School's starting in a week's time, Wednesday to be exact. I'm both looking and not looking forward to going back to school. Looking forward as i'd rather be in school than sitting at home not knowing what to do and end up at the movies. Not loooking forward as i find this holiday a tad bit too short and i'm not even prepared yet. Another one thing is that i'm not looking forward to retaking commercial law, imagine another whole semester of listening to the same old stuff again.

I've no idea what's wrong with the school, they've not send me the invoice for the fee yet. And so, I've got the whole of today with nothing to do as i was planning to go down to school to pay my fees and get my textbooks at the same time. And yes, i've not gotten my books nor have i printed out my notes yet. That's how unprepared i am. Another dreadful thing are projects. I just went through the details for the papers and look through the projects descriptions and i went 'OH NO!'. There will be presentations and i'll be biting my tongue through it. By the looks of it presentation will probably be in front of the whole class of 100 odd ppl!! I just hope presentation's not to the whole class.

One thing i'm excited about going to school is that Juliana and Louise will be going to SIM too! Juliana's in marketing and taking full time, so i guess it will be quite impossible running into her at anytime. For Louise, he's taking the same accountancy course as i am and he got advance standing, and we'll probably be in the same class as we're taking 2 of the same papers. That is if they don't split his batch of intake with ours..haha.

And so i'm bored with nothing else to blog and with the prospect that i will take a long long long time to ever find a part-time job in the accounting sector. I'm just bored stiff and no plans for movies later cause i'm planning 1 after guitar class tom.

I'm getting real tired and frustrated in finding a part-time job. Apparently, 99% of the part time jobs stated online are temp jobs, not part-time. I guess it's right when they say that finding a part-time job in the accounting sector is very difficult.

I've set up my own pathetic resume on job central with no success at all. Only 1 recruitment co. called me up about 3 weeks ago and til now they haven't got back to me with a suitable job. Then, this 10-yr-old kid told me to go to jobdb, like what does a kid like him know. And guess what, i checked it out and set up another pathetic resume on that website and am waiting for a good job to come walking to me. The newspapers were of no use at all.

If i can't find 1 soon i've gotta go crawling reluctantly back to RY. >.<

Blimey! Attempting to do up the budget for the really big world tour and it's tougher and more complicated than i'd anticipated. No idea how to go round doing it.

I'm happy about this particular thing which i assume that my assumptions are correct. Not really gonna blog it all down and risk killing myself later. Feeling kind of bad at the same time actually as my happiness is at the expense of somebody else's happiness, but i'm quite sure that person will snap out of it pretty soon.

Attended Melissa's 21st birthday bash last night at Holland V's Swensen. Had fun smashing her face in a bowl of topless 5 ice cream..haha!

Before the party went to watch Get Smart with Geraldine, Bernice, Cassendra & Hannah. The movie's not bad, but the frequent advertising of some of the funny parts made those particular parts NOT funny anymore. Overall it's quite funny. The girls thought the movie should be rated NC16 instead of PG because of the disgusting plane scene, the middle finger scene and the gay *** look alike and kiss scenes..lol. It was my forth movie this weeks and so far my record of movies watched in a week. I know i'm crazy, but.....just trying to enjoy the last days of holiday before school starts.

Still searching for a part time accounts related job. Anybody got any lobang?

Back from church camp on Sat afternoon. There were more free time and shopping time this year but last year was more fun, so it was just alright.

Miss going on movie trips, so went to watch The Incredible Hulk just now. It was not bad, but i think Ironman had the slight edge over it.

Pei Yin helped me re-enrol for the commercial law last week when i was away in Malaysia. I'm pretty fine with school and all but the only thing that i don't really like is that they only allow us to sit for 3 papers a semester for part time. So since i failed 1 paper this sem, i've to push back 1 paper every semester til the end. And if it all doesn't fit nicely, i'll have to sit for 1 extra semester just to finish that 1 paper. That's why, I'm now more sure of the idea of spending my final year in melbourne. 1 reason more is that it's a requirement that international students can only study full time and i can get the choice of taking 4 papers a semester and complete the course within the 3.5 years.

2 more weeks of holiday left. I'm starting to look for a part-time accounts related job and finding a part time job in this field is not easy. I asked aunty Hedy if there's any part time lobang, and she offered to go back RY to help me ask. I'm kind of reluctant to go back to RY though, kind of planning on looking for 1 in other companies first before taking up the choice of going back to RY. But, see how it goes, i hope she'll ask some of her accountant friends before going back to ask Mr Lim to take me back to do part time.

Sent Milo for grooming yesterday, now he has shorter and neater fur. He looks like he's been stripped from something and we're calling him 'botak' but his fur is real soft and short and feels like velvet, so we're all enjoying molesting the poor dog..haha! Here's a little retarded candid shot of him.

Today my parents bought me a new Braun Buffel wallet. It's $179 and it's the most expensive wallet i've ever owned. They bought me one cause i've been complaining that my wallet is breaking down - there's like 2 big holes in the coins department. I think they're kind of tired of me having to buy a new wallet every year as they all don't last more than a year. My last wallet's a $30 Ralph Polo wallet from F.L.Y. and obviously it's a fake and the rest of my other wallets are from The Wallet Shop, so they're all kind of budgeted nice wallets which are not lasting..haha! So mummy offered to get me one which is lasting and made of real leather, so how can i say no to that. Thank you folks!
Going to ride the Singapore Flyer tomorrow morning, then will be going around Clarke Quay The Central, Esplanade and probably around town. Probably be shopping around on the folks' expenses as i'm near broke now, considering i've gotta change MY OWN money for the Malacca trip on Wednesday.

It's Saturday and the usual Saturday boredom is kicking in again.

Yesterday went exploring at Discovery Centre. It was alright i guess. Had a couple of shooting rounds which i guess were the most fun part for me. Watched 2 shows too - 3D & 2D shows. The shows were so boring and i kind of fell asleep half way through.

So, tried extracting how the parentals felt about me going for a world tour within the next few years to see if they'll freak out or stuff like that. Just as i though they were alright with it as long as i pay for it (or at least 1/2 of it i hope...>.<)

I had that idea in mind for a long time now and already drawn up a list of destinations i want to visit 2 yrs ago and is now still hidden somewhere in that very messy drawer of mine. It's just a matter finding the people who are interested to go with and finding a way out of the financing part too. The idea kind of slipped my mind for a really long time now til it was brought up not too long ago.

Basically i love travelling and i'd jump at every opportunity of going anywhere outside of boring ol' Singapore. I can travel all year round for all the years of my life but it's just too unrealistic that money will drop down from Heaven anytime i need more.

So i'm saving now alright. Whoever's interested, let me know and start saving too!
Aiming World Tour June 2010!

I am BORED, and i do mean it LITERALLY!

Kung Fu Panda only opens tomorrow so there's officially nothing to watch as in now. Maybe gonna watch it with Ya Fang on Tuesday if she's confirmed free on that day.

Gonna go Discovery Centre tomorrow, the last time i went there was like what..sec 3 excursion? After that gonna go ride the Singapore Flyer, mummy has got 5 tickets from who knows where it dropped down from.

Ok, i'm just bored and crapping around. Hmmm...this crazy idea just dropped out of nowhere that i should go do up a budget for myself this month. Maybe i'll be mad enough to do up 1 every month so that i can spend more wisely and save up too - in the case when i've decided to spend my final year in Melbourne and the world tour that for the time being only resides in my vivid imagination.

Since i don't really feel like doing anything right now, just here to blog my time away.

Somehow i just can't get the fact that i'd failed commercial law out of my mind and the disappointment is kind of ballooning within me the more i think about it. Kind of feel like i've let myself down and my parents too as they've to fork out another $1k++ for me to retake the paper. I just realised that i may have to drop Company Law next semester as Commercial Law is a pre-requisite for it, but let's just see how they go about it during re-enrolment next week.

Somehow i feel like i deserve to get a failure or set-back as i rather it be known as because i guess my ignorance have already started to kick in. For the last 3 years since i'd started taking the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) course God has been rather kind to me for making my life so smooth sailing. I've been able to pass it within a year and He got me through papers which i was so sure that i was going to fail. God sure works in mysterious ways that we're not aware of. After got a job with little effort with the help of aunty Hedy, a job with a patient and funny supervisor and a group of fun colleagues to make my working days more enjoyable. After that got in SIM when i thought that my chance of getting into a local uni was crushed. So i guess this failure is a way of kicking me out of ignorance and slack to be more serious and to work harder. I rather be taking it on a brighter side as i know for a fact everything happens for a reason. It's definitely more fun being an optimist. There's always 2 ways to look at everything, and i'm just taking sides with the light over darkness :).

I know it's a whole load of nothingness, but just trying to make myself feel better about it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, been out the last 2 nights with Jac - to Ikea and to watch Sex And The City at The Cathay (and of course little catch up along the way..haha). It was a fun 2 nights, and Jac, we should meet up more often when the financial part allows la. :p

Sex And the City is probably the best movie I've watched this year. The story line's not bad and it's really funny. It's M18, so kids, stay at home and continue watching your cartoons :p. It is actually funny, unlike those lame jokes potrayed in *ahem ahem* Superheoroes Movie; Epic Movie; a bit of Harold & Kumar *cough cough*. So yeah, the best 2.5 hrs I had all day long after results and all.

So yea, i think i just might have realised one of the reasons on why i'm always at the movies besides boredom - getting my mind off stupid stuff like that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About 5 min ago had a phone call from some recruitment company, kind of forgot what is it called...JAC something. I guess they came across my redundant resume on Job Central, asked me if i have found a job, if not whether i'm still looking for one. I was like...em no, but looking for a part time job. They then offered me a full time permanant accounting job, but to be fair and all i had to tell them that i am still studying and a part time accounts-related job would be more appropriate. So they said they'll look through my resume again to see if there's anything they can do about it. So yea, i hope that they'll get back to me to save me the trouble and time searching for one.

RMIT finally released the results and i'm depressed alright. I failed Commercial Law!!! I've to reluctantly retake it again next sem and another round of dreadful preperations for it.

Just passed Business Statistics with 57 marks, credit for Prices & Markets with 63 marks and high distinction for Management Accounting with 80 marks. Only got a 31 for Comm. Law.

I have no idea if i can take another round of comm. law when i'll be taking another law paper - company law nxt sem too. I'm just....crushed.

I can't believe results on the RMIT site has not been released yet! They released it about a week before they were due to be released on the SIM student portal last semester.

My results are due to be released on Wednesday on the SIM student portal so i expect the RMIT to post them either today or tomorrow. I guess they're kind of consenting to my wish weeks ago that the results will never be released..haha, but i guess it's slowly killing me the longer they drag it.

There's no doubt that i'm kind of scared. I've been praying and praying and trying to put all my faith into God's hands that He'll carry me through like my previous exams and trying to get rid of the doubtfulness and sceptical-ness. I just want it to be released and get through it well so that i won't have any qualms or uneasiness going into the next semester.

Well, putting that all aside, i've been movie bonkers the last 2 weeks and expecting it to be the same this week. 2 weeks ago, i watched Ironman TWICE - once with Juliana and another with my brother and in between that watched Accuracy of Death too.

Last week, caught Drillbit Taylor, The Chronicles of Narnia and Indiana Jones. Caught Indiana Jones on Friday at 10.30pm! The movie ended at almost 12.45am, thank God there's mummy and daddy together with the bro watching with me so i needn't worry about public transport..haha! Watched it at The Cathay, it's my first time watching a movie so late (as in it ending that early in the morning) and also first time at The Cathay. I know it's kind of ironic right, i used to go to The Cathay to eat and walk but have never watched a movie there before..haha.

This week is my last week of a whole week of total freedom, except for the fact that my results will be released any day now. Next week i've got Monday and 1/2 of Tuesday off, then have to go packing already. Wed to Sat will be going to Malacca for church camp and after which, the 2 weeks after will be busy searching for a part time job to go with the start of my part time schooling come 2nd July 2008.

I think this week will be another crazy week for movies, although i don't think it'll be as crazy as the last 2 weeks. Will be watching Sex And The City (gonna watch it since the response seems quite good) and af course Kung Fu Panda (maybe with the bro if he wants to watch it).

So yea, i'm trying to enjoy as much as i can before the nightmare of working and studying begins.
