Comments:
My 2011 was a very special year, full of surprise, full of challenges.
I lost almost all my cash in the first quarter of the year due to a series of wrong investment decisions and lack of knowledge to the market. School fees were paid and was painful.
However, I received the best gift ever in 2011 and she is definitely going to be my wife in the future.
Exams are also very unhealthy, I lost weight, I had insomnia, I had headache… 19 exams in a year is probably too much…
I also failed to attend many dinners and gatherings over the year.
Back to the plan, accounting is a lot more difficult than I expected, or I am probably too dumb for this specialisation. My sprite gone fishing in accounting classes and I slept so well reading accounting books. Notes are clean as new. More effort is required to achieve CPA.
Making a change is not easy too, I have been giving myself too many excuses to delay my plan to get in a CPA firm. This may not be the right way to go, but is certainly beneficial to my forensic dream.
Something worth mentioning, my areas of knowledge in Healthcare Information System and High Frequency Trading had been widely extended. I don’t have a plan to make them my primary business now, but they are serious moneymaking skills.
With 2 major professionalism target not being met and I failed to gain weight. I could have rated my performance in 2011 a fail. But the extra experience in other area compensated a bit. I give myself a low pass. I must do it better in 2012! oosh!
