The Last Will Not Last Long

Exams are finally over, and this signifies the end of my first year in degree.

2012 is indeed a really great movie. It was really worth my extra RM8 for buying a couple seat just to watch it in a fully packed theatre. I can’t believe so many people were watching it even on a weekday right after my Law paper. Some of the scenes were really touching and some were so destructive that my heart stopped beating for few times.

The lesson learnt from this movie suits my title. The disaster that happened in 2012 would not last forever. It just cleans up the Earth and there would be a new world after that. So much for what I thought as the end of the world.

Similarly, the end of exams is not something we should be dwelling upon because there would still be plenty more after that.

I was also so bothered with people leaving to University of South Australia to study, or even myself. It’s as if I can’t see my friends ever again. But the last will not last long! It would just be a temporary separation and we’ll definitely meet again during holidays. So why are we lamenting about it?

And finally, I also wonder how long my study decision will last. Will I change my mind again and go to University of South Australia at Adelaide next year? Who knows?

Though I don’t believe that humans will still be able to live in Earth after the 2012 event if it really happens. The weather and environment would not be suitable for them to live anymore. Well, there would always still be hope, somewhere in this dimension. After all, the only matter that keeps us going is hope!

Teacher Chin Wynn

Although it is study break which means one week of holidays before the final examination, I went to college to consult lecturers to solve my doubts. Not to my surprise, I was consulted after that. My students of the day are Nicholas Yong, Shi Hui and Su Ling for Microeconomics.

You must be wondering why is this photo here. This is because I jokingly told my “students” that I will be parking my car at the teacher’s reserved area. They initially laughed at it, but started agreeing after they learned about Market Failures.

After all, I was an Additional Mathematics and Chemistry teacher. Right, Phooi Kuan, Yee Lyn, Cassandra, Jean, and Boon Kuang?

Although a day has gone just like that, but I never regret because I get to possess the latest song by Lady GaGa, which is Bad Romance.

A must-watch video:

Motivation

“Where can I find my motivation to study?” This WAS the question in my head during the past few days in order to face the battle at 18th November 2009. For the past big exams, I had the right person to be my role model:

SPM – Jolene

Foundation in Business – Chye Soon

UniSA Semester 1 – Alvin

Now, I chose something more realistic to motivate me which is reward myself with a new mobile phone after I got my straight HD’s.

However, I don’t think I really need such motivation to keep me studying. Now, I really feel like crying in pain after seeing how unprepared I am for Microeconomics and Introduction to Law. At my standard now, I will definitely run out of time in the exams and not finish half the paper for Microeconomics; whereas for Law, I don’t think I can even write a word in the exams.

I hope I can really feel the pressure until the end of the exams, and stop playing my Naruto and Facebook! I already quitted MSN and it is a big step.

Let’s pray we all do well in our big examination, whether finals or SPM. Cheers!

Evolution of My Blog

After all the delayed posts about past events, I decided to modify my blogging style. I will no longer be posting photos here since it will appear in my Facebook profile anyway. So by just blogging with words, I will not be so overwhelmed and I will update my blog much more frequently. Hence, be sure to check this as much as I blog.

By this evolution shown through my blog header, I have uploaded those past photos onto my Facebook profile few hours ago. They include first KTV session with Su Ling, Alex, Mei San, Jocelyn and Shi Hui; Yew Wooi and Shan Lung’s birthday bash.

PRESENT

So the important update that you will be granted by reading this post is that:

I WILL NOT BE GOING TO AUSTRALIA NEXT YEAR!

Despite this, I kept telling myself and my friends that today was the last day of college. I’m sure this was the day I would see some of my course mates for the last time. This seems sad but the good news here is I’m staying. I’m overjoyed with the decision I have made currently. Hope I don’t change it again.

For specific details:

I’m not going to UWA because after some research done, my parents found out that UniSA is more specialised in business courses and it is well recognised in Australia and Europe. On the other hand, UWA is just popular for its Go8 status and high ranking but it is more towards the engineering faculty. Furthermore, I was shocked knowing that UniSA has almost 3 times the number of students than UWA for the business faculty.

I’m going to UniSA on the final year instead of the 2nd year even though my parents want me to stay there for 2 years to have more exposure and experience towards the international culture. I convinced them by further editing my study plan to doing a double degree which means I will extend my studies there for 1 more year.

So that’s it! Good news to most of you, hopefully. ^^
