Suay!

The first present from myself to myself for this Christmas should be a new phone - a present which I have no intention of buying till March next year.

But this now got to change and is brought forward because, my stupid Nokia will restart by itself a few times and then totally shut down! It will boot up loading with a "G" and then the envelope logo (sms / mms received logo) which will turn to a "paperclip" lookalike logo. Then it will re-start and re-start a few times and then totally blank!

Argh!!

And all the bloody handsets are now so expensive!! Those cheap ones are so ugly!

And it's the economic recession!!

Double "ARGH"!!!

Anybody want to share??

I'm thinking of getting the Cleansing Mousse from Vitasence as they are having a Christmas promotion now. Buy 6 bottles and get the 7th free. So end up, I'll have 7 bottles which is way too much for myself and hub.

So, appealing to any of you out there.. wanna share?

Orginal Price is $48.50. There's a 20% discount now so it will be $38.80 per bottle. Then there's further discount of $20 (I think) so end up, for 7 bottles, it will cost a total of $212.80. Which will work out to be $30.40 per bottle at the end of the day.

So far, I have my sister and another friend taking a bottle each. Leaving 5 bottles. Which I can still share another 2 or 3 bottles.

Anyone want to share the Cleansing Mousse with me?Taken from the website: "Our Cleansing Mousse does away with harsh chemicals.

The upcoming Mods.

After the results release on 11 Dec, the wait continues. This time was to wait for the course offer letter to see if I can get the modules I wanted to take for my next semester in Jan 09.

Once again, the magical time for release of the letter is at 2pm. I was away on afternoon leave hence I was not able to find out till much later that night when I went home to check.

Thank God! I got all my choosen modules!

So for the next semester, I will be doing the following:
ASZ220 (elective): Professional English Writting (10 cu) - Exam
FIN301 (core): Financial Institutions, Instrument and Marketing (5 cu) - Individual Project
FIN301 (core): Financial Management (5 cu) - Exam
Total: 20 cu, 3 modules!

Which brings my total exams to a grand total of 2 papers in May 09. My classes will be on Tuesdays (Finances) and Wednesdays (English Writting).

Honestly, I'm kind of excited and looking forward to the new semester. It's always kind of exciting to go for classes and to collect the materials... heee... The only thing I dislike would be the endless TMA and exams.

But, anyway, just 1 more year and I'm done.

Hang in there. Hang in there!

On this modules thing, I find it TOTALLY unfair to us, students!

A friend of mine choose 20 cu (4 modules) during the on-line course selection, sometime in Sep. But now, when the courses are confirmed and allocated, she was only given 15 cu (3 modules).

Reason: The other module is full and hence not given to her.

Solution: Was told to make a payment of $53.50, go down to SIM and re-select other modules so that she can still take the full 20 cu per semester and she would be considered as making a change to the modules selected.

Now, this is the UNFAIR part! During the course selection exercise, there was
1) NO notice that if modules are full, students will have to pay to re-select other modules. (The notice only says something like $53.50 for change of moudles selected after 3 times and once offered, $53.50 for making more changes... something to that effect la)
2) We can only choose maximum of 20 cu (new modules) and another 10 cu for re-sit modules, there was no space for us to even key in other modules as back up.
3) There was no online counter or anything that shows the number of seats left per module.
4) It's the module that is full, it's not us students want to change module, we'll be happy to take what we've choosen, so why must the student bear the brunt of it and make us pay?!

Ok la, $53.50 is not a lot of $$ but the thing is, it is not a justified expense for us what! Morever, each student got to pay this kind of amount. I think there will be lots more who are affected! Can imagine the extra income going in!

I encouraged my friend to make it known to the higher ups. Not sure what is the outcome. But this is sooo totally unfair to us lor!

Of course, if she was given the 20 cu and she decides to make change, of course I feel that the charge is justified and reasonable. She is creating more admin work for the ppl in SIM. But this is NOT the case ma. She choose what she wanted. The module is full and now expect us to pay another $53.50 to re-choose!!! This is really too much lor!

So far, she has called the Head of Business, who referred her to the Director of Student Wellfare who referred her to someone else... so the case is still pending...

Hai...

Stupid UniSIM. Cheat our $!

I did it!!

=D

I did it! and I think I did very well too!

After all the cursing and swearing and worrying myself sick over the results especially the 2 Econs, I scored for myself 2 A- and 1B!

And the most miraculous thing is, my 2 A- are from the Econs! Both the Managerial Econs (which I missed 35 marks, 10 out of pure carelessness and another 25 is coz I don't know how to do) and International Econs (the blessed Common Currency for ASEAN Countires project, which I've cursed and swore so many times at the person who set the question) and I managed to get A- for both modules?!

I was shell shocked and when I found out I teared for joy. I really did not expect such grades. I was just happy to get a C for every module and here I have such wonderful grades instead!

The other module, Principles of Communications, I sort of guess will be around that kind of grade. Thank goodness.

I'm feeling that God is really so wonderful, he blesses me. My friends and family have prayed lots for me too and for that I'm grateful. Though I did not get straight A's. It doesn't matter. What matters most is the Lord has blessed me with much more than I deserve.

I'm going to continue to work hard for my coming semester, the 2nd last semester to my course of study and hopefully I will be able to graduate by Nov 2009!!!

A bag of nerves....

Just received the email from the SIM portal....

The results for my last sem will be released at 1300 hrs tomorrow. I've been looking forward and yet dreading this day at the same time.

I really really hope even with the big boo boo I made during the Managerial Econs paper, I can still get a decent grade. Of course, A would be best. But I know that's impossible already. B would be nice but with the mistake caused by my blindness, I will be lucky to get a C.

And at this moment in time, I don't really care what grade it is anymore. As long as I can get a C for every paper for last sem... this enables me to move on to other modules and I can graduate on time, i.e, finish my last paper in Nov 2009. That's all I ask for.

Pray for me.

Pray. very. hard. for. me.

Addiction

Latest craze.

Watching vids online... and this time, I'm watching Moonligh Resonance (Heart of Greed 2). Very nice canto drama.I've never watched part 1 but I guess it does not really matter.

Back to the vids!

a long weekend

Finally a long weekend has arrived. I really badly needed it. I've not been so busy for a long long time. And honestly, this busy period is enough to drive me up the wall and send me into tears of frustration!

The thing that really frustrates me most is when I've already done the document in a nutshell, it's merging sheets and sheets of 2 excel files, removing duplicates and combine everything into just 1 file. It's not easy doing it in the first place and after that there are changes. And the creator of that piece of document is not able to tell me where or what the changes are! Frustrating can!

I've spent a few hours just going thru the doc and the changes comes in daily.. argh!! Worse is, that merged file is supposed to be a working file. We have to contact the students listed in the list to come for training and then to tell them of their duties for mad house. But with changes coming in daily, how on earth are we to know if we are training the right pool of students. We can possibly be training the students who are meant for other duties. It's a waste of my time and energy! And that list has more than a THOUSAND students to contact. Mad house is Jan 8-10 2009. Next week is term break. Means I only had last week, this week and the few days before mad house to contact and train all lor... hai...

Anyway, I decided I need a break, so I totally r&r on Saturday and Sunday. Really woke up as and when I decided to wake up, leisure meals and continue to just enjoy and sleep throughout the day.

We met up with our Poly friends for dinner on Sat and it was good to catch up with some of them after so long. By the time we were home, we were quited tired and just went to bed after shower and watching some lousy shows on TV.

Sunday, I finally decided to do some housework and that is to get all the dirty laundry to be washed. Sounds very minor, yes. But at times, it's really so hard to get my ass off and make myself do some housework. But thank goodness, I manged to get it all into the hot hot sunny sun yesterday for today was Mr Rainy at his best. Rained from morning till night without stopping!

And today, I must say the break for 2 days did wonders, I spent today tidying up the document again. Yes. The.entire.whole.day. But it was not too bad. The weather was nice and cooling in fact bodering on being cold. Hubby was busy revising for his exams so, there was minimal distraction from TV.

All in, I really had a good long weekend. Tomorrow will be another day. I was supposed to be on leave, made plans with Godma and Bro to catch up but last minutue I have visitors from Hong Kong. So no choice, will be back in office in the morning the moment they leave, I will go off too.

Come what may, will see to it as it comes.

A break really work wonders! =)
