Revision classes have somehow started. I can say its pure boring. Moreover, its so monotone from the delivery of the lecturers. Over 14 hours of PBF lecture, the lecturer just went through the 10 PBF Preliminary Examination Questions. Was sleeping in the hall, dozing off, but heard what the lecturer said. So pro uh? But then, skipped the second lecture and Lily said that I have made the right choice for not going. Thank uh. LOL. Yesterday’s lecture was simply disastrous, I mean the traveling to the SIM Management House at Namly Avenue (Bukit Timah) area. Its downpour was damn heavy and the lightning striked like nobody business. Shocked me out of my life. It happened when I was having dinner with Ryan.

On the bus there, see no clues on where to alight. Luckily, saw that building of Nanyang Girls High, and alighted after soon, Lily reached. Whats even more undesirable was, we walked all the way there while the rain was still going on. Long way there and the lecture was again, pure boring. I was really talking non-stop with Lily and laughed till my teeth dropped. Anyways, three hours of lecture ended and its already 10 pm at night. Homed at around 11 plus, damn hell tired. Thats a typical student’s life. Some said its better to enjoy student’s life, some said otherwise. Whatever gonna be, live everyday to the fullest is the most important thing.

Went to watch “JIANG SHAN MEI REN” – An Empress and the Warriors with Ryan, midnight show actually. LOL. So late, and the show really LOL…not to say its bad, but underperformed will be appropriate to rank. The language spoken by the actors and actress was damn hell “out of tune” and the story line wasnt great. So, say no to it. Actually, we should have watched Semi Pro instead. Ehs, but I wanna watch Ah Long Pte Ltd!!!, I know I slow but the trailer is damn funny, Mark Lee did a great job, in acting sissy. Uhuh?

Long time din went gym, and at last, went with Ryan, again. Haha. And its on a Saturday evening. We din even know its closing at 8 pm. So we reached there was already around 7.15 pm, whatever, since we have reached, just do it. And muscleache everywhere. Damn. Today, intended to go gym again since no lesson, but ended up din go…maybe tomoro after lecture ba…alamak, tmr got lecture man…so sian!

I think I have been in a holiday mood since the end of POA paper. Damn it. Have to really get back to the mood of studying. But then, start so early also no use…cos its like still 1 month plus away??? I think gonna start studying around the first week of April. Thats the best timing to start…in the nutshell, I just wouldnt want to start now…wahaha. Jia you jia you…going to be the end of year one soon, time flies huh? By the way, lifes complicated which we never expect!

It has been somehow a tough fight for the Preliminary Examinations. However, alas, everything came to an end. The feelings were great and at least, I can taste and breathe in the fresh air given by the mother nature. Pretty busy and hence was not able to update straight after examination. However, it has been already a week since it ended.

After exam, which is on Monday, Ryan and I went to Marina Square and watched this “Water Horse”, as recommended by Yanling. Was quite a good show…funny. Before that, went to dined at Xin Wang HK Cafe. Shopped around. Trying out apparels. Damn hell funny. Ended the day quite late. Around 11 plus then reached Boon Lay. Tired day. Haha.

After which, went back to Jaybee on Tuesday morning. Long time since I went back. After the mugging marathons, its time to supplement myself with good food instead of those unhealthy food outside. Was raining like nobody business. Oh ya, something stunned me. That was during this wednesday afternoon when the downpour was extremely heavy. Suddenly, a “red-blue” lightning striked. Few hours later, I saw the Bomba came. You know what, the lightning striked into a house and kena fire. Dangerous man. Like that also can get fire.

Re-entered Singapore on Thursday evening. Met up with Ryan for the two days, we went to Bugis Junction and Bugis Street. Urms, had Ramen for dinner. Also ended up quite late. Then on Saturday morning, we went to Bukit Batok Driving Center. Tell you, theres someone inside so dishonest. Shall not really elaborate man…but the service there sucks. Headed to Johor Bahru City Square after which. Luckily, we got our tickets for “Spiderwicks Choronicles”. Extremely nice…haha. But abit childish la, but its a good show. By the way, I am aiming for “The Forbidden Kingdom”…think its a very good show by Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Woohoo. Homed quite late…so drained as that afternoon had a hard time traveling across the checkpoint….because of the Mas Selamat thing lor.

Was in Malaysia again after which. Busy with other things. Watching Astro shows….really nothing to do. Haha. Had a great time with my family once again. And now, I am back, shall continue to swot hard for my studies yeah. I wanna sun tan @ Siloso!!! But frankly speaking, there isnt any sight of the sun…duh…! Revision classes starting soon…chiong arh!

The Eight of March, in the year of a thousand eight, marks a significant milestone for the Malaysian history. For nearly fives years of Badawi’s Dynasty, this day has brought to an end of it. A new dawn for Malaysia, arising new hopes and new lifes. The ruling coaltion party, Barisan National has suffered a bitter lost in the 12th General Election. The BN suffers worst electoral defeats in nearly 40 years. What had exactly happened? What-so-ever reasons gonna be, its the judgement day for BN, its the report book for the Badawi’s Government.

The Barisan National lost its standings in the two-third paliamentary seats, where they only secured 139 out of 220 seats counted for the 222-seat. While, opposition parties, DAP, PKR and PAS held the remaining 81 parliamentary seats. Whats more? The BN coalition has lost 5 states to the oppostion. They are mainly Perak, FT Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kedah and Selangor. Many unexpected and surprising outcomes were constantly reported in the evening of 8 March. Datuk Samy Vellu, Minister for Works has lost its seat in Perak, Besides Samy Vellu, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Zainuddin Maidin and Abdul Aziz Shamsuddin were also defeated in the elections.

Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi has reassured the people that he will not step down as Prime Minister. In fact, the pressure has yet been released. Somehow, Abdullah was punished over rising crime and inflation in an election also tinged by rising racial tensions between majority Muslim Malays and minority ethnic Chinese and Indians. Even the former Prime Minister (my idol political figure) Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has also pointed his finger saying that PM Abdullah must bear the full resposibility for poll shock. According to Channelnewsasia.com, Mahathir cited that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has “destroyed” the ruling coalition after disastrous weekend elections. He added that he has apparently made the wrong choice in choosing him as the Prime Minister. In addition, he said: “The problem is we (the government) have become so arrogant. We suppress any opinion that we do not like and they begin to believe in their own reports which are not actually consistent with what is happening in the country.” In all, I still prefer the Mahathir legacy, the Mahathir Way.

On the other hand, its the rising of the Ex-Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim. In fact, I like his way when speaking to media, to the public and to the world stages. He gave me and my friends a “long lost” kinda self confidence and self supportive. Moreover, he know his point well, and he can deliver. The spirit that has lost after the resigning of Former PM Mahathir.

Whatever it gonna be…its in fact, new hope and dawn for all Malaysians. Who has won is not the critical issue anymore…its more importantly to assess if they can deliver what the people wants. Can Malaysia become much better off? Can Malaysia be at a competitive stage? Can Malaysia stands out in the International Arena? Its just the start for the next report card, and the results, well, we will see that in 5 years’ time. Keranamu Malaysia! and MALAYSIA BOLEH!

———-UPDATES ON MY LIFE——————–

It has not been great day for me today. I used one full day to finish my POA subject, in which the paper is tomorrow. How pathetic I can be…and l really looked sicked. OMG, can you believe that I studied from 10 am to 9 pm and still going on later? I am going mad soon. Nevertheless, its tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day, when the Prelims officially end. However, Revision Classes are on the list, and I will never lower down my guts as the final examination is not far. Good luck everyone, and lets do our best for the last paper. Jia you AZA!

Life isnt getting any better, for me and, most probably, anyone else who are still making their way through this monstorous preliminary examination. Its somehow still, the midst of the examination. Frankly speaking, I am getting sicked out of it. Almost for few weeks, my life have filled with examination intensities, which it nearly gets out of control. In the beginning, its Economics. The process that I have experienced was not easy though, everyday to get myself down to the library, and make myself focus on what I have to focus. Needless to say, its exam stuffs.

And there goes Economics, following Mathematics, and today, I have completed Statistics. You may ask, how long does it go? Soon, but tomorrow is the, which I defined as the toughest and most difficult paper to handle. Over the past few days, nearly a week, I have been trying to make myself get the hang on the theories in the Principles of Banking and Finance subject…its terribly content intensive. When I tried to open up my notes, starting to absorb, I wanted to vomit. Its identical to the days during A levels, especially the awful experience that we went through studying for Chinese A Literature. Its mostly memorising work. You memorise today, you forget after the next. Its like nothing goes into my mind of stupidity, or I shall say “Fatal Memory System”.

Well, luckily I got people to pull me towards the end, my buddy, my friends, my family and so on, its tough. Whatever it gonna be, shall try my best to tackle the paper tomorrow by any means. Moreover, its just PRELIMS. Haha. Somehow I can laugh at myself. Just puzzling, why should I make my life so difficult and why should I let “examinations” to be the hinderance to my happiness. I once heard someone said, “I should never let examinations to change the way I live, because there are more things that are worth to, for us to look forward.” And, I am trying to do that.

Alrytes, apart from these examinations, I really have nothing much to update. Maybe you think that I am boring, but thats parts and parcels of life. Now, major examinations are coming my way, I should not think for any fun or extreme entertainment…instead, leaving these to the June Period. Moving onwards, I have been living my life much contently, because the life I lead now is great. Be more optimistic, and soon everything will come to an end.

On the lighter note, its really glad to see Warren Buffet topples Bill Gates to become the world billionaire, with a net worth from USD 54 BIL to USD 64 BIL. Anyways, hes insane in a way (his money grows at a billion rate).
