It seems like time past extremely fast these few weeks. January speed by and now it’s going to be Chinese New Year soon! This also means that my final mocks are coming and I do not even have at least 50% progress in my revision. I always feel that having examinations right after the Chinese New Year is a terribly bad plan. We can’t even enjoy our new year without having to worry about the upcoming exams. I am determine to catch up on my studies over the next 2 weeks and enjoy a relaxing new year instead. “I shall worry about that later” is one of my undesirable tagline.
My check-list for the new year:
- Chinese New Year decorations – Check!
- Spring cleaning – Check!
- New clothes – Check!
- New Year goodies, snacks, chocolates, drinks and food – Check!
- Mahjong table – Check! We bought a new one after one of ours was stolen a few weeks back.
- Manicure nails – Check!
- Prepare my stomach to welcome all the delicious food and snacks – Check!
What else are there left?
Chinese New Year Goodies
Colourful candies

To convince myself that I’m still hardworking, I decided to continue the “twitpic of the week” posts. I will be posting a photo collage of what I’ve done over the past week to fill up the “empty days” I didn’t blog about previously. My half mocks will start on 30 November thus I’m trying my best not to procrastinate and start reading the huge pile of notes. I’ve accumulated quite a substantial amount of reading which means I’ll basically be staring at my notes for the next few weeks. 
On a very random note, I’ve officially broke my first mug in the bathroom today. I am usually very careful when handling glass but I’m such a blockhead this morning. If you haven’t notice, I’ve also increased the font size on Amour Chaleur because my vision is getting from bad to worse. Bigger text makes reading easier for me and hopefully for you as well. 
Anyway, I was a happy user of Snaptu till the application decided to disappear from my INQ mini yesterday. No matter how many times I’ve tried, it refuses to reinstall so I switched to Twim now. I’m going to pray hard it continues to work until I get my iphone (hopefully) next year. Speaking of which my LG Viewty is still alive but I’ve neglected it. It’s sitting quietly in one of my drawers now. I might switch back to my Viewty next month because as much as I dislike touch screen phones, I still missed it.
I got my results today and I pass all 4 subjects. 
I’ve a morning class today and I login to check at 7am in the morning. Surprising, the results were already posted at about 2am. I got a message from my friend at 2am telling me that she has passed all her papers. I only saw the message the next morning when I woke up. Anyway, I was freaking out when I keyed in my particulars to get the exams results. My first try was denied as I keyed in the wrong candidate number. 
Thank god the second attempt worked.
So here’s the results for my UOL academic year 2008/2009:
| Subjects |
Score |
Degree class equivalent for |
| Management Accounting |
70 |
First Class Honours |
| Corporate Finance |
68 |
Upper Second Class Honours |
| Microeconomics |
58 |
Lower Second Class Honours |
| Principals of Banking and Finance |
50 |
Lower Second Class Honours |
I’m really glad I pass my Banking and Finance, but wasn’t pleased with MA and CF. I could have worked just a little harder to get another 2 more marks and that would make so much difference. The Microeconomics paper was the easiest one I’ve sat for but I did not manage to do well for it. 
I shall work even harder this year. I’m aiming for at least 60 marks in all 4 papers I’m sitting for this year. I wish to graduate with at least an Upper Second Class Honours.
On a side note, there’s a John Little Sales for card members from 1st to 3rd September. Thus, mum and I decided to pop by to check out the sales.
