ACCACCCACCA part 2

Yay... I am sooo happy about getting through all the four exams that I had written in June 2009.. I just did not have any confidence in passing all four exams.. but it was a pleasant surprise..

The results were scheduled to be out on Monday , 17th Aug.. and we were out the weekend before that. We were visiting the French Rivera. Apart from the fact that it was too hot(36 Degrees Celcius), the trip was excellent.. We visited Nice, Monaco & Monte Carlo... Did not think about my results all weekend.. and started thinking about it as soon as I landed in London...

We reached home early hours of Monday morning (3AM) and guess what.. I logged on straight away to check if my results are out.. On the website, it clearly specified that do not even attempt to check the results before 5AM BST (British Summer Time)..

So, I woke up at 7.00 AM the next morning and was soooo happy after I saw.. the 4 'Pass'.....
All my life, I have never failed an exam.... and failing an exam is one of my worst nightmares..

Thank you God.. for getting me through all the exams....

I am not left with one more exam... and I will be a fully qualified Chartered Accountant.. ! So, hopefully... December 2009 will be the last time I have to ever write exams... !

New.. new..new

Yay... I finally got my 0.5 carat white gold half eternity ring that I had ordered 3 weeks ago.. (pictures to follow this post)

I am very fussy when it comes to jewellery.. Not that I have loads of jewellery, rather I have none.. But I always felt that I should invest in some sort of jewellery that I can wear if not everyday, but atleast most of the time.. Not something that sits in the locker for ages, and gets taken out for someones wedding or some family function..

I was eyeing this diamond studded half eternity ring from a long long time.. but just was never able to make up my mind to spend soo much money on myself.. and most of the time.. something or the other came up....and most of the funds were diverted..

But this time.. I had made up my mind..and wanted to buy something special for my birthday.. something that is special.. Most birthdays so far... I just buy some clothes..and these days..as I don't wait for an occasion to buy clothes, therefore it did not excite me..

Finally, I made up my mind.. went to a jeweller...who we know quite well.. and decided on a ring that I liked.. and since I have chubby fingers :)... he had to get it done to my size.. which he said would take 3 weeks...

So, on the 1st of August 2009.. I am a proud & happy owner of my first diamond ring.. :)
