Lunch at Ichiban Sushi at Clementi

After my Human Resource Development exam at SIM, my friends and I went to have lunch at Ichiban Sushi at the new shopping centre beside Clementi MRT Station. Below are the foods that we ordered during the lunch.

My combo set meal is the hotate version and it's really yummy~ It is the second picture from the top down. Plus there's salmon sashimi and it's not too bad. All the foods are very yummy but some of my friends are unable to finish their portions and thus, threw bits and pieces of food onto my plate. Gewd~ My stomach almost bursted from too much food. xD

Yay! I got distinction for my Ethics and Governance group project

Yay! I got back the results for one of my group assignments and we scored very well for it. I'm telling ya, Ethics and Governance (EG) is not an easy subject to tackle as you can get unexpected results from the lecturer.


In my case, I had failed my individual EG assignment by just a couple of points and our lecturer marked extremely strict. I was shocked to see that she put everything as unsatisfactory. Man, my ego was so badly hurt when I retrieved my assignment together with my Human Resource (HR) group mates on the day I completed my HR exam.

Anyway the release of my EG group project somewhat lifted my spirits a little but the most important thing is to pass the exam. If not, I might have to repeat the module again and that will sucks big time.

=(

Last day of school for this term

Finally the last school day for this term is over and now it's term to prepare for the exams. My two exams will be taken in May and after that, it's holiday time!

I just hope that I can scrape through these exams soon and get promoted to the next term. The faster I complete my modules, the faster I get my degree. Then I can start looking for a new job. I gotta find a human resource job since that's what my degree is majoring in. Heee.... but the HR field in Singapore is not very good and most positions require at least 1 year relevant working experience.

Well I can only hope that my degree can help me secure job, to a certain extent. All right, that's all for school. School's boring, you know. >.<

So fed up with motorcyclists!

I am hating motorcyclists so much right now. Just now I was on my home from school and was walking along the void decks in my neighbourhood when I was almost knocked by a green motorcycle.

The rider didn't even bothered to come down from his bike and apologize to me. I was so angry that I yelled at him that the void decks are not roads for vehicles to ride pass. The damn bastard ignored and rode away! Grrr... Don't let me come across his bike again. I will report it to the police if I see his bike around.

Grr...... !!!

Finally, it's the end!

Phew! I have managed to survive the toughest period so far in my undergraduate career. I had three projects and all of them were due last week and yesterday I submitted the final project in school after finishing work.

These three projects had to hit the chinese new year period and I felt so lazy when I was doing those projects. The worst thing was that one of the projects was a group project and it was my human resource module. Too bad I had one freeloader, Serene, in my group and you can expect the results. Our lecturer said we went out of point and our group presentation wasn't very well-coordinated.

The only good thing about this group project is that it only forms 10% out of the whole course module. However I am stilled pissed off at Serene and once we finished our presentation, I stopped talking to her. I remembered we had to sacrificed our chinese new year eve to go to the national library to do research and she was the only one who didn't come due to a 'headache'. What a lame excuse. If not for the fact that she had mentioned the previous night that she was having a sleepover at her friend's house, I wouldn't have become so suspicious. She probably played too much at the friend's house and ended up not wanting to meet up for group discussion.

Oh well, I am so glad everything is over for now. There is still one more assignment to go and it's another group project but this time round with a different group of people. At least they are more dedicated to their schoolwork than that Serene, who don't even bother to turn up for lessons and for your information, she is a repeat student and this is her second time taking the HR module. >.<

Anyway I gotta go to work now. I haven't been posting much this year, eh? I try my best then. ^_~

HR Here I Come! ^_~

Ok so by now I have already known my exam results and have went for my re-enrollment for next year. The thing is I really did flunked my business finance module and I am not going to go through that module again.

So the next thing I did at the re-enrollment day was to submit my application and chose my specialisation as human resource (HR), dropping business finance permanently.

The thing is, I will have to defer my studies by one more semester. I thought I could try my luck by trying to sign up for more modules in January so that I don't have to defer any modules. However the school's people just rang me up last night and told me the bad news.

Oh well. At least I can get to take HR, which I definitely ought to take in the first place but I was being cheeky, but will defer one module so that instead of ending my studies in December 2010, I will end it in May 2011. That is if I'm lucky not to fail anymore modules.

University level is indeed much more different from polytechnic level and it should be taken seriously. Well I should have put HR in the first place, since my diploma background was in HR anyway. Ah well at least during this past semester I had finally realised one thing: my brains don't like numbers. (^_~)

I am gonna do my best in the new year for my new specialisation and will definitely score for my exams. Erm... hopefully. Heee...

Phew! Finally I cleared my exams!

Oh boy, I am glad that I have finally cleared all my 3 exams for this semester. My brain is gonna burst from all the information overloading. Meh...

However I have no confidence in passing my Business Finance subject as it is simply too complicated for me to understand the concepts. Not only that, the lecturer taught at such a fast speed that I can't catch up and whatever concepts he mentioned, I can't apply to my exam accordingly.

The exam comprises 70% of my module and I doubt I can pass it at all. No matter how hard I try to force my brain, there are some questions that I ended up leaving blank as I simply don't know the answers.

Oh man, I am so depressed right now. T_T

H1N1 Flu Situation Gets Worse in Singapore

Foreigners can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. They think they are so great when they compare themselves to Singaporeans but in reality, they are not better than any one of us here either.

Take the recent H1N1 cases for example. 1 German researcher came back from the US and 1 Indonesian man came back from Melbourne with flu symptoms yet they behaved irresponsibly by going out in to the public to spread their virus.

The German man is particular nasty. Not only he went back to his office for work, he also went shopping, attended a concert and even attended a French ambassador's function party. All these were done BEFORE he finally called 933 to admit himself to the CDC. This guy is so audacious! Who the hell does he think he is? The King of Germany?!

For the Indonesian man, he also went to do some shopping before he admitted himself to the emergency department at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. It was also reported that both had already developed the symptoms way before they flew back to Singapore. The only symptom that failed to arise at that time was fever, otherwise both guys would have already been quarantined long time ago.

These two irresponsible guys should be exposed to the public so that we can be aware of them and be certain not to go near them. The Ministry of Health should issue a health warning and a fine to them for exposing the public to health risk.

We should not be lenient on them just because they are the so-called foreign talent. Anyway if they are really foreign talents, it's obvious that they don't place any importance in our country at all. Going around the country and spreading the H1N1 virus at the same time only tell people that they are idiots. I, for one, would not have any sympathy for these guys and they should be repatriated back to their own countries and be barred from entering Singapore.

Who cares about Germany and Indonesia anyway? It's hard to be understanding towards these guys when they had obviously enjoyed themselves before surrendering over to the health authorities. Damn them to hell.

What could be worse is that if the shopping that they had done was actually at the recent PC show at Suntec City? That would have been a major disaster since there are lots of people who had attended the show.

Now we are facing the prospect of getting more people infected and thus the Ministry of Education has decided to extend the school holidays so as to ensure that students who have been abroad to afflicted countries do not spread the virus further.

Looks like there will never be an end to this whole saga. More people continue to go overseas despite travel advisories issued by the government. People are stubborn to the point of idiocracy.

Oh well, I can't be bothered about it anymore. Just give me the names of the two big idiots that I mentioned earlier. Damn them.

Wee! I'm in for RMIT University!

Finally! The day that I have been waiting has arrived!

I have gotten my letter of acceptance from the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) that I have successfully get in to my course at RMIT University.

The course that I will be taking is Bachelor of Business (Management) and I managed to get the Pathway C, which means that I can complete my degree in 18 months, provided I study hard and pass everything! =D

So if everything goes well, I could graduate by the end of next year! That sounds so fast! Oh my. I'm getting so excited that my mind is kind of a whirlpool right now.

The utmost concern for me is the payment of the cost of study. I wondering if I should take up some finance loans but I am so blur with all those finance stuffs. Anyway I have got to submit my reply to SIM by 27 May 2009 in order to secure my place in the course. Oh man. That's only like a few weeks away.

With any luck, I should be able to start school by 1 July 2009. Hopefully everything will go well for me. Oh man. Even though I couldn't get into my first choice of university (that would be the University of Manchester), RMIT university isn't that bad either and it's an Australian university too.

All right. So I have to start pulling up my socks and get into it. Otherwise it would be money going down the drain, eh?

Heehee... I am so happy! Wee!!! I still can't believe my luck that I got into the course. With my lousy scores, I thought I was a goner.

PS. Today is actually Selina's birthday, I wonder did any of her luck came to me? Hmmm.... I am thinking too much. XD

Anime Watch: Subbed Toradora Episode 23 Out!

The latest subbed version for Toradora! latest episode is now out too. Wah so many good videos are out this week. I'm so happy!



Watch Toradora 23 sub | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com


Hopefully these videos won't be removed so that fans can continue to watch and enjoy them. I'm off to watching my favourites animes now!

EDIT: To sum up this whole episode, mainly Taiga's friends has come to realize her love for Ryuji, all except Minori who still doesn't know about her friend's feelings.When she realized that Taiga had , unintentionally, revealed her true feelings to Ryuji during the ski trip, she was mad that Ryuji knew it and yet still tried to hide from the truth.

The next episode will see him make a choice on whether to continue pursue Minori or give up and go after Taiga. However the producers and writers might decided to twist the story so that it will give more headache to viewers.

There are only 2 more episodes left in the 25 parter series. So the next 2 episodes are crucial to determine whether this anime has been worth watching or not. Anticipation can be such an annoying thing, mind you.

Ok, wait and see. That's the only thing I can do for now.

Email from SIM

Oh well I just received a notification that my application for a degree course at SIM is under process and the results will be known by end May 2009.

That's such a long time to wait. Can't they process it faster? Hmmm... unless they are sending the applications all the way to Australia via shipping freight, then that might explain the process.

For now, I just have to wait for them to get back to me. Hopefully it will be good news.

*sighs*

Kuroshitsuji Manga on Sale at Kinokuniya

I had finally submitted my application to a degree course at Global SIM earlier this evening with one of my colleagues from Nursing.

As she knew how to get to the place, Wendy offered to accompany me to submit my application and we went for dinner after that. Well, I was disappointed that I couldn't apply to the university of my choice as my results weren't that good enough.

It was a UK university but I ended up settling for an Australian university which had a much lower ranking than the UK one. Oh well, I am truly not qualified to study in prestigious schools anyway. Let's hope that I can succeed in entering this Australian one otherwise I'm better off sticking with just my diploma. Who in the world needs a degree to survive as a human anyway?

Hmmm....

Right so after that, we headed to Bugis for a simple dinner at NYDC at Parco Bugis. There was a cute Elmo plush toy on display and we promptly took picture of it with our handphones. See mine below, taken with Nokia N95 8GB:




As for food, I chose the Hawaiian baked pasta and I added lots of cheese onto it. Hee... Wendy was quite shocked to see me putting so much cheese onto my food.




For window shopping, we popped in to some shoe shops as well as Kinokuniya.

Whoa, I was so excited to see that they were selling the Kuroshitsuji mangas at $6.71 each. I wonder if I should buy them even though I have access to online scans. If only I have a Kinokuniya membership card, then I could enjoy a 10% discount off the pricing. Hmmm but the subscription fee is not cheap and I don't really shop very often at Kinokuniya.

But the Kuroshitsuji mangas made me feel very tempted to buy as the drawings inside are superb. Too bad the books are all skrink-wrapped so I can't browse through them. Currently they are selling volume 1 to 5. The latest volume 6 is not among the selection so I can only assume that it's not yet available outside of Japan.

I think all the mangas are in chinese versions so I might have a little problem reading as my chinese has really gone down the drain. Oops.

Hmmm so should I apply for the Kinokuniya membership card then buy the mangas? Or stick to online reading? Hmmmm....

Well I suppose it might not be worth getting the membership card after all. A yearly subscription fee of $21.40 means that I would need to spend more than $200 per year at the shop to recoup my membership fee. Honestly, I don't spend that much of money on books.

So I'm better off with my online reading for now. Until the day when I truly become a rich person like Emma Watson. Heehee...
