In case anyone wants to try out the Western food that took over the stall of Botak Jones at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 Blk 608, don't bother.

Why? Because it failed the taste test of my whole family.

Although the grill is just nice, the meat is quite juicy, but the bottomline is...
It's simply tasteless.

I don't even think it was marinated for more than 1 second.

Failed... And maybe I was expecting something really spectacular after waiting for almost 45mins. =/

I don't even recall the name of the place. =/

Alright. As of now, there is less than a month to the exams.

I need to do a couple of things.

To Do
1. Settle NEFMQ website content.
2. Finish my Assignments (Micro, Money and Banking)
3. Revise on my Bahasa in preparation for the Oral exam and the final test.
4. Start studying
5. Stop Slacking

I only got 4 exams this sem, so I expect more from myself. But how can I expect more from myself when I'm doing less? =/

Saya harus belajar sekarang.
Kalau saya tidak belajar sekarang, saya akan mati!

Haha. I dont make much sense, but I'm lazy to refer to the coursepack for more vocab.

Crisis

Yet again, I'm having this feeling of being in a period of crisis.

I'm not faced with alot of deadlines, nor am I busy like shit. But I'm experiencing the mid sch crisis again! =/ It's this time of the year where I don't know what I want and where I am now.
Feeling so unaccomplished and totally undeserving of many things.

Quite tempted to watch The Bucket List. Anyone interested?

Been listening to 933 alot lately. Love the songs they play.

I want KBOX... Anyone... ?

Math

Math - You love it, you love to hate it.

Ever wondered why we had to learn Algebra?
Why must we have Xs and Ys instead of the actual thing or numbers??

Something that I actually asked myself when I was still little. Now that I'm doing economics (a bit ironic, because the math arent that chim.), I realised that many things in life can actually be simplified to an equation. Something that I never learnt when I did math though.

Now Xs and Ys are my good friends. But will everything be simply reduced to variables in my life? Hope not.

OMG. What is this dy/dx thing?
Yeap. Calculus = Differientation + Integration.

Why did we have to learn it?

Why on earth would I want to know why when
y= 2x+ 999
dy/dx = 2

This is even more useful. Rate of change. Marginal. Maximisation, Minimisation.

Enough said I guess.


If only my Little Ben would read my blog, Pls pay attention more when I teach you math, you cannot dislike math.......... especially if you want to be a rocket scientist.

Went to watch Horton with Na yesterday. It'a quite a nice show actually, quite funny but yet touching. I liked it. Heh.


Was in a grumpy mood actually, maybe coz the lack of sleep over the past few days.


Had a super full dinner at Ri Ben Chun, The Cathay branch. My first time there, but really liked it there as well, so I foresee more trips there! Hehe



Mouse between a chopstick.

Micro is over! And much better than I expected. Hopefully all those that I know/think i know how to do is correct. Haha. In that case that would be full marks!!!

Fat hope la. Haha.

Bazzar day was not as tiring as I anticipated. Practically slacking around, walking around to chuan men zi, listening to people talk and of course eating! Kind of got to know a few more people! Yay~ Poor sis had to have migraine, but she did kept me company throughout the whole day. Thanks jiemei!

Tmr is the D day for the skit/play. Had a rehearsal this morning, not that bad, except that the female lead isnt around so we had to do without them. Some minor twerks today and all that is left is the thing itself. Cant wait for it to be over. Then I will have to worry abt marketing presentation.

Okay, time to do my ppt slides for mkt.

This has been my thoughts for the past 2 days.

My Ass

I'm in a grouchy mood.

For the sake of mankind, please change your fucking attitude.
I was expecting a at least semi professionally well done kind of report from you after you delayed for 2 weeks. But what you came out with was as what WL said, a reflection on a blogpost. 2 weeks and you give me crap that is even lousier than the crap I can fabricate in 15mins? Fuck you, understand?

Call yourself a Year 3 Econs Major. A Secondary 3 can probably do better.

Go back to the country where you came from.

Circle of Trust For the Win~ =)
Mini hell week coming up, I just realised I'll be home late every single weekday next week apart from Good Friday. Really welcomed the little craziness to kill the stress cells.

Role in LAB's play became more complex and a tad more awkward. Sian. Although I like my costume. So Gold.

P.S. Am I always so unfilial in your mind for over this half a decade? Maybe, maybe not. If I'm not sure of the situation I wouldn't have committed longer.

Moment of Anguish, Month of Negativity

I was mightily pissed off with the SMRT service yesterday. Missed a grand total of 7 trains because I cannot get in even though I tried my best to squeeze with everyone.

Inference:
During peak hours, try not to have a 10min wait for a train.
Because you will get a train worth of commuters waiting on the platform.

I realised the textbook is your best friend in Uni. With the exceptions of the rare occurrence whereby the lecturers are better friends than the textbooks, most of the time textbooks are better.

Some things always puzzle me. Why is it that for a single module when taught by different lecturers, the focus of the module seems to differ not just marginally. And that how some modules in the level 2000 range can cover 90% of whatever we've learnt in 1000, and just have about 10% new information, which some of them are just an expansion of the knowledge we learnt in the prerequisite.

2 Mid terms gone, 2 more to come. 1 Bahasa play and 1 marketing presentation round the corner. Nefmq stuffs on its way too. Some times, I wonder if schooling is so enjoyable.

But of course, I still have my desire/dreams of doing a postgrad degree (All these could change soon). So I better start regaining my correct mentality.

IT show 2008

Finally got my camera! Haha. I gave up toying with the idea of getting a DSLR when I grad. I don't think I will ever go pro when it comes to phototaking. So, I got my IXUS. There are freaking alot of people there. I'm so glad I am out of it already.

Besides that, it was a day of shoe finding, zaraing, borders-ing and grumpying! Haha.

Damn, I am hungry. at 1 am.

This post is super random. It Almost doesnt mean anything. =)

3 more midterms to go.

Beyond hope

Seriously, I never expected him to be so lazy.

Totally beyond my expectations. I think it is best if you just hand in your resignation letter before you get sacked.

Or please find a wall and knock your head on it and ask it for forgiveness. But I guess you would be even too lazy to open your mouth.

5 Years.

It's really a milestone we have achieved.

Watched PS. I love you. I found it a rather touching show, as in how the husband planned all those things in advance for his wife. So sweet.

Liquid kitchen seemed to have changed their menu for the worse... But I still like the ambience. =)

Thanks dear for being who you are for so long we have been together.

PS. I love you. =)

Brainiac

The cool thing about psychology is that it is everywhere. Something that I wasn't conscious about. This is what makes it so interesting.

How the stimuli stimulate your senses and lead to the perception of certain things and various responses in reaction to the stimuli. How it is possible to train a child to have better behavior with the aid of reinforcement and how it is possible to ring a bell to make a dog salivate.

How you can see everything, but yet only see what your brain wants you to see.

Our brain is such a sophisticated entity that allows us to make such complex mental processes at the snap of our fingers.

The only drawback is that it is damn difficult to study. Too heavy in content.

Most of the thing hardly goes beyond my STM. Hopefully the recency effect stays longer than normal.

"... it barely matters how much or how hard you try to learn something: what matters is how well you integrate and organise the material." (S.M. Kosslyn &, R.S. Rosenberg, 2006. Psychology in Context.)
