Just came back from China early this morning. The aeroplane took off around 12+am and touchdown here at 6am. Was kind of sleepy when i left the plane but then after that wasn't that sleepy cuz i came back and watch tv all the way til now, including the movies i bought. I bought 3 DVDs in Beijing, it's pirated 1s, like duh..but the quality's not bad. It cost like only S$2 for 1 DVD, compared to Singapore is like around 15 times cheaper. I've got Herbie Fully Loaded, Scary Movie 2 which cost like $40 here and Brokeback Mountain which i don't think they'll ever have this movie released here.

China now is like so darn hot, it's summer and at 4am the sky's bright already. On the 3rd day when we were in Shanghai my bro got sick with high fever then my parents brought him to the hospital to see the doctor..lol. Then after that the nxt day went to Beijing he was still sick. Second day in Beijing he was like much better already and he kind of went a bit bonkers. From that day til yesterday which was the last day, after he bathe he'd come out with only his small little underwear and started jumping on the bed and acting like a sexy skinny superman..lol.

Generally the trip was ok, but it was more towards the boring side. It's been like 7 years since the last time i went to China, and i guess it'll be another couple of years when i'll ever go back again, cuz it's not say fun, but alot of sight-seeing, shopping there is also cheaper but most of the clothes there are like those aunty type, i only liked a few of the clothes i've seen there, but by the time i start to see clothes i like, i've got no mood to buy already..lol.

I've bought 13 bottles of chewing gum, 1 bottle got 40 gums. I'm keeping 4 of em for myself, i just gave 2 of em to my maid to send back to Philippines, 3 are reserved for those who told me they wanted it before i left and 4 more bottles are left for whoever else that wants it..so i guess is 1st come 1st serve.

I think i'll rest for a week, planning to watch Scary Movie 4, who wants to watch tell me. At the same time will be finding a temp job and get the SAT books to prepare for the October exam. So i guess that's it, so whoever wants chewing gum tell me before it all runs out.

Just finished my last exam paper a couple of hours ago, now it's like in the mood to celebrate, but i'm also a bit not in the mood to celebrate cuz exam sucked. Now thinking of holiday already. In like 24 hrs i'll be in the plane to China for a holiday. Not too keen of going to China for a holiday, but at least it's a holiday and it's like better than staying at home to bore myself to death. Will be back on the 24th June, which is next Saturday at around 6.15am. Gonna be so tired on Friday cuz it's a 1am flight tomorrow and don't know whether will be able to slp on the plane. I guess i'll be taking lots of pix and buy lots of stuff so whoever want anything from China can sms me..like if you want gum or what i can get extra for you..lol. (provided if you're a gum addict like me..haha)

So now 'bout the subject on exam. Yesterday was paper 9 which was tax computation. The workings wasn't so bad although i'm sure i did make some mistakes here and there, the theory questions were horrible, but i think i should have done enough to pass it. Today, was the exam on paper 10 which was managing finaces and it sucked!! I don't think i'll pass this paper. The questions were horrible!! The style of the cash flow question that usually was done in class was different and workings was like 10 marks and i didn't know what to do!! The workings for the other questions were something like that also, somewhat unexpected and i didn't know what to do. 1/2 of the theory was ok but the other 1/2 i didn't have a clue on what to write so just writhing junk for all the workings and theory that i had no idea on what to do with em. I'm like so prepared to retake this paper in December. I'll be like ultimately suprise if i passed this paper.

So, after the paper ended today at around 6pm, then they counted the paper and that took them like forever before they let us leave. As usual, it was like super duper crowded. As usual, went to Changi Airport, had dinner by myself at MaryBrown then took bus 27 to Tampines for guitar class at 8pm and reached back at 9.30pm and i was like dead tired, but strange as it is i'm still awake at this time blogging..lol.

I guess this is it then. I'll be back blogging again next Sat 1st thing when i come back from China. Gotta go sleep already, i promised my bro i'll bring him out to play tomorrow morning and i've not packed my bag yet...til the next time..adios.

2 papers have gone and 2 more papers coming next week again..it kind of sucks though, but the good side of it is that i've got a week to study for the last 2 papers. On Monday was paper 6 - Drafting Financial Statements, it kind of sucked. I was quite confident that company account that question would come out, but it didn't! I was expecting cashflow statement to be 1 question and ratio analysis to be a whole different question, but it wasn't meant to be..the 2 were asked in the same question in it came out to be 40 marks as it was the 1st question. I was so hopping that consolidation of balance sheet and income statement wouldn't come but it did come out consolidated profit and loss..partnership came out as expected and finally was almost a whole theory question which was worth 15 marks and totally write crap about it cause i didn't study the theory on the part that was asked. I totally screwed the paper because i couldn't balance cashflow and the partnership. I guess i'll be lucky if i pass this paper.

Took the second paper yesterday, it was paper 7 - Planning, Control and Performance Management, it was so-so, hope i passed this paper, was writing til my hand almost dropped off, there was alot of theory, but some of them i was writing crap, so who knows what the result may be.

As expected, traffic was very bad and will be very bad at expo until next Wednesday, so ppl, if you're planning to go to expo, go after next Wednesday. I wouldn't say it was bad, but rather crazy. It's like squeezing in the train at orchard during the peak period, or it's worse i think. I've been travelling to changi airport then to expo and vice versa cause it's like so much less people and made travelling much much more comfortable. It's so crowded cause there's i think around 1000-2000+ ppl taking the CAT and ACCA exam and you can imagine how bad the situation is. Then after the exam everybody will be going to the MRT station and if it gets real crowded, the platform will be like super crowded, if you're on the escalator, i think there'll be no place to get off it already..lol. I think it'll be stupid to squeeze with everybody to tanah merah and squeeze again in the other train if there's transport back from changi airport and i'm sure the bus stop at expo will also be like super crowded, so if there's bus services home, must well go changi airport then go home right.

So yesterday after exam, came home arount 7.20pm and slack, and am still slacking now, been slacking quite a bit today, fine..i've been slacking the whole day today, but gotta start studying for next week's paper early tomorrow, it'll be the tax and finance papers and i really hate them, but no choice lah..still gotta take. Ok....i know it's boring so i'll just end here. Will be back blogging when there's something to blog...and ppl..pls tag, the tag's been dead for a long long time already.

It's the last weekend before the exams officially begin on Monday and it kind of sucks. This is my final exam and strange it is that i'm actually feeling more relax than the last round of exams in December. The last round i was studying the whole day, nothing but studying the last few days before the exam starts. But this time, yes i've been studying hard, but i've also been playing hard too. Not only did i hit the books, i was stuck with computer games and TV and i don't think i'm as serious in this exam than the last one. I think perhaps between the papers there's kind of a week break so there's more time to study for the last 2 papers. It's been nerve recking though when i start thinking of how near exam is and how little time time i've spent studying for the exams.

Nothing much happened this week, although there are some little things happening here and there. Firstly, last Saturday, as usual went for band practice at 12.30, but when we reached, they said that alumni practice cancelled because the school wanted to take 1/2 day off just because there wasn't any mendaki classes in the afternoon, that was like total bullshit, went all the way to school to hear that there's no practice. There's practice tomorrow morning again from 8am - 1.30pm, I told Sze Ying i wasn't going because of exams. I also don't think i'll be performing in concert with the band anymore. If last week there was practice, i'll probably will go for band prac tomorrow and perform during the concert, but it's just practice tomorrow for the concert which is like next Sunday, it's kind of ridiculous, all our embrocure's spoilt already because we've not play for so long and need at least a few practices and it's so stupid to go for 1 or 2 practices and be ready for a concert. Maybe i'll rejoin the the alumni band in July or something, but now is full blast concentration on exam.

Didn't go to guitar class on Wednesday. 3 reasons - didn't practice, too lazy to get out of the house and i wasn't prepared for exam yet. On the same day, my fridge died, the cold air just stopped. Actually it's expected to break down sooner or later because it's like 14 years old, it's been here since i moved in. Then, the food in the fridge were transferred to the mini fridge in my dad's room and my dad brought back another mini fridge from his office to store the food in the freezer. The new fridge will be coming tomorrow, it actually cost $2.5k, i hope it's nice though.

Then, the same Wednesday night the starhub cable TV box in my room went bonkers too, it kind of hanged and then it didn't work anymore. Then yesterday i brought the box to Tampines starhub service centre to change for a new box, it's actually the 1st time in like 4 days since i actually stepped out of the house and it felt like i've not been out for more than a year..lol. So i'm now enjoying the new box because it comes with i think around 2 weeks free preview of the other channels that my dad didn't subscribe to like HBO and quite a number of chinese channels including the star chinese movie and chinese mtv channels..although i don't really watch em..lol.

I guess i'll just stop here if not everybody reading this will start falling asleep already and as usual the tags dead, like always..lol. Ok..won't be blogging til next week prob after the 1st or 2nd exam paper..wish me luck peeps, cya!
