Long Time No Blog

so..long time no blog ahh..
no time to blog la..so solly la...

*ahem* sorry...got my canto-accent back now that I'm back in Richmond... HA!

so...what has Ollie been up to since her departure from Toronto....

nothing..*sigh*

Went to UBC's DAP Accounting Career Workshop for two full days...the first thing they said was "Only 1/3 of you guys sitting here will become a CA"....geeze...great...thanks A LOT!~

Other than that..learned a lot....learned how to network...improved my interview skills and resume/cover letter...learned the difference between CA, CGA and CMA...and a little bit about how to write the CACEE forms....

But most importantly, got to network with tons and tons of CGA/CMA/CA professionals and companies and firms....so that was good..

hmm..what else have I done...

Started my first DAP class at UBC...commuting sucks......9:00am class means I get up at 6:30am...poo...fortunately, class is interesting enough so that I have yet fell asleep in class...wow..must be a personal record!

Taking Managing Information Systems...learning to use MS Access..buahahaha..already know how to use it thanks to my summer job last year at PricewaterhouseCoopers...go me......A+ here I come!

What else........
I think I saw more Toronto people than Vancouver ppl since Ive been back...thats...kinda sad.....well..not reallllyyyy true..but oh well :P Saw John, Jack and Dave...that was kinda cool...makes me kinda miss Toronto......I miss making weekly pocket money from other...j/k

Also went back to PwC and check out how my bosses are doing etc...brings back some good memories....felt like I never left..i miss the business professional atmosphere

What else.....
Saw Pirates of the Carribean II and The Devil Wears Prada..both great movies...highly recommended!!! <3 Depp and Streep

OH!..
Finally golfed at a course--Richmond Coutry Meadows (first time)...though only executive course...cause..I'm have no confidence with my drives right now after what happened when I went to the driving range for the first time in more than a year.....though my irons were pretty good...My uncle "lend" me his honma set....and WOW..soooo good...my iron shots were about 10-15 yards longer than when I used my own crappy RAM clubs.....muahaha....tho that kinda messed up my yardage play since I constantly over shooting the greens...arg
no comment on my short game (chip/pitch)..ie/ it bloooowwws


So...actually been quite busy...besides school...been taking on a side bookkeeping job and helping my mom with her new career....so been learning lots...which is good..
wish i have more social time tho :(

I have decided to take my DAP program over 2 years instead of 1....but I will be working part time as a bookkeeper....need to build up a good resume so I can get into a good CA firm when I apply next sept...it'll also give me time to make sure I get good grades...cause I think I'll burn out if i try to finish it in 1 year...

that's it for now..

as for my Europe Pictures...msg me if you want to see it..
