ACCA Graduation Day: Amyra Hanani [Part 1]

Saturday, 21 October 2017

This is for you, Papa.

Assalamualaikum.

Harini nak cerita tentang kisah topi hitam yang menjadi wishlist setiap insan yang menuntut ilmu di peringkat universiti! :) Alkisahnya sepatutnya I patut tulis post ni on 8 Oktober 2017 tapi takde kesempatan masa sejak sibuk membina kerjaya ni. huhuhuhu.

So, here it goes for Part 1. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. :)

First of all, Alhamdulillah and praise to the Al-Mighty for making this into reality. Finally, at the age of 22 years old (with a lil bit of wrinkles and pimples due to the side effects of studying ACCA), I have graduated and I am a proud ACCA Affiliate thanks to my lecturers:

* Corporate & Business Law [Malaysian Variant] (F4) - Ms Pushpa
* Performance Management (F5) - Mr Akbar
* Taxation [Malaysian Variant] (F6) - Mr Ang
* Financial Reporting (F7) - Ms Santha
* Audit & Assurance (F8) - Ms Kiran
* Financial Management (F9) - Mr Michael
* Governance, Risk & Ethics (P1) - Mr Goh
* Corporate Reporting (P2) - Ms Santha
* Business Analysis (P3) - Mr Dinesh
* Advanced Taxation [Malaysian Variant] (P6) - Ms Rozi
* Advanced Audit & Assurance (P7) - Mr Goh

with Ms Rozi

Ms Rozi ni dulu ex-student Sunway juga. Now, she is the best lecturer for P6..! ^^ She used to say this in her class, "I never fail any of the internal exams (ie PT1, PT2 and Mock) for all papers." I realized that was an indirect challenge from her. From that day onwards, I'll make sure to clear this last paper which is her paper, once and for all. At the end of the day, I prove to her that I managed to clear all of ACCA papers in a first attempt! :)

I took 3 years (1.7.2014 ~ 30.6.2017) to complete my ACCA. Those years were the period of time where I sold my soul to the devil.! hahaha! Siapa yang ambik ACCA ni dia tahu yang this journey is a pain in the ass. It is easy to enter, escaping it...? Well, best of luck! You are about to enter "hell"!
May the luck be with you! kekekeke!

Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! Only if you are capable of handling failure or failures. 

Just so you know, the moment when the MC called my name, "Amyra Hanani binti Abdul Hamid", oh goshhhhh, I became so weak as soon as I heard my Daddy's name! :'( Damnnnnn, hati tisu betul! I tried so hard to hold the tears, pretending not to cry in front of the crowd. Strong enough to take one step at a time heading towards the centre of the stage to receive my scroll but not strong enough to control what I feel on the inside. I really wanted to cry so badly but I can't. Not in front of the crowd! huhuhu. Bila atas stage tu, when the photographer was taking my picture with the VVIP of the day, my eyes were busy searching for the presence of Papa as if he was there.... I always wanted to make him proud but I lost the chance to celebrate that proud moment with Papa.

When I was 17, I only target 7As for my SPM and when I told about it to Papa, he said, "Kenapa tak aim straight As?" I replied, "Because I don't think I can score A for Bio, Phy and Chem" padahal dalam hati time tu memang dah tahu dah yang jiwa ni tak kena dengan subjek Science. I know myself better than anyone else gituuu.. huhuhu.. Then, Papa said, "You should aim high. Aim for the moon. At least if you miss, you will land on one of those stars. I know you can."

Until today, I still remember everything that you said. Everyday I live this life without you. Everyday I'm longing for your soothing and motivational words of wisdom. Patah sebelah sayap tak boleh terbang tinggi. Everything that I have achieved today, I can't celebrate it with you and it makes me sad.

I really wish that you could witness this moment. I really wish that you were the happiest father clapping your hand the loudest for your daughter. I really wish I could properly introduce my future husband to you. I really wish I could say "Papa, adik berjaya graduate ACCA and your wish come true!"

Sadly, not every wish can come true.

This is for you, Papa. 

The strongest warrior has the most scars and still be able to smile.

So, head up. I can't go back. Graduation is not the ending. Eh tak! It's actually THE ENDING OF ACCA! No more #KisahSeramACCA

I can proudly say that I have escaped "hell" ! #phewwww!

The new chapter begins, i.e Work work work work work no more long holidays work work work work work to pay study loan work work work work work. ._____.

To everyone else, takyah kalut nak graduate awal. Relax and appreciate your student life.
Studying is easier than working.

Bila dah kerja nanti korang akan menyesal sebab tak akan ada dah zaman laghaaa! Tak akan ada dah zaman nak ponteng or skip kelas.. hahahaha. So, enjoy your youth while you still can! kekekekeke
