read today's Today. inside got a stupid article on the singaporean party. inside, it says that there is this forum set up in ivle (NUS) for, or by, the political science students. this forum is mainly regarding the coming GE. so, other than the political science students, there involves some representatives from PAP and the Opposition Party.
at first, questions, remarks, rebuttals blah blah blah shoots everywhere. then, some joker, mentioned that he hates the policy upheld by Media Development Authority's (MDA) to only allow students to borrow movies from NUS library that pertains to certain courses/modules. some others suggested to him to write in to the media.
the outcome? both the PAP and Opposition representatives chased to help that joker, saying that they are willing to write in on behalf of him.....
what a joke. they are really desperate for votes siah....
" At one point, the jostling for support took a humourous turn as one student complained about the Media Development Authority’s (MDA) decision to only allow students to borrow movies that pertain to their course of study from the NUS library. While another speaker on the panel, former NUS political science graduate Cherie Lim, suggested that he write to the media, Mr Chia recommended that he bring it up with the Opposition MPs, following which Ms Rajah said she could write to the MDA on his behalf.

i dunnoe about u all... but i find this very funny.
as a side note, we've got 3, or rather, 4 new members to Consonance! Woohoo~~~
fna 2002, managerial accounting, is really not a very difficult module.
however, it turns out that only during the time when i have to go up and present the tutorial, it became difficult. the topic for this tutorial, tomorrow, is on flexible budgeting and overhead variances. all in all, the whole thing doesn't fit too well in my mind. couldn't really quite understand the logic. i've learnt many costing methods in managerial accouting, but this standard costing is a little weird... and the overhead allocation doesn't seem to differ to greatly from the normal costing for overhead.
thatz why, i kinda struggled to do this tutorial. some of the questions are not even taught in lecture, nor in the textbook. the bugger (author) had the cheek to mention in the question that "this is not covered in the textbook. However...... (and the question continues)". then i have to think until siao lor....
other questions are covered, but the phrasing is ambiguous. half the time i have to guess what exactly it is asking. question too long (it tells a story first before asking a question), ambiguous terms, or same term but the textbook gives different definition to the term at different page. blur....
now that the presentation slides have been sent to the lecturer, there is no return. hahaha.... juz have to see if i made my "guesses" intellectually enough....
sickening.... why i so unlucky? why i dun get to present when i feel the tutorial questions are easier?
but alas! one good thing... no, two good things happened to me today. one of them is, i will soon be $700 richer! i love elections. the other thing is..... next time lah!
this week, i've watched 2 shows. V for vedentta and Russian dolls.
V for Vedentta actually quite a weird show.... quite alternative actually. err.... dunnoe whether i like the show or not. there are quite a few parts which i like a lot... but for some others, itz quite draggy. itz a 2 hrs show but it seems very very very long. also, got quite a few characters very meaningless. i think it will be better if this is a longer drama... than a movie. 2 hrs too short i think, to do the show justice.
Russian dolls.... even more alternative. a french show. very weird... and messy. but overall, quite interesting. some nice camera angles, witty scenes. quite interesting. but i dun recommend most pple to watch cos i think they wun like it. it doesn't have much actions. it talks abt a person's life mostly. about all the contradictions in his life and his love life etc. and finally how he comes to terms with most of his problems and complications and confusions.
anyway, this week is a little bit cocked up. tutorial presentation got guai lan kia. i think i will be more guai lan next week if he continues that sort of fucked up attitude. i will see who dares to play punk more with each other.
also got irritated by some other academic stuffs.... maybe i shouldn't try to improve on anything afterall. anyway, spend so much time trying to improve things oso lidat. in the end, i wun be affected much. it is other people's honours that will be affected. not mine. my cap drop, their cap oso drop. their cap drops, they fall out of honours. my cap drops, i still first class. no point. in the end kanna insinuate during class. chee bye.
've not been able to wake up these few mornings. in the end, spent $30 in 2 days on cab fare from my home to nus.... sibei heong. today oso took cab to orchard to meet jiayin they all from ben's hse. took cab from orchard back home again... hahahahah....
finally, okay. zhengchang, i've updated. i did see your msg on that already dusty shoutbox. i think i saw it 2-3 days ago. i wanted to update then... but somehow cannot log in to blogger so i din. that time i got more things i wanted to write i think... now i forgot. memory not good. btw, i m surprised why my shoutbox isn't suspended yet. normally shoutbox if never use much, will get suspended one...
at phillip..... not really a bad choice. I will be in the Purchasing Department, so i guessed it sort of goes in line with the fact that they wanted someone whom has some Supply Chain background. i dunnoe what that single module can do though.
S$800/mth. 12 weeks. will make me $2400 richer after the holiday. Plus the army 1 week reservist plus IPPT rewards, that makes at least another $300. so i will be $2.7K richer after the hols. probably can save around $1K bah... plus my own savings, so even if i din manage to get another scholarship award... i guess i can still support myself for the next year bah.
phew... managed to pull through without much support from family eventually.
1) i missed my show. that was the final episode. 2) the fucking workload is coming in... and i've realised i m too slack and not really catching up. however, i am still slacking and not willing to catch up. this kinda discrepancy irritates me cos it is putting tension on the already strained me. 3) i m not born to take up the shit others left behind. 4) my HR project seemingly is like a piece of shit. hand that up, and all 5 of us probably are going to be goners. 5) i m not born to make all decisions, take up full responsibility for project and workload, or to make people happy. so what if my cap is high? that doesn't mean a shit. i hate to be taken for granted, or to be used. dun expect too much from me and that's an ultimatum. i will fulfil my responsibility but that is not the whole project. 6) i've missed many movies cos lack of time due to many things to do, and i not doing them. i've not watched brokeback mountain, munich, and final destination 3. 7) busybody irritates me. dun like kiasi and kiasu people. 8) i hate parrots, posers, "kings" and etc. if u are not that good, dun act like you are. 9) i hate people who thinks i m joking when i am muthafucking serious. when i said i dun think i do well, i meant it. when i said i dun understand a shit, i meant it. when i said i m stressed or i dun deserved a certain grade, i meant it. when i said high cap doesn't mean high calibre, i meant it. if in the end i did better than what i expected, dun come telling me "aiyah u always said that, in the end oso do so well. i dun believe u anymore." if thatz the case, dun come asking me questions or complaining to me either. and, if i've done well in the end, it doesn't mean i know my stuffs or i m clever. why dun u consider that it might simply means u are stupid, and simply really clueless about the module? 10) when i say i dunnoe, it is either i really dunnoe or i m not sure if my understanding is correct or not. there is no point for me trying to crap something up to humor you. like i said, i m not born to make u happy. dun come and give me the look like i m not willing to share and being fucking selfish. once i see that, even if i noe i wun fucking tell u. of cos, that brings me to a third possibility. if i dun share, it might simply mean i really dun like you. in all 3 senses, it will be better for you to juz go away.
last point for the day
11) when i say i dun want to do something, i mean i dun want to do something. i dun fucking owe u a living or explanation. i m not your slave or anything. i might not even consider myself as a friend of yours. if i've responded to your plea or helped u before, take it and feel grateful or heng or lucky or watever. if i dun respond, take it the same way too.
these are juz a few things that i've been irritated with for the past week, or past few weeks, or long ago but i still remember. some of the points are written with a few individual or a few groups of people in mind. some are written in a general direction. some are very irritating while some are close to inconsequantial to me.
i think i seldom write such stuffs like above. normally i juz keep it to myself or randomly tells a few person.
watever it is, maybe it is good to let others know what a muthafucker person i m too.
juz went through what i need to do and i got a slight shock.
finance - 2 sets of notes, 2 chapters of textbooks, 2 tutorials to be done, 1 quiz and 1 presentation ppt QE - 4 sets of notes, 1 overdued tutorial, 1 project, 1 chapter of textbook OR - 1 set of notes, 1 chapter of txtbk (probably wun read), 1 tutorial managerial accouting - 3 chapters of textbook, 1 set of notes, 1 tutorial HR - 3 sets of readings, 1 project living with maths - 2 chapters of textbooks and 3 webcasts
not very little eh... except for the 2 projects and OR tutorial, all of the above are either already dued or will be due by end of next week
next week, i shall spend most of my time in HR project since it will be dued soon. the rest of the tutorials can be done quickly. textbook chapters are sickening but those can wait... but still got settle a few of them to prevent overaccumulation.
i think i shall leave QE to die first.... OR not too bad oso so that can wait till the end of next week then settle. okay lah! next week shld try to piah a little... this week i did too little things liaoz. yesterday went out, today came home immediately after school. end up doing nothing.
phew... heng not many cock ups during my presentation today. din spend a lot of time preparing for it. started writing the script at 10+pm yesterday night, and then stopped at 11 to watch tv shows. but i guessed i did spend some time here and there rehearsing and imagining in my mind how i shld go about starting and doing the presentation. i guessed developing a self by rehearsing through imagination really does help, as mentioned in my HR readings. hahaha~~~
anyway, the presentation does seem pretty well received. at least the direct feedback from the audience while i m presenting is good. can see pple smiling, laughing and listening. think this approach to class presentation seems fine. shall make a mental note on my methodology of preparing presentation.
this week has a lot of good news. 45/50 for managerial accounting, 94/100 for living with maths, did well for presentation, and all my tests are over. shiok man! can relax relax a bit liaoz.
45/50.... for one night's effort, should be decent lah huh? i m satisfied with such a results for a 4-5 hrs of revision.
but after the test i knew i wun do too badly for this test lah. mcqs, and not very difficult oso. the lecturer even friendly until he repeated questions from previous midterm. when i started doing the paper, i tot he uploaded this sem's midterm mistakenly man!
anyway, saw xiaoping today. she says she will probably joins consonance as a registered member! hurray! but not so confirmed for this coming concert. aiyah, at least she is in for the registration. better than nothing.
last monday was a happy monday. today less happy. haiiz.... i wonder whether if i will hit the chance next monday.
anyway, itz week 8 already! so fast... think it is about time to buck up a little bit oso, although i m not exactly very behind time. i think only QE II i m a bit behind in terms of reading the notes. HR is the only imminent danger though.
and, i haven't gotten the results of my VIP registration. many of my friends already get rejected liaoz. so, i think no news means good news, at least thus far. still have the chance. hopefully can get it. teckyeow oso applied for phillip. if he gets it, then at least both of us can work together there. not so boring then.
in the end, the tests turns out alright. both the biz modules tests seems quite okay after the papers, but OR is confirm quite a goner. now i think i shld juz hope for a 20/35. sibei jiat lat. but thatz what happens when u pay juz that amount of effort.
tml still have to go back to school for HR project. sickening. next week oso got HR personal presentation to do. haven't prepare yet. next week is another sickening week.
there is one thing i juz like to say it out. it is so damn irritating, when u see one fucker blocking the whole of the bus passengers to move further in. what happens in the end? the front of the bus get fucking crowded, when one mother fucker happily stand here, oblivious of what is happening, enjoying tremendous amount of space. i wonder sometimes, are they plain oblivious of their surroundings, or juz plain fucking selfish. i hate these kinda pple. next time, i think i should take a picture of them, and circulate them online with a spam (chain) mail. let the whole of singapore know this people.
really very du lan one leh. imagine urself at the bus stop and hailed for a bus. then, u cannot get up into the bus cos it seems crowded. when the bus zoomed u by, u realised, there are so much space at the back of the bus! how would u like it?
i hope those space hogger always kanna this kinda situations everytime they want to board a bus man.
and no, i din kanna that today. cos i m not one of those fuckers. but i saw one idiot stand in the middle there like a buddha today.
wah seh... i have a bad feeling for all my midterm tests this sem man... i think it will be the worse of all times. hahaha.... today's HR test was one hell damn difficult. sibei jiat lat. even the lecturer told us we got the worst question out of all the other classes... Peggy out to kill siah.
45 mins how to link?
the question goes smthing like this "Effective self-presentation is more and more important in a globalised economy. Discuss on how effective self-presentation plays a key part in managing diversity in today's world."
not word by word but it is something along this line. wah lan... when i saw it i totally blur diaoz.
firstly, i din study much for this test. practically only one day yesterday cos on tuesday i quite sianz after OR test. a bit drained and tired so cannot absorb. secondly, i cannot bring in much of the theoretical discussion on simply self presentation and diversity only. sianz... but bo bian. i've done my best. i dun think others in the class did that well either. hahahaha.... nus is like that one. u dun need to do well. u juz need to do better than others can liaoz.
tml's managerial accounting test. sibei hong gan. i've only finished reading 2 lecture notes so far. and i did that on the bus when i m going home. this is not a tough module... but it is closed book examination. the shit is, they ask a lot of stuffs on definitions and crap which if u never study, u bound to get the wrong answer, even if it is MCQ test. i attempted half of the previous year's midterm, and i stopped cos i realised i cannot juz whack lidat. really need to read through the definitions again and stuffs.
regret spending those time reading for HR tests.... i think i can do almost as much even if i never read for the test...
now i m stucked in managerial accounting. and what's worse? i still got finance test on sat. 4 tests in a week really sianz siah. and my slacking attitude can only make things worse.... and worse is an understatement.
i've planned to finish reading all my lecture notes by 8pm. now it is 8pm. and i've not touched the last 2 sets at all yet.
