It's been some time since i'd updated and i'm sure nobody cares anyway since nobody (except maybe 1 or 2 others) visits my blog.

After all this while i've definitely got back to school mood, but NOT studying mood and i'm getting into deep trouble because of that. I'm having mid-semester tests now. Just had business statistics test yesterday and i think i blew it. I'd totally forgotten how to calculate most of the things in the test (although formulas are provided). It'll be quite good already if i can get a credit, a pass would be good too but i'm definitely praying hard i won't fail it. The test counts for 30% of finals and i just don't wanna blow it away.

Accounting test next wk, everybody's kind of worried for this accounting paper cuz a lot of people can't grasp and understand a lot of things during lecture. This semester's Accounting lecturer's probably the worse one so far, he's more of reading off the slides and answers instead of explaining them. I think if a lot of people fail this paper, is because he's NOT a good lecturer, but if a lot of us pass, is because we won't wanna see him again next semester..haha!

I think the law test would be the worse because it's close book and everybody's worried as we've gotta memorise all the cases and expanotary for the the category that the situation falls under. I'm not too good at essay and yea, i'm actually quite worried provided i've not done my summary notes for this subject. Lect. Yeo said this semester's test would be much easier than last semester's test, but i'm still worried anyway.

Watched Meet The Spartans this afternoon. Just like Yun Jie and Pei Yin said, it's totally crap. It's not funny at all, maybe just 1 or 2 jokes that are funny, but overall is just stupid and lame. I think it's better than Epic Movie, but seriously...a supposedly funny move that's not funny? I don't know. It ain't good. Considering watching Leap Years before the new batch of movies are released next Thurs, but don't know about that cuz it looks real dramatic and boring. Maybe will watch it on Monday if I'm done studying for the accounting paper and compiling law notes. Cheers!

Chinese New Year official visitation days are just over. Nothing special, same like any other years. As usual:
First Day - Mum's side grandparents house for abt 20 min, then go to the usual Mirama Hotel buffet for lunch then go over to my great aunties and uncles place for awhile. Only difference this yr is that after visiting the 'great' house went to my dad's side granny's place for dinner before going back.

Second Day - Dad's side granny's place. It was like a mini casino. Opened 2 majong tables. 1 table for the aunties, uncles and granny and the other for all the cousins. Of course we bet money on that, but not a lot. Just 10/20 cents the most for our table. When we got bored of majong we switched to black jack...of course we bet money too, makes it more thrilling..haha! Had fun with my nephew too, got some shots of me and my brother with the cute little nephew - Yi Zhe who will be turning 2 in a couple of months.

Yi Zhe and I

Yi Zhe and the brother

My third aunty brought her dog along too - Cassie the 15 year old (oldie doggy) Shetland Sheepdog. Cassie's overweight and old and has weak legs so she walks very much like a robot. She actually came in a pram! My mum actually thought that the pram was for my nephew, but we were like 'no no no! it's Cassie's!' and she was going like "WHAT?!?" WAHAHAHAHA!!! Got a really bad snap shot of it too, it was the only 1 i got, we were like leaving already so couldn't really take anymore. So there -

Third day - Church Elders' open house, only managed to visit 3 out of the 5 due to time restrictions.
As usual, my house is as quiet as every other year. No idea why, but nobody seems to be visiting the house for the last couple of years.

Finally started school today after 10 days off. Today's lecture was in the morning, but because it had been awhile due to the short break from school, I was practically sleep walking and travelling to school. Luckily I'd finished up my tutorials the night before, if not i have no idea how i'm gonna rush it out this morning.

Watched Kung Fu Dunk yesterday, not really a Jay Chou fan, but the movie's not bad actually - as in actions and all. Surprisingly there were some cantonese in it presumably that I'd expected it to be more of a 100% mandarin show as i'd expected most of the cast to be from Taiwan since Jay Chou's a Taiwanese. So there were quite a number of Hong Kong actors as well so not so suprising after all that there are some cantonese in it.

Was on a movie spree again after lecture today. Watched CJ7. It's quite funny actually. The alien dog was sooo cutee!! That little girl (I think her name's Xu Jiao or something like that) who acted as a boy was cute too. She'd make a very handsome little boy. Her acting was quite good for someone her age. Considering getting the VCD/DVD for these 2 movies when they're released. I think these 2 movies are a better catch and more worth the money than Ah Long Pte Ltd. The Ah Long movie looks very lame, and reviews from friends just proove the point that i shouldn't catch it as they said that it's a total waste of money going to watch it. Even they said that the Kung Fu Dunk, which is just alright to me is soooo much better than Ah Long. So shan't waste my money on that.

I guess movie life is creeping back into my schedule after a pathetic movie draught in January. Am gonna really start and finish studying for my mid-semester tests that's due to start from end of the month and to justify reasons to go movie slacking. >.<

I guess that's it for now, cheers!

It'd been some time since i'd posted something so just post 1 now since i'm free. Getting used to school again after what might seem like a pretty fulfilling holiday. Kind of falling back on tutorials already. Only did 1 set of tutorials in the accountancy paper 'cause we need to hand it in. It's counted 12% of finals so i have to do it if i don't want to kiss a potential high distinction or even just a distinction goodbye. Got to start catching up with the rest of the tutorials for the other papers too.

There's no projects for this semester but there's 5 mid-semester tests. Projects will really start falling in from next semester onwards and it will be crazy. Not really enjoying the Management Accounting module this semester, i'd prefer Financial Accounting but have to do it since i'm majoring in Accountancy. Looking forward to doing FA next sem. My favourite module this semester is most likely the law subject, kind of interesting exploring the different court cases. Thinking of doing law after this, but there's still a long way, might loose interest, so who knows...

31st January was Yu Wen's birthday, as usual the girls bought her a slice of cake for her as like they did on mine. Just got the pictures from Yun Jie minutes ago so posting one up right now: -

The cake and us

After class went back to my ex-office and wait for the girls to end work, reached at 6pm sharp so didn't have to wait that long. Had dinner with them at Outback Steakhouse at Millenia Walk as it was 1 of my ex-colleagues birthday and also celebrating my late birthday and another ex-colleague's birthday too as we're all born in January. It was fun. The food was quite expensive, but it was quite good actually. The cheapest main course is like $19.90 and goes all the way up to the mid $30s. It's good in a way like if you take chicken breast meat, you'll expect it to be kind of dry, but it's really tender and juicy and it was FANTABULOUS! The fish was pretty good too. Ordered quite a bit of side dishes too and it was good. The cheesy fries and mushrooms were actually quite delicious. Brought my camera and went on snapping away through the night..haha! Posted 2 of them: -

So yeah, that was pretty much it the last two weeks. Apart from these two 'events' everyday's kind of the same - school. Chinese New Year's just around the corner and I don't think i've bought enought new year clothes, but at least i've got a few pieces. After this morning's lecture, I'll be having 10 days break from school...yay! Reason being that i don't have lectures on Monday and Tuesday, Wed is New Year eve, Thurs, Fri and Sat New Year days, following Mon and Tues no lectures, so my next lecture is 2 Wednesdays from now..lol! Gonna slack my way through, probably gonna catch up on tutorials or so.

Well, so i guess i'll just leave it as it is for now and come back posting after Chinese New Year when I'll have something to post about. Cheers!
