Engineer doing ACCA full time?

l4nc3k — Sat, 22 Aug 2020 12:32:14 +0800

Hi sifus, hopefully can find someone with similar background or know anyone with such experience.

I am in my late 20s, and have almost 5 years in engineering work. I resigned from my work a while ago because of family reasons.

Now I'm exploring options, and thought of pursuing ACCA, mostly through self studying and maybe some tuition for the professional papers, and looking to complete it around 3 years (full time study).

Lets just say that financial wise I'm pretty relaxed but I would love to save some tuition money.

What kind of future prospects am I looking at? I understand that nowadays auditing firms are freezing hiring due to the pandemic and generally bad economy, but what about in a few years when we recover from it?

Thanks for your kind advises.

working chemical engineer, looking for a new start

l4nc3k — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 08:50:28 +0800

Hi sifus,

I'm a chemical engineering graduate and already start working for our nation's oil company for half a year. As I dwell into the job I'm starting to dislike it more and more (oil & gas, and chemical engineering work in general)

Some background, I was a decent SPM graduate who looked for several opportunities to do my degree in accounting. But due to poor family background I could only afford to do any degree that are sponsored. So petronas offered me full sponsorship to enroll into UTP to do chemical engineering, which is why I am here now.

Now that my family is 'less burdurned' I would like to explore my options. I'm currently 24 so I think I'm not too late, yet. I'm looking to do one of the two:

1. A part time accounting degree / cert which will be certified and recognized by the official accounting body and mnc acconting firms. Of course being able to do the degree near my workplace (east coast) is a plus but I can tolerate long distance driving for my dreams. Scholarship is also welcomed

2. A total fresh start. Any scholarships willing to take in a guy of my age (24)? I'm willing to break my current bond and pay it back by ansurance.

I'm open to any options / advices. Thank you for your time. And formatting / typos might be off since I'm on mobile.

Linking data in Excel

l4nc3k — Tue, 06 May 2014 12:11:01 +0800

Not sure whether its the correct place to post but I can't find any other appropriate forum.

So now I got a database in excel (with product code, product description, product price, quantity, etc. etc.)
I need to design another worksheet so that whenever a worker key in the product code, it will search the excel database for it, and print out the product description and price in the new worksheet.

I tried youtube and googling without good results (I actually don't know what keyword to search).

home broadband without telephone line?

l4nc3k — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 08:08:17 +0800

hi guys.
i will having a 4 months break from my current university soon.. currently finding internet service that has unlimited quota (not wireless broadband, i have those and i don't want throttled speed for my connection) because I'm a heavy download user.
I do not mind the speed (384/512 is good enough for me actually lol) because I open my computer 24/7, but i need a plan that doesn't require phone line at home because I'm gonna terminate the plan as soon as my break ends.
any suggestion? thanks

Maxis Package

l4nc3k — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 19:52:11 +0800

Hi all,
first of all I would like to apologize if I have posted in the wrong forum >_< can't find a better board to post.

I would like to ask about this promotion:
http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=7175&Itemid=2

in which it gave a link to http://maxis.com.my/joinus/index.asp

My question is am I eligible to the following offer if I am not a current postpaid user? Means can I just sign a new package with maxis with the current offer? i.e. I'm current a digi prepaid user but wish to sign the package above.. possible?

Besides I also got a few more other small questions:
1. What does the Value Plus 50 gives? As in any free call time or free sms?
2. How much do I have to pay the first time if I'm eligible to the package above?

thanks for the answer

just some add on: can i get the phone on the spot in normal maxis shops? or I need to go to a Maxis Center?
