FA.

Since I posted about MNO, I thought it only fair that I wrote something about FA too. Actually, no. I am just bored of studying for OM, so I decided to do some blogging =)

Well, FA was really easy. Easy in the "I think I am going to get full marks for this paper" kind of way. Which is actually bad because we are all in this silly system where good grades are dependent on how stupid the other person is rather than how great you scored in the exams.

What does that mean? That means perhaps a gazillion other people would score full marks and all the results would be moderated and all our efforts would come to naught.

Then again, I am fairly confident in the quality of our project work, so I think if luck is on my side, I will still get an A for FA. (God, please give it to me!) So yeah.. That's that.

Back to quality management and 6 Sigma! I hope I don't die too badly later. =/

MNO.

I had my MNO paper yesterday and I am currently prepping my financial statements for FA later. Just wanted to take some time to write something in an effort to relieve stress, and also to just record this so that I would remember stuff next semester!

MNO paper was easy. Easy because the questions were very straightforward and quite point blank, and all I had to do was to flip open the textbook and look for the answer, and copy the whole chunk down into the paper plus some elaboration here and there.

The killer part was really the Case Study because there was scarcely anything to talk about besides stereotypes and discrimination. That coupled with the fact that the question asked two question but gave only one big chunk of space. I was a little confused as to how I should approach the question, so I just zhammed. Well, I guess I managed to get all the points down, but I didn't manage to elaborate much about my points. And on hindsight, they seemed pretty weak. Hopefully that will tide me through though..

I left the exam hall with a terrible neck/back ache. I was tense for the whole paper and basically inscribed all my answers on the paper. I was actually quite shocked that I was gripping my pen so tightly. I guess the stress really is getting to me. I only hope that I have enough mental capacity and clarity to think for FA later and I won't get too bogged down by the stress =/ The mock paper was pretty okay.

Well, that's that. I should return to my mugging. Peace out!

Random disparaging thought.

You know, I have really been studying harder than I have ever studied since A Levels. I don't even think I studied so hard for A levels cos it was spread over 6 months.

I don't know how I would feel if I get cui grades. =(

Wishlist.

EDIT:
You know, I remembered telling myself earlier this year that all I wanted for my birthday this year was money. Money to replenish my diminishing coffers, and money to save to buy my DSLR for Maastricht. LOL! I guess I forgot that while coming up with the wishlist.

But really, I think all I could possibly ask for is good company of friends and family, and to just enjoy one day of happiness after the hectic semester and crazy uni life. =) As an old friend used to say, serenity please!

-
  1. New pair of TYR swimming trunks
  2. Nikon D5000
  3. CAP 5.o for exams!
  4. A bagpack
  5. Jack Spade Bag

Okay can't think of any more at the moment. I shall put more put when I think about them!

The future pad?


This looks super comfortable! I actually shouldn't be looking at these things when I am studying, but this is really something like what I would want my dream house to look like - old whitewashed panel walls with a chillax corner to do some reading or cuddling =)

MUGGING MODE!

I managed to finish my FA today! That's the notes, I mean. Still have a few tutorials left and the mock exam paper before I can actually call it really done. But good progress!

I shall start on MNO tomorrow and hopefully absorb everything within a day! Really quite worried for OM because Lucy Chen said that there would be quite a lot of computation =/ But I shall start on that very soon lah! That's the 3rd paper, so not so rushed =)

Everyone jiayou for exams!! =) All the best!

NYKRT

I was going through stuff in my Gmail when I remembered the photos that Weilun sent me a very long time ago...

This photo was taken at one of our last few trainings, I think. We had so much fun then! And I was thin. HAHAS..

It's strange how I can remember all the sights and sounds of Kallang and doing all the work-outs on the Smith machine, how I can see the whole place in 3D in my mind. Yet how everything is all in the past, no longer existent, no longer a reality for me...

Did a tree fall in a forest if no one sees it?

"The more people read your blog, the less you write what you truly feel in it." I was just thinking this when Quantum Mechanics popped into my head. I was reminded of Young's Double Slit Experiment and how electrons act with wave-like properties without agents but act like particles when there is an observer in the system. Confused? Watch this.



Right. Now you have a better idea of what I am talking about!

There's just too many things and people to consider to even want to bother to write anything. It's quite sad really.. I never was quite bothered by these things in the past. -Shrugs-

Perhaps I can use this to turn to creative writing! =)

Building pieces of my dream.

I have only shared this dream with a few: to open a books-cafe. I remember someone saying that it wouldn't be very feasible, but hey, a dream's a dream right? I will make it happen one day.

And here's roughly how I want it to look like:
The idea is to have a cafe with gourmet coffee and great pastry at the ground floor and a library/bookshop on the upper floor. The target audience would be both students and working professionals alike, looking for a place to chill or just to mug without being chased out. =)

Random thoughts on a Tuesday morning.

Hi Blog. No really. Hello blog! I haven't really talked to you for quite a long time already.

I finally finished all my projects! Well, not really. I still have my OM report to submit by Friday, but that's almost all done =) That means I now have some time to breathe and focus on planning my revision.

When I finally settled down to think, I realised that University life isn't all that it's cracked up to be and I suddenly missed my JC where one didn't have to think much before one acted. There are comparatively so many sensitivities in university that it starts to drain me.

And it's not just that. It's the fact that there's nothing else after university. After this 4 years, I am going to be thrown out into the big cruel world called 'society', and I would have to join the ladder climb. That means I have to make the most out of what I have here in university, and it means I have to get a better CAP than what I am getting now. Stress!

All that would be alright, but somehow I feel as if I lost my sense of wonder. I feel as if I don't dream anymore and I don't ask anymore. The world seems to be pushing me away from myself, squashing me with the limitation of time.

How do I stay above the fray?

For now, I am just going to focus on my studies to make sure that I get everything right. Off to mug!

回到过去

Somehow listening to Jay Chou songs or instrumental pieces always reminds me of Taiwan and the days in SOL when we went to Starlight.

我要去台湾!

IPPT.

If you didn't already know, I failed it by 2 seconds. Didn't something like this happen in OCS? Only the last time, I missed gold by a few milliseconds.

Am I upset? Not initially I guess. Just a little now..

Oh wells, suck it up and "GET THAT GOLD" as all the machines in Khatib Camp says. At least I made someone feel better today. Hahas.
