I have 2 papers left(11 actually, but thats for the whole course, unless they change the syllabus, which I hope they do, then I have 10 papers left). So far it has been going well, I suppose, but definately not perfect, haha. Why can't humans be perfect? Well, instead of finding out why, lets just accept the fact and live with it.

Interestingly, I have noticed that some students seem to be better then the rest of the students. They confidently leave the lecture hall half-way into the paper, while I am still struggling to write my answers! Well, maybe I should learn how to summarise my answers to be like them, so I too can leave earlier. After all, the examiners should have given us more then sufficient time right?

Stats papers was ok, just that 4 questions that came out for the MCQ was something I had never seen before. Granted it was a tutorial question as I found out later. Maybe I should not have ONLY read the lecture notes and done the 4 year series, I should have done the tutorial. I could blame the lecturer who claimed that the lecture notes go in one direction, the tutorials go in one direction and the exam papers go in one direction. Other then that, the rest seemed to go fine. I guess HD is possible, if I did not make much calcualtion errors, if not I will have to settle for a D...

As for today's paper, History of Management Thought, I think overall, it went well. But not perfectly. Haha. I had to cut my last answer by around 20% due to lack of time. So I guess my timing was off by 5 minutes. But I guess since I elaborated ALL my other answers, most of them double what was expected, I think they should be able to pull up whatever I may have left out on the last question. Hopefully a HD. The only thing that worries me is that I did not circle which answers I did on the front page. I hope that does not deny me the HD(if I deserve it). If it does, I guess I will appeal, citing that the exam answer booklets were too short and thus I had to use 3 of them and tie them together (amazingly some people found 1 to be sufficient). So I wasted my time writing my name etc and tieing the booklets instead of circling the answers I attempted. Wait till the results are out (tentatively 4th June)...

So thats good bye to HMT, which while was taught by a cockster, is really a very fundenmental subject for any management student. So I find it irritating when someone in the course asks, why do we have to study this? Almost everyone asks that, possiblely because everyone failed the test. Very seldom do you question what you do when you are doing it well. To me, it is the foundation of 5 modules we will take till we graduate. It lays the foundation of what happened, why it happened and why we have things like Organisational Theory, strategic management and ethics. If any student can't see the value of these, clearly they have choosen the wrong course. Not that they cannot become managers or whatever in the future, but truely they don't deserve to call themselves management students. They should have done something that is more relevant to 'real-life', accounting or finance. Maybe this is what Shamir felt when he had some cock friends in his FSV course wanting to be prison officers. WTF are they in the course? Of course those who are lazy are another group all together.

Just left Mirco econs and entpreneurship. I am actually most worried about econs, not cause it is hard, but cos it is easy. Too easy. Too easy that anyone cock can do well in it, meaning to get the HD, have to score close to full marks! Entrepreneurship should be ok, just another memory subject. With half the class hailing from Indonesia, doing relatively better is not a huge problem.

Some good news, won the Earth Elemental. Paid $42 SGD for it, so maybe Tsang could pay $20 and the rest is a gift from me. ;)
Now to hunt for the hill giant...

Strait Times focus on a certain group

"Relax, don't be Stressed"
That was on the recruit page of the classifieds, guess the content was about going to a corner at work.

"The last 16 years was something of a yo-yo for ..."
Interestingly, the person in question was not 16 years old...

Dumtiddly dum dum dum.... TOODALOO!!!!

What have been the key effects of digital technology on the hundred-year-old music industry model?

This is a question I am getting sick of. I don't have to write an essay about it, thankfully. But I do have to find 10 resources, describe them and give a conclusion.

So Tsang, maybe you will be interested in the articles I have found so far. Hahahaha. When I have done all 10 and summarised them I shall copy and paste the links for you, though I think you won't be able to look at the journal articles coz I get access to the full text through RMIT.

Its been a terribly long weekend because of this stupid assignment. AND TOMORROW, a new week begins!! New project to start with too. It will be a more intensive half semester than the previous one has been. Kinda looking forward to it coz i feel it will be a mad rush right before the abyss of the holidays.

Shamir is beyond lucky

Some people ask for a car for their birthday, other for money or health, but Shamir got something more then he could imagine. Well, actually he had it coming.

He is going to get a Rambo 2 DVD!!!!!!! ULTIMATE EDITION, no less. With Survival mode and Early Warning System (EWS). This gift is beyond comparison. ;)

triple dot, or ...

Hello,

has been a relatively busy week and look, its April!

haha, had 2 assignments due and a test over the week, been busy at that...
now all my classes are over, exams are in 3 weeks time, stretching till 12th may...
will be 'free' after that, but still planning alot of things to do...

in the week after my exams, need to complete the planning for group camp and also want to do the recki for the planned cycling trip in dec. 3,4 days for that. want to work out the details for the cycling trip also

the on the weekend onwards, will be looking at the feasibility of setting up an online retail venture, looking at selling custimized outdoor stuff. venture with jj and alex. so should it be found to be feasible, want to get it up in that week itself, think it is possible, but just abit cramped..

after that its late may, my cousin from austria, who has been in south america for like a 6 months holiday is coming, should see her for abit, together with troop camp.

late 3rd june going to aussie, for 2 weeks.

return from aussie, want to go for a 1st aid course, see if i can get into one then.

after that still considering whether i should go for the indo rover moot, seems like a decent deal, 10 days in somewhere near jakarta.

and what do you know, its a new semester!

haha, will be a hard and fast holiday, looking forward to it.
;)

just came back from kan seng's buttercup shop. not bad stuff he has on sale. shop is at s2, which is at novena. the crepe was good, so thats worth chewing on. he is quite busy, there 13 hours a day, so not expecting much from him in terms of scouting. wish him the best.

oh well, now i can just enjoy my study break! haha...

you guys should have felt the wind today. If not for my bulk i think i'd have been tossed around. Super funky!! quite funny to see people actually holding onto railings/fences just to walk...
