MICPA 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner...

I just got back from the 50th Anniversary of the Malaysian Institute of Chartered and Public Accountants Gala Dinner at the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. As usual, boring dinner, not to mention long boring speeches by dignitaries...ish. But, before that, thank you Halim, my colleague at HTP Berhad, President of the Young MICPA club, 35 years old and making a mark in the corporate world and I have heard some encouraging accolades about you from other head honcos too...and you too Wadi (I know u are also reading my blogpost...hehe). I never fail to accomodate all his invitations, well, almost, hehe unless of course I am not in town! Even if it is a last minute invite (wink). Thank you bro. Spotted and chatted with, at the pre-dinner session was, CF Lim ED of PIAM and his wife, Datuk Ab Halim (former MICPA president) & Datin, Datuk Nordin Baharuddin Chairman of KUB and current MICPA President, Mohamad Abdullah until recently my board member and former Chairman of Malaysian Re and his wife, Vice Chancellor of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Tan Sri & Puan Sri. Of course lots were chatted on the table which I suspect some were not comfortably digested by some people. As usual, I would ramble on, distasteful and 'outofthisweld' jokes, some of which unclassified and uncensored...much to the disgust of many like this one for example...hehe..I was reminiscing the gud ole 'ragging' days at ITM (now UiTM) where we would purposely single out ACCA or CIMA students and ask them what's the definition of an accountant? and the answer? one who makes a double entry! hahahaha...(wink). Bean counters you say? naaaah...that's a bit too common, out of date...hehe. Do have a great sunday ahead folks! nanait....
