.: Public Speaking :.

Sometimes I wonder why I agree to do the things that I fear doing.

I'm gonna be giving a talk to a group of parents & students on accountancy in Sunway College next weekend. And god knows how fearful I am speaking on stage. The only way to conquer my fear is to face them I guess.

Dear Uqba and Shan Lyn

Thank you so much for agreeing to take time off your busy schedule to speak to potential students on our Open Day. Just thought I could email the details to you:

Date: 14th March 2009
Time: 1.30pm – 2.30pm
Title: ACA as a Profession: A Personal Perspective
Venue: Audi 7
Guest speaker: Uqba

Date: 15th March 2009
Time: 2.45pm – 3.45pm
Title: ACA as a Profession: A Personal Perspective
Venue: Audi 7
Guest speaker: Shan Lyn

Ms Loh Wei Yuen, Head of ICAEW Malaysia will start off by introducing herself and talk about the ICAEW. She will then pass it on to you for about 10-15 minutes to share your ACA experience before finishing off with Q&A session. It would be great if you could touch on the following (you can select a few or add to it, if you wish!):

1. Why did you choose the ACA
2. What's the difference between ACCA and ACA exams (this is for you, Shan Lyn)
3. How did you benefit from the work-study structure
4. How did the exams prepare you for your job and career
5. What did you enjoy most
6. What's the hardest part
7. Any practical tips or advice for students who are considering the ACA

Once again, thank you so much for supporting Sunway and the ICAEW in this manner. You can buzz me on my mobile phone once you arrive. See you then and have a wonderful evening.
