SoNg Of ThE dAy: "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter

i officially declare today e worst day of my life (or rather, e 'most sway' day).. i juz broke my spect while bathing.. wearing my old one now.. how bad can one day get? well.. at least it's coming to e end liaoz.. oh ya, thkz to my mum for helping me find e old pair.. was kinda visually challenged (my degree is v high).. sorry for digging her outta bed though..

let's hope tmr will b a better day~
got this GIP interview tmr, which happens to clash wif my tut, so i ended up having to go for make-up today.. asked e office pple to change my slot, & guess wat they reply? "sorry, but as e slots r packed v tightly, so we can't change e timing" then y they asked for our confirmation?!? juz tell us we have no choice la.. grr~

went FAL to print notes today & another sway thing happened.. dunno wat's wrong wif e sch website, but can't get in at all.. e startup page became e NBS site, which i hardly use, so had a hard time trying to log onto my email.. tt wasn't so bad, then when i went to print, printer 1 went haywire & e pages all turn out wif big patches of black.. (-_-") so u can imagine how sianz i felt already.. but tt's still fine (wasted 70 cents).. went to re-print on printer 2 (which had a long Q cuz printer 1 was down).. then e same thing happened!!! & it was still fine till it's my turn (another waste of 70 cents).. like i'm IT-cursed or sth.. e worst thing was e student assistant was nowhere to be seen, so there's no way to complain too.. guess every1 was kinda pissed off as well.. so in e end, i totally give up.. maybe next time i'll go library to print (if only it wasn't so far from NBS block)..

SoNg Of ThE dAy: "zuo4 zi4 ji3" (Be Myself) by Tong En

if there's one person who can really make me fume up, it gotta be my bro.. (>o<) my browser kana hijacked, & he wun even offer any help.. juz now, he threw a temper at me for no reason.. & naturally, being a guy, he got a louder voice.. so all i can do is suffer in silence.. MCP!

anw, delayed post here.. din update mainly cuz was rushing tut.. haha..

let's c.. acct 2 seems alot like mkt-ing.. so far most of e tut que like no definite ans.. it all depends on how u reason it out.. my tutor's quite gd, always trying to squeeze ans out of us, but he commented that our class is too quiet (which is kinda true.. hehe..)

e investment tutor is kinda slack if u ask me.. we haf no tut que & he spends 3hr on a lect when other tutors can finish in less than 2hr (heard from my frens in other classes) & still go thru tut.. found out that act quite a few of my frens r in e same time slot, but diff class as me.. sigh~

maths method for finance is v chim.. (x_x) tot i was free from calculus after JC.. boy, was i wrong.. been digging up old notes to work on my homework.. oh ya, this is e mod which i have a class on sat.. wat's worse is my tutor's a temp staff, which means he can only come on sat.. so plan to switch timing of class is no go.. (-_-") from impression of e 1st lesson, e tutor seems rather helpful, although he's quite blur (mistakes in his solutions, gotta kept repeating from start.. haha..) maybe cuz it's his 1st time teaching ba.. hope subsequent lessons will be better..

financial mkt & institution is kinda similar to investment in contents.. hope i dun get them mixed up.. i got e lecturer as my tutor.. juz dun like e mathematical part of e sub.. last time for FM, we juz need to use e equations, now we gotta prove y e equations exist & do alot of calculations.. ahh~~

chado is fun, though we have written & practical exams.. (^_^") we get to go thru e procedure every lesson, so it means nice snacks & tea every wk (tot it was free, till they told us tt we need to pay for it).. it's 4hr class, half theory, half pract.. e instructor's a japanese, so we haf another to translate for her.. so it's like she say sth & e other lady will translate.. quite inefficient if u ask me (shld juz get an instructor who can speak english).. haha.. as for e room, they haf this small corner where there's a small set-up of a tea room, with a garden by e side.. we gotta help clean up e tatami for every practice, & cuz materials r limited, we have to take turns practising..

lastly, reforming education is part of e minor for education's mod.. wonder if i shld take minor or pursue japanese language? anw, there's no exam for this GE, juz need to submit an essay every tut.. interesting cuz we looks at global cases, but tink much researching is req..

SoNg Of ThE dAy: "Other Side of the World" by KT Tunstall

tink e song's abt long distance love or sth.. saw e mtv, sad ending.. sigh~

almost thru' 2nd wk of sch & 1st wk of tut (1 more on sat.. sianz~).. since add/drop period's ending today, tink i more or less confirming my subjects liaoz.. here's my list of subjects for this sem:
3 cores - acct 2, investment, maths methods for finance
1 PE (prescribed) - financial mkt & institution
2 GE (general) - chado, reforming education

my frens say i'm nuts taking 6 subs.. but no choice.. i'm desperately trying to clear my GE's requirements (23 AUs).. & since i got those tt i like (we go by balloting, so really depends alot on luck), mite as well take it while i have it, rather than trying again next sem.. who knows if they're even gonna offer e class next sem? so now i end up wif a 5-day wk, from tue to sat..

tink i'll write another more detailed post abt my classes later on.. perhaps after my sat tut.. look at e time.. i got a lect in e morning.. haha..
