CFA.. Hwaiting!!!

I had enrolled myself into Charted Financial Analyst (CFA) course today.

Getting to know the word CFA is from Shin E, I would like to thank you her very much. Without her, I wouldn’t know there is such a thing exists. 

Goooogle-ing around, climbing pages of comments in forums and asking friends’ opinions (thanks Ally C) and I came to the decision. I didn’t want to think too much as afraid of I am not going to work it out. Since it is a good thing, I would like to give it a best try.

A brief intro of CFA. It is a professional certificate in finance. It consists of 3 levels and its passing rate is damn low. The challenging of the papers has attracted my attention! Yes, this is what I want.

People always posted question on me why I wanted to study CFA. 

The reasons are:

1. I want to get more knowledge. =.= (Whacked by my most of the questioners because they don’t believe that) Well, I myself also wouldn’t believe that if someone answers me like that.

2. Of course to increase my value la!! Study so hard on Sunday for what? Of course for $$$$ la!! Hehe.

3. Third is I would like to join investment bank in the future like the wall street guys. You are my idols!!

4. I want to increase my earning power to the next stage!

To study hard, I need to have some motivation. Let me write down my motivation here so that whenever I am lazy, I will go through this post again.

1. I still remember my first ever post in this blog is to have a Honda Civic – Honda, the power of dreams. It is my motivation 2 years ago. Unfortunately I lost my motivation recently! =P Since everyone is looking forward, I have no choice but to set my next target as BMW 5 series or Mercedes Benz (Nowsaday, Mercedes looks great dy!). I prefer executive car more than sport car due to its comfort.

2. I still remember I said in one of my post that I don’t want to eat at food court in the future. I really mean it and no kidding at all. However, due to the financial ability now, still not achievable yet. I really wish that it will come true.  However, wishing is not enough, need to work it out!! Let me share a bit, just had my lunch with my family at Dragon-I yesterday. I paid RM150 for the bill. That’s mean I need to have high income to sustain my expenses.  Okay, my second motivation.

3. $$$$! Well, someone would say that money can’t buy everything. Yes I agree but if you don’t have money you would have nothing. My 2 cent/sense (Don’t know why they call it in that way, why not 2 ringgit =P), those who say that are those who didn’t suffer from broke before when the money in the pocket is less than RM10.  Increase my standard and market value so that I am sellable in the future.

4. JH, you need to buy FIXED ASSETS ah. Okay, roger that. 

Well, I think that’s it for now. IF you would like to take CFA, do let me know, as we can study together. ;) TO MOTIVATE YOU ALL A BIT, today my classmates mostly are fresh graduates. People are working and spend their ‘supposed to have fun’ Sunday to study. Sometimes, we need to be kiasu a bit (That’s how Singapore grows and everyone would like to work there).

Graduated!

.
.
.

The day I made my parents proud.

The day I achieved a mile stone in my life.

The day I officially declared myself no longer a full time student.

The day I am going to start missing my classmates. 

The day I am going to start missing my afternoon nap. =P

The day I was looking long enough since foundation year.

It’s my graduation day! Finally, I graduated and I can earn my salary already! 

During the orientation week when I was in the foundation year, people was talking senior A is a top student with CGPA … and his gorgeous girl friend is a top student too with CGPA  …. (wwhhaaoooo) and then that senior also got high CGPA and that senior too. Those seniors look smart. Some said it was very difficult to get CGPA above 3.80. Those seniors are really ‘the geng’ or godlike. They got great job offers before the final semester. 

As a newbie, it looks like the curriculum in University is very hard, those professors are insane and to graduate with good grade it seems like a distance of sky to reach. From that day onward, I set a target for myself – to study hard and obtain flying color result. Well, a student should do that as it is the responsibilities of a student.  

I still remember the night with Keith when we talked about our future at our hostel. I said: “5 years to go and 5 years I will be “stuck” at this place, it is a very long way to go.” I really dislike the feeling at that moment. I really dislike the feeling of having to wait for so long and the time is moving very slowly. At that time, I emo alittle bit. =P

University life – DOTA! However, being so noob until scolded by Jason Lee. (T.T)  I don’t want to play already! 

I hate the government at that time (now also =P) as they cancelled the exemption for first class honor. I went for scholarship and obtained YTL and Genting offers. Why did I choose Genting? It’s simple, Genting gave me RM4000.00 more. It sounds ridiculous but it is true. My dad said both are equivalent the same and I have to decide myself.

One more thing I dislike UNITEN is it is a boy school! Haiz, it is difficult to get to know a girl! (May be it is my problem as not being working hard enough for it) My other classmates all have to ‘hunt’ outside. You see, when my friends from another colleges told me that almost every guy got a girl friend in his class and they have a lot of options. I was so envy!!! Arrgghh! Should study business!! =P

As I typed until here, a lot of memories came across my mind. I think better to keep it in my heart. 

Okay, my achievement in UNITEN is being the top student in ME (but I don’t have girl friend yet like my seniors four years back). First class, yeah, I got it, piece of cake (Just kidding). =P 

My first award from Uniten.

My second award. I simply like the name of this award. hehe.

MBA

.
.
.
.

I just received an offer letter from UNITEN to study MBA. Why MBA? This is because the limit is up to the sky for business. I am thinking whether to take it at this moment or not.

Currently I am appointed as a Condition Monitoring Engineer in Genting Energy. I am the only one in the newly formed department which I have to set up all the procedures and techniques for condition monitoring. What is condition monitoring? It is a predictive maintenance; we continuously monitor the health of the plant to minimize the break down time and to ensure failure could be predicted at the early stage.

A decision made will result great changes in everything and of course commitment for 2 years. I have to consider my financial status. No more using my parents’ hard earn money, but my own hard earn money. RM 22,468++ from my own pocket. Should I take it?

I would like to express my gratitude here to my Final Year Project supervisor Prof. Dr. Ir. Ramesh for giving an A and the guidance of life to me so that I can increase my CGPA. Thank you. =)
