Any update about me?

Nothing much but Alhamdulillah, there is progress in my life, eventhough still got some hiccups here and there, well… this is life! People are not perfect.. just forgive them and pray for good sake..

I am soon-to-be-chartered-accountant but the MIA decision not final yet. I have submitted my application to be MIA member and insyaAllah, the result will be out soon, in July.

How can I qualify to be MIA member?
Just a simple requirement. A degree in Accounting from recognized universities plus three (3) years working experience. I should be applying for this membership years ago, unfortunately my working experience in a single company has not exceed 3 years – therefore I need more than one testimonial to complete the application form. For further info, details, application form download, please visit www.mia.org.my

Next, is my ACCA..
Alhamdulillah, I have sat for P3 Business Analysis exam last week. My chosen tuition provider was www.kaplanaccaonline.com with the fee of S$250. Actual fee was S$500 but since it was new so they offered for half price. It was online tuition where we could hear the virtual lecturer delivering the lecturer through video recording. Got online textbook where we do not need to bring the thick-textbook everywhere, interim & final assessment and quizes. Plus audio recording which we might downloaded to our iPod.

Moving on… for next sitting I am planning to seat for 2 papers, maybe P1 Professional Accountant & P6 Advanced Taxation, depending on my P3 result coming this August.. phewww…!
For P1 it might be a self-study as its my second attemp and for P6 I have decided to join Kasturi College (PJ campus) and the class will start on 5th July, every Monday, insyaAllah…

to be continued later….

daa…

First episode of this season was aired on 27/09/2009 in US. To date they have already released 10 episodes, out of 23 episodes and much thank you to Mr Hubby for downloding for me the 10 episodes. Hoyeah!

For those who are their fans like me, you can watch them online available in many websites includes http://abc.go.com/watch/desperate-housewives/93513.

Been a while not using this hand to write. Seems like my handwriting have changed. Actually I just opted to not attending Dec 2009 exam session due some reason. But most of my time of not studying during this period was occupied by office over-workloaded. Shorthanded of staff, new management, business plan, interim audit, tax comp, bla bla bla.. as usual as other accounts staff do when the year end coming. Its part of my experience accumulating and happy with it

Back to what I always dreamed on – to be called ‘Qualified Accountant’ until my hubby said “Easy.. just go to JPN, change your name to Akauntan Binti (my fatherla)..” Cesh!

After ‘honeymoon-ing’ for one sitting, now get back to school. Planning to sit for P3 Business Analysis this coming Jun 2010 sitting. Trust that myself wont be able to attend any class, I have decided to self-study, have my own flexi time but with super-high-self-dicipline. Huahaha! After 2 chapters reading the notes/textbook, uwaaa… I need class!

 So began the quest of tuition provider which must come with my strict criteria – location, the timetable, the fees. I have familiar with few tuition providers in KL – McOrange, Kasturi, PAAC. Called them and these are the timetables and fees for coming Jun 2010 sitting.

I am an ordinary staff, working with a GLC company, having a big dream of my future. Realizing of my current salary isn’t enough for future saving, I’ve brainstormed myself to start a business. Just a small business as a beginning.

Besides, after sometimes doing bloghopping, experimenting with others’ ideas, maybe its time for me to share my idea and experience to all which i think still not so significant compared to others.

Uhh, still not satisfied with my English – i’m improving.

Ibufarah is now blogging. After been sometimes considering to have a blog, now i am a blogger, upgraded from bloghopper.. Please forgive my english as i am still improving.

My blog mostly to share of any ideas in parenting – mommyhood, source of baby products and some story of my lifetime passion – ACCA.

Welcome and happy reading. Your ideas and comments are much welcomed.
