I think the place that I went to (at PeeBeeDee) do not do cross processing. The film I used has 36 exposures but only 18 were developed. I talked to this 'kedai gambar' near my place owner, the lady said maybe 'kedai gambar' PeeBeeDee mixes their chemical to develop. Since nowadays there a only a few who developed their films (me think H0l94 and other L0m0 lovers only) that's y the developers do that because of less demand(not my view k, the owner lady of 'kedai gambar').</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:Courier New;">I compared my pictures to other H0l94 pictures & found out my pics are not clear or sharp. I wonder why. Maybe there is lack of light (I've read somewhere if take shots during sunny days will be damn awesome.)Thinking of buying the flash lah later.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:Courier New;">I also face difficulties in focusing on shots using this TLR, especially the viewfinder. Is it because H0l94 TLR are not good? I have a few shots where I remembered I focused on something else but it took a different view (kenot blame also coz I took the shot while the car is moving!) hihi.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:Courier New;">Will try to take shots during sunny days. I have two rolls of slide films but sayang nak guna coz they are quite rare. Maybe I will try the fresh one after this.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:Courier New;">Owh, the phrase "Dont think just shoot" is not applicable to me. I have to think so that my pictures will make sense. A lot of pictures made me wondering waddahell? ekhekekhe</span></p>Che' Merrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14764503002612240787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132330205025969503.post-82262899574800189442008-05-26T05:23:00.000-07:002008-05-26T05:54:28.588-07:00Exam is just around the corner<span style="font-family:arial;">Professional qualification is very important for us auditors as it differentiates us from other 'auditors'. It also serves as the mines of technical knowledge that help us in doing our work basically, whether it is financial, operational, compliance, IT audit.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I am taking ACCA at the moment. This seating I will battling (again) with F7, F8 & F9 papers which I did not have much 'luck' and sound knowledge at previous seatings. This posting is basically to warn me that I have only 9 days to study all these 3 papers. Still I did not adhere to my strict time table which lets me at least cover the syllabus once.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Tips for ppl who will be taking exams (whether it is ACCA, MIA, CAT, etc):</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">1. Never study in your room. It is too comfortable where the bed is at its 'cosi'est mode ever!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">2. The best place to study, at library. Equipped with lecturer notes, past year papers, all the</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> colorful pens that you bought last month, mp3/ipod player, hey, u are ready to go!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3. Study groups. It is essential but not compulsory. After all, my study group is going nowhere </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> now, can't really rely on them for the future, aight?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">4. Sufficient supplies of tit-bits, lunch + dinner, sweets, asam, kerepek, etc. You don't want to</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> waste your time by just walking back and forth to the nearest mamak, food court, kedai runcit</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> right? You don't have time (luxury) anymore!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">5. For Muslims, your ketayap/songkok/telekung. God's miracle is very much needed at this </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> point of time.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">6. Family, friends who are very supportive. To these people, don't suddenly come up with the </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> idea of gatherings, lunches, dinners, karok sessions. It is distracting and we do not want to be</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> labelled as bad cousins,aunties,uncles,friends,buddies because we cannot attend. Please </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> understand. Educating these group of people that we have to practically burn the midnight </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> oil is a must!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">7. Please be focused!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">8. No Internet. This is also very distracting. Hahah, let me get to doing exercises then. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Wish me luck!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">xoxo</span>Che' Merrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14764503002612240787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132330205025969503.post-71487270042985058852008-05-14T03:35:00.000-07:002008-05-14T03:59:18.972-07:00The Beginning<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Ehemm.. I didn't decide to choose auditing as a career initially. I am an IT graduate, well that is what I have studied for my degree. But things have been a lil bit crazy for the past 26 and a half years (and still are, but I am loving and enjoying it every moment) and here I am auditing for my 'sesuap nasi'.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">I started with MICPA Conversion Course where we (a group of people, can't remember the exact number) learned on Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Tax and Business Law in around 6 months.. haha.. not bad eh (Note: Author did take Accounts for SPM. Result - F9. Thank God it was not included in the SPM Cert). Pass all the 4 papers and worked in one of the Big 4 firm. This is where it all started...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Am I a perfectionist? Kindda, maybe that is why I love this area despite of all the 'cabaran yang tidak berhenti-henti menimpa'. One (no, more than one) once said that I cannot survive doing auditing (is auditing in Big 4 considered as the 'only' auditing?) I just have to prove them wrong.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">SO here we are .... the ABCs and 123s of auditing , chewah!! (The level of ramblings/ articles/ discussion points here is interrelated with the level of audit skills that I have at the moment.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Thank you</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span>Che' Merrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14764503002612240787noreply@blogger.com0
