Exam dates are out. First paper is on 25th April, Accounting, followed by Marketing and Macroeconomics on the 6th May and 8th May respectively.

Wednesday has always been the same routine, same lecture, but not for today. Reached school half hour before the class, perhaps it was too early and I was the only person in the lecture hall.
I'd prepared all the assignment questions for today's lecture, keen to check with the lecturer's answers.
5 minutes past two, the lecture commenced. For the next hour, everything went smoothly until 2 ladies seated two rows in front of me giggled. The lecturer felt disturbed and he stopped the lecture. WTF!

He said he has his own principles for lectures, and don't like to be disturbed. Yes he has his own principles, but just because of 2 ladies who giggled and he gave up teaching the rest of 80 over students?
He could have just kindly asked that 2 ladies to step out of the lecture room and continue with his lesson. Because of that, he played the Commanding Heights video, a series of legend economists' history.

After the break, most of us thought that he would continue teaching. Instead he insisted in playing the video. He rather screened 2 hours of video than teaching what he was supposed to teach. Those series of video I can also watch it at home at my own leisure.

Wasted my time and money! If I knew that today's lecture will turned out to be like this, I rather stay at home and do self-study.
That econ lecturer is absolutely petty. Yes absolutely PETTY!

I will prove him wrong that even without his amateur teaching method, I can score well for the major exam.
Watch out for my exam results.



P.S.: you are a lecturer, so what? but you are petty!

After 2 weeks of rest, the scheduled Saturday soccer training is back at usual place again. It was the usual training session, but this morning the sun was scorching hot. I had to give myself breaks after few minute of action.
Now I am becoming tanned, and sooner or later I'll be joining Steve's clan.

I hate crowds. Yes, I hate it so much that I had to squeeze through the crowds at the IT show. If not because of my sister who wanted to buy laptop, I will not even consider going to the IT show today. That's me!

Majority of the train commuters are lack of proper courtesy. If anyone of you were to take train at any station, you will probably still see situation whereby alighting passengers having difficulty alighting the train. Why?
Reason being majority of the boarding passengers squeeze their way through the cabin gates without allowing the alighting passengers to alight. Worst of all, even some of the working adults are doing the same at train stations. They should be matured enough to have that basic consideration. Shame on them!

These few days hasn't been sleeping well. I'm dead beat after training session. I want to get back my rest.

Macroeconomics test 1 result is out. 8 out of 15, marginal pass.

I am always keen on attending Monday’s accounting lecture, apart from the morning rain.
My accounting lecturer, Daniel Tan, will always infuse the class with enthusiasm in accounting. At times he will also crack jokes to lighten up the taxing environment.

By far he is the only lecturer who is willing to make that extra effort in making everyone understand the topics. He even came out with his own explanation in a table format.
Compared to econ lecturer, Daniel is way better than him in every aspect. Really appreciate what Daniel teaches, am so fortunate to have him as my accounting lecturer.

Macroeconomics test 2 is on Wednesday. Definitely must get better result than test 1.
Back to econ textbook and notes.

Went KTV with Js, Gerard, Steve, Zell and it was hell lots of fun. Despite the fact that it started raining when we were about to reach, but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Everyone was very ‘high’ when the song, 你是我的花朵 was played. We sang along and followed the dance moves, especially during the chorus ‘喔...你是我的花朵’. LOL!

After KTV session, we met up with Jason at POMO centre (formerly know as Paradiz Centre) for dinner. We went Ishi Mura, a Japanese themed food court. If you don’t mind average Japanese food at reasonable price, this is the place you should go.

Wednesday is macroeconomic test 2. Whatever it takes I want to score for the test.

This dog was hit by a car, and as a reason both of his front legs were amputated. Tragically he could have been put down because it is impossible to find adopters for him, but this dog has strong survival perseverance.

Fortunately a dog trainer adopted and trained this dog. Within 10 days, this dog is able to get on his feet again with his two back legs.

Having a pet requires commitment, think twice before you own any pet.



Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish

Trial over and I am not selected.

Before I left the house started raining and it totally spoilt my mood. Hate raining days!
It was a long journey to the campus, and reached there at 640pm. I was late.

Changed up and shortly after the selection started. They assessed us on technical skills and shooting.
It may seem easy, but once you get to try it is not that easy at all.
For the shooting section I managed to score a goal and the other hit the bar.
The trial section ended with ball possession and I was dead beat after that.

Among all those who went for the selection, only a few were selected. I have to admit that it was a fair assessment.
There is always someone who is way better than you in any aspect, for that reason I am not despair. Will keep on practicing and improve myself.
There will be another selection in July. Will I try again? Perhaps!

Last Saturday night I was on a bus way back home. Just before the Toa Payoh flyover, Jason and I were perplexed by a middle-aged lady who stood in the middle of the road.
At first we thought that she was caught in the traffic, trying to cross the road.
Instead she was trying to hitch a ride from oncoming vehicles. Frightening!
Her insane act caused all the oncoming cars to slow down, but fortunately a kindhearted driver stopped the car to give her a ride.

I am certain that my accounting test will get relatively good results. Upcoming will be macroeconomic test 2, followed by marketing.
Promised myself to attain good results for econ test 2 even though I extremely dislike that lecturer. I am not going to allow my overall results get affected by his inconsistent teaching methods.
Next semester he will be teaching 1 of my modules again. Noooo…!
