Busy busy busy......!!!

Just came back from my CCA's main comm meeting and realised that I need to do up a presentation slides + sharing session for about half an hour next Wed, for those new freshies that will be attending the orientation camp next week.....

But it's like only 4 more days to do up the presentation!?!?!?! And then next Wed I'm also having my GN02 exam in the morning, straight after tt must give presentation liaoz... Arz!! It's definitely rushing for many of us, but luckily my upper-study has decided to help me out with the slides, so that I can concentrate on studying for my exam next week. Thanks so much!

And now..... back to mugging for the next 4 days!

Night at East Coast Carpark

Went out with 5 of my uni friends last night for prawning session, which turned out to be everyone's virgin experience except one. In my opinion, I really think that prawning is smth which I dont think I will ever want to do again with my friends next time. It's an utter waste of time. 6 guys, 2 rods, $15 per hr per rod. And the end result? We caught NOTHING. And seriously, our baits were being eaten up quite a few times throughout, so we have to constantly replace the bait using some chopped-up calm meat (the default bait that was given).... Or u can request for 'live' worms which none of us dare to touch except for one friend of mine, who actually said "Sorry" to the worm b4 hooking it up alive. Kinda gross, but apparantly it seems to have a greater effect than the former bait. Well, at least there was once we nearly hooked up a prawn, but it just flew up, nearly hitting the ceiling before dropping down to the pond again.

But luckily for me and 1 friend of mine, we were busy playing against each other on "Mario Kart", with our DS lite. No doubt that Mario Kart is one of the best games in DS lite/Wii.

And we drove to "Chomp Chomp" to have our dinner/supper there. Actually it's my first time there too, and I think it's quite worth it to go there as the food is quite nice and cheap. So the "exciting" part comes! Initially we have 2 cars, so split 3 person in each car. But since one of them need to go back early, the remaining 5 of us then squeezed into 1 car, while my friend returned the other car back his house.

So where did we go?

My friends said since it's past mid-night, and the night was still young, perhaps we should go East Coast Park to watch some "free show". Seriously, I was rather skecptical initially, because I was wondering we will be "lucky" enough to catch any couple "doing that" in their car. Nevertheless, since we were ultimately "boliao", we decided to try our luck. Okay, according to my friend, I think there are 2 carparks in East Coast that are mostly parked by big-sized lorries/vans. Hence, the easiest method is catch couple "doing that" is to spot any car that is suspiciously parked in between 2 big vehicles. Well, isn't that obvious? We went to the first car-park, and well, some people were well-prepared for "peeping toms" like us. Their car windows were either heavily frosted, OR they have some kind of black-tinted window such that you can't see through at all. Owellz, you must be thinking how "boliao" can we get.

So we went to the 2nd car-park, and this time we were in luck@! We caught this couple in a car that were parked in the middle of the carpark, between 2 big lorries. So my friend decided to park our car as slowly and quietly as possible at a strategic location, so that we can all have a "better view" of what's happening. We watched for a good 5 minutes, where the the couple take turns to "pound" on each other. Well, I admit that we could only see black figues against the streetlight background, but that was more than enough to figure out what's happening. Initially my friend suggested perhaps when the couple were about to reach their "optimal stage", we should just flash our high beam at them, followed by a loud honk, and then we shall make our escape. That will obviously give a rude shock to the couple, and I think that's really farked-up to do, so we think perhaps we should wait awhile more and decide wat to do later.

Hold and behold....... The driver suddenly switched on his car's engine, well, obviously his car's backlight was on as well. I'm wondering izzit because we were giggling SO LOUDLY that they heard us or what. Anyway, what happened next completely took us by surprise. The car decided to do a quick 3-point turn, and instead of the boot of the car facing us, the couple's car is now facing us, as if it's waiting to "confront" us. At that point of time, none of the cars have their front light turned on, so it was still too dark to see each other's faces. And suddenly that IDIOT decided to turn on their HIGH-BEAM at US! Like wtf!?!!?!!??! Obviously the 3 person sitting behind (including me), we were so "hum-ji" that we just bent down and hide our faces immediately. Anyway, it was so glaring that we were blinded momentarily. Pity my 2 friends in front who obviously have no place to duck their faces!

Isn't it obvious by now that they were trying play punk with us. So my friend instantly turned on our high-beam as well. No doubt it was glaring, but we still managed to catch a glimpse of the the young couple. First response from me was "The gal is demn ugly lar!" Nvm, that's not the main point. And the couple decided to advance their car abit, as if they want to block our way such that we will have difficuly getting of our current parking lot. My friend was extremely "dulan" that he just drove recklessly out of the carpark, make a turn round to the other side of the carpark, such that we are now behind their car again. My friend juz shine the high beam at them, as if to convey a message to them "If you want to play punk, we shall play with you!" Arz, at that point I was hoping things wont get out of control. Anyway, while tt couple was trying to reverse their car to come near us, my friend decided to make a quick exit to ECP... And ta-da, that's the end of our "adventure".

And seriously, I also don't know why should we be afraid of them. After all, they are the ones who are doing illegal stuff, not us. Arz, but nevertheless, thank goodness there wasn't any trouble.

Less than 2 weeks to Japan trip... But I'm not really prepared yet. Firstly, I haven't changed my money to JPY. And the fact that these few days JPY has been rising, rising and rising is not a very good news! Arz, can SGD appreciate or JPY depreciate these few days!?!?!? Secondly, I haven really planned my trip yet. I've not printed out the Tokyo maps which I need, e.g Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ueno, Harajuku, Akihabara, etc etc. Thank goodness my hostel is just a 20 minutes walk to Asakusa, where there's a temple that's famous for fortune telling. And the fact that I can even lose my way in a Singapore shopping centre means that I'm really very BAD at navigating. Haiz, ever since young I always tend to rely on others to lead the way, and never bother remembering significant "places" that I have passed by. Okay, I think I better open my eyes BIG enough when I'm in Tokyo 2 weeks later. Oyaz, I want to go Yasukuni Shrine this time round! Previously I only managed to pass by the shrine while I was in the coach, becuz the shrine wasn't part of the itinery.

Currently I'm addicted to 2 PSP games, "Patapon" and "Loco Roco". 2 more weeks to exam and I'm still playing...*tsk*.. Actually I juz wanted to get some new PSP games for my Japan trip lar, in case I get bored, and ended up I started playing now. -_-''' Owellz, no worries, as I have quite a few other new PSP games on hand as a "back-up", in case I play finish some of the PSP games before I even go for my trip.

So I went to school on Tuesday for course registration. Owellz, I managed to get all my default modules, but I juz cant seem to get a class for the stupid AA202. Haiz, ended up "sacrificing" my AB214 in order to get another AA202 slot timing. I'm quite pleased with my time-table now. For AA201, AA203 and AC213, I can expect to see at least 8 familiar faces, so I guess forming project groups shouldn't be a problem. (And I mean doing projects with people who can WORK, so I can free-ride abit...=X) But I'm all alone for AA202 and AB214. Haiz, sianz... But no choice arz.

Okay, I shall start mugging next week onwards!!!!! As of now... Hmm... I shall slack abit first.

So ystd went for a looooooooong session at my CCA venue (cannot type out due to sensitive issue arz) No, not for regular session when we are supposed to play games, but to give tuition to 2 of the boys. As one of my friend who's supposed to give afternoon tuition couldn't make it, I decided to give both afternoon and night tuition since I'm like rotting at home. But seriously, trying to teach the WHOLE N-level (technical) science syllabus from scratch, within 2 months, is so demn tiring!?!?!!??!?! Especially ystd when I have 4 hrs of sci tuition (4pm to 6pm, then 7pm to 9pm). So as of now I have covered about 75% of the syllabus I guess... And hopefully the remaining 25% within the next few weeks before sch starts. I've promised the boys I will definitely be available for tuition during the entire 3 months hols, but can't guarantee much when sch reopens as I have CCA main-comm stuff to settle. Worse is when I feel tt certain ppl in my CCA are so selfish and if I were to ask them take over me, they will probably come out with 101 excuses how they r so busy n stuff. Whatever.

And the time-table planning is giving me headache as well. Initially I just wanted to plan with 3 or 4 friends, so next time we can do projects together or smth like tt. But for this kind of thing, it's obvious must "give and take" watz. Learn to accomodate and compromise. I also dont really like it when I accomodate abit, and yet the other party wont accomodate to me. So okie, I think I will probably stick to my friends for 3 modules, and the other 2 modules I shall be alone.

I will be taking 5 acct modules next sem (by default is 4 mods only), and there is one mod in which I will be taking with grp B ppl, which is AA202. But the shit thing is I DONNO ANYONE FROM GROUP B!!?!?!?!?!?!? At least in last sem, I could still ask my sem1 friends for help in some of the tutorials, projects even if we are in different classes, becuz we r still taking the same modules afterall. But now I'm totally on my own for this module with no one to "rely on" if I need help in project/tutorials etc. Haiz, maybe I shld start asking my classmates to intro all their grp B friends to me so I wont be tt "lost" when I take this mod next sem.

I wonder it may seem a better idea if you plan ALONE as compared to planning with friends sometimes.

Came across this article and thought there was some typo error??

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/437004/1/.html

US says it's ready for possible NKorean missile launch to Hawaii

US media reported on Thursday that the US military was tracking a flagged North Korean ship suspected of ferrying banned weapons cargo in violation of a UN Security Council resolution adopted last week.

The ship, the Kang Nam, departed a port in North Korea on Wednesday and appears to be heading toward Singapore, according to media reports.

Singapore?????? Hmm... I wonder what business we have with N.Korea?

After my exam ended last week, I managed to rest 3 days before school starts on Mon night. This time round is only 1 module (instead of 2), so still okay arz. But the most stupid thing is only during the 1st lesson then the tutor said we r supposed to go library to buy our notes, n there won't be any uploading of soft copy of notes in edventure. Kaoz, and there's a group project for this module...Argz... even worse. Really HATE doing projects. If do individual report still okay, but the idea of doing GROUP project really sucks arz.

Apparantly this module seems quite "okay". This module is on Eco-architecture, which is taught by an architect (like obviously)... So during the 1st lesson, the lecturer spent 1 hr telling us why we must take General Electives...to broaden our knowledge..then say abt NTU ranking.. then talk abt the educational system in S'pore..from PSLE to university... talk abt history of NTU...

Seriously, I thought all these were part of the syllabus, until he said "Okie, all these r juz to let u know why we have GER. I shall start my lesson proper now" Like wtf??? Nvm, then he spent another 1 hr telling us what is Global warming. Say wat the temp rise, then sea level rise, then alot organism die.. blah blah... Then 50 yrs down the road the world will be in a bad shape.. Like wtf again? Okay, maybe cuz this module is about ECOLOGICAL-architecture. Then the rest of the lessons r "pure rubbish", from stuff like how we shld conserve energy. Then say in S"pore we r a "garden city"... And say wat rooftop garden arz, then show us like thousands of photographs of different building in the world.. The 7 wonders of the world?? And I donno watz. Okay arz, this module is kinda "interesting" in a sense.. At least it's abit common sense.

Haiz, I'm really tired after this kind of study-exam-study-exam kind of lifestyle. I probably die if I dont go Japan after this exam in July. Need to get out of this crazy lifestyle, which all my friends told me when they heard I'm taking 3 modules in special terms. Owellz, as of now, try to watch as many Korean drama as possible! -_-'''

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/433332/1/.html

SEOUL : South Korea's main spy agency believes North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has designated his third and youngest son, Jong-un, as his successor, a lawmaker said.

Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-woon or Kim Jung Woon (born January 8, 1984)

He described Jong-Un as a "chip off the old block, a spitting image of his father in terms of face, body shape and personality."

Seriously, ARE WE GOING TO FACE ANOTHER 50 YEARS OF HARD-CORE COMMUNIST NORTH-KOREA? #%&@(##$%^%#@()(*&^$$

So shiok! Yesterday and today I just chiong watching the entire korean drama 꽃보다 남자 (the Korean version of meteor garden - 25 episodes).

Actually I wanted to watch becuz the female actress, which previously acted in this 167 episodes drama 'Pure 19', kinda caught my attention the previous time. She's not pretty or what arz, but I find that her acting skills are quite good, and I'm not surprised that the character she acted in are rather similar. Again, she acted as some poor young lady in which some rich man has fallen for her. As usual, the rich guy's parents oppose and blah blah... Kinda expected storylines that you can get from such romance drama, but most importantly, I enjoyed the "process" where I can sleep 8 hrs, sit in front of comp to watch 15 hrs, and 1 hr is for miscellaneous such as meals or bath or whaever in a single day of 24hrs, repeating it for a few days.

Strangely, I used to complain abt how sucky korean drama can be, about how soapy they are and the women in almost EVERY drama can cry majiam it's the end of world. I still remember my sec3 and 4 form teacher said that majiam Korean ladies have a water tap inside their eyes, so that whenever they are required to cry, they can just 'on' this tap and tears can flow non-stop out of their eyes. Ehz... as of now, I believe everything is still the same? Korean woman are forever so fierce and always fighting and shouting like there's no law. There's always SO MANY slapping scenes. (It's kinda scary if most Singaporean women are like that) Okie lar, perhaps I have kinda accepted the fact that this is the style of korean dramas, and as long the story plot is something nice, I believe nothing else matters. On the other hand, typical Japanese drama are like maximum 10 or 11 episodes, and I kinda feel it's DEMN SHORT!? No wonder one can easily finish one jap drama a day. I dont really have much impression of Japanese drama in my mind arz, although they are good for their anime (like obviously).

And I have no comments about HK and Taiwan dramas.

12 days from now will be the end of my exam, and I shall conquer another Korean drama!

These few days or recent weeks, I realised some of my friends' nicks seem to be all abt the H1N1 infection in Japan.

As everyone knows, there's been quite "abit" of increase in the no. of H1N1 infection in Japan. Whatever it is, I think it shouldn't be that "exaggerating" as most news or people have put it. After all, "The government has urged calm and reminded people that no one in Japan has so far died of the disease and that most infections are mild." So seriously, I dont think it's gonna affect much, unless you're going Osaka or Kobe? Going to Tokyo shld be okie, since there wasn't much news abt the virus taking place in Tokyo. But as experts have predicted, it's sooner or later that the 36 million populated city will be affected to a "large scale".

Bottom line is, regardless how many people are infected, I will definitely be going Tokyo end of July. UNLESS either S'pore or Japan decides to impose new rules against going there, then suck thumb arz. So okie, I seriously just hope this stupid swine flu can stop spreading to make less people paranoid abt this infection.

Got back my result. Okie, that's quite a few days ago already. Hmm... Shall say I'm quite happy lar, cuz at least it pulled me up quite abit such that my current cumulative GPA is at a relatively "comfortable level" to me. (My standard is not that high compared to most of my coursemates..)

Didn't do well for OB (as usual) and hence, I'm now in a dilemma whether shld I S/U my HP807 module. That module is similar to OB in terms of content wise, but the exam format is defintely very diffierent cuz it will ask more direct ques like "What is MARS model (15 marks)" or smth like "What are the big5 personality dimensions (10 marks)". Obviously that's y this exam will be a closed book exam, unlike OB which is open-book. AND AT LEAST IT DOESN'T HAVE STUPID CASE SCENARIOS LIKE OB, so there isn't much working of the brain that u need for this HP807 exam. The lecturer was even kind enough to tell us specifically the ques that he's gonna ask us....-_-''' So that makes me even more tempted not to S/U, becuz all I need to do is to memorise all the model answer and vomit them all out in the exam. (Sounds like typical bio exam paper)

One side of me says I shld S/U since I screw up OB kinda badly. Another side tells me this exam will be different from OB, and all I need is to vomit the model ans out, everything will be fine. Owellz, after much consideration, I guess I won't S/U this module, neither the astro paper.

Full blast of mugging for the next 2 weeks till exam ends!!!

2 weeks have passed since special term starts. Hence, I'm officially left with 3 more weeks of lessons until exam, which is the very week after the last lesson (aka week 6). For some reasons or the other, I felt special terms seem abit "more xiong" than normal terms, which wasn't what I really expected becuz there's NO PROJECTS for electives and hence, I expected myself to be more relaxed. But then, there's this 2000 words report to be handed up in week 5, and tt's like 2 weeks from now. Luckily this is an individual report and hence, I can do at my own free time, ALTHOUGH I'VE GIVEN MYSELF A TARGET TO FINISH THE REPORT BY THIS COMING SUNDAY (17th May).

Astronomy on the other hand was rather neglected becuz there wasn't any assignment or what and the quiz is 2 weeks from now. But I felt kinda disgusted becuz aside from learning planets thingyi, I'm learning things that are taught in A-level physics. And I seriously respect my friends who still can remember physics stuff although it's like... 3+ years ago since we touched it, and yet they seem to be able to recap majiam they juz did A-levels yesterday. Even things like angular momentum or E = mc^2 seem alien to me now.

I guess it's the "holiday mood" that make me kinda reluctant to study. Afterall, I barely have one week of rest after exam when special term starts. So if this continues, I can almost say I've studied "non-stop" from January to November for this whole of year 2009 (assuming that one week rest is negligible)

And saying all these, I'm really really tempted to S/U one of these electives, but on the other hand I felt kinda stupid that I pay $500 for one module to S/U. Haiz, I guess I shall leave it to next Friday when I get back my result. If it's still "okay", then I think I will S/U one of it becuz I can concentrate better on the other. If my results are disgusting (high probability), I shall not S/U any module and start to MUG my life off to do well for these 2 electives. Cross-fingers for next Friday.

And becuz it's the end of the academic year, I have to start learning to take over my "upper-study" in my CCA. During some rally 2 months ago, I was appointed the coordinator for my CCA (Welfare Service Club - Boys Home). And next week is the first main comm meeting I'm having, owellz, must start learning the ropes from my upper-study, if not when sch starts and there's CCA recruitment week, I will be dead if I can't do a good job for it. But guess it's still rather early to plan for the CCA recruitment thingyi now. Hope I'll be able to work well with all the other block heads of Boys Home, as well as Girl's home. (and I still don't know ALOT of people in my CCA, and I cant seem to know everyone's names well enough) Abit doubtful whether I can lead well enough. Haiz, just hope the seniors can "help help abit" and close one eye if I make any mistakes in future.

Had a very "shiok" day today. Went to Pulau Ubin for a cycling trip, good exercise for me, since it's been so long I had a proper exercise. I think we started cycling at around 10am and decided to call it a day at around 230pm.. But then I dont think I managed to burn off any fats becuz I had a LARGE plate of nasi lemak at Changi Village after that. -_-''' Owellz, nvm, it's for the fun of it... Lolx, since I've nv been to ubin for cycling trip before.

And although exams officially ended on Tuesday, there isn't much time for me to rest. School is starting next week! Ogosh, abit sianz, BUT NVM, studying electives is at least not as shit as studying core modules where there's so many rubbish projects to be done. So the 3 modules I'm taking are:

EE8086 ASTRONOMY - STARS, GALAXIES AND COSMOLOGY
HP807 PSYCHOLOGY OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT
GN02 ECO-ARCHITECTURE IN THE URBAN LIVING ENVIRONMENT

So can clear a total of 9 AUs also not bad lar. I think better then working part time, if I can grad one sem earlier. So for the next 3 sem, I will need to take 4 core and 1 elective each and I will be able to GET OUT of NTU by end of next yr. Arz!!! Really looking forward to it! Although this will mean that the moment I finish my exam in late july, I'll have juz 2 weeks of rest and sch gonna start again. But nvm, it's okie. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF NTU ASAP!??!!!??

HP807 is almost 70% similar to OB while I was looking at the course outlines and lect notes for next week. Studying things like emotions, attitudes, personality, values, job-matching, MBIT, MARS model and alot alot very "familiar" things that I studied during the useless OB lessons. Dont know shld I feel happy becuz it's smth I study b4 (so got a little bit of advantage) or to hate it cuz it's OB stuff!? All right, I shall study this module and try to love it. AT LEAST THIS 1 DON'T HAVE 3500 words report can liaoz.

Had OB exam today. And I really DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE for OB!!!! I felt really stressed when I see people start scribbling like nobody's business and yet I am still reading the stupid case study and not writing anything yet. Secondly, I felt even more farking stress that I keep flipping the notes/TB, but I "noticed" ppl around me like dont even bother relying on ANY notes even though it's an open book exam.

And clearly I have NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I AM WRITING>. Farking DEAD for OB. And I left some parts here and there BLANK becuz I really got no time to finish. Argz, stupid module. But good news is I'm NEVER EVER gonna touch tt @#$%^&* module again!!!

I'm so farking dead for stats. ARGZ!!! WHY AM I SO FARKING STRESS COMPARED TO LAST SEM!?

I think I know why.

Like Darrell said, last sem is ONE exam per week. Now is ALL exams in one week. Fantastic. I looked at the past yr papers n I donno how to do. ARGZ!!! DYING from studying stats. I HOPE NEVER EVER EVER EVER to touch stats in my life again.

I was looking around in facebook then realised someone post some link regarding some university grad salary or wat arz. From MOE website: http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/post-secondary/

Worst mean salary among all courses in NTU.... Sometimes I also donno why study until so hard, in the end the starting pay like so cui, abit sianz also. Owellz, wat to do, TOO BAD I DIDN'T KNOW ALL THESE FACTS WHEN I APPLIED 3 YEARS AGO!?

Had a biochem test on Thursday, and the next time I will ever be touching it will be 22 Apr which is after all my 4 core exams. As of now, I shall temporarily forget what is DNA/RNA/mRNA/tRNA etc to allow more brain memory for more impt stuff.

As usual, I skipped OB seminar this week (which is supposed to be the last lesson), then my groupmate sms us our project grade. Wah kaoz, abit cui leh. I think becuz of me lar, I think the other 3 ppl always seem to contribute alot but I dont really bother to improve on my part. And I really think my OB overall grade this time round will be cui arz.

Compared to last sem where I have one open-book exam (Biz Law), I have 2 open book exams (Stats and OB) this sem.. So it appears to be "slightly better", BUT STILL, the exam dates are like shit. 3 core papers consecutively. Ogosh, and I'm really demn scared I will not have enough time to prepare for all....

AND I'M SO GONNA MUG LIKE HELL THIS TIME!!!!!! NO WATCHING TV. NO COMING ONLINE TO MSN OR FACEBOOK (except to check NTU email and edventure for updates). Today shall be the LAST TIME I SLACK!!!!!!

STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!! I wan to study!I love econs, accting, OB, stats. And of cuz biochem!!!!

End of projects

I'm so happy as of now because ALL projects for this sem have been submitted! Okay lar, I really think I put in much lesser effort for this sem's projects as compared to last sem, summore this sem's projects seem less "time-consuming" as compared to last sem. But still, all projects suck. And whether I do well or not is another story. But like I mentioned b4, my project mates this sem are all powerhouse, so I can safely "free-ride" throughout w/o much worries of the grades. HOPE SO LAR. If do badly also no choice.....

And what's left now is intensive mugging for exams. And did I say I hate KEYNESIAN MODEL or donno watever shit u call tt. Microeconomics give ppl the wrong idea that econs seem "understandable", until after the recess week, when it's all Macroeconomics then I realise how shit econs can be.

Owellz, time to MUG very hard for this sem. Pls give me at least one blardy A- for this semester pls. I know all my classmates only aim for A or A+ (even A- seems abit cui for them) and here I am struggling to aim for A-. Haiz, life can be demoralising when u know u r just so cui compared to the majority of the ppl around u.

OB sucks

Half a semester has passed, and I can safely conclude that the MOST DISGUSTING module in this semester is Organisational Behavior (OB). Seriously, with like 25% of the people getting C or D grade for the mid-term test (weightage is 20%), it is one of the most hated module considered by all. And yes, I did super disgustingly for this test as well. Screw OB... No wonder Xueli was saying OB is disgusting as well.

Many people always say OB is just COMMON SENSE and no need to study much 1. Kaoz, obviously not people have "common sense" to understand OB, and I happen to be one of them.

Seriously, stats/econs/acctounting is 1000000000 times easier than OB, as far as I can see from the results of the various tests I got back this week.... At the start of the sem, I was thinking maybe I can perhaps get one blardy 'A-' for OB becuz initially many ppl said it's easy. I think if I can even get B for OB is already MIRACLE.

OB sucks! Thank goodness I'm not business student, if I kana stream into Human Resource Consulting, I'll probably go knock wall liaoz.....

Finally I got myself down to studying for stats!! But to be frank, I seriously donno why the hell I am learning all the things (as in those yr1 modules). Almost 99% of the time I'm juz studying w/o understanding and after exam will basically forget everything because they don't really make much sense to me. Xueli was asking me yesterday about how to use Financial Calculator about donno wat CF, think she 4get how to press liaoz. And amazingly, when I look at my financial calculator, I realised I also donno how to press too!!! Owellz, FM sucks to the core!

On a side note, special term modules are already out. And while I was looking at them, think some of the modules are quite okay arz. So I guess if time-table doesn't clash, I will want to register 4 modules of electives and that will be 12AUs in total. And if I clear 2 more electives in each of my yr2 sem1 and sem2, I'll be left with 16 AUs by the time I start sch in yr3!! Okay, and obviously I want to clear all of that during that sem and I REALLY REALLY hope I can GET OUT of NBS by Dec 2010 (tt's like end of next yr).

Some of my classmates were talking abt working during the 3 months holiday, and sumhow I ended up sharing this with some of my classmates. A few were saying y am I "rushing" my time-table!? Trying to complete within 2.5 yrs. 3 yrs is already very slack, let alone 2.5 yrs. Then others also said u r supposed to enjoy your "uni life" instead and not juz cramping until u miss out all the happening stuff in sch. Owellz, so I told them my frank feelings:

Regardless whether I study 3 yrs or 2.5 yrs, I don't think I will ever miss my time in NBS. So forget it, I don't really have much favorable memories in tt place anyway. Okay lar, some of my classmates are really nice people. Other than that the environment sucks. Hence, my aim is not because I want to go work earlier or whatever shit. I juz want to GET OUT that @%^& sch ASAP. Secondly, I don't feel proud to be a student of that sch. In the past, I used to scold my classmates who wear NBS t-shirt for lessons, walking around with those disgusting t-shirts. Okay, I only wear it for sleep becuz it's FREE, and other than that, I really find that t-shirt disgusting to the max.

All right, enough of grumbling. Time to continue studying more stats.

Good bye Chief

Today I went for my chief's funeral wake which was held at Kallang, followed by the burial ceremony at the Muslim Cemetery in Lim Chu Kang (amazingly close to my camp)

Up to now, I really can't accept the fact that she just passed away like that... According to those who r still in branch, she was still working on Fri and then on Fri night itself, this unfortunate thing had to take place. Nobody could believe things just had to happen this way, she was really a well-liked warrent officer by many people, especially those who had worked under her. I could still remember the days when she always joked with us, then outside of camps treat us to meals sometimes, and most importantly is that she treats everyone very well!! Sometimes gossiping with us how some XXX officer is so sucks, or how she kana arrow the work from S1, and blah blah... She was really a forgiving person, I remembered that my old CO used to hammer her alot, in the sense of giving her alot of troubles by keep scolding her. Although she was very pissed off, she said that she won't hold any hatred becuz she believes that there's no point in having a grudge for that. And she believed God is watching over everything that is happening.

Those fond memories with her juz instantly came flashing back when I saw her body at the wake just now. It seems as if these happy events juz happened ystd and are so fresh in my mind now. The most memorable day is when she invited us to her house during Hari Raya and cooked all the nice nice food for us.. Seriously, she's more like an elder sister to all of us!!

I couldn't control my emotions at the burial ceremony juz now when they were saying the last prayer for her and were about to cover her body with the last bit of sand. Everyone just felt so emotional at that point of time.

The last time I saw her her was during my ORD day when I got back my pink IC. After I ORD, I was still chatting with my friends in MSN that one day must go back 4SIR to find her and give her a surprise visit! And she was even telling us camp very sianz, next time meet outside better... HAIZ, and I really can't understand why things have to turn out this way in seeing her for one last time.

Those who have worked with you will remember the wonderful memories you have brought to us. I just hope that Chief has left this world peacefully with no regrets, and that her family will remain strong in the remaining days to come...
