS! THOSE WHO ENJOY TEASING THE LESS GOOD LOOKING WHILE ENJOYING THE LIMELIGHT. To them,it is just a joke.
But for the victims,it is pure hurt and hell. Victimization leads to isolation from society which eventually causes depression.
I was a VICTIM IN THE PAST.
Trying to shine,optimistic,but it all fell apart when i was less judged by other people.
It hits you so hard emotionally that you just want to hide yourself. When you face people,you do not dare look at their faces because you feel insecure. And it drives you crazy because you KNOW DEEP DOWN IN YOUR HEART,YOU WANT TO BETTER,YOU DESERVE BETTER! BUT YOU FEEL HOPELESS!
I have learned, that in life,you WILL DEFINITELY MEET THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE!
You have to avoid them at all costs.
Which brings to my original message. In life, always treat others the way you want to be treated if you were them!
I believe in karma. Fine,if you feel like embarrassing me or humiliating me today,i can take it. Because i know one day,you will get the same in return.
There is a saying
- Be careful of how you treat people on your way up,because you will meet them again on your way down-
-- I am the SOURCE of all my emotions. NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE HOW I FEEL EXCEPT ME. If i find myself in reaction to anything, i can change it in a moment.--
--There are NO BAD EXPERIENCES in life. No matter what i go through in Life, EVERY EXPERIENCE provides me something of value if i look for it.--
-- Avoid consistently DEPENDING ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS for your ULTIMATE HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.--
-- There is no such thing as FAILURE. I AM HAPPY THAT NO MATTER WHAT,AT THE END OF THE DAY,I CAN SAY THAT I HAD MY SHOT AT GLORY,UNLIKE MANY OTHERS WHO TRULY GIVE UP TRYING. That is the ULTIMATE FAILURE. --
Can change happen in an Instant?
Think about it for a moment. Remember the last time you quit smoking? or decided to stop procrastinating,and that no matter what,you must start studying already? or you finally made a decision to start going to the gym regularly when you realize people are staring at your enlarging belly?
That was change. And at that very moment,change happened! Just like that!
Thus,it is no doubt that change DO HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT!
Now,think of the possibilities. This means that,no matter where you are in your life right now,if you truly desire for more than what life is giving you at the moment,you CAN CHANGE INSTANTLY TO DRIVE YOURSELF TO SUCCESS!
The world's greatest motivator,Anthony Robbins, who from a fat,broke,man turned millionaire at age 24,said that the TURNING POINT OF HIS LIFE was when he finally DECIDED one day that enough is enough! He will never once again tolerate anything less than what he knows he is capable of! and he committed to himself to never indulge in anything that he knows is of negative influence! At that very moment, CHANGE HAPPENED! And he became one of the world's most inspirational story!
Now,for change to happen in an instant,there are 3 steps.
1)Raise your STANDARDS! THINK OF WHAT YOU ARE TRULY CAPABLE OF AND COMMIT TO ACHIEVING THEM NO MATTER WHAT!
2)Destroy your Limiting Beliefs! Everyone has them,whether it's ''the world is cruel,there is not enough money for everyone,money is the root of all evil,i am too ugly,too intimidating to succeed,it is too hard,too long,too etc etc''. The goal is to never let them control you,control them,use them as a motivation. Say '' Hey,you know what,i am going to prove everyone wrong and be the first to do this''. Gandhi would never have achieved independence for India if not for his unwavering and total faith and belief in the Power of Non Violent Opposition.
3) Find the best Strategy! If you truly apply the first 2 steps,i believe that no matter what happens,you will find the way to achieve what you want! A tip-find someone already successful or a strategy that already works,and follow their steps. Discover what makes them tick and apply them! Chances are you too,will Succeed!
REMEMBER,CHANGE DO HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT!
USE THAT POWER TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!
COMMIT TO A BETTER YOU!
USE THAT POWER TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!
COMMIT TO A BETTER YOU!
Have you ever wondered, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL THIS?
Why are you here? What is your purpose in life? Where do you find meaning in doing what you do everyday? What is final dream you are chasing?
One of my close friends told me 'In life,you need to Punch Life in the FACE,if not,Life will Punch You back'..
'Just go with the flow and take life as it is,and it will bring you closer to what you are searching for. the final destination'
But what's next after that?
I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately.. Acca gonna start soon,classes,Progress Tests,driving,exams.. a repeating cycle..
Everyone has dreams,and i think the best way to counter all this is to review those dreams. What are you after?
some people go through their lives doing what other people want them to do.. i hope i don't end up like them..
I guess the reason movie stars end up doing criminal acts is because of the question,'' Is this all that fame brings? what's next for me? '' so they end up doing drugs and all..
I envy people who know what their ultimate passion is in life and set out whole heartedly to get what they want.. I wish every single day i can be like them..
Life is just passing us by everyday.. time and tide waits for no one..
Search deep down in ourselves and find that meaning that you know you have to pursue no matter what..

So,2 more days till war begins... AGAIN!
Seriously,i dun believe i have ever seen a course which has fewer holidays in a YEAR than ACCA!
FACT- IN AN ACCA YEAR, 3 weeks holidays in June,and 2 weeks holidays in December!
I DARE ANYONE TO CHALLENGE THAT :) in a good way :)
oh well,i guess,life as a money maker has to has its costs..
Well,to sum up my past 3 weeks of freedom, at the end of the day,i'd like to think that i have made the most out of it..
Most memorable moment-travelling myself with my gf on a fantastic holiday in Redang.. I went to heaven,did things that i really enjoyed(snorkelling,canoeing 50m in middle of the sea,getting cramp leg while snorkelling).. haih,good times do past so fast!
Paradise
Spending time with friends-one of things i enjoyed most was spending time with my old buddies.. My faithful buddy,Naveen,Chen,Eddy,Tana too.. seriously,may our friendship last forever... enjoyed playing games at chen's house,makan makan,playing sports,movies.. for a guy to say 'i love you guys',dun call me gay but i do feel that way..lol.. thanks and stay in touch k! No matter what!
Movies-gosh,i watched so many movies! Kinda like a movie expert ady.. really enjoyed it.. ps-watch State of Play!
Others-reading,catching up in the net,etc..
One more thing- On my birthday,i had a sweet time with my gf.. thanks baby,i love you.. and i got a pleasant surprise from my parents..
SO,before ACCA battle begins,a note to myself and to my fellow acca mates again, push yourself like you have never done before! NO VICTORY,NO SACRIFICE!
TO ACCA!
---Easy does it---
A SPECIAL NOTE TO MY FRIEND IZZATI,WHO HELPED ME WITH THE COMMENTS ISSUE, THANK YOU!! POSTING OF COMMENTS ARE NOW ENABLED! :):):) FEEL FREE TO RAVE OR RANT!
