Of studies and trading

I have officially started to revise for the final examination due in 4 weeks time. Pretty early by any student's standards now eh? The more sems I go through, the more subjects of doom I have to take. This semester's subject of doom : Finance and Investment. Aside from the paper consisting 50% theoretical questions that are in multiple choice format, we have to deal with a negative marking system a.k.a anti tembaking system. Pick a right answer and you get 1 mark. Get it wrong, see 0.67 marks taken off your total marks now. The only way to deal with it is knowing your stuff, which I do not have a clue about at the moment, hence the early studying.

On a lighter note, my final assignment is due next week after the long Deepavali holidays. Hopefully I did trust the right people to get their parts done. I'm a very lax leader if I may say so. So lax that people generally panic at my approaches in solving things. I give you your part and you do it, I ain't gonna moderate you ala Asian education style. Anything unsatisfactory, I just change as I see fit. :) All this works for me so far cuz they get too scared to even slack (I hope).

Currently am contemplating on whether or not to sell of my trusty partner the NEC Versa E3100 (not Choong Pui San) that has served me the past 2 and a half years. After doing some research, its still worth a good sum of RM900 mainly because of the 2 hour battery life (can go up to 3 and a 1/2 without WiFi). Currently looking at the new Compaq's that come with, naturally, new processors and a discreet graphics card, the HD 3450. CoD4 on a lappie had never been better :p




Ain't she a beaut? Although it utilizes ye olde HP design lah.

Out of the storm into calmer seas

The storm is over...as far as I know it though. Its safe to assume that my part in the yearbook has been done and i feel that i stood to gain from this especially in the area of corresponding with different departments in college. No matter how big and well structured an organisation is, assuming it is efficient is a folly one must not take lightly. Larger organisations, more protocols.

The final hurdle for that hectic month was a double assignment due on the same day. It just had to fall on a Monday yes? Sunday was a self declared no sleep day for me as I took my time in doing the assignment while surfing the net the entire night. Actually managed to feel so calm and collected. The nostalgic (been using this a lot lately, thanks yearbook :p) gut feeling that everything will turn out right was there at that moment.

For now its two weeks siesta before the final assignment is due. I shall tell myself five times a day to study. I shall use the mosque's call to prayer as a reminder to study every time I hear it :p(except the one at 5 a.m lah). I shall do my best to get a high distinction in at least one subject this semester too. Work to improve myself and not cause I have to. It really sucks but I have to say, my teenage life is reaching the end of its lifespan. Time to grow up, Aaron.

Celebrating 20 with a bang...!!!

I was 20 years old just like that. A simple uneventful day made hectic by issues I have been continuously ranting about in my last 2 posts. There were moments that really lifted my day but even more weighing it down. A good start to the day was having the entire lecture hall sing me a birthday song randomly while I was fixing the computer link to the projector. They wanted to do it again during lunchtime at the crowded ground floor. Monkeys they are; love them I do. Thanks guys and girls.

What really made my mood plunge to oblivion that day was discovering how inept people can be especially when they are expected to be the most efficient body in the entire school. I was exposed to ridiculous amounts of red tape and protocols that could clearly be bent. How hard is it to sign a damn introductory message that was written FOR you? 5 seconds? Heck, I can even give 5 minutes but please don't delegate the bloody thing back to me lah. Why don't I just be the VIP myself then since i can write award winning, morale boosting, tear inducing messages whenever I fancy?

Good thing is, i pampered myself to a round of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare at the reliable Asia.Net. Although I was playing alone on a special day, its okay I said. The very next day was THE bomb. I discovered that i failed the assignment 1 of my Market Research much to everyone's surprise. The talk cock king has finally fallen. Semua orang suruh aku cari lecturer tu. Tapi I tak nak sebab I am fed-up with the current amount of shit to deal with. Indah Water treatment plants would officially be a pleasure for me to work in.

The 2 things that kept me sane all this while? My baby who is always by my side no matter what to give me the strength and tell me I'm HER man. The other being successfully applying for an internship at SP Setia. Just hope that's for real though.

Please please please dear God let me not post emofied posts anymore:(
