Unexpected

Today, a lot of unexpected things happened.

For one, I thought I was gonna die for Comm theory, but in the end it turned out okay and I even came out 1 hour earlier. One thing I realized about the comm theory paper was that there were a lot of minor details that he questioned on, which makes me think of Bill's paper. I don't think I will fail this paper, and after doing the finals, I am hoping for at least a C+. It would be fantastic if it turns out to be a 'B'. Am not sooo ambitious to get a 'A' in Kannan's paper yet, since that seemed to be eluding me for all the subjects that I have taken with him.

Then, marks for advertising campaign was finally on e-learning and I have 50/60. Which is great, because I seriously think that I was sooo gonna fail. Since I was on the 50% dot and it means it's impossible to fail, there's no much worry about passing ad campaign anymore. Now I just have to aim for the grade that I want, which is at least a C+. That is sort of like a pre-req for my grades and so far, I am gladly to say that I haven't went lower than that. Mae and Eliza did fairly well in this sub as well, better than me, I have to say, so kudos! to the both of you. see! there's nothing much to worry about!! now all we have to do is aim for the grades that we want.

The next paper is consumer behavior, which is on Wed 4-6 pm, leaving me with a day break in between to study. For consumer, I am seriously aiming for a 'A-'. I really hope that I can get it, since now I am already holding 62% out of 70% of my marks. Bill calculated and counted that I could get the maximum of 14 wrongs ( I think) outof 60 questions if I want to get a 'A-'. It's not an impossible feat for me, but it means that I have to seriously concentrate on studying for consumer behavior. Considering the fact that I didn't listen to his lectures at all in class (spend the time day dreaming), hopefuly, I can grasp ideas from the text book itself. Like I say, it's not impossible, but it's gonna be difficult.

As for marketing, which is on Fri, 9 o'clock, I really don't have much hope for it anymore. I guess I am aiming for at least a B- now and hopefully I can get it since it will be totally depressing if I get lower than that. After all, it's my second time studying the same thing, with the same lecturer, using the same set of notes and textbook and the first time I got something that is the same as an A. I realize that if I study the same thing for the second time in different semesters, my grades tend to be lower. It was the same for Business, and now it's happening for marketing as well. I suppose it's because I lost the motivation to study for that subject.

Media writing? haha, let's not talk about that alright? I think I screwed up half the paper. Hopefully like what Mae say, she might be lenient cause it's a first year paper.

I guess that's all for now!!

It starts tomorrow

When I say 'it' i refer to this semester's final exams.

My first paper is tomorrow, at 12.30. Really sucky because it's a sat and I wanna sleep in!!

adding on the fact that I have no mood whatsoever to study for media writing that is tomorrow makes it even worse. And I have no idea what to study at all because when I think of media writing, I think of writing! and can anyone tell me how do one study writing other than reading???

So yeah, I am sort of screwed for media writing unless i can crap some quality stuff out for the paper tomorrow. i have an idea on how to write news and I really hope that is sufficient.

This is one of the consequences for not attending classes for so long.

Well, I guess you guys just wish me luck!

All the best to myself and of course to those that are taking finals alongside with me this week.

Next week: Hectic

I am sooo gonna have a very hectic week starting from tomorrow.

I have a scouting trip, a marketing trip, 2 assignments due, 1 sales, and 1 quiz all by friday. And I am sooo gonna die.

At least I manage to achieve my goal of finishing my consumer behavior assignment by today. I sat down for about 3 hours and typed out everything that I want to write. Since it's a reflective paper, it's easier for me to write but I have no idea if I actually did the right thing.

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be going to scout for prizes for HMN event. then at night, I will be going to the pasar malam with Eliza, yee mun and riz to shop for our supplies for our marketing assignment sales on wed. Then, pass up 2 assignments (one which I havent started) on thurs and a marketing quiz on fri.

I expect by the end of this week, I am gonna drop dead. But I guess with the proper time management, I can do it.

Soooo not looking foward to next week...

p/s: jas, it's ur turn to update again! are we like taking turns to update? hehe...

Don't look my age.

I don't look like my age. End of story.

Seriously, went to Chilis with my family today and when I ordered alcohol I was forced to produce my ID to PROVE my age before they are willing to process my order. *roll eyes*

When I messaged Mae and Izzie, they just said I look young. haha....

Oh well, this is not the first time someone say I don't look like my age. First time was when this gal come over to my house for survey and she said she wanted to speak to someone legal. Hello!! I am already 19 by then??? haha.... swt. she said I looked like 15. Sigh, secondary school gal. Oh well... As Izzie say, no need botox!

Oh the side note, I have comm in workplace assignment to finish and I sort of gotten into a quarrel with my bro when I asked his opinion on how to answer the question. Typical day in my life. :D

Have advertising quiz to study for as well, but somehow my eyes are itching to read/ see/ view anything except the words in the advertising book. It's like I can read any material now, except for the book. *looks at the book and eyes stray away again*

*force the eye to look back at the book* no!! cannot stray! Advertising marks sucks. Need.... to.... study.... *strain eyes on book* haha. let's just say for now I read like 5 pages? SWT!! sigh.

Since my eyes boycotted me, I am giving it a break. But I am determined to finish reading at least 2 chapters.

I. Am. Determined!

Must. Finish.

I hope.

I wish...

Aiya, you know wat? one chapter will suit me just fine. :D

Full marks??

Design marks are out...

checked it just now and it was needless to say I was surprised that I got 30/30...

Must really thank mae, since I took a glance at her work in the previous sem and didn't realized that the idea I used for the back was totally the same for her work. I really thought that she used it for the some other places, not realizing that I used it at the same place. Lolz... must go out lunch one day. hehe..

Erm, after hearing my friends speaking of how FUN leadership camp is, I can't wait to see what is installed for us. they all are like, I wanna go again! so, I suppose it must be fun. Someone found a way out of the camp but she is still afraid that she can't graduate since they say, no camp attendance, no graduation from foundation.

Tomorrow going gym after almost a month of absence due to assignments, assignments and assignments. I just passed up my final individual assignment up (minus-ing design) and now, it' all group assignments with due dates very close with each other. Seriously, they never stop coming huh?? And with camp and all, I hope we have enough time to finish wei.

Now I am addicted to what most ppl would call 'slice of life' genre kinda book. I was reading books from this author called Torey Hayden who works and writes about elective mutism. It's really quite interesting. I wonder if it's real story since in her website she put it as 'non-fiction' and at her biography she is a psychologist. The stories are really interesting, but heart aching when it's about the abuse that children go through and how she brings them out of their mutism. Who wants to give it a try, just tell me. It's a real nice book to read. Even I, someone who can be real picky about my books (first time sort of really venturing out of chick lit and romance) find myself addicted to it. So, give it a try!

I guess that's all for now..

Sheesh, now i donno want to be excited or worried about leadership camp. But I guess it's better to be excited about it since it's a POSITIVE emotion. lolz...

No~~.....

Okay...
was on the way to class today and saw my name on a list. SHIT!!

it's a list for the leadership camp specially for HELP's foundation students. I was like, NOOO~~~

and to make things worse, it's on NEXT weekend, where I planned to go to KL design week (Maybe can go next year' one or something ler) and if possible accompany izzie to her Fahrenheit concert to see her cute guys. Now, all the plans go down the drain.. Damn!! why must be next week~~??? gah!!

I have been hearing stories and all about the camp, and some of them are just spooky. Maybe they are trying to scare us or something like that, but some say that they are dumping you in the forest at night and all. lolz...

If it was with a group of friends, I think I would be looking forward to it, but then, it's only for foundation students and most of my friends from there had already went for the camp. So, I suppose to I will have to make friends and stick through the 3 days. (thank god it's only 3 days - my thinking for now - who knows, it might change if i have lots of fun). However, heard from other ppl like Luc and all saying that the camp is actually FUN, so maybe I might enjoy myself.

Now that I give myself some time to absorb the idea, it's not THAT bad, minus the fact that I can't go on with my plans... lolz..

hmm.. on the side note, I am not very happy with my Comm in workplace marks. Was expecting higher. And I just submitted my english argumentative essay. I am soooo worried about my advertizing and comm in workplace grades...

Other than that, nothing much I guess...

might blog about the camp when I come back.. so you guys can find out if I had fun there or not. :D

Success!!

So of you might be wondering what does this post talk about. Well, basically, I have finally successfully enroll myself into BComm. Before this, the whole partial progression thing is kind of worrying because there is no news at all regarding it. So yesterday, I sent an email to the lady in charge to ask about it.

I did not receive any reply so I went to look for her. Turn out that my partial progression was successful and according to her, she sent me an email, yet after checking my g-mail, hotmail and HELP mail, I still found no traces of the reply at all.

Anyway, after getting the whole chaos cleared up, I went to KPD E to do my exemption. After that, I sat the bus back to main block to wait for my next class, Design.

While I was waiting for the bus, I saw this Benz parked in from of KPD A. In the car, there was this kid, and a man who is smoking standing outside the car looking quite sinister talking to the kid. He was kind of threatening the kid to call his mom and I thought that maybe, he was joking. The car window was open wide enough for the kid to stick his head out to talk to the stranger and for a moment the thought that crossed into my head was the parent of the child is making it super easy for anyone to take the child. All one have to do is just stick his hand through the window to unlock the door and grab the child, or just pull the child out through the open window and he would successfully take the child away.

So, I kept on glancing towards the kid. It was quite easy to do that since the car was right in front of me. The man kept on talking to the kid and suddenly he walked towards the driver seat of the car. The thought that he wanted to steal the car crossed my mind when he took out..........

the car keys to unlock the car.

Sigh.... so it seems that he is the driver of the car and obviously, the kid is either the boss's child or something like that. Seems like I have an overactive imagination to come out with such things. But then again, such things do happen and it's best that we keep a lookout.

Still in college now. I am currently waiting for my design tutorial to check things out. My design starts at 2 o'clock and my previous class end at 9.30. Guess I would be hanging out in college if we don't go to gym during break. Sigh... I hate breaks. Especially long breaks between classes. Right, here the list of subjects that I would be taking this sem.

HMC- foundation in arts
Advance English

Bachelor of Communication
Communication in workplace
Introduction to Design
Advertizing
Advertizing Copywriting.

I am taking 5 subjects this sem and it's definitely going to be a very heavy sem. Wish me luck for the semester :D

Results are out!!

Finally, my results for foundation are out. For the past few nights, I was worried that I could not get the required Credits to do my partial progression into Bcomm, and finally, the worrying comes to an end. I woke up at 11.45 am to check my results, and it's out!!

my results are:
Intermediate English: Distinction
Marketing Principles: High Distinction
Study Skills: High distinction
Critical thinking Skills: Credit.

Overall, I am quite happy with my results except for my intermediate english. Seriously, I was expecting it to be HD. But then again, I didn't expect marketing principle to be HD soooo, I guess it doesn't really matter because I still get my expected grades and most importantly, I fulfilled the condition for my partial progression!!

It took me some time to do my partial progression stuff because everyone doesn't seem to be too sure of the procedure. After looking for the person incharge and walking between offices, I finally manage to do my partial progression and now I am waiting for a phone call that would tell me how many subjects I can take for my degree.

So, I guess I will know over the weekend.

P/s: I added a video of my new year celebration with my family. Enjoy :D

Studying?? NAH!!

i am sitting in the hall with the laptop in front of me, my eyes trained on the TV rather than the laptop, so i am pretty sure there are going to be loads of spelling and grammar errors. so, please don't mind me. i just hope that you guys can understand what i am writing here.

Let's see, what had happened the last few days.... I gotten back my English quiz marks?? gotten 8.5 out of 10, which doesn't really match my expectations since i was expecting higher, but what can i say, my england isn't as gud as sum people. haha... i sux trying to speak in Ching Yee's english :D

ANYWAY, i gotten my mid terms timetable already. I can't remember if i did talk about it in my previous post, but here it is anyway.

Sat: Critical thinking skills and Intermediate english
Mon: Study Skills
Wed: Marketing

And not to mention, tomorrow, which is Friday, I have like marketing quiz. Thank goodness it's only 2 chapters. I already studied before I updated but somehow it doesn't get into my brain. It's like all the material goes in through the right ear and out through the left ear. So, it's really kind of useless that i studied. Sigh... I just hope that whatever i learn in lecture the past two weeks is sufficient to get me through this quiz. I really need to score this quiz because in the previous quiz i had a border line pass so i am kinda hoping that i will get good grades for this since the lecturer say that he will take the best 4 quiz out of 5. Hmmmm...... Blah!! let me score for exams, please, please, please, please, please!!!

I am going to watch Amazing race asia 3 after this, so i guess that's all for now. Chiao!!
