After all the trauma, waiting and suspense the wait was finally over. At about 4:45pm yesterday my email account finally received my results from ACCA. How did I feel when I saw the email? I was worried and I was actually shivering with part excitement and part fear. I didn't know what to expect.
So I took a long and deep breath, and I clicked to access the email. Then I slowly scrolled down the email and slowly read the results. First subject - passed, second subject -passed, third subject - passed and the fourth subject - passed. Which means I CLEARED all the four exam papers I took during the June sitting! The magnificent satisfaction I felt within was simply wonderful, especially when I really didn't expect to pass all the papers I sat for.
For this, I must first thank all the people that made this possible:
1. Alan, for the Law notes and Information Systems notes, and the prayers.
2. Sze Wei, my colleague, my 'tai lo' at work for the kind support and the notes for Information Systems notes.
3. Hamster, for all the prayers, for the Information Systems notes as well.
4. David Tan, my colleague for the kind support.
5. My managers for the kind support.
6. Both my lecturers for Malaysian Tax, Mr. Simon Kok and Audit, Ms. Kiran.
7. Jasmine, now ex-colleague for the Law text book for without the textbooks I would not have made it through the paper.
8. Yin Yin, my colleague for the kind support.
9. Zo and family for the prayers and support.
10. My old friend, close friend, and business-partner-to-be, Max for the prayers and kind support.
11. My parents of course.
However, I am disappointed in some ways. First and foremost, I expected to do the best for the Audit paper considering I am in that line. Sadly, it turned out Audit was the lowest scoring paper out of the four. I scored the best for Information Systems, which I self studied. I am not too surprised since that was the easiest paper considering my familiarity with IT systems and the flow of IT processes (don't ask me how I ended up in accounting). How I passed the Law paper, which I thought I was going fail? Don't ask me either. As for the Tax paper, I have always scored within the bandwidth of the results, so it was no surprise.
One thing's for sure - how I did better for the papers I self-studied will always remain a mystery to me. But I have learned something from this painful but satisfying experience. Determination and hard work can take a person a long way even if you do not have the brains for it. At times, when people think you are in way over your head, that may not be the case but you are merely pushing yourself in hope to reach a higher level. When times get tough, no point giving up, by attempting something is in itself an achievement already. As for now, I need to look ahead and concentrate on my current 2 papers, which are FAR from easy, and my work as well since the auditing peak period will be starting in these few months to come.
Lastly, I want to thank the Heavenly Father that blessed me. I have always believed, and will continue to believe, it was He who gave me this opportunity and blessed me with this results.
