Overwhelmed school

This writing is written because the demand from my fans.

This Saturday, I got Audit class in the late afternoon

So if you ask what I learn from audit class, I will answer Conducting the Audit. You won't know the term which is very technical. So, I just told about my lecturer. In one practice question, it is written "James is responsible for counting and approving the stock". So when discussion she said, "it is not James that you know. I know the James that you know can do everything".. then the class laughed. She referred to my MA (Management Accounting) and Financial Reporting (FR) lecturer, whose name is James Kxxx.... He is very famous as Accounting lecturer not only in SIM.

Actually, when attended Audit, MA, and FR class. There is always some joke to mock one another. Last time, James says "do not become the auditor, you will get enemy everywhere."

In Monday MA class, James tells about Total Quality Management (TQM, find out in google what is that). He related the TQM principal "do it right at the first time" with our exam. Is it important to do it right at the first time? If fail, we have to rework, reinspecting, and third time fail then need to Scrap it. Then when in our certificate written fail, we start blame external failure (lecturer, examiner, family, etc) not internal failure (yourself only 0,02 percent).

Before I forget what James says today for MA night class, so I should write it first. So he explains about Target Costing. Basically, it is the method where we set selling price first then the target cost. Then suddenly, he asks the class, how long do you sleep every day? Most of us says 8 HOURS!! He then calculate, 8 over 24 = 1/3 then expected normal people life is 60 years. Then 1/3 * 60 years = 20 years zzzz.. Then, he uses 6 hours of sleep, then there is 5 years differences, then what he says, 5 years you can take 1 degree and 1 master..

Related to target costing, then he asks us.. Then every day 24 hours, less 8 hours of sleep, 4 hours chatting (this is called non value added), 2 hours of eating, 2 hours of bath, 2 hours of watch TV (non value added), 2 hours of travelling, 3 hours lecture, etc.. Then he says, how much time you set aside for study excluding the lecture time?? Wah, I think I got shocked when he says this.

Then he reverse the planning, what should come first? STUDY! Hahaha.. So, 24 hours, 6 hours of study, reduce to zero for all non value added activities, 1 hour for eating, and bath. 2 hours of travelling. So left 14 hours, Wahh.. we see, there is a lot time when we put the priority of study first. hahaha...

This part actually makes me feel guilty :(

He reveals to the class how much he sleep everyday. He tells he rarely sleep more than 5 hours. If it happens, then it will be good. He just normally sleeps 3-4 hours/day. He currently pursuing two doctorates program, making two thesis with a 180,000 words in total...

I just wondering is it the education so important for him? I mean I think there are still much more part of life that should be equally as important as education...

Can you help answer this part? your comment is appreciated.

Emmaus the journey continues.

Last weekend until today (which is Tuesday, 8 Dec) is an overwhelming week.

Starting on Saturday, I have afternoon Auditing class (3.30 until 6.30) which is quite unusual. Moreover, canteen in SIM and Ngee Ann is only half day open (until 2PM). That mean, I did not have my lunch before class (I just ate bread and jam). Haha..

Then, because I had nothing to do after class. I decide to join the Emmaus (again!). I actually also wanted to share my experience during my retreat last week. The topic was Suffering & Joy brought by brother Phillips. This was also the last week for two of DMS girls who will continue to UOL program (congratz, you will experience coming to school on Sunday!).. haha.. The meeting was ended quite late, 11PM? I forget. Then I felt, very very tired, I slept no more after 12.30AM, because I realize tomorrow I had to church for choir at 9AM.. @.@

Sunday morning, as usual, I woke up to get ready for the church (I was thinking about the empty room at my flat). Today, my friend did not show up for the mass, because her parents was around. Then, I remembered my friend who I mentioned above, also attended 9 AM mass, so actually they saw me when I was singing. Haha.. I text one of them. She said, she was in the bookstore to buy some merchandise to be brought back to Indo.

Then, after she left, I met Keenan (director of young and young adult office of my church), then actually I asked about the role of sponsor in RCIA. He explained in quite very depth role of the sponsor.

The interesting part is not from here, so when I asked, what are you doing now? Then he said, he helped to manage the Knight (Altar Server). So he told me currently he and Brother Derrick are managed the Server, then actually they have shortage of experience person. Then actually, why? is there any problem in this ministry? Actually, at this time, I was very curious what happened? I thought they are doing OK in the Altar. Then he told more about the knight, actually I thought that I had same problem as I was in Altar Server in Indonesia. I asked him, if something that I might help. He answered that, they were prayed for someone who can help them in this ministry, who had the experience, when we met at Oka Maya weeding, I shared some of my experience with him in the Altar Ministry.

Then finally before I left to continue choir practice, I left my contact to Keenan. Maybe I should write an email, what I had through during my service in Altar Ministry in Jakarta..

Opportunity is coming again...!!!
