was kinda sick on that day itself.. den college hall, blardy cold..

cant really answer some Q also.. nub =p

btw, jus a reminder for u coursemate, bring jacket, wear long sleeve shirts and long pants!

also, last but not least, bring only black pen, no blue pen is allowed!

jiaaa you!

and thanks for the advice on CMMI, will hav a look later!

^Yea,those that u know what's coming out (groups,blah blah) just keep posting stuff collecting easy marks. Pretty much what I did. (thought I was gonna fail 2.5,fortunately I passed )

F7 last paper , cant wait.

I think Menon did mentioned about doing Q1,Q2 and Q3 fast so that
there's extra time for Q4 & 5, which I think she has a point coz Q4 & 5
are the toughest as it is random unlikely Q1,2 & 3.

when it states just 'P2' alone in the timetable, it means both lecturers (Joe Fang & Keith Farmer) have class of their own on that day itself. that's the KSA style, both lecturers run on the same day, pretty interesting isn't it? therefore it's clearly stated.

wah. u taking 5 papers ??  

for p2, last time i got see his notes, quite excellent.

u cannot take p1 at last and complete option 1st unless u take at same sitting after u pass ur p2 and p3 ma..

and it is not advisable to attend class then sit exam later

coz sometime lecturer focus will be more to that sitting...

ya,last time still got IT paper easier to pass..now it is all got standard liao..all also quite hard to pass liao..

so if cannot afford,don try to take 4 papers together esp u in part 3..

seriously consider abt section 2 wangsa maju especially block B or G... becoz they are nearer to PUTRA LRT WANGSA MAJU which you may comfortably depend on it to bring you to KL (MASJID JAMEK STATION)/(PASAR SENI STATION) which after you take off from train 15 mins walk will take you to kasturi, ftms, kolej bandar, segi and mcorange. the train frequency will not be disappointing you. 

breakfast, lunch and dinner is not a worry as there is DESA SETAPAK which is oso very near to PUTRA LRT WANGSA MAJU consist of many food stall which provide you economy rice with affordable price (lee loke or moon fatt-shop name). of coz there is variety of noodle stall available which give you choices of wanton mee, fishball mee, curry mee, pan mee, yee mee lots lots more. others like "curry chee cheong fun" is very popular especially for breakfast.

mamak stall is oso a hit in wangsa maju  BRJ offer variety of dishes like roti canai, nasi kandar, nasi lemak even western food.

there is a stationery shop which the owner sometime will give you discount. i always buy test pad from that shop last time. in front of this shop, there is a board which most of the TARC student will check on which hse or room available for rent. 

there is plenty of optical shop and seriously many many many hair salon 

miscellaneous shop ( 7-11, watson, guardian, living cabin, computer shop, photo shop and clinic)

extra information** for leisure purposes
1) Shopping mall JAYA JUSCO ALPHA ANGLE which contain varieties of brand like padini group, samuel and kelvin, watson, guardian, hush puppies.....

2) Hypermarket CARREFOUR which is situated a bit further in section 4 or 5 selling fresh vege, fruit...there is
    pos office there too

hopefully this will help

ok ya price for one room i guess is around rm300 better share with someone lor

Tax u need lots of reading and application of coz in addition, practice..practice questions which same with all acca papers, just that tax u need to spend most of the time reading on the legislation and also the tax case law,the rational behind each of the case i.e similar to paper F4/2.2
if im not mistaken,few years back there is a question on 3.2 regarding the decision behind the case i.e Ketua pengarah Vs xxxx, so u need to justify why does the decision are taken also know the proper format way of calculating, so memorising the computation of each tax is essential,coz u have to follow the rule of calculating it,cannot use alternative or ur own way, which differs from P4 where calculation can be used in any way (except if they are to use i.e. Black Scholes model,CAPM) which u must derived to the correct answer. of coz both subject is cumbersome to learn, but depends on ur style, if u like bind by/follow rules...tax would be ideal or P4 if u are freestyle yet financial issues and deep understanding or each financing approach u should concern on, at the end of the day, regardless which paper u take in optional, the main point is that finish ACCA, the specialised thing can be worried later,which u will be taught or trained during work or experience based..

anyone attended Joe Fang's P2 class ? is his teaching style same as F7?
does he put more emphasis on standards and theory ?

Besides , does P1 similar to audit paper? is it studying with audit lecturer will be better ?

i'm also taking 4 papers.

P2- this sitting confirmed failed already. plan to self study or attend 2nd term
P3- parmindar FT
P4- chan tze kang PT
P5- chow kim tai PT

next sitting is the last sitting my parents to pay for my fees. after that no matter i pass or fail i will have to start working and survive on my own. that's why i must study kao kao start from January!

yeah i took F8, P1 and P2 in Dec 07 sitting. think should be able to pass F8 and P1. so 4 papers left lo. sekali gus gao dim it then come out work. old liao...family giving pressure le
