weh, somehow it feels so surreal. i can't see myself sitting at a desk for 3 hours writing an essay. i think i'll just stone through out the first one hour before i realise i don't have enought time and adrenaline catches up with me.

*cries* *gets dragged by yy to study roomuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu* 

bye bye Honours Degree~ bye bye Pass with Merit~~~ hmmm, i think i saved my Pass ba, if not i really can just end my university life right here and now.

Lets see... Friday paper: Marketing. died. no time to write. nothing to say. i wonder how these two factors can coexist, but somehow they came together quite nicely for me. (>_<)

Today... Accounting. i think that sums up everything. Accounting. the stupidest thing is, the exam format and questions are extremely similar to last semester's; and i tried them! its just that i can't do them even with my textbook in front of me; and my senior can't save me... so in the end its the same jumbled up mess of figures, with all the accounts in all the wrong places. (the figures won't balance; off by $400,000)

the 30% question too; i SPOTTED it! 'provisions for something'! i drilled it in this morning! but somehow i just forgot what items to credit and debit; which most likely means 0%. (the marks come in pairs) so i am so so so so dead.

i haven't summoned up the courage to refer back for the answers for the last question...

sigh~ statistics exam on thursday; i'm so not taking chances this time. will mug hard! 

and its official; i'm fat. i stare at myself in the mirror, and OMG, i've round cheeks, fat thighs, flabby arms... and .gasp. of all things, a tummy! if yy wasn't holding me down i would have thrown myself off the corridor onto the carpark. haha.

basically, during exam time, all i ever do is sit in the air-conned study room, munching on pringles, cookies, love letters, chocolates, hello pandas and wang wangs, half of which don't belong to me. and the food storage just gets bigger and bigger, as more people gets 'motivated' to buy food to share, me included.

and when we're a big group together, we tend to go for dinner, lunch, supper together... snack together... so basically my monthly allowance had been busted on 2 weeks worth of snacks and extra meals. and we ordered pizza yesterday as well. i've only $19 to go till the end of November; i guess i'll have to spend on credit again... 

and lastly, apparently there's a she-hamster running amok on our floor this afternoon with her new-born little one. i didn't see it, but there was a big hoo-ha as 13 hamsters managed to open their cage. they've all been caught, but i have the feeling its gonna happen again soon; the mom had escaped twice already today. will be fun.

hey hey hey~ the coolest thing just happened! i was happily closing my Freecell game (12wins straight in a row; pretty good considering my record before today was 50%) deciding to start mugging for the day when i heard these screams and shrieks and scampering from outside.

=damsels in distress=

so i popped out and yep, there was this huge bug that's about the size of a roach (about 5cm) that flew into my neighbour's room and is sticking rather obstinately onto the carpeted study table board.

being ever helpful, i volunteered to get it out. switching off the lights doesn't help. (somehow i think it only applies to moths and ants). den i tried to scrape it off with my stats notes, but then it crawled into the shelf. and crawled out again. and crawled in... and crawled out... in... and out...

so i decided to just FLICK the bloody thing off in one decisive motion and hope it flies in the right direction. (anywhere but towards my face) and you wouldn't believe how well it CLUNG to the board. it was like trying to move a rock with a flimsy piece of tissue. 

in the end i was going to just give up; since its so stubbornly sitting there, i doubt it would decide to fly around the room anytime within the next 24hours and end up in my neighbour's hair. i was grinning and halfway out of the room, when my ego called out to me.

i am stubborn. i hate an incomplete mission. plus i wanted hero points. so i ran off to get a plastic bag so i can just CATCH it and IMPRISON it, and not have to TOUCH it in the process.

it was rather calm when this big red flimsy thing came over and started groping around it; it just waved its 1.5cm long feelers and touched along the bag. again, i can swear that thing is NAILED to the board. it didn't even lift an mm off the board throughout the process.

den it craaawled forward as i was trying to pinch its butt up.

immediately i took the stats notes and one leg ended up on the paper. den basically i tried to push it onto the paper. one leg... two legs.... by this time the paper was shaking rather hard as my arms are very very tired by now. (held up 120 degrees since the start, and my waist was hurting as i'm leaning over the tabletop at an awkward angle) three legs... and it starting scrabbling for traction. i decided to just heck it and flick it off... and for a minisecond it was hung precariously between the paper and the board and sliding off... and i changed the angle and it crawled onto the wooden part of the desk.

without thinking 'much' (the only thought i had was "AHA!") i flicked it off and it dropped, and i screamed and everyone screamed. and it fell safely onto her handkerchief. before anyone saw that, i scooped it up with the paper, ran for the door... and it dropped again, fluttered and we all screamed again.

after that it was all rather uneventful. put the plastic bag in front of it, and it gratefully crawled in immediately. and out into the open it shall go. with my neighbours avoiding me with the bag of bug like i'm the black plague. sobz.

i actually felt a bit nostalgic and sorry for it as i turned the bag over from the third floor. it was a great battle, finely fought, i thought. you were a worthy opponent. fly to freedom, and may you live to fight again.

and it fell like a stupid rock in one straight line motion down without even unfolding its wings, to end up on its back stupidly scrambling for traction 2 floors down. so dumb.

Blank questions: 30/100 = 30%

Correct answers: 9/100 = 9%

Assuming all remaining attempted questions have a chance of 50% to be correct, and follows a normal distribution, 90% confidence interval for marks allocated to remaining questions would be 61/2 +/- 1.645 (1); expected marks should fall between 29% to 32%.

Hence, my expected grade for the paper ranges from (9 + 29 =)38% to (9 + 32=)41%. Probability that I would fail is 0.95. wargh.

Actually its 100% coz the above formulas are wrong as well. i'd forgotten my statistics now... actually my mind is blank... i want to drop out of school... 

*brushes away the cobwebs*

ohisashiburi desune! (long time no see) let's see, exam's over~ its about time i went home to spend some time with my parents. so back home i went for a week, den went to malacca for 2 days with my family.

malacca: rained both days. the sultan came to stay in our hotel, it was crawling with security and cars. so we decided to move hotels the next day.  found this old peranakan style hotel. its pretty cool; its those kind of super old shophouses that's really long and narrow, and the room had a musky smell. and, the shophouses are... mostly closed due to the rain! wasted RM6  of parking fees; parking there, walking to the eating place and realizing its closed. in the end we spent most of the time walking around scavenging for open 'famous' stores (we had this Culinary Guide to Malacca) and browsing antique stores. bought this ring that's made up of 5 rings intertwined and fitted together. quite neat, show you next time!

den... came back to singapore (it turned sunny immediately when i left the peninsula) and... its time to look for work~!

so yesterday i decided to go surf around jurong point looking for shops recruiting. the bus came while i was on the overhead bridge, so i ran down the stairs as pernormal... slipped and stumbled and fell and twisted my ankle. and the bus uncle nicely waited for me, so i hobbled down the stairs and on the bus. and it was only when the bus left the stop when i realized that if its a serious sprain, i'll end up stranded all alone at JP unable to get back to hall except with a taxi ride. 

 thank goodness it wasn't really serious; i could walk and walk and walk round and round the shopping complex peering into shops. and no one wanted me! everyone's looking for someone who could commit 3 months at least. *cries* i should have just slept at home and saved myself the trouble.

den went back for scrabble training - left at 2am while the rest continued till 5. eep.

yep, the training schedule's out --- scrabble training monday and sunday evening; darts training tuesday and wednesday evening; table tennis (tentative) training monday afternoon. and manga course on saturday~ and two events to plan for, so there'll be committee and sub-committee meetings splattered all over the place. i guess its a lucky thing i didn't get a job after all. ^ ^ 

P.S. i just had to say this: i had this dream a few days ago. its those kind of super short dreams where you were somewhere for a short while den the dream disappears, and after a while, you dream of something else. for a super short while i was in this room filled with white fluffy soft toys and white furry terriers! and by the time it sunk in i'd already moved on to another dream... but i just can't get it out of my head. *hugs mao*

woot! today's the last day of resfest, something like a film festival, held at nanyang school of fine arts. its a 4 day event, and i volunteered as a helper for yesterday and today. cool~

we mainly did ushering, reception and cleaning up, for about 10 hours each day? the fantastic thing about this is that we get to see a lot of designers and the sponsors for the events, we can sneak in to watch after most of the audience have entered, and we gain precious experience points, crucial for the event we NTU are organizing next year. (Image Reel; you'd better come. its free)

and the highlight of the day is... we can take back the Resfest boxes today! basically, outside the theatre there is this lounge where stacked boxes printed and designed with the Resfest logo take the place of tables and shelfs and walls and stools. then we can take them back with us after the festival!

while most audiences and volunteers made off with one nice cubic box, i staggered home with 4 collapsed boxes. not that i was greedy, mind you, 2 were for my club room, 1 is for my friend, and only ONE is for yours truly. heh. thankfully the mrt wasn't crowded, otherwise i would have been arrested for disruption of public peace or mischief or some other thing.  haha.

my arms are hurting. and... the skies just came crashing down on me all over again. (explains: crashing schedules) hey! my jap exam's the coming sunday! i need all the luck in the world to pass! give them to me!!!! roar!
