Hey! Finally I’ve the chance to sit here quietly and blog! It had been a October full of events. Induction meeting of Toastmaster, Graduation Ceremony, Mock Exam and tonnes of birthday celebration with the friends!!
After taking about 1.5 months of consideration, I finally made up my mind and sign up as a member of Toastmaster Sunway Club!

▲ I’m Toastmaster Na E-chuen! :D
Toastmaster?? Learning how to toast French bread? Ahh… I kept making fun with people who don’t know what the club stands for. It’s actually a club that train you to speak in front of public! What we so called “Public Speaking”. Yeap! I need to train myself to speak fluently in English in front of the public and have a better look on CV.
*Target for myself before graduate from ACCA in June 2014: Complete 10 speeches and be the Competent Communicator!*
That’s not the club that I wanna join initially. I was interested to join Sunway Accountancy Club as a committee which has more fun activities. But looking at my packed schedule, I don’t think I can give much commitment to be part of the organiser. So I passed my recruitment form to another classmate.

I still remember one of my senior quote this: “They said it’s graduation. I said it’s a passport to study harder.” From our initial CAT Group 9 (April 2011) with 29 students in the class, we left 13 “survivals” in ACCA (July 2012) classes. You have to be hardworking in CAT; But you need to be a NERD in ACCA. It’s not about the matter on how smart you actually are. But it’s about how much effort do you put in.
People come and go, that’s your life as you proceeds to ACCA. You need to learn how to be independent the moment you decided to join the course. You need to be glad when you can actually find someone to go through the whole course with you. I wish we can complete the mission TOGETHER and take another group photo in ACCA Graduation Ceremony!
Next!! Mock exam?? Skip!! Don’t be surprise if I applied “consistency” in it by failing all 3 papers in a row…

A sincere THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes from phone call, SMS, posts on FB, twitter, email, birthday cards and ang pao!
There gone my 18th and say “Hello!” to 19th Club! Will be a better year!
By the way, let the Na’s family welcome the new member!

My dear baby girl, people always says: It takes a thousand year to raise up a child.
But all I know is “Before you can raise up a child, the child must be healthy!”
We do hope that you will be pretty smart girl in the future. But please stay strong and healthy now and forever…
