WORLD CUP!

The 2010 WORLD CUP IS HERE! Just heard the song for the 2010 World Cup, and sorry, it left me very bewildered. The song is "Waka Waka" by Shakira. Wait, isn't Waka the game I used to be addicted to on Facebook?
And what's with the "African" Language in the song? But nevertheless, looking forward to the World Cup! And time sure passes very fast. I still remember 4 years ago when I fervently supported Germany. They lost to Italy in the Semi Finals, but went on to beat Portugal 3-1 to get the third place finishing. And of course, 2006 marks the year Michael Ballack transferred to CHELSEA hahah! Aiman could never understand my fixation with Michael Ballack, but it soon became a running joke during my Sec 4 years....:D

The video that just cheered my day:

In the midst of exams. 2 down, and 2 more to go. Acc and Ob didn't go well for me, and when I say it didn't go well, it means it is really disastrous. Careless mistakes, no time to complete...BLEAH. Left with Stats and Marketing. Feeling confident for Stats? (I hope so, hope that I don't screw up for linear programming and Hypothesis testing). Haven't touch marketing at all (and marketing is another OB because marketing lectures are like story telling sessions, when we listen to Prof Hooi's stories but never really absorb what he's saying. But luckily, there's 7 days after Stats to mug for marketing.

Really looking forward to the end of exams! I think one of the best feelings one could ever have is the end-of-exams feeling! But lot's of things to do after exams though. For one, I really need to get back into shape. Exam season is always damaging to my body because of the lack of sleep (resulting in bad skin and pimples) and binge eating (weight gain!) My friend told me yesterday that ever since he entered nbs, he's been losing weight like crazy cause of the stress. But for me, it's the completely opposite. I use food as a source of comfort (which is really bad), and that's why I always BALLOON up during this period. So definitely need to get back into shape. lol!

Another thing I'm considering is whether to take up a job during this 4 months. I know I will be busy with UOC stuff, but I need to earn some money because my bank account balance is dwindling like crazy, and parents still don't want to give me allowance leh (since they say my bank account still got money). BUT BUT BUT my own money is for buying my own stuff leh, not for my daily living expenses :( I have got an internship offer at some place I would not disclose yet, but the pay is a measly $500/month. Still don't know whether I should take it.

SOMETHING RANDOM! I'm really looking forward to my Krabi Trip!

the usual exam rants

Good things never lasts.

This sem might have been tough, but at least it was going fine for me.
And just when I hought everything was going yi fan feng shun, my acc project got a B. Yes, a disastrous B. Quite sad, ok make that very sad, because I really enjoyed working with my acc group, and I thought we would get an A- at the least. What makes it worse is that it's bloody 20%. TWENTY PERCENT. It kinds of screw things up, because I keep having this feeling that no matter how hard I work for my finals, it will still remain at a B grade, hence pulling my whole GPA down. B is only 3.5, and even if I do well for the rest of the modules, my GPA will be cui too. Sigh. I knew my good luck wouldn't last long.

Exams in a few days time, and I'm so unprepared for it. I keep telling myself to work at my own pace and not to be affected by others. But sadly, my progress is really slow, cause I haven't been doing my OB readings consistently since the start of the sem, and I am having difficulty trying to catch up on my readings and mug at the same time. It really sucks when I see people doing exam papers, and here am I, struggling to complete my readings.

Ok, off to rest for a while and continue with my OB readings. NLB tomorrow with Sm Goh (hope I don't oversleep). Sm and I were saying today that we are really the same "kuan" during exams. Carol, you can do it :D :D
