ahahs. no, i've no intention of dumping this land.
exams are finally over!
and there's so many things to do, catch up, reflect upon, look forward to yaddahdahdah.
ok.
i dun where to begin.
but my life's not totally disconnected from this internet world la. actually, its also partially the accessibility i have to fb and twitter via my phone that reduces the content for me i have to blog.
usually, i blog probably abt almost every interesting thing of the day. but now, its like.. i either tweet or fb it.
so when it comes to blogging, i dun wanna like.. repeat myself coz i'm not as excited alrdy. hahas.
no, not an excuse.
just maybe a probable trend.
oh wells.
EXAMS.
hahas.
ok, i really must say, given the amt of time i had set aside for myself to study, i have really studied hard.
been gg macs from abt 1pm -11pm everyday.
and because of my injury, i can't go trng even if i wanted to. so it was abt 4wks with no form of sports or whatsoeva. macs day in day out, and yea, i've gained weight. and my fitness, nonetheless, has plumaged deeply.
onto the exams, first paper... finance.
i think among the 5 papers, this is the worst. its actually a subject that i enjoyed the most. however, because i was worried for other subjects, i devoted less time to this. paper on monday, and i started only on wed. for thurs-sat, i mugged my ass off. really burnt and didn't even play itouch games alot. played abit to relieve some stress, not alot.
but however, i lackked one more day of practice. i understood most of the concepts but just lack the practice. i scared myself with the tough tutorial questions when if i had just focused on the superduper easy specimen (which turned out to be 80% same as the real exam), i would have done better.
so for that paper, i dun think i'd pass. that's honest.
if i really pass, i really must thank God, start gg church and all arlddyy. hahas.
i'm prepared to redo that module next yr, thus, i'm not making any drastic changes to my future planning.
Buyer Behaviour.
is a repeat module.
hahas. still cannot believe that i actually failed a module 2 sems back and thus gotta retake this.
i started studying seriously for this only after mon's finance paper; on tues, and then wed's the paper.
quite good. infact, very confident. mcq, sure 18/20. its like, i even know where to find the ans from.. like which part of the textbk and all.
but for the section b, didn't quite do very well. 3 questions, 14m each, got 1 marjorly wrong coz i didn't really focus on the back chpts. dammit. but i am sure that it's a passable.
then global marketing.
same, started seriously only after BB's paper. didn't do lotsa required research for the exams.. just koped sufficient amts of examples from TP's gm textbk. (: but thankfully, i studied smart and i think i can score for the paper. its quite hard to say actually because of the format of the exam. 14m x 3 essays. anything can go wrong.
the questions are so generic. u can choose to say anything or not. saying more that what the question wants might seem to be out of point or, just trying to begg for more marking points from the markers which might actually work.
i dont do the latter, but i dont really have strong concrete argument points to ans the questions directly anyways.
the next week, Strategic marketing.
because i did badly for the class test, i wanted to redeem myself through the exams, so, i studied so early before that. it was a wed paper, so we had like abt 5 days to study for it.
the paper was tough and it killed everyone.
there were lotsa concepts to memorize and they were not easy to understand. the paper pulled concepts from across topics and asked us to implement strategies to suit the different type of markets per se.
but i think i was quite happy for the paper. there was one particular concept that had 4 pts to rmbr, and lou and i were making fun of it before the paper and it really did come out. ahhahs. (: cheers to us ya. hahas.
ok. i secretly like tough questions. i'm more of an analytical person. if u ask me to regurgitate out txtbk stuff during the exam, i can't do well and scholars will score like mad.
so i secretly like tough papers; it sets ppl apart.
then yes, last paper, the very next day, Sales Comms.
hahas. totally. EASY PEASY.
the specimen paper was THE SAME. the case was the same. one of the questions was exactly the same. and basically, we're actually told how to prepare and what to expect. so when it was reading time, i didn't border to read the case study, AT ALL. hahas. never in my life (or will in the future) will anyone not read the case study during the main exam. hahas.
so yes, SURE D or HD. i screwed my class test, so according to ju, to get HD, i literally need to get 50/50 for the test. HAHAs. so i'm aiming for D. then again, easy paper, less differentiated, bell-curve harder to define.. so gotta be really smart to do well for this.
so that's it. ORD LOH.
that's the end of my 1.5 yrs of SIM.
graduation in aug 2011 that's for sure (i hope. even if i fail finance, there should be a module in the jan-june sem).
(:
so.
next day, it was a friday. Deepavali.
thurs night, the friends play majong all the way till 6am while i just nua around with amanda.
reached home at 615an. quickly bathed. slept till 7.30am, and heroically went to work at 8am, Siglap macs. feels gd to work again. the knowledge that $$ will be gg into ur bank acc.
but yea. bad thing happened.
it was raining heavily at 9am till abt 10am. so orders got cancelled. sad coz it was the $2 per trip docket timing. ):
so it resumed. abt afternoon, it was still drizzling.
so was returning from marine parade, entering a slight left turn into the slip road into siglap rd.
omgs. pedastrain crossing.. this security guard on the bike.. want-to-cross-dun-want-to-cross.
he stopped and looked at me so i thought he let me go. so i speed up to go. then he go. tmd.
so i jammed brake, in full knowledge not to jammed it but to tap the front and use more of the rear brake.
but coz i was quite fast, i didn't have time to change down the gear. i clutched in an attempt to so do, only to realize that i had to brake more instantaneously which caused my biked to skidd.
ya. but ok. i admit i'm at fault. no matter what, pedestrain crossing, i should just stop. period.
ok la. from the look of it, it was quite bad. coz the whole bike literally skidded and collapse on me. hahahs. my right foot got caught under it. the uncle tried to help, but he didn't know what to do. just then, a very nice malay pizza delivery stopped to help me.
so nice. he was damn calm and experience (though he looked much younger than me). he got off his bike immediately, w/o even switching off his engine, lifted my bike very experienced-ly and pushed it to the pavement and put it on main stand while the uncle tried to help me up.
he helped me check my bike and all, kicked start my bike and so on. he told me that my bike was out of alignment then gave nice smile, and told me to be safe and then rode off.
HOW NICE CAN.
totally the modern type of white horse prince (directly translated from chinese).
yea. so throughout the whole thing, i was quite amazed that i was quite calm. more embarrassed than anything. hahas.
i think coz i skidd /fall off so many times that it's ok. but yea, was alittle shaken by it.
i tried to ride, but realized the alignment was totally off.. so i stopped by the side abt 7m to slow down my mental self.
and THANK GOD TTM, 2 of my collegues happen to ride by. HOW NICE GOD CAN BE RIGHTTT.
happen to ride by u know! it doesn't happen THAT often.
so yea, they helped me further check it, gave me a few encouragements and then asked me to slowly ride back to the hub to check for me.
thankfully, it was less than a km straight road more to siglap macs.
made it back with ultimate slow speed of 20km/h with a bike that's dangerously out of alignment.
back there, they helped me fix my bike and so on.
so pro.
then they told me to stop delivering for awhile, calm myself down before carrying on.
but what hurt me more was the scratch on my bike.
so jia lat can.
so deep. )):
argh.
not nice arlddy.
the cuts, bruises and abrasions are just like rugby wounds.
make no difference actually. but thank God that the mac uniform was long sleeves and long pants. so it kinda reduce the abrasions. so was normal la. just like had to stop the pus from coming off. it was pus-ing ALOT. so much that i had to go guardian to buy a special plaster for it.
so ya. that was my day.
went down to bedok macs to catch up with the riders over there.
told them abt my incident. got lotsa tips.
do-you-know-facts:
1) self ski (like mine)... if TP come, will kena 6 demerit points?! so that's why the pizza guy immediately helped me to push my bike out of the road and make it look is it nothing happened.
2) they checked my rear tyres and got shocked coz it was botak! it TP see.. 3 demerit points!
yea. ahhas.
didn't realized that the grooves of my rear tyres were totally buanggg.
so. TMR. i am gg to change it alrdy.
wanted to change last time when i felll at the void deck, also while delivering.
its goonna cost me abt $180. but heck it. i'm gg to pay that kind of money.
goona get Battlax tyres. 70/80, 80/90. front and rear.
changing spark-plug, air-filter and engine oil. do it all at one shot.
so yea. tired.
fri night slp was so well-deserving. from all the studying and immediate epic work day.
sat morn.... WTL.
it's like a month that i'm MIA from the rugby/touch scene. not to mention the bowling scene. but whatever. ahhas.
and OMG. i ALMOST DIEED.
40mins game la. 1 attack, 1 defence and i was OUT OF BREATH. ahhas.
soooo bad. the sun wasn't that killer hot. but i was very very out of breath.
i need to train up my fitness man.
its like.. press start button but the engine cannot start.
after that, collect race pack for salmon's trail run. next wk, at macritchie. 12km. quite scared coz i dun think at my fitness level now, i can pass 2km. i needa train this wk, but i've been really caught up with many things. and the rain keeps pouring at nighhtt.
so finally.
TODAY. SUNDAY.
SCC 7s at the padang. no really so much as to want to watch rugby rugby. but more of to see the girls! (: so happy to see them after being MIA.
but nonetheless, it was an exciting finals. Penguins vs SA vipers. Penguins won!! vipers scored to equalize at the final whistle. sudden death. then quite change over in penguin's favour then they won! everyone's like cheering for them. ahhas. i think they're the underdogs or smth.
u16. greenridge and acsi. hahs. as usual, acsi.. no comments.
but greenridge fought hard man. really encouraging to see the boys not giving up at all cost and really fighting their way through.
ok. just then, i missed u. i rmbr SA winning the John Clark Trophy in 2005 man.
OH WELLS. its time i should get gd slp now.
tmr long day.
physio. ahboy. ubi. trng.
oh yea. last episode of the fireman show. damn epic. but i like. hahas. (:
