I passed! I passed!

It was 1 something in the morning. I had returned home after a movie & supper.

My friend, KG, called in the afternoon to let me know that the results are out and that he cleared. Was, of course, very happy for him. Though somewhat curious, I decided to check my results later in the night. I mean, I was expecting to fail...again (as my bro added)....and whether I check earlier or later would make no impact on the finality of the results, just how my mood will be. So, perhaps, better later than earlier. In fact, I have half a mind to withhold checking the results until I'm back at work.

But, feeling somewhat awake and rather curious after a chilli-infused supper, I decided to login to my email and check my results. Just by looking at the subject headings of the new mails, I saw that my results were in. But, I didn't click on it immediately. Instead, I did the usual and went through my emails one by one from newest to oldest.

I agar agar knew that the next email was THE email...so I clicked on it and slowly slowly scrolled down to the results. With each downward scroll, I felt my heart sinking. I remembered my half done cashflow statements, consol statements - incomplete, and not sure if what's done were correct. How to pass like that?!

I didn't see my marks first...I kept a look out for either the word Passed or Failed. When I saw the first Passed. I was like, "Unbelievable!". The second Passed was not so important, but seeing the Pass for my repeat paper just made me so happy, because I couldn't imagine going through another round of classes and exam for that paper, and expect to pass. Knowing that I'm freed from that was a great relief.

Besides, "Unbelievable", I can only say Thank You to God for allowing me to pass. I attribute these as God's grace upon me. This round of passes means alot to me. For one, it means I've cleared my level 2. It also means I do not need to apportion extra time to make up for repeat papers this semester. Passing the level 3 audit paper is also a great relief. At least I can properly answer to my bosses at work. It also means I can move on with the rest of the level 3 papers with abit more confidence.

I think I really should start reading my Singapore Master Tax Guide to prepare for my only exam this June. Have been struggling in class, 'cuz I can't remember my basic tax stuff. Format, rules, dates...aargh....quite dreadful. But Tax is still better than FRS...hate that.
