its over!

yup. exams are indeed over! Dunno if I passed all of them, but we shall find out in 2 weeks time. At the moment, I don't give a shit about my results. Well, actually I do hope 2 of the subjects that I put time and effort into, will actually give me good results. and the last two... i dunno. A pass??? pls?

Anyway, how will I spend my holidays? who knows! Work possibly? Go out? Watch TVB? Though my holidays are cut short to 3 weeks cos I have to go and do a short course on 'wine' :) I'm going to learn about how to drink wine, their differences, where they are from ect ect. So that should be quite interesting.

For now, I'm just going to bum around home, clean and relax! I'm downloading a drama. "I'm Sorry, I Love You." A Korean drama which my friend told me to watch a while back ago. Of lately, for some reason, I'm getting into the whole 'korean' side of things. I enjoy listening to k-pop! It was k-pop which got my through the examination period. It sounds so catchy (even though I do not understand a word they sing... but sometimes they have english words here and there)...

Anyway, toodles! I'm going to do some houeswork!

1 down, 1 more to go

So disappointed in today's exam today. It was so hard! I was anticipating a similar exam like previous years. And in previous years, all the exams were pretty damn easy. It was do-able and it was possible to get 100% on it.

So why am I disappointed? Well, tbh, I'm not disappointed in myself and my performance, what I was more disappointed about was the fact that the lecturer set some outragous exam questions which made it impossible to do. At the end of the exam, everyone was turning around and bitch'ed how hard the exam was!! Compared to last year's paper, this paper would of probably been twice as harder? They were questions that we never came acrossed! And they were questions that were very tedious and difficult. Not a happy camper! But I did all the other questions and hopefully I computed them all correctly. Even the first question I stumbled on... but I eventually got it after leaving it out at the beginning.

I'll be honest with you. I was aiming for a 99 in the subject. I never got over a 95 before, let alone a 90... my highest came out of was Engineering Maths which I came close in breaking the 90 mark for the first time. But that was unsuccesful. But with this subject, I did so well in my assignments and test. I got 29 out of 30 marks overall. But now I have doubts in getting a H1 because of this exam. I was hoping I could crack the 90 mark for the very first time, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. On the other hand, if I did the subject last year, it would of been a different situation... life goes on!

I'm not disappointed in my performance. I reckon I faired alright! Considering there's an exam tomorrow that I had to think about as well. But I AM disappointed about not getting a 90+ for this subject...

I'm utmostly screwed for tomorrow's morning exam. :( Wish me luck!

what is considered bad??

Today during dinner I got into the discussion 'what makes someone a bad person'? with my parents. My parents started listing examples of their friend's kids saying they are bad because of such and such. Having known the people they were talking about myself I tried to defend them because I personally they are not really bad! One example they said this kid is bad because he lies to he's parents that he is going to tutor, but instead he uses the money that the parents gave the kid to tutor for other purposes. Then I was like...right, thats considered bad in your books? I just don't understand why that is bad. Well to some extent it is because you are stealing from your parent. But come on, who hasn't stole from their parents and lied to them? I can say I have. I remember I stole coins from the car to buy snacks when I was primary school. Prob because all the other kids have canteen snacks except for me. They don't know what other 'factors' out there that makes a bad person. So I started listing things like the kid takes drugs, having one-night stands and kills people. And my parents said, well those are extreme cases and if that happened to us we won't even consider the kid actually related to us at all. We will pretend that we never had that kid before. How loving is that? But what I was disgusted about them the most is that they talk about other people's kids and how bad their are without thinking whether there is another side to the story. Because all they are hearing are just the parents side and sometimes adults can exaggerate! *sigh* parents... they always think they are right. And when I try to tell them my point of view they stop me, and say no no no, that is not right, because I am right. Its probably because they listen to too much chinese radio and reading too many of those chinese books...

2 down, 2 left

I've done 2 exams already and have 2 left. one on thursday and one on friday.

thursday's one. I think i'll be okay once i get through the material and do some practice exam papars. we are allowed a cheat sheet so I can write stuff on it. so im not too worried about that. but I do want to do really well in it, since I've only last 1% in my assessment so far. so I want a decent mark for it. but the exam is worth 70%... :(

friday's is shitting me cos I dunno anything. I shall study some of friday's exam maybe later 2nite. its worth 80% and I'm a bit worried. cos its hard! :( But I shall try my best to pass it~

the first exam I did was probably the most important one. it was worth only 50% BUT BUT BUT... the marks for this subject will be contributed to my average to get into my Postgrad. So I had to do extraordinary well for it. I spent nearly 10 days studying intensely for it, covering all the dervations of forumalas and trying to understand everything. And what it turns out, none of that was examined :( what a total waste of time! but I think i did okay to get over 75? maybe 80+? who knows...

2nd exam which i did a few days ago. I think that went okay. I had a week to study for it, but i practically procrastinated for 4 days. it wasn't until after the 4 days I felt the "importantness" and how the exam was approaching. it was only a 2 hour exam and only worth 50%. I was smart. I only studied the sections that i thought it would be on the exam. Cos I remember the lecturer saying that there will be 9 topics that will be examined on the exam but we only chose 5. So I went through the course and drew out the 9 topics and then picked the 5 that I was most comfortable with. And (thanks God) that all the ones I picked were exactly on the exam XD! Although at times I went mind blank and didn't know what to write. But since it was a management subject, as long as it made sense, its logical and somehow complies with the theory we covered, then it will be partially right. Unlike maths where its either right or wrong, management you can bs your way through and still get marks. I answered everything and wrote like a crazy man. Wrote like 26-pages. But then again, I had massive writing and you know the exam books they have huge margins and lines. so in actual fact it ain't that much. But anyway, my hands was tired after the exam and I was so relieved I got that exam out of the way. I know I wont get H1, cos I didn't do well in my assignment during the year. But I know I did well enough to pass, and hopefully a decent mark too, not just a P.

Now I shall go and study. I dunno why, but it seems like throughout these weeks Ive been putting tvb first instead of studying. I'm really up-to-date and I'm loving the new sit-com with 李司棋, 黎耀祥 and 毛舜筠... and the other one with 林峯 & 楊怡. XD.

toodles...

hi

I told you I'll come back when I procrastinate... hehe!

Stories. I don't have stories to tell. My life is been really boring for the past week. I've been sitting in front of the computer intending to study. But that failed! Instead, I've started a new game on Facebook called My Empire. Pretty fun! Its a bit like SimCity. You know what SimCity is? Don't know then bloody wikipedia it! Maybe I should go to uni and study like everyone else... but nah, I'll just get even more distracted and I'll get tired when I come home. I'll just lock inside my bedroom and 'try' to study... Exam is on Friday. Been learning this subject from scratch. A bit worried... cos I need good marks on this subject to get into my postgrad nxt year! Yikes!
