blogging can never be given up

so! i have tot's been abandoning this blog and not updating it at all but hey, isn't blog seasonal? or is it? haha..

so anyway, lots has happen since i last blogged such as the awesome winter break that has come and gone :( spent with cuzzins and as usual it was awesome with movies, eating, sleeping late and waking up late to lunch/brunch, going out shopping and just doing nothing! it was a heaps good holiday, and even tho i didn't go back to msia..the fact that i stayed with cuzzins compensated for it :)

also, second semester has started and it has been a drag and a real pain! business and psychology should not be a combination of subjects that you take in uni! economics, law and psych! worst combinations ever coz the work load is equally heavy! but all in all the content and context is pretty interesting so i suppose i shall not complain :)

and everything else? well, the previous and future posts will cover that, also, facebook helps too :)

cause skype makes us closer

it's things like these that make you grateful for skype..coz although you are thousands of miles away, you never seem to feel far away coz these things bring you that much closer to home *aww...* (or at least the date in which your going home)

skype never fails to entertain me :)

when mentals get together

this are the kind of people i have to deal with everyday..totally random, loud, nonsensical but yet they make me feel more like myself :)

this is how i am

Lydia Kee, such a big Foodie,
Without a spoon and plate you will never see.
In her unit she will never be,
Because she's always driving us mad, Devi Rajaram & Me.

Woolies is her favorite place,
She would love to make it her permanent base.
Her headaches end in sooo much drama,
We feel its our karma!

Everyday she will entertain, despite being a big pain.
Feeding us is what she does best,
But, at the end of it al our ears need the rest!

such poetic friends i have :)

a little more time please

so, after a week of finishing my first paper, i'm done with my second paper, which was management

overall, it wasn't too bad at all..the questions were pretty straight forward and din require much thought (like oh, what theory is this, what is it asking for? how do i answer) type of questions except for maybe one or two questions..BUT, the worst part was....

NOT ENOUGH TIME!

everyone came out complaining there was not enough time, well not not enough, but a bit more time would have been better coz there were heaps to write..and when your in exam like conditions you tend to write more than you usually would (or at least i did) coz i was trying to make it fanciful and like a super pro (sound) like essay hence the fancy words and elaboration...

but, i realized i could't come an hour into the exam (we only had 2 btw) and i realized i still had 3 more short answer questions and 2 more essays! i bet your thinking she's never gonna finish! i thought i would't either! and short answer is not that short! it's worth like 10 marks so there should at least be 10 points! i wrote like a page long for all my short answers...but when it came to the essay, there wasn't enough time! so most of my essay's were also a page-a page and a half long coz i could't elaborate much and just jumped to all the theories, a tiny short explanation and examples..i just keep doing that for both essays! and the most awesome part? ( i really must congratulate myself coz i don't know how i managed) but i finished 3 short answer questions in 15 minutes! i just wrote everything and anything i knew! nah, it was def God's guidance and wisdom to help me answer the questions and think of examples while i wrote and my hand which co-ordinated it all so well!

so at the end, i was still writing to the last minute! it was crazy! and while they were collecting the papers, i wrote my student ID on all the pages coz I didn't have time to write in the beginning :P

overall, it was an alright paper, not too bad, just a little bit of extra time (or lesser questions) would be better...ironically, some people left an hour into the exams...go figure...

next up, the most dreaded subject (statistics) and marketing, which i'm not too bad in, i think? then PARTAY time *does the wink eyebrow thingi*

1 down, 3 more to go!

So, today was the start of my first final exam as a university student..it was kindda "nervous" coz it was my first exam as a university student..so it's more like serious (not that any other exams aren't serious) and things were done differently..

first, there's reading time..which was never the case in malaysia..in malaysia you read and answer together..haha..so that was good coz you can roughly plan your answers as you go along..then, we were allowed to bring bags into the hall! i was like whoa..but i suppose there's heaps of students sitting for the same exams and living it outside of in front would just cause chaos and the uni would't want to be responsible for anything that's lost of stolen..and like you can't have anything on your table except for stationary, so everything else had to be in your bag, beside of you..haha..interesting experience :)

overall, the paper wasn't too bad i suppose..i could answer most questions and most of the stuff that i studied came out except for a few questions but you could guess or estimate the answer since it was all MCQ's anyway..

so after the exams we went to have lunch together and chilled for a bit as our "rest" period :) hey, we all need motivations right? haha..so today is my "chill" day and i shall start being a nerd again for my management paper next week :)

ahh, life is good when you have food, friends and motivation :)

done delio!

so, FINALLY i'm done with the first half of uni semester one! yay! *inserts confetti and party whistle*

now there's (a mini one) something to celebrate about! i've survived the first half evaluation of the semester! the second half are the final exams! which starts in like 2 weeks time! and there's so many things to cover that I don't know if i can cover everything on time! finger's crossed i can!

but, imagine all the nice things that's gonna happen post-exams! everyone's so excited that they're talking about when their last paper ends and in every other conversation you have with someone, they'll ask "any plans for the winter break?" or "what are you going to do over the break?"

well, while SOME may be going back to their countries..........since i'm not, i've decided i'm going to make my holidays fun! not sure how and what to do..but i'll def make sure it's fun!

oh, and some of us have already planned a pre-exam party coz we can't be studying all the time! haha..

exams exams..the things you make us do....
