Back On Track!


Phew! The result of the MCQs' section for company accounting is out, and guess what, I managed to get 70% of the questions correct. That means together with the marks for the business response essay in section B, I should be able to get at least 20 out of 28 in total, and that is definitely a brilliant start in this subject... I did quite well for my mid-semester exam in management accounting too, which I got a proportioned percentage of 22 out of 30, and so it was indeed a double joy for me... I'm now hoping to secure at least 40% in my total coursework (out of 50%) which includes the tutorials and assignments for these two subjects, so that I won't be feeling too stressful about the final exam later...

But for those who know what I mean, just wanna say: "I'm back"!!!

Would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate justin, lim wei and all those whom I know back in Singapore that had applied or already been accepted into SMU. Just wanna wish u guys all the best in commencing your studies in university, and I believed that your future is gonna be bright. But most importantly, do not forget to enjoy your life in university cos it'll only happen once in a lifetime. Cheers!

One More To Go...


It's a relief that I completed my CA exam this afternoon... I started immediately with the business response essay when the exam commenced, and I think I managed to nail it... However there were uncertainties with the multiple choice questions as I wasn't left with much time to answer the last 10 out of 40 questions, and so had to guess most of them. Hopefully I can get a pass when marks for both sections are added together...

One more exam to go for Managing Changes on next Tuesday. *Sighz*, headache!!!

Not Too Bad


I'm finally done with the oral presentation for Company Accounting (CA) today... didn't really nail it as my tutor commented that I had relied a little too much on reading my notes during the presentation, and for that I was being penalised slightly. Despite that I still managed to get 4.6 out of 6% which I think it's not too bad afterall...

But the real test for CA will come in this Sat mid-semester exam, which is worth 28% of the overall unit. There'll be 40 multiple choice questions (each worth 1/2 mark) plus a long essay which is worth 8 marks. Thank God that the essay topic will be posted on the Online-Learning Site tomorrow, which means that we'll be able to prepare the structure of essay in advance. Now I'm just hoping that the MCQ won't be too tricky...

Gotta' burn midnight oil again tonight...

Busy April


Exam, exam, exam

One down after yesterday and two more on the way. The both that are coming this saturday and next tuesday are "killers" subjects. Seems like I have already lost half the battle. But no, I need to get my motivation back to keep fighting... 8oI

Assignment, assignment, assignment

That's what will be happening next after my last mid-semester exam. Three reports to submit. One of them which is a group report is a "huge" one that takes up 30% of the whole unit, and 25 references are needed for citation in the report. It may sounds easy to many people but how the he** are we going to piece up a report about changing management using 25 different references is gonna be a BIG question...

Just to mention here also that I was reading the blog of someone awhile ago, whereby she mentioned her dad kind of complaint that she was stingy in giving allowance for the family. But mind you, she is actually giving half of her pay (which is at least $500) every month, which I personally feel it's alot. Sometimes I just don't understand why some people are so money-minded, even to their own children. Recently an incident was reported that an elderly woman had gone to the extent of charging her two daughters rent payment if they wish to stay in her house, which partly belongs to the two daughters as well. If the dignity and virtue of a family can be determined by money, then I think life has really become meaningless...

Night Owl


I woke up at noon again today. I have somehow become a "night" person during this term break, getting to bed only at around 3 to 4 am everyday. Apparently my brain only started to become active at 12 midnight, when I'll then pick up my notes to study for my mid-semester exams that begin next week. I believed the same thing will happen again tonight, but I think I really need to adjust my sleeping hours, or else I'll be having trouble to arrive on time for classes next week...

I decided to delete the game puzzle bubble 2 from my computer. It was so annoying as I have been losing my games against the computer. Perhaps it'll better without the game so that I don't have to keep playing it...

My neighbour made "kung pow" chicken for dinner just awhile ago. I gave it a rating 8 out of 10 as I felt it wasn't spicy enough, but overall it was still good. We are planning to cook "yang chow" fried rice tomorrow...
