3 weeks after the break
mid sems are over
got back 2 of the results
just passed international finance
corporate financial policy was a disaster
the average mark out of 90 was 60, i failed........
first time failed mid sem
totally dampened the mood
#@!^#%@^!(&#)(*!$_#!(_)*$_!#)*(_$()#!(*_)@)*$#)#(@!)_!
my results are depreciating, every semester they slowly decline
been feeling very moody over the past few days
trying not to show it
but it just surfaces out
sigh
maybe finance isnt my strongest points
but im struggling with micro econs as well
i really hope to pass that unit
turned 23 just 2 weeks back
my wishes are simple
to do reasonable well in my results
to find a girlfriend hopefully
to maintain and sustain friendships
to finally get final fantasy 13 and play it on the ps3 when i get back to singapore

the one week " study" break has passed by so fast
note the inverted commas
supposed to be a break to catch up on work
instead spent a large portion of the break slacking around
Road trip was loads of fun
visited different natural attractions
drove long distances
sightseeing
eating
lazing
countryside life
so different from the city area
revisited busseltown jetty
revisited cape leeuwin lighthouse but this time we went up on the tour
boy the winds are powerful at the top
no joke
it could blow off your sunnies or caps if you never wear them properly
the view was breath taking too
first day was margaret river area in the day time
in the evening we took night journey towards albany
terence took over as driver for the night trip
we travelled along muirs highway towards albany
not a good idea at all especially at night
total darkenss and we saw fewer than 20 cars over the 150 plus km of muirs highway
had close calls with kangaroos
reached albany late on good friday night
saturday was more sightseeing around albany area
dog rock, albany market, albany windmill farms
watching the sunset and the windmills together
make for a picture perfect post card
at night spent the night bbqing loads
and i mean loads of food
sunday was travelling to strawberry farm but i was closed
then headed to blueberry farm that was open
tried their blueberry icecream
delicious
bought some wine to bring back to sg
then it was off to denmark stopping by for lunch
ate at this small cafe but the turkish bread was delicous
preceeded to dinosaur world and the adjacent bird park
haha those birds sure chirp loud
especially those parrots
headed off to wapole
walked the valley of the tree top walks
its quite high up in the air and the bridge sways a little
but the view makes up for it
on monday before heading back to perth
we stopped by the blowholes and the gap near albany
land meets sea
you have to see it to understand what i am saying
anyways the rest of the break passed by so quickly
eating out at gelare for half price waffle
celebrating sue yongs birthday
only around wednesday or thursday then its back to studying
just cleared one mid sem today
international finance
40 mins worth 25% of the marks
sigh
got 3 mid sems next week
thats the killer week
once thats past everything should be a little easier to deal with
12:01:00 AM
April is here
Thursday, April 01, 2010
its the first day of april
time for some april fools mucking around
and so tml begins the mid semester break
a little early then usual
but still a welcome break away from normal uni life
good friday and the easter weekend beckons
will be heading for a roadtrip with my set mates tml till monday
to margaret river area and then to albany
will have a more experienced co driver with me
i dont have experience in long distance driving
so i hope everything goes fine
rented a toyota aurion
it feels luxurious
its spacious
its got a stonking 3.5L v6
it should serve us well for the trip
i so want to keep this car as my own
hahahahaha
keep the aurion, send the damaged corolla to the rental company...
and get sued most probably
haha
its twice the engine capacity of the still damaged corolla
more than twice the power
of course that come with more than twice the price for a corolla
the only thing im worried about is anything dents happening to the aurion
the rental company will charge exhorbitant prices should anything happen
the corolla floor beneath the car floor stiching has been flooded with water
constant efforts to suck out the water have provided ineffective
have to remove the entire carpeting to get it out
hopefully on tuesday the corolla gets restored to its previous condition
and theres still the hundreds of golf ball dents on the panels that need fixing
WHat a pain
and theres the problem of claiming the insurance as i am not the stated driver under the insurance policy
next week after getting back need to get down to some serious studying
4 mid sem exams await after the study break
how ironic is the name
a break but youre supposed to study ...
oh gelare waffles taste absolutely fantastic
had them on tuesday evening with friends in the city
come to think of it
i dont think i even eat gelare back in singapore
