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.

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.
