Finally a new post

At last there is new entry in my blog after so many months of inactivity. Feeling very stressed with tutorials and tests piling up daily on my schedule(which explains my inactivity in this blog). Just finished my two CAs recently which is FACC and CACC. This two paper is a killer. Most importantly. our CACC lecturer really sets papers very hard. However, I really find it challenging while doing his paper which makes it so quite enjoying(weird of me).

Recently just went to the pre-ITP briefing last Wednesday. The briefing is not boring at all with all the jokes and laughs while the speaker briefed on the ITP/ As expected, there is all the usual stuff during the briefing, calling students to be punctual and be polite and respectful towards colleagues and supervisor. Blah Blah. However, the most stupid part of this briefing is to write a letter to our placement company telling them what we study in our course.

I felt reall angry and frustrated these few days because of the school's decision to let me do the ITP in SP itself. Why can't they just find a company for me. Is it because I am a handicapped and they find it a nuisance to find me an external company? If this is so, this is really fucked up(but this is the reality of life anyway). The reason that I enrolled in a polytechnic is to experience what it feels like stepping out to society and work and not just stationed at a fixed place to learn what is required in the working world.

For those of you reading my blog, can you please advice me on what I should do for this dilemma. Should I accept the school's offer and do the ITP at school or should I insist on them finding an external company for me? Please say your advice in my tagboard

Holidays are boring :(

Rotting at home and doing nothing is really a torture for me. However, I finally went outside of my home to go out with friends and watch movie and went to see a few wheelchairs that I can consider purchasing.

Last wed, had my very first experience of watching a 3D movie in theatres. Wanted to watch Gamer first but the movie is M18 which means that seehong cannot watch the movie as he haven't reached the legal age. Decided to settle on the movie G-force. I felt that the 3D effects are quite real and it really makes you feel that you are in the movie itself. Overall, the movie is quite enjoyable. However, the only thing I do not like the movie is the absence of subtitles which makes me not able to understand some of the sentences spoken by the characters.

Last friday, went to SPD to see a few wheelchairs to decide which wheelchair to purchase and know which is the most affordable wheelchair available. Decided to settle on a wheelchair which enables me to wheel myself and use the motorised wheelchair function at the same time. Decided to meet at some other time to know the price of the wheelchair and the price of the current wheelchair installed with the motor.

The rest of the week is spent on working in my auntie's workplace and do some double entry work. Really felt tired for the first time which working in her workplace as I had do not have any first hand experience working in a company. But I had to admit that I learnt a lot of things while working in her workplace and really lets me know what is the experience of working in a company.

I am so puzzled and I faced a difficult decision as to whether to continue working on her company this coming weekend as I really want to take a rest and not stress myself out while in holiday mood(I know that's an excuse) or to just stay at home and rot all day. PS: To all my readers, can give me some advice on this issue. Thanks!!!!

Just received my results this morning. The results are within my expectations and I really hope that I can get better results next semster and try worker for my upcoming modules.

Got to go now and continue rotting. Haha. Bye :)

Holidays is here :)

Just finished exams last thursday morning. Feeling really elated and ecstatic that exams are at last over because I can stop burining midnight oil and wake up early to take the exams. Frankly speaking, the exam timetable really sucks. The reason is because every paper is scheduled at 9am which is so sucky and you will have to wake up early to prepare for exams. That really sucks!!!

The exams are manageable except the last paer which is so difficult and it really needs more than two hours to finish the paper. Mr Ng is so cold-blooded. Haha.

After exams had finished, went to take a break at pizza hut and enjoy a meal at last. The food at Pizza Hut really tasted nice for the first time(don't know what is the reason, maybe the elation that I felt after the exams had finished which makes everything taste so nice. Haha)

After that went back home to sleep and did not join my classrooms to chill outside. Really felt very tired and I just collapsed on my bed and just sleep which was so comfortable.

Nothing much to blog about other than exams. Holidays have started but I really do not have an idea what to do during the holidays excepts watching online shows in the web and just rot at home. LOL. Will be going out tomorrow to check out the motorised wheelchairs that is arranged by SPD. Hope I can find an ideal wheelchair :)

Going off now. Bye!!!!

Going to slug it out during these few weeks

Been busy with a lot of things after the term break has ended with projects and tests all piling up. Do not have time to take a breather and relax. Well, the next few weeks is a crucial week for me as the semester exams are coming up with a 50% weightage on the modules. This is do or die for me. That why I had to really slug it out these few last weeks and mug for exams.

By the way, had a refreshing change in the grouping doing the Fundamentals of Finance and Business Law project. Just got back our Finance project and the marks really surprised me. Good job guys. Frankly speaking, I did not contribute much for both these two projects so I have to really count my lucky stars if I really do well for these two projects. In short, I am a free rider for these two projects.

As compared to other groups, I am really lucky to have such motivated and hardworking group members who really contributed a lot to these two projects for example, junjie, sze gek and joey. Lots of thanks to them.

First paper is Fundamentals of Finance and last paper is cost accounting, I am really worried for two of my modules which are Taxation and Business Law. Taxation is difficult because of all those complicated reliefs and judging which relief that the individual is eligible to. Really gives me headaches. On the other hand, Business Law had a lot of facts to memorize which can really squeeze out all of my brain juices out. I really hope that my brain can be a hard disk with 1TB capacity to fill up all those facts and the concepts into my brain.

Wish me good luck for the exams. Haha.

Really hopes that justice can be served in this world.

Sentosa event rocks

The MST exam has finally ended and it is a really frustrating and traumatic week for me because all the papers are so difficult and it really sucks when you have to guess the answers when doing MCQ. And the final thing is although I did balance my balance sheet in FACC, but hell did I make a careless mistake. Really sucks when you have balanced but you are wrong because you have made a stupid and redundant mistake. Shall not harp too much on the MST papers because when you mentioned it, it really makes me so pissed.

Last paper is Thursday, after the cost accounting paper, we stayed back to discuss the sentosa outing on friday. Been really excited about this outing because this is officially our first outing since stepping into Singapore Polytechnic. But too bad a few of my classmates did not otherwise it will be very good. Decided on who brings what and what food to bring and what time to meet up.

Reached Sentosa really late aroud 12pm because I initially said that I am going to Sentosa around 10 to 11 smth but turned up really late for the outing, Sorry guys :(. Anyway, started eating all the sumptous food there. It really tasted nice especially the beehoon. Thank Sutra's Mum for cooking. After that played "Truth or Dare" with my classmates. Pearlyn talking a tree and zhenyu flirting with a fugl statue. Haha really very fun playing with them. While the others played soccer and resting on the beach, I chatted with some of my classmates.

Went home around 4 something and fetched my niece back home with my brother.

Note to DAC 06: All of you have really been great to organize this outing. This really made me more bonded with my class and I never regret going for this outing. You guys really gives me a sense of belonging to this class(so mushy but it is really true) and final words to all of you. You guys rocks big time!!! Really hope that every semester will have such a outing for all of us. Sounded really greedy. HAHA

Srudying exams during holidays is really sucky

Finally a new entry after one month of MIA. Been busy in the new semester with projects, tests and assigments all piling up. Finding really difficult to adjust from Year 1 to Year 2. Has I chosen the wrong course in Polytechnic?

Studying during the holidays to prepare for the MST after the holidays had ended. $ modules being tested but these 4 modules are really difficult to study especially Business Law with so much memorization work. Offer, Agreement, Arbitration and Mediation. Who the hell created Business Law, come out with so much chim words and difficult to understand law terms.

The other 3 modules needs mostly caluclation so there is not much to study, instead I really must practice a lot to get the format and the formulas inside my brain. Why are there no past year papers to let us practice??? Why should we do the tutorials again when we already do the tutorials during the term to prepare for lessons??? This is so crappy but just have to make do with doing the tutorials again.

After one week of holidays, I had only studied finished Chapter 1 of Business Law. Left with so many things to study but had no motivation to study at all with all the temptation of the laptop to play games and the television. Decided to call my cliques to study at SP next week so as to really concentrate on studying and not touch these things. I really have to curb these temptations and not like Adam and Eve in the Bible. HAHA

By the way on the last day of school, went to watch movie with my clique in Vivocity because we want to wind down before we pia for exams. Managed to catch the "Night at the Museum", find it really funny and amusing and so hilarious. But after watching Night at the Museum 1 which is shown n Channel 5 recently, I still prefer watching teh second series because it is so much more funnier. I had to rate this movie 3/5 because there are some parts that are so stupid and the storyline is not realistic at all. If you want to watch a movie to wind down and laught it out, you should catch this movie.

Had to go now. Bye!!!

Finally a new entry in this blog :)

Been really busy lately with all the assignments and upcoming projects. Also had to cope with the increasing demands of the module which is so difficult to understand and I had to really practice a lot to get all those formats and procedures in my mind. Take this morning for example, when I was doing the Financial Accounting tutorial, I made alot of mistakes when I was trying to do the full set of accounts. I even need to do one of my Balance in another new piece of paper as it is so messy. I really hope that I can get back the groove of doing the full set of accounts just like last year.

Another thing that I hate about this year is that there are still projects that needs to be completed for example the taxation project. When I read the requirements of the project, I was so sian because it is so difficult and it required a lot of research to get a high mark for this porject, not just a marginal pass. Really hope that I can overcome this difficult period as soon as possible and get good marks for this project.

Managed to catch X-men origins: Wolverine woth zhenyu and jj at GV Vivocity. At first I did not want to catch this movie as I do not like X-men series too much, but after watching this movie, I reallu find that this movie is indeed nice afterall which is different from other X-men series. I will definitely recommend this movie and I will rate this movie 4/5.

Nothing to update liao and I think I will post another entry when my project is completed and the holidays had started. Bye and cya :)
