acca...the flashback :p

5.15pm - received call from Halim. The moment he screamed at my name, i can clearly imagined her joyful face and he sounded sooo and extremely terribly happy over something. I asked him "kenape happy sgt ni?" And he replied ..."teka la teka la cepatttt".

And the one and only thing that came across my mind would be of course....hmm mesti pasal ACCA nih!

So i guess.....
"ko dah pass ACCA ker Halim?"
And he said....
"A'ahhhh Yati A'aaaaahhh!!!!" (dgn teramat kuatnyer)
Then he continued...
"Yati, thanks eh selama ni support aku sume nih..."
i said...
eh aku mane ader buat pepe pon utk kau...
he replied...
ala kan kite dulu sama2 nak jadik CPA, sama2 pegi register pegi bayar sumer tuh...aku mane lupa org2 yg mula2 berjuang sesama nak amik acca nih hehe...

me: hehehe gelak je la

So there he goes...passing the ACCA means another episode of nightmare in his life is over - no more text books, tight classes and schedules, tonnes of assignments, etc etc....what a bliss! As his friend, as his ex-thesismate, as his ex-classmate, and as his ex-acca mate, of course i feel proud for him. He has gone thru one of the toughest obstacle for someone who wanted to be the CPA...though ACCA might only be the initial phase, but it was indeed a good start!

Flashing back on the old memories, i can still remember the six of us - mafus, halim, elly, rahimi, zarid and i...we all wanted to have our own big 5 accounting firm. With all of us having the CPA title, we were very sure at that time that we'll be having great success and able to build our own empire and name in the accounting arena in our country. But now, i guess the dream will just remain as a dream. It cant be turned into reality. If it can, then the partner inside the corporation definitely will change. There'll be no more myself inside there. Obviously am not qualified to be part of them. Elly? She also has decided not to pursue his acca. Zarid and rahimi..both of them successfully have completed their MBA. Hence, the dream can only be realized by Halim and Mafus, they are the only two that can be depended upon to pursue the dream.

Halim used to keep on asking me this kind of question, his favourite one actually...ko betul ke takmo amik acca yati? kalo takmo acca pon, amikla master...rugi tau yati...rugi segala ilmu2 yg ko ader dulu tuh.
And my default answer would be, ntahla halim....acca konfem takmo amik dah, master tunggu la dulu.

So here i am now, picking up calls as a call center agent, and is still learning to master in the parenthood and babies thing. Am i happy? hehe the answer is definitely YES! Regret of quitting my acca? My answer is definitely NO! :)))

To Halim and Mafus, chaiyo chaiyo chaiyo chaiyo!!!
