Training: Finance for Non-Finance Executives / Managers
For the past 2 days - 13th and 14th October 2006, I had undergone a 2-day training organized by SMIDEC at PSDC. SMIDEC, or Small and Medium Industries Development Corporation is a government agency that supports SMEs by providing infrastructural facilities, financial assistance, market access, etc.
The company that I am part of had designated me to take part in the training provided because my attendance is required to obtain approval for a government grant that we have applied for - Grant for Product and Process Improvement.
The training was called Finance for Non-Finance Executives/Managers conducted by training provider Mr Aaron Ooi. I have learned some important issues in the management of a business - financial accounting, budgeting, costing, and decision making. Most of the principles are defined in formulae, and needed a lot of calculation such as credit sales, depreciation, break-even points and target profit.
As a person with only academic legal knowledge, even the basics of finance and accounting was something new to me. I learnt how to compute basic accounts such as balance statements, profit and loss, etc. Overall, it was a great experience for me.
Well, even though I'm not exactly complaining... I just heard from Mei that I have to attend a 3 day 2 night CAMP organized by NCIA (Northern Corridor Implementation Authority) next month.

updates
(Me at the office today. I haz flu.)
Okay. It's been a month since I'm back in Penang.
Been working for a month.
Already gone on a business trip to Singapore (1st and 2nd Oct).
Went to Genting Highlands. Visited the casinos.
Gambled and lost money for the first time in my life.
Started CLP lectures, but 0% motivation to study.
Reason: Freaked out by the failure rate.
Started going for workout at the gym.
Aim to visit the gym at least once a week.
Cut my hair back to my school girl bob.
(Me at the office today. I haz flu.)Last but not least...
Having the best time of my life with my Dann dear.
Happy birthday baby.
I Love You.

Update from Penang
Greetings from the tropical island paradise in equatorial South east Asia, surrounded by the sea, sandy beaches and blue skies...
Penang. A place where I call 'home'.
Apart from the 37 degree heat, daily pouring rain, traffic jams, smelly drains and Sungai Pinang (strategically located just next to my work place), the warm and friendly townsfolk in surgical masks-covered faces... it's always good to be home.
The hawker food. My lovely family (and additions to the family - PUPPIES!). My beloved Dann dear. My FRIENDS. So many reasons why it's so good to be here.
Just barely a week after my touchdown on Malaysian soil, I am officially employed, thank God. As what? I have no idea. I'm sitting in my dad's office surfing the internet, doing my own thing, occasionally called into meetings, and reading pages and pages of company agreements.
And when I'm bored, I go to sleep. (not in the office, of course!)
What a wonderful life! =D

Lucky
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday.
=)
9 more days.

Label of the day: WAREHOUSE
I've been going on a shopping therapy during these past few days. Shopping really does make a woman happy. This I can completely agree. I'm sticking within my budget and only buying what I can afford. My recent purchases are all by warehouse. Clothes under this label are not cheap in Msia and so far I've only found Parkson's at KL Pavilion and KLCC that stock them.
Beautiful purple halter-neck style top
Mauve and cream wrap-around
Black and white lace evening top
Purple sparkly sleeveless top
I'm looking at vintage style at the moment such as pencil dresses, high-waist skirts, pleated skirts and boleros.
Anyway, these are my buys. *loves*
