Results day

Finally feel like blogging my semester results in my blog. When I saw my results on handphone as I had subscribed the sms service from SP, I was really surprised because firstly, I do not expect my weakest and hatest module which is CRS to get a B+, that is so unexpected because I did not really do not know how to the essay.

Secondly, I am also quite surprised by my results in my ITAB module because as from my previous posts, I say that my project is not superior to other groups project. But managed to get an A which is so happy.

Here is my other results:

Last Day in Genting Highlands

Woke up around 7.30 because had to eat breakfast as early as possible so as to check out from the resort around 10.30. Went down to the same cafe as the previous day to tuck in pur breakfast. However, the food is still the same as the previous day which does not whet my appetite at all. Forced myself to ea he food as I think that I am going to have a late lunch because of the journey Malacca to eat at a famous Nyonya restaurant which my uncle recommends.

After eating, went back to the resort to take a rest as the journey to Malacca is going to take around 2 to 3 hours which is so long.

After packing all our things, we checked out from the resort punctually. However, we have to wait our relatives to pack their belongings at the other resort in our car. After all the people have assembled, we set out together to Malacca. However, after reaching there, we got lost along the way and we could not find the location of the restaurant. Therefore, my uncle have to check their GPS to check out the exact location of the restaurant. After finding the location, we found out the restaurant is closed and would not open until around dinnertime. That is a pity for us not to taste the food there. Settled to eat at a hawker centre there and we ordered a lot of there such as bak ku teh and chicken rice and lots more. The food there is cheap and nice which is much much better that SIngapore hawker fare. Afer eating our hearts content, we separated our own ways to shop around the stalls and shopping there. Did not managed to buy anything there.

After shopping, we decided to go back to Singapore. Along the way, I slept in the car. After passing all the Customs, we managed to reach home at around 9pm.

Comments on Genting trip: As this is my first time going to Genting, I have widened my scope and my knowledge as this is my first time going overseas and out of Singapore. However, my only regret is that I cound not play at the theme park there and the place is not handicap friendly at all as there are a lot of staircases and obstacles along the way. I hope to go there for a holiday again to enjoy the cool weather there and escape from the stressful and boring environment of Singapore.

Tomorrow is my unveiling of my results. Hope that I can pass my modules(especially CRS) and graduate to year 2 smoothly. Wish good luck for me :)

2nd Day of Genting Highlands trip

Woke up around 5.30am in the morning because I can't sleep in the previous night. Decided to play my uncle's PSP while waiting for my parents to eat the complimentary breakfast in the First World Cafe in our resort.

After changing, went to the cafe for breakfast. I will have to say that there are quite a variety of food there such as Chinese and Western breakfast such as beehoon and hotdog and eggs respectively. Took a lot of food there as we are too famished. Although the variety is quite varied, but the taste of the food is only average. I have one complaint there which is that there are too many people there and they are taking the breakfast buffet like they have not eaten for days. They are like refugees. Haha and some of the people there do not have any courtesy, giving way to me and my parents. They treat us like a glass sia.

After eating, decided to call my brother where he is as he is not in our room. Found out that he is at the casino trying their luck. Haha. Decided to join them and win money there. However, I have lost my brother's credit and money in the jackpot game.

After that, my relatives decided to bring their children to the theme park. My brother decided to accompany them to theme while their parents wanted to go to casino. Went along with the theme park with them. The tickets for me are free as I am handicapped and my father only needs to pay RM20 to play the games there. However, after entering the theme park, I cannot play the games there as it will be too dangerous for me. So decided to walk the theme park around to see whether there are any nice places to go around.

However, we cannot contact my mother, bro and my relatives as they never listened their phones. So in the end, went back to the resort to have some rest as I am feeling sleepy because of waking up too early. After sleeping for two hours, went to see the casino whether they are there anot but to no avail. By the way, thanks to the security there as he helps us to call our relatives because my father do not have auto roaming. However, with the pressing of buttons by the security guard, we managed to contact them. Decided to meet up with them to discuss our dinner location after knowing where they are. However, after finding out that the food are so expensive there, decided to go to the same restaurant as the previous day.

After eating our dinner, we decided to catch on the a show called Dreamz in the the Pavilion where we had ordered tickets the previous day. My comments for the show are that it is nice and enjoyable as there are dangerous performances in the show such as motorsports and the unveiling of white tiger and lion there. This is my first time witnessing the animals which is so beautiful. After discussing with my parents and relatives, we decided to take photo with animals as each photo costs at least RM30 which is so expensive.

After catching the performance, decided to have a early sleep to have our batteries recharged for tomorrow's programme when we will go back home and stop by Malacca to have our lunch.

Tomorrow will be my last entry on the last day of the stay in Genting Highlands and Malaysia. Cya tml

Day 1 of Genting Highlands trip

I am going to update for three days on my genting highlands trip in last weekend. I am going to say out my Day 1 of my Genting Highlands trip in this trip. Here it goes:

Have to wake up really early in the morning to get in Malaysia without having to experience the packed traffic jam in the Causeway. But first my parents had to collect my mother's passport which had to be extended which is so last minute. In the end had to reach the Causeway late to meet our relatives to go in to Genting together as my father do not know the directions to Genting which is why I decided to go Genting with my relatives because of the queue in the passports office.

After meeting our relatives, we decided to go to Genting straight away as it will be a long and treacherous journey when reaching our destination. However, after passing Singapore Customs, we got lost on the way because of the wrong directions given by my uncle. Waste a lot of time finding and searching my uncle's location. However after keeping in contact with him, we finally went to Genting together.

Decided to stop by A & W to eat our lunch. We ordered a lot of things such as onion rings, burgers and waffles ice cream to share the food together. Find the food there not very appetising and delicious as I think that the food there is overcooked.

After eating our lunch, decided to continue our journey. Decided to take a nap and rest at my car as I felt too tired while travelling in the car. The journey to our destination took at least 6 hours to finally our place and take a rest there.

We decided to check in at the First World hotel/resort as my uncle have already booked a room there. After taking our rooms, we find that the place is so cold that we do not need to switch on the aircons and fan there. Feel like blowing air con there. We stayed at the 20th view which gives us a splendid view of the scenery there. But the scenery there is mostly covered by mist there as the resort is high up in the mountains.

Around 7, decided to have our dinner at the mushroom restaurant near our resort. My relatives ordered a lot of dishes there which include chicken and much much more. After eating our dinner, I decided to go to casino to try my luck there as I maybe will have beginner's luck there(LOL). When I reached the casino, decided to play the jackpot as my family do not wanna gamble big there and lose a lot of money there. After playing a few rounds, I really win some money but in the end because of the addiction of gambling, my profits have dropped to RM4 which is so little as to compared to RM8 previously. LOL, so advice to all: do not gamble too much or else you will lose a lot and regret. Haha

After playing a few rounds in the casino, decided to go back sleep at our respective resort rooms and sleep and will play our heart's content tomorrow.

Will be updating of my Day 2 of my trip to Genting tomorrow. Cya tml:)

Boring Holidays

Although holidays have started for me, but I really felt so uneventful and so boring during this holidays. No jobs, no outings, no good shows to watch. This really frustrates my nerves. This few weeks, I have spent my holidays watching movies in my Miotv and watching dramas in my latop. I have to say that Mio tv is quite boring as there are bery few channels to enjoy unlike StarHub cable which has so many nice channels and EPL matches. Miotv only broadcasts Seria A matches which is not so popular in Singapore and the matches are so late that I decided to sleep instead of staying up late to watch the matches.

In 26/2/09 thurs, I spent the afternoon going with my friends to Marina Square. The food there are so expensive that we do not what to eat during this recession period(Man,this is economics again). However, we have decided to eat at Billy Bombers Restaurant. However, the serving of the food is quite small compared to the last visit I went with my bro and his girlfriend. However, because of some things, I had to go back early instead of watching a movie with them.

During these few days of watching stephan chow movies, I really feel that he is really hilarious and funny in his potrayal of his character. Our local director, Jack Neo and his J Team really pales in comparison compared to him. Stephan Chow is really my idol!!!

Ending of this post. I think I have nothing to write these few days and few weeks unless something significant happens during this holidays.

PS: Zhenyu, can you please organize a class outing asap!!! Really hope to have a fun time together with my DAC06 mates

Holidays are at last here!!!!

It is time to celebrate because the exams are at last over. Like I said in my previous entry, after my projects had ended, I did not have time to rest but to revise for my exams. Been feeling really tired during the exam period as the chapters are so much and heavy on my brain. It is just like reading a dictionary. Haha, that is serious.

During this exam period, I spent a lot of time revising Economics as this is the most difficult module to score. I feel really relieved when I do the paper as I can attempt almost all the questions which is so lucky for me as I expect this paper to be the most difficult of all papers.

Next up is the Principles of Accounting paper. Man, of all the modules, this module is the most confident paper of all as I have experience of doing PACC during my secondary school years. Least did I expect this is the most difficult paper that I ever attempted when studying PACC. The questions are so tricky that if I miss a detail, I would get the whole question all wrong. I really need to pray to ensure that I can get an A for this paper.

The last paper which has just ended this morning, the Statistics of Business paper. This exam is fairly easy but also tricy but not as difficult as the Principles of Accounting Paper. However, I screwed up the last question which constitutes 10% of the paper. This is like so sian as I really know how to do this question but I just screwed up on this when I divide the significance by 2.

Shall not elaborate the CRS and MOB paper as I feel that I really did not feel very confident of scoring for this two papers. Can I really get a GPA of 3.5 this year???? I will pray day and night to get my desired result. Haha

Well after my last paper ended, I went out with my friends to chill out and watch movies in Jurong Point. Been feeling puzzled about which movie to catch but finally decided on the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Although this movie is very long-winded, I felt that this movie is really touching and meaningful and it has some funny moments especially the part where an elderly say that he had been struck by lightning 7 times and the movie will show how he is being struck by lightning when he is young. All those scenes are really funny. Haha

Although the exams are finally over, I really have to ponder how to pass this 3 months wisely and meaningfully. Am I going to watch online shows on my laptop everyday?? This is like so sian. Really hope that I can manage find a job this upcoming holidays.

I am going off now. Bye and take care and those having holidays at this present moment, treasure your holidays. Haha

Had a GREAT TIME today

I would have to say today is the happiest day since starting poly life. This is because today is our class gathering. I would have to say that we had a really good time today with laughs and happiness around pizza hut.

During economics tutorial, when everybody is feeling really sian because it is a 8am lesson, one of my classmates Sze Gek suggested to Zhenyu our class chairperson that we should go and spend the $7.50 on pizza hut because if we do not spend it, it will be sort of like forfeited so why not spend it today since we had a two hour break before PACC lecture as the economics lecture is cancelled. At first, I felt that I am going to do nothing during the four hours of break today(there is an additional two hours break while waiting for our CRS make up lesson). This is like so sian because today is friday and we should enjoy this day since it is the last day before the weekends. I even suggested to Pearlyn and JJ to go subway later after the PACC lecture. But we feel that Sze Gek's suggestion is quite good and clever since we should make use of Singapore Poly money.

When we reached pizza hut, it was at first closed. So we decided to play cards in Foodcourt 5 since we had nothing to do. After the pizza hut opened, we started ordering what we wanna eat. But we had so many disputes and disagreements with regards to whether which pizza we should choose. We even made the auntie wait for so long lol. Even the auntie expects this will happen to us. HAHA!!! We decided to order the group set lunch and some also ordered pastas and baked rice. We still had the balance after ordering our group set lunch(as 10 of our classmates never come so we used to their share to spend together lol). So we decided to order drumlets and garlic bread to spend i lol.

Although we ordered a lot of food, there is still a lot of leftovers. So we decided to play the game like CodeBreaker to punish the people to eat the leftover garlic bread and drumlets. We even had a jackpot in that there is also a leftover pizza. After the game ends, I am very lucky that I did not eat anything because I cannot eat too much and I am very full at that time lol. In the end, Pearlyn eat the most garlic bread(I think she will have a phobia of eating garlic bread liao. Haha) and Sutra eat the leftover drumlets and of course Zhenyu hit the jackpot. LOL

After eating all the food and all the punishments, we proceeded to attend the PACC lecture. The lecture is like so empty and I have to say I did not pay full attention to what Mrs Sharon Tan is speaking because we were always laughing about Connie(Haha,if we wanna know who is Connie,just give me a message). After the PACC lecture ended, we decided to go the BizIT library to rot the rest of the two hours. We also met Sze Gek and Zixin in the library which is so coincidental lol. We gossip about Wu Bai and his songs "你是我的花朵“ his dance steps and lyrics so damn hilarious lol.

However, I am dealt a bad news during the CRS make up lesson that Ms Ann never managed to see my essay. So I had to reluctantly do it again lol. Sian sia.

By the way, today is Sutra's birthday. Happy Birthday!!!!! and I should blame Zhi Neng for always saying today is not his birthday but it is indeed his.

Need to chiong through my MOB tml and it;s late now. Need to sleep liao. Good night and take care everybody
