Welcome to my blog

Setting up this blog was a challenging experience and a great personal achievement.  The first week of lectures has certainly been a quantitative acquisition of knowledge, an eye opener and I am getting the feel of student life.  The lecturers are friendly and are approachable should I need assistance, which I undoubtedly will.  There is so much more work to be done and I am excited to learn more.

 What is Accounting?

After group discussion we decided accounting was a list of financial records for a business, including profit and loss statements, trial balance, journals and ledgers, for business analysis.

What is learning?

A way of thinking about practical applications of research and recalling information. Quantitative knowledge for individual requirements in the real world.



I am sitting here, while Angelina Ballerina and Pepper Pig are entertaining my 2 toddlers and contemplating how lucky we are as humans to have facilities such as schools and university to further advance our learning.  I started a business degree in the early 90’s and made the decision to return 20 or so years later to study a business diploma, as a stepping stone to gainful employment and a head start on my degree. This is my opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills to achieve a financial employment position and potentially operate my own business.  It is fortunate indeed that we won’t be the subject of elaborate scientific experiments or bacon!


My company

Originally I was assigned the company China Auto Interior Decoration Holding Ltd, a huge multi-million dollar company.  The web site takes so long to load that I was reassigned the company Contact Energy Electricity Company based in New Zealand.  I will be further investigating the Contact Energy Electricity Company on it's own page. 

I hope you all enjoy my blog. Happy blogging!
