A Day At A Fish Farm

The Sabah chapter of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) organised a trip to a fish farm, in Tuaran, this morning. I went along for the experience.


The fish farm was by the river near the mouth of that river ...


... on-shore was the processing shed ...


... while the pontoon walkways had the nets with the fishes ...


... there were quite a few nets, though recently harvested, so only the big fishes and the small ones were left.


"There's a Big One!" ...


... It was a "Big One". At RM300 per kilo (so I was told), it was a few thousand ringgit!


"We're more interested in these ones!" ...


... a "good-sized" Tiger Garoupa ...


... taken ...


... more garoupas available ...


... "This one is MINE!" ...


... weighed ...


... and THE END.

ACCA Members Appreciation Nite - Kota Kinabalu

The ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is an UK based association for qualified accountants. The qualification is recognised by the MIA (Malaysian Institute of Accountants), so there are a significant number of Malaysian members in the ACCA.

The ACCA Malaysia branch held a Members Appreciation Nite as an annual affair. This KK one was the first, to be followed by those to be held in other cities and towns in Malaysia ...

... this was at The Pacific Sutera this evening ...

... where registration got me a bag, and T-shirt & a folder for being a 25-year member. Apparently there were 33 such "old-timers" in Kota Kinabalu! ...

... the attendance at around 60 was very good for this type of function ...

... we had our ACCA's JLo (on the right of the photo)! Yes, her name is really Jennifer Lopez, and she's the Country Head, ACCA Malaysia.
