Got NOR

Took it quite a while to reach, so long that i didn't even want to check the mail liao.

Anyway, my result slip is here, and 'as expected' they typed it correctly.. lol.. don't know to be glad or sad.

Finally over!.. and it was all because of that 3 mods that cost me an additional year.. and one of them was because i absent myself after a 2 week break. It was my last paper lor... If only i just need to retake 2 in my 3rd year... Overall quite a stupid move, but given that year 'plentiful', it's difficult to focus. Ok la.. my fault, and i've paid for it with an additional year and additional school fees too.

Everything seems to be with timing. Graduate also like that, choose modules also like that, and all the more, buy shares also like that. Correct move, wrong time, also gone.

Today the STI rallied down again, after the profit takings, and also the reduced oil production (cut in supply to maintain price = demand is falling = slowdown in growth), falling euro (in order to make exports competitive = falling export = slowdown in growth), plus the chwee-ing of lehman (one of the more hard hit negative news of the week, even though fred and fan was rescued). Today it fell 80 over points, and there is no signs of the economy recovering. Of coz, IMO, i'm quite pessimistic about the economy coz the financial system is integrated across nations. One bank chwee can lead to another bank chwee-ing.. in the end a lot of them chwee, then people get no money to start new biz and they chwee also. Then those that invest in their shares also chwee. Chwee until the point when it can chwee no longer, then perhaps they will be happy. Anyway, i wonder where all the money since before the sub-prime went to. Money can just disappear 1 meh? Surely it must have gone somewhere.. perhaps into the developers' pocket of those estates. In conclusion, the rich just get richer (that is exclude the banks.. they suay la).

Anyway, maybe i might end up in some banks too.. coz i seriously wonder what my degree can do other than banking and finance (becoz it is banking and finance).. or maybe i should go learn how to groom dogs? LOL.. (never work with animals or kids). Haiz.. the coming of NOR means quite a lot wor.. for one, my degree is confirm (it should already but i just want the hard copy to verify) and then, it's time to adjust to a different mode.. afterall, it was one whole year of this kind of lifestyle (or maybe it was 4 since the beginning of my SIM days).. and it is rather challenging to change suddenly. Arr.. i don't want to leave the 'shire'.

Still, a CFG performance coming up on saturday at ICA, we'll be a part of the whole performance playing 2 pieces - xiao ding dang and japanese graffiti iv (without repeats). So.. will you be there?

No NOR

Today i went downstairs to check the mail, but no NOR (notification of results) yet. My friend already got it.. so perhaps it'll be here tomorrow. After which, i have absolutely no excuse le. I know i've been procrastinating on finding a job, and i've given all sorts of excuses.. and i've got loads of them still.

Bear time must hold more cash wor.. so don't anyhow spend. Wait for opportunity and then invest in one good company to maximize wealth. Notice the word is invest, not bet hor. All the salary earned will be eroded by inflation sooner or later. Finance like econs, is quite difficult lor.. coz there are always 2 sides to every story. So oil prices falling is bad news.. depending on the 'majority' of people siding each view (and hence sliding the market direction). They win by numbers. So Mac and Mae got 'rescued' and the STI chiong until don't know like what.. maybe only to chwee a few days later when people starts taking out profit. You'll never know and i'll never know too.. if not i can really forget about going to work and just sit by my comp every morning waiting to earn 3k in an hour (a joke shared by my friend). If only it was so easy, then i can forget about buying toto too.

My hair got shorter by the day.. if this keeps on, i'll be botak before i know it. With a short short haircut, my face looks super plump.. for the 1st time. Suddenly had so much to zhng before work starts, and perhaps, i might take down feature one of these days. Been putting on 3kgs since the euros, and now i couldn't stand hunger pangs. And now i crave for the ribeye steak i saw 2 saturdays back.

And now then i know that pakki got 'special attention' that day at the groomer's. He was giving some treats to take home too. Only he got.. coz the groomer said pakki was very cute. Most probably is the toot haircut he got when my sis tried to DIY. No wonder he seems so happy.

And?

And so they really upload the results today.

And i got what i deserved.. (and prayed for) for i expect no more for what i've put in for this academic year. Since the first paper, i wasn't sure anymore. Was an attempt for a lower really.. yet, it turned out to be a struggle for 3rd, or even just a pass.

And i've got a surprise. It was actually closer to then not to. IM shocked me most.. it was one paper which i didn't know what i was doing and yet..

And as expected, my FR almost buang-ed (+1 only), due to the fact that i did the entire question wrongly and in the process consumed 1/2 of my time and i still got it wrong. Respect to all accountants doing consolidations out there.

And FI after 3 attempts (2 absents), i finally got it. This was my "hidden" module. The fact was that, i didn't go for it (again) during my 3rd year.. and i didn't want to say it (save all those niam-ing from those that cared or just want to niam). Not as well as expected, but it makes no difference (to my classification) since it was the last paper of all my mods.

And the reason why i was so unsure of the outcome was, in the event that i failed 2 mods, whatever i had will be 'downgraded'.. and i might end up with nothing. Nothing after 4 years.. and i don't know how to account for the time + money spent.

And i'm very thankful atm that i've cleared all, secured an hons though perhaps i should have done better. Never been so glad that everything concluded so nicely. It was afterall, a 3+1 years event which dragged for too long already.

And of all, this was one outcome which i'm totally clueless of. It could be either way.. but thankfully, all turned out well.

And i should wait for my NOR before i really celebrate. Anyway, results should be known to all by the coming convocation.

And now what? Time to get ready for full-time job hunting. I might need to ponder on what i want.. if not end up quitting halfway, then got to restart again. Criteria: my 5Ps of a career - prospect, pay, perks, people, place. So it isn't a question of when rather than a question of where. I am all ready (after i get the NOR).

OMG (!)

Rumored that the results will be out very very soon. Should be one of these days, if not today.

OMG.

The Result

Finally.. results are out. Blog experienced a higher visit count.. but, i won't be publishing my results here.. wahaha~

Ok.. now, time to get on again.

Today went comex, saw syl and zx there working.. so hardworking.. lol. Expo was very crowded.. and far too. Felt as though i was going for my exams again.. scary.

It rained the whole day.. i mean, i like rainy days.. but only when i don't need to go out.. but today had appointment with wm le.. so bo bian la.. coz he gian buy laptop for very long liao.. haha.. in the end, bought a duo core for 1.5k.. whoa.. and we waited sooo long for them to fix the additional 512 ram.

After everything was done, it was already 9 plus.. and we didn't have our dinner.. so took a quick bite at bedok corner.. had stingray and chicken wings.. then took 13 from there back to thomson.. wah.. took so long to reach.. and it was almost 12 when we ate our actual dinner. Ba chor mee.. haha.. my favorite leh.. but rushed home instead of nua-ing.. coz results are out.

Ok.. so now the results are known.. and strangely enough.. some still said it won't happen. And this proven 1 point.. "you won't know it, unless it happens to you.." right?

And actually, i got more lost after knowing my results.. and... i think this will be another sleepless night..
