History in the making!

0.92 Sing = 1 Aud

How can this be?!

It's like the world is against people like me who are graduating this year. Used up so much money in exchange for my university fees.

Now the choice for work is definitely preferred in Singapore though I myself would prefer to stay in Aussie.

Small dilemma, should I continue my casual work in Aussie?

Reasons not to:
1) It's near exams
2) It's not as worth it as before with the drop in Aus Currency =p
3) I have all the time to work after I graduate

Reasons to:
1) It's still money =p
2) maybe the time dedicated to work might spur further productivity in remaining time left
3) The amount earned is still WAY higher compared to most casual jobs in Singapore (17+*0.92 > 5 or 6)

Last week of uni

Last week of uni! Appreciate the hardwork of Actuarial Students in the University of Melbourne 2008 class =D Would post more class pix soon.

Reading through Contingencies and writing notes up, working through each column has made me learn to appreciate the act of revising immediately after lectures (where i usually fall asleep.. despite it being my last week of uni!)

Actuarial statistics and time series really wreck my brains out.






staring at the sky, she rethinks her actions and the situation.
was it simply constant contact? her playful nature re-emerges when it's time to be serious. that's why she cant focus.

it takes two hands to clap. pull back. its not the time.

Life long lessons

Lessons learnt:

How to be socially nice
- not be too direct
- suggest participation

How to socially enter a conversation
- do not appear 'high and mighty' or snobbish
- be humble and be eager =)

How to get a smooth conversation
- not be too picky and fussy about the way others speak (don't point out their silliness really..)
- accept the different style that people speak with

when motivation becomes a distraction
yellow light go slow

0% Tests

The result of having 0% tests is to be lazy and not study hard, to see the standard without attempting the topic. The outcome? 1.5 questions out of 3 questions attempted for the first test and probably everything wrong for the 2nd test.

Drumming at ocf today was fabulous! At least for the initial practice.. Somehow things didn't seem to coordinate that well during the actual singspiration =x A bit upset that xx sang double time for the last song though.. but it was good practice for future drumming. Overall happy on the ability to improvise =D

she wanted to go but he wanted her to stay. she struggled but he resisted. she slipped and he pulled her up with a strong firm grip. submission wasn't on her mind despite learning it from ephesians. but.. is it that stage yet? It's moving way too fast. way too fast.

Balancing studies and social - sucess?

Morning - 5 hours of uni classes
Afternoon - Swim for an hour
Evening - Free Budget Kungfu Movie Screening - 2 hours
- Dinner @ Neil's - 2 hours
- Home - touch up on assignment (.0000001 hours)
- update blog (0.01 hours)

Pretty successful I'll say. Quite an achievement even if I do say so myself. Unfortunately the home bit timing is pretty inaccurate. Lol.

just lying on his shoulders made it all so comfortable. the security of his hugs. sighs. but she's shy. almost as shy as he is.

that time of the semester

It's time! The time for isolation and determination to flourish!

Instead of the usual practice of doing that, somehow my social life has improved even compared to the past few weeks! This shouldn't be happening.. should it?

Perhaps the act of balance between studies and socialising CAN be made possible.. I feel much at ease, but does the quality of my work suffer?

sitting at the edge of her seat, she realises the lack of space that she had to herself. But she didn't mind. No, none at all.

rants - not a poet

I don't know what i'm tired of.. when i haven even started to try

just finished Code Geass R2 .. Don't think there's an episode 26 is there?

It's time to stop procrastinating and seriously consider what i am doing with my life.. oh wait, no time for that. I need to get better grades first.

At least I understand Pensions and Contributions. I should have strived to understand GLMs as well but my procrastination abilities and urge for Code Geass R2 far surpasses my urge to stay ahead while i could.
