Officially a Tarcian, =)

Okay, after several thoughts (Ok ok, change that to LOOOONG and MUCH thoughts), I have decided (FINALLY MAN!!) to take up accountancy. Well, for those who doesn't know, I've already been in a major dilemma ever since the end of last year. About what? I'd say it's about my future. Throughout this 1/2 year, I've been asking myself, seeking for others' advice until they got fed up, asked Baba etc etc whether should I take accountancy or chemical engineering. Well, many would wonder, wow, these 2 courses are very distinct from each other, how did they end up in your top 2 career list? Okay, since this is my blog, entitled "The Place Where I Can Talk, Talk and Talk", I would not tell any lies then. Honestly, when I choose a career, I automatically think of $$$. Now tell me, whoever in this world doesn't work for the sake of money? Okay, a minor minor minority would declare proudly :"I work not for money, I work because I'm interested in my job!" Well, if you were born in an average family like me, who worry over financial plight and economic crisis, you wouldn't have not worry about money problem. (Man, how many times have I gone off-topic in my last few posts? Never mind, I bet this would not be the last time... And I swear, this off-topic thingy was not planned, at all! It's just that, before I start a topic, I should start a well, pre-topic first, but I can't control from crapping, terribly.. Since I'm half way through, I might as well continue)

So... I heard that the 2 careers I've had in mind can let you earn big money, well, provided that you are a member of the ACCA if you were to choose accountancy. So I cracked up my mind to make an option, but to no avail obviously, until now. My chemical engineer cousin sister told me that if I wanna earn big money, engineer is not the way, and one of Jing Mei's aunty also told me that it has always been a custom for arts stream students to make more money than science stream ones, except doctors of course. So.... Here I am! Signed up for accountancy in Tar College, which brings us to today's topic, I'm officially a Tarcian!

TarC is a pretty good place to study in, I would admit. And I've got a full tuition fee waiver, that means I do not have to pay a cent! Well, except registration fees etc etc... haha, not trying to boast here. It has the facilities alright. An Olympic-sized swimming pool, not that I'll swim there anyway, I'm too afraid of exposing my fats in public, hahaha! I had actually thought of entering Sunway University instead before entering TarC, because I heard that its ACCA papers are more, like, original. But only overseas companies will look so deeply into these stuffs, and since both TarC and Sunway are the Platinum Award holders for accountancy, they're both good. PLUS, I am not financially eligible into Sunway, lol, I just simply do not have enough $$$. And the food there are so expensive, as told by Guan Rou (a student there), and do you know that you can have a meal in Tarc at only RM1.90?? Lol, I can save up so many bucks by just studying in TarC.

I'll be starting lectures classes this week. Last week's orientation was okay. I didn't attend the Human Monopoly Game, and I heard that it was very fun, sigh, missed it. Hope I can catch up with the accounting syllabus, as I did not take this subject in my secondary education, except a little during Kemahiran Hidup in Form 3. But almost half of the accounting students in TarC have no base too, so I guess it's okay. And you know what, just accounting itself has already got a total of approximately 800 students! Can you imagine! It takes up about 60% to 70% of the School Of Business Studies! Just like the PR course takes up about 70% of the School of Social Science and Humanities. Lol, I've heard that there are lots and plentiful of accountants in this world, but that's not my aim. My aim is to pass all the ACCA papers and be the official member of the Association of Certified Charted Accountants! Even the name is so grand, hahaha!

Okay, I think that's all, although I rarely write in my blog, but I sure write A LOT whenever I've got the chance, so, watch out for more!
