Quality Time Management

2010-12-07T22:56:00.002+08:00

Sigh.. Good times sure passed by quickly. I seriously wondered if I have wasted my 5 days of block leave. Actually, it should be 2. Friday was counted as an off-in-lieu ( i have already forgotten the reason behind it) and Weekend was considered rest day for civil sector ( a great thing for NS also practice the 5 day work policy). Tomorrow gotta book in to SCS again. Can I considered myself as the fortunate ones who are kept at the training institute? The answer is : I don't know. Well, on one hand, I am glad for my dream of becoming a SGT @ tekong seems to be right on track. The criteria to passing out is clearing SOC within the stipulated time of 10 min and silver for IPPT. The former is giving me quite a bit of dilemma if corrective training can push me to a higher level. This indirectly means that my sat morning will be utilized for these trainings. Argh..

This week schedule has already been made known to some of us. We are going to book out only on SAT night. The thought of it really make me moody. I guess I am just a spoil brat who like to complain and whine. That's my life. Hope this will not affect my new bunk mates!

Recent News

2010-05-30T23:01:00.002+08:00

I have not updated on this blog for quite some time. Main reason: Too lazy to do so =) Recently do I notice that it is again the mid sem test festival. Lol. No pressure this time round as I am not involved in it. The most important thing which I seek from the poly days is the freedom to manage your time. Say for example, after class I can choose to hang out with friends or do my work. Everyday is especially meaningful when you get to see different types of people. Presently, work has become a repetitive type of life. The calls and lunch time have been 'fixed'. Last week was especially short since I took leave on Wednesday and Thursday I had compulsory leave. So the reverse finally prevail with 2 days work and 5 days leisure.

Now do I fully appreciate life as a student. It is fortunate that my chance will arrive in 2 more years. Meanwhile, I will have to contend myself with the Colourful NS life. A new experience beckons me come this Friday. Also the question remains if I should quit on the day before or enjoy a day break in between? I will monitor the situation tmr and come to a conclusion by then.

Time to refresh my ipod playlist. The same monotonous songs really irritate me and some will make way. As the sayings goes: 旧的不去，新的不来!

2010-05-13T23:34:00.002+08:00

A song speaks a thousand words. One of the songs which I like presently.

The lyrics are super meaningful :

你是無辜的你的寬容卻放縱我的快樂
你是受害者你受夠了離開是最後抉擇

對不起說話大聲
對不起不負責任每一次都傷你傷的更深
我承認是我錯了
自以為聰明的很其實我太愚笨

就承認吧聽不懂你說話沒有錯連自己都覺得尷尬
就投降吧丟掉我的武裝對不起溫習你說的每句話

我是無助的你離開後畫面全部都停格
我是自私的我嫉妒著你和別人的快樂

對不起說話殘忍
對不起太大男人每一次都傷你傷得更深
我承認是我錯了
有時候太過愚蠢但我是認真的

就承認吧愛已無法自拔沒有錯面對你我沒有辦法
就投降吧將我雙手拷上對不起請你帶我回家懲罰

發現自己太愛假裝明明在意又不敢講
受不了自己這個樣愛就愛不必多想愛就是醬

就承認吧自以為的傻瓜沒有錯連自己都覺得尷尬
就投降吧丟掉我的武裝對不起離開你我變得慌張
就承認吧愛已無法自拔對你我沒辦法
就投降吧將我雙手銬上帶我回家懲罰

Nothing much to post since work is a routine cycle. There are two big events next week : Graduation and Audit Competition. I am not really prepared for both of them. Currently doing some personal stuffs: games, musics and manga. Hopefully in the long run, I would not be too slack. Haha let nature takes its course...

Labour Day

2010-05-01T23:04:00.002+08:00

April has already left us and today is a brand new month, May. Perhaps the fact that today is labour day does not make a difference to me. Yes finally no work on a Saturday weekend. I have been slogging for the past few weeks. Up till today I think I have only taken one day leave. One was for the NTU interview and another was for the audit training. The emphasis on all these matters can't be stress enough.

Even though I was not accepted into my dream course, I will definitely appeal come 20 May. But I am definitely grateful that two local university has considered me to be eligible for their programmes. Yes, I did not apply for SMU because the way of theirs thinking are different from mine. There is still grumblings to be heard though I am quite contented of the outcome. My dad told me to be contented for what I have achieved given my input. He pointed out that there are others who don't make the cut. Indeed, I should be grateful that I secured a place there. A lesson learnt make me realised that not all things go in your way and appreciate what I have.

Other than the acceptance letter, I have also received the inevitable NS enlistment letter. According to my conservation with the NS Officer, he said that this batch was for those who fail their napfa. So another additional two months? The intake is 4 June 10 and school 3. What about my world cup? I waited for 4 years to watch this. Back then in 2006, I was having my mid-sem and did not catch them in action. So officially, I have only watch the 2002 final.

Ok, back to the topic National Service. I am still pondering if I should retake my napfa. Time for me to pull those bars. I am going to force myself to be physically fit. The reason is because a fit NS man has more opportunity for different vocation. And usually those with top wages or manageable workload will be prime target. Working @ IRAs will continue as per normal for now.

Revisit

2010-04-29T23:29:00.002+08:00

I have decided to reopen this blog for my own sake. I realised that too many things are kept inside me driving me quite worn out. Let bygones be bygones. Ever since I joined IRAS, I have been more open-minded and develop a different mentality towards people. The reason mainly because of the other type of people I see and work with daily. In school, my goal was purely to study hard and get to a uni. Nothing else, simple as that. Maybe I was exhausted when I completed the 3 years of poly life thus leading me to a mild depression when I graduated in feb. This bad feeling has suppressed onto me for a while and it took me some time to think it over. The reason is I have unknowingly become pessimistic...

Being in the capricorn sign, I seek almost perfection in whatever I do. (provided I feel the need to do so) Expectations are high on myself and others. This may have led me to ignore some friends and offend them. For now, I will slowly find a Real Me. My own personality.

Tmr is gonna be a bright day. Half day work and half day at sch. This Monday I went back to sch and soak into the atmosphere. It was definitely great. Though my batch of senior were not that, I still felt at home. 3-4 years I have been in TP and this feel can't be simply describe in words. One last lesson with Mrs Cheong in TP Biz Sch. Plus collect my participation cert and graduation gown. Whoo... Looking forward :D

2010-03-23T23:21:00.002+08:00

I feel that it is time to let go. Holding on to the dream is just not practical. Maybe the truth hurts but the differences existing is simply too great. Many time I have tried, and I failed, cos I believe that day. Clinging on has made me very tired. Void of feeling - the best way to deal with all matters. Pinch of salt or avoidance is the way to neutralise the feeling.

It has been almost two years since I get to know you. 最初的感觉无法形容，因为就是这样简单. 祝福祝福唯一祝福是我能说的-因为我累了. 大多数人会不晓得我指的是谁- 我看你也不知. 没关系，我决定把此blog献给你，所一味着当时你给的推动力. 当时我有个念头，要放弃了而把他关掉。只因，希望你能路过而观赏。笔者认为可能到此结束是对的，莫莫因数让我做了这决定. 谢谢你陪伴我这漫长的3年...

I think I just get to know of myself. The competitiveness nature in me is indeed strong. This the sign of a capricorn. Have been slacking for the past 2 wks since the end of exam. The result was released last friday and it was not too bad. Nthing much to complain abt it since my expectations were kept to a bare minimal. Next stop will be definitely be NS enlistment. So for the time period I am going to enjoy my present slacking attitude. Even though I am learning new tax knowledge daily, the feeling is not right since I am not at school. Gotta to miss the lecturer ways of teaching. For now, I still get to see most of the same ppl everyday. Is this a blessing in disguise? Lol.

Anyway, the next few posts were be bitter sweet memories of the three years poly life. Honestly speaking I am a forgetful person. I can partially recall something if that matter intrigues me. So my hard drive is mainly RAM. So it keeps on overwrite the previous data. The foolproof way is to list them down here and keep it forever. For now, I seek to rediscover myself and look towards the future.

One last thing: Tmr will be Chelsea vs Inter at Stamford Bride. It is a touch call where u pit a former manager against you. How emotional... The Blues or the special one? In paper, there is only one winner. This is the cruel fact...

2010-03-09T19:07:00.002+08:00

Sometime, I just think too much. Simple as that. Ever have problem sleeping at night? I had these problems once in a while. Why? The reason is staright forward as 'applications' are still running. These applications known as programs, in proper language means our thoughts. So the thoughts run wild and I can't stop them. Try stopping them and the result is more deeper thoughts. For example, I will fret about the sufficiency of what I have memorised for the exam during that period. It has become worse as the years go by and I become afraid of them. Consequential of such behaviours would be unable to sleep = insomnia and after effect - lerthagy when you wake up in the morning. So what is recommended to have a healthy lifestyle? More sleeping hours which is definitely. But how seems to be the question!

Keeping in mind that my thoughts totally shut down when I am mentally and physically tired. Mentally is about the thoughts aspects when you can't entertain any further. Physically means the tiredness when you feel after a jog, eg. soreness on the legs. Do I have to achieve these in order to have a good rest? I am still searching for one. Some people resort to use sleeping pill to dose off. It is not advisable as this will harm the body after multiple usage. Circumstances change when one is in a surgery room and it will be complicated to operate on the person.

My purpose of this post is to remind myself that one of the important aspect of life is a good sleep. Without them, u can see me all worked up and short temper. My solution to ease myself is to listen to heavy rock song in the morning. This is definitely not advisable. Otherwise, I would still be tired after the sleep. Ironic right. When you have the desire to slp, u get none. When u are wide awake, u dun have any drowsiness. Wow... to conclude I tell myself relax and all systems will do an automatically shutdown and not overrun programs on a limited ram....

2010-03-04T11:35:00.002+08:00

YEs the day I would expect everyone to be happy has finally arrived since last friday. This time round all the papers will quite challenging and I doubt no one will disagree. I guess I should not ponder too much over them since it is already over. Not quite my style right. Another exam syndrome I developed is the excessive stressful thinking. I could not sleep until 2am for the company law paper. Yucks... I think I have develop a fear of exam. In the past, I would look forward to these exams as the holidays would be round the corner. This time round, I wasn't so enthused by these prospects. Nevertheless, I feel a sting of satisfaction that I have completed this diploma. 3 years are quite long and it definitely challenge me both mentally and physically. The more important part would be the mental aspect. I have fine tuned into a new sort of mentality over the years but these can be still improved. Enough of test and exams.

What does the future lies for guys like us? I think is the inevitable National Service. Not that I am dreading the day to come, as nature will take their course. I need a long break (from studying and taking exam) thus explaining why I did not take the AFP certificate. The years have taken a toll on me and I have to reflect on my performance. The satisfaction has been dried up and it needs more time to find the touch. After a week of playing games, I am also quite bored. The repetitive nature has been registered in my brain cell causing me to feel sianess. Haha if there is such a word.

Ok I guess I should have some targets for these breaks.

1. Improve my command of language (A very important task given the chance to go uni or evern work in the future) That means lost of my casual singlish identity.

2. Meet up more friends which I haven't seen for a couple of months/years (Though I dun have much friends :D )

3. Plan my next path in life. A financial planner, sort of.

4. Finish my manga and anime before I book in to NS. (I want to preserve my identity and not be negatively influenced by others)

5. And enjoy my present life by adapting.

Well, thats' all. There aren't much to blog anyway.

2010-02-24T10:31:00.002+08:00

It's no use crying over spilled milk. The 'what if' question has keep on been popping up on my minds. SIgh... Life goes on and is changing as we speak. The unpredictable nature makes the universe so interesting and lively as at the same time so scary. Because of the first step taken, you would not know what will happen as a result. Sometime, I really am unsure of my decision. Since I have bravely taken this way, let me accept it what will bestow the holder of its dream.

What am I talking about? I am not sure myself. Let the unknown be known in the future...

Exam

2010-02-18T16:38:00.002+08:00

Time to focus on the exam. Really need to start preparing and reading up for this one. Hope everything goes smoothly. God bless...

CNY and Main Exam

2010-02-16T22:53:00.003+08:00

Yes it's the annual CNY festival mood. Not that excited like when I was of younger age. No particular reasons... perhaps time has washed away the innocent years. Anyway, I went to my relatives' house and collected the must-take ang pows. Yes, watched the shows on tv channel 8 and U. Not realli nice cos they are recycling the few shows. Except for the my wife is a gangster 3, I didn't catch the rest. I even went online to check out the show afterwards and found out that it was a few years show. Omg. Seems that I am not up to date. Each year, I catch lesser than 10 shows in the cinema. Quite sad rite. :(

Ytd, my family went to catch a show at Marina Sqaure, the true legend. Yes, guest starring jay chou as special appearance. No particular like or dislike of the show since it remind me of huo yuan jia and ye wen. How come all the martial arts show seem to be the same? I am not insulting the director but the market seems to be copying each other. Sigh... I bought the love stories every long song tells a story. The first cd was still ok. When it reach the second one, I sort of regretted it cos it was those oldies. Omg.

Some motivations are needed for next week final semester examination. Trying hard to move into the right gear since my state of mind is still so relaxed. I am going to push for it, self discipline. So jia you for the last one.

“I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.”

2010-02-05T22:52:00.002+08:00

A lot of things happen within the short span of past two weeks. From rushing of projects to last minute binding and copying of tutorial answer, it has seriously been quite hellish on all of us. But most importantly is we survived all this. How well did I fared? Personally, I don't think I did that well as I wished I have done. Never mind since I did indeed tried. Quite a tiring and draggy semester. Nevertheless, quite a fruitful one I guess.

Next week, I will be having audit test on Thursday. Argh.. another test before CNY really is quite anti-atmosphere. I have decided to start preparing audit test tmr. Chapters by Chapters. Next week need not go to school for most of the days. Revision days are creeping up... Are u ready?

Today is my chinese birthday. Didn't really celebrate that time. Must make wise usage of my precious time. Chiong for the last semester!

Sense of Calmness

2010-01-28T21:44:00.002+08:00

Month of January going to end soon come next week. Ya awaiting for the arrival of February. Looking forward to it, maybe because feb will be the final testing. No more test until 2 more years later if I get into uni. Maybe I will go take up the CFA cert that they are going to mention on monday. Just to add on to my testimonial. Hehe.

Anyway, FA projects submitted liao and was a pretty okay one. Now left with PFP and company law on monday. Almost done with the former but the latter nid much more brushing up to do. And finally it will be sum up with a audit test on the following thrusday. I hate to admit it but growing more lazier this sem. Haven't touch the tutorial for quite some time. Nvr mind, I will do it from next week onwards. Yes, uni application will be open next monday. With the ever rushing, semester, I think I nid a break. Tmr shall go shop for my second piece of clothing wear for CNY. Ya that's all. Nthing much interesting these few weeks.

Promise

2010-01-20T15:17:00.002+08:00

Tdy presentation wasn't that too to be honest. Last minute presentation and moderate powerpoint slide was that fantastic. Was getting cold feet when I started presenting to the class. Maybe the audience was not so participative unlike ytd. My inventory presentation was better as I gauge my own performance. Nvr mind, it's time to head back to company law for business. I am trying to like the subject in order to have the feel of it.

Going to mug for the company law which we are going to have for tmr. Following which will be the consultation with the pfp tutor on friday and submission on monday. I can predict the weekedn going to be a very packed one. Gambateh!

2010-01-19T21:10:00.001+08:00

Wao realli tired. This few days going to be siong to the max. Have to base all on my instinct and what i know. Gotta hang in there cos 忽然累了。

Deserve a rest

2010-01-18T23:11:00.002+08:00

I think I deserved a rest for tdy celebration. Yes it's my birthday. A veri challenging day which I try to attempt to do many things at one go. Later still must do the audit assignment and confirm the ap slide.Yes after slacking on the internet for 2hrs, it times to face the reality that I have to work doubly hard to push myself and the grp. Law test on thursday is also driving me to take a back seat on our project. Now I fully understand why a lot of the seniors complain abt this situation. Can't they improve the structure?

Enough badmouthing them. Main exam timetable is out and I really have no time to plan till there. Think I have to sacrifice my CNY for that. Ok enough talking, time to get my butt moving :)

TEsts and Projects

2010-01-13T17:11:00.002+08:00

Wow tmr FA test already. The third test since I came back to school. Are tests better than projects? For sure, test is a test of your knowledge in a hour or two if it's main exam. But projects may consume a lot of my time and there is no guarantee of an A. Sometime, you will have to depend on luck and other factors. This whole January is going to be a bumper car ride cos a lot of crashes among the dates. Take for instance tmr got company law in the morning before the FA mid sem test. SO would u want to buy extra time by skipping lectures? In the end, my ans is yes I am forced to do so. There is simply to much to do this semester and I try my best for all the things. Priorities are the main tools to differentiate the impt and the more impt stuffs. Sometime, I don't do my tutorial for I simply have other more impt things to do. And pls dun qns me cos I control myself.

Going to chill and chiong my revision for FA later. For now is relax time. Ya and give me some gd luck for tmr FA test...

Analysis

2010-01-12T21:33:00.001+08:00

Thursday going to have the FA test. This test unlike the previous two will be more challenging. This was suppose to be the most easiest among all the subjects according to one my tutor. But I beg to differ cos I am not really passionate in this subject at all. This reminds me of the last semester subject bank treasury management which simply was not my cup of tea. FA is definitely important I realised if u want to invest in the future. Frankly speaking it integrates all the other subjects into it making it more chim since it seems similar to econ, accounting and FOI. Judging from the speed of my project, I am a little behind time. Dun really like it though I guess we could play catching up in the coming weeks. The foundations are not yet really grounded yet but yes I have a rough idea of what to do next. This is what I called the planning stage of the analysis.

Going to gamble a bit for this test. Using a different approach to study but my foundation will be still on memorising. No choice since I believe there certain words that u would have to use to write a professional analysis. Ya lor the other projects also bugging me. And finally the Napfa test next week which I am so not confident at all. Should I just attempt to pass cos I dun think my pull up can make it. Not that I don't want to pass but I really have insufficient time to train up. I guess I will sacrifice my napfa. LOL. Projects marks mean more to me and the grade also. Napfa just do my best :) Yeah shall go prepare my fa liao

O Level

2010-01-11T20:16:00.002+08:00

Yes it has been 3 to 4 years since I graduated from secondary school. Today was the release of the 'O' Level result. I believe that the students were finally relaxed after getting back their result. The release of result for my batch was around Feb. It's was so scary when it was so near the CNY period. Imagine screwing up and the relatives bombing u qns how well u performed. These days I just keep my mouth shut unless they asked questions. Favorite qn for me is when you graduating ah? They see that I take so long in poly how come nvr graduate yet. Let me assure you that I am going to graduate soon in a month time.

My advice to the students are choose ur path urself since u decide and control ur own destiny. Personally, after not cutting out with the jc batch, I decided to make the switch to poly. When I first came here, I told myself I will prove those who disapprove all wrong. Through the years, I have grown up and be more sensible in my decision making. Nobody can call u wrong if u think u are correct. This is just the beginning for the 'o' level graduates cos the road ahead has only just begin the second part.

Yes I am still slacking cos I believe as time goes by what will be done would be done...

New Blogskin

2010-01-08T23:38:00.004+08:00

Decide to change to a new skin to revive my interest in blogging. I went to blogskin.com to find one and in the end selected this to be the one. A bright (not gloomy black) would lift up my mood a little after reading it. Why the craze for black to express ourself? Too emo for my liking though I do that once a while when things don't go in our way. Next few weeks going to be super challenging. Initially came here to touch up on the projects and ended up doing on blogs. What to do? Refrain all useless activities at least after the busy peak season. Yeah...

January

2010-01-03T14:38:00.002+08:00

First week of January and is already zapping my working force. Haha too serious to be true. I appear to be very calm throughout this semester. Perhaps I was warned of this by my senior and finally got the taste of it. True and behold, one test is finally completed. PFP is a very interesting subject. It is unlike the rest of the finance subject which I can't seem to relate to and have to rely on pure memory work. Shall not comment much on the test as there was nothing much to talk about.

Having just submitted the sip report already exhausted me with all the last minute rushing. Goodness how to do the AP report. Lacking the inspirational idea that should be ejected to the project. Some people commented AP as a demanding subject taking up lots of time meant for project. However, a gentle reminder to myself, if I didn't chose AP, I most likely would not have went to PwC. The experience there will always be etched to my mind and act as an inspirational time for me. Previous seniors have overcame the odds of this semester and I believe I too have the quality and capacity to handle the rest of January demand.

January - Where it's all begin! Maybe half a year from now, I will be thinking about the NS stuffs. Relax and enjoy the January session folks.

“I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.”

2010

2009-12-31T15:00:00.002+08:00

Last day of 2009 in hours time. This 2009 year has been exceptionally kind towards me and I had been able to do what I wanted. This is total of 3 semesters, 2 in half. For now, I am in 3.2 and left with half a semester to go. Usually, I don't countdown to a particular date or event. To me, what will come is inevitable. I truly believe in fate and destiny. Everybody exists and came here because of this affinity. Seems chim rite.

Gotta go hang out with some friends later. Hadn't seen them for quite some time. The upcoming projects and exam will have to wait till tmr when I am refreshed. What over is already history, what's coming is future and history in the making...

As usual

2009-12-28T19:45:00.002+08:00

Had monday morning lecture pfp at engine sch. Actually, i woke up later than usual and was a bit panicky. Even though my place is quite near the school, I still have to take 2 buses to reach. I was a little bit surprise that the bus stop at 201 was not so crowded. The reason I switch to shuttle bus was because of the jam there. Yay, and reached sch before 8.30am.

Finished the lecture and had to wait till 2pm for the tutorial. Quite sianz. Didn't do anything real meaningful in school except clarifying my doubts on sip and audit report. Both are due respectively next week. Sigh plus the fa and pfp project. You know the feeling of a half-filled glass. Glad that I have make the halfway mark but not the finishing line. I think this is even more stress than not starting at all. Shall go and review before planning the weeks ahead. Ciao.

To the limit

2009-12-17T19:28:00.002+08:00

Upcoming 2 months is going to be very challenging! Let me see, currently my outstanding list are as follows: log book to be improved on, SIP report (haven't even start), tutorials, FA project, PFP project, audit report and company law research. Sounds crazy with so much things to do. It's like I am superman chiong finish all. My target is complete all by this month, December. The Pfp project has already given me a headache with much research to be done. Worse still, my FA proj seems quite lost what to do next. Not enough time is the excuse. Shitty man. Last 3 months they give us so many things to do. Wonder how others cope. So carefree for some of them. Roller coaster ride here I come.

I am going to stop blogging for few weeks till I find some interesting post. Haha.

Distraction

2009-12-14T20:51:00.003+08:00

Should not think to much cos too much makes my thinking go wild. Not really the wild type u think you know except the complexity of people mind is hard to fathom. Shall stop thinking about those negative thoughts that gave me endless de-motivation. Only can I slay the demon and remain focus on my main priority. Feeling distracted and no longer the fierce passion chasing after what I yearn for. After much thinking and sorting of my thoughts, I realised that I was merely 'astray' by the notion of slacking. Last semester liao, must do my best regardless if I am tired or not....

Focus is the key to success. Let nature takes it due and not hurry through cos u want all to end. Believe in fate, trust in self is important to walk through this last part of the semester. Aniway congrats to Chelsea still maintaining their lead on the top of the table. I believe that this is their season as u will see in time to come. Aspire to be on Chelsea loyal fan and dream of one day going there to watch their match live. Stamford Bridge is a fortress and is impregnable. For they bask in glory so will I...

Confession

2009-12-10T22:07:00.003+08:00

This is my 100th post since setting up this blog. A lot of things had happen in between now and then. The set up of the blog was inspired by people around me blogging. Though this fever has since died down, I still keep my alive till today. Rest assured that I vision myself to blog till the day when my passion cease. Above statement seems like a preach and I don't want to talk more about it. Let's get straight into today main issue...

Have been observing people for a while. Most of my friends know that I am a nosey person who like to know more about others. I don't pry into other people secret though if I could. This help me to keep informative of all current events. Usually when I flipped open the papers, I would read the entertainment section (if there is no football the previous day.) For this period, I must admit that I have since cut down on such activities of asking around because I am simply quite busy with the outstanding list.

Back to my title, admire not aka to like. To me, the definition of admire lies in the mind. I know that I appreciate this type of people, things or objects because of its existance. Recently, I have been saying that i admire blah blah blah and my friends misunderstood my meaning. They thought that I like the person and would like to have in 'possession'. Sorry folks to mislead you. I just mean that there is sort of an attraction which I envy, if the word seems appropriate in this sense. Like is a stronger word which encompass more feelings that one have. All these definitions are based on Sam. S dictionary and should not be quote without the permission of the author, which is me. Currently, I like one person and is not the person which I said earlier.

I think those around me have been misled by me to distract away the limelight on the actual one. Haha. Normally, those I said out are not factual, look at jay chou for example. Movement and not speech should be the evidence of such doing. So happi merri go round.

Another issue is how people view me. I have heard (or maybe from murmurs) that I had a high expectation and difficulty to get along. If I may have indirectly cause any harm or damage in my verbal to you, i hereby say a sorry. A real sorry and not a fake one that I would cover my minor mistake. In my opinion, throughout these 3 years in tp, I am the dun care type. If you don't come disturb me, all will be fine and each go each way. This is my prinicple which I stick to when approaching people. My mood swings easily due to the stress I faced. Though this is not an excuse, please pardon me. My behaviour speak out loud of me as a person. This is a place which I am trying to improve on.

Suddenly, becoming so long winded in this post. Shall cut short by ending here... criticizing is not good practice and I shall abolish it :)

Self Control

2009-12-06T21:48:00.002+08:00

I haven't touch my tutorial for this week yet. Glance through the pfp and fa tutorial, I know that's it. Mostly thinking questions. Not that I don't like to think but if can copy straight from the lecture, why not? These days they want to move away from rote learning and gain knowledge from other sources. I am not really supportive of this as my mind is not that flexible. So what should I do for the tutorial... If I don't touch them, e tutor may check and said why u nvr do. If I force myself to try, I know mostly are from my common sense and crapping. I won't do that unless I have no choice. For example, I still remember back in year 1 this subject known as Principles of Management. I studied like crazi cos my coursework onli B+ and I wanted to score an A. There was a question which I could not answer and I recalled skipping that portion when reading them. No choice crap out some common answer. In the end, I got my A. Not sure if it contributes a part though.

The title self control means that I have to restrain myself from wasting my time. Playing PSP games seems to be the main culprit for now. Previously, it was the case of watching television shows. There aren't many good shows now except to watch online which I find it as a bother. So my solution was to dig out the battery and keep it away from e console. Really, I must start to clear my outstanding list now.

A better understanding

2009-12-05T21:47:00.002+08:00

Recently, I did what I usually don't do which is asking others out. So what's the big deal? Most of the time is people invite me and not the other way round. Previously, I like to travel around solo kia everything want to know. Now, I have a change of opinion. Maybe because of the internship affect me to think this way. I like to harp over things which are over. Looking back made me feel great and at the same time bad. It's true that I survive the 3 month that and score pretty well on paper. But I know they just gave me chance and I was not up to it. Self-critical is my process of growing and improving. I learn quite a lot of things from this 3 months which others might have know since long ago. The reason is I don't get this type of exposure and I am a 'suan' ku.

Initially, it was still ok and happy go lucky me going to work. But after liaising with other seniors, I had a whole new perspective of working life. Is it everyday u are a robot and have a routine manual? No, that's sick if you repeat it over time. I learnt from them various things and seriously very thankful of them. I think it's time for me to look other for people around me and not being too self-centre. Sometime being in your comfort zone would not make you grow.

Yesterday, I had a talk with my friend. This is probably one of the longest conversation since knowing her. Saw her maturity of thought after some months in the company. Gave me a fresh perspective of thoughts regarding the above thoughts. Gave me some pointers on that too. I remember one thing she mentioned which I thought was good. Luck= Opportunities + Preparedness. It seems that I have the preparedness factor in me but lack of opportunities. How to build up this chance is another issue and I shall not disclose. For me to know and practice only :)

Today, I met up with another friend. His ideology was different from my previous friend. He said that friends are like contract. Once the contract expire, it depends on if you want to renew. Sound interesting right. His approach is more pragmatic and I to an extent agree with him. So now I am a bit confused to whose it right and which is better. Should be my way is better. I shall reflect on what they said and think about it. For now, I better go chiong my tutorial. Ciao...

My Call

2009-12-03T18:10:00.002+08:00

I don't like to make decisions affecting other people. Maybe decisions that I have made will offend other people. Cleaning up the mess is equally bad cos I dun noe how to resolve them. The worst thing is nobody wants to be in your shoe. Quote an example: Year 1 forming a group was random pick. Luckily all was ok and the members are easy to get along. There was another time when I have pushed the group to get along cos they will not moving. Don't like to be a coordinator and a leader cos commanding the rest is hell of a task. One to one is still pretty alright. Now I have to make a decision to choose members. Should be easy if you have friends in the class. Problem arises when both parties are equally not so good jiao qing. Then how? One place or another might offend the other party. Dilemma, dun noe who to choose? I think let nature take their due course. Worrying about that is no use at all.

Independent is the key to success. I always rely on my instinct to tell me what to do. Shall trust it one more time. Becoming a bad guy is part and parcel of life.

Good to be back

2009-12-01T21:59:00.002+08:00

After 3 months working at PwC, it really feels good to have a break after the internship. It's true that project beckons but being a student is much easier than an auditor. The responsibility is a far cry from each other. Seriously, finding the joy of studying is good. After the 3 months n 2.5 year in tp, I have sort of accept that I will be going down the path of account/finance sector. One missing element which I find from the work is motivation. Initially, the idea of auditing a company attract me to wonder the various test being conducted. After learning all these skills, I found it hard to re-ignite the interest I had. I think this few months of work have me understand more of the real working life of an adult. Given a choice, I rather study than work cos the atmosphere is entirely different. This 3 months had sort of me allow me to reflect on my choice and learning to appreciate.

I imagine myself in 5 years time working and craving a career. But for now, i will seriously learn to appreciate every moment that I have to study. Time will tell everything and I shall wait for that day to arrive...

A right to be optimistic

2009-11-14T21:22:00.002+08:00

This is because the past few days have not been so smooth. As the sayings goes, you can't expect anything worse when things are already bad. Why is it bad? Maybe because of the environment and mainly luck factor. I do believe in this luck issue. A series of good performance can simply be attributed to the feel good factor. But when lady luck is not at your side, try so hard also not use. One way to have lady luck smiling on me is to invite her by being cheerful. I did some window shopping and checking out some stuffs which I have been craving for. Especially when I go to this particular shopping centre, I soak into their atmosphere and I will feel much better after a walk. LOL. I don't know why but this is quite true for me.

2 things which I am looking for this period. A camera and a wallet. The former has already been confirmed by doing some research. I have to change my wallet since it has already open mouth cos of the stitch. Branded one seems quite x and from some online users comment I agree with him too. He said that even if you get a branded one, inside if it does not have cash, then what's the point? His suggestion is must have a thousand dollar notes and branded wallet. His point taken since got external and no internal. Hmm, so I must reconsider since my current allowance aren't that great and my wallet would look thin. Haha. For now, I will do some researching on this too. Oops... reflection journal due wednesday. Sianzzz

Didn't get the chance to post this previously.

乐翻

奇怪，众所周知，我擅长表达于母语但是每当我写blog都用英语。原应是使用华语较兼挑简单。如果你有读的话，那你懂我英文多糟。我满讨厌遵守写标准英文的必要。可能是懒惰或是方式很多，有时我酝用方式一致让我觉得闷透了。讲究华语的我英文不适合我。

这几天都没什么东西做让我觉得很无趣。唯一欣慰的是跟其他人薪水还一样。现在，我能想到的是把握时间做些私事，可惜客户没网络让我们使用。我已经去打听下一个学期会据有挑战性。趁现在做些功课准备就绪。想问周围有没有游戏软件可以交给我。哈哈。

我看不如我利用这时间写我的blog (华语版), reflection and e-journal. 问题是周末要做什么呀？太多有的没的困扰着。看一下我工司的同事忙忙碌碌有一点可怜。没办法都是混口饭吃的，必须打拼做出事业。看来明年即将毕业的我，是时侯做一个决定了。

2nd gear

2009-10-29T16:30:00.002+08:00

Well I haven't write my reflection in my book though all is in soft copy. Shall start copying tonite bits by bits so that I can complete by tmr nite. Sat has to go back to school for the connect section. Starting to adapt well to the working environment. Now at client place doing some vouching stuffs. Quite routine work as have to search for files and look at invoices and DO. At least one good new is that I have confirmed my grp mates and all are ready to work. Now my worrying part is the SIP report that we have to complete by JAn. Haven't really start researching. Shall do so next mon since I wil be in office. Next week may or may not be busy depending on the manager. It's just a few week more and I will be back in sch for 2 to 3months. Fast sia since year 1 I have tot of this day. I like to plan early for things and I can said most are in place right now. Ns is the other thing after study. Not going to think of that right now. Enjoying now. Ciao...

Standards

2009-10-27T21:33:00.002+08:00

Have to be at office tmr morning . My record currently stand at 5 wks back to back audit. Quite fortunate to have so many work. This is the 6 th week which is also my 3rd client. This one a little bit special. Ppl who really noe me learn that I like crap talk. My log book is super full of information with some I unable to decipher myself. Looking back the past two clients, it was considered easy. This only applies to me. First client accountant was very helpful though I did not like the assistant. Hehe. Second client got two account assistants who were very helpful when finding the folders for me. Hem.. coming to the third one, it does not look as bright as I want it to be. The directors are doing the paper work themselves and one of them is not as friendly as I want to. They are ah moh and I tried my best to communicate with them. Dun complaint about them already. Make me sick to do that. I shall try to be friendly towards all. Hasn't done well for the 2nd job. Have to buck up seriously for this 3rd one. I still have 1 more 2 wks later. Hope to retain that or else in office veri men.

Anyway, Lo will be coming down tmr. Got to prepare everything to be ready. My log book is quite blank. Nid my manager to sign tmr morning straight away. Hope everything will go smoothly.

Uncertain

2009-10-25T20:32:00.003+08:00

I hate uncertainty because of the empty feeling that I possess. When I can't read a game, I feel upset. Even without going for the actual thing, I dread it coming. It's not something which I can do alone. If I can't have a definite answer, I would not settle for non definite answer. This feeling is going to spoil my days ahead. I can't feel wondering what would happen. It's inevitable nature would make me think twice. Be positive, that's what I tell my frenz. Yes, at this moment in time, I am not at all optimistic. My chance stands at 50:50. I am not in possession. It's like the coach telling the players to win the game. He can't control the game but could switch players. But is this the key to success? My example was to express how I feel right now. U can look ahead and sigh but u just can't avoid it.

Stepping up

2009-10-24T16:55:00.002+08:00

It's not easy. I know I am not at my performance for the past 2 wks. For this job, I can only said that my input level is around 70%. Not absorbing as much as I would like. Being lazy hasn't help me either. Been behind time for some assignment. Need to clear by this week. Should have more discipline in my action. When there's no one pushing you behind, I would tend to slack. Fantasy and not reality is my life. Like to think positive but can't as life is busy. Why can't it just stop for one day? Every time wasted will have consequential effect a few months later. Must step up my performance. No more soft play from me next week, all out attack.

This week target: Complete my outstanding tasks. No more delays tolerated. If there is, no excuse given...

白白的

2009-10-06T21:14:00.002+08:00

Angela Latest Song from her album is that nice. Her lyrics are veri meaningful. Hear it carefully and you got avril lavergine feel in it. Can't say she follow her cos I feel this is an insult to her. I won't like others to say that I copy who. Everybody has their own styles and happen that both use similar background style.

White is one of my favorite color. Maybe because it's free of dirt and show that it's clean. I like things to be new and clean. Not long ago, there was a mini quiz which ask about favourite colour. My choice was obviously white. Diao ma. And the result said that I was imature n have a 17-18 years ago thinking. I guess it's true ba. This few years my thinking level still there. Never really quite grown up. Is it gd to be a children or an adult? Not sure though.

Shall go and read up on my audit guide. Must force myself. Sigh. This way I would not have so tough time studying next semester.

Interesting

2009-10-05T21:20:00.003+08:00

So this is my third week at client place which is situated at Jurong East. Quite enjoy myself there. Can't bear to go back to office. At client place, it's so more relaxing. Maybe is the environment. Own time own target. Keeping myself occupied with audit work would distract me from the outside world. The topic is 'Interesting'. Y leh? There must be a meaning.

This job only got my team in charge, senior and myself. Once in a while, I would do my work with my senior, 2 of us. She would explain new concepts to me. As you know, I would pick up new concepts quickly. Don't know why when she explain I can't absorb. First time, this type of thing happen. Quite pai seh when she asked me the next day what I learnt, I would tend to forget.

In come my TIC into this picture. He would be there sometime doing his work. When he explain the concept, most of the time I understand and retain. Hmm... is his explanation better or am I distracted when she explained... Quite unsure though. Her voice made my thoughts drowsy. But don't get the wrong idea. Haha. Last few weeks working with her liao. She is going to switch career soon. Nvr mind. Enjoy my time doing audit and working with my TIC and senior. LOL....

In Search

2009-09-27T21:56:00.002+08:00

Have been doing a lot of thinking these few days. Self-reflection mostly. Reading the story named "Lost" which was shown on TV a few years ago. The person found inner peace after being stranded in the island. This led me to think what I was going after in life. Will it be too late before I realised what I seek? Some issues that I have been avoiding for a long time.

Have to keep myself distracted. More thinking made me more confused. Preparing for the work tmr will be the best distraction for now...

Forgetful

2009-09-25T21:22:00.002+08:00

Seems like my memory is playing a trick on me. I always pride myself on having a good memory. But during this period, I was like very forgetful. For instance, I have a new password given yesterday and I forget the next day. LOL. Seriously a problem. My Ram is corrupted. Damn must be too pre-occupied by the games. Must cut down slowly...

Anyway, this week was more fruitful than last one. Learning at my own pace is better than rushing me through. I agree that I should slow down a bit and not so panicky. Don't know what to write cos work stuff may be confidential. But definitely, more to come is the best word to describe the situation.

Took the train from Jurong to Simei. Halfway through, I was super tired and took one of the seats. Hopefully, ppl dun take my photo and upload on stomp. I sure k*** that kapo person. I would stand if I have the strength. This is just one of the exception case.

Tmr going back to sch for "reunion". Haven't seen them since the last paper of exam. Exaggerating... To me, work always come first. Sorri bro. And ya got an interesting question asked by somebody. It makes me ponder again whether I had made the rite decision or should I strike now...

Journal Pls

2009-09-18T21:42:00.002+08:00

I think this few days might have to submit e-journal online. 2 weeks have since passed and I feel as passionate as ever. Haha. Crazy rite? Maybe I haven't be been bored by those terrible accounts yet. Doing call over is chicken feet compared to the preparation of it. Definitely accounting is cool. Those numbers may make us feel mad at time. This week considered ok. Not much to learn as no engagement till next week. Looking forward to wednesday.

But the submission of e journal and written reflective journal turn me off. U noe I am quite weak in expressing myself using words. So researching on how to write. And when I free nothing to do in office, I also do my reflection. Then some of them tot I so hardworking doing audit stuff. Haha. Been told that I can learn a lot. Independent is the key for this company. Seriously, U c them walk up n down talking account stuff. Then when I bored, I go to pantry slack there drink milo and view the CBD area.

So how am I going to write? Will do for this week and next week. Next week super busi liao. Enjoy. Whoo...

Don't even think about it

2009-09-15T20:53:00.002+08:00

Boiled with anger after some incidents happened. Not a veri gd day. Lost my mechanical pencil which has accompanied me since secondary school. Very sad. Who would have thought of it happening. Anyway, this is just a minor matter compare to what really happen.

There is this person who irk me when I just saw her. She reminded me of someone back in another place and it was like seeing another replica. Anyway, it is a meance and I want to get rid of. I will not use the who, where and what cos it's dangerous. Just name this person as #. # is a very crafty person but don't u think u can trick me. I seen through ur type before. # is not easy to deal with. I came in peace and she came with malice. Remind me of Ade***yor incident though I am not RVP.

# tried to snatch my things to do. Tic for tac, I warned you. When you do something to me, I will make sure u think twice. I am not for you to bully. U ***** . I will not degrade my self to use those words on my blog. U watch out!!! Don't act blur. Inner and external beauty, u possess none. I got time to play with you. I rather let others than u.

For those who don't understand, pls don't bother cos this is my inner thoughts. Tkss....

Experience

2009-09-11T21:10:00.002+08:00

Well, ytd was the official first day of work. Didn't do much thing except for the reading audit guide. It was very good but I don't think I understand all of it. Some of them are too advanced for me. One thing that I like about the firm is their culture. Maybe I haven't been working in office style before and my impression of them are somesort different. The staffs are quite approachable and most of them guide us along. Though the initial stage we might feel strange cos we don't quite know them. But mostly will teach if you ask. They have a culture of teaching each other. I went to the other floor to return files and they took me where to return cos I quite blur.

So in summary, my job for these two days:

-Return files three times 13th and 14th floor

-Did casting (Recalculation twice)

-One Call over

Simple rite. This period is non-peak ma. Too bad we have to return back to sch in Nov. Or else can learn more things. Going to client place real soon in two wks time. Therefore, I am now going to read up their accounts. Luckily, they are still using the old standards. The B/S and PnL more easier understand than the comprehensive income.

Ya ytd receive result. Quite satisfied overall. Most importantly is that I am glad that the things I learnt are mostly applicable here. At the office, one can heard them mentioning depreciation and audit. They seem to know their things. And their database are good as they give you an overview of what to do. Much has to be learn thrugh experience and not merely thrugh the form of reading. Tmr is saturday and can wake up later. Very tired for this few days. Enjoying myself. Whee...

First Day Training

2009-09-07T21:39:00.002+08:00

Tdy went to work at Raffles Place. Early morning took the mrt and it was so packed. U can imagine that packed until no place read newspaper. So I was like standing like a sardine and it took me abt 25 mins to reach there. First thing I saw was some of the anf ppl standing there waiting. They also start on tdy. Chatted a bit while waiting for pok chang.

So, in total we had five small talks. But the duration was like so long with so many information. I was tired after the second one. Luckily there was lunch to recharge me. Can't reveal too much cos I using the info to write my ejournal. So basically, I think the main thing is to adapt to the environment. Tmr will be another long day. Fast if the content are interesting....

A whole new day

2009-09-06T15:59:00.002+08:00

Well veri looking forward to tmr working at raffles places. But have to wake up early in order to be there on time. Don't want to leave a bad impresssion for the first day. Not very well prepared as I was not really focusing on revising. I believe that based on what I know should be able to aggar aggar answer their questions. For those who are curious which company I am going to, I can tell you it's a big 4 accounting firm located in Raffles Place which have their own bulding. This clue should be able to guess ba.

Anyway, this few days were not productive which means slacking around with nothing much to do. Yesterday nite watch the saturday nite show on channel 8 about theives. I think it was a good film since it bring across the msg in the end. Such a sad ending which I wish could change. Sometime one has to face up to reality and not hide like a coward. BE brave be strong. Will update on what I am going to do for this few days. Awaiting...

Incomparable

2009-09-02T21:24:00.002+08:00

This was the name for jay chou concert a few years ago. I feel that was suitable for him cos everybody was sort of challenging him. Why?

Does fame have to bring one such comparison? I don't think they are necessary and cause unrequired stress onto the person. Let's apply to study. Some say that comparing to last semester, this semester was so much challenging. Why not another way of looking at it. This semester is a new one and shouldn't be compare with the previous one. Start from new, why comapre.

I think this is the lastest approach which I will adopt. Previously, I will also compare myself with others in terms of all aspects. Now, I don't think this is healthy at all. I tell myself, hey he is he and I am I. Why comapre?

So eveyday I will have a new mind set of a brand new day. 无与伦比.

What's Next?

2009-08-28T17:45:00.002+08:00

Today was the last paper and it was quite alright. Can't say that it is too difficult cos the lecturer already guided us as best as he could. Not forgetting that comparing with last year, it was a relief. Not so tough, manageable. Even so I still lost marks for some sections maybe due to lack of practice and moodiness. Last paper sure shag after this whole week of roller coaster ride.

Monday was fundamentals of taxation. Also some calculation error. Luckily my theory should be alright. Tuesday was corporate reporting and audit which was also another challenging paper. I was quite pleased with the first portion until the last component of audit section kick in. Woo that may be the difference. For this subject calculation was much better done than theory. Wednesday was Bank Treasury Management which was quite expected. Really quite glad that I had a balance of theory and calculation correct finally. Of courese, I put double the effort for this subject since it was my weakest among all. Until I found out about...

Ya anyway completed all, I should be happy and relaxing now. Also got to know my SIP today with all the details. Satisfied with everything except maybe the pressure coming with it. No doubt have to do my best.

So now I am going to jot down all my schedules for next week. Only have a week of break till SIP commences. Looking forward to that day. But for now it's time for me to chill...

Exam Time

2009-08-14T17:20:00.003+08:00

I Will go and start revising now. Bless me with good luck for main exam :) Gambatte Kudasai...

Expectations

2009-08-13T21:06:00.002+08:00

Today is the second last days of sem 3.1 . Morning had BTM tutorial and CRA tutorial follow by CRA Revision Lecture. Kinda of long from morning 10am to 4pm. What to do? Must tahan and adapt. In few weeks time, I am going for SIP 3months. I think that is second matter compare to the main exam which is at the crucial stage.

Previously, I like to expect things offhand and most of the time when I don't get what I want I will be pe che. Therefore, I have now sort out my expectation n let nature takes it course. Input what one should do and don't think about output. Chim... This is what I come up with to reduce stress level. Shall go and do some practice now...

For the Better

2009-08-11T09:53:00.002+08:00

Yesterday went to clinic downstair to visit the doctor. I am merely having common flu according to what he said. Feeling slightly better today. The medicine made me so lergthagic and I end up sleeping in the noon. Didn't do much during these 3 days. Wasted them on sleeping and recovery. As Starhub has free preview for these 2 weeks, I watched the match Chelsea vs Man U community Shield. I think the match was properly played by Chelsea. They could have done much better. Luckily they won against them via penalty. Sweet Victory. I hope that they could win the epl title for this season. Hopefully...

Have to really start revision this week. Later having AA tutorial. So fast time flies. Sure will miss the good tutors that taught me this semester. They will very helpful. Will they be my tutors for next sem? Not too sure though. Enough worries about that then. Gotta focus on the main exam for now. Till here...

FLu

2009-08-09T12:47:00.003+08:00

Not feeling well for these past few days. I think I caught a flu. Shouldn't be a severe one cos i came contact with only a few ppl. Should be well by tuesday. This few days would be resting days for me. Still have to complete my tutorial first before going to sleep.

Also, Happy National Day to Sinagpore! Enjoy!

In the End

2009-08-04T20:55:00.000+08:00

Well today was just like any other days. Usually nearing the end of the semester, we would get back our project and coursework grades. Today, I just got back my AA project. Reviewed the whole things and was quite satisfied with our work. At least this shows that my efforts were all worth it. Of course not forgetting those who had help us deserve our applause. At least now I only need to be stressed for the first 3 papers. The last one is much more safer than the rest. This time round, I promise myself that I will do my best and not give up unlike other times. Now the worrying part is one of the other subject. That is my weakest among the four of them. I will definitely put extra effort to do well.

I think this post will remind me not to give up when I face difficulties. Throughout these few years of educations, I have faced many obstacles and still get over them. This is nothing to boast about. I think everyone of us can do that if they want to. Always put in your heart in whatever you do. Main Exam is at the end of this month. Time for me to do some preparations and homeworks. That's all till here...

Worn out

2009-07-31T19:49:00.000+08:00

Even though this few days just go sch for lectures and tutorials, I feel very tired easily. Maybe because of lack of sleep. So many hrs wasted on watching tv and doing tutorial. I haven't really did a proper revision of the topics yet. Might need some time to discipline myself to do so. Miss the days of NPCC. I was very strict with myself. Haha. Need to buck up really.

Yesterday, got back my CRA project and was quite satisfied with the written portion. Could have definitely done better. Glad that Mr Chan marked the paper not so strictly. Well I think he's a great tutor. I usually don't praise others. Trust me. I 'swan' more than I praise. He makes this subject more easily to be understood maybe by the way he present those facts with layman terms. As well as his notes to supplement our learning. Tks man. Really appreciate it. Anyway still left with the oral presentation which he yet to sort out. Hope to do well for that too.

Today, went to AA and BTM Lectures. Today topic was much more interesting than previous chapters for AA maybe because I could relate back to my project. Next wk, should be able to see our result for AA project. Hope to do well so that the pressure on main exam is not so huge. BTM lecture was pretty ok. Had to sort it out myself and understand better. After that was the seminar talks. Went for NUS talk. Quite understand what was being driven across. Just the overall picture. Could have been better if they mentioned abt courses.

Ya, thats all. And one last thing is could certain shop don't have discount suddenly? How come the price drop by $10 one day???

Never give up

2009-07-29T17:40:00.000+08:00

This is it. All class tests hurdles and projects cleared. Got back some of my results and I was quite ok with them. No complaints since you reaped what you sowed. Only left CRA project and AA project which I haven't get back. I am quite scared of the former. But anyway what over is over. Tmr I will get it back. This few days have I have been planning ahead for my upcoming exam. I have yet to determine the best way to study to my advantage. I will think of it soon. Still remembered complaining when I just study those topics. New subjects are quite demanding in the first place. Now I am coping quite alright. Of cos much can be still done.

Just came here to blog about my feeling right now. Maybe I will experience differently in one week's time. Haha.

Motivation push

2009-07-25T16:29:00.002+08:00

I need some motivation seriously. Been slacking this few days and not wanting to touch my tutorials. Not that I really don't know how to do but mainly because of the lazy mood that I am currently in. Really hadn't been at my tip top condition for past few days. The plus point is that I now try to pay more attention during lecture period. It's not about just writing what you see at the screen but listen and disgest. Can't we have the model answer? I think that will be better. Provided with the workings. Haha.

Need a break and a boost for me to start my engine. I think that the reason I failed last year. I still remembered this period where I was so panicking for the class tests. In the end, main exam screwed up. Mainly time for me to reflect and plan for the coming 1 month yo examination period. Must also try to curb my computer usage and slacking time. At least, I think sleeping is much better than these two activities. It helps to recharge my body. Gotta force myself to do tutorial for next week.

Always try to keep urself preoccupied or else one will die of sianess. Ok time to do my tutorial. Chiong liao...

Second mindset

2009-07-23T16:08:00.002+08:00

This few days have been quite smooth sailing when there are not much expect from us. Completed with all the class test and projects. I quite enjoyed this semester pace as it was quite suitable for me. My combination of AA and BTM were quite challenging. I think the subject of accounting is boundless since new rules kick in all the times. Banks too have their own products and all this I feel that is essential for me to learn. Mankind is a smart species, they think of new things and try to made the world a better place for themselves. We just do not sit idle and wait for things to drop from the sky. We create things for others to cater to our needs.

The examinaiton timetable is out. It seems early that we are going to have an exam soon in one month time. Naturally, the first thing which i do when i receive this type of information is to look at the dates and sequencential orders. This time round, I think it is pretty well organised except that it would be much better if it started on friday and end on friday. Year 3 subjects are tricky, I would said. They build on your foundation and expect us to know them. I think my foundation is pretty stable cos I ususally have no problem understanding new concepts. I still remembered that my AA project requiring me to build on PCA and FOT knowledge. Constructing the SOCE was tough since it was so long since I draw up one. Luckily, all was fine.

Anyway, my exam last for one week(Monday to FRiday). I think as far as I can remmeber this is the first time that my exam end at a friday for main examination. But no complaints. I think the timetabling department did a pretty well job in helping me. FOT follow by CRA follow by BTM follow by AA. There is a break in between BTM and AA which I think i pretty need it to refresh my brain.

I haven't exact figure out how to study these subjects. May have to accomodate to differents style because of the requirement. No worry. I should give myself one week break before thinking of all this exam. Whee...

Looking forward

2009-07-17T21:22:00.002+08:00

Quite satisfied with my AA project. Very sure that my group had put in our entire effort into this project. First time working with dulmini and cai ying. Both contribute in their own ways. Everybody can play a part as long as they tried. Quite enjoyable experience. Luckily, I have only one big project this semester. Overall, this project was considered more smooth sailing compared to FA2 and CAS maybe due to more accounting knowledge. Though the process was very tiring, looking back I really learnt a lot from my group mates and lecturers. Must learn to enjoy the process and life will be more fun.

Yesterday, CRA presentation was considered ok. Even though, I didn't have time to focus on that, I am still pleased with my performance though there are always room for improvement. Mr Chan questions were challenging as in there may be no fixed answer. This is because it is an open-ended type.

NO more looking back cos what over is gone. Now looking forward to monday tax class test. This test is very important. It will test my understanding of tax computation. Very applicable to daily life. And i believe that numbers will always be on my side. This course quite suit me as most of the things i expected are interesting.

The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. ~Mortimer Adler, philospher

Ganbatte ne for my tax class test on monday!

Deadlines

2009-07-09T17:08:00.002+08:00

This week will be a hetic wk where i have to chiong tutorials and projects. Next wk will be the submission of AA project and CRA presentation. This two already occupied most of my time. Thinking of a new way to present and make it more interesting. Haven't really decided yet what to do. For AA project, we are half way that. I feel that we haven't done our best yet. So have to do more thinking and could be better. Plus nowaday, the lecture and tuutorial aren't so easy as previously. Luckiy, I got friends which I could approach for help. Haha.

Seriously, very tired men this semester. Lesson starts at 9am for this 3 days. And go home already so tired. Enough complaining and time to get to work :)

One more Chance

2009-07-02T20:55:00.007+08:00

I appreciate the fact that I still have one more chance to prove to myself that I can make it. Got back BTM paper and was sort of numb- lost for words. I should have done better for it except that I practically did not perform at all that day. FIRSTLY, I mix up the meaning of exchange-traded and O-T-C. It was %&*^&^*^! Then I sort of saw wrongly 184days for 185days. The error carried forward cost me at least 1 mark. Then it was the calucaltion error which I listed correctly the figure for the formula. In total, I sort of mess up my paper for that day. Human error that what Mr Leong said and told us don't be too hard on myself.

I am mad with myself that I totally blow it. But nvr mind treat it as a lesson learn though I have been through this before and not learn the lesson. Monday going to have a BTM class test. I must start to like the subject and it will also like me . Maybe complaining have scare all my luck away. I tell myself that I like this subject and is able to count properly. Plus my passion for the subject. Pls let me do well for this subject. This is a plea to myself to heal this mistake. I must relax and calm my mind before going to revise for them...

Learning

2009-06-30T21:44:00.002+08:00

Today I am going to talk about this subject called learning. Everybody has their own learning style in picking up something new. If I picked up a new subject, I would usually try to form a impression of what is it about and try to understand it. Over the years, my way of learning has slighty differ due to changes in environment. This post is not about the way I study but about this learning ability style.

From my viewpoint, I think to be able to learn something you must have a good facilitator and coach with you. I believe that I am lucky enough to have such great mentors over the year who taught me new stuff. On hindsight, I will tend to compare them and my progression. It may be slightly unfair cos as one grows older, learning ability will also improve.

Actually, at poly level i found out some lecturer that really teaches very well. This year, my tutors are pretty good and most importantly patient. The reason I can't be teaching is mainly due to my low patience level. So don't get me wrong if I doun't teach you. I will feel fed up if I can't get across the msg to u. :)

Anyway, some of them are real good. They will explain throughly and indicate the important points to us. Also, before I wanted to raise my doubts about the notes, they will already clarify. This is what I admire of their teaching spirit. Also, when I consult them for project matters, they won't spoon feed me with answer. Instead they will sort of direct my thinking and stimulate me to think. This is one very important learning skill- to be able to learn on one's own. U don't expect them to tell you when the FRS and reporting standards change five years down the road.

Well, this post is basically to acknowledge them for their work in us. Now, think of them when you get back ur result. They are part of what you acheive today. Without them, I couldn't have get so far. Tks alot.

PS: this is not for teacher's day celebration. Just my random thoughts.

Random Thoughts

2009-06-26T21:47:00.002+08:00

Well, I have heard from other class that there will be no additional of mark if you place 30 November 2008 for the tax ans. No use regreting of what have been done. The remedy is to do well for the upcoming class test. Anyway, had AA project meeting. Was quite satisfied with overall performance. I think we should be able to complete in time. Clear up some of our doubts. Most importantly is to have confidence in oneself. That's what I think I am lacking cos I remembered pestering almost everybody about the journal entries when we were doing CAS Accpac. Haha those were the days men. This time round I am taking more responsibilities and doing ourselves.

Enough about studies matter. Life is not only about work and study. Really interested in how others goes about doing their daily stuffs. Haha some of them maybe confidential. Better don't probe too much. I discovered that some like playing mahjhong which I think is pretty harmless. While others like going in groups to certain areas( which I shall not disclose), they hang around as a group. I don't quite like that as it don't quite suit my personality.

What is life about? Is there a correct answer for that? I think everybody has their own sets of belief. From family, friends, love, work, leisure, i think there are too wide a range for me to define. Feel kinda of loss cos nobody tells me where to go for here. Haha maybe thinking too much liao. Listen to this music may clam my thoughts.

OK?

2009-06-25T16:51:00.002+08:00

Well, just the first week of school made me so tired. Everyday the speed is like a breeze and in a blink of eye the next day arrives. Wah the pace is so fast and I feel very tired. Plus lesson start at 9am or sometime we have project early in the morning. I still remember back in my secondary school days where I was looking forward to quickly graduate. But looking back I was enjoying myself even though the process seems so long. Half of this semester had already gone by. Have to adapt to this speed sooner than later. Kinda of tired. Feeling lazy.

Anyway got some of my midsem paper. Left with BTM. Everything seems fine to me except maybe taxation. Sort of underestimate it. If I will given the chance to retake the paper, I would definitely said that I can get the A. This is not because I am arrogrant but it's the truth that I miss out this impt pt during the test. Show off = Write more. And I was so obvilious to it. How do they give mark when you just have a few steps? Obviously show everything including workings and exemptions. Should have thought of it. Ok, from this I learnt impt stuffs. Write more won't kill u, right?

Aiyah enough complaining cos I sort of anticipate it. It's not like this type of thing happen to me first time. I have to learn to accept the past and look forward on how to prevent this from happening. AA project still progressing. Miss out some impt points. I am so mad at myself. Have high expectation in my group. No choice but to work harder. Won't want to drag down my group. Promise to myself that I must learn to control my gaming habit. It waste my time and made me unproductive. Enough slacking, and chiong for the last lap... Need motivation...

Why

2009-06-22T20:35:00.003+08:00

Why are that so much things to be done in so little times?

Why are things not turning out what I expect them to be?

Why am I doing this for?

Why do I feel so empty?

Why do I feel so tired and drain out?

A lot of why...

Dun noe why, feeling especially emo today. Maybe with the heavy load that I am carrying is too much. How did others do it? They much have felt all this at that time. Feeling exceptionally tired(in term of mind) and losing my sense of direction. I was thinking on the bus about these few years and months. A lot of things happened and change around us. Maybe holding on to the old dream made me tired. Seriously, since this semester has started, I haven't had the passion I had for studying. I was just studying for the sake of studying. Not enjoying at all. I still remembered that before I joined this course, I was so interested and gung ho wanting to learn more. Maybe the fact that I have learn the basic give me the impression that what I know is enough for now.

Want to regnite the passion of learning. Going lecture and sitting there with souls wandering. One problem that I have is thinking too much. Ought to have a break and run away from all these. But if no hard work where got result. It's because of what I do last time that get me to what I am now. Giving up is no way and continuing is like so toturous. Actually, I am sort of looking forward to next year NS. Maybe it could help change my way of thinking.

I admit that I am a stubborn person and don't listen to others unless they gain my respect. I am basically not socialable and like to keep to myself. Maybe this feeling will go as time goes by. But I am feeling lost now and don't what to do. Tmr is AA Presentation and I am not sure if I can perform up to my expectation. Hopefully, I can show the better side of me by tmr cos tdy is not a gd day for me...

Scary Incident

2009-06-13T22:30:00.002+08:00

As usual, last wk I took Bus 8 back home from TP. My hands were full of stuffs. One hand with a library book and the other hand with a water bottle. I board the bus like any other day. I tapped my ez-link before finding a seat. As my wallet contaned my secondary ez-link card, I usually take out my poly card to tap. That day I was too lazy to put it since when hands were full. I shoved the card to my pocket which wasn't very deep. Now, I remember why I did not wore that pant for such a long time. The pockets were so shallow.

Anyway, just as I was about to alight I discovered to my horror that the ez-card was not in my pocket. I fumbled and looked for it everywhere but to no avail. My first thought was oh my god how can this be possible. I am proud of myself that I do take care of all my stuffs. Somehow, I was very sloppy that day and this incident happened. Hence, I did not alight my destinated stop. I went to told the bus driver that I have lost my card mysteriously. Wah, I was controlling myself well or I haven't use vulgar word.

The bus driver was kind enough to point out to me that I may have dropped it outside the bus. However, this isn't possible since I have tapped my card. I was aware of this matter. When the bus reached tampines library, I still haven't found my card. I was panicking and almost giving up hope. There were some passengers looking at me funnily as I was walking up and down like a mad man except without screaming.

U know what? The most dire consequesence I thought of was the person using my card to borrow library books and not returning them. I was petrified at the thought and my thoughts ran amok. Imagine urself in such situation. I literally gave up when the bus reached the terminal stop at tampines interchange. The never say die spirit gave me last strength to conduct the search when all have alighted.

To my delight, I found my card below the seat in front of me. There were people sitting in front of me and I did not search properly. Imagine the instantenous joy which I have when I found. I thanked the bus driver profusely and tapped my card. The bus driver was understanding enough and not rude unlike others. Heng ah or else I sure kena. The last time this type of thing happened when I was a cashier. Somehow or the other I managed to misplace 50 dollar in the cash box. That I think was a real theft.

Luckily for me, this incident had a happy ending. I must be more careful of such things in the future. Maybe I have dozed off during the journey and let the card dropped without my knowledge. Anyway, I must thank god for helping me. Phee...

Busy 2 weeks

2009-06-07T14:27:00.002+08:00

After slacking for a day, I can't seem to get use of the feeling of relaxing and enjoying life. Maybe I am born to be a workaholic. My life is full of work, work and more works. Haha. After checking my email, I found out that we need to the Apel 3 value reflection and also the ettiquette powerpoint slide for submission. Adding to that, I have yet to submit my resume to Mrs Cheong. This work would occupy me for a few days.

The big assignments coming out this week is the CRA assignment 2. This time round I can't afford any mistakes. Must be done meticulously. And also the AA super tough project it will further drain my energy. This two weeks will be full of hard work and sweat. Still remember last sem holis which I cope with going on vacation, projects and work. Super fun and tiring. Everyday was so exciting and the pace was like wow...

This semester is already half way through and I can sense that the next half will have mroe to come. Already preparing myself for the final lap. Ya this reminder me of Napfa. I should be training for it next semester. Physical education is one of my weaker aspect. Have to build up my body and stay healthy. Gotta to do some stuffs first before everything go haywire. Time management the key to planning life...

2 wks holis

2009-06-06T16:07:00.002+08:00

Finally the week has came to an end. Can't imagine having tests for one more week. Back then in secondary school, I have 8 subjects or should I said 9 if combined humanities is counted seperately. That was the time when exam period last for 2 wks. A horrible feeling. Luckily, in poly the worse was taking 5 subjects back in sem 1.2. This semester got 4 subjects. I was thinking if I had made the wrong decision to take one more elective this semester. But again this would allow me to have more exposure to workings of bank. I must perserve for the sake of learning and not giving up cos it affect my grade.

Anyway, yesterday AA test caught me slightly offguard. I was mentally prepared to face a tough paper. I realised from this few days that year 3 subject are not so straightforward compared to the last two years. What do I mean? I am referring to those questions that will bug us and make us think twice. One has to think again before ypu again cos it's not in ur lecture book but you are supposed to have understood the logic behind the working mechanism. Unfortunately I was tricked again yesterday after reflecting the whole paper. A careless mistake i should said. But nvr mind this is just the beginning.

I got bad news for the readers out there. This semester is supposely to be harder than others. The AA project must be fully utilised to score. I must go and do some advance reading. This is the only way which I think can counter the project and tests. U see they deliberately set the project up to 40%. Such a high percentage. Obviously the teaching staff intention is to make us read the FRS and understand. They don't want us only to score A through the conventional test exam paper but through a wider scope. This may help us or hinder us in getting our desired result. For those lovers of project, they will enjoy it.

For me, I think the stress only just started since I feel double the stress when doing project than exam cos this implicate everyone in the group. Haha for now I need a break before starting on this project... Signing off...

One last Goal

2009-06-04T12:48:00.002+08:00

Just completed the BTM mid-sem 2hr ago. It was a mentally exhausting paper. The theory parts were more than what I have expect. And the calculation part was not easy at all. It requires me to build on what I know and I assume that I should use this figure. Why does tutorial look peanut compared to the test? Luckily, I focus and priortise on theory aspect too. Overall, I rate the paper as the most challenging I faced among this 3 days. But one thing for sure is that I am not cut out to be a inter-bank dealer. I will probably lose money rather than make profit. Haha.

Tmr will be the last hurdle. This is the subject which I will view it as most important. Being a anf student, I must know my accounting well. Sure it is easier to say than done. Later will be looking through and more practising. AA theory will also test my understanding. The lecturer seems able to ask questions that seem obvious but is complicated to answer. Haha. Hope the AA test would be easy. Give me the luck for tmr paper... It's the last one... I must do my best...

2nd one finished

2009-06-02T11:53:00.003+08:00

Yes finally tax is completed... Just completed my FOT just now. The environment was so pressursing and we have complete by one hr. Therefore a little bit rush for me. In the end still manage to complete. Heng ah... Or else this will affect my mood. Got some doubts abt one or two questions. Also, i wanna complain that how come they said that theory was 90% when it was 80%. And also no questions came out from IRAS Gallery. Is there a good thiing? I seiously doubt so when they replaced with the 10marks SI calculation. Gambling on whether to include it inside. Haha. I was thinking that since it is 10marks add in more thing as possible. They would not allocate mark if you never include but wouln't deduct if it's wrong. Haha. Why not add all into the SI?

Tmr will be one day break. That will be reversed for thursday BTM. BTM is abt caluclation and if u use the wrong figure everything will go bersek. Pls bless me with luck and let me read carefully before i approach each qn. Use the correct figure:) Shall relax for a while before looking through friday AA FRS and lecture no. Going to replenish my sleep now... Gotta go...

June 1St

2009-06-01T11:34:00.003+08:00

Whoo five month has gone by. Left 7 months. Just completed the CRA test and it was pretty ok except for minor mistakes. Most of the thing I learnt cam out for the test. Tmr will be FOT. This subject which look easy is actually tough. It links the concepts together making me confused and mixed up all the jia balang ITA. Going to mug hard for these papers no matter i like them or not.

Left with less than 24hr to prepare for FOT. Pls give me the strength and motivation to finish studying by at nite. Seriously hope to do well for all...

Mid-sem Test

2009-05-29T16:03:00.003+08:00

It has been a month plus since school has resumed. With the current swine flu news, this reminds me of the Sars period. As of today there is 4 cases in Singapore. Hopefully it will be contained to these few.

Next week will be 3.1 mid sem test. I am not sure how i will perform this time. This semester has prove that it will be a tougher one than the rest. If this already tough, how abt the upcoming sem 3.2? I dare not think about it. CRA excel assignment 1 wasn't done well. Some careless mistakes and some misunderstandings. I must not repeat this mistakes again next time.

I haven't really prepare myself well for these tests. Have to do some catching up and practising before the real one begin. Also, I realised that my feeling isn't right at the moment. Can't describe it. Maybe too long haven't been pressured by this exam stuff. Have to be in the right frame of mind for these tests.

Going to start revision now... Pls give me all the strengths and energy needed for this period... This song to motivate me...

My way

2009-05-25T19:41:00.002+08:00

Somethings never changed no matter how hard you tried to avoid it. Have kinda of tired after getting this type of result. I admit that I didn't do my best this round. Small failure doesn't mean the end of the world. Have been through a lot for this past few years especially in poly. Maybe the fact that I am almost there make me slack off at the end. This is not an excuse... I don't accept this type of answer.

My sign is capricorn which makes me a perfectionist... Haha not very true all the time. Only when i seek to get what i deserved will I be contented. One point isn't enough to blow me apart. Just like Newcastle who was relegated to the Championship next season. This may dampen the mood of their supporters but I think they aren't performing. I am a neutral fan of them but I feel this may be the turning point for them. Once u are down, will u perform. Is it true?

I remembered that I was just a below average student back in my primary school days. There was some dark marks on them too. One incident still haunt me till now. I doubt anybody knows that. I literally screwed up my Math CA paper because of a careless mistake. I was crying when I got back my result slip from the teacher. This was insulting to me. I felt very angry with myself. In the end, my Semester 1 grade for Math was a 99 marks high. I did myslef justice by taking by what I wanted. That year was one of my dark year where I did a few major mistakes. But this is all the past.

Because of the past, there will be a future. There are many other incident; coming back from behind. Sec 1 to Sec 4. Sem1.1 to Sem 2.2 We all need memories to grow up and be a better person. I believe this is a wake up call for me. Don't be arrogant and let ur head swell. Simply be urself!

Mid-Apr

2009-04-19T23:50:00.003+08:00

Have been busy this few weeks. Gone back to school for synergy leaders and also to other part of Sg. Well I haven't combed the entire Sg yet. But still I managed to go far away places such as Woodlands. Quite a nice area with Causeway Point. The concept seems to be like Malaysian Malls. Haha went there a couple week ago. The scenery of the northern part of Sg seems ulu to me. Quite meaningful.

Anyway, in a couple of hours i will be back to school. Been feeling out of place ever since last semester end. I enjoyed the pace of poly life. Though it may be long, the time spent together are short. Just contacted with some of them to find out more about them. And yup, I am posted to a new class T02. Some of the classmates are previously my year 1 classmates. It wouldn't be same as Year 2. I expect this year to be more demanding and challenging. One must meet new challenges to improve.

Tdy Straits Times headline mention that the no of applicant for business degrees have declined compare to previous year. Is this a good sign? I seriously don't know. I am sure the economy will pick up in these few years. Studying business will be goal for now. Who knows what the future lies ahead of me? The most impt thing is to enjoy life and make an impact when you are here.

Hope that I will have helpful tutors and understanding classmates! Going to catch some slp now...

GAYAs at Vivo

2009-04-07T11:51:00.014+08:00

Finally the GAYAs met up again. This was supposely to be the 5th outing. In total, I only go for 3. Not bad rite, i pass as a GAYAian. Haha. Yesterday, I went to meet them at Vivo City. Didn't join them in the noon cos I got some personal stuff to settle. Most of them look the same. Got a special person who came too. In total there were 6 of us mainly wee chang, fiona, li sin, chloe, vicky and me. Catch up with some of our daily lifes. Ok, I will let the pictures do the talking.

We had our dinner at Marche.

The chefs busy preparing our food

Yup i went to help out at the CC to register potential tax payer. Was there for two saturdays. Can't said that i did a lot except that i did learn more about tax. Other volunteers were more the SAA. I was the youngest among them. Quite cool ah. I realised that most of the taxpayers were taxi driver and i did the same procedure for all. They were quite understanding when we were stuck. Quite supportive of the system. Some would have prefered manual paper work. Nevertheless, this was fun and i learned along the way. One of them told me that the tax would change yearly for some part. Let's say the government wants to encourage people to give birth thus more relief. Seem quite intersting in the area of tax. Another thing which i found out was more about the community centre. I am the type who would visit it once a week. Go there to read newspaper.

The in charge was easy going and joking with us. Those who know me would know of my personality. I would keep quiet and not interact with others. He tried encourage me to speak up and bond us. He even bought food and drink for all of us after the whole thing ended. Quite generous rite. From these sessions, my brain has start functioning again and it's countdown to reopening of school again. Lesson will resume and i will be a senior in two wks time. LOL. Looking forward to meet my friends during next wk sl tea party. Didn't go for the sl camp this year.

Gotta end this post. Meeting GAYAs at vivo 7pm. I dun noe how long it would take me to reach there. Haha, end.

Restless

2009-03-23T22:38:00.002+08:00

Haven't update my blog for some time. Some recent activities which i have been involved are meaningful. Last sat, I went to SMU to be an usher. Helping out for SMU sife. Quite cool as i rejected a few before and it was my first time doing that. It wasn't that tough as we just have to guide the guests to their seats. We were given a opportunity to their forum and i guess i learn something new. They taught us how to deal with superior and financial crisis and most importantly ethical value. Too bad i didn't join tp sife. The event was quite enjoyable. I bought a G2000 blazer and blouse for this event. Not actually for. I treat it as an investment. It could be use in the future. Anyway i would wear it for special event. There should be a prestious one coming soon. Hehe, i am longing to take a photo with it and the cert.

Yesterday I met one of my friend mom who was on the way back home. Chat a bit with her since it was polite to do so. Also kpo a bit about her son who i have not keep in touch for quite some time. He is now waiting for enlistment and while i am still partying everyday. There seem to be a vast difference between us. What would be the road in front of us? No one knows. But one thing for sure i don't regret my choice. It's my passion and i like what i am doing right now. Counting down to sem3.1. Can't wait to meet those i haven't contact for quite some time. Feel guilty by rejecting some people when they call me out...

One Day

2009-03-12T07:22:00.002+08:00

Yup ytd was the day that we got back our result for sem 2.2. I felt pleased with my result except that much work much be done in next sem. Overall all was fine and some were unexpected at all. Pleasant surprise though. Also, I hate to admit but my mathematic seems to slack off. I just got an 'A' for that subject. Wth. I was at the top back in my secondary school years. Nvr mind lah I will work harder next time. Dun noe whether i should take up calculus elective. Sem 2.2 pace was just rite for me. Quite enjoyed it :)

I have been to some school such as JunYuan and St. Patrick to promote Temasek Polytechnic. Well, a few business ambassdor people went down to help out. Now I noe that Tp has various departments. There is a department specially targeting secondary student and promoting to them. Quite cool ah. They are also the one who designed the poster around TP. You can see those at anywhere when you take any bus.

The students were quite friendly too. They took some of the brochures and posed some questions. When I went to this school, the secondary school feeling suddenly all rush back to me. Yah, till now i kinda of miss sec school life. Who won't? Those were the day when we were so carefree. One more month to Year3 Senior Year. Must enjoy this holiday definitely. Next one will be having internship. Hope I get recruited into a good one...

Early March

2009-03-05T19:55:00.002+08:00

Haven't blog since last wk semster ended. These few days were more of relaxing my mind and doing my favourite stuffs. Basically went for two gathering already. One of them was 1a06 barbecue at Pasir Ris Park after the IF exam. Had a hard time starting up the fire. Maybe next year we should switch to having dinner at restaurant. :) Some interaction with them. The second gathering was on this tue 3/3/09. I went for the gathering since i haven't met some of my ex-classmate since like 2 years plus. I seriously miss my secondary school life. Veri shiok. The atmosphere is unlike of polytechnic.

Had fish and co at Parkway Parade. Our class invited Mrs Chong, our ex english teacher to join us there. She was very touched and bonded with us too. Catch up with some of them about their daily life. Yes tmr is the 'A' Level release of result. The jc ppl must be scared now. Haha. Doesn't quite concern me though. I have to say i admire their spirit.

Anyway, had dinner till 9pm+. Took a group photo as a class. Now waiting for them to tag me in facebook. Nowsaday technology enable ppl to meet in the virtual world. Some dun even bother meeting up. Hope that my class will keep organising this class gathering. I wil definitely appreciate and turn up. I am going to do some cleaning up. Till here.

Future Outlook

2009-02-27T16:46:00.002+08:00

Ytd was the last paper IF. Pretty challenging questions posed by the lecturer. Managed to do it exactly 2hr time. Some questions swept me off my feet and I crap out on my own. Not exactly crap but based on my understanding + other similarities which I spotted. And also the definition part of bit challenging. From past year paper, i concluded that this would come out. So no problem in this areas. Heng :)

Now's the first day of holis. Dun noe what to do leh. Finding job during recession are pretty hard. Maybe I would focus more on helping out in CCAs and the community. But no money leh. No choice if I really do want to go Uni. They look at seal point and ur cca record... No study freak allow except all rounder. Pretty demanding. Well I took the time to visit the uni website. Some degree caught my eyes. Maybe I should change my career path. Dun noe whether accounting is meant for me. Even though I managed to handle through the exams, I don't have the burning passion for it unlike my favourite subject, Mathematics. It makes me all fired up and think of different solutions. I should be a freak mentioning this to anybody. But that's me.

I like life because it's challenging. Without the challenge, one would not be motivated to press on and perserve. That's my nature ba. Sem 3.1 would be coming soon in 2 more months. Till then all my frenzs...

One Last Go

2009-02-24T13:54:00.002+08:00

Yea finished today CMA2 paper. One last paper on thursday International Finance. This was what I was thinking of when the examiner said Times up. Haha funni rite. I can't wait to see off the last one before i go slacking. Really tired now after the paper. Going to have a break later before catching up on my studies.

The MCQs were hard. Should be glad that i chose some correct answers and lost minimum marks. Section B theory wasn't much. Free style crap but with logic. Should be correct based on my understanding. I believe that my calculation was up to mark. So overall should be fine :) Must get A for this subject. Haha.

Now i am going to think of what to do this wkend. Haha. Till here.

One down, two to go

2009-02-21T15:00:00.002+08:00

Well, ytd was the foi paper. I guess i did pretty ok except that i screw up the hedge qn. Damn they changed the interest rate and i didn't take a proper look. Ya who would have thought... Nvr mind it's just 10 mark only. Haha. The rest of the qn was still ok and shouldn't be much problem. Lost 2 to 3 marks on mcqs. A little bit sad for myself. Have been reading this topic since monday. Luckily, that was the first paper. Manage to build up my confidence. Therefore, foi is ace-able. Yeah.

Left with Cma2 and IF. Haha i have sort of develop a phobia of doing Cma paper. Don't know why? Maybe because of the fact that it is an accounting subject and i have failed to perform. From FA to PCA and CAS, accounting was no stopping me except for CMA. I have developed a theory behind this problem and i guess it's because of the way i studied. Like how i misuse long hedge when it should be a short hedge. Focusing will be the key to unlock this A. Ya i hope i will maintain the result A and prove that I don't rely on project to pull my grade. Examination side is still fine with me.

And the last stop will be IF. A little like business finance. Glad that i have a passionate tutor guiding this subject. Made me devote my heart in doing his work. More mermorising work to be expected. Yeah that's abt it. A short conclusion and preview of next wk.

Also, haven't start searching for jobs. Holis is coming soon. Awating for next fridae arrival. Till then...

Exam Fever

2009-02-13T10:44:00.002+08:00

As the title implies, the upcoming exam will be a mentally exhausting one. Luckily, this semester will only require me to focus on three main papers mainly, Fundamentals of Investment(FOI), Cost and Management Accounting 2 (CMA2) and International Finance (IF). Did well for all the coursework which means that i have to work hard to maintain the grade in the final. Going start revision bit by bit starting from today. A little too anxious but time can't wait for us! The gap in between will be sufficient for a last minute person such as me. 26th Feb will then be my last paper which is IF. After that, class 1A06 having barbecue at Pasir Ris Park. LOL. Such tight schedule.

A simple review of the past few days- comm skills interview and business calculus cds. The interview was generally ok except for my inconsistent stammering and singlish words. No choice, what done can't be undone. Hopefully he will be leninent by understanding us. Hehe. Business calculus cds was just like my additional mathematics day. I have to think on my feet and be quick to understand. From my experience, I managed to solve the questions. Phee what a sigh a of relief. Not to mention some played cheat which I disapproved. Can't care these losers who are so despicable to get the grade and did such offences. Playing dirty is no-no.

I would also like to thank my group mates who have been understanding and supportive of me. This semester was somewhat similar to last one except that we were kept more busy. Below are some of my comments:

I must admit that my group survival have to depend on PC. Without him, our grp would have more difficulties. Of cos, being the leader isn't easy and he has demonstrated it again this semester. Hope that he won't have to do last minute work next time. An understanding person who won't critise others necessarily.

Another impt person is Dalina. She made our group more lievly. Initially, I didn;t know that she was a Cambodian. A friendly person who would go all the way to help others. I feel that she is more responsible as ever comapred to the first sem. A friend that is worth knowing. Fortunate to know such a food gourmet.

Magdalene in my opinion was a straight person who would speak her mind. With her around, she makes me feel more relaxed. Her clear cut idea would be useful to any group. I would surely said that she is an asset to any group. Haha if not for PC, I would think she would be another perfect leader for the group. One useful advice to her is to manage her time more approriately.

Last but not the least is Hui Shan. I must admit that i didn't like her intially. Too quiet at time makes me fearful for her. As the semester goes, I realised that she is alright. Just that her mouth would accidentally hurt others without knowing. Very loyal friend who would meet up with her gang. Admirable. Also an apology to her for rejecting her offer to join her group for BC. Maybe it's best for both of us since we get to work with new ppl. Taught her to be independent though.

Well above are all of my comments. Hope i haven't hurt anyone. Wish all of you all the best for the upcoming years ahead of us. Keep in touch.

Expectations Overwhlemed

2009-02-10T20:38:00.002+08:00

Well who in the world don't have expectations? All of us do have expectations be it small or large. I admit that i placed too much expectations on myself which sometime drives me mad. I feel that I live in order to fulfill all these before i go on in life. This few upcoming weeks will really test me(physically and mentally). Am I up to it? I don't know. I guess not many people know the real me inside more than I do. Sometime, my parent see a different me once a while.

I remembered that I was easily bullied by others during the younger years. My primary school days were difficult. Being in different class every year allows me to see the different nature of people. One funny thing was landing in good class in the afternoon shift(P1,3 and 5) and bad class during the morning (P2,4 and 6). I felt out of place back there. In the bad class, the boys were michevious and I mixed with them. No choice. My shy nature would not have understand the girls. Till now, I still don't quite understand some of them. Haha. Anyway this period of time was where I was lost which may be a good thing. I don't have an identity and perhaps none would have recognised me back then.

During my secondary years, I enjoyed the company of friends. I make some friends which I still are in contact till now. I must admit though that I do not have the initiative to invite others unless one to one. That period of time was the best and I found the inside me. For all those primary schoolmates impression, I was just a nerd who couldn't excel in my studies and sports. That's why in my secondary school years, I focus on my studies and push myself to join NPCC. I wanted to be admired by others and win them over. Haha. Sad to say I abandon one impt traits that one must have- feeling.

I realised that I am a little bit cold-blooded. What I mean was i don't become emotional as strongly as before. I learned to take the pressure and suppressed everything around me. During my polytechnic year, I may accidentally given some the cold shoulder. Perhaps I don't really know who to act in front of others ba. Some people simply have the sweet tongue which others like. I know one of them for sure. Example: He is one of my friends. I won't name him. I know him for one year plus and his behaviour is admirable. His social life and interaction skills are definitely better than mine. For ppl that we dun noe, he could even make frenz with them. This is what I found amazing. Perhap I have not learn the skills to be a perfect person. Communication skills seem to be lacking.

Well, I can't expect myself to be him. I am myself. I always said that I am who I am. Should I put expectations in everything I do? Maybe I tried things too hard. This should be leave to the work of nature.

PS: If u dun understand what I am writing don't bother. Tks.

The Year of Ox

2009-01-27T20:44:00.002+08:00

Tdy is the second day of CNY. I have plenty of time for these few days. However, tmr will be another schooling day for us. A short recap of what i did for these 4 days:

Day 1 (Saturday)
Went to Chinatown to enjoy the atmosphere. Did nothing much except window shopping. The items there are abt the same for every year. My family make it a habit to go there before CNY. Luckily, the weather was fine but quite warm esp when the street were packed with people. I bought Rainie Yang album from there too. First time i bought a female artist album. I prefer those who are talented composer such as Jay Chou. The reason i bought it was, i quite liked the singer itself. Furthermore, i know the cd shop sells much cheaper than outside. Yeah, so tat's abt it for that day.

Day 2 (Sunday)
Not much acitivites for tat day except for the reunion dinner at nite. We went to have our dinner at Sakura Safra Tampines. it's the second year we have our reunion dinner there. When my family reached there, there was a lot of people queueing up for the food. Quite scary. I reason it out because of the recent bad economy, many are downgrading from restaurant to a cheaper alternative. Also, i met Jeremy that day at the carpark. Didn't get a chance to speak with him though. Surely there will be opportunities when we meet at school.

Day 3 (Monday)
Went to the temple to pray my grandparents. After that, travel to another temple to pray for good fortunes for all year round. Took abt half a day to travel half of Singapore. Evening time, went to my aunt house where our family gather. We talk to each other and try to catch up each other life. Some dun even noe i went poly. LOL. It's like two year that i have been studying there liao.

Looking Forward

2009-01-23T21:24:00.002+08:00

Well had IF test tdy. Weightage = 15%. Before the test, I was still lamenting why they schedule us to have test before CNY. Festival mood affected a bit. But after the test, I was thinking of the examiner being merciful. He didn't try to kill us with theory qns which i tot he will. At least he considered abt our feeling after all. Anyway, test is over for Jan. Yeah.

又错过了一个好机会, 难道是我不懂的把握它? 我深信总有一天她会发现的...

One YEar Older

2009-01-18T15:06:00.002+08:00

Yeah today 18 Jan is my birthdae. I am 19 years old this year. In chinese, we add one more age to our real age. This is the belief that a baby is one year old when he/she is born. Cool rite? But the coolest should be me. I was born be4 chinese new year. Thus I should not be considered to be born in the year of horse,1990 but the previous one which is snake. So my chinese age become 21. LOL. I am an adult now. So I can watch any type of movie n go wild... as if i will do that.

Seriously speaking this one year had been a fairly good one for me. My personal and family life are quite Ok. Except that of my father health. Last year hadn't been a good one for him. Hope that a new year would bring him better health and better career path. Anyway, I am quite satisfied with my life except of cos of the stress and competition. These come from vary forms, in school, outside, etc. I still remember last year having sch on my birthday. It was on fridae and my class have to attend a talk. It was until so late and i even skipped the refreshements when the whole things were over. I could also recall watching Jay Chou live in Singapore at his concert the next day. How come this year so busi? Sianz. Tdy suppose to relax and can catch Jay chou MV at Dragonfly Power Station. Aiyah, the work so many no time to go there. Wasted opportunities.

This period before CNY will be busy for us. I have to submit and present the case this wk. Can break down from e amount of work. Luckily, I have met this type of situation before. One must learn to keep his cool. Must appear relaxed in front of others. Haha. Actually quite ok to have work in order for me not to slack. I realise that when holis come, i felt quite bored. Work help to keep me occupied just as i am blogging now.

This year resolution will be as the same as last year. I hope that i can reach my target. One year older must be more sensible and more adultlike liao. Hopefully this would come when the time comes. I would write till here and start doing my assignments. No break even for the b'day boy.

Mid - Jan

2009-01-13T08:43:00.002+08:00

More than ten days have passed since the beginning of 2009! I am beginning to feel the stress level increasing at a fast rate. Since the submission of FOI Project, i thought that the nightmare was over. But it seems that it just only beginning. This wk is the submission wk for 2 assignments. Nxt wk got IF Test, two assignment and two presentations. Wah all this before CNY. Is this how we end our 2008 rat year officially? Furthermore, this wkend suppose for me to enjoy myself.

Yes, i will be turning 19 Years old soon. Reaching 20 in another tewlve months time. Scary issn't it? Time seems to have fly ever since i graduated from sec sch. Ytd was my bro 'o' level release of exam result. Well, he did as well as i did. Have the same score except that he has one more A than me. But his 6As are incomparable to mine. Haha. I am quite proud of him as he nvr throws away my face. Hehe.

Gotta start chiong and relax when CNY is over. Seriously the atmosphere is not rite. But one must think ahead and prepare for the future. Okay till here... going to my lesson soon.

LOng Wk ahead

2009-01-05T21:22:00.003+08:00

Last Saturdae was promotion day. I was so 'priveleged' to be sent to clementi area to distribute flyers to our target. We first report at bugis to register and collect our promotion items. So my grp travel that to distribute the flyers. However, all our target didn't seem interested and little took them. Instead others took them helpfully. Thanks to these people, i have a early dismissal and could slack around at bugis. The grp comprising of 4 of us. Three were from captain planet and i was the only one from spiderman. Nvr mind, interact with them. All i-guides were friendly. Haha, praising all of us. Anyway CNY is near and i am looking to buy new clothings. This year got a little budget compare to last year. We must keep improving ma.

Sundae was spent at Tampines. Attended one of dad colleague malay wedding. It was held at the void deck. But the design and atmosphere was there. The food though not first class was very nice. Though i did not like spicy and curry food, i still have a good time eating them.After that, we went to Tampines InterChange. I start to search for shopping Lobang- meaning discount. Luck was on my side. I saw freshbox sales but the item was not to my liking. There was also I.P. having sales. I bought one jeans at 1/2 price and save me quite a bit of money. Some of the items are really inflated. I realised that girls could find their clothing more easier and at lower price than males. Why? Maybe because girls spend more and thus they are the main target. This is only my opinion. So I didn't waste my time slacking around. At least i bought something for myself. Left 2 more items and my shoe. Haha.

Todae lec for Cma2 was short. Even though it was short, i still make an effort to attend. Last minute printing cos they upload last minute. Not my fault. Still the lec was noisy cannot tahan. First time i paid attention. Maybe because of the fact that cma2 mid-sem result not out. I am sinned. I knew that owing to lack of understanding was partially reason for the downfall. So must buckup. After that went for the chat room briefing. Mr Koh talked a bit and taught us how to answer. If dun noe how to ans, just refer them to tutors, i think. Anf forum next. Was a bit late for it because both clashed at the same time. Have a good laugh at some of the things mentioned. Dun want to disclose much abt it. Hope it takes effect soon.

Oh, i still have online posting n quiz this wk. So busy. Still got i-guide. Wah like nvr ending...

Belated New Year

2009-01-02T21:15:00.002+08:00

Well, today was basically returning back to school to submit our foi project. Didn't feel anything differenent except that there was work being done around the campus. It's for the prepration for open house next week. Time seems to fly past so fast and i have been in poly for two years already. Wow, come to think of it. Anyway, meet up my gang to last minute print and bind. Some other grp will still chionging and editing. Have to say that they are too pro men. So rush. Handed our project at 12 noon sharp. Only realise that the deadline time was 1pm. Haiz.... Nvm. Punctual ma.

After that, did my comm skills online posting. For once, i seem not to hate comm skills so much because of the teacher. Mr Shen our tutor was a great motivator. Should not say much about him except that he's good from my personal view. Hehe.

Aiyah i think i should start doing my tutorial now to prepare myself next week. Nxt wk will be a busy wk for me. Anf forum + I guide. Perhap next week i also going out to shop for CNY clothings. Kk , till here... until then

A new year, a new beginning

2008-12-31T19:53:00.002+08:00

Coming to the end of 2008 in a few hours time... welcoming the arrival of 2009. Recalling this year highs and lows:

-Taking out my teeth braces=) Finally after 4 years ++. However, still have to wear the retainers. Will be out soon too. Yea.

-Still perfroming hard and striving for academic achivement. Will n must work harder. Cannot disappoint my family and myself.

-Partciapted in some camps. Made new friends which are really close. Have some outings with them. I usually dun go out as a group. So is an achivement. Haha.

-Joined a wonderful group in my class. Better than year 1. Though both are my gang, i still prefer year 2 better. No insult. Maybe the environment is slightly better. But subject more tougher. LOL.

-Bought two albums this year- Jay Chou capricorn and Wilbert Pan best collection. Sad to sae i dun buy frequently. The rest of my song come from...

-Went oversea myself with anf cohort. Really enjoyed the experience as i learned more from ways of life. Become more independent, i think

-Got to know my colleague and my boss better. They treat me well and give me a good job. Enjoy working with them.

- More last minute work from me. Becoming more lazy and resort to last minute. Giving excuses. Perhap a little bit selfish too.

- Changes in the way of thinking??? A little bit ba.

Perhaps there are more to talk about. But i can only say that 2008 is truly a year which i enjoyed. Remmeber the happy days and forget those painful ones. Enjoy life to the fullest and make use of every day. I believe that 2009 would be more impt than 2008 becos next year a lot of things will happen simultaneously. Exciting? Looking forward to them.

Simply too much

2008-12-14T21:46:00.002+08:00

Well, the start of mid term holiday allowing me to breathe once again. Compare to last sem, my grp comprising of the same ppl seem more slack. Maybe we are over confident of ourelves? This holiday seems more 'tight' to me. Maybe because of my schedule. I will be going genting with my parents soon later this wkend. And project only commences this thursdae after pok return back from malaysia. Maybe we are too dependent on him. I plan to start doing some on my own. Hopefully, the girls will take initiative to start the theory before we meet on thurs. Some reflections for mid-sem:

FOI
This was the last paper which i sat for. I should said calculations was manageable except that theory component was a bit tough. And there was simply too much qns on theory. That's my opinion. Should have more calculation. Also, studying foi was the toughest among the three subjects. Maybe because it was too dry adding to the fact that it was the last paper. Decision: To focus more on the project component and do well for it.

International Finance
This was the most satisfying paper which i did. At least i was not disappointed by the qns. Theory based. Though it was not my strength, i felt that i did my best for it. I studied hard and i think all should be well.

Cost and Management Accounting 2
From year 1 till now, my accounting was one of my favourite up till now. I dun noe why but i dislike cost accounting. Simply not because of the tutor but of the theory. Twice i was fooled by the theory section and costing my calcualtion components. Will that be a third time? Nope i will not allow it to spoil my transcipt. This subject is challenging because of the qns he posed to us. I believe that i can do it for finals. Mid-sem though over is far from over. I can rescue it with my project. Sorry to those in my class, i will have to slaughter them with my tough qns which i will pose to them.

Business Calculus cds and comm skills 2are still ok. Hope cs2 i can get a A grade. A little bit too ambitious. I will perform this sem, i believe and so should everybody else. Nvr look back when u are alreade so far, instead look ahead. Also, i found out wat the difference between A and Z. Apparently, Z is useful because of the distinction. If two persons with the same grade, they will then have to take into account of the Zs. So keep it up!

Tiring day

2008-11-30T22:18:00.003+08:00

28 Nov

Suppose to be a holiday for me. In the end didn't do much that day as i went out with wei han to escape theme park at downtown. He got a complimentary ticket for 2. So we were to meet at 10 am but i was later by 5 mins. No choice. The day before i chiong to do my comm skills postings. Apparently the tutor forget (or dun noe how to add thread) leaving it us to do. Worse of all was most of us didn't know of it. I rang my tutor up and asked whether any postings were required? His ans was yes!!! So i went home and chiong posting. Cannot take whole chunk from the net. Have to think and add it own idea. Friday morn i woke up early and piang finish. If i didn't do, marks will be deducted. Too much sidetrack.

So we went to escape theme park early in the morning expecting not a lot of ppl. Found a lot of ppl there compared to last time. Maybe because of the sch holis bah. Been there with him 4 times already! Incredible. Seem like my favourite outing. Bonding session. Talk crap about classes, people and other things, blah.... Had Mac at 11+. Our favouite was the kart racing. Some of the karts were so slow. Quite enjoying driving recklessly breaking the law. One of the scariest was the slide from 15 metres. However, this time was not as scary as last time. Maybe the game is slacked liao. Obvoiusly some people complained. Luckily we lived at the eastern side where we have such a amusement park. There was one at kallang last time. Unfortunately toen down already. My parent generation and good pa-tor location. Haha.

29 Nov
Meet up with GAYAs. Initially didn't want to turn up. Cos the assignment piling up, tutorial not yet done and yesterdae outing with cal was tiring. The outing was cancelled and only dinner. So went to join them. Discovered that they had a habit of being late. I PURPOSELY went late there so not to waste my time. When i reached there, i was still early. What the? Six ppl turn up including me. Wee Chang, Joyce, Li Sin, Fiona and Chloe. Went to have tian tian huo guo at bugis street. Tv advertisement everytime introduce. We had steamboat style. Cheaper and better cos not everybody can tahan the spicyness. Two steam boat shared among six.

The funniest part was when li sin and fiona went off suddenly as if they were angry with us. Actually, wee chang and them, including me had belated birthdae plans for the 2 gals. Surprise for them. They took that chance to buy cakes for them. Chloe and Joyce were like very surprised to see them go off without warning. They tot that both of them were angry. Apparently two of them had conversation within theirselves. Four of us left out. Chloe told them to interact but they took this chance to be angry. Haha. The food that was so-so compared to zhen fa. I like the zhen fa at marina bay. The food there not bad.

So we took the birthdae gals to esplande planning surprise. Of cos, we had plans one. So we celebrated there and took some photos. Waiting for their photos now. The atmosphere that was quite right. Also a good place for dating. Saw a lot of couple there. Live band performing. Highly recommend place during sat nite. Free some more. Fresh air.

Ok. Till here. Must go and do some personal things liao. Projects on for tmr.

I found a old song recommend by a website. Quite nice song being played now. Relaxing. No pressure, haha.

走了又是几条路

心里的话不敢说出来

＃Ye I wanna cry I wanna cry 　
直到你明白　我的全世界停在tonight 　
I wanna try I wanna try 　
有没有未来　
不准谁遗忘变坏tonight＃
牵我的手　La la la la REPEAT＊＃

Decision Making

2008-11-20T21:56:00.002+08:00

Tdy i meet a situation which i have nvr encountered before. Dun noe if i am rite to do that? Will all be alright? I hope so... No explanation needed watsoever as long as i follow with my thinking and of course, my heart to keep on moving.... Dun want to talk much abt it. Part of stages of life. Growing up tat's all.

Tdy went for biz calculus lecture at 10am as usual. Reach sch later than usual and headed to the library to photostat for nxt wk cma2 tutorial. Haha i am the gan-chiong type, everything must clear as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong, my intention is to slack longer. ^^A good news for T06 and the rest of the classes is from this wk onwards no more 2 hr comm skills class. That means we just need to attend the 3 hr one. However for my class, it is the opposite. Quite cool men. I mean can slack as my timetable is more fitting now.

International finace was ok. Could understand what he was talking and emphaising about. That's a good thing. Have to read up on CMA2 and FOI. Conentrate!!! After the lec, went for BA event which was helping out TPrawk. We were to be station master instructing them to play game. The waiting was a little bit draggy. I was in charge of charate (ps: dun noe how to spell). Guessing game basically. Quite funny to see them pose and tikam the words. This teach us the importance of communication. Hehe. That's abt the day.

15th November 08

Went back to my secondary school to attend my brother graduation ceremony. Haven't been back there for ages. Some of the teachers had already retired. My school had a lot of older generation of teacher. Quite good to have these experienced tutors to teach us. Now, i see some new faces probably graduates taking up this post. Sadly, my form teacher have already transefered to another sch. Quite enjoy the ambience of the ceremony. Remind me of that time when i was garduating. Quite thrilling.

After that, went to tp library to commence on our CMA2 assignment. Challenging qns. If i were to concentrate, i would able to do it on my own. Not boasting here. Just there one and a half year later have to be independent liao. Must take everything on ur own. Anyway, quite fruitful as we trash the various issue out. Should be able to solve this qn.

16th November 08

Was at home the whole day. I intend to study for my upcoming comm skills2 test. In the end, this didn't happen. I vomitted and had diahorrea in the early morning of 16 Nov. Wah damn horrible. Woke up at least 5 times during the nites. Obviously lack of slp. After having some traditional medicine and soya bean, my stomachache was not so bad as before. I suspect this was due to not eating lunch the day before. I skipped my meal and caused this problem. Adding to the problem was eating mee at nite with a empty stomach. Aiyah, this painful experience made me realise that no matter what i must have proper meal. Recovering well now.

Hopefully, i can do well for my test tmr. Praying hard... My Command of english language is not that strong( or simply say weak)... Pls let me score well^^

Lecture + one incident

2008-11-12T21:16:00.003+08:00

Todae had my IF lecture and comm skills tutorial. Kinda of bored. The lecturer was not bad and i could understand the things he went through. Not like other lectures which i sit in and really dun noe what he teaching. One more month to mid-sem test. That's how fast the semester is flying and i have to keep up my pace. Finally completed my tutorial on my own. I realised that thrugh copying of ppl model ans dun benefit me at all cos i do not use my brain power. Opps.. sorri to those who practice that. Have not intention to insult them.

Based on my analysis, i nid to work hard on FOI and CMA2. FOI requie a lot of contextual knowledge. A lot of new terminologies and newspaper articles to read. Have to pull my socks. CMA2 is abt the way u ans. Something like Math i guess. They can vary by altering the qns. And this time round still got heavy theories.

Feeling more motivated now. Must go chiong next wk tutorial if i dun want to be left behind. Next wk still got project and online posting. This seems endless. Sianz. This is my life.

Yesterday, walked to tm cos the bus stop was packed. My lesson end at 6pm lor. On the way, i saw these two gals sitting at the bench. One of them was wearing the CSC green volunteer T-shirt. They started waving to me, i thought. I waved back cos dun want to be rude even though i dun recognise them. Maybe they saw me in the csc camp i tot to myself. And they started to indicated me to walk to them. At that time, i was already suspicious. Really dumb of me not to check behind me. When i walked up to them, they said not me. WAH.....I was real pai seh sia. But i acted like i didn't care and walked off. First time such a thing hapen to me. LOL. What would u have done if u were me?

PS: Gtg. Tmr business calculus 15% individual assignment have to start practising. Till here.

Zoom.....

7 Nov- Went to a lot of places today alone. From my hse walked to tampines mall. Quite a distance. About 20 mins walk. Follow the underground track from Simei to Tampines. Slack around at tampines mall Popular. Couldn't find my cheap clear holder file. So in the end have my lunch at coffee tiam. The rice with fried pork was very tasty. Highly recommended. Since that day the weather was fine, i walked to tp from tampines central. Can save my bus fare as i was not using concession. Help to save money a bit. One bus trip was very expensive compared to last time. Why is this so? Scarce resources lor. Inflation blah blah. Didn't want to meet anybody familiar there. But still saw some familiar faces there. Haha they were very enthusiastic about their project. These sem my grp a little bit slow. Maybe of the heavy workload. Printed and photstated some notes for this wk lec and tutorial.

From tp, i took bus 23 to Sim Lims Square. The bus ride was cooling very the air con blowing to my face. With the hot weather outside, i was doozing off. Lol. Window shop a bit at bugis street. Didn't stay there long since not buying anything. Also the price a bit high and i have tight budget. Have to consider to buy a shirt for CNY 09 though. Again, i walk to popular central which was three storeys high. Glance thrugh the writing material. Suntec City was near that place too. So also went there to 'loiter'. Main purpose that day was to survey some products which i am going to buy. Don't want to be con into buying things that are too ex. Overall, saw something catching to my eye. Going to buy that soon. Limited money but consider carefully. Hehe.

8 Nov
I woke up early that day for csc event which was organised by NEA. Have my breakfast before zooming there. I realise that our poly student have a habit of reaching late regardless the importance of events. Previously i would report early for these events. However, being cheated by them for a few time for waiting for these late comers, i refused to reach there early. Anyway only 3 Gayas including Wee Chang, Kelvin and Me participate for these events. Those Gaya ps us. I was in charge of the redemption counter. Quite slack. With too much manpower, some of us will not bored to tears. So we have early lunch at century square. Food coupon given to us were also fully utilised. We still asked those orgainser to give us some more. The food there was not bad but with limited options. Went home after that to chiong my tutorial which unfortuneately till now not yet completed. Ahhhh......

9 Nov
Spend the whole day completing my assignments with 'short' interval break. LOL.

10 Nov
4th week of sch liao! That's how fast life in Poly past back. My frenz told me that this morning. Upcoming thursday basic calclus indivdual assignment and next wed comm skill assignment. With all project conducting at the same time, time is really not on my side. My time management is really poor. Somebody pls discipline me. I have to control my urge of surfing net, watching tv, and sacrificing slp.... Looking forward to fridae once again to escape from this anguish.

Stress Up

2008-11-06T20:59:00.003+08:00

U noe what? As of this wk friday is a free day for me. Tat's mean i wouldn't need to go to school on fridae. However to my dismay, i realised that the pressure is really on. Firstly, this sem tutorial seem harder than of previous sem. Still coping well i guess. Some of my classmates have resort to 'borrowing' from other class friends for their model ans. This sem tutors will motivate me to work even harder. I guess u noe what i mean. Haha. Secondly, I have to push my groups to chiong and start the projects. CMA2 assignment+ FOI + Comm Skills. All these will sweep me breathless. We using our secret weapon. Hehe. Must keep up our high standards. Thirdly, i have too many upcoming event be it personal or CCA. Just came back from camp last wk, this wk tutorial was like half done. A lot of catching up to do. Furthermore, this saturday i going to help out for an event organised by NEA. Being active for all this mean sacrificing my time. Also, i need to relax and shop for a bag and a pair of durable shoe. CNY are round the corner and i wouldn't want to be left out. Must really piang and manage my time well.

One confession to make: I must cut down my unproductivite time using my com. Dun noe why like to surf the net and kapoh abt others. Sorry dudes, have to concentrate on more impt stuff. Starting to miss my holis... till next March... ahhh help me...
