mood a little affected only. nothing much de. =(
results are out. that's the reason behind it. even though I know that's what I deserve (or do I seriously deserve it?), it kind of shocked me somehow or another. well, it is indeed shiok to receive results via SMS. because the moment the SMS comes, my heart stopped beating and everything stopped right there. it felt like the end of the world, for that one moment.
I was so glad that I didn't fail any units. at least that saves my dad's money. but I was unhappy by 2 of my units. law and finance. is it due to the high hopes that I've pinned on these units? I just didn't expect it to turn out like that. I was expecting it to be better, because my internal marks wasn't that bad either. the higher you climb, the harder you fall. mood a little affected lorh. just a little nia...
come to think of it, there are many sides to a matter. I passed HRM in the end. *claps* even though the marks were a bit borderline. well, that's one fear which I've successfully overcame. the stress, the hard work... at least it did pay off. at the very least, I didn't have to drop management major. as for finance, guess its time to really sit down and think about it lo.
law was kind of disappointing to me la... but then I always felt unsecured through the open book exam. yup, so maybe its just me handling the paper that drag the marks down. in other words, perhaps I seriously don't know how to handle such open book exams lorh. not used to the kan cheong-ness, the flipping of pages... screwed... totally screwed.
in general, results are not good. surprisingly the worse that I've expected wasn't that bad after all. but the good ones did turn out unexpected la. maybe I spent too little time in my studies this semester la. not going to let history repeat itself, I shall improve on whatever mistakes I made in the next semester. jiayou!
will be in singapore starting from tml onwards. prepare for the marathon, bander's batch lunch, marathon... should be back by monday. =)
~jiayou~

its 26th november today and I am like totally not trained up for marathon. *oops!*
oh my goodness, my 2nd 10km during my 18th year of life.
haha, fang xin, I didn't aspire to be a long d runner.
and anyway track and me are like totally not linked larh.
just going for fun... *?!~*
I realised that coming online in the middle of the night has became part of my lifestyle.
ok, that implies that nowadays I am not sleeping early.
its always the quietness at night that enables me to 'work' efficiently...
browsed through some banders' blog tonight.
and everytime I do this, memories tend to resurface.
especially when I visited a classmate+bandmate's blog.
then I realised the low profile I used to have back in nanyang.
it was kind of like... nobody remembers me sort of stuff...
ok larh, in 312'04/412'05 maybe I just liked to be low profile.
well, there are just so many stars shining that I bet nobody actually notice me.
haha, am I right to say that ah? *looks around for acknowledgement*
also because of the identity of a foreigner, I guess that's why contact is hard to be maintained.
after graduation, I came back to Malaysia and I bet not much people know that. =)
that's how LOW my profile was.
101'02/201'03 was rather memorable.
because that's where my primary-secondary and malaysia-singapore transition set in.
I was lucky, because I have a group of friends that are always willing to guide me. =)
and I am glad the contact with Kylie is still rather-well-maintained.
well, I had a rather high profile back in those years (for being laupok in studies).
I don't know how many of my classmates actually remember me by now...
because of my disappearance after graduation...
ok larh, there are still a few that I keep contact with (i.e. yingxu, datou, kylie, ivy).
but in general I would classify myself as 'mei you ren yuan' 没有人缘 lorh...
because... ... ...
nothing serious about this post la...
just feeling that I am a bit far from the world I used to live in.
the part about band... *speechless* *think*
a mixture of happy and sad feelings.
and it became one of the reasons for me to link back to that world.
I don't know la.
just hope that I can meet up with people during this weekend's trip over to singapore.

well... well... well...
STA travel just sent me my flight itinerary. this reminds me that results will be out by next week and it will determine my exchange programme. OMG, that's scary. because basically that four marks that will be shown on WES will be setting my path and controlling my future.
oh yar, so tentatively I will be flying on the 11th or the 12th of february 2008. that's like 5 days into CNY. haha, but luckily I still get to collect all my angpaos before leaving. =)
for my own reference:
MAS (MH0149), 213511022008.
SIA (SQ0117;SQ0237), 185012022008;231512022008.
***
almost 1 and a half week since I came back from KL to JB. basically rotting away, because everyday seems to have no zhong dian. haizzz *shakes head* accounts are at february now, 6 more months to closing. hee... then I will happily claim my new phone! =) after that, maybe see just 'yan jiu' how to cook and bake stuff with mummy lorh...
haha, even though I always make the claim that my holidays are rather free, I realise its not!
coz I am constantly planning for trips to singapore, ipoh, kl, penang, sabah... ... ...
oh man, I can be busy even during holidays *pengsan*
ok larh, so next week de marathon will be there for sure. now still contempulating whether to stay for a while more longer after the event, just for some catching-ups and meeting-ups. will update you guys when I decide! =)
hmm... planning for a trip back to kl also. basically to return the law book, hiao around for a while and also to shun bian go back to ipoh to visit my great-grandma and to submit accounts. hope everything can be done in one trip, if not I will have to waste time travelling on that yet-so-boring north-south highway. by the way, its not HIGH to travel on the HIGHway.
meanwhile, time nowadays are mostly used to do accounts, watch teevee, 'learn' how to cook and also surfing the net (in attempt to do some read-ups for self improvement). zhong dian will live her life with zhong dian de. so zhong dian needs to constantly improve herself in preparation for the future challenges that are yet to come... (whoa, suddenly got common sense. *hee*)
ok la, hope the rest of the holiday will be meaningful for all of us, no matter working or just rotting away. living life to its fullest, isn't it right? =)

'Researched' on some details about the singapore trip that is still in planning stage.
then I found out some hostels that are catering for youth travelling purposes.
being budget travellers, cutting costs is one major aspect when planning for any trip.
woohoo... so it makes the planning much complicated!
ok larh, will try to accomodate everybody and eventually formulate a 'perfect' plan. =)
pre-marathon event is on the 30th november, friday in some hotel that I don't know.
but anyway, thanks to wy yeen for letting me stayover at her place throughout the weekend.
well, at least I don't need to travel to and fro just for the marathon.
plan to gather all the banders for a meal or something some time during the holiday.
as far as I know, As are ending soon. so I hope all of us can meet up.
~yasi, jamie, chia ming, davina, jacklyn, yumin, yihuang, yixi, elissa, margaret, audrey, eleen, zhuo jing, vivian, monica, ying xu, yajie, ivy, yanzhen, aiwen and me~
21 of us. haha, pardon me if I spelled anyone's name wrongly or I forgot somebody.
heh. drafting the emails tonight and hopefully it will be a successful event. =)
as for 2/1 and 3/12, erm... inform me if there's any gathering larh.
missing many people...
~kylie, yanting, hooiwen, karen, shisi...~
~libing, elaine, choonyee, fangxuan, atee, alisa, jaclyn, weiting, yanni...~
oh man, how long has it been since we last met?
finally its the primary school friends that I would like to meet up with.
heard about another gathering to be held some time in december.
hope it doesn't clash with my sabah trip.
haha. looked at the photos on friendster.
heh, surprisingly I can't recognise some people d... *oops!*
of course, not forgetting the MUFY-ians.
haha, wait for jiajun to come back... then mingzhou...
and we'll have a gathering!!! (sing k lorh... haha...)
oh yar, and ryan too! hope he comes. =)
k larh... this post a bit the mei you zhong dian. haha.

I am suffering from serious withdrawal symptoms.
please don't get the statement wrong. I didn't get myself addicted to drugs or alcohol. the withdrawal symptoms comes from friendship. ok, this sounds ridiculous. but days of not seeing the gang really makes me feel bad and uncomfortable. its like after one whole year of yacking, laughing, luan-ing with them, suddenly you don't get to see them as often as you did. it doesn't feel good.
so here I am blogging about people that made an important impact on my life this year.

so here I am blogging about people that made an important impact on my life this year.
- the first one that always comes into my mind will be suchin (aka dajie). well, really glad to know her. honestly speaking, I didn't know her well when we were studying in Sunway JB. haha, luckily we managed to click well. if not I seriously cannot think of whom to go to when I need someone to be by my side. thank you dajie! =)
- david (aka princess). hey, thanks for being such a nice friend throughout the year. having spent most of the time with you, gossiping and yacking... and of course not forgetting the working hard part (even though its much lesser than the 38-ing times). I am not sure if I will be seeing you next semester, but let me tell you this, no matter where we are, you will always be the princess D that I know of, always being around us to 38 together! =)
- speaking of david, almost certainly it will link me to weelian (aka xuezhang). he was the first one I called on the first day of orientation! heh, after MUFY coming into BBusCom, it wasn't an easy road all the way. thank you for being there whenever I need help. because of you, I was able to survive for many assignments. hee... even though till the end I still haven't go ice-skating with you, I believe there are more times to come and one fine day we will definately go de. =)
- vui dak (aka ah dak). I don't remember clearly how we met la. somehow during orientation we managed to click. heh, and you are the first one that we celebrate birthday for leh!!! (despite the fact that my birthday was just 3 DAYS before yours.) but still, all because of your birthday we found our first excuse to go out together. hee... thanks for being such a nice friend. thanks for everything. thanks for the memories! =)
- jimmy kor kor! ok, your piao-ing skills are improving because I seldom get to see you in semester 2. you ah, everyday also that blur blur look, make me confused all the times because of the 'different frequency' and 'different channel'. haha, thanks for all the leng xiao hua (cold jokes) as well as the MSN languages (e.g. ttyl, mia...). there are still so much for me to learn from you! =)
all in all, thank you for creating all the happy memories in year 1. xie xie ni!
*muacks* always loving all of you! ~xiao mei~

continue-ing on the wonderful week that I had last week...
thursday was deepavali holiday. due to the fact that the whole entire world will be out, I decided not to go any chio place. they all (suchin, aiyeen, tien lui, poh kim, wee lian, david and hunseang) came over to one utama instead. had shakey's pizza for lunch, then decided to come home and rest rest because everywhere was just filled with people. as the chinese say, people mountain people sea... haha.
yup, so while suchin, tien lui and david continue to shop in one utama, the rest of us came over to my house with the initial intention of watching a movie. but we ended up playing PS2 instead. heh. after that the 3 shoppers came over and we waited for the correct timing to chiong out to chow yang pasar malam (it started to rain at about 6+).
even though we didn't exactly finish watching one movie larh, but we manage to watch about half of a movie entitled 'mr. coconut'. haha, that movie was an antique movie which was extremely hilarious. so the hee hee ha ha was audible all around the house. wait and wait and wait...
finally went out of the house nearing 1930. and the zhong dian of the day is finally here!!! we were at chow yang walking in between the pasar malam stalls!!! ok, this was one of our long-time-dream which was realised only after 2 semesters. walk walk walk, ate many stuff like fried chicken, asam laksa, fried fish, tau fu fah (soya beancurd 'flower') and so on.
sometimes I think a good meal essentially doesn't refer to expensive food lorh... I mean like, pasar malam food that are considerably cheap and wide in variety can be served as a good meal as well! and of course, most importantly, the people that are dining with you makes your food taste differently. =)
after pasar malam was another zhong dian. I brought them over to KTZ at SS2. gui jie, hope you liked it. long time never eat mango loh liao... haha, surprisingly we met some coursemates there, like not in sunway but in SS2. as usual, the hee hee ha ha session beside the road. and by this, it means that we were sitting at the parking lots! (this sounds dangerous, but the taste of the loh seems to be nicer this way... haha...)
***
friday was the 'last' day to hiao around. mainly because on saturday daddy and mummy will be coming up to kl and bringing me back on sunday. so I decided to go all out on this day, ignoring even phonecalls from my parents. (oops! sorry!)
the day started with k session at redbox pyramid. ok, promised ah dak and er laopo since don't-know-when that we will go sing la. xuezhang came along as well. so there were 5 of us in the room, HIGHing... =)
after that will be the sekampung orang activity (suchin, aiyeen, tienlui, weelian, david, vuidak, pohkim, hunseang and me!). we are going down to titiwangsa!!! not forgetting to mention credits to our 'tour guide' of the day, mr. CK. (friend of poh kim) *applause*
the mentioning of the place titiwangsa... what does it ring a bell to you?
haha, let me tell you, there are so much more than just the eye on malaysia. yup! istana budaya, muzium seni and perpustakaan negara are all there (culture 'palace', art museum and national library). to my astonishment, malaysia actually has an art museum which showcases art pieces of several genres. went into one hall which was exhibiting works of young artists... contemporary works... impressive! =)

A picture speaks a thousand words!

ok, so the zhong dian of the day!!! *grand entrance* EYE ON MALAYSIA




woohoo. being a malaysian, now I am proud to say that I have sat on the eye on malaysia. its nothing particular larh, just a ferris wheel that is being marked out by the tourism board and being positioned in taman titiwangsa. from there, KL's city view can be captured magnificently. its really not true that the scenery is nicer at night, because basically the lights will come from the twin towers... -_-"
having paid RM100 for the ride which lasted approximately 15 minutes, the 8 of us had lots of fun inside. pictures of faces and shoes... I guess that 5 rounds in the common gondola was just worth it. well, at least for the memories, the fun and not the money. and most importantly, we achieved whatever that we aimed!
***
so that was what we did on the friday night. and the whole week ended... just like that...
year 1 ended just like that too...
I really had a lot of fun during the week and also the year. love you guys!

AFW 2851 Accounting information system and Financial modelling
MGW 2230 Organisational Behaviour
MGW 2351 International Business
MGW 3401 Strategic Management
oh my tian! these are the units that I will be taking in semester 1 2008. doesn't everything look pro? I mean like, looking at the unit title, I don't even understand what will I be studying lorh... and I start to have the projection that I will be dozing off in class and struggling stressfully to achieve the hurdle requirements already.
how I wish we can always redo year 1. I mean like, taking units such as introductory microeconomics, accounting A, business statistics and so on... of course, MGW2430 will be excluded from the list larh... and we just do these units over and over again... just keep our uni life that way... on and on... over and over again...
there I go, dreaming the impossibles again. haiz. realised how fast time past, year 1 just ended. well, it ended on the 5th of nov, that was the last day we were in school on official business (which was to sit for the last paper). after that everything ended. I won't say it ended on a high note, but it is unfair to conclude that it ended on a low note either. it just ended, with serenity, peacefully and quickly.
Bachelor of Business and Commerce is suppose to be a degree course that is estimated to be completed within 3 academic years. each year we were suppose to complete 8 different units (that is without any failures and repeats). apart from the 6 core units that everybody enrolled into the course are suppose to do, others are all non-compulsory units which we make our choices based on our desired majors. for me, I opted for management and banking & finance major. this combination leaves me with 3 elective units which I have yet to confirm.
this sounds damn spastic but meaningful. 1 year has just gone by and I hope I had completed the 8 units that I am suppose to complete. AFW1001, ECW1100, ETW1102, MGW1010, AFW1300, BTW1200, MGW2430, MKW1120. all these units are just so familiar yet so strange to me. I know I have been through them and obviously I would not like to repeat any of them, but deep down somewhere it just feels like I haven't put enough into it and I ought to do so (that is, if I am given a second chance *choi!*).
enough about the academic academic part. I should just pray hard and hope that everything turns out good on the 30th of november. *pray*
and the hardest times are always the after-exams-waiting-for-results times.

I won't say it ended on a high note, but it is unfair to conclude that it ended on a low note either. it just ended, with serenity, peacefully and quickly.
Bachelor of Business and Commerce is suppose to be a degree course that is estimated to be completed within 3 academic years. each year we were suppose to complete 8 different units (that is without any failures and repeats). apart from the 6 core units that everybody enrolled into the course are suppose to do, others are all non-compulsory units which we make our choices based on our desired majors. for me, I opted for management and banking & finance major. this combination leaves me with 3 elective units which I have yet to confirm.
this sounds damn spastic but meaningful. 1 year has just gone by and I hope I had completed the 8 units that I am suppose to complete. AFW1001, ECW1100, ETW1102, MGW1010, AFW1300, BTW1200, MGW2430, MKW1120. all these units are just so familiar yet so strange to me. I know I have been through them and obviously I would not like to repeat any of them, but deep down somewhere it just feels like I haven't put enough into it and I ought to do so (that is, if I am given a second chance *choi!*).
enough about the academic academic part. I should just pray hard and hope that everything turns out good on the 30th of november. *pray*
and the hardest times are always the after-exams-waiting-for-results times.
Saturday, November 10, 2007
10th november 2007 is the date for today.
it has been 5 days since I ended my exams.
and it has been 5 days of play time. =)
money caps paper was alright. everything appeared in the tute solutions before. just that my
memory is not that great, thus half of the answers that I wrote are pure crap. haha, but lucky enough whatever that I studied was useful. I mean like, not only for the exam but for the unit as a whole. this is great. so we shall now look forward to 30th nov where it will be judgement day.
***
so papers ended and play time started. pyramid trip was so so considering everybody was exhausted after the sleepless night of cramming in tute solutions. walked here and there aimlessly, till we decided to sit down for coffee and to 'plan' for our programmes. steamboat at night was rather fun, coz the 8 of us at the table was obviously luan-ing each other. haha. pictures pictures. =)
ok, the 8 of us were: weelian, hunseang, jimmy, zixiang, aiyeen, tienlui, suchin and me.
others: rexwind(hiao hiao), huat beng, raymond, yian-yian, yvonne... +4 don't-know-what-name (can tell me if you want your name to appear here. heh.)
haha, hunseang's reaction was exceptionally fast when it came to 'fighting' for the chicken wings. its like he threw the ladle down and the next second you can see him at the buffet counter taking chicken wings. heh, still have to give some applause, because he took back adequate amount of chicken wings for all of us. =) *applause*
david was slightly emo that day. so we decided after dinner to get him something NICE as a treat. due to the fact that I did not drive to school that day, I had to rush for time because I promised auntie kuin to be at sunway foyer by 10. but in the end, at 10 o'clock we were still in pyramid choosing cheesecake. *forgive me for not being punctual* the speed-walked from pyramid back to sunway foyer in 10 mins. boarded the car only at 1050. oops, sorry for keeping auntie kuin waiting for such a long time.
anyway, heard that the little snacking and chatting session over at david's place was cosy and comfortable. oh yar, I'm not sure if the drink that we 'grabbed' was caramel macchiato or not. heh, but it was quite beautiful, having two layers and stuff. glad to see that princess D is happy with the surprise =) essentially, that's what friends are for, to be there when you are down and to cheer you up by putting a smile on your face!
***
tuesday was the girls' day-out, suchin(dajie), aiyeen(jie jie), tien lui(gui jie) and me!(xiao mei). went to the gardens and midvalley. well, after settling some business at home, I left home only at 11. washed car at USJ and then went to midvalley. lunch was enjoyable, coz we had bread from breadtalk, dim sum snacks from tai thong stall, takoyaki from jusco supermarket and desserts from food junction. heh, all the small small stuff... but its so nice a combination afterall... =)
shopped in FOS and apparently bought quite a lot of stuff. found roxy pants that are only RM33.90. woohoo, and bought another black polo tee. oh yar, managed to grab a sweater at RM19.90. heh, I was shocked at the low price... as compared to other branded boutiques, the only advantage that FOS can give is that they sell you the brand but not at the brand's price. =)
after FOS went over to the gardens. ok, high-class shopping centre is really high class one lorh. the shops are way different as compared to the mall's, however everything seems to be so high class that no one seems to be enjoying it the way shopping is. I mean like, every shop that you enter, salesperson will be staring at you, thinking that you tend to spoil their items and re-arranging them the moment you put it back onto the shelf. bleah...
went into edc by esprit. tried on different clothes, realising that how beautiful it is and how poor my wallet is. =( I know larh, its damn wrong to be taking pictures in the fitting room, but judging from our financial situations, the only way to satisfy our wants were to take pictures. =)
*not going to post any fitting room pictures here. hee... that's PnC.*
dinner at din tai fung was great. I didn't know that there's din tai fung in malaysia in the first place. at first thought of eating dragon-i de, eat a bit of xiao long bao then go back hostel eat burger... but since din tai fung was there... heh... might as well just grab a bite there lorh! =)
***
wednesday was the long awaited kl trip. covered lots of places. sungei wang, times square, low yat, pavillion, klcc... xuezhang missed this trip because he sprained his ankle. obviously we can't ask him to come along because we were walking in excessive amount. and if he came, I bet his leg can straightway throw liao lorh. so there were 10 of us altogether, being suchin, aiyeen, tien lui, jimmy, vuidak, poh kim, david, hunseang, zixiang and me!. =)
had lunch in some hongkong cafe in sungei wang. then walked over to times square and shopped for a while. bought something from fashion city. =) then went to low yat in attempt to search for an appropriate adapter for er laopo's lappie. and that attempt failed because he didn't carry his lappie out. but its a nice trip to low yat because that place resembles sim lim square in singapore.
sungei wang, low yat and times square... vuidak was the tour guide for those places. based on the fact that zixiang had came to KL city twice on tuesday, he successfully brought us to the pavillion. *claps* and kita sekampung orang started to walk in this high high class shopping centre, marvelling at products that are so impossible to us. =( ok larh, not exactly impossible, because we consumed something from there as well. just that it wasn't from an apparel shop, it was from a cafe!
me and dajie queued for donuts! it was the 'famous' J.Co donuts which almost everybody in town was queuing for and it was one of my pre-determined aims to queue for it. yup, so we spent close to 45 mins of standing in the queue, just to get that 1 dozen of dough. ok larh, but it was nice anyway. =) after that we happen to see a jazz quartet while sitting down to rest our exhausted legs. the saxaphone player was so-so, however due to the fact that I haven't meeting a real life sax player for such a long time, I was quite drawn to that performance. =)
after an expensive dinner at food republic, we decided to go over to KLCC. first thing its because back in KLCC we do not need to take monorail to sentral and then change to a bus. second thing is because it is in our initial itenary. third thing is because we have no idea of where KLCC was.
-_-"
yup, so what we did was to head out of the building and find that two towers. fortunately there's somebody with rather good direction sense and remembers the fact that we've been to wisma UOA before. so we embarked on our journey to KLCC based on the memory and instinct. oh yar, and we walked by KL Convention Centre. and this place resembles esplanade!!! oh my tian, I miss that place lorh...
whee... so we took damn lots of pictures and there you go. =)
ate donuts at one of the pavillions in KLCC gardens. haha, then as we were walking towards it, there was this guard that whistles whenever we step on the grass. so funny. haha. after that went to pharmacy to get ankle support for xuezhang. and together with 2 donuts, it was a treat exclusively for him! =) *see. we're nice people.* wahahaha...
came back to kelana jaya station at 1030. another late night. hee.
***
ok larh, continue about the week some time later. now have to pack my stuff and wait for daddy and mummy to reach. going home to jaybee tml. =)
the sorting out of the photos shall be done at a later date. just sent to me whatever you all have.
thanks.
muacks!

28 hours later, I am back.
and I realise how frequent I blog nowadays.
exam period ma, no choice but to write all the 'reviews' lorh.
now that HRM is over, I don't feel that I can make it for exchange already.
its not that I want to make it sound so disappointing larh, but its just that after the paper,
all the hopes seemed to be dashed.
internal already not very good, after doing the final paper,
it seem to be hinting to me that majoring in management may not be my cup of tea.
days of revision, moments of burning midnight oil...
all these are just the routine. never seeming to end at any point during uni life.
rush for assignments, prepare for exams.
is that all that entails with the title 'bachelor of business and commerce'?
I bet there must be more to it. it won't be that dull, will it?
oh yar, one important thing to mention today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Aiyeen and Tien Lui!!!
they turning 19 today leh!!!
haha, even though its in the midst of exam period, but still...
hope that they will enjoy today larh.
money caps, my last paper to come.
eh ivy, my papers end liao then I only got 3 months of holiday leh.
you have about 6-7 months larh!!!
tao yan, I want that long holiday also lorh!
haha, don't jealous larh. we all taking different exams marh.
As leh, not easy. that's why need to be spreaded over so long period.
anyways, jiayou larh, it will be over soon de!
all the best and just do your best lorh!
as long as leave no regrets then ke yi liao!!!
I shall see you in december then =)
actually using dajie's comp to blog now.
its 645 and I am suppose to be in sunway library by 7pm.
haha, forgot to bring windbreaker/sweater today.
pekchek. got myself frozen in the bloody 9608 lorh.
sommor today I was seated on seat C12. the one that is near the pillar.
haha, that 3 hours, I don't know how I managed to survive from it larh.
by the way that 3 hours seem to be 1 minute.
everybody was just writing and writing.
it wasn't like law paper where the atmosphere is kan cheong due to the flipping of pages.
today, it was just silence.
a mourn to my exchange?
k larh. gotta go.
exams are really turning me into somebody I no longer know.
hand pain, brain exhausted.
and I have one last one to go.
jiayou jiayou jiayou!
~do my best and leave no regrets~

12 hours later, I am back! =)
ok, and now I am at lecture 5, 7 more to go.
I am quite numb towards exams leh...
like feeling nothing about it anymore.
all that I know is, I need more sleep.
seriously lack of sleeep these days.
eyes also not functioning properly.
then got headache.
so on my desk now there's a pile of medications,
panadol and eye-mo.
job analysis and job design.
oh gosh, I start to think that all about HRM are common sense.
is this because I don't understand?
or maybe because I just can't be bothered?
either ways, I hope I am still able to score for tml's paper.
please remind me to sleep at 2230 today.
I need that sleep in preparation for the 'battle' tml.
and of course, 2 hours before that will be teevee time.
ok, I am just relaxing myself. need to rest my hand sommor marh.
then read the last minute notes before I go and zzzZZZ...
by the end of the day, I think I will still sleep at about 2330.
wahahaha. waking up at 0700 tml.
paper starting at 0830, estimated to end by 1140.
oh my tian, imagine what will I be doing 24 hours later.
I should be comfortably sleeping somewhere over the rainbow.
and after that, it will be a finance-y weekend.
haha, hopefully I don't turn out to be another dr tng by monday.
I don't want to be a finance freak.
I just need that finance knowledge shj. =)
and it will be the final paper.
oh man, how fast time pass.
its reaching 1500 d...
I better carry on with my work and pia finish everything!
Do it with my best, leave no regrets!
lastly, all the best to everybody that are having exams.
particularly to all those having As now, I know its not easy.
jiayou jiayou jiayou!

jiayou jiayou jiayou!
2 down, 2 more to go.
what I've to say is, its gonna be over soon. =)
hand pain, really very pain arh...
and imagine I have to go through it again on friday as well as next monday.
*pengsan*
I wonder what will happen during HRM on friday.
will I be just sitting there and rot?
or will I be writing and crapping at the same time?
either ways, I will still have to do my best for revision prior to the commencement of that paper.
its hard larh, I would say, but its not impossible.
challenges, they just appear in life.
they are always there beside you, hoping that you will fall and fail to overcome it.
one after another, since don't-know-when...
some people barely manage to struggle, some just gave up.
I see no point. take it and face it, isn't it the simplest way?
with determination, I bet I can finish all the 12 lectures by 10pm tonight.
(take into consideration that it is 0241 of 1/11/2007 now...)
currently done with 3 of them, one being the don't-understand theory one...
heh, left with the 10 HRM activities to be read and revised.
believe that I can do it. =)
I really try not to review on my marketing and business law papers.
I know that during that 5 hours of answering time, I did put in my best.
mental blocks, frozen hands, 'pointless'...
all these circumstances have occured.
haha, and yet I still think I've done whatever that I thought I would've been able to do.
one thing, never believe that an open book exam is going to save your grades.
I mean like, obviously there's a catch to setting such a low hurdle and having it as open book.
it meant that the exam is just not as simple as what we presumed it to be.
books were allowed, so did dictionaries.
but time just went 'tick! tock! tick!'...
not allowing you to make fully use of the resources that you have in hand.
I believe, at that particular moment, that our future lies in our hands.
the speed that I wrote, the unglam gestures of throwing notes onto the floor...
ewww, law paper was simply not enjoyable.
haha, hope that HRM will be a better one.
even though the structure is almost the same, having 3 hours to answer.
10 minutes of reading time, closed book...
approximately 10 pages to be written.
the next thing that I can ever think off, is hand pain.
oh my tian, friday and monday, then it will be over.
first thing that I want to do after exams, rest my right arm totally =)
oh man, that's the thing with taking units where much writings are required during exams.
*bleah*
wish me luck.
and my HRM marathon is halfway.
29 hours and 30 minutes more.
I need some time for sleeping.
I need it now and before the paper.
is 15 hours enough?
sakit tangan. tangan sakit. kepala pun sakit. mata nak tutup. selamat 'malam'!!!
what I've to say is, its gonna be over soon. =)
hand pain, really very pain arh...
