Friday, Dad told me he was in critical condition after an accident. Yesterday morning, he passed away.

My cousin Kelvin is one the nicest guy ever. He’s ever loving towards his wife & his son. He treats us cousins greatly. We are not closed but I love talking to him. His advices, his smiles, his humour, and his passion in cooking.

Our grandparents love him very much. Among the 20 odds grandchildren they have, Kelvin is the one they sayang most. Grandpa, grandma, if you hear this – why bring him along? Is not fair. Now, he is with you, please take good care of him and his family here.

It is sad that he is gone -gone, just like that, so young.

A caring husband, a loving father, a hsiao-shun son, a passionate cook, a great soul.

Brother Kelvin, may you rest in peace.

p/s: He met an accident while riding on his motorcycle, not much injury but declared brain dead. My dear friends, please wear a helmet and FASTEN it. If you could, drive a car instead. Don’t let those who love you cry for you.

3 years ago, I was wondering whether should I take up pharmacy or chemical engineering or accountancy. I love Chemistry and Maths, and I am good in Accounts too – I guess it was all in the family (btw, my dad is an accountant by profession)

As I was struggling to make my decision – my interest in Science? or a better path with Accounting (that’s was most ppl think la)?, I found out that I am selected for the National Service. Yes, I cried. Not that I don’t want to go, but it will definitely affect my study plans!

Somehow we found this little college in Bangsar that offers Certified Accounting Technician course in 6 months! That’s half of the normal length! With this, we thought the best option is for me to start studying w/o waiting for SPM results, graduate in half a year and defer my NS to the 3rd batch. And continue with ACCA afterwards.

Yeah, so basically that’s how I ended up choosing ACCA .

Fast forward, I finished my CAT in 6 months, went NS, rest for 2 months, found a great job and started working while studying part time for 2 years. By June 2008, I graduated. Finally.

Looking back I am glad that I am blessed to have a great father who gives my excellent advice – which made me who I am today. Life is good – good job, great pay, wonderful holidays and yes, I am one of youngest ACCA grad to become a member (ACCA membership requires 3 years working experience) immediately!

Muahahahaha….

and 3 weeks ago, it was my Convocation@ Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. I guess my parents must be very happy that day. I hope I have made them proud.

My proud parents

My cousins who came that day.

My cousins gave the flowers I’m holding in the above picture. There’s a story behind it. My sis can’t make to it the graduation ceremony that day but she wanted to buy me a bouquet of flowers. The problem is I am VERY choosy when comes to flowers – it must be the type I like, the colour matching etc etc, and I want to choose them myself!! Now, the convo is on Saturday which means we must get the flowers from Petaling Street on Friday. Since I’m working near PS, why not buying the flowers myself. So you know the problem now? I can’t be buying flowers for myself right?

Then, my cousin sis called my mum saying she has order flowers for me.In Labis, such flowers are considered special order. How lovely of her!! and I am so touched! Alright, move on….

Took pictures in KLCC park – a nice place for photoshooting.

The event hall is HUGE! This pic shows 3/4 of the hall.
Imagine there’s 150 tables…

Forgive me over the not-so-groomed me.
I didn’t have time to prepare myself that day.
