Consumer Behavior Exam TMR!!

Been memorizin like mad for the past few days, which probably explains why this blog will sound abit discontinuous and lacks linkage. I choose about 9 topics to focus on. and guess what? There were tonnes to memorize. even though its just 9 out of 12 topics. This subject is such a bullshit topic man. The exam tmr. . .is solely gon be based on how much a person can memorize. It's as if im going for a test to compare and see who emerge to have the largest brain storage capacity. Right now, at this moment, i've gone thru every bit of info in my notes (own notes) at least twice. and im still not able to remember every single bit of information. it sucks. I hate to memorize. then people (especially profs and tutors) will start naggin,'oh. . . you guys shudnt memorize, u guys shud really understand the concept and then u'll be able to apply it into practice' oh pls. . . if we really wanna do that, we can do that anytime! This is a 3-hr exam which requires information dumping that ur speed of writing wouldnt even be able accomodate! All u have to do is to memorize all information, go for the exam, and start writin and dumping all info u can remember. IF you were to listen to the prof or tutor's advice, good luck. During the exam, u will try and tink abt the concept (cos u did not memorize) and start writing down, and then u have to tink of an application in real life practice for it. By the time u finished that one question, I (who have memorize) am already halfway through the 2nd question. So understanding wont work. Understanding and memorizing (especially memorizin) will help u get thru ur exams. At least its a guaranteed get thru. Im pretty sure of myself if i dun memorize, i wont be able to get thru this exam. -sigh- complain too much.. i shall just shut up and just do it.

Havent been able to talk to u much today cos i have an exam tmr, and u. . . having so many meetings throughout the day??? geez . . i hope u drink enough water and rest enough. I dun want u to fall sick when exams come.

Thats all for now, wish me luck for tmr's exam. I hope i can get thru it smoothly man. I dun wanna get stuck during the exams. (sian. . .)

booooooooo! ahhhhhhhhh!

need to make my presence known. hahahhah... kidding la. but i havent posted for quite sometime... n ive got proof. i was stoning at the blogger login page, wondering what my login id is. geeeez! bad memory or what??? n i din clear any cache or saved form info.. so firefox is supposed to save my id for me! bahhhhhz.

i am coping better with my time i guess... heh. what to do?? i got 5 projects! n i cant seem to stay up beyond 12 n still have my mind function. properly.

so, he's all fine n well n safe! goody! had to admit for a moment there i tot it was glandular too. now, we learn not to jump to conclusions anymore right? worry warts we are. been grumpy lately. v grumpy. so had tiffs with u here n there... both of us r not in the best of moods eh. must be STRESS' fault.

aiyah damn the exams n skool, i wanna dota! with sharon leonard n gang. i nv tried b4 in case ure wondering... only sat for one session watching sharon kill.. but basically get killed most of the time. =p

watched a movie called hana and alice on friday, free movie screening by the japanese cultural club in my skool.. its a rather slow moving artsy type of movie.. n yy was complaining dat its not her type. rach.. din say anything. we saw rach on our way to SIS (skool of info system) building where it was screened, while walking out of the lib, n she decided not to study(her original plan) n join us for the movie. haha. hahaha. i totally understand. nobody feels like doing work. which is bad! everyone was jus stoned la... couldnt cont doing much work.
but it din help that the movie was slow. n we had rather bad seats, in front. as for the movie.. there r things which one will uncover as the movie progresses.. tho i dun claim to understand why it happens that way. BUT. having said so much, i still liked the movie. its my type. =)
except for the parts which din have a proper conclusion. like what happened to the guy?? who did he chose? haiyah hate to have an ending that's dangling in the air for movies...

oh wells. gotta go back to my report. meeting in skool tmr for a..... meeting? lol. what am i sayin.. gambatte, ne! to u, us!

here's the movie link. i cant hyperlink any particular word above cos it'll jus become so small.

Buyer Behavior in 3 days

Keeping this short cos i still have to memorize my buyer behavior stuffs. And yeah, i finally recovered from my fever. I got the blood test results back from the doctor. and it was negative. it wasn't glandular. Now it gets me wondering. If it wasnt glandular, wat was wrong with me? the symptons describe exactly how i was feeling.. When i went to the health service centre, the doctor just told me it was negative, took a look at my throat feel the part which was under my neck to see if it was swollen, and he charged me the 3rd consultation fees. Sucks man, this is why people wanna be doctors ehy? Just looking at 1 patient and he earns AUD$26.20... wat the hell man. . . Cos now u can find almost anything from the Internet, and i seriously mean almost anything. I could even know wat wrong with me, and wat i have to do in order to make myself better from any illness. who needs doctors? But it this was true, then this world will be so perfect. The only thing making money will be the Internet. So it's not gon happen.

Im not sure whether its the studying or the fever that made me abit twisted. Ive been having this thought of gettin a skateboard. I figure its one of the sports i could do by myself without having to rent a court or have someone to play with. And it doesnt cost much and it's cool. As i have mentioned earlier in this blog, i havent been able to exercise because of so many reasons. and jogging is really just too boring. I guess alot of joggers would agree with me. let's just hope i'll get a job in singapore or an internship or whatever that can help me make money.. and i'll possibly buy one. My brother and my baby has got blades. so why not? Someday, the family shoud have a boarder, why not me? heh.. But actually, i do wanna get alot of things and wanna do alot of things. But 1st priority is still a backpack. I seriously need one. One solid and firm one, which is gon last me. I dun wanna get those lousy stupid brand which doesnt last me. My bloodBros sling's been doing fine. I still like it alot. But i really want a backpack. it's more convenient and it wont swing ard.. i know. . excuses when u wanna have something. Me and my buddy, ronny, is planning to set up this entertainment blog(which is why im not gon post up anymore videos and games). . which is going to develop into something for us to sell some cool stuffs off it once we've got visitors. i hope this is all gonna work out well cos i really wanna do this. Cos it's almost like zero capital start-up. He keeps on arguing with me that the market is too saturated. Man..i can tell u almost 9 out of 10 people dunno that such websites exists. The more the merrier. We're catering to our group of friends, which is already quite a substantial number. And it has a different purpose besides just entertaining others. So im pretty sure it would work. But this project's gon start off abit later. -sigh- i gotta get back to work now. Too much to do, too much to memorize. Baby, u better work hard.. it's gon be ur turn very soon.

Glandular Fever

Click here to read up more about it. Before you jump to any conclusions, im still waiting for my blood test results to be out tmr. It will show whether i am havin this form of fever or not. However so, im preparing for the worst case scenario, that is, i have the glandular fever, one which has no cure except the cure is 'complete rest'. And the medicine used to suppress the symptons of fever, headaches, body aches, etc is to eat paracetamol and painkillers, which i have already finished all 24 of them.

Been feelin v bad since i fell ill, especially its the most crucial period of this semester, exam period. I still have to force myself to study, while dealing with painful headaches and shit like that. It's hard to study when u have fever and headaches. It's even harder when u have to memorize materials, whereby memorizing is a painful and repetitive process that has to be done in ur head (sometimes having to read it out).

Had my financial management paper today, I tink i did ok. I was bored 3/4 way through the paper. Not because i was overconfident or whatsoever, but because the questions are quite similar to the past yr papers, and i actually went thru my past yr papers at least 3 times. I was spaced out and was looking ard without knowing what's going. plus the fact that im sick makes me even more stoned. I left 20 mins earlier because of 2 reasons. 1st, i really did all i could do. i triple-checked all calculations and tried my best to recall those parts which ive forgotten (yes, i forgot some stuffs which ive memorised and that sucks). 2nd, i was hungry. Heh..as usual, but i was happy i felt hungry cos for the past few days when i was sick, i have no appetite at all, i just ate cos i had to in order to take my medicine. So its been a couple of days since i 'feel hungry' and wanna go eat.

--and thanks baby for checkin up on me every now and then to see if im ok. dun worry too much. uve got ur own stuffs to worry abt.

life's not good.

firstly, and probably only, because my darling's not well. y y y?? its his exams soon..to be precise, its tmr. i hope he can cope with it.. n that his fever n headache will not act up during the exam.. baby, bear with it alright? at least u got time to rest after ur finance exam tmr..

do take good care of urself in future alright? i can't be there to take care of u when u r sick... =(
i would love to. i want to. sigh.

lets cross our fingers (n toes) that its not the big G that we both dread so much. im v worried abt u.

--------------------------------------------------

sigh. my tuition just made life worst. =( why do parents nowadays like to put all the blame on everyone and everything except their own children? when i had tutors.. yeah i had gd n bad ones which my mum sacked at her own liking.... but most of the times she scolded ME for being lazy, n not reprimand n demand so much from the tutor. whats more, u hire me two weeks before his exams n expect me to do wonders.

i hate to feel so full of unjust, n to complain so much. cos there's this big fear that it really, actually, is me who is really at fault and is lousy n irresponsible. but i know i have tried. sigh...

nothing matters now. except my baby recovering n aceing his exams. n my projs n own shit.

slp, here i come

yay! its finally thursday. end of the week for me, friday is a free day! im so tired.. i need to catch up on my slp..

just did a countdown on my organiser, n i realise to my great horror that i have abt a month n a week left till my exams starts. basket.

den again i may not get to slp as much as i tot i could/would. ig ot a few report parts to complete over the weekend, tuition to give on sat n sunday!, n jus more n more uncompleted stuffs. bahh. right now i jus hope i can get my loan approved so i can have my own laptop to work on..

4 Days Left

My first paper, Financial Management on the 25th Oct 2005. My most feared paper as well. Been desperately tryin to study as much as I can in order to prepare for my exams. Damn scared. I dun wanna fail any subjects at all. I know u may be thinking...'aiyah, u always say u will fail, but in the end, u'll still pass.' well, i wished that will be the case all the time. Whatever it is, im going go full swing for this subject and do my best for it.

Havent been updating these days cos I was so busy. Have been preparing for my buyer behavior presentation, doing my bz data assignmt, and as usual, studying for my financial mgmt. Finally got a breather after finishing today's presentation. It was bugging me the whole time. As i was presenting to a class full of Australians, there seem disinterested and can't be bothered to listen to you. I keep telling myself that its not the fact that im asian but...regardless of that, i still feel so. But anyway, ive got over the whole thing.

fastforwardeverythingpls

sigh its the time of the month again. i hate the cramps. and also hate feeling tired even though im positive i had enough sleep. drats...

my skool has this club called peer helpers or something along the lines. the name is quite self explanatory, they help their peers in smooo. namely, us. the students. so besides giving away free bananas and apples, they have also a special offer... that is to sell movie tix at 5 bucks only! yay im starting to like them! lol. but i guess its only a one time offer. anyway its a movie called Goal. some football show... i wanted to watch it initially, but this 5 bucks offer made me go straight to their 'office' without hesitation n buy the tix. with dear yy. since yy knows pt, we asked her along as well. n its no surprise who she asked along. haha... so theres four of us.

the downside. both me n yy were too lazy to go down n buy the tix so early (it started selling at 11am today), we went only ard 2 plus... n there was only the front row seats left. BAHHH! but oh well we being cheapo aunties, we bot them tix anyways. heehee.

im so tired!! still got work to do. sian.

ya told me to post pics right?
here's an eye candy. she's sooooo HOT!

ADRIANA!! so hot.

been feeling faint the past couple days. dunno y.. but it sucks.
but anyway, today was jus like any other day, i gave tuition again! consec 3 days. sian man. the boy can just waste half an hour in total doing nothing but dragging his time. he can make me ask him to stop playing n do work, 5 to 6 times n its still to no avail. i dunno what he's thinking... tell me, what were u like as a P3 kid? restless creature as well? i will slap u ahhh!

well. mum n bro n yuan were at J8 waitin for me after tuition so i walked to join em. then walked ard n went home like 4 plus.. tired tired. den i went to meet dear YY at orchard. walked ard abit after she grabbed her mos burger... tried on some clothes... thats when i realised, and proved that i gained weight. horror*

we haven experienced the 'orchard air' for damn long so we decided to walk on the streets... at wheelock we saw this group of buskers called Wicked Aura Batucada. check them out.
it was my first time catching their performance, n boy was i glad that me n yy made the choice to sit down n wait for them to start, they were great! i hope they busk more often... den we'll get a chance to see them! but we def will go see lil ethan play the drums. its so touching heh.

well i was really missing u when i walked on the streets, been so long since we did that hand in hand. cant wait for u to be back!

im gonna go ZzzZzz now... been a long day. tireddd. bye!

Caufield Cup

Was studying HRM for the whole day. and something caught my attention when i pull up the blinds. I saw a couple of people in their mid 30s wearing very formally. The guys were all the suits and tie. The ladies looked like they're going for prom. I still dunno wat's going on until i went to Coles to do my groceries and buy tako-balls. Then i realised it's Caufield Cup day. Horse-racing at the Caufield racecourse. That explains why there're so many people. i was amazed. Caufield has never felt so alive and happening before until today. Oh yeah, and tako-balls sucked. It tasted damn bad. its hard and inside was suppposed to be Octopus but it didnt tasted like Octopus. I miss the one at taka basement. Really can't wait to go back.. really dread exams.

While taking a break, i browsed around, as usual. and found this:
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IMAGE MIGHT CAUSED PARANOIA, FRIGHT, ANXIETY AND NAUSEA. PEOPLE WITH WEAK HEART ARE NOT ENCOURAGED TO TRY.

Stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating.

It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

Amazing ehy? You really gotta concentrate on the + and dun blink. Go closer to your monitor and you will realised that the dots will slowly disappear. actually, THEY DON'T DISAPPEAR!!

Busy Busy Busy

Geez. . .Time passes so fast. I havent been able to post lately cos im too busy wit my work. Woke up today, feelin the best so far for this week. I havent been getting enough sleep. Or should i say, i have been sleeping enough, but not well. I dunno why im so tired all the time. Especially when i go to school for lessons. Anyway, had buyer behavior tute yesterday, feeling damn depressed. I actually hate going for that lesson to the point that i dread it alot. and if i could skip it, i would. first of all, there is so much work to be done for that subject and its damn demanding. Everyweek u either got mini-test or case study to be handed in. and then got a individual presentation which i dread the most, that is gon happen next week, the last week. sucks! i have exams the following week la. still presentation what shit. And there are so many Australians in the class, to the point that they dominate. whenever an asian trys to speak up, they treat it as if he/she was transparent. fucking obvious. One of my grpmate didnt even talk to me at all throughout the whole report writing which was grpwork. and when i talked to her, and she knows im talking to her, she doesnt even look at me, and acknowledge that i was talking to her. wtf! Made it so obvious. . . sigh. . .i hope i wont be in such classes anymore. i shall find a class that's well-balance next time.

Enough of shitty stuffs. Made a great breakfast this morning. felt like its gon be a boring and shitty day cos im gon study, so i made a gd breakfast to try and make my day better.

It's croissant (finally got the spelling right). It's one of my fav bread. With Pork and Leek sausages and 2 eggs. Right in the middle is teh tarik. yes, i tarik it myself. hungry?

Just got a call from Mel. Alethea wants to borrow my laptop. it's her turn to crash her system. seems like my laptop is still able to help alot of people in times of need. Eunice, Mel and now Alethea need to use. But i dunno wat's happening, everyone's system keep crashing. I hope it wont be my turn soon. if mine crash. . .speechless. so many things lost! and its so hard to get them back.

hm, anyway, i was saying. . . .been studying Buyer Behavior the whole day. and came across this 'Figure and Ground' thing. Whereby it is a technique marketers like to use to go make the 'figure' outstanding so that consumers will notice. So i went to google search images for some figure and ground images. and found absolut to have used this technique the most.

I tink its just brillant. To think of such ideas. They're still using the same technique but each ad offers different new ideas, which uve not tot of. Studying all these ads will make my subject so much more interesting than just max theory base! If only my sch will offer things like advertising art or something..do research on all these, then that'll be my shit.

hm..it's dinner time for me now. I still dunno what to eat. Survivor gon show in 15 mins! So im gon finish off wit these videos. Have a good laugh!!

I'm sure you have one of these freak-out moments as well.

This guy deserves it! LOL!!!

Chris Angel walks through glass!

Gotta try this someday! Though i dun drink Pepsi!

too much slp better den not enough slp? not so.

i cant seem to find out why im perpetually so tired........ i have slept late, yes. i have tried making up for my slp by sleeping 10 hours (or more) at a shot, nothing works. i just feel tird when im in a meeting or lessons. darn. this is bad. there r many pple who have been without slp for longer periods den me n still i see them more awake n revitalised den i am. shucks. maybe its a certain mineral or vitamin deficiency i have. can i take mc puuuuhlease? hahaha -_-

well got loads of project drafts due to be discussed together or jus pieced together during upcoming meetings. such a headache! i jus feel slpy. when thinking. of it. . . .

but why am i complaining so much when someone else is in much worst state den me. hey u, do take breaks when u feel really spaced out after long n tiresome studying alright? n dun drink too much coffee. or dun drink at all unless absolutely necessary.... it screws u up i tell ya. think u know what i mean.

oh btw i got a call from the citibank pple regarding the loan. im such a twit. i sent in both my parent's photocopied passports, but forgot the most impt one, my own! duhhhh. knock myself* bahhhh. oh well. i also wrote down my own IC number when its supposed to be my mum's. how smarrrt girl. now the processing time for the loan will take even longer! darn it.

gotta go skool tmr at like 1 plus tmr for a meeting. ok its not really a meeting, my mkt grp is meeting some guy for our project.. we're gonna interview him. yeap. and then im gonna slack ard... till my tuition time which is at 6pm. oh yeah, i finally got a tuition assignment... a P3 pesky bratty kiddo who is too smart with his mouth n too stubborn for his own good. he hates chinese n it dun help that i supposed to help him with that the most. DAMN.

teaching pesky P3 boys shorten ur life span. and make u have high blood pressure.
AND makes u suppress all that violence u have inside u which just keeps buildin up.
but yeah chill. its for the money, show me the money!! den i'll be =)
so practical but yeah, its the real world. lalalala... jia ge you qian ren? i haven watch yet...

Happy birthday sharon!! happy happy DotA

its finally sauron's birthday. we planned to have a bbq for her.. it was kinda like a 'burden' on my mind as i was wondering how to settle all the food... and also a few pple told me last min that they couldnt make it... so..... oh well. i really dun like last min changes n pull outs. =(
imagine what would have happened if we had really prepared all the food in advance? but in this case we din prepare so i have nothing to complain abt. but the pit money is gone. boooo. n i did lug my tongs (not thongs!) ard.. plus the metal grill AND my yummy marshmellows. oh well. save em for a bbq at siongyin's place den. hehh.

anyway happy birthday girl! hope ur FT dinner goes well tmr.. no cling clang with ur utensils, no stains or spills. jus a nice yummy lunch. n hopefully an equally exciting day to follow after the lunch.

but i guess it turned out really fine in the end cos we (sauron leonard n i) went to suntec's rice table in the end. as recommended by rach who went there with shuan. it was buffet style. they displayed small servings of different food on the table, n the dishes were placed on top of a metal heater. it was damn alot of variety of indo food...(i THINK its indo. i forgot. was worrying abt my budget. bahhhh) like 15? or more? n not to mention the koropok. i loved it, esp when dipped in the ssssspicccccy sambal. my tongue was on fire. sharon loved the prawn.. n i have to agree, it was damn gd. curried prawn. but somehow, as if to deter us from making anymore orders, the prawn got more n more unfresh with our subsequent orders. unfresh=mushy. eeew. i spat mine out. they prob did that to deter us from ordering toooooo many times. CHEATER BUGS!

overall the food was so-so la. i like my food served piping hot, so this one being cooked all together at once, was served cold n was meant to be warmed up by the pathetic tea lights they used below the metal stand. -_-'"

we wanted to catch a movie after dinner, but alas there wasnt a nice time slot to catch one. sobbbb! i haven caught a movie in ages!!! last one was... the island?? that was in the summer hols! damn i hate my life. hahahha kidding.

anyway in the end we went back to skool..! haha i know. seems weird huh. but we went to leonard's office to play com games. namely, DotA. seeems a whole lot like WC3, just dat u only control one hero n dat makes it easier i guess? troops r spawned automatically. leonard's colleagus(frens) were still ard, n this v patient guy taught sharon how to play. awww so sweettt. so in the end sharon played, i din. tot i might jus watch. den regretted not playing cos one game lasted really long.. n i couldnt just join in halfway like dat. sad. but it was quite funny hearing squeals n indignant protests from dear sharon cos she was being killed. lol.
think i might just drop by to play sometimes, when im FREE.
anyway in the end i stayed on to watch till abt 11.. cos the rest din wanna leave yet, too engrossed in games such as resident evil dota, n one dat was v similar to snake. haha so fun to play. the undead's spider will have to eat up babies(theres the gross sound effect too) to form a chain (like nokia's snake game) and the opponents can even kill each other by *squishing* damn funny, u can even accidentally squish n kill urself. lol!!
den took a cab back with leonard n sharon. too tired to take train n switch to bus... ZzZz

one day gone just like dat. so now, its back to a life of projects n more projects. cryy*
i just cant seem to get started.

~~~~~

and im sorry abt making our convo seem like a quarrel. i wish u din have to be away for so long.
and i feel u dun mind being away. away from me.

what do u do when life really seeems to suck big time?

Exam Turmoil

In less than just 2 week, i will be having my first paper for finance. and im only at chapter 6. and i have a buyer behavior presentation next week. This is just frustrating. Presentation is gettin in the way when im tryin to study my finance. Been working really hard these days, thats why no posting. Im keepin this one short as well, but i'll put some videos and flash. cos they're really funny.

Been addicted to the Axe brand medicated oil. Somehow it makes me calm and helps me focus while im studyin. I dun care whether im on substance abuse or whatever. Anything it takes to help me study better and work better, i'll do it. I just wanna faster get over everything.

I've applied for so many internships yet none replied. What am i gon do? shit. i need to work so that i will have money to buy the things that i want. i want a backpack and a camera. these two items are on my top list right now. besides that, i wanna go out wit my baby when im back. Hopefully can make a KL trip? i dunno. but she dun have the chance to work yet. Hppefully, she can get a tuition assignmt, but abit hard right now. I told u to get earlier. so by the time u get it, there will still be enough time for u to earn some money for the holidays. but its too late to say anything now. I just hope i get an internship or a job or whatever real soon. Hope someone replies me. -sigh-

Other than that, i just wanna focus on my studies and do well for this sem. cos mum gonna buy something for me if i do well this sem. my aims for this sem are quite high. Hopefully, i can achieved that.

break broke broken

thats what i am. broke that is. sigh.. i think i should have started finding tuition assignments much earlier.. then i wont be in this situation.. bahhz. now most of the agencies i called up tells me that they prob will only contact me after the primary skool kids have had their exams. thats like, NOV?? i cant wait. shall scrimp n save on the measly allowance i have then. cheyyyy.

i know its my mid term break now.. but i seem to be taking things a tad bit too lightly. where did my sense of urgency go to?? i have only projects n more research to settle now... dats really bugging me. 5 in total. Finance, TWC, MPW, Marketing and CAT!!! hai i rather do work n study anytime. haha.. maybe not. can i just opt for nothing? lol.

one month and.... 5 days more to go?? hmm. r u excited? i guess not, with all ur exams approaching soon. oh well, c'est la vie.
how come so many pple are using language not of their native roots to express themselves? i cant understand them. (even though its really easy to find out, im lazy). on msn on blogs etc etc i see foreign language pop out.. mostly french i think.. whatever. im an ignorant fool. but just wondering, does expressing oneself in another lang accentuate ur point? hmmmm.

------------------------------------------------------------------

buck up laydeee! same goes to u my man! even though its not for the last lap of the race. -----sigh*

Financial Management Mid Term Test - 26.5 / 100

Failed my mid term test for financial management. Wake up call came at the right time. The failure implies that i've not done enough work. I have to do more and this time i have to remember it in my thick head. This is my first failure so far since uni. And this mid term test is worth 15%. Not like it's alot but it just shows how bad i am at small tests. i've decided to be much more discipline for the rest of my days till my exams are over. Not much of a choice, less than 3 weeks till my first paper.

The above was my dinner. At this point in time, ure either thinking 'wat a pig...' or 'where the hell did u get the mood to cook up such a nice dinner when u failed ur mid term test'. Thing is i sort of vent my anger all out after i cooked and clean up the kitchen. Spent almost an hour cleaning up everything. Tough work. Felt better after taking a shower and saw how much ive done for the past 3 hours. 1 and 1/2 chapts of finance notes, cooked and washed up.

Dinner was really good. Seafood pasta. Steak in mushroom/black pepper sauce. And stir fry baby broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce. I was so full after eating it.

Baby, it may seem that today i havent contacted you much. I gotta let u know first, that the next few weeks will be like that. we'll be chattin for awhile in the night. i'm going full steam at my revision now or else i wont have time to finish. so pls do not expect too much from me. I really need to study or else things wont turn out right. I hope you understand. I called up Qantas today and they've checked my ticket. they told me it wasnt a ticket that allowed me to change the date so they help me e-mail the agency which i got the ticket from to ask how much more i'll have to pay in order to change the date of the flight. They need 2 working days to process that, so wont be so fast.

PHEW!

what a week. last week i had three exams which i would say was totally NOT well prepared for... *cry*

i had Managing People at Work on tues, marketing on thurs, and finance on sat. needless to say, last minute studying=not enough slp. one of my worst weeks ever.. i slept so late! not to mention the quality of slp wasn't satisfying at all due to the constant nagging feeling i had of guilt+fear+dread. wished i could have managed my time better and not get so easily distracted by the things that will render me incapable to read and absorb. bahhhh!

now, i feel guilty and weird for slacking, even though it did not stop me from doign so. but wth, i feel guilty for not doing work... even though i deserve a tiny break. maybe its because i know deep down that i do not deserve it, since i did not work hard enough. not half as hard as i shud have to pull up my damn low GPA. sigh.

i wanna play tennis with you too. can? i wanna join you there. its number one on my wish list. i can forgo many more items on my wishlist if this one can come true.. SIGH.

anyway no slacking la. even though i had my last mid term paper this morning... CAT... the dreaded meow meow... no mroe CAT exams for the sem! hurrayyy!.................BUT. many projects on the way... my mid term break is next week, n i got 5 projects to settle!! *panicks*!!! meetings everyday?? nooooo.....!!!

hopemylifegetsbetterandhappyhappyhappyyy. ihope.

Study Month

The month of October will be occupied with loads of studyin. My first exam will be financial management. On the 25th Oct. That's less than 3 weeks! and i feel like i dunno much abt that subject. -sigh- revision is going to be so bad. and my exams will also be over in a flash. The good thing among all these is that I will be able to go home earlier. Im ending my exams on the 7th Nov. The upcoming month will be filled wit lots of complaints abt how hard this is and how little time i have to study for my exams and shit. I hope u dun mind. I'll try and make it as interesting as it can be for you.

Raymond Tricia and I were talkin about playing sports next sem. making it a regular thing. I was damn happy. But of all sports, they had to choose tennis. Why can't they choose badminton, or something that i can play. heh. but then they play tennis for leisure, so im guessing they can play but they're just relatively gd at it. And when i say relatively good, it means that one can return the ball back and for, keeping it going for quite some time, and not picking balls at tennis most of the time. The good thing is that they'll be playing in Uni, which is the best for me, cos i stay very near sch and i can go home straight after that.

Sports has been a great part of my life till I went to JC. a very bad-managed badminton brings no future. Being normal in bowling doesnt get u far. Other sports arent very attractive when ure in a normal college, cos there aint much discipline and not much sense of belonging as well. So my 'sports life' sort of ended. When i talk abt sports, i mean playing it so often that that's the sport that keeps u fit and u can eat as much as you want and still remain as fit. Thats was the situation when i was in secondary sch. Basically played basketball every single day. and i'll be all soaked up in my t-shirt. Sounds disgusting, but that allowed me to eat alot and yet not grow horizontally. So it's a very good thing that they are planning to play tennis regularly. i hope they will make it like twice a week.

Still struggling wit my business data modelling assignmt which is due next week. Have to pre-read lecture notes and try to figure out alot of things before i can finish that assignmt. Still have a buyer behavior presentation that is bugging me alot. It just sucks to be in a class full of Australians, feel damn out of place, even though u try not to think abt it. They just continuously make u feel that ure inferior. The worst part of all is that my presentation is on the 13th weel, the last week of a semester. Im guessing i wont have a relatively large audience.

Finally, some good news. I'm going to call Qantus tmr and changed my flight to a earlier date. Yes, i will be going back earlier. miss ma baby and driving.

POLO Collar T-Shirt

Woke up today, started doing some work for business data modelling. Uni has only taught until week9, but im already in week11. And assignment is due next week, which covers material up to week10 and abit of week11. How am i supposed to finish it? -sigh- Exams are less than a month away. Financial management is the 1st paper. On the 25th Oct! so damn fast!

I was waitin in anticipation for the postman to ring my bell and tell me i've got a parcel (which is the black POLO tee i bought from ebay). Until it was abt 145pm, i went downstairs to throw my rubbish, the postman stopped right in front of me. I even open the door to let him in as the letterbox is inside the building. I was looking what he was holding. No parcels...

After he left, i opened my letterbox straight away. There was a note, asking me to collect the register mail from the post office. Smelling like cooking oil, i quickly took a shower and head down to the post office. As i was walking towards the post office along Waverley Road, i took out the note and realised it wasnt at the post office along waverley road. It's another post office on Wattletree Road. So i suppose it's the post office near the park. So i walked there. abt 10 mins walk. It was sunny but the wind was cooling, so it was ok. nice walk. However, when i reached there, the person told me it another post office down the road. I was confused because the post office which was near the park was at the intersection of wattletree road and central park road. So i have to head down to the one at wattletree road. another 15min walk! I havent been to that area before so it was like exploring new places. Nothing much. But i spotted a mexican restaurant named taco bill. heard from ronny that it's good. shall go there and eat someday. Anyway, i got the parcel and quickly head on home. While walking home, i couldnt wait to feel the material and see if it's real and authentic, though i already suspect it wont be authentic. So i tore a small hole and felt the material, it was nice material. When i got home, i ripped open everything and to my surprise, the Polo logo was in purple, i tot it shud be in red. But heck, the material was very nice.

I think it's nice. Spent AUD$42.90 on this. There was a tag (the white one) which says "Suggested Retail Price: AUD $54.90. Made me feel better but i tink the cost price to make this in Phillipines is bloody cheap.

Just Another Rainy Day..

im chomping on my mum's yummy pumpkin cake as im typing all this.. all the goodness of dried shrimp and mushrooms coupled with a dash of chili sauce... yum yum! *grins*

woke up today at nine feeling deeply unsettled. its the type of feeling that turns ur stomach sick and makes u unable to slp... i had no idea y i was feelin that. it felt as tho i lost someone i loved. or maybe it was just me feelin stressed about CAT. anyway i went back to slp in an attempt to make up for my past nights of oh-so-unsatisfying slp.

(yummmmyum, im gonna get a second helping after this)

bali got bombed again. was told by you la, since i dun have time to keep up with news. just a stupid excuse, i know, since i NEVER ever followed news.. ooopsy. but anyway back to bali... i went there in J1 year end hols i think... with my aunt and 2 cousins. it was really a nice and relaxing place, but a tad bit too hot! oh well, if u want the beach, the heat comes along as a package. oh wait i think i was thinking about someone throughout the trip and how nice it would be if he was with me. so now that its got bombed again.. i might not ever have the chance to go there. stupid bombers! y do they bomb their own country!? i dun really care abt the politics and all, yes im dat shallow.. but i think its a beautiful place n i still wanna go there in the future so leave it alone. im too tired to say anything abt this now. got work to do.

hope noone get bitten by anymore mosquitoes.. horrible humid weather in spore jus encourages all these. sighhh.

btw, check this out if you havent, some guy came up with it.. how sad for chinese guys (n girls) laaa. but its v funny.

men shud think twice before raping anyone in the future. tho i wonder how the device works....... what if it activates while INSIDE. *mortified!

Way Over The Top

Watched Transporter 2 yesterday. If u've watched the 1st one, u'll go into the cinemas with high expectations of the movie. That's wat i went into Hoyts, Melbourne Central, and coming out feelin that the whole show is so shallow. There are two elements which are used extensively - action and car. Jason Statham, who is the transporter, is being portray as a superhero who can save the world by using just a car. Apparently, he dodge some bullets in the movie as well. Reminds me of the Matrix. Everything is exaggerated in the movie. However, if ure looking for some excitement out of a boring day, it's a recommended movie.

Fried Chicken Rice

The highlight of today will be the fried chicken rice i prepared just now. It turned out exceptionally well. However the kitchen gave me abit of trouble.

The returns was good even though i had to clean up the kitchen.

Looks good ehy? Go back, i'll cook for you and let u try.

Just came back from the airport to pick up Mel. Lucky her, went back to Singapore for a few days. wish i could be so lucky as well. but. . .hm . . Went to spicy fish to eat. she treated us. The spicy fish was really spicy. I eat until i was sweating. It was 'ma la' with fish, and anothe pot wit beef. It tasted quite ok. but i tink too spicy till it just overwrites all the taste. Went to Il Dolce for gelato after that. made it JIT. had pandan, roche and vagnila.
