MGX9230 & AFF5100 (2)

yesterday was a remarkable day, a huge hailstone hit Melbounre. some people said that it was the biggest hailstone in recent 10 years in Melbourne, i do not know whether it was correct, but i did know that the rain was really huge. it was a long day for me yesterday, because of the labour day on 8 March, the train did not opera between Pakeham and Oakleigh, alternatively there was a bus running between these two stop. but i did not know this infomation before i went to the train stop. but after 10 or more minutes waiting, i saw the announcement, and went to the bus stop. just 2 minutes after i entered the bus, the hailstone was comming, it was really terrible. the hailstone hit the bus, fortunately the bus is strong enough, nobody hurt in the bus. then i changed the train at Oakleigh station. usually, it needs 30 or 35 minutes from Oakleigh to City, but it took me 90 or more minutes to do that, i did not know what happen , but the train stop at Toorak for a long time, and the train drive told the passenger to change the train. anyway i got city. but when i went home, i check the website, it stated that the South Cross Station was damage in the hailstone, the roof collapsed, OMG, i hope no one get hurt. but the South Cross Station is cost billions to build it, it can not withstand the hailstone? it is a quesion. and today, in the moring and afternoon, the weather is good, but about 7pm, it is raining again with thunder. i hope no hailstone this time.
OK, about AFF 5100. the lecturer is pretty strict, maybe he is the strictest teacher i have met. in the first lecture he introduced himself for a long time, maybe 30 minutes, i guess. he said he did not have PHD, but he had a lot experience in mangement company, he was CEO or CFO in several industries. he also said that he loves teaching, so he teaches, not about money. he also stated some rules of his class such as forbid using phone in class. anyway, it was not important. and about the assignment, there are two group assignment in this unit, but unlike other units, we can not make the group by ourselves, he makes the group for us. UH HA. i do not know what to say.
go to the content of this unit. the name of this unit is advanced strategic management accouting. i thought it was managment accouning, but i was wrong. this unit does about managment accounting, but not the traditional managemnt accounting, it is about strategic management accouting. traditional management accouting is about budget or something like that, it focused on the internal factors of the firm. but strategic managemtn accouting focuses on not only inside of the firm, but also outside. he also introduced some concepts of SMA, but i have not got the lecture notes yet, so i can not state here. and as stated in the unit outline,  this unit needs a lot of case study. OK...i figure that most all the unit i study this study is about case study. a lot of reading i guess, wish me luck~~~
there is no stop sign for raining.... the thunder costs me a light already...
