getting closer to what i where to be

For the past 1 week or so, I fervently searched for a pda phone over the internet. Upon receiving my hard earned bonus, I thought it was a good self reward for the year. i scoured the forums and ebays but found nothing within my budget of $300-$400. a brand new one would cost me $500+ which I was reluctant to part with.

Today, I found something I am more than willing to pay for and which I am certain is worth every cent paid for. Instead of spending the$500 on a handphone, which is more a want than a need, I am going to do the pre-admission course to ICPAS. As a pre-requisite to full membership with ICPAS, the 3 days course is a must, together with 3 years of relevant working experience and another test (or paper I reckon) on proficiency in local laws. As I’ve almost gotten 2 years of experience, doing the pre-ad course is timely. i’m aiming for the January intake, which will fall within my holidays..so I can do it without having to worry about my studies. =)

This is something that’ll add value to my career. A full ICPAS membership is prestige in the accounting line; my financial controller and finance director are both ICPAS members too.

Material wants can come another time. for me, I’m on the train to accelerate my career. I like pretty things, but once I hold a good job and earn a decent pay, pretty things will come easily within reach. =)
