round four
yes this is an update of my life.
yet another core paper. my 4th final exam paper but 2nd core paper. well, this module is known for its steep bell curve but i got to say the level of difficulty is slightly higher than i would have expected. nonetheless, i did my best though soon after i realised i made a number of mistakes. ohh well.. what is done is done. the next paper is also my last paper and it is only on Tuesday. time to catch a little break before preparing for it. until next time then, cheers.

round three
yes this is an update of my life.
it has been a while since i have to write so many words in an examination. the only time i wrote more than what i have written earlier today was probably during my core literature examinations during O levels. man, those were the days of struggle. but today was my Singapore Studies paper. naturally.. essay writing as well. 2 hours to write 3 essays. i knew it was impossible but i tried my best i guess. no regrets.. a relief.
another thing that caught my attention today was something that happened right after the examination. while everyone was busy walking out of the hall and discussing about the paper, numerous cleaners came in immediately. without any delay, they started dusting the tables as they strolled down the many rows of tables and chairs. some went to erase the marker ink on the whiteboard. wow.. i didn't know they do that to examination halls until today. thank you.
the next two papers will be my core papers. can't wait for finals to be over.. or at least tomorrow morning's paper. i can afford to take a short break before studying for the final paper happening next Tuesday. until next time then, cheers.

round two
yes this is an update of my life.
there, the 2nd paper done. also the most content-heavy module ever. so glad that marketing is over.. still in doubt if i will ever take another marketing module. well, to be honest i feel a pinch of regret for not focusing on all the details in my notes. yeah, the level of difficulty of the paper was kind of expected but i thought i might have the chance to actually do a little more for it. but ohh wells.. not much a point to dwell over it for too long.
i can feel a significant amount of energy being used today. the paper tomorrow require me to not only think fast but also write fast. i hope all will turn out fine. until next time then, cheers.

round one
yes this is an update of my life.
first paper done. first core paper as well. well the difficulty of the paper wasn't that much of a surprise. considering the poor performance i had with this module during the midterms, i really hope its final paper can help me pull my grades up. most important thing is i walked out of the exam venue without any regrets of knowing i could have done better. i tried my best.. that's what matters.
on to the second one tomorrow then. marketing module. until next time then, cheers.

fight gear
yes this is an update of my life.
about 24hours left before the start of my first paper. but i prefer to look towards what is happening in 9 days' time.. the end of finals.. haha. sickening weather over the last few days have deterred me from studying efficiently.. nonetheless, i've tried my best.
i always aim to take on a paper with one goal. the goal being walking out of the exam hall without regrets. i may be sad or demoralised whenever i face a tough paper but i never want to walk out with regrets. what regret, you ask? i don't want to walk out feeling that i could have done better or more.. be it during the week of revision or during the duration of the paper itself. my main goal is to try my best. results might be the end product of a module but i know i can expect myself to score perfectly a the end of the day. not being pessimistic but realistic. i know where i stand. i just want to make do with putting my heart into whatever i do.. just doing my best.
yeah, my fight gear is on. this week will be a little hellish with 4 papers in 4 days. until next time then, cheers.

minute of rest
yes this is an update of my life.
in a blink of an eye, the end of reading week is near. Thursday already and i thought Monday was just yesterday. one week isn't enough for a reading week. sleep, play, study. choose two. one does not have time to do all three together given the limited time. if one only sleep all week, one is bound to be unprepared for the finals. this case is similar when one chooses to play only. if one chooses to study only, one is probably more stressed than anyone or halfway to insanity.
so, naturally i chose play and study. study almost the entire day to dinner time. following dinner, chilling most of the time. watching shows, catching up on social media, aimless internet surfing. as much as i try, i force myself to have sufficient rest but sadly this proved challenging. still, i am still standing.. haha. really cannot wait for finals to be over. then again, i hope the half a week rest before the start of my internship will last longer.
yes, some might think i am crazy but this is what i want.. no regrets (other than the low allowances). the company has email-ed me couple of stuff to read through before the orientation workshop. on a slightly happier note, i have a friend who will be my colleague as well. the world is small. gosh, every minute of ret counts. until next time then, cheers.

scorch
yes this is an update of my life.
no, my alcoholic friends, the title isn't "scotch" from the scotch whiskey.. it is "scorch" as in the scorching sun. yes, the weather is killing me. been living with the headache for quite some time now. the entire weekend probably see me having one most of the time. there are many types of headache but the one i am having now is for sure due to the heat and humidity.
weather ohh weather please tone down a bit. the heat is too much for anyone to actually enjoy going outdoors. hell, even staying indoors doesn't work now. stay hydrated, people. until next time then, cheers.

solemn
yes this is an update of my life.
okay it is time to sit for the next few minutes, undistracted, blogging about my life. finally have the urge to say something here. first things first, i had a good news yesterday afternoon. remember quite a few posts back i mentioned about and internship that pays slightly less than i hope for and me heading to the interview for it? well, i got it. i got the offer. to be honest, i had really mixed feelings, though i think positive emotions triumph slightly over the negative ones.
let's say negative ones first. one, i was told during the interview that heavy knowledge of Microsoft Excel is needed for the internship. my knowledge on it isn't that great but nonetheless, internship is all about learning anyway. furthermore, i can crash course on it during the short break after the finals before starting in the internship. two, i don't know why i feel a little fearful about it. i understand the workload expected but in the end i still cannot really predict what will happen and what to really expect. i've heard horror stories from internships but i hope i don't myself into one. guess i have to wait until i really start doing work to find out. three, limited free time. considering the long working hours and the number of tuition classes i have to give.. 7 days probably will give me at most 1 day of rest. i really hope i can cope and juggle things that matter in my life well.
so, on to the positive side. one, experience and learning. i have always been rather curious and excited about how what i am studying can be used in the outside world. i guess this will be an introduction and first step of trying. two, reducing expenses. while the travel fares might be terrible, the meal costs would be cheaper i guess.. considering i'll heading to school to work.. haha. furthermore, with such a busy schedule, i won't be easily tempted to go out and spend like crazy. no time.. lol.
yeah, while the number of negative points are more than positive ones, they can be handled and i will be handling them soon anyway.
moving on, i got a sad news from fatbro last night as well. i learned that a junior of mine, his peer, has passed away couple of days back. apparently he spent his 21st birthday in a hospital before his body gave up. really sad but this came as a reminder that life can be really unpredictable.
reading week is up next. hopefully i can sprint in this final lap and end the sem, and the academic year, on a high note. until next time then, cheers.

what assessments
yes this is an update of my life.
the numerous CAs that were spread across over the course of the semester have been done with. that's right, after today, i have cleared all the necessary projects and individual assignments. what left now is the final paper for each individual module. 5 modules, 5 exams. been quite a while since i last face this scenario. nonetheless, i hope i have the strength and power to push through until 3rd of March.
in the mean time, not to worry, i shall continue to update here every now and then. like i said before, here is a nice place to ease my mind too. all the best to you all out there as well. until next time then, cheers.

for experience
yes this is an update of my life.
intended to update here earlier today but it slipped my mine until now, when i am having a stomachache.. lol. probably a blessing in disguise. so as i wait for my stomach to work its magic and heal, i shall update here.
it is scary to know that the end of this semester and the end of this academic year is near. what is even scarier was the interview i had earlier. so after countless application sent out, i've managed to have an interview with one of the companies i applied for. it has been quite a while, roughly 3 years, since i last had an interview experience. so, naturally today felt a little scarier than i hope for. nonetheless, i was glad to be able to answer the questions asked calmly though nervousness took away some of my basic grammar.. lol.
anticipating the amount of workload and amount of expectations then looking at the allowance they offer, i decided to go with the notion that internship is "for experience".. nothing else. after all, i would not want to start work after i graduate and be thrown off by these kind of stuff.. better to learn during internships. fingers crossed now. until next time then, cheers.

Negan
yes this is an update of my life.
so caught the final episode of the latest season of "The Walking Dead". just as many have anticipated, the super badass character, Negan, appeared towards the end of the episode. got to say the final episode is really nice considering how they bring forth this new villain into the series. audience can get the taste of the fear and power he brings within the short period he was starred. nonetheless, i really cannot wait for the next season of the show. long wait. until next time then, cheers.

real meaning of Sunday
yes this is an update of my life.
under such times of high level of stress from the amount of work and assignments at hand, i'm glad i got forced in a way to hang out with my family for almost the entire Sunday. well, that is the real meaning of Sunday i guess.. family day. it has been a while. since i have spent so much time with them over the weekends. in fact, yesterday as well.
finally head over to grandma's place ever since CNY. man.. unfilial grandson but ohh wells, i'll try harder, i promise. her house has a new inclusion.. a maid. i am actually sad and happy at the same time. i am sad because employing a maid means that my grandma is so old that she might not be able to take care of herself. her children, being my uncles and aunts, have always been looking out for her and what not. i know some would actually take turns to sneak out of work to get her lunch and afternoon snacks and what not. however, one cannot expect them to be on watch out for her 24/7. recent incidents that occured when she was alone gave us countless scares and i guess having a maid by her side is logical. this brings to why i am happy. i am happy because we can feel a little more relieved and secured that grandma is in safe hands 24/7. really want her to be with us for as long as possible.
today my family decided to travel to the west to visit relatives. upon knowing of this decision, i had to make mine. to follow them or not. if i didn't, i know i would have to head back to campus on my own in the evening. so being lazy and sacrificing precious revision time, i followed them as i was lazy to travel to campus alone. yeah, judge me all you want but i was glad to have made this decision. had good time meeting my favourite aunt and cousin and nephew before heading our for a decent dinner. quality times like these are what i hold dearly on to. these times are few considering the lives we live today. i hope you all had a good weekend as well. until next time then, cheers.
