Paper leaked...

There's something happened in my uni lately which made a lot of people furious.

Let's break it down what happened first. On a Friday there was a Financial Statement Analysis (that's one of the subject I am taking this semester) mid-term test. But before the test there have been some talk about the test; there are two sittings for the test to accommodate the students with different timetables so that they can find a suitable time to sit for it. At that time, I thought that they will have different set of questions for the different sittings. But the lecturer did not let the students register beforehand (they do not know how many people are sitting for the paper for the different sessions), and they hand out the same sets of questions for both sittings. Funny eh?

So naturally some of the students mentioned this to the lecturer (the paper obviously leaked) and the lecturer was not happy about it. Hence the retest. Now, many students are not happy because they have to retest... obviously again.

The right way, I believe, should have been that there should be no two sittings in the first place. If cannot accommodate, just do it on a Saturday or something like that...

Anything to blog?

Tests and presentation all over already.. yay!=) Now have time to sit down and blog...

Time flies... it's Week 6 T.T

Wah... wah... week six already leh... why is it so fast??

Amuses me when I saw my coursemates discussing the upcoming tests for the next few weeks on Facebook, which kinda goes like this:

"Eh Life Con 2 on Week 7..."
"Not on Week 8 meh... I remember she told..."
"FSA on Week 8 la..."
"I thought it's on..."
"No.. no... there's three subjects on Week 8..."

=) makes you wonder why isn't anyone complaining during our secondary school days when during our final exam we have two papers on the same day with less than an hour break in between...

FIFA World Cup

Yeap.. the biggest sporting event on Earth is here... FIFA World Cup 2010!!

It has been a long time since I catch any football... the last time I watch (purely for fun, that is) was Euro 2008, which was held around this time also (remembered cuz I just started my university studies and I was staying up late for a few matches... hard to believe I actually got into Dean's List at the end of that semester=.=)

No lah... really no time for that. The first WC match I watched was the Japan-Cameroon group match while I was at a dinner celebrating my coursemates' birthdays. I have to say that I really did hook myself into the game. But then that was it. There's so many things for me to handle now (studies)... No time for WC yet...

Anyway, for those football fans there... do enjoy! Cuz WC's here for only once every four years!!

Stress Stress Stress....

It has only been Week 3 but now I am stressed up like hell... I am only taking 5 subjects this semester compared to a few who are taking 6 subjects... but I am so stressed.... Does anybody feeling stressed out like I do? T.T I'm falling behind in so many subjects... wait.. all of them!! Cham lo...

A Conversation in the Uni Office

I was at the campus office the other day and I overheard this student talking to one of the officers there:

"Miss, my address has changed. I need you to redirect my uni results to my new address..."
"But I believe UTAR has sent it out already..."
"Har? (frantic) When was that? But my address has changed already wo..."
"I think that was last week..."
"But I would not be able to receive it wo.. my address changed already...how to receive it..."
"You can check with the Exam Department..."

Haha... I bet this student has been placed under probation.. and he didn't want his family to know about how he is faring... hahaha... Looks like he can't run away from this then=)

My results=(

This is a thing from the past but then I still need to point it out... my results for last sem was terrible!=(

Just less than 0.01 below the 2.0000 GPA mark and now I'm under probation (now I/you know why they insist on putting so many decimal points on our GPA... they are very particular about it...even if you get 1.9999 you will still be under probation...) I wanted to write in to exempt me from this rule but they said it is of no use... well, not that I expected them to help me...

Still haven't finalize my timetable yet... this is frustrating.=(

Year 3 Sem 1 Here I Come

I just wanna calm myself down with just a few days before my new university semester starts. This time I do not have much baggage coming into a new semester unlike previous semesters... Y1 busy with the photostating of my notes la... Y2S1 busy with the new house in Setapak la... Short Sem busy with my P exam la... Y2S2 busy with my FM exam la (note: fail liao tim T.T ) So, this semester I can start afresh with less things to 'fan' compared to previous semesters...

Most probably I am allowed to take only 4 subjects since my results was very bad the last semester around... if you are a UTAR student then you know how the university works... I was even thinking of taking six subjects next semester so that I do not have to take 5 subjects next semester... Now looks like this is not going to work...

This semester also marks the end of my stay with my current housemates in PV10. I want to thank all my housemates in Pv10 for making my stay with you all an experience. Thanks for the joy and laughter... and the help that the 4 of you gave me throughout the year. There were good times and bad times... the memorable moments that we shared will always have a place in my heart=) (e.g. throwing cakes around=p) At the moment I will be travelling to and fro between campus and Bandar Sunway... maybe time consuming but I hope things will go well later on... Might be moving to a place... but depends on location and rent lo=)

Have been relaxing myself for the last few days... Looked at my results >> checked back my exam papers to see if need to appeal against grade >> doing some soul searching on why did i get such results >> how to improve >> how to arrange my new timetable.. etc... etc...

My message to Actuarial Science students reading this: I learnt something this semester-- when you are studying, concentrate on your studies.. and by studies I meant your current studies. I spent the first few weeks concentrating SOLELY on my FM professional exam and neglected on my uni subjects until after CNY break... I found it very hard to catch up. I really thought I could but that was not to be the case...

Let's talk about the future... leave the past be the past...

Hopefully will be able to update my Facebook account more frequently this semester=) Was reading my housemate's twitter account and was quite captivated.. until I decided sticking with Facebook is much better=p

I believe a lot of you will start your new semester soon or july/august... anyway good luck and all the best=) Oh, and being a final year student while all my other high schoolmates have graduated and began their work made me realize one thing... treasure your days now or you will regret later=)
