LOLshow...not laugh out loud but Life On Line!
Recently, I found out that my mom started listening to FLY.Fm. Can you imagine an old Chinese woman listening to FLY.Fm an English radio channel rather than those Chinese channel like MY.Fm or One.Fm and etc. I think she wants to be young!hahahaha.. It was her customer helped her to tune in to FLY.Fm. Now my turn, recently, I found this LOLshow hosted by John Lim, David Lian, David Wang, Niki Cheong.
It wasn't that bad after all. Frankly speaking I have no radio in my car and I don't want to touch the old junk radio that my mom own where she listening FLY.fm to. So the only way I can connect to radio is through online. In fact, I found this LOLshow. The episode 11 talks about social networking in cyber world like twitter. I discovered something new called google wave or buzz..hahaha..me noob..Information very sufficient and quite funny.hahahaha...
I would like to take this opportunity to request that I would like to stand this chance to win LOLshow Christmas Giveaway which is....***drum roll***drum roll*** it's Blackberry Curve 3G! What so sweeet to talk about or mention to this Blackberry? I had a dinner organized by my pastor and one of the dessert was 'fiber fruit' which is dry blackberry. And I would like to mention bout this real Blackberry Curve 3G, it basically as sweet as the 'blackberry' from Kirkland, United States.hahahaha..hope this would be my best Christmas gift for the year 2010!!

this two girls are my friend from my Christian Fellowship in college.well I don't really attend CF due to the packed schedule that I have.well both of them are pretty!hahaha..too bad they are not my girlfriend.
well this picture was taken during the Sports Day an event organised by Fayette House (ADP Council) under SEGi College Subang Jaya. Being a president from Maths Club, I was called to open a stall selling food and water. In fact, we only sold mineral water due to the event been sponsored by 7-up revive so we can't sell 100plus. Basically there will be profit of RM90+ by selling off all the mineral water; however, we sold food as well (we made a loss for food) so we have to use the profit to cover the loss from the food.urghh..next time no more selling food.oh ya..my club recently organized an event "Maths Quiz". It was a 3 days event which was pretty successfully ran. But due to some technical error here and there, we received complains regarding the judges. Anyway, it was a good one from my committee who made this event a success.kudos!
pretty heh?no..she not the one that you people are thinking about. just a random post random picture to fulfill SOMEONE who asked me to update my blog (you know who you are =p).okay! let me tell you who is she..her name is cheong poh yee..my BFF!or so call god sister since same surname. I got to know her when I was in my first day of class in diploma. She was the one who approached me and called me "ivan"... She knows me because she my TARC friend's friend. What a small world right? both of us went trough a lot of things in terms of studies la..well glad to have her to be my friend. I think in college till today both of us are so called the closest one compare to other friends of mine in college XD

had an EPIC journey last night to KL look-out point. why? 3hours massive jam from Cheras all the way to Ampang Point. Don't know what caused the jam cause there was nothing front there. My buddies stopped at the petrol station and had roti ikan bilis by gardenia. You know what? After get out from petrol station no jam at all. it seems like the roti ikan bilis got spell or something. hahaha.. wanted to give up and turn back, at the end we made it. Lesson learned was "perseverance is everything, keep going"

In a recent Accenture survey, 89% of executives agreed that innovation is as important as cost management for high performance. But while many companies are investing more in innovation, only a few have rigorous approach for managing the process. As a result, even innovative companies often fails to realize the benefits that their new ideas could produce.

Congratulations to myself on my success in obtaining the scholarship award from The Star. In conjunction of the offer, I'm invited to present myself at Eastin Hotel for the presentation of awards ceremony. Well, I hope I've done well in my previous assignments and also to do well in my coming final examinations on January 2011. To be scholar is not easy! Especially in this current program that I currently pursue because it's very competitive and tough. Is a blessing that given by God that I have this chance to be scholarship student where I don't need to pay single cent for my tuition fees except external exam fees. Since I can be in this position, why can't I finish my "race" in my academic with flying colours with His strength?

I always have the thought of leaving my own country because of the standards. However, there are many told me not to and stay where you are.
Edmund Blurke said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that GOOD MEN do nothing" also equivalent to darkness is the absence of light.
I wonder how can one person change the nation and even the word? How a person could really influence others? Most people are living with the complacency attitute "tidak apa" which contributed by fears and ignorance attitudes as well.
This world is a sinful world where evil exist. How to make the difference? How to change the nation, how to change the world? How to fight against corruption, racism, crimes and many other issues?
In order to have a country with good standards and justice; a country which is "clean", we need to PRAY, ACT and LEAD!
Can you, you ,you and you and even myself change the nation and the world? Help yourself and myself and lead the next generation as well for a better nation.

輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈 慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界 是否依然 孤獨地轉個不停
春風不解風情 吹動少年的心
讓昨日臉上的淚痕 隨記憶風乾了
抬頭尋找天空的翅膀 候鳥出現牠的影跡
帶來遠處的飢荒 無情的戰火 依然存在的消息
玉山白雪飄零 燃燒少年的心
使真情溶化成音符 傾訴遙遠的祝福
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
誰能不顧自己的家園 拋開記憶中的童年
誰能忍心看著 昨日的憂愁 帶走我們的笑容
青春不解紅塵 胭脂沾染了灰
讓久違不見的淚水 滋潤了你的面容
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈 慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界 是否依然 孤獨地轉個不停
日出喚醒清晨 大地光彩重生
讓和風拂出的音響 譜成生命的樂章
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
讓我們期待明天會更好

Relevant Costing
important key to remember:
Future
Incremental
Cash-flow
In order to determine the cost to be relevant, these 3 keys must be fulfilled. If one not fulfilled, it will not be considered as relevant cost. Therefore no point to include as cost; as it is irrelevant cost.
Moreover, generally fixed cost would consider as irrelevant unless there is additional fixed cost. Whereas opportunity cost no matter what it is..the cost would be relevant.

About a week ago, I lodge a complain to MBSA regarding the road condition in Taman Sri Muda. The road is not stable as in not smooth ( quite bumpy) and some even with holes. This road maintenance should be done regularly or to check the road condition regularly and not for once a year or even once in two years thing. We as tax payer through income tax, assessment and quit rent; therefore, we have right to complain and ask for immediate action to be taken.
so this was what they replied:
Untuk makluman lokasi aduan telah dimasukkan dalam tender MARRIS.Kerja-kerja dijangka akan bermula hujung bulan Ogos 2010. Laporan disediakan oleh Norhafizah 55105133 ext 343
See end of the month whether this happened or not. hahaha

Thursday July 1st: As I was reading this Our Daily Journey article on Friday after my submission of my first assignment, I saw this: The story of King Asa offers a textbook sample of this apparent "cause and effect relationship" with God. Asa was an excellent leader who turned his people from worshiping false gods (2 Chronicles 15:8). (But late in his reign, he depended on his own strength and judgement instead of God) [CAUSE]. Eventually, Hanani the prophet told Asa "the eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him". Asa's heart was evidently not fully tune with God, for the balance of his life was marked by war and disease [EFFECT]. When I read about this causal linkages, I smiled and it gives me memory of how much efforts I put in my assignment to relate the causal linkages in the assignment. On the other hand, the article reflected my spiritual life that everything has it cause and effect "consequences" after what you have done. It is whether good or bad. Therefore, God will honour us if we honour Him. We should come right with God and be faithful to Him.

As I dealing with 'Balanced Scorecard' (BSC) originated by Kaplan and Norton, it is not only for company to measure it performances or personal scorecard in company. In fact, we can use it to measure your own life. It's not easy to measure and it's complicated. Why? Because human are more complicated than companies. The 4 'quadrants'or perspectives that author developed it may be useful in company but not in human. Therefore we human can design our own performance measure system and claim as IN-HOUSE Balaced Scorecard.
I did not use it fully. But I felt that my mission and vision drawn by my mindset may not come true. Why? Because my vision is so not going to happen. Some experts would say that to be going concern company, you must have mission and vision to develop strategies and use BSC to measure and it may translate to organization strategic goal which help to implement strategies. Oh well.. This means I don't know how to develop good strategies. Argument here is that will mission and vision drawn can be successfully achieved by following the strategies? Sometimes our vision that we set may fail because it's not realistic at all. My mom always say why think so far?why want to think about the future?why you like to dream so much? "I don't even want to think what will happen in future" said my mom. Without dream or goals, how would you want to achieve what you want to achieve? Better don't become human.urghh
This is so disturbing! On the bright sight, maybe this is what the CIMA Strategic Scorecard developed, 'Strategic Options'. There are options in life, if you can't do this choose another one and invest. How? In corporate world, they may use capital budgeting or investment appraisal. But for human?how? How to appraise the person to be your life time partner? Very hard! Harder than use NPV and IRR as tool to appraise. Maybe I should look deeper? I don't know! I should change my vision by choosing another option. Then how to implement it? And how to measure the risk? Adoi.. Balanced Scorecard sangat susah so to human 'BSC'.. It's very complicating!~

Now on Balanced Scorecard vs Business Value Scorecard.
Both also transform from performance measurement to strategic management;in fact, one has cause-effect relationship notion and the other one is on the coherence of the various perspectives is that way to integrate an d coordinate the actions of the various functions and activities of the business as a whole. So what's the difference?
Realised that some of the business models and IT system models can apply into people's lives not in business or IT term but in human character for improvement in many ways.hmm..

Finally!Got offered by STAR Education Fund (scholarship) and I accepted the offer. I never had a dream come true as it is. Without God, I got nothing; by the grace of God, I'm blessed. And I would like to take this opportunity thank to all who have supported me in prayer and in morale. You know who you are. =) Let me tell you a story regarding to my interview...
Scene 1
Went to college with all my unsorted original certificates. Rushed to faculty office and grab a certificates file holder and chuck in my certs accordingly. After that, went to toilet and tie my necktie and went back to office to sit for awhile to calm myself down.
Scene 2
Walked to the waiting room which located opposite of my office. Open the door, I saw two unknown students that I never seen them before in this college. They looked at me and I looked at them. Good Morning! Don't worry, I'm not one of the panels, said me. Took my sit and start my conversation with the two interviewee until they are called. Well waited for half an hour, and they are few more students coming in. So late! Then 1st student was called and went in to the interview room.
Scene 3
The interview lasted 30 minutes. Pecah record! said one of the guy. After few minutes, I was called. Went in and greeted the panels. First question, can you tell us about yourself. Started my answers and then 2nd and 3rd and 4th questions posted. After all, one of them commented, you have a strong recommendation letter from you Dean of faculty and I also can see that your results from SPM and Diploma; your results had a tremendous change ahh..good good.. The rest also said hmm good..good.. Alright thank you Ivan. Stood up and went to the panels and shook their hand and say thanks.
Scene 4
Went back to the waiting room and opened the door.. One of the guys that came early was shocked! WHAT?! 10 mins? LOL...All da best everyone said me!
-To be continued-
The next day
I received a missed call while I was having my class. During the break, went to office and called the number and tut tut tut.. Thank you for calling Star Publication. Please transfer the ext to Star Education Fund please..tut tut..Hello this is Ivan from SEGi College, I got a missed call from you. Yeah you are Ivan Chong right...Congratulation, you have successful in the application for scholarship. Do you want to accept the offer? Yes, I do. Alright let me prepare a contract for you to sign. Please come to our Menara Star to collect after I prepare the contract. Thank you.
-Then End-
WOW! One day only they took to consider me. Not bad not bad. My head of degree told me that she highly recommended me during the consideration..hehe..terima kasih!
Now a good stress added into me. Why? With this scholarship I have to maintain my good results and with this stress, it encourages me to put more efforts in my degree. Fuhh!! Tense.. =)

super tough! Management Accounting and Advanced Financial Accounting. Taxation and Law shouldn't be a problem. Why the two units tough? Cause forgotten what are the treatments for the respective topic. Basically first class was about refreshing your previous knowledge, even that, I can't remember what is what. Die!!!
PRIME COSTS = Direct Material + Direct Labour + Direct Expenses
Production Overheads = Variable O/heads + Fixed O/heads which consist of Indirect Material, Indirect Labour and Indirect Expenses
Both PRIME COSTS + PRODUCTION OVERHEADS = PRODUCTION COSTS + NON PRODUCTION COSTS = TOTAL COST
What are the functions of costing?
Stock valuation, Cost & Pricing, Decision making, Control and Performance measurement
Apa ini semua? Sudah LUPA!!!

Today was the commencement of my course, BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance 3+0, (2+0). As I said, I'm only doing 2 years program starts from year 2. Orientation was darn bored plus the wonderful bored ice breaking session led by student council of the college. They are just lame and just didn't really connect to the pupil like us. This whole thing took about 1hour and had break to usher or watch the coming of lion dance then headed for lunch. Back to college for 2nd part of the day, the program briefing, luckily short and sweet. Here is my timetable:
Monday, 11.30am-2.30pm - Management Accounting (Part 1)
Thursday, 12.00pm-3.00pm - Taxation (Part 1)
3.30pm-6.30pm - Advanced Financial Accounting (Part 1)
Friday, 3.30pm-6.30pm - Business and Company Law (Part 1)
Basically, I got only 3 days of classes. In fact, my real course structure doesn't have the part 1 thingy. Mean these 4 subjects consist of 30 credits each;straight forward and due to our beloved MQA requirement, they made a breakdown on these subjects into part 1 and part 2 or you can call it each subject require to finish in 2 semesters instead of 1 or 4 subjects in 2 semesters. Therefore my schedule is superb weird.hahaha.. Oh yeah! Basically class only starts on the first of March and ends on fourth of June then continue 2nd semester, the part 2. You know what? My final examinations will be on January 2011..urgh..
