Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend just past, and I am very enjoy with my four work days week. I am not a tranditional Canadian, I don't really have family reunion and turkey on my dinner table. However I really like the long weekend because of it.

Thanksgiving is during the fall time, same as this year. My family tradition is to see maple leaves. I pretty much go see maple leaves with family every year around this time. I never feel anything special about it, it comes normal to me. This year, I feel something different. You may not like this kind of boring family trips when you usually have it, but you will feel weird when you don't do it. I am glad I still have a chance to do it, when it is not too late to realize the good.

劇集的聯想

三色台又抄了。不是否認就可以當沒有發生，雖然有不同，但他們還是抄了。把英文翻議成中文，改了些情節，多了幾條感情線，不等於不是抄。抄是可以的，重要是要抄的漂亮，青出於藍而勝於藍才是成功。

新劇讀心神探裡，有些話觸動了我。
我記憶力不好，所以讀書也不太好。但是有一句話是對的，凡是觸動到感情的事物，就永遠不會忘記。記憶力再差，卻不會影響這部分的記憶。一件事，只要動了感情就再也忘不了了。所以說，如果你很用心去作一件事，那件事的所有細節你都應該記得。

還有還有，我真想學學記憶法。

90 days count down

Today is 90 days to my CKE exam in January.

People who did their CA exams before talked about all different kinds of methods and recommendation to help you go through the exam. Hopefully, I would be able to talk about it too. (That means I pass it. =P)
The method I am using right now is keeping a routine. I study an hour from Monday to Thursday in the morning before work, hopefully I absorb more in the morning than the tiring time after work. My goal is to catch up (at least 80%) with all readings and exercise I do in prep program every Sunday. Starting in December, I will take three weeks before my exam to do practice MC questions.


Study tasks to be completed

• read competency map
• carefully reading CICA handbook (accounting and assurance)
• detail studying prep course material
• full understand all MC in prep course material
• review university notes in auditing, tax, accounting and finance
• complete practice MC booklet provided by ICAO
• complete practice MC booklet provided by DCS

now.. I really hope I will be finished all of above in 90 days...

Boring class

It is a surprise my network can finally blog.

I am currently in a CKE prep course right now, topic is governence, strategiy, risk management and IT. This is one of the more boring class I have. She is not organized, contents are all over the place. It is difficult to follow what she is talking about. Also, her tone and voice is very low. Even I recorded her lecture, still hardly can hear it. The worse part is, I am not absorbing anything she is talking about.

This is a bad class and I fell like I am wasting money.The bottom line is, a good lecturer is very important to students.
名师出高徒

I think it is true.

It isn't what I want, but I will take the hard road.

There are things we do not wanna happen, but have to accept; things we don't wanna know, but have to learn; and people we can't live without, but have to let go.

Ultimately, I will understand it better.

Wall Street

Today is challenge at work. I was going to have a nice run at gym and relaxing sauna. Then plan changed when a friend called for movie. The movie is named Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps.

This movie is basically about the financial crisis took place two years ago. The story is not told perfectly, yet it is pretty hard to tell the story prospectively. Everyone has a different point of view. I like Shia Saide LaBeo. I watched his shows since he was a kid, and he improved a lot from his last movie. A kid grew up.

I rate this movie 7 out of 10. The script writer done his homework. Since it is pretty hard to tell a full story, I think it would be better to reflect the whole picture from a smaller story. Apparently, this movie is a redone. I never watched the original one and the story actually happened. 

Is "greed good'? a question raised in the movie.

I personally think greed is a good thing at times. It motivates you. However, a person should know what he wants and what is enough for him. It is good to want money and success. However, money and success should not cost everything of yours. There is always balance in life. Do not regret when it is too late.

My theory is... no one really cares about what you want and how much effort you put in. The process does not really matter. It is all about what others want and how you can provide them. If you can offer their demand, they will supply yours. It is business, it is all about the deal. It is the real world.


Wall Street is a dream for me. One day, I want to live a life in New York City. Or maybe I won't even fit in...

沒有周末了

前段時間較忙，雖然累但也充實。
上個禮拜開始就再沒有周末了。原來，每星期天上八小時課是很辛苦的。很多年都沒有試過了，大學一星期才十五小時課，中學我是三點半放學的。原來，上八小時課比上八小時把班要辛苦。人老了，真的不像以前那麼吸收了。
