UUM Practicum Result Releasing

Yesterday, I received a message from my friend telling me that we can now check our practicum result.
Soon after I got home, I turned on my laptop to check about it.
But, it took me half an hour time.

When I logged in to UUM portal and clicked for the result checking,
it required me update my information.

After I click to update it, a trouble popped up.

I was using Google Chrome to surf it.
Then I changed to Firefox.

It still the same.
I really have to use Internet Explorer to surf it.
It has been a long time I didn't use it.
Luckily my Internet Explorer version is 6.0.

Then, I successfully got into the result page.
Another problem, it was empty.

After a while, I knew that I can check out from profile there.



Yea. I found it.
But, another problem.

My practicum result doesn't really appear.
But my GPA and CGPA were updated.
Therefore, I need to count it back, and deduct the total marks for my other papers that I have taken previously in order to know my practicum result.

Finally I got it.
But I am not sure is that really the way to know my practicum result.

Anyway, another question comes up on my mind.
When will be my convocation.

My friends say that it is going to be on October this year.

Is it true? I hope so.

Practicum Report Is Completed

Finally, I finished my practicum report.
It's the day that I am waiting for so long!
I am completely free now!

I passed my report to my friend today.
He is going to UUM to pass it up for me on this coming Sunday.
Thanks to him.





Honestly, I don't really put effort in doing this report.
I just want to submit it.
I just wish to pass my practicum.
I don't target for good result for it.
My practicum score won't really affect my final result,
so I don't really care about it.
What I want, is just a PASS.

Good luck to all my coursemates for your practicum reports as well!

My Practicum: The Thought of Giving Up

As the beginning was so tough, I did almost give up my practicum.

Third day of my practicum (if I don't remember wrongly),
I told my parents that I wanted to give up.
And we actually had some quarrel.
And since then, our relationship got worse again.
My relationship with my parents had actually recovered last y.ear.
But now, it went back to be like last time.

A lot of people were asking me not to give up.
My parents brought me to meet a person.
She gave me advise and asked me not to give up.
She was also the ones who asked me to continue my study after Form 6.
Is she a person that has helped me? I would like to say NOT.

Well, I didn't give up at the end.
But, is my decision to continue my practicum the right ones?

I guess most of the people would say that it's the right one.

But I would like to say, it perhaps not.

Yea, I didn't give up, and I manage to get my degree.
But in this journey, I lost a lot of things.
Too much things I have lost.

Whether my decision is right or wrong, perhaps we may not know.
It's what life to be. There is no right nor wrong in various types of decision.
To argue on right or wrong, it's an argument that will not end.

So, no argument, let's continue living.

My Practicum: The Very Beginning

I remembered that the life was really tough at the beginning of my internship life.
I knew nothing about auditing in practical.
In theory, perhaps I know from book. But in practical, I was new.
I never involved myself in auditing before.

Before I started my internship life, I didn't thought that the life was that tough.
In one exam last semester, I met my friend Edmund in toilet.
He knew I was going to have my internship in Tham & Co.
He told me that I can talk to a person, Mr. Lee, regarding stock market.
So, I was actually a little bit looking forward to it before I entered Tham & Co.

Before I started to work in Tham & Co, I did actually visit there.
Due to the flood, our final exam for last semester was delayed, and our practicum period was postponed as well.
So, I went there to inform them.
That moment, I had already seen that my boss looks unfriendly.
From that onwards, I started to feel worrying.

But what to do, I had to continue this path.

On the first day of my practicum, I felt quite nervous.
I wonder what was going to happen as I had no idea on what actually I need to do.
That day, my lecturer posted something on my wall told me better watch out.
Then I knew working in Tham & Co is tough.
It made me feel even worry.

It was 8.45a.m., the time to start working.
I was given a file on a company to have a look.
I still didn't anything, I felt worry.

After the boss reached office, he called me in, together with another 2 internship trainees.
He gave us lecture.

The first week is really tough.
I kept asking colleagues what should I do.
I have to thank to Miss Tan.
She taught me a lot.
Sometimes, I felt sorry on disturbing her always.
Luckily she is a nice person, or else I think I may get scolded.

My Practicum (1)

Look at the photo.
It is a very messy table, isn't it?

Where is it?

Honestly, it is my seat in the firm I have my practicum in.

Opps, no no.
It should be, 'it WAS my seat in the firm I HAD my practicum in.'

Let's congratulate me for finishing my internship!

Today, I no longer to go work at the messy seat anymore.
Haha. It's really messy ya.
I used to be complained by my colleague, Ong, on my messy table.
His table and mine were really different.
His table is tiny.
Sometimes I asked him, 'how can you keep your table to remain tiny?'
He did asked me back too, 'how can you work in a messy table?'

Perhaps, I need a larger table.

One question, do I miss my practicum life?

Seriously, I do actually feel a little bit missing it, especially some of the moment together with my colleagues.
(I will post more about it, I guess I will post up to 10 posts on 'My Practicum')
My colleagues were actually asking me to stay in the firm longer.
However, they know also that it's impossible.
I had been waiting for so long for today, the day of leaving my firm.
I seriously feel very stressful working over there.
I think I will go crazy if I continue.
Is it so serious? For me, it is.
This job isn't suitable for me.

During my practicum, I couldn't focus on my investment.
I used to be out-dated.
Never mind, it's over now.
Today, LuPorTi is back to stock market again!
Woohoo!

I guess I feel so excited of it.
Last night, I couldn't really sleep.
This morning, I woke up very early, and it's hard for me to sleep back again.
I am too excited, ain't I?

Well, stop here first, more update about my practicum next time.

The Final 2 Days

Finally, I am so close to the exit.
I have 2 more days to go.
Tuesday will be my final day of my internship.
After that, I am free.
I am going back to my life.

Internship life is kinda torturing me.
I am in stress most the time.
Now, the time has finally reached.

Two more days ya.
I hope that these two days will be very smooth, without any big trouble.

What will I do after my intern?
Of course, I will put more focus on my investment.
Other than that, I am lazy to write about it at this moment.
What a lazy blogger, right?

Wish me good luck ya!

22 Working Days To Go To Finish My Practicum

Finally, it's the final month of my practicum.

Still long to go?
Haha. I want to say it's still long to go.

Long time I didn't post about my practicum, here is it again.

Yesterday, my boss ask me one critical question.
He asked me whether want to continue working in the firm or not.
I told him I am leaving Penang for 3 months once after my practicum end.
He told me that he could raise my paid if I want to continue.
Well, for me, it's not the matter of paid, it's the matter I want or not.
I feel quite tired of such life anymore. I want my life back.
I posted previously on my plan after my practicum, and I believe I will stick to the plan.
I am going to live in the way I want to!

My boss asked me to consider and let him know if I want to continue.
Perhaps, I won't say that it's impossible for me to stay in the firm.
Just, the possibility may be as low as 1%.

Why should we continue the path which we hate and suffer,
while we actually have the choice to walk in the journey we wish to?

Say Good Bye To My Colleagues

I have given up posting about my practicum day by day.
I felt tired of it, tired of posting, and tired of working.

There are 30 more working days to go.

You may say, it's very little to go, right?

Unfortunately, I feel that it's still long time to go.

Time's fast when I work.
Now even worse, two of my colleagues have finished their internship training.
Last Thursday is their last day of working in our firm.

Three of us used to have our lunch together.
When we were having lunch, we like to complain this and that.
Now, I have to have my lunch myself.
I turned to be lonely.

In office, one of them sat in front of me while the other sat beside me.
Now, in front of me and also beside me are empty seats.
That really makes me feeling so lonely.
I wish that time can pass faster.

After working last Thursday,
We went to have dinner together as a farewell party to both of them.



Jeff and Chow,
may you both continue doing well in your coming days!

Keep in touch ya!

Wish to see you both again soon!

Practicum Day 88 (A Bad Day)

It's a bad day!

It rains heavily this morning.
I know that there was going to be heavy traffic, so I got out earlier.
However, it didn't seem useful.
The traffic had started to jam.
It took me more than 1 and half hour to reach my office.
And I was late to office for more than half hour!

Due to the heavy traffic, I got off from my dad's van at a farther place and rushed to office.
On the way, 2 bad things happened.
Firstly, my bag was broken.
Secondly, I was almost knocked by a car.
It was so close!
If I move a quarter second faster, I guess I would be in hospital now.

Things didn't look good the whole day.
My colleagues went out for statutory audit.
I felt lonely in office.
I had to have my lunch alone.

At the end of the day of working,
my client phoned me and complained me.
What the hell!
She was the one making the account troublesome and delayed everything.
Now, I am the one get scolded by her?
What to do. She is the client.
As people always say, 'customer is always right'.

Things continue to be bad after my work.
I rushed to buy something to eat and rushed to bus stop.
I had badminton to play at night.
Unfortunately, I didn't know why, the buses were so few.
Even worse, all the buses passed were full.
What's going on!?

At the end, I phone up my friend to ask him to get my things from my home.
I started to walk to Riffle Range (the place we play badminton).

Bad thing continued.
There was a path that thought it was a short-cut.
I walked in.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the way that I could get to my destination.
So, I had to walk out from that path and walked on the main road again.

Why yesterday is such a bad day to me?

Luckily, I enjoyed yesterday's badminton, or else, I think I am feeling so bad and angry now.

Practicum Day 87

If you notice, yesterday was 38 days remaining in my blog.
How come today become 36 days? It should be 37 days, isn't it?

Today, I asked my colleague about whether will labor day holiday replaced on Monday.
Happily, their answers are YES!
So, the remaining day reduces by 1 day.
It's a good news!

I am still worrying about my current tasks that have been completed.
As long as it hasn't been approved, I wouldn't stop worrying.
Or I should say, as long as I haven't finished my internship, I will be worrying.

Currently, I have one task that has been partially approved and three that haven't been approved.
I hope there is no problem and will be approved soon.

One good thing for today, I received my salary for April.
It came at the right time.
I need money now, and it came.
Now I have money to spend again.

It's Friday tomorrow, the day I am waiting for every week.
As these few weeks, I am going to play badminton on tomorrow's night.
I couldn't wait the moment to come.
I can play badminton again!
I can meet my primary schoolmates again!
Woohoo!

36 days to go, 29.3% remaining.

Practicum Day 86

I am waiting for a confirmation letter. Unfortunately, it hasn't reached yet.
I hope it would be reach faster.

Some people came to our office for statutory.
Surprisingly, that's my friend!
I was surprised, very surprised!
I never thought someone I know came to my office for statutory audit.
We had lunch together.

Today, an issue started.
My colleagues started to apply for study leave for their examination.
Since it's peak period now, my boss didn't really want to approve their applications.
As I know, last year, the argument is a little serious, where some colleagues left the firm.
Will it happen again this year?
Don't know yet.
We can wait and see.

But for me, I think it's better to approve the application than losing them.

Let's counting down again, 38 working days to go.....

Practicum Day 84 & 85

I was feeling extremely down on Sunday night.
I thought that this week might be a terrible week for me.
Will it really be a terrible week for me, I will know it after 3 days.

I have some tasks to be rushed.
It's the final week for April, my colleagues and I are now rushing to complete those task that dues this month.
I have a client started to rush me in these 2 weeks.
I feel so tired of that client.
Now, my boss wanted me to wait for a confirmation.
I hope I receive the confirmation tomorrow, or else that task will not be completed on time.

Confirmation is really making me tired as well.
I had just received a confirmation last Friday after waiting for a long time.
Yesterday and today, I made calls to ask for confirmation.
Confirmation, confirmation and confirmation, it's tiring.
I have to say again, I SERIOUSLY TIRED OF MY WORK!

Another client went to our office today to ask for explanation of adjustment.
Luckily, there wasn't any problem happened.
The explanation session went through smoothly.
Or else, I will be complaining about it here.

Today in work, I felt so tired and a little bit sick.
My nose 'ha-chew' and 'ha-chew'.
Two packets of tissue paper weren't enough for me.
During the lunch time, I went to petrol station to buy 4 packets of tissue paper.

Luckily, my 'ha-chew' had stopped.
Or else, I am not updating my blog now, I am probably laying on bed now.

Monday Blue Again, This Week Is Going To Be A Terrible Week

It's going to be Monday again tomorrow.
I couldn't stop myself from feeling sad when Monday Blue is approaching.

I have been trying a lot of ways to get myself from having a bad mood on Sunday.
I know that there are many friends have been trying to cheer me up, but I guess I have disappointed them a lot.

I went out with my primary schoolmates today.
Initially, we were having a nice moment.
We went several place before going back to my friend's house again at about evening.
We were playing a new card game introduced by a friend.
Initially, we were happy playing it.
I felt enjoyed.

But don't know why, suddenly my mood was getting worse.
Until the last few games, my mood was really down even my friend completely noticed it.
In few turns, my friend purposely didn't want to attack on me, which they actually should.
I know they notice my mood and scared my mood got worse, so they avoided from attacking me.
I really appreciate them.
But I feel so sorry on them.
My bad mood made the whole environment to become bad.
I can see that they weren't enjoying as previous games.
I really feel sorry to them, and also all my friends who have been supporting.

FRIENDS,

THANK YOU!

AND SORRY!

Practicum Day 81, 82 & 83

I seem to be getting lazier.
Previously I update my practicum posts everyday.
Later on, I updated it once every two day.
See now? I update 3 days in one posts.

Actually, I don't really know what to say about my practicum already.
I started feeling tired of complaining.
It doesn't seem helpful.

In these three day, my motivation dropped again.
Even worse, I got call from a client on Friday.
That client account was troublesome.
Now, I am require something from them which they haven't complete for me.
Its account due date is near and now they start to rush me and blame me.
Hello, if you all provide a good collaboration, I will not make the account late for the due date!

I am really feeling completely tired dealing with clients.
I don't know how to express my feeling now.
I feel so unhappy and stressful.

2 months to go, I am getting out from this! It's the day I am waiting for so long!

Practicum Day 79 & 80

How to describe these two days?
The PHONE CALL day!

I was on phoned for many times these two day. Clients kept calling me.

There is a company I have just finished everything yesterday.
The directors. bookkeeper and the auditor of the parent company called me many times, asking me whether when can I sent them the copy of financial statement.
I think I am on phone with them about 10 times in these two days.

Then, another company. I phoned the bookkeeper up for some problems.
And then, we were updating each other by phone call.

Lastly, a company that I have finished and waiting for approval.
The client phone me up to ask for plenty of question.

The second and third clients are okay. They are quite friendly. I am willing to discuss with them.
But the first one, it made me headache.
The account is troublesome and it delayed my job for a lot!
Now, they are rushing me.
They are making me crazy!

Perhaps, tomorrow is going to be another crazy.

44 days to go, 35.5% remaining.

Practicum 77 & 78

Another 2 days passed, there are 46 working days remaining.
As usual, I feel that it's still long to go.

I finished finalizing another company (except taxation part),
and I asked my boss to write about the qualified opinion.
That company has the most audit qualification opinion that I never met so far.
It's also the first disclaimer opinion that I met.
Those who has studied audit should know what's it mean by disclaimer opinion.
It's a very terrible opinion on the company where auditor couldn't give any comment on it.
That company actually lost its document in a fire.
That's why we give disclaimer opinion.
I couldn't verify a lot of transaction.

Beside that company (finished on Thursday),
I tried to finished another ones on Friday.
That company is also another troublesome company.
There was a problem on expired stock where I didn't know how to settle it,
where I made the account unbalanced.
Fortunately, I made it balanced at the end after discussing with the senior.

I feel so tired dealing with troublesome companies.
I hope my practicum will be over soon, as usual.

46 days to go, 37.1% remaining.

Practicum 75 & 76

I was away last night, I went out with my primary schoolmates until late night.
Again, the gathering was great.

Perhaps, I should update my practicum post once every 2 days, or maybe once a week?

Those who have my Facebook maybe notice my profile picture.
I use my profile picture in Facebook as another tool of counting down.
I will change my profile from time to time to show the days remaining for my practicum.
Great idea?

Nothing special really happened yesterday.

But today,
my boss's mood was really bad.
He scolded people.
Worst, he scolded his wife.
The words came out from his mouth were really terrible.
How could he scold his wife like this.

I admire his wife, how could she stand his attitude for such a long time.
If I am his wife, I will leave him for sure!

I actually had things to ask my boss today.
But, since his mood was terrible today, I didn't dare enough to ask him.

He always spoil my mood.

I am just waiting the time to pass.
After 10 weeks, I will be completely a free guy.
I am looking forward to that day.

Practicum 73 & 74

I didn't update my blog for practicum on last Friday.
Normally, I update on Sunday night, but I didn't update it last night.
This weekend passed quite fast.
And it's nice weekend. I will blog about it in my next post.

I didn't really remember what have I done last weekend.
If talking about today, I actually didn't really know what have I done as well.
I feel like I did nothing like that.
I feel like I am just a robot in my work.
I am just waiting the time passes minute by minute.

Oh ya! I remember one thing!
My colleagues and I went for lunch together, 10 of us.
We went the coffee shop last week and planned to have chicken rice.
Unfortunately, that stall was closed that day.
Luckily, it was open today, and we had our lunch there.

By the way, my UUM supervisor have aproved my topic for my final report.

50 days to go, 40.3% remaining.

Practicum Day 72

Tomorrow is Friday again! A day that I am waiting for!

I passed my log books together with another 2 colleagues for my boss to sign.
Nowadays, my colleagues and I were passing up our log books together.
About 4 weeks later, I need to pass up by myself, they are finishing their internship.
Now we were getting close. We had our lunch together every day.
After they leave, I couldn't eat with them anymore.
Perhaps I need to eat myself for most of the time.

Today, I actually planned to phone four clients.
But suddenly, our boss asked for a lecture.
After the lecture, it was late.
At the end, I phoned only one client.
I need to phone tomorrow.

I almost finished two more companies,
just, there were some matter to be settled.
Perhaps, I would finished 4 companies for this month.
For some friends of mine may say that 4 companies aren't many.
But with my current mood and pace, 4 companies are considered as a lot.

I can break again tomorrow!
No, I shouldn't say break. I should say, I back to my life again.

52 days to go, 41.9% remaining.

Practicum Day 71

Today, my friend told me that he had 10 days remaining.
I feel so jealous on him. He is going to finish his internship soon.
How about me? Still long to go, I have to work for 53 days more.

My colleagues were planning to have chicken rice as lunch.
A gang of us, 10 people if I am not wrong, walked to the shop that they planned to eat.
Unfortunately, when we reached there, the chicken rice stall was closed.
Too bad, we were so unfortunate.
Luckily there was other thing to eat. Or else, we were wasting our energy to talk there.

I was really not in mood to work for my practicum.
Today, my client came our office and brought things to me.
My colleague asked me whether was there any other things I need.
I told him that nothing else.
After the client left, then only I realised that there were something else I need.
I always missed out things.
Not only today, I am used to missing out few questions when I phone up client to ask them some questions.
What's my mind doing during my work?
I just can say that I am not paying full attention.
My mood isn't really in work.
My mind isn't really working.
And I don't like to work there.

Recently, there are people asking me that what's my plan after my practicum.
Perhaps, I will post about it during this weekend.

Counting down again, 53 days to go, 42.7% remaining.
