One reason, ACCA.


Vicky 刘宁

There's one and only reason for this blogless months and the following month. In case you wonder what am I onto, I'm studying for the coming freaking stress exams in December. This exam resembles my future, so I have to draw my attention away from the blog and facebook (k fine, I admit that I didn't completely stop facebook lol!), and focus fully on my study and revision.

If I pass I will be very happy, and then approach to a higher level of my course ACCA, if I fail I will have to delay my target for another 6 months (2 sittings a year. Ie, June and December) which is very scary, I don't want! T.T

Hmm, this gonna be a very wordy post I wonder if anyone will read till the end or not haha. I'm going to sit for 3 exams this December sitting:

6th December 2010 - Malaysia Taxation F6. Difficulty : 2.5/5
  • You need some memorizing skill for this creature, which is quite tough for me (people call me the forgetful girl fyi) I've been told that I've to memorize "ALL" of them, the limitation, minimum requirement, percentage required for certain items bla bla...... X.X
  • Good thing I attend class for this paper, the lecturer is imported from Malaysia KL (I'm currently in Brunei fyi). She is good and very interpretable! :D

13rd December 2010 - Performance Management F5. Difficulty : 4.8/5
  • First reason for the difficulty, I self study this subject. It's not that I think I can do it myself, but because of the clash time with classes of F6 :( Why I choose F6 instead of F5? Because F6 changes its rule and regulation very frequently, so I doubt that if I self study for F6, I might miss out any important changes you know??
  • Second reason for the difficulty, too many things to learn, way too many until I'm speechless, I almost cry every time I study this paper because it has been threatening me too harsh :'(
14th December 2010 - Financial Reporting F7. Difficulty : 1.8/5
  • I attend class for this paper. It's quite easy as long as you keep practising from the revision kit and past year papers. The format is always the same, first question regarding consolidation, second question regarding financial statements, third question regarding cash flow statement or ratio analysis or both, forth and fifth regarding the IASs which I'm not really good at the moment. Have to practise more that's it :D
  • Time management, I always like to spend most of my time on the first and second question, end up little time for the rest 3 questions. So I'm going to train myself by putting my G-Shock watch (gift from brother) in front of me while I'm doing the past year for F7. Sounds like a good idea ei?!
15th December 2010 - Sleep. Difficulty : 0/5
  • No need explanation here, everyone know how to do that :P
That's it! I've studied for months just to attend this 3 beautiful papers, with beautiful fees too. Wish me luck, I want to keep myself motivated and determined! The facebook is a highly evil temptation I hate it :( I've tried so many ways to stop facebooking, but always end up "Maybe just 5 minutes" to 5 hours...

I want to stay up late studying, eat or drink all possible energy boosting food or drink. Eat omega 3 tablets, drink chicken essence, eat cod liver oil (the man with a huge fish behind his back), exercise to keep me a healthy body, happy mood so that I can absorb whatever I studied, listen to inspirational musics (Eg. hillsongs, casting crowns), keep thinking about the consequence of not studying (ie fail) so that I will keep my eye open on the books.

I want to pass! Not just pass, but to get a better score. My elder sister scored the best mark in Malaysia for T2 (CAT level) in year 200x, I wanna be like her :) Sounds impossible but no matter what I'll try to my very best. I'll put chilli powder on my eyelid so that I won't fall asleep during study, LOL most probably end up cannot study due to the hotness of the chilli "Ahhh my eye!!!" Hahaha.

Well, congratulation you've just finished reading my wordy post. I know I know u just scrolled all the way down to here without reading haha!

Jia You Vicky and those who're going to sit for ACCA exams!! :D
Mmm, a sip of coffee before I start the war for the day again!

Grill Mayo Salmon Recipe from Chefky


Vicky 刘宁

As I promised earlier in my facebook wallpost, I'm going to post the recipe of
Grilled Mayo Salmon

to you all! :D Isn't that great?! Wohooo~
Just a few easy steps only ^^


1. Preheat the oven to 180 and prepare a Salmon.



Here you go, a salmon :D





2. Peel off the Salmon Skin



You need some karate kung fu skill here, using the knife cutting in between the skin and the flesh horizontally carefully.






3. Put the naked salmon on the aluminum foil covered tray.

Sexy salmon, don't grease the tray
because salmon itself will produce oil once heated.





5. Prepare Mayonnaise.

Whatever brand you like, one facebook friend suggested me to use Japanese mayo (soft bottle) one, also can :D Any mayonnaise!! Free of Choice!!






6. Prepare Salt.

For me I use Saxa salt, I like it because the bottle looks cool.





7. Spread the salt onto the buddeh of salmon equally.


Like massaging its back.





8. Spread the Mayo onto the buddeh salmon equally.


Prefer to cover all of it, as in all of the flesh see-able.





I did not put all because the family pay more
attention to the "health facts" issue XD







PUT IN THE PRE-HEATED OVEN FOR 5 MINUTES!


5 Minutes later...

Take out the tray carefully,
don't burn yourself cause I already did and it's painful T.T



9. Put on black pepper onto the half grilled salmon.

Any brand as long as it's black papper and makes you sneeze.





10. Then parsley,
now this is very important because it provides major scent on the dish.

Pour it equally onto the mayo-covered salmon.




PUT BACK THE TRAY INTO THE OVEN FOR ANOTHER 6 -7 MINUTES!
Just in case you can't see my words, I capitalised them XD






Look it's grilling X)


6 to 7 minutes later.... DING!






And this is Chefky's revealed recipe of Grill Mayo Salmon


Rate? from 10 to 10.

Vicky 刘宁
As most of you know that,
I'm going to sit for ACCA examinations this December 2010.
F5 - Performance management
F6 - Taxation (MYS)

Time for revision is getting tighter and more limited as day goes by. Stress and depression are increasing as well. I didn't attend classes for F5 paper which is performance management as classes for this paper clashed with the other 2 papers' classes. So I decided to have my own study on F5.

How to make EasiYo - Home made Yogurt


Vicky 刘宁
As you can see my previous related post here, it's very troublesome if we bought the wrong flavored yogurt or somehow too sweet or tasteless. Just... you bought something you don't like lo. Understand? Well well, EasiYo settles these problems!

There is no other yogurt tastes as good, or is more beneficial than freshly-made real yogurt, ie, EasiYo Yogurt!

EasiYo Yogurt is rich in absorb-able nutrients and has BILLIONS of live lactic cultures (those beneficial 'good guys') in every spoonful! You just can't beat yogurt when it's at its freshest! There's numbers of flavors: standard yogurt, low fat yogurt, specialty yogurt, bio-life yogurt, premium yogurt, drinking yogurt and many more!

This time I use the specialty yogurt, Greek - style unsweetened. Meaning no sugar, meaning not sweet at all. Aiya, people want to diet wa.


First of all you will need a pack of EasiYo yogurt pack,
whatever flavors you like.




Then a hardware (container) of EasiYo,
got different colour one you know?
I have the yellow one yay.




Then the most impostant thing will be the outer hardware (flask) of EasiYo.
Later tell you what is it use for :)


Next boiling water, around 700ml.



COLD (not cool) water from the fridge, 1000ml

With these easy and simple ingredients,
we can now start making our own yogurt!



1. Pour cold water to the 400ml measured on the container





2. Put in the yogurt powder, ALL!






3. Cover and start to shake shake shake for around 50 times! You can dance "Mexico Cha Cha dance" when shaking if you want.




4. Open the lid and pour in the cold water to the top of the
"arrow sign" on the container.






5. And do some "Mexico Cha Cha Dance"

Shake 50 times is enough, don't over excited ha.




6. As soon as you finish the shakes, BOILING (around 90+ degree celcius, not warm!) water must be ready at that time. Pour in to the hardware UNTIL the white line on the upper side, not lower side yeah. DO NOT EXCEED nor DECEED the line,
this is very important!






7. Very soon after that, put in the yogurt container into the flask SLOWLY, don't use "dump" or "throw" ok =.= I know you guys won't do that aren't you??

This big flask is like a home for the healthy germs to generate, it keeps the heat from the boiling water and on the same time keeps the cold from the cold water. This is the perfect condition for the healthy little germs!




8. Close the Lid, just turn the lid in a clockwise direction
until you feel a "stop" or "break" sensation.






9. Kindly dry out the hardware with a smiley face :D



10. Wait for at least 8 hours, or more if you want the yogurt to be more "solidified".
11. 8 hours or more later, take out the yogurt container and check if the content has become creamy or slimmy, if yes, put into the fridge and SERVE COLD! :D

It's SO DELICIOUS when eaten cold. ^.^




And it will be something like this!

Since I used the unsweetened flavor, I can modify it myself instead of eating it straight away. By adding some cereals or fruits or milk! Some people may use for baking purpose!

To gain the full health benefits of yogurt, the cultures in it need to be LIVE. But as these cultures last just days, freshly-made yogurt is the only real way of ensuring you receive optimum benefits as well as a great taste.

EasiYo is the greatest choice of all!

Sorry for the previous post btw, I'm fine atm :)

I'm nuts!


Vicky 刘宁

Yeah, it's true I'm going nuts :(
Just look at my table! :d



It's full of books, papers, files, water bottle, face cream, pen, high lighters, etc.
Exams will be 2 months away from here, ACCA is killing course, well I love challenging, bring it on babeh. December 2010 will be my BIGGEST war of the year!


My ahnd got infected and on the same place again. Left hand, in between the middle and the "no name/forth" finger. It gets itchy and skin will peel off by itself and swollen in no time.




Feeling like burning it with fire, you would not know how itchy and irritating it is. I wonder what will cause this infection ha? Lack of Vitamin Z?


I'm going nuts, I'm eating nuts! :D
Honey Roasted Macadamias

I heard that nuts are good for brain, for this nut-brain me,
I definitely have to consume more.


For your information, it's manufactured in Australia. But ho, it's quite high in cholesterol, those who has cholesterol should control the amount of consuming. Drink lotsa water after eating macadamias, cause it will harden your poop poop, and in the end you will face a constipation problem, scary not?




Like what the packet said so, it's coated with honey and roasted (a lil of salt) So delicious! It's the best snack ever ^.^ Munch Munch Crunch Crunch!










This is the inside of it, brownish color, normally without any process,
the original one should be in beige color.



Love Macadamias alot alot ^^




The packet says one packet 10 servings, for me one packet one serving lol!
I could just eat non-stop, one after another. And I found out that this is one of
the best way I can concentrate on my study! Munch Munch while studying...



I love Macadamia Nuts.

Since I act like a nut, ya'll can call me Macadamia,
it's my new name, in short, Mac.
