EXAMS

EXAMS. EXAMS. EXAMS.

*dies*

Officially on hiatus for the whole week.

T___T

Whee! It's the holidays~ ^^ For almost 2 months...o_O Time to look for a job to earn some extra bucks. Oh well...so many things happened last weeek. I'll just put it all in one post to save time ok. Here's what happened last week.

Sunday
Mum won an 80GB SATA hdd from the charity auction organised by the management of Digital Mall. Too bad I can't fit it in my CPU. Old mobo...what do you expect?

Monday
Study. Sleep. TV. Procrastinate.

Tuesday
Exam was so-so. Dun think I did well. Enough said.

Wednesday
My package came. Oh heavens! The box is absolutely gorgeous.

Thursday
Saw a video on Reuters covering Dong Bang's encore concert over the weekend. Then, the news went global & appeared in TVs at different corners of the world. Amazing, isnt' it?

Click here to watch!

Friday
Study. Sleep. Eat. Whatever...-_-

Saturday
Exam was nightmare. Just like what the lecturer warned us. Nevertheless, I'm free from exams~ Went for my first-ever cocktail party in conjunction with the official launch of the new Mercedes C Class. Champagnes, cognacs, Heineken beers, wine...you name it. Everything is on the house. Absolutely free. Even the cigars too.

Sunday
Tested AADBSK 2 on my DVD player & it wouldn't play 3 discs. Crap! Decided to watch it on my lappie until 4am. Woo-hoo!

P.S. I need a job...

God. Exams. Guh... -_-"

Just to let ya guys know that I'll be on a hiatus for 1 week. Oh well, I guess it doesn't make any difference since I don't blog every day *shrugs*. Wish me luck, ppl! I need loads of them especially for Consumer Behaviour. T.T

ただいま！もう終わりちゃった～ ^^ Exams are finally over. I'm FREE...*squee* Don't even start asking about how the papers turned out to be. It's just...kinda bad, I guess. Best paper I did out of the four so far was Retail Marketing. I supposed I really put much effort in it, not to mention the paper being easier than I expected. *shrugs* Oh well, what's done is done. Can't possibly turn back time, right?

I'm back to being a drama addict again lately D-Addicts forum. I still recall those days during 2001 that I always made it a point to catch up with all the Japanese dramas aired on TV3. And then I would start fangirling with my best friend in school. Ah...those were the days when I was head-over-heels in love with 滝沢秀明. And I bought almost every single drama that he starred in despite the poor subs & video quality. At the moment, I'm hooked on to 花より男子 & 花ざかりの君たちへ cuz there's this cute actor named 小栗旬. Call me lame for only watching 花より男子 now since this is a 2005 drama. You see, I was put off by the Taiwanese version of the same title cuz of the hopeless acting skills. And so I thought the Japanese one wouldn't fare any better either. I was wrong -_-". That's why, never judge a book by its cover.

Anyways, Grandpa was admitted to hospital yesterday due to hernia. If the word sounds alien to you, just look up Wiki & you'll understand better than I try to explain here. Basically it's somewhat related to male's testicles & my grandpa needed surgery to remove some skin; that's what I was told. The surgery is pretty minor so there's nothing to worry about. But I'm glad that my exams are over as my grandpa don't have to chauffeur me around for 2 weeks. He can have all the time he needs to recuperate ^^. No biggie.

I suppose most of you are aware about this Malaysian Chinese dude studying in Taiwan actually made a fanvid using the national anthem as a theme song but modified to rap version. No matter how much I agree with him about the government & country's dirty secrets, I hope the video won't spark off racism riots just like the May 13 incident. Besides, I still have friends from diverse ethnicities whom I have no reason to go against them. Indeed the truth hurts but there's nothing we can do about it unless someone prominent would propose a change. It's a pity that all of us have to put up with government's fault...

Exams!! Will be back in a week's time. Pray for me, ppl~

The sleepless nights and endless presentation nightmares had finally came to an end. What a relief! But it's not over yet cuz exams are coming up in 2 weeks. I suppose the exam this time is tougher as we're given a long case study (yes, 20 pages...) to prepare before we bring it to the exam hall. The exam format goes like this...we're allowed to scribble anything on the case study & use it as a guideline to answer the questions. No other scribbled paper are allowed so we have to utilise whatever space we have on the case study paper for the necessary notes. I doubt you can fit the notes for the whole syllabus anyway.

I just bought a brand new LCD monitor several days ago. It's about time anyway cuz my old CRT is giving me problems (my sis uses the desktop more nowadays). At RM599, it's pretty darn good & the design is super sexy. I'm so proud to have one ^^.

Tadaa! The new, sexy Samsung SyncMaster 732N Plus

With a refresh rate of 5ms & contrast ratio of 2000:1

Look at the vivid colours & ultra high resolution at 1280 x 1024~ Are you green with envy now? XD Okay, okay...I'm not trying to be a show-off but erm, just telling you guys that this model is a good buy. It's not enough for gamers but moderate users like us would find it more than sufficient. Perhaps you guys might wanna try out this model when your old monitor dies.

P.S. I should be studying -_-"

Kyaaaaaa!!!!! It has been more than a week I last posted in this blog. Pretty long hiatus, eh? Well, I was busy preparing for exams especially subjects which are mind-blogging & energy-draining like Law which require more attention. Law paper was a total disaster T.T. If only I'd done better :-(. MKT232 turned out to be pretty easy; perhaps it was all thanks to the lecturer's last minute answers to the revision paper which was rather helpful. Statistics was a tad too difficult & the worst part is...I panicked~ Yes, indeed -_-". I shouldn't have so at least I could've done better calculations to get more accurate figures. *sighs* Oh well, it's over. No point lamenting over it, rite?

I have about two weeks holidays before my new semester starts. Oh boy! I'm moving on to the 4th semester. How time flies...guess what? My little cousin bro will be joining my college to pursue A Levels. Lets give him a warm welcome, shall we? *claps* I wish him all the best in his next level of education. Hopefully he gets really wacky friends who can joke as well he does & enjoy his college years in Inti College while it lasts.

Alrighty, the good news is...my dear baby is back. *nods* Yup, yup. My lappie is back from the HP clinic & it's running perfectly fine now. Apparently the keyboard & system board were faulty. The technician replaced the faulty parts without any charges since my unit is still under warranty. The weird thing now is my lappie no longer boots up with a Compaq logo but a HP logo instead. I had a feeling they replaced the system board with a HP one which I assumed is also compatible with my lappie. In addition, the lappie can boot up from power off mode by just tapping gently on the DVD Play touch button. This means it's not necessary to press the power button anymore. I still prefer the old setting though this feature can be pretty useful. I mean, it gets annoying when a finger accidentally brushed lightly on the touch button then the lappie boots up.

After the hardware replacement, it seems my Vista required re-activation to validate its status - either genuine or not. I tried several times to validate the product key underneath the lappie but failed. Hmm, I wonder why...did you know that if I don't validate soon; Vista will only allow me to use with very limted functions. Ack! I better work out something fast asap.

*breathes* Okay, I think I'm gonna settle for a D for HRM & a C for Law, I hope. Lets not speak of me failing the Law paper. Thinking about it makes me feel hopeless. I managed to answer sufficiently for HRM test (I think) but I'd probably get a huge X for one of the questions. So that means losing one big chunk of marks worthy of a better grade T.T. When I sat for a replacement test for Law trial test (in which I deliberately skipped yesterday), I found myself having difficulties to answer well. The words from the lecturer, "It's okay if you can't complete it but I expect that you do better in the exam" is not making me feel any better. I could see the look on his face implying that, "Hey girl, you're so gonna fail my paper with such short answers in the paper". Oh God, I'm so lost...

Heck! Why on earth grandma had to lose her purse on the day when I was super anxious about my HRM test?? What a timing~ It's frustrating cuz I had to rush back home - make a phone call to cancel her credit card, get my wallet which I forgot to bring & rushed to college to start revising for the test. Nerve-wrecking, I tell ya. Not even a single thing went well yesterday & today. I'm so glad the weekend is coming...at least there's some time to ease my worries.

So, I've decided that I won't hit any books tonight cuz it's time for relaxation. There're so many videos that I've been missing out for past few weeks. I'm off for a downloading spree & catching up with the remaining Goong S episodes. Good gracious! The series already ended last month & I'm still stuck at Episode 14 -_-".

Wee! I got the highest marks in class for MKT232 test~ ^^ Feeling rather happy for the day before I face my worst fears tomorrow. It's the last HRM test & I'm done with the subject. The grades will only be released next semester.

I'll keep this post short for today. Ain't got much to blog about besides the good marks for MKT232 test. It's just a trial test anyway...and the marks are not included in the coursework. Dang! In fact, I shouldn't be too happy cuz I'm not really prepared for the exam. Okay, I'm off to study HRM. Toodles~ ^^

One challenge is over...more to come!

Today marks the end of my one week trials exam. I was hoping the exam would end with a joyful note since I didn't do so well in Business Studies & Economics papers. Moreover, Math was the last paper. Boy, it turned out to be so difficult...I could barely answer all the questions. Say, about 60% of the question I couldn't answer. Sighs...I really had no mood to blog today. I got stuck in a traffic jam for no apparent reason & I was supposed to take nap but ended up having my eyes glued to a biography video of Mariah Carey on Channel [V]. I'm almost brain dead now...so exhausted and the cool weather is making me feeling extra sleepy.

I'd been having weird dreams lately. No good night sleep again. First, I dreamt that I was struggling to hide from a wicked but deadly gorgeous witch, who wanted to cast an evil spell on me. No matter where I ran, she knew about my whereabouts and would be well ahead to where I am heading. That was freaky! The next dream was about receiving an e-mail from my ex. I didn't expect to get something from him. Come to think of it, that e-mail wasn't really a message from him...it was more like a spam mail instead. That's wacky...

I'm still thinking of what to wear for my cousin sister's wedding. Should I wear that black dress I wore to the ball? Or just a casual blouse and skirt? I wished I had a fashion consultant during times like this. At least I didn't have to crack my head on wearing the best attire for the night. Any fashion stylist available??

I recently came upon this website on paranormal issues. It was reported that there were ghosts sightings by the army troops in New Orleans. Sounds like this city is not just a ghost city by its name. It's for REAL! Acheh also had similar sightings...weeks later after the tsunami hit on Dec 26, 2004. Reading this kind of stuff is intriguing when you are wondering whether to believe the witnesses or not. Well, I believe there are ghosts who loitering in the streets...those who died suddenly and have yet to achieve their goals in life. These ghost will rest in peace when all is done. I don't see why there are still hauntings if "they" had realised their dreams. And how would we know if they achieved what they wanted? Maybe there is no answer to this...
