Sem 1, 07/08: Reflections

Ah, today marked my freedom. Not totally free though. I realized i had so much to do, and i wanted to stuff it all in a day.
First I collate all my files, since i wanted to reformat my comp. I'm finally done with that. This is sucky if you done really clean up ur comp that often. Next I need to prepare a checklist, pack..AND READ UP my Harry Potter..its soooo overdue.
Hm speaking of which, I have some overdue pics which I will show later.
Hahz, here are my holiday plans lemme list down so I dun forget

1. Finish the Deathly Hallows
2. Revise German 1 (Urgh, Study!)
3. Christmas Caroling plus rehearsals(sure is gonna be fun)
4. Celebrate my belated birthday with a key shaped cake or whatever :)
5. Pack my stuff and hope everything turns out fine
6. Buffet @Jogoya (a mustmustmustmustmust)
Shall update the list if anything pops up

Well since the title said reflections so now i shall do one
This sem...phew...is really a rough one..I'm glad I'm over with this sem
There were obviously many ups and downs, wished I could turn back time and turn those bad things around.
It started out badly, when I found out that in week one, I wasn't as keen to study as i was the past two sems. I remembered my yr 2 days was spent at the library daily..non-stop RBR-ing...haha those were the days..i remembered returning those RBR books 2-3am everynight just to chiong..Glad it did paid off..
So I hoped when week 2 or 3 came, I may slowly get the pace..but NO..it still din come through...Sighz..so i tot..maybe change this sem's strategy a little
so i decided to implement the CHIONG LAST MINUTE Strategy..while still reading lecture notes after every lecture(Immediately after one)
Unlike last sem, I did not touch the textbooks as much as I did before. It was very minimal, which worries me
So came the day in wk 6 where i had two exams. Surprisingly, they turned out quite ok, and I was very surprised with Biz Policy. So i thought studying last minute paid off huh.
Then right after sem break there was this VERy DIFFICUlT Financial Market mid term which had a 40 percent weightage. Immediately after the exam I had a bad headache, thinking I did badly. But a month later,I got the results and was quite satisfied:)
Then came the wake up call, when I screwed my Investment mid term. Coz i got below the class average, which made me supppper worried.
From then on I sooo hate investment banking that i vow not to take up a Investment Banking job (Banking job like in OCBC still can ler)
Then after those crappy exams were the projects. Out of 5 modules, four had super loadful of projects, which I suppper hate...
Then the feeling of working with ppl u dun like makes it even worse..BAH..shall not elaborate here
Then came the final exam: Investment wus OK, Strategy totally sucked, Today's Service ops..I'm just speechless man..Oh i forgotten Cybercrime and Financial Markets totally sucked as well..i tot both was goin to be easy..but NONO
So with all the sucky exams, I guess I'm prepared to get sucky grades huh
But I took away some lessons to be learnt this sem
NEVER STUDY LAST MINUTE
STUDY RIGHT FROM WEEK 1
Hehe, i will follow this religiously in my final year, after I enjoy my lovely holiday
I guess the challenges this sem was the transition from level 2 to level 3 modules..and loads of projects, it made me totally worn out lor

Ok i guess that's it..nid to map my modules, harry potter, so mannny things to do...PLS give me more time..and alot of pppl to meet too

PS: If you try very hard to read my blog, then u know why I always get B+ for essays and never A's coz I never organize it properly muahaha
we will see my results soon to prove it :(

Oh shucks i forgot my overdue photos hehe
I rewarded myself by having a sirloin steak at Aston's Express, PGP with pasta salad and baked potato as my sides. Tell you the steak was quite flavourful, but I was rather impressed with the baked potato which had butter smothered over it and the pasta salad..MMM..i LUV steak..i heart steak..so now I'm goin to try Hog's Breath set lunch keke..soup steak and MUD PIE..yums..gona be fat now..so bler.Hm but i cant afford to eat there anymore, until my SEP is over. PGP's so happening now lor, got good food, probably during my final yr will ask Ah Sze go PGP every Saturday night and try their Hongkie Baked Rice(mmmmmm), Beijing noodles super yummy slurp
and SOYA BEAn YUMMY my favourite..will go back to Aston's..will eat up the whole PGP..but make it cheaper la PLS>..i'm so poor..:(
Oh there's chong pang nasi lemak and cheese prata shop too..hehz

Two weeks Two weeks

Hm Today is me laundry day. So when I do my laundry, I always thought to myself" Wah, one wk flies har"
Anywayz, that terrible day is over. Two modules cleared in one day. What can I say?First I screwed my FM presentation, coz i totally went blank that day. So damn embarassed. Hope I dun leave a bad impression on prof, since I was his "good" student with "good" mid term results :D
Then came the so called "easy" 20 percent final exam. I mean it was OK. Expected questions like this, but can don so twisted or twisty or NOt. I don understand forwards and futures la wei...So that's the end of my crappy FM..Donno can get A or not, was counting for an A since i got "hee" for my Mid Term.
So my other potential cybercrime, guess what? Tony Chew did want us to fail. I studied "quite hard" for his part, and yet those answers which I was pondering between A and B. In the end, i got wrong since I circled A then B later on...FIVE QUESTIONS potentially gone!!!I cud have gotten 45/50...sobz..Well what to do
But good news is everyone did much poorer in their second test. So median 73 ME 8- U think can score A or not?A minus at least la plssss

So there you have it, three more papers, 13 more days, one survivor, who will survive??? MEEE!!!I've been slacking. I can't even study properly for one hour then i will either go down and read newspaper, go toilet and walk walk ...do whatever it takes to make me happy..sighz..i will try God i will try...

Ok try hard...
Ohz, the main reason i blogged was to show my mum this (Yea like she ever reads my blog, but will show her the pics nevertheless)

I want either this or this ok for my bday Ok..heee...so LOOOk up there properly and look at the design properly..NO mess ups :P



OK lucks for exams everyone, and ME TOO..i want all A's or 3 A's la..at least better then my forever 2 A's per sem..PUI

Counting the days

Haih 24 days..seems short..but yet so dang far
well..i'm taking a long and slacking tv break..
I got one more Financial markets report
I managed to overcome the super tough mid term
Now I'm just worried about the report, worrying how the lack of communication with four exchange students will jeopardize my chances of getting my Apple.
Mid-term shud be quite do-able
I really hope everything turns out fine eventually
Then comes cybercrime, argh..second half is terrible..what is the hell with hash functions, signature algorithm..its mashed..and i dun geddit..none at all
I know what is currency crises, but u call me to write some crappy report on it..i dunno how to start..and lack of cooperation just makes me worse..
NO HELP..NO TEAM WORk..SO FACK..
I will worry bout IA, Biz Policy and Service Ops later man
I dreamt that i got 43 for IA test 2..sucks..hopefully that its the opposite in reality
Let the the 14th come sooner..and 29th too

Project woes

I'm so facking sick of Project and the fact I have to face project members with different facking personalities....AH FUCK!
Today there was this small issue over me "wrongly accusing" some ppl for HEAVILY PLAGIARIZING...i mean DUH...its HEAVILY PLAGIARIZED alrite...so do i give a fuck?
I was soo tired from editing the crap u gave..so duh..i have to say its plagiarized..word for word copied from the article
Isn't it the same as copying someone's work...wth...anywayz
This person gave me the first impression of arrogance, think she's on top of the world, smarter than anyone's ass...
This is what u get when you work with ppl who are also studying in the so called top ranked university in the world..or at least the top 20 in the world
Well i had woes too with my second project group
It's not like I'm an unapproachable person (My other two projects group presently is doin fine)
So i don't see why I can't work with other ppl. Or it's just that I'm having a badbad sem
Working with shitty ppl. Whom i think are fucking arrogant, act like they know everything. But inside their shitty brain they know nothing

Muahahah...nvr have i felt and think so badly of project mates..NVR IN MY TWO AND A HALF YRS IN UNI
Probably i hated someone last sem. But it wasn't the hate that i'm feeling this sem
Well, i guess i just need to pour myself out here. And well if someone comes shooting at me the next few days. I will just say..Fuck!I didn't mean to say that..
And its just a vicious cycle coz i will start bitching about this person who said things bout me etc

OKAYZ...More project stuff to do and lecture notes to catch up
52days more to end of school and arrival of Germany
:)

Just another day

Well it's wk 5.

I suddenly had an inspiration. By staring at my "goals of this semester" hoping to get myself Apples, I had not much probs Studying(grammar error intended, pfffft)

But, Today my spirits had gone down.

U might probably wonder why????

Well. First, I was being sensitive, when I'm the LAST ONE TO KNOW about smthing petty. And my Good fren told me "You din even bother to ask"
WTF???U MEAN I DIn BOTHER TO ASK????
WHEN I ASKED No one can give me a reply. And when I try not to be so kaypoh, then no one even have the COURTESY to tell me. AND SAY i dun even BOTHER to ask...HOW NIIIIICCEEE....
So yes, i will be extremely sensitive, if you as a friend, dun even bother to tell me stuff...which is actually pppppeeetttyyy:P lol

Now then, came the nxt petty thing which made me a lil pissed. WHY would you choose to dump me all at once??HUHHUHHUH???
If I'd knew, I would have gone down with someone else, INSTEAD OF PATHETICALLy WAITING, and in the end , expecting NO ONE To TURN UP???

GRRRR....anywayz...back to Studying mode...

Gonna catch HairSpray tonight.

Two mid terms nxt wk:am gonna mug "hard" i guess...weee..mug smart

Air tickets this Saturday. Hope I land on a gooooodie deal...then followed by much detested Insurance purchase and Visa and TADAH..Ohz stupid application too
