For the MT program, we are each given a buddy and a mentor.
Today, my buddy (who is from the previous batch of MTs) complained that I never approach her. That is right, I never contacted her because I really do not feel the need to do so. There is nothing much I can say to her since she is also in the same company as me. Bleh... I am worried that I could not control my anger or temper in front of the so-called buddy, who is there to help you along your way for the whole year. I have not much interest in knowing more about the company and how they move their way through the program. I only want to do my work and be at low profile. That's why I can predict myself that I will never succeed in corporate ladder. Sigh >.<
I have to clarify, my buddy is a really nice person but today she is on fire because of someone and something. HAHAHA.
Oh, I also have an appointment with my mentor. I did email him but he never reply me, so it is not my problem. Anyways, I wouldn't want to tell them what is deep down my heart and what I am planning to do.
Seriously I don't feel like talking to anyone in the company because I have to be so careful when I talk and it is just uncomfortable and unnecessary for me. If you see me at work, most probably you will see me with my head set and sitting at one corner hiding behind the laptop screen. HAHAHA. Low profile and undetectable!!

Long weekend
It's a long weekend. I spent my whole day sleeping yesterday. I woke up at 12.30pm, went back to sleep at 9.30pm because I am down with flu and fever. No wonder I felt so different on Thursday afternoon at work. I thought I was just ready for the weekends but it was a signal from my body to tell me I am going to fall sick soon. Imagine I am down with sickness at least once in a month. Oh ono.... my body is seriously under attack. I need to find some food or supplement to boost my antibody.
Yesterday, my house owner bought new washing machine. Hurray... it means I don't have to hand wash my clothings. Thinking twice, I am so used to hand washing my clothing that I am reluctant to wash my clothings using washing machine because office wear are so expensive and I do not want them to get ruin when using washing machine =( Quite a lot of my clothings in Australia ended up in the rubbish bin because of the extensive use of washing machine and dryer. Let me see what I can do with my apparels. Maybe hand wash those pricey ones and dump those lower end ones into the washing machines. =)
I am supposed to study... but I am not. Oh wells, I feel like in a shopping mood now. Too bad, I am just too lazy to walk out of my apartment and I need to save for my tuition fees. Ok, I shall stay at home for the rest of the weekends and do my presentation slides >.<
Please go away, Mr FLU and MRs Fever!! Go find someone else who are happy to accept you!! =)

Supportive parents =)
I am such a lucky girl. Although there are a lot of people out there that constantly insult or talk behind me and working in a company that never appreciate my talent or my degrees, I am blessed enough to have friends and family who understand and support me.
Yesterday, when my mum called and I decided to tell her everything that happened to me in my work place despite the fact that I seldom talk to her about u bad news or unhappy stuffs. I never want my parents to worry about me therefore I always tend to show them the happy side of my life. But yesterday I thought they have to know a bit more of my current situation so they won't be shock when I quit my job. To my amusement, my mum actually was even angrier than me about how people in the company treated me. To be honest, rather than being angry, I was more upset and depressed. That's why I cried a lot. I really thought I am the worst out of the other management trainees.
My mum was extremely supportive in this case and she asked what can be done to solve this situation. So, I told her I can always do my CFA and improve my chance to get into research department. Please don't get me wrong, my mum meant I should do my CFA and continue my career somewhere else. HAHAHA. My mum reacted spontaneously by saying
'How much? When is the exam? I will take care for the exam fee. Do your CFA and add points to your qualifications. Don't let those West Malaysians look down on us.'
I think I inherited the direct and decisive characteristics from my dear mother. When I told her there is an exam on June, she asked me to sit for that exam, but obviously it is too late for me to register. Can you see how eager my mum is as compared to me who only complain most of the time? I must be more aggressive from now onwards.
My parents never force me to do anything but sometimes they do nag me a lot, especially mum but I am very grateful to be in such family. Thank you, mum and dad. I think I can get through all these rough moments in life. For those baddies, shoo shoo shoo. Get out of my life.

I hate fridays
The growth journey is always harsh and tough. Nobody will tender you with great care anymore, that's why being a high school kid is always great!! I do not know about others but at least for me it is.
This week, I was in the equity side of the IB. Luckily I am not alone there, another girl in my group is also there (Let's call her X).
During lunch on Wednesday, I was talking to a girl from the same batch as well (let's call her Y). I told her how I feel all this while and I told her how bad it is not to have something to do for the whole week. Yes, what I am doing is actually to draw disgrace to myself. The girl actually said:
"Your attitude sucks. If you are upset, just leave. You know why you are here? You are here in this company is because obviously you cannot get into CIMB or Maybank (top banks in Malaysia as compared to the small bank I am working with)."
After that I talked to X who was also at the lunch table previously. She told me to lower my expectations. Don't expect too much!! Although I promised her to try to lower my expectations, deep in my heart, I was wondering why should I lower my expectation. I am at work now, and all I am asking is to give me work, FEED ME WITH WORK. I am not even asking for a rise in pay or anything. Don't bosses like to pack people with work? I do not feel good at all to sit there and just receive my pay check. Besides, if everyone lower their expectations, how on earth can the company improve and move on? Obviously, I can't do anything because I am just a management trainee. I am very disappointed with the job rotation, which before this I thought it will be very exciting and insightful. I am truly displeased with the rotation. All I can do now is either to quit or work there and keep my mouth shut.
My fridays are always bad. TGIF never applies to me. Guess what, I was crying on my way to the LRT station and in the LRT. I failed to control my emotions again. I'm such a brad!! I could no longer hold my tears and I left my friend behind without even telling her. She is really a very nice and caring friend and I feel bad doing this.
The trigger to such incident was once more due to the feeling on being insulted.
There is another thing that I really dislike this manager is that I told him I am not a money oriented person and he told me not to lie!! WTF, do I need to lie on such things? I know myself more than you know me. You only know my name and my job. I doubt you know about my education and where I am from. I am a very self contended person. I get very happy with all my little improvements in life. As long as I earn enough for a living, I feel good. When it was his turn to talk about himself, he told us he was also not a money oriented person. So now, you can say this, but i cannot!! WTF!!
Then he went on asking what is my preferred department. As I have gained my experience that talking about the fact that I want to get into research will always lead to upset ending, I told him that I don't see the point of telling him because I will never be granted what I wish for. Then he told me must think positive and I ended up telling him. I am such a slut!! I promised myself not to talk about research anymore but I was talking about it again. Then he said:
"Please go home and do a search on those people in the Research Department. Compare your qualifications with them. Come and talk to me if you still find yourself good enough after you compare yourself and them. Even the youngest in the Research department is doing CFA part 2 and bla bla bla.. You see how much hard work they put in, I once interviewed XXX and we talked for five hours...."
When I finished listening what he was talking, I was already teary. I felt very insulted and hurt. If my heart is made up of glass, you will hear it shattered. Obviously, to them, my qualifications is shit and worth nothing. I might be only suitable for them to wash the toilet. Nobody treasures and look upon ANU qualifications. All my double degree, double majors and minors with two professional qualifications are only just some rough papers that are prepared to be flushed down the toilet bowl. They treasure unknown local universities certificates than ANU. I felt sorry for ANU, myself and even for them.
Have they ever give us a chance to shine? Have they ever test on our capabilities and strengths? Have they take the effort to nurture us? I believe in 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration. Don't ever look down or disregard anyone in the world. You never know what is their potentials and strengths. One day, he/she might be even more successful than you or me.
Did I ever say I am not willing to put in effort? Did I ever say I am not willing to do CFA? Did I ever say I want to go home early? Did I ever say I give up easily?
Don't assume anything on me when you don't know me!! Yes I know it is difficult but I am working on it. I am trying my best to know more about the market by reading all types of newspapers everyday and all research reports available in the market!!
To be honest, I have given up on the company. I never give up things easily, but for my first time I am giving up within 1 month. Although I look down on myself for doing so, I can't help it at all. Both my mind and heart tell me to give up. Despite all these, I will continue working until I find a new job. Till then, I will just treat it as a work, nothing more than that. I will finish every task assigned to me but I will never ever talk about research anymore or even take the effort to do more. I am not giving anyone, any more chance to insult me further. I am setting up my protection shield so I don't have to amend my broken heart everyday. I don't want swollen eyes everyday when I wake up anymore. I am fed up with my current life. I want a change. Maybe I am just not strong and tough at all. Maybe everything is just my problem. I tried to rise up from the valley by reading all types of self motivational books. It just did not happen. So for now, I am going to do research by my own and no longer put hope in the company. I am to move on!!
Once the interviewer asked whether there is at a moment I felt sad in my life, I was very proud to tell her no. But if now you ask me is there any decision that made me felt sad and regretful, I can tell you
YES, that is working with my current company. You learn nothing and get insults more than encouragements and 'suck it up' is their slogan which I think really SUCKS!!

Sleepless night
Another sleepless night for Priscilla Lim. I can barely sleep properly yesterday as well. My eyes are wide open since 3am but I only went to bed at 2am. I guess there are too much thoughts that came across my mind that require digestion. I do not like to have insomnia because now I am having headache. Oh nooo...
About Thursday, I spent my whole day refining the proposal. I googled the proper way to write a proposal but I was very very careful when I was using the internet. Guess what, I had exceeded the internet quota again today. Anyways, I was quite proud that I came out with a proposal for the first time all by my own. =) Well done, Priscilla!!
I felt the people in the department were too noisy especially for a working space. They were talking non-sense very frequently. I thought maybe if they could possibly improve their efficiency, they can go home early and get more sleep!! But one of my friend told me some superiors actually equate hardworking to working till late hours. For me, that is definitely not the case. I do it fast and correct, thus I can go home early. Work is always endless so no matter how late you stay, you can never clean up your job lists. All you can do is to do work up to date. Another reason for me to fail while I am climbing the corporate ladder because I never like to stay late in the office given I checked my job lists. Sigh
Yesterday, when I was about to leave the office, one of my colleague asked me to wait another 5 minutes because she wants to give me feedback on the work I have done. But it is already 5.50pm, I am done with work and ready to go!! Actually I couldn't blame her because she was kind enough to give me constructive feedback while she was so busy with her work the whole day. So, we chat a bit about my proposal and where to improve.
Obviously I overestimated the figures and she decided to give me actual figures from the daily report. Finally... but why don't you just give it to me when I asked for it in the first place and now I have to reconstruct everything again. Sigh, this is what I meant inefficiency!!
Somehow I can sense that my work is still below the standard and expectation of the head of division. But I was seriously satisfied with my proposal because it was my first proposal and I started from scratch without anyone's help and guidance. I could have done better if I were given more time and guidance.
Today, I spent half of the day reconstructing my revenue generation. But I think it was incorrect as well because the head of division was not interested in looking into it at all. He gave my some of his personal views on how I could gain more from this management trainee program. Another person who asked me to be more open minded and explore more of everything. He seems to be the first person in the company to be able to make me feel shaky upon my point of view. I like him. He doesn't talk crap, he is straight to the point but he disclaims everything he says. HAHAHAHAHA. He asked me what department am I interested in and obviously my standard answer was research and risk. I told him I wouldn't want anything that involves sales and he asked whether I have addressed my concerns to the HR. Seems like he feels that I've already found my direction and I will fight for it no matter what, that's why he kept on repeating how important it is for me to keep an open mind. Cool guy I would say and I would like to talk to him again if I get the chance.
After that, another division head invited me over to share my experiences to be in that department. I was extremely blur when I went into the meeting room with 8 people. So, I told him what I did and my thoughts towards changes that can be made for current products. We had quite a debate about the changes that I propose. He thinks I am very analytical but I told him too bad I never get into research. He told me, if you have an aim, just go for it, which means it is not necessary for me to be open minded. Very contradictory right?
I am still weighing which one is more important, being open minded or get on going for my current aim?
One very good suggestion that my friend gave me was be open minded for the time being and grab any possible opportunities that will lead me to my aim!! Very complicated idea but very true!!
Actually I want to thank two very important people in my life at the moment. They are my neighbours, one level above me. They listen to my complaints every time and give me suggestions on how I can improve my current situation!! I don't think I could have survive through this transition period without their comfort, love and care!! Thanks, peeps =)

29 April 2013 - Personality Development Day
Hurray hurray, guess where is my next attachment? It is at USJ!! Where the hell is USJ?
If I have not mistaken, USJ is around Sunway. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!! Does that mean I am going Sunway Pyramid shopping everyday?
*Claps* *Claps* for such crappy attachments again!!
I think this is another attachment where I have to drag myself out of bed early in the morning, take at least 3 types of public transport to get to work. I am exploring KL more in a risky way!! Damm shit!!
Today, the DISC (personality test) guy came for a talk. I am seriously in the wrong group. My group consist of people who likes meeting and talking to people. Ermm... I like keeping myself to MYSELF most of the time, but I do not deny that SOMETIMES I do enjoy hanging around with people. But the probability of that happening is around 20%. Definitely, I am not an 'influencing' person. I would like to redo my personality test if I have another chance. Of course, in the working world, people are seldom given a second chance. It is either u strike it or you are out of the game. Oh wells, at least now I know there are 4 types of personality at the very general stages.
I would say I am a bit of all 4 types of personality.
I am
DOMINANT - I have a goal and I will do whatever it takes to succeed!!
INFLUENCING - I can be very optimistic and talkative when I choose to =)
STEADY - I can be very laid back at times that I think I deserve a break (in another word - LAZY)
COMPLIANCE - I am an actuarial student, I have to be analytical and loves figures!!
But definitely I know, among which of the four personality, there is something I am better at as compared to others. I am in a transitory stage where everything is still in the process of seeking and forming, and god knows where I will end up in the coming 5 years?
Oh ya, today my friend gave me an otak-otak bun!! She brought it all the way from Muar. OMG, I am so touched!! HAHAHAHA. Thanks, dear friend!! =)

Friday (26 April 2013)
Another weekend with negative productivity!! I am down with flu, cough and slight fever which I never realised. I thought I am strong but obviously I am not. The protection shield in my body has lost its defence towards the extremely powerful viruses!! After being sick for a week, I finally went to visit the doctor. There were quite a few clinics around my working place. As a finance student, I start to think whether it is due to the supply and demand theory. Does that mean workers working around that area fall sick easily, that's why doctors are standby around to 'suck' our money?
There were like 7 people sitting in the clinic waiting for their respective turns when I arrived. Of course, I waited for more than 45 minutes to see the doctor for 3 minutes. In between, the doctor received a call but she told the person who called that 'there is a crowd in the clinic'. This must be the 'peak' for doctors, like auditors have their peak before the closing of the financial year. Before I leave, I took my goody bag with me. Now, I have extra 'food' to be fed on!!
The doctor told me to swallow my cough syrup slowly without mixing water. By that, I beg her to change those irritating, yucky syrup to tablets. Of course, the beg was of no use. I took home, two but not one cough syrups!! The doctor told me the syrup taste good, like honey!! Sorry, it does not taste like honey. I couldn't describe the taste exactly but all I can say it is salty. Honey is never salty!!
On Friday, we finish an hour earlier than usual. We went for dinner in Tappas and dinner was ok. I ordered some type of spaghetti carbonara, where I replaced the bacons with broccoli and carrots. The price was acceptable given the high living standard here. Our salary is pretty low nevertheless.
Finally it is time for Iron Man III. It was better than I expected!! Great movie!! Heaps of people were there to watch the newly released movie.
There were like 7 people sitting in the clinic waiting for their respective turns when I arrived. Of course, I waited for more than 45 minutes to see the doctor for 3 minutes. In between, the doctor received a call but she told the person who called that 'there is a crowd in the clinic'. This must be the 'peak' for doctors, like auditors have their peak before the closing of the financial year. Before I leave, I took my goody bag with me. Now, I have extra 'food' to be fed on!!

Did you notice the stack of paper on each and everyone's hand? That is the DISC profiling test results. From that result, I am a persuader!! Hmm.. since when I am a persuader? Obviously, there is something wrong going on when I was doing the test, that's why the result does not reflect the true me!! I might be over-excitied that day when I was doing the test. I can't even persuade myself working in that company, how on earth can I persuade others? Things has been so wrong!! If they really place me according to the DISC result, I am going to be suffering at work >.< Can I please please please redo my DISC?

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 =)

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

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. =)

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. =(

random updates
I know, I know, It's been a long time since I came back to my dear buddy. Well, life have been very very busy. Actually if you ask me what am I busy about, I can only tell you, I DON'T KNOW!!
It just seems 24 hours a day is not enough for me. Well, I think it is because I am lack of time management skills. LOL. That is one thing that I always wanted to empower but never even get near it. =)
There's a mid sem exam for me next Tuesday. I need to finish studying everything during the weekends because I have work on Monday =( I don't think I have enough time to study on Monday. This makes me wander whether I should go out for lunch with my friends for a friend's birthday on Sunday. Well, it depends on my progress of study which in turn depends on my procrastinating level for this few days.
Ok, I shall balik baca buku. Tapi, bukan facebook!! =)

Expecting something?
Santa Claus is ready to get on his sleigh to deliver present!!
Good girl is expecting her gifts!! =)
I am expecting my Easter break. What are you expecting or waiting for?
Good girl is expecting her gifts!! =)
I am expecting my Easter break. What are you expecting or waiting for?
Love and thank you
Sorry for making everyone worried about me yesterday. Thank you for those that make the attempt to show their care on me and did everything they can to comfort me!! I am so touched and Priscilla love you guys as always!!
So, there was this girl,drunk tipsy and was doing facial when I facebook her, telling her I was unhappy. I asked whether she wants to go out for cake tonight because I was so depressed over my assignment. She told me she don't have cake, but she has red bean paste pau. OMG... I said tonight, not yesterday night. She must be drunk tipsy when she read my message. LOL.
She walked all the way from Lena Karmel Lodge in the COLD just to cheer me up by bringing me FOOD. As all my friends know, FOOD does make me happy. Well, I was really touched by her move because by the time she reached my room, it was around 1am. I told her not to come over because it is too dangerous to walk alone in the dark from her place to mine. She insisted, her stubbornness makes her special. She never give up her studies and she was the one telling me to do my assignment again when I decided just to go to bed and leave the assignment to what it was.

Sophie
P/S: She is still single and available.
A variety of food that keep me awake for the night.
8 red bean paste pau, banana and shapes
I am picky, can it be orange next time rather than banana? I don't really like banana. LOL. Just joking. I love everything you brought for me, sincerely.
To show that I finish all the pau by myself, 8 paus in a morning to keep me awake. =)
I think I should ask Sophie to stop feeding me because everytime she appear in my life, I would put on at least 1 kg. The last time she invited me over for dinner, she cooked such delicious meal and asked me to finish everything before I leave. She even prepared ice-cream for dessert. So, I ended up like a 5 month pregnant lady after dinner.
5 month pregnant Priscilla
Yummy vanilla bean flavor ice-cream
Horrible weekend has left Priscilla!! Time to rise and shine!! Cheers!!
Sad and messy Priscilla, SHOOOOO!! Don't get back anymore!! You are not welcome in my life!!

Apologies
I want to say sorry to someone, the birthday girl that may not get her present on time because I am so busy with assignments and work. But, you will be compensated will extra surprise!! =)
Will you forgive me?

Review from Monday to Wednesday
A review of what I did this week
Monday
Oh... I posted my anger and hate-NESS for corporate strategy in my previous post, therefore, nothing much to review. I just don't want to flash back about that stupid course!!
Tuesday
It wasn't a busy day with classes or tutorials, but I was so busy doing my tutorial exercises and I missed my 9am corporate strategy lecture. Actually, I didn't know whether I did it on purpose or I am just too tired. Now, we had new corporate strategy lecturer and I didn't know about it until my tutor told me. Who cares?? I didn't like the course at all. But, my friend told me the new lecturer was better and in fact, I am not too sure whether I can trust him because he did not attend lecture too!! Silly friend!!
I had management accounting lecture too. Ermmm.. there was something that I couldn't understand and I approached the lecturer. I am still BLLLLLLLLLLUUUURRRRRRRRR about the meaning of a particular phrase. LOL. The lecturer was so patient explaining to me but it just did not make any sense to me!! =(
Wednesday
I hate Wednesday. I have class from 9am to 6pm with 1 hour break in between. We had a make up LBE (Law, Business and Entity) class to replace the monday ones, since it was Canberra Day on Monday. I had two tutorials to conduct that day, but the response given in each class was so different. The first class was in complete silence but the second class was as noisy as if we were having party in the tutorial room. I think the 9am class was a bit too early to be active and participate in the teaching. =)
Getting back to those classes I have to on that day , it was not too bad. I had management accounting tutorial class and I was so busy copying answers. I didn't listen to anything taught by the tutor. It was my fault, nothing to do with the tutor. because according to him, he proceeded to the next question when he saw nobody copying the answers. But, deep in my heart, I was thinking... ARE YOU BLIND? DID YOU JUST NOT SEE ME COPYING?? Gosh, it is definitely my problem because everyone seems to be so smart and got every question correct. IT IS JUST ME THAT DID NOT GET THE TUTORIAL QUESTION CORRECT? dumb dumb dumb. I managed to tell him to slow down for the next tutorial but let's see how it goes.
Then it was company accounting lecture. I did not mean to complain about him but he spent around 1/2 hours making announcements. He is just being considerate knowing we don't look into the forum and any announcements made by him. LOL. BBBBUUUUTTTT, do you think 1/2 hour announcement is a bit too long? In the end, he has to rush through the lecture notes and I got lost. =( Time to self study, I guess!!
After that, I had LBE lecture. OMG... there were about 15% of total students who still attend the lecture. Despite how much I hate the course, I still attend because the lecture time was reasonable ( unlike early in the morning). When the lecturer was teaching, can you imagine a lot of students was looking at their iPhone and some was doing their own things, except a few others which of course include me, was listening. I listened in class. I was so attentive although I have to admit I was browsing facebook for once throughout the whole lecture. It wasn't too bad right? Only logging on facebook for once for one hour. =)
Remember about the make up lecture class, there was only 20++ students left. I had 20++ students in my tutorial class that morning too. LOL. Poor lecturer, she must be upset about her student's attendance. But, I have to say if I have a choice, I might consider not going too!! XD
After going to so many classes, do you think it is sensible if I say I am hungry? It was already 5pm. I started to munch my sandwiches in the tutorial room. I thought it was ok to eat sandwiches in class but that tutor that I hate so much was staring at me. He wanted me to keep my sandwiches. Damm sien and I was quite angry about it.
DEMANDING ME TO KEEP MY SANWICHES IS SIMILAR TO SNATCHING THEM AWAY FROM ME, AND SNATCHING THINGS AWAY FROM PRISCILLA IS THE WORST EVER THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO, ESPECIALLY FOOD!!
I just didn't understand what is wrong with eating sandwiches in class. It is just sandwiches, not Burmese curry, not bak kut teh. No aroma, no interference whatsoever. I still listen while I eat. I do no harm to the class or anyone else.
To the tutor:
"If you think I am showing no respect to you by eating in the class, you are wrong. If you are capable to teach, I will respect you no matter what. You just did not earn my respect at all."
I can remember last year in one of the lectures, there was this row of people having their 'weekly picnic' every time we had that lecture. They had economic rice, tuna in can, oranges, pasta, etc in class and the lecturer was fine with it, unlike this TONG TAK BERISI... kacau-kacau sahaja, hanya tahu bising!!
Although I put away my sandwiches because obviously I was a coward, I was thinking about food throughout the whole tutorial. Everything this tutor was doing just makes me hate him more. I do hope I can get to change tutorial or maybe I can pray harder for miracles, such as he is leaving for good.
I think I should leave my blog for now. I have to do a bit of reading before I go to bed because tomorrow I am going to skyfire. Should I go? Let's not procrastinate so I have more time to study!!
Monday
Oh... I posted my anger and hate-NESS for corporate strategy in my previous post, therefore, nothing much to review. I just don't want to flash back about that stupid course!!
Tuesday
It wasn't a busy day with classes or tutorials, but I was so busy doing my tutorial exercises and I missed my 9am corporate strategy lecture. Actually, I didn't know whether I did it on purpose or I am just too tired. Now, we had new corporate strategy lecturer and I didn't know about it until my tutor told me. Who cares?? I didn't like the course at all. But, my friend told me the new lecturer was better and in fact, I am not too sure whether I can trust him because he did not attend lecture too!! Silly friend!!
I had management accounting lecture too. Ermmm.. there was something that I couldn't understand and I approached the lecturer. I am still BLLLLLLLLLLUUUURRRRRRRRR about the meaning of a particular phrase. LOL. The lecturer was so patient explaining to me but it just did not make any sense to me!! =(

The twins
Meet my new friends, Eric and Daniel.
They are the twins which I mentioned in my previous post. Ermm... I am not very sure whether I can classify them as my friends because I really don't know them that well. All I know is that they are bulliers!!

I still can't recognise which is the elder brother and which is the younger brother.
I THINK the one on the left is the younger brother, Daniel, and the one on the right is Eric. Hopefully that is a correct guess!! Who cares, they will never know I made mistake because they don't know such post exist. =)

10/3/2012 - Hot Air Ballon Festival
Today I woke up as early as 5am because I wanted to go and have a look at the Hot air ballon festival which was held at the Commonwealth Park in Canberra (the lawn opposite the old Parliment House). We managed to get there in time before those hot air ballons were set up and watched sun rise which only occurs once every blue moon for me!!
At normal times, you could barely see so many people in Canberra. There are 3 occasions that I know Canberra would be full with people are Hot Air Ballon Festival, Sky Fire, and Floriade. I wondered where those crowd of people come from.
Laying out those cloth like hot air ballon top
The old man was trying to turn on the FIRE!!
Inflating the hot air ballon
Yes, half done, half to go
Did you see the crowd?
Call the number behind if you wish to go on a hot air ballon
More hot air ballons
Capital Chemist, the place I go when I feel sick, instead of the doctor.
(You will understand why if you made an appointment with Canberra's doctor)
Me and Bee Teent
Me only.
More on the setting up of Kangaroo look hot air ballon
Chinese so called people mountain people sea
Hurray, an orange Kangaroo with its children in her pocket
A brown kangaroo, maybe is the previous kangaroo's husband. LOL
Oh no... fire is burning the kangaroo's bottom!!
Did you see how bright the sun was? Huh, massive UV ray.
I am so close to the kangaroo... I am such a small peanut compared to the hot air ballon.
Yan Liang was the organizer of this trip. His friends came over from Melbourne to visit him.
They are twins. OMG, first ever twins that I know after I came over to Canberra.
Colourful hot air ballon. Love it!!
LOL. The kangaroos are kissing!!
Time to finish. Some of the hot air ballon are undergoing deflation!!
This time there wasn't a lot of hot air ballons shown because I think it is just day 1 of the festival. There should be more different kinds of hot air ballons shown for the following week and hopefully, the weather will be better in future. We were quite lucky because it did not rain for the whole day yesterday. Such nice weather to hang out with friends and relax!!
