Oh No..

Just another 4 days wor.

Seriously, i still don't like exams.. i tend to forget a lot of the things i've studied, and it'll take 2-3 days for it to sink in.. where got so much time?

Then the lighting seems to behave in a weird way at night. It just won't work after the rewiring. Sadly, couldn't use the living room tv while studying.. had to switch to FM radio le. At least, the living room is better for studying.. so long as there isn't any computer.. hahaa.. my room had 2.

Short of time, yet, i couldn't miss the "death note" anime at 7.30pm daily. It seems, the schedule is more or less 'fixed', at least for the coming 20 more days.

I shall be very very glad after the 1st paper.

I Miss

Phew.. finally done with the world's most difficult consolidation accounts set by my lecturer.. almost all 31 of them. Well.. i was supposed to finish it long ago.. but, i think i can remember it better by doing it now. All in all, it took me a week or so just getting stuck on consol.. what the.. if it doesn't come out on the actual day, i can go bang wall le.

Only a week to FR.

I've been missing out on quite a bit.. and i missed quite a lot. I miss crubbing on wednesdays, eating good food, and nua-ing all day long at home. I miss pubbing for EPL and meeting up with friends to la kopi. I miss playing mahjong (though i don't miss losing money even at 10-20) and going for orchestra practices.. Of coz, i can always do them if i want to.. if only time is on my side.

But i've been studying diligently.. but perhaps i can do a lot more better if i wasn't that stubborn. Oh well.. at least i've cleared one of the world's most difficult.. lol.

A pity i can't watch the finals of the EPL (outside that is).. and even champions league finals also.. "clash of the titans" leh.. lol.. one of the closest EPL champions fight lor.

7 more days, and i'm sure i can finish my preparations for FR by then. Hopefully.

I'm Stuck

I'm stuck.

Argh.. it really hinders my pace wor... but i just want to know how come. I don't like the feeling of not knowing. Tried as i might, i just couldn't get it.

Sometimes very pek chek d.. coz one thing leads to another, and one wrong move equals to all wrong.

Just in case, i'm referring to accounting.. though sometimes other things do behave the same way.. lol. My concern now is only exams and exams alone.

Already turned my bio clock upside down.. now i've been sleeping in the day and trying to get unstucked at night.. but sigh leh.. coz i've been trying and yet couldn't get what i want.

Needed lots of help.. especially from coffee and such.. ahaha.. i've become addicted somehow.. perhaps after the whole exam saga, things would very much return to normal, perhaps even a new phrase. It certainly will, and i'm looking forward to it.

10 more days till FR, i know i'll be very glad when it's all over. Right now, i just need that bit of inspiration and that bit of wisdom to get me through.

For every other things else, there is a depends.

Same Same.. But DIfferent

Ok, i know what it feels like.. been there plenty of times le.. yet everytime seems much the same. Perhaps it'll end the same too.

Perhaps not this time.. it just is different. Maybe i'll get a different result, something that is better.

FR is not easy at all, but i hope to get at least a lower on this.. the problem being, we had a different examiner. Who knows what pattern she will chute? Sigh leh.. coz FR is so so difficult. Consol accounts is already killing me le.. and still got the Income Theory, FRS, Construction Contracts, Leases, Taxes, Exchange Rates, Framework, etc.. wow lor.

And plus the weather is so very warm these days.. i mean really very warm, even at 3am.. not a very nice environment to study in.. (my a/c cmi le.. and the fan is just blowing the warm air.. argh..)

Just heard, CQ steamboat just increased their price again.. from $15 to $18.. lol.. it was just $12 2 years ago leh.. they think what? We all cabbage head ar? Don't want to eat at cq le.. i'm just not happy at the way they treat us.

Same stuffs, different price..and maybe a even cmi service. What the?

A day since pakki got his botak cut.. and it just feels so different lor.. i'm not very used to it.. haha.. but still acts the way he does. I think he isn't use to it too.. poor pakki, he must have wondered where all the beard go.

Another One

A very slow pace on my revision.. and i think all the FR is actually making me more dumb.

Spent another day looking for answers.. well.. coz.. the solution is wrong. Zzzz.. waste time leh. I could balance that sheet anyway.. but with the solution, i couldn't do it. It is, all but just another mark out of the 100.. maybe it won't even come out on that day wor. Of coz, knowing is one thing, remembering is another. My STM is getting so bad that i sometimes don't remember what my point is..

I'll be behind time liao le la..

Break from Break

Taking a break from my break.

Been doing my FR revision.. and 24 more days to the paper.. zzz. This exam is taking its toll on me.. headaches, dark eye circles, eyebags, pimples.. zzz. Stress leh.

While revising FR just now, pakki came and lay down near me.. lol.. keep me company leh. Sigh.. nowadays nobody to 'push' me to study.. and i find it difficult to initiate my study mode on my own. Ya.. my peers had graduated.. i need not stress it more. In the past, i'll travel to places just to study with my peers, no matter how far.. coz i knew i'd be distracted at home. Studying makes me sleepy as always.

But then.. i had to complete my academic tour. (for whatever reason)


Pakki keeping watch on me.. lol.. as if he knows i like to take a break here and there.. lol.

"~ ~ I heard a rumor~" .. actually it was kind of confirmed already. Not my antenna that picked it up.. i just heard it. My antenna was severed anyways. Just that, i don't know what actually happened. Not a piece of news to be joyous about though.. but in the end, who knows? It might prove to be the rainbow path leading to that pot of gold.

The 3 crabs are now together in 1 tank.. and they are feeding well with the 'new' PM feed.. just that i still haven't 'import' the shells.. zz.. coz i don't know how many i should order. The shipping is around 10 USD leh.. then i order 10 30 US cents shells.. ahahaha.. so dumb lor. I still haven't got my paypal account done yet.. ahahaha.. argh.. can someone lend me?

Anyway, they can wait.. already waited for 6 months le.. (and that's how long they've been with me).. think 2 more months isn't too much wor.. if not, i just had to call PM to check with them. Zzzz.. don't know which *ding ding* always buy and hoard.. everytime no stock 1.

Some updated pictures of my crabs:


They seems to be very close to each other wor.. haha.. tall checking on venti after molting.


Erm.. i don't know what to say.. either they are trying to get into the circus or what..

And some pictures of my hamster:

Bacon in holding tank.. it's eyes are red.. becoming 'evil' le..


In the "space capsule" extension that cost SGD 14.. lol... i used to think that i could create a maze of tubes for the hamster.. but then again, i think better not.. it just takes up too much space, and collects too much dust.


In its main cage.. the past version is a 100% plastic tank.. something like that of a fish tank.. but then, that tank has little ventilation.. making the whole habitat smells rather bad. This version is much better.. and the 'fly wheel' is kind of unique too.. really suspended in air one leh.

Perhaps after bacon is gone, i might just give all the cage away.. lol.. if not, maybe sell the cage away.. now got too many pets to look after.. already, Pakki alone is making everything different. Oh ya.. did i also mention that the lifespand of hermit crabs are 15 years? LOL.. but really, i've grown a liking to this hobby. Ya.. keeping crab is a hobby.. just like horn playing. (i just like to niam and niam about these ^^)

Thanks to the stronger coffee, i can get the midnight oil burning. I'm so dependent on caffeine (in coffe/tea form of coz..) nowadays lor.. and it's turning my teeth all yellow... zzz.Too bad, I can only concentrate better at night, studying on the floor with the tv on. LOL.. weird habit i got.. but it works well. So i got to mug throughout the night.

Missed MG last sunday, coz i slept at 6am.. but maybe later won't miss.. all thanks to that cup of 30 cents coffee..

24 more days only, 45 more days to the end of darkness (i hope i don't chwee by the end of all these).. then i can crub all i want, open all the bottles, go brewerkz have the good food and beer, and celebrate all day long~ ^^ Now ask me go crub i also no mood wor.. =( I just have to endure.. and score. LOL.. working doesn't seems so fun anymore.. haha..

Been starting a whole lot earlier for the past few sems, and ended up doing all sorts of redundant short notes of some mod.. in fact, what i'm doing was just summarizing the whole set of lecture notes.. lol.. just to answer 4 random question. In the end, i don't remember any of those notes at all. I always want to know how come some theory comes about.. but then hor, it isn't needed.. they just want the answer.. not the explaination. Not point knowing the theroy behind it right? Won't have to time to use logic at the actual exam also lor.

Ok.. i've taken enough break.. time to go mug somemore, then be early for MG finally.

Mornië utúlië.....

Consol accounting is so kss difficult. Spent 5 hours just to find where the 4 mil went to.

Mornië utúlië.

My Academic Profile

14th April - another month, and it'll be the beginning of the end of my life as a student.

30 days is quite a lot, that is if i study everyday. Based on past experience (and results) i ended up studying only for a week or so.. lol.. well then again, nothing is impossible.. i've been boring myself for the past 3 days with some of the dino era games.. just so that studying will appear relatively interesting. As usual, it's the same reason that made me able to score only 7/100.


16 bit de wor.. lol.. where to find?

Thankfully, i'm all done with them.. at least this time round, it's not in between the papers. I'm always envious of those who can quarantine themselves during the exams period.. really wow-ing wor. I know i won't be able to.. not in the past, not now, and surely not in the future. I don't like to study, and i don't do it.. it's a fact.

I do have my own share of achievements too. At least i did well during my secondary 2.. lol.. and since then, it's all the way chwee. Perhaps too complacent le.. becoz, i know i can.. it's just that i don't want (academically). And this was to become my bad habit, and it triggers off a chain reaction.. until i finally got delayed for the 1st time. My 1st failure was during jc.. i practically failed all my physics papers.. excpet the only one which is the actual 'A' level exam. I spent 1 hour going through the paper, and the rest of the 2 hours playing with my calculator.. lol.. then i still didn't dare to walk out of the exams hall halfway. Then i got through the 'A' level just like that.. with passes in all my papers, but not good enough for entry into the then 2 local uni. Retook 2 more times, but gave up halfway as usual.

Then came uni year 2.. as if don't know what happened.. i failed 3 out of 4 papers.. walked out of one, absent for another, and did half for the 3rd. Year 3 was average.. though i finally got 2 lowers.. but i did forgo one of the paper again.. and that was the 'hidden module' that i'll be repeating this year. Actually after the year 2 exams, i already knew that there'll be a 4th year for me.. coz i wasn't allowed to squeeze all the modules into my 3rd year.. 3 is just 1 too much. Anyway, hopefully by recalling what brought me to where i am, perhaps i could really put more effort in my coming papers. The keyword is 'more'.

Mornië Utúlië

Zzzz.. got reminded how near i'm to IM (actually i'm nearer to FR, which is just 40 days away). On the a bit brighter side, after these papers, i'll be graduating.

The additional year was really not worth it.. i've gained almost nothing... ok la.. maybe gained weight. LOL.. coz eat and eat.. and sleep and sleep. I've missed out quite a lot too.. just that time, the economy was better.. now lei? Graduate liao maybe only got grass to eat nia.

Still unsure of where i'll be heading.. accounting or banking. It's so diffult to choose coz, i don't want to go where the money is.. but all my money is in this banking degree. I just don't want to waste the knowledge lor.

40 more days to the beginning, 60 more days till the end. I'm waiting.

It's been Raining

I kept getting stuck at the busstop these few days coz the rain was too heavy liao. Rather not make myself sick trying to walk in the rain.. especially when 最美的不是下雨天. Walking in the rain is not romantic anymore.. lol.. it's quite dumb actually.

So i waited and waited.. and waited and waited.. but the rain did not stop. Was actually going to fall asleep le.. hahaa.. coz was back from lecture the other day after the zouk.. then as always, accounting kills brain cells rather quickly.. and makes me hungry also. In the end, i bored until i began to revise at void deck that was connected to the busstop.. lol.. revise leh.. what a rare sight.


Taken while waiting for the rain to drop.. really 不美 wor..


Another one.

The follwing day, was at TTSH visiting grandma. She had a stroke a few days back.. and it was kind of worrying for the whole village and the extended one. Thankfully, grandma was ok le.. just had to watch the diet and such in the future.

Was out with a friend for lunch, and so told the village chief that i'll go on my own. Reached there and saw grandpa there accompanying grandma.. awww.. so sweet hor? ("我爱他 因为他不爱说话".. awww) Then after another hour, my cousins came also. Suddenly the ward like market like that lor.. haha.. coz the other patients also had visitors. So glad to hear grandma say that she can be discharged soon.

On the way back, was again stucked at the busstop.. zzz.. but i didn't had any revision notes with me.. no lecture that day wor.. then stone and stone at the busstop lor.. what a waste of time at the busstop.

That pakki hor.. really brought a lot of laughter to the village, and even to the extended village. awww.. pakki hao li hai wor.. must reward him with.. hmm.. less snacks le.. haha.. coz he eats a bit too much.. then worry that he eat until sick lor.. then jiu make all of us worry le.

But come what may.. the rain will always stop.. maybe no rainbow, but surely the weather will be fine... and then after some time, rain again... it is just another cycle ba..

In the End..

... i still went for the revision class. Didn't really want to go because i don't like the 'surprise' element. Like when lecturer give surprise test.. zzz.. i didn't revise, got surprise no surprise also will have the same outcome one. But then again, i'm glad i went.. (coz no surprise test) Took a few more notes on some of the accounting adjustments and so on.. and thankfully i still remember how to do some of them.

Been wanting to fall sick during lecture.. lol.. the aircon too cold i think.. but after the tea break, everything seems ok le. Too many matches of DOTA le.. lol.. play until want to sick. I still miss SIM de coffee. LOL.. freeflow de leh.. drink until no need to sleep.

Forgot to bring my calculator during accounting class (hope i remember to bring during the actual exam).. and got to do mental sums all the way. Zzzz.. then all the while i couldn't fall asleep in class becoz my leftover brain had to keep calculating %.

3 more months... just 3 more months.. chiong ar~~~~

The end of Holiday is near

Argh.. and there goes my *holidays. I've been on permanent holiday since the sem ends, and it was supposed to be the time to study and prepare. Sad to say, i've been wasting this much time, just in pursue of something intangible. Nearly end of march, and i've been making deadlines after deadlines, just so that i can delay studying... but no longer. Come tomorrow, i'll need to go school for revision lectures... awww.

Been deprived of much sleep, coz slept rather late the night before. 4.30am then i start to fall asleep, and then 2.5 hours later, pakki woke me up with his bark.. and only i woke up.. zzz.. the other 2 villagers were still sleeping wor. Pakki got his breakfast at 7am, and then i can't seems to fall asleep again.

Ar... tomorrow lesson.. no.... mood.. to.. go...

Sigh.

...............................

A lot of happenings these days at both the micro and macro level. Such an 'interesting world'.

Was at newton having one sumptuous feast there. Got chicken wings, bbq stingray, and got hum also! LOL.. long time no eat hum le.. and so all craving for it. The chicken wing there was super nice also~ Just that the stall owners are still as scary. This was worse than CP lor.. Got customer walk in front of their stall means must grab. But no wonder.. coz most of them sell the same things.. just that some are really nicer then others. A little expensive, but nice food nonetheless. Nice food makes me happy.. of coz when i got no cough, food will taste good, and i'll grow fat.

After food is either dota or movies.. seldom la kopi 1. So watched ang mor version of 'the eye'. Similiar story in a different culture.. looks different, and feels different. Maybe next time should check out the english version de infernal affairs. Then popcorn was very 'heaty' lor.. guess i too greedy le.. ate too much and now sore throat again.. ahaha.

Slept super late these few days.. as if got many things to do. 4am the average and i woke up at 9am. Internet connection was down and suddenly i realised how much the internet had drained my time. Anyway, fixed the connection.. but wasted in buying 1 splitter. Nevermind, i learnt how the wire was wired.

Saturday was off to band at tampines again. Set off early.. very early.. at 4.15pm. But then stupid road works jam the whole TPE. Was standing there like don't know got 30 minutes extra or not lor.. maybe more. Coz i reach TM really late, and had to rush for dinner also. Then this bunch of kids was playing with ice.. then shoot dao wo lor.. super suay i think. Tio jam, tio shoot.. what else?

Orchestra practice was part sectionals. As usual no section.. lol.. but i feels that sectionals drain energy also. And the rest can refer to THP le. Kind of mixed feelings for this practice. I heard praises wor... ahahaa.. but at the same time disappointed also over some attempts. Ok la.. got ears d can hear, i don't wish to say more.

Nice was the trip home was much shorten.. thanks to ade and her brother. Already was very tired le.. i can't imagine if i were to transfer buses back.. confirm reach home and my face turn black one.

My remaining hamster just reached 12 months old le~ LOL.. at least this one lives up to its 'average' lifespand.

Packed my room, and rearranged my desks and comp desks.. lol.. now all ready to chiong studies le.. sigh. I want at least 2 lowers.. but must aim upper.. if not all end up one grade down.

Concert coming soon, but prelims come sooner. And i haven't started yet.. ahaha... this time cham liao lo.. i don't want to run away wor. See how it goes ba.. just 2 more days only.

The End is Near

Yay~! I completed all my lectures le! So glad it's all over.

And it signals that the exams are round the corner.. sigh~ All not ready yet.. lol... i need to clear all my other 'commitments' soon.. i need to get ready for this exam.

Paid nothing this coming eRev.. ahahah.. i am poor, i am poor. And then my chair had to break.. now no money to buy new ones wor.. haha.. and then i dismantle the wheels, and ended up sitting at ground level.. but with a very nice back rest. So i seldom use my desktop le... instead i'm doing my work on laptop. Maybe i'll do all my studies at the gound level too.

Time to work hard.. but sometimes i find that motivations doesn't last.. hahaa.. perhaps i need some other motivations. Perhaps.

The end is near.

Missed

Don't know what seems wrong.. i've been feeling not alright for the past few weeks. Feeling weak and no appetite.. maybe it's the post cny syndrom. For the 1st time, i missed my friday FR coz i wasn't feeling well. Walked to the bus stop but decided to visit the GP instead. Sadly, my GP isn't open for business.. heard that he might be retiring.. so i went home just after 30 minutes of leaving home. I don't like the feeling of missing the FR lecture.. it leaves me rather empty. The coming friday will be the last FR lecture.. hopefully i can catch up with the rest.. if not, really must ask and ask le. Like what my lecturer said, "it will be an insult to the people doing consol out there if you can do it just by reading notes..." I already knew how difficult it is. Hopefully, i will go into this line someday. The banking sector is not really the kind of life i pursue.

Came saturday, i missed orchestra practice. The kind of same feeling of missing lecture again.. but i felt that in order not to wear my health out, i should really rest. But things were left unsettled at SCC. Instruments were to be moved to HQ, and sorry, i wasn't there to help. Thanks to all who were there to help send my instrument and files over. I'll recover soon and be back at the next practice.

The sort of feeling of missing something that could otherwise be done was quite frustrating. And this feeling kept repeating itself since J2. Kind of helpless against such, yet perhaps not the cause.

Was out today and my schoolmates said that i've lost weight. Quite very true, and as confirmed by the bathroom scale. Haiz. Maybe if this keeps on, i might become a bag of bones by the time the exams are over.

Everytime i met up with my friends that have graduated, i really felt foolish for wasting a whole year of opportunities (coz i retained). I really wanted to work, so that i could reap what i sow. Ya.. those working will agree that working sucks.. but then.. total finacial independence is what i aimed for. Though i stopped receiving allowance and paid for my school feels, some of the bills and insurance are not paid by me.. so finacial independence is what i seek.. and finally financial freedom in the not very far future. Living on passive income is perphaps one of the common goals of the common people.. but it is by no means easy (considering the kind of life i yearn for after retiring, and the age i might decide to retire). CPF is IMO just to make sure that people can be indepedent financially, not really freed. Of coz, if i'm the sole winner for the coming 10 mil toto angbao draw, it'll be a different story... in my dreams ba.. lol.

Still not recovered fully.. but at least a bit better.. better than it getting worse.. and just in time, coz i need to be studying soon.. 1 year is already too much.

In Orchestra Today,

i sounded bad. Especially so during waltz of the flower. Maybe the flower waited for 2 weeks, and hence withered? And not only i think that i sounded quite bad... that is, quite bad le.

My tone was bad, counting was bad. The only excuse i could think of was maybe i haven't recovered.. lol.. actually i also don't have the strength to be disappointed too much. Also, the whole orchestra sounded weird too.. maybe coz there were less people around.. and as usual, the lowest brass was again, the horn. The we only had 1 cello and 1 bassoon.. no double bass, no tuba, no nothing.

And then there was something difficult to say.. lol.. anyway, it wasn't my idea.. so i decided not to say. In the end, the one who wanted to say also didn't say, coz it was really difficult to say. LOL.. no idea what i'm talking about right? LOL.. it isn't anything bad.. just a minor change of certain order.

Bo form today i guess.

Actually was quite recovering from the flu + cough + fever + headache le.. but then i studied through the night on thurdays becoz i thought there was going to be a class test the following day. But then.. lecturer say no test wor. I thought 100% sure got test lor.. coz he said that cannot owe after cny... lol.. i guess the cny mood really affects a lot of people wor. And so after 1 whole night of midnight oil, my throat burns again.. and it got worst when it rained on friday. Weather really fierce these days lor.. how to recover like that? And i lost weight at quite a scary pace.. already almost 2kgs gone like that.. lol.. when will i reach my 'optimum' weight?

Then in class on friday, a group of int students sat beside me.. i usually had nothing against them, just that sometimes they talk a lot and make some weird noises that i haven't heard before... other than that, their enthu participation in class doesn't quite bother me, not to mention that they usually fill the front few rows. (now i guess i know why they sit so near le.. coz end of lessons must get lecturer to sign ma..) Anyway, this particular group was really very mei li mao. Lecturer was passing the notes around, and this bugger sitting beside me don't even bothered to pass it to me.. why, i transparent ar? Wa lao eh lor.. i was so damn angry.. even if not enough also didn't bother to let me know. AND, it wasn't 1 time.. it was 2 times lor. And i didn't know got 2 sets of notes until the lecturer ask us to change some of the figures.. then i found out i didn't have... KNS.. this group really no manners de. In the end i still got to go to the front to get.. and then hor, they swarm towards the front as if Jay came to our LT like that.. omg.. can't stand them. Next time i better find some seats far far away from these people.

And then this pakki is beginning to act as if he is king le.. ahahahaa.. he actually slept on my bed lor. Don't since when he discovered that my bed is nicer than his.. hahahaaa.. and that is a bad thing.. coz when he wakes up, he will come and 'disturb' me until i wake up.. if not he will bark until someone attends to him.. really king wor.

5 more days to cny, and i couldn't find any cny clothes i liked.. wahhaa.. but i don't want to wear 'old' clothes leh.. lol.. i really no flair in buying clothes lor.. hahaa.. but i got flair in eating, and at the same time not putting on weight.. lol.. so when i recover, i want to eat all the ba kua i can, and drink all the cold drinks i want.. hahaha... seriously, i had quite enough of the 2 daily cans of liang teh at room temperature le. Maybe like what they suggest.. fight poison with poison? lol.. then maybe i really no need to go get my angbaos le..

Long Time No Sick

Its been a while since i last fell ill. Maybe too long never ill, hence this time it lasted quite a while. Coughing and having flu.. plus stomach getting weak also... already almost 2 weeks le, and non of the liang teh and cough drops seems to help. I guess, it must have been the late nights and irregular eating hours. My bio clock seems to be in a mess these days. Quite irritated lo.. plus cny coming soon, and i don't want to miss any of the good food.

Semester ending soon, and i am still clueless of IM.. ahahahaa... wonder what i've been doing.. sigh.. and now feeling so illish, i also won't know whether got time to study for friday's FR test or not.

Almost 15 years living in this estate - from industrial estate to the so-called 'villa' after the upgrading.. and finally there is going to be a train station! Yay~ Hahaa.. and i think is 2 of them! Yay yay~ one of them which is due to complete next year, is near one of the top JC in sg.. and the other, although that station is set to bear the name of my neighbourhood, will be near the 'up the lorry' hub.. if i'm not wrong. LOL.. 塞翁失马 leh... but then again, this newer line will be completed 2020~ lol.. by that time, i might have my own car le. If they really can improve the whole public transport system, maybe i can consider. Just imagine this lor.. from central to west need 1.5 hours.. if i drive, the most is 0.5 hours.. who will want to take some bus that seems more intent on bringing passangers on a sight-seeing ride? Just last friday, IM lesson ended half hour early.. and the naive me thought that i could reach home at least 30 mins earlier, if not more.. but who knows? Stupid buses took a whole half hour to reach, and then like every busstop is packed with half hours' worth of sardines. In the end i reached home LATER than usual... LOL.. It seems strange.. during the non-peak hour, the frequency of the bus is 38 mins! and during peak hours, you can't even get on the bus.. no wonder la.. no wonder the road is so packed with private cars.

Market is volatile these days.. and some say that it's a good time to enter.. IMO, the economy doesn't seems too strong... well, if the strategy is to hold long term, then maybe can invest lo.. provided there is no need of the cash in the near future. There is opportunity cost involved.. and learnt from IM, the best strategy for liquid traders is to hold long term.. which means that, if you don't have superior information - either through extensive research or whatever (by the way, insider trading is illegal.. but then again, the law of large numbers will always win... so who has the most money wins lor), holding long term should be relatively safe. If not, i see no difference from betting big/small. Too bad i didn't major in econmics.. lol.. because they are always right.. for whatever that happened, they always have a reason... 马后炮 i think.. hahaa... And then as if the FIs are not busy with the fallout of the subprime crisis.. there is another pro involved in a trading fraud. The amount surpasses that of the famous nick leeson.. an amount totalling 7 billion. LOL.. 7 billion leh.. is he pro or what? Amazing.

Sigh.. sick liao not a very nice feeling.. like everything also no strength to do.. wondered will the flu bug pass on to the critters at home or not? Hahaa.. 9 days into the molting, grande should be doing well ba.. so are the rest. Even bacon is doing well.. seems like he gained weight again. I on the other hand, have been losing weight.. sigh.. do hope i can recover soon.

Poor Wor..

4 more lectures and it'll be time to prepare for mocks. Just paid nearly 1.6k for the papers alone.. and my bank got reduced by the same amount. All in all, i've spent around 5k more because i retained... and so this year i must really pass.. and attain a lower.. if not, the addtional time and money spent will all go down the drain le. Not as if i enjoyed being a student so much, especially when the cashflow is constantly bugging.. and there isn't any inflow since a long long time.. wondered when i'll go broke. Decided not to attend lectures given by the lecturers from UK.. partly coz i want to save the $50 per lesson.. and also coz i won't really have the time to ponder over the additional lecture materials.

And then the Bull is lao sai-ing.. almost can see the bear de head liao. Everyday seems like a new low (don't know whether the revised index had anything to do with it).. lol.. whoever said that the old STI would break 4k by the end of 2007 is a real genius. But who would have thought.. the lowering of rates due to the credit squeeze, rising fuel prices, shortage of food supply and so on would have flown into the inflation pool.. and then suddenly some agree that it might be worthwhile to realise their gains ASAP. When the BB unload, those retail go pick.. and the BB throw somemore.. and a bit more.. how not to get new lows like that? But then again, it's all a cycle.. and those with the cash to invest might see some new opportunity to kio some 'bargains'.. and especially when the FIs are in need of cash.

Now i really know what is 'leong'. LOL.. and my small small investment also shrink.. luckily my 2nd decision seems to be better.. lol.. at least something learnt.

Poor but at least can DOTA at home for free.. lol. Saved $2.50 per hour like that lor.. lol.. and save transport somemore.. hahaha.. Always dota with the usual few, but i still quite noob.. hahaha.. like what my colleague says, "must have talent one..".. lol..

No more pek chek liao.. lol.. coz i finally know what happend during the nutcracker suite le.. and i thought i was being stupid. But now upon closer 'inspection', the 3/4 was written to sound like 2/4... no wonder i got so confused.. lol.. Tchaikovsky too pro for me le la.. and it was the same case as in Pavane.. no wonder i always thought i couldn't count.. it just sounds different from what it seems to be. And i can be certain, the dance of yao will also have the same problem.. but nevermind.. at least nutcracker cracked liao.

Pakki seems to like to sleep in my room these days... lol.. maybe coz got other critters to accompany him? LOL.. Shifted the tall crab (s.rug) into the main tank to live with the others le.. so far so good.. just that the venti crab (L.rug) grew so large after molting that the tanks seems too small for it.. maybe 好吃好睡 wor..

Maybe financially poor now... but ain't so poor in other aspect.. lol.. just 6 more months to go, and maybe i may regret that i say i didn't want to be a student.

Deprival

Spent another day of 2008 rushing assignments and tutorial questions. Now i really can kick myself for choosing this module. Deprived of sleep for almost 36 hours, and no.. i am not training for the impreza challenge.

But then again, having clear all the assignments, i can take a break for a week before the 31 consolidation questions are here to deprive my sleep again.

Met up with some of my friends for cq steamboat again.. whahaha.. i will never get bored eating cq steamboat.. and after that is DOTA again. Strangely, i was very lousy today.. lol.. and practically tio owned the whole 2 sets of game... haha.. i guess either i really very seh today, or really very lousy liao.

Having orchestra practice tomorrow.. still don't know whether will be going or not.. i think i can sleep until 5pm then wake up lor. And the thought of not practicing.. lol.. i guess my 2008 will be very busy lo.. busy but happy. ^^

First Entry of 2008~

New year le~ but nothing seems new to me.. especially my FR assignments.

Been very busy for the past 2 weeks coz of the need to rush my assignments. 1st time in my whole uni life that i'm so "willing" to do assignments and study for test. Slept no earlier than 6am for the past 2 days.. and i guess today won't be of any difference. Thankfully (and hopefully), i can take a break and "enjoy" the new year after friday's lessons. I can thank all the coffe i had to keep me awake after that.

And then the exams invoice came.. around SGD 1300.. lol.. super broke le.. and don't complain if you hear me complain.. i am really really broked. The exams timetable is out too.. super glad that the dates of the papers are evenly spread, and all are in the afternoon. My last paper should be before 6th june.

Just this morning (early morning i mean.. around 3am), i saw something strange in my ruggie's tank.. i saw something blue.. yupz.. the blue haha crab emerges from its molt! Which means... the conditions are right. I'm so happy.. haha.. effort (and money) not wasted after all. I held the blue haha crab by its shell, and i saw it's new exoskeleton (the crab's own shell).. it is now a bit purple in colour, and i think it sort of grew bigger le.. whahaa.. and as usual, with the blue haha crab around (the biggest of the 3, now even bigger), the settings in the tank got "tanked" around.


Molting means that the crab is shedding it's exoskeleton, which is the red part... like snake shedding its skin like that. The blue part is its home (or clothes if you like), and it doesn't grows, unlike that of the tortise. It came from dead snails and the crab doesn't grow it. It is NOT attached to the crab by any cells or whatsoever.. and the crab can choose to come entirely out from the blue shell if it chooses to (and get attacked most probably).. hope it clears some doubts. ^^ (in this case, the shell is blue in colour la.. i am still looking for a unpainted natural shell and hopes it moves into it some day)


LOL.. all camera shy.. L,rug with M.rug (large ruggie with medium ruggie.. zzz.. stupid me forgot to give them names.. ahahahahaa) anyway, the L.rug is slighty purple.. maybe the exo still new, haven't really harden yet.

Its been 3 weeks since i last saw the blue haha crab.. lol.. and i'm quite happy to see it still alive... whahahahaa.. too bad it missed both xmas and new year. Now only left the smallest crab (S.rug)in the molting area. It should be much more of a challenge for the small crab becoz it had some missing legs.. by right (i read online), it would be more "stressful" for them to grow new legs.. but i guess it should be alright. By the way, both smaller crabs had missing legs when i got them from the shop.. lol.. they are sold at $8 each leh.. so no QC. Haha's is different.. a lot of QC, plus i think the crabs are older (by looking at the size), so higher chance of survival.. but then again.. i wondered why the other crab died on the 1st day it came... =X

LOL.. so interesting.. only that the start up is ma fan (very ma fan).. coz i don't know anything about it.. now i know where to get the items le, and so very much easier.. even easier than keeping hamsters.. lol.. plus the small size means they don't really eat a lot also, plus they don't poo much also.. so not much of changing sand or whatsoever... so.. anyone interested to keep ruggues as pets/hobby? Hahaa..
