mara is the one at shamelin is it? cheras there right?

u can take STAR lrt to pandan jaya station... then cross the river (dun worry, no need to swim, got bridge 1), then u can walk to the bus stop.. when u r at the bus stop, look to ur right.. there should be a bridge(very big one, for cars to cross the river ) .. walk towards that direction and u'll see GMI (German Malaysian Institute).. u'll see a traffic light, Mara is just at the junction..

the journey should take less than 5 mins of walk from the lrt station.

in my firm, results doesn't really play a role in determining ur wages, bcos it's all fixed .. at the beginning..ACCA affliate get same pay with the degree holders.. then later on performance will kick in and the one who performed better will get slightly higher increment and bonus.. my salary is above 2k exclusive of travelling allowance which if i work in damansara or somewhere far from my office, it'll be able to cover my car installment as well as petrol.. good eh

i disagree with the PwC comment, u do not have to be a book prize winner or distinction student to get in.. there are plenty of weak people in there.. some with even poor english just try.. u might be able to get in =)

P/S. i'm certainly not a distinction student and not a prize winner..



anyway, this was a question i pose to my office training department staff who was in charge of ACCA, she has confirmed with MIA that once we get our 3 yrs experience, we will get CA recognition..

hehe when and where is the graduation this time? i spent almost 1k to attend the graduation + photo.. damn bloody expensive.. but was worth it. haha.. after all the years of studying, 1k is nothing

where r u working again ar? hehe.. if it's medium/small firm,.. it's expected to 1 leg kick isnt it haha

well i do agree that commercial line does appreciate professional qualification (ACCA etc) more compared to degree.. u do not wish to disclose in public? maybe can disclose to me tru pm? lol.. i really would want to know what are the "dark secrets".. actually in my opinion, P isnt really a great place to be.... there are better place out there i believe.. so dont worry if u guys are not part of it..

hmm public practice.. ok.. i dunno.. i only know i'll get CA after 3 yrs..

the graduation is a money sucking mechanism.. just like wedding.. everything is more expensive.. and about membership fees, most firm sponsor that and most firm will pay u higher once u r a member, i.e. QUALIFIED.. my firm pay a significantly higher amount of pay if we are members..

yes mandarin will be an advantage.. u believe ur english is good enough, bcos i've seen worse in my firm.. cannot even really communicate >.<

yes, can cover car installment and petrol.. but that's working in damasara etc area which are far from my office la.. if work in places like KLCC, which i did for 2 months, i made loss .. cannot cover my petrol even.. LOL so.. it depends where u travel to..

Crowne Plaza Mutiara only ar? so cacat liao 1 this time? they r getting worse.. PWTC to shangri-la to crowne mutiara.. zzzzz.. yet the fees are still so expensive ... money sucking ACCA..

oh no higher pay gua? then ma very sad? :'(

in terms of prestige for graduation ceremony, PWTC>Shangri-la>Crowne Plaza Mutiara.. lol.. in my opinion la

i dunno bout other big firms, but i think P only appreciate qualification 1st, then experience next..

aihh.. so sad ar? why? convo is like once in a life time

hi.. dun worry, 2.1 n 2.2 are those paper in ACCA which u can just memorise and pass.. especially 2.2 they r very repetitive in terms of questions.. do lots of past years questions.... 2.1 is quite ok 1.. parminder is it? u should be able to make it if he's teaching.. heard his tips quite accurate

hi nv take 3.3 .. so cannot help u.. but 3.2 syllabus is very wide.. very hard to tell u where to focus on unless u want to rely on tips.. u have to read student accountant.. usually there's a sure question based on the article which is printed.. u have to be overall good in 3.2 syllabus area in terms of understanding and application.. maybe do more questions helps..
