Looking back in time...

Last Friday was the SKTS reunion at SS2 Murni. It was nostalgic moment then when I met those whom I spent 6 years with in primary school. Couldn't recognise some of them as it has been more than 5 years since I last saw them. Fortunately, I was able to recognise familiar faces such as Jessica, Wei Guan, Joshua, Gloria and a few others. However, all of them seem to be able to tell who I am with one look (have i not change in the past 5 years?) while I have to think for a long time in order to place the names to the faces. Even worse, when they talked back about the old times during primary school, I couldn't even remember most of the people and happenings. Maybe my memory isn't so good or maybe I subconsciously choose to forget it all cause of an event which happened before the end of school. Nevertheless, it is indeed good to see all of them again and I am looking forward to meeting up in the future.

Before the reunion, I went to an orphanage with my college mates. When we reached there, the person in charge was asking who is the leader and somehow everyone pointed at me (I didn't have a clue about it since i thought Janice was the leader) including Janice and I had to lead them all during the activities. It was a fun filled day with the children there and each of us have to sorta take care of one or more child throughout the session. Although conducting the activities were hard due to the 'guardians' too busy entertaining the children and not listening to the instructions which they are supposed to translate to BM for their respective child, most of the games were carried out successfully.

Classes have been pretty hectic nowadays. Lecturers rushing through syllabus (T9 - Miss Joyce) and there are lecturers who still have time to joke around and do 1 question during class only (T6 - Mr Jana). This week is progress test week. From Wednesday onwards, I'll be having progress test for each paper until Saturday. This means I'll have to work my ass off in order to score an average of at least 75+ marks for each paper. How I miss the times when I just need to revise a little and only aim to pass the papers. Thus, I'll have to get back to my books now...

Holy Shit!!

And i don't mean getting 'beyond godlike' in DotA.

Results was out on Monday and it was indeed a whole new experience for me. Never before have i feared getting back my results as much as this time. It is partly due to the fact that i could be wasting 6 months repeating the paper and not advancing and also due to the lecturers stressing on how much we'll have to pass everything in first attempt as the syllabus will be changing next year.

At around 12.45, my tax lecturer, Miss Joyce, suddenly announced to the class that the results are out after reading a sms. Immediately most of the class got excited and couldn't concentrate. As there is no point trying to teach a bunch of nervous, anxious students, she decided to let us off at 1.30 (1 hour earlier). Quickly, a bunch of us rushed to the library and tried to check our results.

Managed to get hold of a computer with decent internet connection and got to the acca website. There was like 4-5 people crowding around me as i typed in my reg number and password to check for the results. Logged in and....Saw that i PASSED every paper.

Paper Details: T3INT Maint Fin Recs
Result: Pass
Mark: 73
Paper Details: T4 Acc for Costs
Result: Pass
Mark: 75
Paper Details: T5 Mng Pple & Sys
Result: Pass
Mark: 40

I just got enough marks to pass my T5. 1 more mark lost and I'll have to resit the paper again. Thank god.

I am very satisfied with my marks(as i didn't expect to pass all the papers). However, Miss Joyce somehow find my marks very shitty and lectured me in front of the entire class the next day (saying something about me wasting my talent and that i should be getting 80+ marks for T5). I just sat there right in the middle of everyone while she was directing everything towards me. Oh well, guess I'll have to get at least 80 marks for her paper or else I'll have to endure more from her.

Joy and despair....

Well, lets see. I've gotten myself a brand new gaming computer to be place in my room for just a mere RM 4k which includes everything from the monitors right down to the speakers. The specs are not too shabby (4 gig ram and a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512mb graphic card). Basically this computer allows me to multitask while I play the latest games. And this new machine of mine has been taking up almost all the time I have at home. Perhaps I should cut down on the gaming attitude already and focus on more important things.

Exam results will be coming out on the 18th of August and I'm 70% sure that I'm gonna fail Paper 5. Mentally preparing myself to accept the fact that for the first time I'll be failing in something. I've never experience failure before and I'm not sure how I'll be able to face it. Maybe its time that I've to come face to face with the feeling of failing something as I would be experiencing it sometime later in my life anyway. Better now when I can still learn and try again than later when its all too late to retry it.

By the way, I got hooked onto a Korean band (thanks to Wen Hong) called SNSD or Girl's Generation. Well, their songs are not bad and they all look ok (except for a few who are exceptional), which is why i got attracted to their group. Although I might not be an obssesive fan (like someone i know), I'll probably only download their songs and listen to them occasionally and include them into my playlist. I'll include a MV on one of their songs (Into the new world) at the end of this post.
