if u were to improve ourselves by just 1% every day, over 1 year, you will have improved yourself by about 500%....wow...that is making yourself 5 times a better person than today...
Life is a short journey, treasure it and lead a happy one.

Chinese New year 09
this is really damn boring, economy is down, everyone no mood. Even though got long holidays, i end up nuaing at home, doing nothing much. It seems that CNY has lost its meaning, i dun look forward to it anymore, it is just so so sianz. The feeling not really there liao, is this really a growing old sign?
my last sem has been quite ok, apart from a elective which i did badly, but the rest were pretty good, still i need to work harder i guess, i need better grades, but each sem gets tougher, what do i do? I just have to bite the bullet i guess, and hope i smoke my way through.
NTU bridge club has also been a disappointment to me, taking up far too much of my time, leaving me with precious little time for other stuff. Maybe i should relax more, and slack more, that might help.

Holidays
My holidays has been damn sianz, working at this place that pays 6 dollars a hour. Totally no life sia , 9-6pm work. My only long holiday spend like this, so sad case. I have also noticed that i been playing less bridge, though i have taken over chairperson of NTU bridge club. I have sorta toned down on bridge, but for those that thinks i am quitting bridge, not yet i guess, maybe a few years from now. I still want to do well at bridge, be among the best. The only consolation that bridge gives me, is that at least it helped me get back hall for next year, which i am very glad. I also greatly enjoy the satisfaction of winning, winning can never be sweeter.
As for now, i just hope to scrape through my cse and get a reasonable degree, to start my accounting career. I used to think that accounting is boring, but recently i found it to be quite fun, and i can gain satisfaction from it. I now think i have made a wise choice and it suits my cup of tea, though i never seem to do well in it at studies.
I am awaiting the start of school, though i dread it. I hate the feeling of getting pawned in studies, even how hard i tried. I guess I wasn't smart enuff, but i wont give up. I believe that i can do it.I used to think i cant survive NS, but i got through it. Same with studies, i will get it through. My resolution for next sem is better grades, which i hope.

Dreaded results are out
oh no, yet another failed attempt and one more grade off my gpa, really bad now, only managed straight B for my 2nd sem. I tink i really cannot make it sia, but will keep trying bah, hopefully next sem better lo, and also do well enuff to improve. As of now, enjoy my holidays. And it is ironic that the subject i hate most turns out to be the subject that saved my ass. I got B+ for the comms module that i sulk abt every single day. How ironic.

Exams nearing
I am just so dead, always exams is the end of me, been slacking too much, been nt doing anything much, and exams are here, staring me in the face. Hmm, though i have only 3 module left, it is still tough, i tink i am finished. This sem i be happy to get average B, v tough this sem, less module, higher difficulty. Maybe becos i becoming stupid, or i already is :). All the things dont seem to sink in, i take longer to study and i lose concentration easily. Hmmmm, this isn't a gd sign.
Anyway, exams is in 4 days time, i DO hope i scrape through, long holiday, den maybe find a part time job that is slack, dun need high paying, jus moderate and slack...and also spend more time wif my frens and family :). I seriously need some luck, hope i get it. Already one module B le, so hafta pray hard.

Results quite bad, but still decent
Hmm, actually i am v v happy, cos i thought i am gonna do badly, but at least i survived my first sem so this will be tough for my 2nd sem, my gpa slightly below 4, if only i work a bit harder sia, slack too much, den never study v hard. Now, hafta do well for my 2nd sem, to pull up my first sem. But at least, it wasn't that bad, so still within reach. If i could turn back time, i would have studied harder, but it is always easy to say when the event had already occured. I guess my new year wishes is to have a gd 2nd sem, survive this sem and have a hard break. Hoepfully i do my tutorials this time round, i din do mine in the first sem and i tink that cost me dearly. Better luck for this sem, and that is what i silently hope i can achieve. Start of sch quite xiong, realised my modules damn xiong, last sem much more relaxed than this leh, so hafta work harder.
And i realised i am getting quite noob at chess, almost got pawned by other halls, such a disgrace sia, but at least, i din lose most of the games, s0 that is a scant consolation, maybe some day, i should play chess again, maybe next time. Bridge has been taking too much time for me and i seriously need a break, getting v sick and tired of it.

I SCREWED my exams
hmm, the title says it all. Total flunk, and i am screwed. Hmm, had 4 major modules in my first sem in NTU, and time really flies. One moment , i am just at week 1, the next moment i am sitting in the exam hall. And everytime i come out of the exam hall, i feel dejected, knowing my ego had been crushed. Hmm, hope can escape with straight B for this sem, and would be nice, but i dun tink it is going to happen. Reality will strike me 1 month from now, where i see the dreaded exam results.
First module, stats. Pretty tough module, but luckily i had taken F maths before, but still this wasn't a stroll in the park, and coupled with a few C in my quizes, and i din finish my stats paper, i dun tink a A is available. At best, a B+ i reckon. Really extremely disappointed that i din do well here, cause it is suppose to be my best subject.
Next module, OB (Organizational Behaviour). Another equally lame module that makes totally no sense to me, so many theories studying human behaviour, i had totally no interest in it, and i sux at it. My assignments were pretty bad, and my paper was better than i expected though. At least i know how to do some, but i know it probably wont be a gd result. Not to be counted as a total disaster, it still is a disaster of some sorts to me. Will be lucky to get a B or B-.
Next up, Marketing. Hmm, relatively easy module, concepts easy to grasp, and pretty slack. No quiz one, so i sort of slacked off. However, i screwed the main paper. Too tired after stats exam, din have the mindpower and motivation to do my paper. And no spark of brilliance during the exams, and i was gone with the wind. Total disaster here, i din know what had hit me, and i tink i am surely going down here, at best a C i reckon.
Finally, IT. Easy and lame module, learning about basic com stuff. Easy to grasp, and i din even get the textbook. Paper was pretty easy, but the only downside was i din finish it. Hopefully, i can get a A here, to save my other modules.
My GPA is screwed and there goes my honours. So sad, things aren't easy after all, with the fierce competition this year. Extremely combative intake, mugger kind that shocked me, tried getting into the culture but i failed. I hope to have better luck next time, and this shall be the start of my one month plus holiday. Somehow, after exams, i dun feel happy. Cos i know i did quite badly, so hopefully my mood improves over the next few days and i become happier.
