double 'bliss' (hopefully)

Second paper today. Well well, was stressing out in the morning coz there was so much to memorize and somehow my brain just refused to cooperate.

One o'clock came and I left the house. Wishing time would faster pass and I can 'perform' my verbal regurgitation asap and empty whatever has been up there for the past 2-3 days. Happily entered the examination as two thirty came. To my horror, the brilliant me left my wallet at home and leaving myself identity-less =( Told myself, don't worry, just tell the invigilator, i'm sure they know what to do. So I did just that and comfortably sat myself down.

Lay out my pens nicely, place my water bottle on the table, took off my watch, jacket, scarf, whatnots... then started staring into space and hopefully time would come by faster so that the paper will begin soon.

Just then, this guy came by and asked if I was in the wrong seat. And I was quite sure I was at G558. The invigilator mentioned that we could check the seating plan at the back. I quickly took out my phone where I record my seat number. Only then did I realized 'oops, i was at the wrong seat.. mine was G553.' The embarassed me quickly gathered my stuff and scrambled to the back of the row. What a frantic beginning!

Soon 1430 came and we were given reading time. The examination was pretty all right. Quite similar to the past year papers except for some 'surprises'. All in all, it was fine and I think I did nailed it =) Two economics paper down.. feeling good about the both of it and I think my love for economics has caught me unaware coz I think i'm gonna miss doing it.

Next two.. marketing papers, 6th and 7th Nov. Ahhh so dead so dead!!!

P.S: Left examination hall early so didn't get a chance to take pictures of my desk.. so here's some pictures of my study 'environment'
My 'wonder' pens.. Supplements to keep the brain working well.. Biscuits and Sweets.. And my lovely friends who are constanly on my mind and to keep me accompany..My view from the window overlooking an overgrown garden.. What a 'beautiful sight'!A sign which I saw on the way home. Almost all the indecency you can find in two phrases. Try reversing the order and it will become 'Cock-Ram-Hooker'? Interesting!

First of the last...

First paper today was at 1430 at Caulfield Racecourse. Seat Number G0447.

Started the paper around 1445. After the 10 minutes reading time, I was glad that the paper was rather similar to the sample exam paper other than some minor differences.

Was so worried that I would not have enough time for the paper coz I spent almost 30 mins on the first question. Urged myself to write as fast as I could without compromising too much on my legibility. Did good time when I am done with my third question. 6 question in 2 hours. Too much to write and too little time. Eventually managed to complete the other 3 question in 50 mins and even gave extra information for some parts. Hopefully it would be reflected in my grades.

After-thoughts: I feel as if I am done with exams but in actual fact, it's only the first paper -_-

Well, it's back to studying for other papers. Am done with my 29th paper, just need to attempt the past year papers for that. Keeping my fingers cross for my two marketing papers on 6th and 7th. I can smell salvation coming my way.... weeeeee! 'stop daydreaming'

A picture before I go...

Final stride in the field of academic

Lo and behold, tomorrow marks the beginning of the very very last examinations I would ever have as a student.

Feelings? I am at a loss of what to feel. Before nearing/reaching the end of my academic life, I would say I was rather excited and eager to place myself out in the society and experience for myself what the world has got to give. Now, when I am here myself, a part of me wants to return back to the life of being a student. Honestly, the best job one can get is to be just a student. The 3 months of hectic workload is usually rewarded by an equal amount of holidays. And no need to remind everyone, the carefree days of being a student is no longer a luxury for the working class. How sad!

Anyway, this is just gonna be a short post. I will post another one tmr after my paper. I reckon I should jot down some of my very last memories of having an examination before I can hardly remember them anymore as the years pass by.

Take care my friends! Ta!

Time passes and things change...

I was browsing through facebook (though I really should be studying for my exams in 12 days' time, oops). Anyhow, I came across someone whom I know from a brief encounter, who got married due to the growing bun in the oven. I know there's nothing to be overly surprised since there are many such happenings going on these days. It just amazed me how so many things can happen over time.

Won't it be nice if things do not really change that much? Sadly, my revelations tell me otherwise. Things pretty much happen overnight and tada, the very next moment when you see the light, it is all different. Eventually, it makes you think twice if you really have a clear understanding of what's going on intially.

And now, I am just wondering how would one find someone who would really stay dedicated to you throughout the many years to come? Isn't it tough, for one is always changing? Yes, it may be for the better sometimes but in some cases, it may be for the worst. It seems that one cannot never grasp the everchanging future so having faith is most important?

My personal opinion and perhaps it may serve as a note to the girls (and maybe the boys) out there... A guy is worth considering:
1) when he respects all women-kind
2) when he treats a lady like a gentleman
3) when he would give up little things in life to make you happy
4) in the event when he is unable to send the lady home, he would text the lady and ask if she arrived back safely
5) and if talking about marriage, he would make the effort to give the lady the most decent proposal as best as he can

Thus, my sentiments about a guy's worthiness before progressing any further. Of course, guys who casually say, "Brothers are forever and women are just like shirts." Well, I can only say it's such a disappointment to know this.
