Hope for the best, expect the worst

I believe I'm getting the pre-exam jitters. Exam is like in 2 weeks time. I'm so DOOMED! I'm now hoping for the best & expecting the worst.

Got back my tax coursework marks yesterday. 66. At first it was 60. It's a lucky thing I took down the marks for each part. I was adding them up and discovered that my lecturer made an error in the calculation. *PHEW*

Tongue twisters

My mum just asked me to type & print these out so she could stick it up in the loo. (From StarTwo, 25 August 2005)

If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch?

If one doctor doctors another doctor does the doctor who doctors the doctor doctor the doctor the way the doctor he is doctoring doctors? Or does the doctor doctor the way the doctor who doctors doctors?

When a doctor falls ill another doctor doctors the doctor. Does the doctor doctoring the doctor doctor the doctor in his own way or does the doctor doctoring the doctor doctor the doctor in the doctor’s way?

These are OK lah. However, my all time favourite tongue twister is the one about the woodchuck because I can recite it by heart.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Success in life

Just had FMC tutorial. My lecturer is a person with words of wisdom. According to her, " Today is not about intelligence, it's about creativity. The creative people rule the world, not the intelligent."
Uh oh! I'm not creative person, neither am I intelligent. But I don't want to rule the world. So it wouldn't matter, would it?

Malang day & Not too bad a day

Had a really bad day yesterday.

1) Eyes were stinging the whole day. Must have been too tired.
2) Dropped my pencil in the lecture hall and lost the spring. That's two pencils this sem.
3) Didn't get my certificate for attending the ACCA student conference.
4) Had an aching neck. Possibly due to looking down for too long.
5) I have an idiot for a sibling - had to sleep at 12 a.m.

Today, on the other hand, was not too bad. I had a 'laughable' morning. I was probably dreaming of something funny. I suddenly just laughed out loud (I don't remember what I was thinking about). And that woke me up. I wasn't able to sleep anymore after that. So I just lay in bed till 6 a.m. when my dad came to wake me up.
Got my FMC coursework marks: 70/100. Not bad, if I should say so myself considering the high expectations of my lecturer.

I need to go shopping before the sale is over & before it gets too near to exams. Will probably go this Saturday when my bro goes to Mid Valley for a WCG event. I need to get some necessities:

• Earphones (all my earphones seem to get rosak-ed on one side)
  
• Shoes (apparently the soles are cracking)
• Rechargeable batteries (wouldn't have to buy new ones if I didn't accidentally drop one in a toilet bowl last time)
• Pencil (a big, fat one)
  

After today's FMC lecture, I'm certain that I am DOOMED!

Losing hearing

I believe I'm losing my hearing. My eardrums seem to have become kurang kenyal - a sign of old age. I must be using my earphones too much. However, I'm not gonna give up listening to music as it's the only source of entertainment I have while in the LRT. Can you imagine having to sit/stand in the LRT for 40+ minutes with nothing to do except stare at the person opposite you/out the window? It's pretty boring.

Saw a graffiti on the wall of the lecture hall today. It read: IN MEMORY OF THE THREE BASTARDS. Wonder who they are. Just curious.

Gotta start studying. Am gonna be dead meat if I don't start now. Then again, last minute work has always worked for me. But I'm starting to feel stressed.

Found out

Went to Mid Valley Megamall today. Found out the price for the W800i. RM 1999. Less than I expected it to be. Was so tempted to buy it.....NO $$$$$$!

Sony Ericsson W800i

It's finally out!!!! I'm talking about the Sony Ericsson W800i handphone. I wanna go check the price which obviously will be above RM 2,000. It makes people wonder sometimes why a person would spend so much on a handphone. But it's not JUST a handphone. Gotta consider the features. A 2.0 megapixel camera, MP3 player, video recording......SIGH~~~~~. Can't afford it now. Will wait till I can.

What a week!

First it was finishing up tax coursework.

And on Saturday my grandmother passed away. The Buddhist ceremony was a real bore. I've always liked the Chinese-Buddhist culture. Now I've found a flaw in it - FUNERALS. At my granmother's funeral, we, mourners, had to kneel/sit down while holding a joss stick for 20+ minutes almost every half hour while the nuns chanted. I didn't know what we were gonna do at the 1st session so I knelt, I learnt my lesson after that. It was painful kneeling for 20 minutes. I didn't attend the funeral today 'cos I had to go to college. Do I feel guilty? Maybe. I wasn't close to my grandmother anyway.

I've been thinking, when I die, if anybody is kind enough to hold a funeral service for me, I'd like for the music on my iTunes to be played. No chanting, please. Thank You!

Blank; not too bad

Not so hazy today. Probably because it drizzled last night/this morning. Not many people came for class though. Maybe because the conditions were so bad yesterday, so they decided not to come. Well, like Ross from Mix FM said yesterday, "It's like a big barbeque (minus the heat) out there. Everyone is invited, whether you like it or not."

My mind is blank now. Ta.

Face Analysis

FACEANALYZER
I got this website from Christine's blog.
It supposedly analyses your personality based on you face.

I tried it out. I had fun using different pictures of myself. I got different results each time. Thanks Christine, for sharing this website. Which is most accurate? I don't know. Here they are :


This picture was taken when I was in primary school (probably 9 or 10 years old)



This was taken last year, I think. Results - Extremely INACCURATE!



Taken this year, a few weeks ago.



Most recent pic.


Go ahead. Try it out. You'll have to register though.

Haze

I'd like to quote my mum, "The haze is terrible!" Yes, indeed it is. It stinks of smoke, not only outdoors but even indoors. Looks like it has decided to stay put in Malaysia for the time being. I do wish it'll clear up soon 'cos it's not a nice feeling walking in the haze.

My ding dong sister has deleted my picture from the camera without asking me first.

I can finally download large files without having to leave the computer on for too long. Thanks to FlashGet, an amazing discovery by my brother. Only thing is I don't think it can download from torrents.

Lesson learnt

I learnt a lesson from the aunties (includes my mum) in my family last night - this is in general: If you can help it, try not to work for an Indian boss, especially those with psychological problems i.e. psychos This is particularly true in small businesses.

I went to the PIKOM PC Fair yesterday (II). This time it was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Compared to the previous venue, the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), it seemed a little bit crammed. It was jam-packed with people. Could hardly move. Only bought ink crtridges and CD-Rs.

My brother seems to have taken on a really annoying trait from my mum - telling the whole universe about everything, including things he should not tell. I'm not telling you what it is because if I did I would not be worthy of typing this. Hah! Now I've got to be careful of what I tell him.

Ah....just finished typing my tax coursework. FINALLY!

Sister just came back. DARN!

Why does my mother never listen to reason? It's extremely frustrating. She can never understand that she is sometimes wrong about things.

WebSMS

I just found out that the Maxis website has this service. It allows people like me - people who are too cheap to send an SMS by the handphone - to send SMSs without having to pay for them. It's a DREAM come true. Hahahaha. But the number of characters is limited to 130 characters. The person whom you sent the SMS to can reply back 'cos it sort of like chatting but he/she will be charged 15 sen per SMS, if sent by phone. Anybody can register for this service, you needn't have to be a Maxis customer but the SMSs can only be sent to Maxis numbers i.e. 012 & 017.

*SCREAM*

Oh no! It's like almost the end of the semester (4 more weeks to go) and I have not even read a single thing for any of my subjects. I'm in deep shit!
FMC is a killer subject (I'm surprised I have not dropped dead yet) and the Taxation text book is just too thick. What am I to do?????
I've been watching Full House, a Korean drama. It's hilarious .

My sister has gone to Fraser's Hill for an ACCA camp. So that means I get the room to myself for almost 3 whole days. Good riddance!

Gotta go collect my contact lenses and spectacle lenses now. Lazy lah.

Me - Blur?

During yesterday's tax tutorial my lecturer/tutor asked my class rep who, in my class, graduated with distinction (diploma level). He was really angry at us 'cos, as usual, we couldn't answer his questions and so he wanted to know the so-called "smart" students. My class rep went ahead and named those people on by one. Every name my class rep said, my tutor had some comment. There were some who didn't look like they could have gotten a distinction at all - well, that's what my tutor thought lah. I guess I was one of them. He said to me, "You? Why you come to class look so blur blur?" Yes, I admit I'm a really blur person. I can't help it. I was born like that. I got a distinction by pure luck. I am NOT a smart person nor am I hardworking. Compared to my classmates, I'm one of the laziest.
