| realised majority of my posts are -ve. why so? do i meet with more -ve events? or do i only rem the bad events? or is my standards too overly high? i know i have to stay happy. its always better to be happy than sad. i shld forget the sad events and rem the gd ones only. how shld i go abt doing it? | | |
| results was out today.. and it says
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ACCOUNTANCY WITH FIRST CLASS HONOURS WITH A SECOND SPECIALISATION IN BANKING & FINANCE

| went over to phuket fr 9-12 may with wy, hl, jo, jeryl.
trip was satisfactory... i had wanted to do water sports eg jet ski and banana boat but in the end nv do any of these. instead went for 2 tours.. 1 was a island hopping tour... on a speedboat to various islands off phang nga bay.. probably the more interesting one is the one with a cave.. panak island. a rock with the shape of ice cream was the attraction. and went to see james bond island. guide was intersting but the canoeing was regretful.
on another day, went to island safari for elephant trekking, shows, ATV and rafting. enjoyed ATV and rafting most..
for dinners, went to champion seafood near the guesthouse.. food was cheap and gd!
the guesthouse, loveli, was superb. the owner, andrew was really nice and hospitable. so was the assistant.. both were v v friendly and helpful in getting our lights fixed, taking care of our baggage on the last day and providing a rm to wash up on the last day aft check out!
the only regret was perhaps the water sports.. will do it at other resort nx time.

| exams have officially ended... and there goes my 3 yrs....
how can i describe my ntu life?
lets start fr nbs.. probably from the beginning to the end....
started off nbs with the welcome day... where i met some of the pple my uni life evolves ard...
so many pple.. but prob juz wy, hl, jorene and jeryl remains aft 3yrs.
i rem the 1st acct tut... aa101... where i was somehow shocked upon by the diligence of the tut mates.. fr then on, i treid to do my hw.. and i did. the whole of yr 1 i was rather hardworking.. doing my tutorials or at least catch them up if i dun.. and there u go.. pretty decent results
i rem yr 1 as prob the best time of the 3 yrs.. less worries.. no worries abt job/internships.. having fun in hall and hanging out the tut grp pple.. it was still a huge gang at that time.. i rem going to quad/can a for the 2h break.. the old can a... the 40c milo that i wld drink daily.
majority of the classes were with the tut grp... perhaps only ob.. where i worked with new friends.. and turned out rather gd. i rem the times i spent at hall 15 in wy/hl's hall doing aa102.. rather crazy.. but we got it done and got A-. it was a proj that i treasured.
then i was away for exchange... it was of course a fun time of travelling and experiencing new stuff.. but definitely when i came back, i was lonely. i took mod alone.. which i was fine but nevertheless nt ideal. however, life often spring surprises... and there in tax, i had one of the best mod in ntu... with a great prof who entertains us every lesson, and a table of 6 which we chatted in class.
come year 3, again i went to most classes alone. and there i made new friends. aa306 where i met eileen who is so ever helpful.. risk was a class where we all slacked and talked nonense. co law where i met some junior eye candies in class.. and derivatives which was i consider the toughest mod ard. with job search and twf, it was hell of a sem.. i wondered how i survived.. barely... i rem nt doing most of the hw and going into co law, risk, 306 totally unprepared for class. 307 too. though tough, i tink thats prob the sem i enriched myself most...
then come the final sem.. 3 mod and its a slack calendar for me. but due to work commitment, again i dun do hw.. which by this time was norm for me.. i tend to use my intelligence rather than effort as the sem goes on... eventually cumulating to a great 301 proj. meetings were scare.. the rest were bz with other mod.. but still turned out well. which was what i really wanted. lessons were nt too bad.. rem bz playing with mashimaro in 301 and chatting with shimin in 304. 327 was an interesting mod but atypical of ntu. and then come the worst exam timetable ever for me.. again i survived.. barely.. i knew my efforts were less than bef but sufficient.
other than nbs.. theres prob 3 other things in ntu...
hall life... the 1 yr in hall 8... thoguh wasnt active, but probably sufficiently enjoyed the time there.. staying in hall is really convenient.. and its only obvious aft starting to travel to and fro sch. 1h45min journey is no joke. esp if theres no seat. somehow i get more tired by the travelling.. in hall i get to have dinner with friends.. at home.. alone.. does affect the mood in general. having hall during exam period oso makes it easier to study.. ill juz slp/ slack at home..
the main draw of hall is prob the social life.. i nv really like the idea of going sch, go for class, then go home. at least i had 1yr of hall life in ntu and 0.5 in US...
then its impresario. my 1st cca in ntu and it was fun organising it.. the programmers are great pple too.. its a pity i cant carry on the 2nd yr due to exchange but i rem every wed late nites.. and the final prep.. again year 1 was a great yr
then it's sife.. started out by jun cheng.. im glad i was involved in the starting of a club. fr nth, we started a proj, went into the comp and even made it to the finals! entrepreneurship is always area im weak in but keen to know more abt it.. and sife juz did so. there were some personal barriers that i crossed or met during this sife journey.. i applaud juhu, jc, mh for their leadership.. it really takes LOTS of effort...
for all that matters... nbs, hall8, impre, sife... these are my ntu memories.
and now my ntu journey ended.. a fresh beginning. yes... a new phrase of life begins.....

| so much can happen in 1 mth. so what abt 1 year? 10 years?
1. waterloo team. the huge team of 20 has shrinked to a smaller nucleus of abt 8? some went overseas, others are busy with other commitment.. and who is really interested in the microbusiness? and post-ex? anyhow, it's still hardening to see the activities we had.. in the name of meetings, we had cooking session at diana's hse. im offically gifting my fri to the lulus. i initially tot otherwise.. but perhaps now its not too bad an idea too
2. sife handing over. juhu is stepping down and the rest of us are presumably stepping up. i wanted to rest and relaxin the final sem but instead it seemed to be in contrary.
3. my plan to go places ard the sch bef graduation is underway. yunnan garden and president lodge have been cleared and there remains the chinese heritage center and others to come. my wish of attending a campus concert is fulfilled with liang wen yin's thx to shimin. perhaps a lunchtime concert?
4. so much schwork. what an irony. 15au, the one sem with the least au. yet, im not on par with the pace. motivation is seriously lacking. and alt investment is one of the crappest mod ever. 2 quizes with 0. hows that? the prof promised an exam with similar format. thx.
5. got so bored that i decided to take on a part time job at a cpa firm doing tax. starting today in fact, mon/wed. that shld make me a more efficient person instead of wasting my life away.
6. grad trip. my headache for the mth is finally resolved. now juz gotta settle the dates and book the air tic real soon! my dream of a complete europe hol is dashed aft realizing time is not with me. can only make do with the famous few places. and try again next time. gotta make it gd.
7. a short but seesawing relationship came to nth. it probably didnt mean to happen anyway. im glad its all clear
