short update

Exam fever... Omg, i can feel my cripsy bones gonna fall apart soon. Everyday what I do is to sit and study. Of course, food is never out of my sight. A big container of fruits and raw vegetables is the only possible food i could bring to the library because I don't want to be the evil one that makes all others hungry by spreading the aroma around library. Besides, I don't have time to really cook yummy food.So, to compromise, eat fruits and vegetables. But they are really not filling at all. I have been eating since 4pm today until now 9pm, I still can fill up my tummy. There must be a black hole in my tummy.

Rawr... Exam exam exam.
Sorry, no facebook access at the moment.  Long story but in short, see you facebook after 23rd of this month. I should quickly head back to study because my friend beside me is so hardworking. She was here since this morning. HAHAHAHAHAHA...

Long updates

Exams coming soon.... pimples growing on my face, laundry piling up in my room, papers full of scribbles and lecture notes laying around in every corner of my room, students mushrooming in the library, time is running out.

Somehow, this semester, I will have to pass my exams because I want to GRADUATE. Oh my goodness, after 4 years of tiring university life, this morning I received my conditional graduation letter. FINALLY FINALLY... I'm happy, how about you?

So, let's just leave the happy part... let's go to the upset and cranky part of the day.

After for such a long time, I finally went to the staff meeting for once. It's really not my problem because I usually have classes when they have staff meeting. Ok, so what made me so upset is the fact that permanent staffs at my working place claimed that casual workers are lazy bugs.According to them, casual workers are just uni student that don't give a shit to their work and get a higher pay as compared to those permanent ones. I seriously think that is such a heavy accuse to other casual staffs at my workplace. From my observation, casual staffs are those that are working really hard to either keep the kids happy and do the cleaning up. I wouldn't deny that one or two casuals are pretty 'chill' but they don't represent the whole population of casuals.

On the other hand, I can only think one permanent who is leaving today is hardworking, others are just !@#$$% (self explanatory). Most of the time I will see and hear them in the office or in the kitchen chit chatting or bitching about others. They talk about how they break up and make up with their boyfriend, what for dinner plans... etc. When you are good friends to the directors, this does not mean you have more rights to complain and not do work. Damm shit...

Besides, the permanents claimed that they are the ones that are always doing the cleaning up. Do you know why? This is because casuals are always the ones who are always asked to go outside to play with kids or handle those disabled kids. How is it possible when we are outside playing with kids and at the same time do cleaning? Why not let's make it this way, casuals do all the work and permanents just sit there and get paid? How does it sound? Maybe this would make them complain less to the directors and whinging in the staff meeting. Sorry, I am just being sarcastic =)

The last thing that I am cranky about is the directors are very angry with staff's dressings. HAHAHA... seriously, I know this is really NONE OF MY BUSINESS, because I would say I dress most appropriately at work. Always in my jumper, jeans and sneakers. How can this go wrong when you have to work with kids? But the problem is the director's friends who work there are the ones that never dress properly. Can you imagine if you have a kid and you send your kid to some sort of childcare but the childcare workers are wearing short fluffy skirts like Sailormoon and some transparent tops which bras can be see throughly? Dad would be happy but I'm not very sure about mum. HAHAHAHAHA. That's what they wear at work. =)
Will I be expecting bikinis during summer? I don't mind entertaining myself with some hot ladies working with me. We'll wait and see.

At the meantime, I really think my work place's politic has gone more complicated than I thought it would be. Most staffs are friends of friends. Where do I stand?

Enough of procrastination. Back to work.

*Hopefully next time when I attend staff meeting, I wouldn't hear those harsh accusation and impolite wording. My director is a very nice person =)

Another movie day and get touched from Brother Bear


OMG... I shed my tears today at work because I watched Brother Bear.

Sourced from Wikipedia (quite a good summary of the story):

The film is set in a post-ice age North America, where the local tribesmen believe all creatures are created through the Spirits, who are said to appear in the form of an aurora. Three brothers, Kenai (voiced by Joaquin Phoenix), Denahi (voiced by Jason Raize) and Sitka (voiced by D.B. Sweeney), return to their tribe in order for Kenai to receive his sacred totem, its meaning being what he must achieve to call himself a man. Unlike Sitka, who gained the eagle of guidance, and Denahi who gained the wolf of wisdom, Kenai receives the bear of love, much to his objections, stating that bears are thieves. His point is made a fact when a bear steals some salmon. Kenai and his brothers pursue the bear, but a fight follows on a glacier, Sitka giving his life to save his brothers, although the bear survives. Vengeful, Kenai heads out to avenge Sitka. He chases the bear up onto a mountain and kills it. The Spirits, represented by Sitka's spirit in the form of a bald eagle transforms Kenai into a bear after the dead bear's body disappears. Denahi arrives, mistaking Kenai for dead, and his bear form is responsible for it, vows to avenge Kenai.
Kenai falls down some river rapids, survives, and is healed by Tanana (voiced by Joan Copeland), the shaman of Kenai's tribe. She does not speak the bear language, but advises him to return to the mountain to find Sitka and be turned back to normal, but only when he corrects what he had done; she quickly disappears without an explanation. Kenai quickly discovers the wildlife can talk, meeting two brother mooses, Rutt and Tuke (voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas). He gets caught in a trap, but is freed by a chatty bear cub named Koda (voiced by Jeremy Suarez). The two bears make a deal, Kenai will go with Koda to a nearby salmon run and then the cub will lead Kenai to the mountain. As the two eventually form a sibling-like bond, Koda reveals that his mother is missing. The two are hunted by Denahi who fails multiple times to kill Kenai, still unaware that he is his brother. Rutt and Tuke run into the bears multiple times, the group hitching a ride on a herd of mammoths to quicken the pace to the salmon run, but the moose are left behind when the bears move on. Kenai and Koda escape Denahi again, and reach the salmon run, where a large number of bears live as a family, including the leader Tug (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan), a Grizzly Bear. Kenai becomes very much at home and at content with the other bears. During a discussion among the bears, Koda tells a story about his mother fighting human hunters, making Kenai realize that the bear he killed was Koda's mother.
Kenai's contentment is about to be shattered when Koda tells the story of his separation from his mother
Guilty and horrified, Kenai runs away but Koda soon finds him. Kenai reveals the truth to Koda, who runs away grief-stricken. An apologetic Kenai leaves to reach the mountain. Rutt and Tuke, having fallen out, reform their brotherhood in front of Koda, prompting him to go after Kenai. Denahi confronts Kenai on the mountain, but their fight is intervened by Koda who steals Denahi's hunting pike. Kenai goes to Koda's aid out of love, prompting Sitka to appear and turn him back into a human, much to Denahi and Koda's surprise. However, Kenai asks Sitka to transform him back into a bear so he can stay with Koda. Sitka complies, and Koda is reunited briefly with the spirit of his mother, before she and Sitka return to the Spirits. In the end, Kenai lives with the rest of the bears and gains his title as a man, through being a bear.


Kenai
Koda (very bubbly and talkative little bear)

The song is also quite nice: On my way by Phil Collins
The original sound track on the DVD sounds better than this one, where i found it on youtube


After we watched Brother Bear, we went on watching Finding Nemo, then An Ant's Life. I didn't really like Finding Nemo although the children love it. =) 

What else can I complain about work when you get to have your childhood back once in a while?

Answer like no answer

What kind of answer is this? I only ask whether we need to include explanation of benefits for profit seeking firms but this is what the lecturer reply!!


'This would depend on how you structure your essay. I cannot provide an answer as, at this point, I do not know how you have structured or framed your arguments in your essay. The important issue here is to make your case.You need to give careful consideration to the core issues in your essay and ensure that you communicate clearly and effectively. Give careful attention to how you construct your arguments. Making such decisions, whether to include or exclude something, is part of the process of constructing and writing your essay.'

Yes is yes, no is no... Sienz!!

A day full of cartoons

Have you ever watch three cartoons in a day? HAHAHA... I watched 3 cartoons today at work, which are some bee show, scooby doo and some a bucket full of dinasour show. I couldn't remember all the cartoon names because I have to remember more than 20 kid's name. Too much things to handle in a day. Oh wells, my full day shift ended finally, from 9am-6pm. Phew, thankfully there wasn't any big accidents happened or else I won't know what to do as my manager was away and the room leader went on a holiday to Singapore.

I just realize that I missed quite a bit of my childhood. I am watching all the cartoons which I have never watched before. Quite cool isn't it? Gaining back my childhood when I am in University.

Do you know a kid just told me I am skinny? It made me float on cloud nine... I wonder if I am skinny, who else is fat?

So many assignments due, which one should I start first? That's why I am here talking to my little buddy!!

Thursday 13 September 2012

Hello...

I know I know, long time I never update my blog. I have abandoned my little buddy for more than one month. Tsk tsk... Oh wells, please blame the school of accounting, those lecturers and tutors. They expect heaps from us. They think we have 10 brains and 12 hands because assignments flow like the Rajang River, non stop... !@##$%$%^

Oh wells, guess what, I am having my two weeks teaching break!! It is called teaching break for a reason because students are expected to hand in assignments during the break. The break is specially designed for the teaching staff. At least I enjoyed part of it as I am also a teaching staff. hahaha...

Should I cheer for my two weeks break? Half of my break is almost gone... but I can't even feel the holiday atmosphere. Sniff sniff... where is my holiday? My friends around me are all busy with their assessments too... so... it is a fair game. HAHAHA...

Somehow I think  this semester everyone is working so hard. I can't recall in my previous 4 years when I visited the computer lab in Copland around 6pm, the computer lab is still packed with students. Besides, my friend told me, it was packed even at around 11pm. OMG, 11pm.... I am wondering what are those people doing there while they are supposed to be at home at 11pm.

Then, on Monday, which is the first day of holiday, I went to the library to get my assignment done because I have no choice as it is due that day at 5pm, the library was also full of people. I think most of those that were stucked in the library because they are in the same position as I do. Or is it just me being to subjective, they just love STUDYING?? =)

Another reason I can't enjoy my holiday is because I have to work everyday. We had some kind of school care assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday. Alamak, we are observed while we work. There were two old ladies holding their ipad and flip-over files standing there, looking at us and kept on recording. Opppsss... that was scary for me. Are they really writing something or just drawing cartoons on the files? hahah... just joking. Our manager even asked us out to celebrate for the end of assessment. Can you imagine how big deal it is for the center and the manager? Wahahaha... I think we passed the assessment =) Hurray... at least I am still employed casually =)

Assessments oh assessments... bye oh bye...

Joke of the day:
Why did tomatoes blush?
Because tomatoes saw salad dressing =)

Hotpot in Gunghalin

On Tuesday night, we went out for hot pot in Gunghalin. It was buffet style hotpot. It is also some kind of farewell dinner for Claud and Kai because they are leaving on Thursday. 

I think it is worth it to pay around $25 for the food we had. I was so hungry that night because I woke up late and had a sandwich only. I was the last eating survivor that night. =) Ok, I admit I eat heaps. Call me eating monster!! 

I did not take any photos of food because it is just the usual ingredients used in hotpot. Nothing special. But, I shall never forget the group photo. I must force everyone to take the group photo. LOL

1,2,3 snap!!


Anyone wants to have hotpot marathon with me anytime soon? I am looking for eating monster. If you don't eat heaps, forget about it. No fun eating with those who has bird fed tummy. LOL



ANU Graduation Ceremony (11/7/2012 - 13/7/2012)

This is one of the very important and long awaiting moment for most of the university students - GRADUATION. I am so happy on behalf of my friends who graduated this semester and wish them all the best in future. I am looking forward to mine which is hopefully at the end of the year. *Fingers Crossed*

Day 1 - !@#$%^ (Sorry, I don't know which college =P)
Day 2 - College of Business and Economics


Did you notice anyone missing? HAHA. It is Claudyne's partner, Mr Kai. He left before I arrived. The graduation ceremony was supposed to end at 4pm, but it ended at 3.15pm. I guess there were not a lot of people graduating mid year, that's why it ended so soon. Never mind, I'll crop his face and add to this photo.


That's Mr Chua. I never know he is that tall until I looked at this photo. As you can see from the photo, it was raining on that day. Oh god, please don't rain when I graduate.




所谓:一山还有一山高!!Yang is taller than Chua. Muahahaha...


Kah Ho with his BATIK shirt. I completely forgot about the word "BATIK" until Nandha reminded me of it.


They are Singaporeans!! I'm not, that's why I took the photo for them =P


Hui Qing attended the graduation ceremony because her boyfriend won some kind of award for Economics. Smart hey. Another reason she was in Canberra is to say good bye to us because she is leaving for good, back to Malaysia by the end of this month. See ya my dearie..

Good reason to sit down and have dinner together, good companion, but not so good food. 

Day 3 - College of Science and College of Arts 



Finally, Jack can leave ANU and head to a university in Netherlands (Sorry, i can't remember the name of the university). LOL. His ambition is to go to Oxford. Once I thought of that too, but now, I am too old for big dreams. Maybe i'll change my mind in the future, but for now, I just want to start my career after my undergraduate life. My parents would have to declare bankruptcy if I continue to study.

Nandha, the panda.


One big group photo although I don't really know most of the people. I know them but in my definition, "KNOW" means someone I can share things with, not just "hi-bye" friends. So, basically, the number of people I know now in Canberra can be counted using my fingers and toes, especially after the graduation ceremony. Sigh, What a big failure =(


Karen, her surname is also LIM. We were in the same batch coming to ANU, but now, she graduated, me... hopeless.  


Can you see the long path behind us? That's the university avenue that I have to walk through everyday to go to my school. Heaps of walking. I just realized I've never take photos along the university avenue. One day, I'll do that. 


Finally, Tiffany graduated too!! Due to her leaving, it means that I am losing my Hancock buddy. I remember her carrying her snack bag and kept eating in the library, sushi, apples, chocolates, chips, biscuits... etc. Also, she always buy things from the vending machine. Most of the time, she will buy chips from the vending machine outside Hancock when we leave the library. Lots of memory with her!! <3

Fire Drill BILA?

I thought fire drill was last night, but obviously it was not. Isn't it always on Wednesday during the Orientation Week? Please don't let it be next week when uni starts.

When? When? When? I want to get prepared because I don't want to stand in the cold shivering early in the morning. Rawrrrr....

Winter holidays 2012

Last Monday and Wednesday, I went to the same place for dinner but with different groups of people. It is a bit amazing that I visited Arirang for dinner twice in a week. 

On Monday, I went with Sophie and her friend (Opppsss... Can't remember her name). 

It is Kim Chi Hot Pot, Yummmmssss, mild spicy and very 有料!!It contains kim chi, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, pork belly slices with egg, tofu, Korean dumplings and some kind of vegetables. But it is a bit expensive, $40, but still acceptable because it is tastiLICOUS =) 

The picture above shows the side dishes provided and my bowl of rice. The side dishes are of course free but do you know how much the rice cost? It is just a small bowl of rice but it cost $2.50 (Around RM 8 for just a bowl of rice which doesn't even manage to fill up my tummy). Next time I shall bring my own rice there. =P I love the side dishes, especially the preserved radish, it just makes me mouth water right now!!
 We did order Korean seafood pancake. It tasted good too. Can you imagine a pancake made from a variety of seafood, capsicum, spring onion and onions,and when you eat, you dip it with vinegar and chopped chilli....  SYOK!!


The second time at Arirang. This tims I went there with Jack, Yan Liang, Micheal and Rita. Jack is leaving Canberra for good and heading to Netherlands for Masters (I think, not too sure). Do you think visiting the same place twice a week exaggerating, Jack went there more often than me!!


This is a chicken dish with rice. The chicken was so tender and most important it was not spicy. The sauce matched the chicken well enough.

Instead of kim chi hot pot, we ordered pork big bone hot pot. It contains big bones, potato noodles, potato and spring onion. Sorry to say but i prefer the kim chi hot pot. LOL. This dish is too heavy for me. The soup was too thick and i can only taste spiciness and saltiness in it (Just personal opinion, Jack and Yan Liang love it though)
 
The Korean seafood pancake. It turned me down this time I visit because it is not abundant as compared to my previous visit. I no longer see capsicum and some of the seafood are missing too. HAHAHA. Maybe they are running low with the cooking ingredients. Overall, it is still good.

Does this Squid dish look yummy? A bit sweet and spicy but the squid is a bit rubbery. LOL
Do you see the empty hot pot? We managed to sweep everything into our tummy. It is always a blessings to have hot pot in the winter or in the cold. You just feel warm after the meal.
 After dinner, of course it is time for photos. My dinner buddies for the night. 

Time for group photo. How is it possible that I am missing in the group photo?? LOL
Group photo #1

Group photo #2

Group photo #3

Group photo #4




 Itu Jack kacau-kacau. So, we took another group photo.
Do you think the one in black looks like Detective Conan? LOL

While they settle the bill, I took the opportunity to take photo with Jack. My round round face... =.=''


All the best for Jack in future. Please don't work too hard and take care!! =)


Another random photo:

I am waiting for my lamb forequarter to cook in the oven. I was too bored while waiting =.='' I like lamb forequarter but I know it is bad for health so I try to only have it once in a while. I don't want my cholesterol level to sky rocket over the holiday. Hahahaha.


Gloomy rainy day

Yesterday, my friend told me it was going to rain for the remaining week according to the weather forecast. Today, I woke up and it was raining =(

Will it be raining for the whole week? I don't like to go out when it is raining. I can't go for my run, I can't do my laundry, I don't like to walk to the kitchen in the rain....

Raining just makes me to have extra excuse to stay in bed for the whole day, having a cup of hot tea while reading a book. Life is FANTASTIC.

No uni = Good life

Do you agree?

Claudyne's lamp

A few of my friends are leaving ANU soon. It means my circle of friend is getting smaller and smaller. =(

Claudyne is leaving soon so she passed me a few things which I wanted, but she also left me with this.






It is really a nice lamp. The problem is I am not the kind of person that is going to decorate my room. I am lazy =) Where can I put this lamp and what can I do with it? LOL


M&MS

M&Ms, my favourite during study time!! Melt in your mouth, not in your hand =)



Not much left in my container

OMG OMG... 3 left


Ohhhh noooo.... all gone =(

How can I survive without M&MS?

Third Baking in ANU

Time for dessert. But where can you find dessert at night in Canberra? All shops in Canberra closed before night comes =( So, I have to make dessert myself. LOL

Lousy excuse. Actually, I wanted to bake since the beginning of the year but due to my personality, I procrastinated for the whole semester. Bleeeehhhh... At least, I made them on last Tuesday =)) Hurray...


Butter and brown sugar are the basic ingredients for chocolate chips cookies =)
Chocolate chips cookies are always yummy


 CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!


Dough made!!


After being trained for more than 10 years by my mum, at least my cookies looked like cookies =)
I wanted to make them look good because if they were not edible, at least they were presentable =)


TATA... My cookies done after a few hours of hard work!!


Cookies ready to be distributed to all my good friends!! 

Baking is really enjoyable, but the problem is you have to pack up and clean up after baking. Too much work for me. I am lazy. Let's just wait and see when I will bake next time. HAHAHAHAHaaaa...




Monday 25 June 2012

What can I do?

holidays are just awesome.... I can wake up at anytime I want, watch dramas all day, skype with my dear friends, pamper myself with good food...

What can I do this holidays?

I can't be doing all this for the whole months... Let me think about it!! =)


Friday 22 June 2012

Post exam announcement

Hurray, exam ends from this moment onwards. No more exams for at least one month. Although I did not do well for this semester, EVERYTHING IS OVER NOW!! All I do is to pray hard now.

Will update after dinner... Time to dine out!! =)

Saturday 16 June 2012

Die now or die later

40 MCQ and 9 Long problem questions to be done in 3 hours? How to finish like that?
Why ANU's lecturer likes to 把students 逼疯.
shouldn't their duty is to ensure students know the content of the subject instead of making sure student can write very fast?
!@#$#$%$^%$^%^&%&**&


Tallest building in Canberra

Can someone tell me where is the tallest building in Canberra so I can jump off?

I think that is how my brain functions

Your brain has two parts:

the LEFT & the RIGHT.

Your LEFT brain has nothing RIGHT;

Exam period

EXAM is coming soon!!

I am so unprepared for exams. I have been achieving relatively low marks for my accounting assignments as compared to actuarial assignments. What does this mean? How to aim high now?

Back to work!!

Friday 11 May 2012

Bad Friday

Today I am a bad person. I went for consultation for my "hate most" course - corporate strategy and guess what happened?

So, I waited more than 40 minutes for my turn, then there was this group of people just cut the queue. Actually, they made appointment with the tutor by emailing him. But, I did not know about that. I screamed "EXCUSE ME, I WAS HERE FIRST!!" Damm angry that time. If you made an appointment before hand, please inform me, don't just barge in the room. IDIOTS... Actually, if you tell me before hand, I won't be that annoyed. What to add on is, they are noisy INDIANS students. Can they just keep quiet while waiting? In this case, we can wait patiently by doing our own stuffs, like reading our own books. Can't INDIANS students stop talking every time I see them? I met them in the computer lab before I went for consultation. They kept talking BULL SHIT in the computer lab too. ZZZzzZZZzzz....Inconsiderate people. Actually in that group, I also don't like another girl, which is Chinese. LOL. Don't know why, 就是看不顺眼!!I think it is because she is also a noisy person. You know when you start to hate noisy environment, you are AGEING. haha... undeniable, I am.

Haha... After they heard me shouting (Eh, wait, this is my first time I shouted at people in front of tutors or lecturers or even in the school. I was so so so frustrated, I guess), they left the room and mumbled saying that they made an appointment before hand. I didn't care about them, so I went into the room. Obviously, it is so significant that I was mad that time. The tutor freaked out, trying to explain the situation where they had made an appointment. Of course, I responded by saying "What is the point of having consultation when I still have to send an email to see you? It does not make any sense!!"

My tutor tried to calm me down obviously, but failed lar.... He asked me what I did not understand and wanted to ask. I told him I could go home and google search because it is the other group's right to have their time to consult. He tried to explain briefly about it but I was not in the mood to listen at all. I left anyway after 2 minutes. haha. The story is not ending yet.

Being very emotion does not help to correct the situation because I know I still have the whole night to walk through. I recalled my friend, Lynda telling me running helps. So, I went for a run with Huili. She was upset about her exam as well. So, two moody lady went to run around the lake.

The story continues... When I came back and checked email, it came to my surprise that the tutor actually sent me an email to apologize and explained what he thought might be what I wanted to ask. I felt terrible about that because he was not the one that should be blamed on my tantrum. I think I am the one that should be apologizing and I shall not blame anyone in this kind of situation because I did not check what was going on although I really hate those Indians students and the Chinese girl.

What a Friday without work being done!! Thank you Huili for running with me!! =)

Wednesday 9 May 2012

HAppy day!!

Hurray.... I am left with only one team research assignment and one in class tutorial quiz. So damm happy for the day. =) I guess this happiness can only stay for a day and I shall start my team research assignment soon or else I will get very very very stress because it is for CORPORATE STRATEGY. Omg omg... the name of the course has already freaked me out. HAHAHAHA...

I really can't hide my excitement and happiness now. Can you imagine after weeks loaded with all the assignments and exams... and now finally they all became history. How relieved it can be that you don't have to jump down from the bed, realising that it is still 7am, eat junk food everyday, realising more white hair sticking out... lol. I am saying bye bye to all those for the day.

Yup yup, I am going to work later. Work will be fun if I don't have to take care of disabled kids, which means I am not a support worker. LOL. Oh wells, today I am in a good mood, so it doesn't matter. =)

Interesting things of the week:
1. One day, I went out of my room without my glasses on and I met my neighbour. As those who knows me, without glasses, I am partial blind, ermmm... more accurate proportion would be 75% blind. So, my neighbour thought I forgot that I met him before. He said "I AM YOUR NEIGHBOUR!! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT??"

By that time he spoke to me, I did not respond to him because I was just woke up. Haha. After 30 seconds, I replied, telling him "SORRY, I FORGOT MY GLASSES".

Next time when I saw him, he will look at me, actually to examine whether I had my glasses on. So funny when I see his reaction every time I see him again. Cute neighbour.

2. I think I shouldn't write this but I will just briefly share something interesting with my tutoring. So, we had tutorial quiz this week. The question was about OTC, which mean over the counter. However, I have quite a few students, answering the question by mentioning risk of a countries. I failed to teach them properly. =(

OTC = over the counter not over the COUNTRIES. I thought I would never be that creative like them. HAHAHAHA...

More interesting things to be shares if I have time to update. =)

Tuesday 8 May 2012

=()=

Somehow when I see other groups doing their group assignment together in the library, I feel envious. Don't know why ler... Staying in the library doing assignment alone is just so sad.

After tomorrow, then I am done. =)

Monday 7 May 2012

What is done is been done

请不要在鸡蛋里挑骨头!!

你到底要我改几次??Don't be double standard!!

不管怎样,我应该不会再改了!!What is done is been done!! I don't care anymore!!

Saturday 5 May 2012

Anybody out there???

Anyone out there that is free to chat with me now?? I am sick of sitting in front of the computer from morning to night. Group assignment sucks... life even sucks when you have a dodgy computer. My dear lappie crashed when I was half done with my assignment and it is just a disaster when you DID NOT save the things you have done. Aiyooo... what to do... REDO lor...

Finally I finished my assignment for one of the course after spending hours calculating, typing and editing. Seriously, got people say they will edit, what happens is that they send me their original version. What does it mean? I guess I have to ham pa lang pao kao liaw. =)

Well, at least it is done now. HAHA... I seriously think I have changed so much, less complaints and more optimistic (I do still complain... that's my nature...). Is that the real me? Or my nature is being suppressed because of the life I am having now?

老虎,老鼠,傻傻分不清楚!!

Note: Dear laptop, please be nice to me. Please don't die before I graduate!!

Have a good weekends, my dear friends. 

Friday 4 May 2012

weekends = assignment time ??

I think even if I don't tell you guys what I am doing now, you guys can still accurately guess, right right??!!

I have two assignments due next weeks, dammittt... two group assignments! I never find it fascinating to do group assignment, except for last year, where I have to admit I have the most awesome group members. We did our parts individually and deal with difficulties met together. Gosh... I miss that feeling!!

Right Eye Twitching

My right eye has been twitching from yesterday until today. I really can't stand it anymore.

Interestingly I googled for what causes right eye twitching:


Answers obtained from google search:
Right Eye Twitching Causes

It is very common to see people complain of eye twitching and eye spasms. Either the upper eyelid or the lower eyelid is involved in the twitching. The twitches come and go in less than a moment. However, if right eye is twitching continuously then it may be a sign of an eye problem. The eye twitching can continue to a few hours, days and sometimes even weeks. The lower eyelid twitching is known as myokymia in medical terms. Let is see what does right eye twitching indicate according to medical science.

Strain
One of the most common causes of right eye twitches is eye strain. Eyes muscles may strain due to working too hard for a long time. This means starring the computer screen, watching TV, reading in dim light, etc can lead to eye strain. In cases many individual, changes in eyesight may lead to eye strain as it has to try hard to focus on objects. Thus, one may need to get them checked and wear glasses to correct their vision.

NOT THIS!! I had my fabulous nap this afternoon. First time I have my nap after uni started. Although my nap got disturbed once in a while due to the loud singing from Bruce Hall and some messages alert, NAP WAS GOOD. JUST A BIT TOO LONG TO BE CALLED AS 40 WINKS!! =)

Stress
In today's hectic lifestyle, everyone feels stressed out. The body sends different signals to show it is under a lot of stress. One of the signs of stress includes eye twitching. If you do not give your eye muscles rest and strain them continuously, it causes involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscles.
STRESS??!! Probably yes, probably no!! Yes because I need to hand in two assignments next week, where my group members for one of the assignments have yet finish their part. Oh wells, at least I am done with my part after multiple edits and visits to the lecturer's office. I am still working on my other assignments thou. No because it's Thursday and the week is coming to an end...  as if weekend means something to me!! =P
Weekends is really just weekend by its name. Similarly, teaching break is just teaching break for lecturers, not for students. So, weekends is nothing different from weekdays. Only difference is I can wear my pyjamas for the rest of the day and hide in my room. =)
Lack of Sleep
When one does not get enough sleep, the eyes get tired. This tiredness triggers eye spasms that leads to twitches. Therefore, it is important you sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours at night and catch 40 winks during the day, if possible. This will give your eyes some rest and avoid twitches.
Bingo, lack of sleep. This morning I had to wake up as early as 6am because I volunteered in the Science and Engineering Program which was supposed to start at 7am. Nobody arrived until 7.30am. =( 
Suku suku wait in the Sports Hall for half and hour. Grrrrggghhh....
Despite the wrong notice of starting time for this morning, I enjoyed the activities I involved in  - students have to send some secret coding through optic fibre cable and their partners have to solve the mistery given. So exciting right??!! 

Dry Eyes
Aging leads to an eye condition called dry eyes. Also, people who work all day long on computers too tend to suffer from dry eyes. Excessive alcohol consumption, use of antihistamine and antidepressant medications also causes dry eyes. This condition may cause eye twitches. You need to speak to an ophthalmologist for treatment of dry eyes right away.

Dry Eyes...?? Dono ler... Maybe...  before I had my nap, Maybe not... after I had my nap
Gosh, it is twitching again!!

Excessive Caffeine
Drinking excessive caffeine in the blood can trigger eye spasms and twitches. Avoid drinking a lot of tea, coffee, soda and alcohol to avoid eye twitches.

NOooo... coffee... Maybe lemonade that I had during lunch? I dono!! =(
Many times anxiety, phobias, neurological disorders and injuries and emotional stress can cause the eye to twitch. A warm compress and gentle eye message will help get rid of the twitches. Take rest to relax tired eyes and check your eyesight in case of vision problems. Artificial tears may helps cure dry eyes to some extent. If one suffers from right eye twitching continuously, the doctor may recommend Botox injections as a cure.

One may tend to considered right eye twitching superstitions as funny or having entertainment value. But the fact remains that, if you suffer from continuous eye twitches, get serious and speak to an ophthalmologist. You may have an eye problem or neurological disorder that needs treatment. Hope, you have found answers related to your problems from the above paragraphs.

First lock out experience

Gosh... After 3 months staying in BnG, this is my first time being locked out of my room. I went to shower and completely forgot about my key card. After showering, I was looking for my key card, and of course, I couldn't find it. I think I need to start taking Gingko supplements because I kept forgetting things and recalling what I did previously is always a pain in the ass.

I followed some random girl to the kitchen so I could go to the Central block to call the duty SR. HAHA... That  girl must be thinking I am crazy because I had wet and messy hair, very big T-shirt and shorts, and was chasing after her. So embarrassed... Luckily she wasn't my student or my tutor. =)

Well, I can get in Central Block but couldn't get out. Seriously, nobody was around in Central Block. i guess it is because today is Sunday. Student either sleep in or went for church. LOL. Felt so hopeless when I was waiting for an angel to save me from being locked out.

OKOOK.... Now I am back in my comfy little heaven. I shall remember to bring my keys with me next time.
=) Time for assignment!!

HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY EVERYONE!!

Saturday night - assignment night

Priscilla's life is coming to an ojibala phase, eating ojibala food  (junk food, instant noodles, high coffee intake, bread and nutella, anything unless healthy food), do assignment ojibala-ly (I now only care about handing in assignment, quality is not that important anymore), wear ojibala outfit (wear slippers in winter, having silly socks day, flowerly top with strippy pants) and sleep at ojibala time (sleep at 5am and wake up at 12pm).

Is that ojibala enough? LOL

Okok, life is in fact not as terrible as you think. I still manage to sleep and eat. Just not that healthy, no big deal. At least I only start having such life at university level, unlike some of those SPM or STPM high scorers which starts to have sleep debt in their secondary life. Oh please, my secondary life was awesome, skipping classes like nobody's business, eating mum's best home cook meal, sleep as long as what a baby need (>10 hours a day)...

Gosh, can anyone to tell me how to do Corporate Strategy assignment?

Assignment is always easy when you know nothing about the assignment. Once you realize you have some kind of assignment structure that you have to use, some "dono-why existed" restrictions made by the lecturers, and some other crappy terms and conditions, THE ASSIGNMENT WILL JUST TURN OUT TO BE DIFFICULT.

According to my tutor, our assignment should state the situation of the company, do some analysis on it, make conclusions and recommendations. Analysis has to be align with recommendations and it must be also true for the other way round. It makes sense right? I know it does, but when you have to apply it to your assignment, you will have to restrict the content to be in that certain area, which for me is really beating around the bush and not let your mind go free. LOL. There is always traffic jam in my brain. I need a traffic police for my little brain. Imagine a traffic police blowing the whistle, telling information A to stop and information B to get through. HAHA... how interesting it can be.

Well, I will have to stop thinking about non-sense. =)

Oh ya... thanks AnQing for the long joke even though I have yet read it... too long... Besides, I will try to reduce coffee intake because according to her, it will increase risk of miscarriage. Funny girl, I have yet got a husband or even worst, no boyfriend at the moment. So, how am I supposed to get pregnant. HAHA... No matter what, thanks for the long joke and I appreciate your concerns and advices =)

Post exam fever

Hurray, One mid sem down... Well, I had my Company Accounting mid sem on Thursday. I managed to finish the exam even though I can't be certain whether I did it well or not. Actually, more than half of the students left early. So being able to finish earlier is definitely not a big big achievement or something to be proud of although I am quite happy with it. Obviously I have low threshold of satisfaction.

Maybe you never take accounting subjects before, but here I want to say, for accounting exams, all it is tested is how fast you can remember the answers from your previous lecture notes or tutorial answers and the speed you could write out everything recovered from the memory card in your mini and compact brain. There are always more questions to answer than you can handle in a given time period, but that's the way it is. Not sure about other courses or degree... but seriously.... why on earth lecturers care so much about the quantities rather than qualities? Maybe I can understand those lecturers when I am in their shoes. HAHA

Holiday just ended but I am looking forward for the next holiday. Can I turn back the clock?

Now I am working on the subject that I hate most, Corporate Strategy. I did badly in both my previous assignments so I took the initiative to look for my "beloved" tutor and asked him what went wrong with my assignments. I seemed to understand the main problem, but it is still ambiguous for me. Too much uncertainties in doing my next assignment. I was reading the case study but Zhou Gong asked me out for a date. LOL. I had my nap for at least 1 hour but I still feel very tired now. I am old already, getting fatigue easily. =)

The heater in BnG is back on and it seems to work pretty well for my room this year. OMG... I can wear shorts in my room as compared to previous years where I have to wear long john with multi-layers of socks in my room. But, I think I should turn down the heater because I am having headache over it. Too much or too little is always not good.

Time to head back to piles of assignments and readings. =(
