Very random…

Slacking

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Slacking

Ok… I’m slacking now ;p I mean from blogging. Can’t find time to edit those photos and post. Been pretty busy trying to get a hang of my study. Post grad is totally different from undergrad. The workload is pretty heavy. Even though I have only 2 classes per week but the workload can be a one week workload or even more.

Has been very hardworking doing my reading and research these days. I’ve never touch my books like this before -.-” Expectations and requirements are so different. Even go to uni every day to do research and use the Internet but I don’t use it to update my blog. This one is only for when I’m back home. I’ve been getting home late these days(broke my personal record of reaching home at 12am and spent more than 12 hours outside of the house doing study related stuffs), by the time I got myself settled down, it’s time for me to sleep already.

Anyway, I have 5 marketing journals need to do, 1 business report, 2 presentations, and 1 group project. That’s quite a lot for only 2 subjects right?

I remember how I used to be the one who helped my friends with their assignments and projects. I can’t believe now I need people to help me to adapt and teach me research skills here. The skills is different from what I had done back home in previous studies. Good thing, I have friends here who are ready to help me even without me asking. Once I got the hang of it, it shouldn’t be a problem since this is my first time attending a full-time university education, what’s more a level higher than what I had done before.

Long holiday this weekend! Wonder will I be spending it doing research or go out to places of interest?

We’ll see. That’s all for now. Need to sleep.

Guests from KL

This is supposed to be posted long long time ago. It happened almost a month ago when Firefly had its inaugural flight to Kuching. Was waiting for the photo to be uploaded by Spinzer, finally got it quite awhile ago and only now I have the mood to post it. Actually I’m just too lazy to edit many many photos ;p

We(bloggers from Kuching) “smuggled” the bloggers from KL(I think most of them are bloggers) out from the cocktail reception at Merdeka Palace for some street food in Kuching after learning about their “ordeal” ;p

There you go… Our group photo.

I’ve been pretty occupied these days. Almost too lazy to update this blog. OH NO! This must not happen!! My mind is just too busy to relax and blog. Been spending hours and hours to do research.

Some more, I’m still sick. Stuffy nose, headache, blocked ears…

Seriously… What on earth is wrong with you people?!? All come to look for me at the same time when I’m too busy for those things. Now, less than a month to go, how to complete the things?

Headache… Stress…

Happy 2011

Finally got time to blog. Just reached Kuching 5 hours ago.

How was your celebration?

Nothing much for me, was in Singapore. Spent it in the hotel room packing, showering, and sleeping *LOL* I did not manage to get new clothes or shoes but just some random little things. It feels weird because usually I’ll surely bought at least some clothes since CNY is coming and should be doing my shopping there ;p

The trip was quite tiring, never have a trip this tired hmm… Legs are painful too, walked too much. Surprising, I met so many people that I know on this trip. What’s the odd of having someone you know boarded the same flight as you, stayed at the same hotel(only found out the on the third day, met at the lobby), and went back on the same flight too? Then, met another person that happened to spend her holiday in Singapore at a place you least expected, a coffee shop in Singapore. Next, one of my blog readers was on the same flight but saw her from afar, didn’t manage to approach her.

As if everyone in Kuching was heading to Singapore these few months. Almost everyone I know all visited Singapore these few months. Guess it’s the new attractions and the affordable flight tickets.

As usual… I’ll blog about the trip 😉

Happy new year and hope you have a wonderful year ahead!

Have to Change Plan

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Have to Change Plan

Finally my second IELTS result is out, same result but different scoring pattern.

This is what I got previously..

This time…

I thought I did very well in the listening this time but aiksss… How come such result? I’m expecting a band score of above 8! Maybe it’s too easy this time around until they adjusted the scale.

As expected… Reading was bad, writing wasn’t very confident too. Ended up, I got 6.5 for reading, fell from the previous 7, I couldn’t complete section 3 and I was expecting the worst. There’s nothing change for writing, what a relief ;p However, still not satisfied but I knew I didn’t do well in it that time.

Speaking improved 1 band, quite happy with it because the topic given to me was the one I did prepare for! So lucky! I saw the topic the night before the test and prepared for it. On that day itself, I was hoping I won’t be getting that topic but I ended having it. Luckily I had prepared the necessary answers for it. Phew… I have no idea why I’m always given with such difficult topic or topic I’m not well-versed in. Good thing I saw this topic and took the trouble to prepare for it. I thought of skipping it some more! Thank goodness.

The average is 7 but still not all 7. At least, this time it’s nearer to the requirement. Good thing for the rounding up, else it’ll be below 7! However, the previous one got an average of exactly 7, no rounding up required all thanks to the listening part. So, I have no idea whether to say there’s improvement or not. No matter what, plan has to be changed and I have my backup plan ready.

Oh well… I don’t want to stress myself too much about IELTS anymore. That’s my English standard so just accept it. I don’t want to resit anymore, it’s not feasible at all.
