The end is near... It gets 'sweeter by the day'
Today is the 21st of April and I have officially rid myself of two exam papers. One more to go... *sigh*...
today's paper was....how do I put it.... WEIRD... Not so much the question but how I felt about it. Its been a long time since I really answered proper essay questions ( my lecturers are generally lazy to mark essay questions with exception of one or two)... and today, I received 4 LONG essay questions.
Total marks were 100 and question four was worth 50 marks! Can you imagine the horror that went through my head as I read the total marks? I couldn't believe me eyes.... Thinking back to the notes of my lectures, there really wasn't much to study... And there it was before my eyes. an essay question that blows my mind beyond recognition....
I went through the questions one by one... And one by one my mind came up blank.. I thought I was in for DOOMSDAY.... (is that how it's spelled?) Then the lecturer mentioned one thing that kept my hand writing till I couldn't anymore...
"JUST write..."
So, 'just write' I did (as al did many of my friends).... Until now, I do not know what I have written nor remember it... All I can remember was that my hand was flying all over the pages filling it with words.. I hope that i amidst all those gibberish I would have hit a point or two... And this is where I ask for God's intervention... :P
Whatever it is, I have done as best as I could. I shall now focus on my Final year project report which is to be handed up on the 26th and my last paper on the 25th... I hope I can manage...
I guess this enough updates for now.
Take care, and God Bless.
Ciao.
p.s. To other students; past, present and future, here's to those papers where we always feel confused about. Without them, life would be boring.. Haha :)

Pressure....
Just finished a long weekend... Easter weekend...
Anyway, today it is official... My exams are starting in a few hours time... And yet, I'm still sitting here typing on my blog... (This is sad)
Well... I still can't get over the fact that I will be finishing my degree course in 3 weeks time... But still there is a chance that I might fail a subject and have to repeat.... that would be my worse case scenario... Aaahhh!!!!! God please help me....
I really have nothing to write actually... I guess it is just nerves..... Have to calm them down....
Alrights, I guess that is all for now.. Take care and God Bless
Ciao.

Easter
As I was walking down life's highway many years ago, I came upon a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store.
When I got a little closer the door swung open wide
And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels.
They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said "My child, shop with care."
Everything a human needed was in that grocery store.
And what you could not carry, you could come back for more.
First I got some Patience.
Love was in that same row.
Further down was Understanding.
You need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom, and Faith a bag or two.
And Charity of course.
I would need some of that too.
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, It was all over the place.
And then some Strength and Courage to help me run this race.
My basket was getting full but I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for Salvation was free.
I tried to get enough of that to do for you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill.
For I thought I had everything to do the Master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and put that in,
For I know when I stepped outside I would run into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful, the last things on the shelf.
Song and Praise were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel "Now how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I asked "Really now, How much do I owe?"
"My child," he said,
"God paid your bill a long, long time ago."

Isn't God great?
p/s: Happy Easter everyone.

A taste of adulthood...
Monday... the day I dreaded....
But I did fine actually.. :) Managed to hand in my C.V to my faculty and also my final year project draft to my lecturer.. So I'm fine...
Then my friends told me there was going to be an interview session by Nestle (yes Milo, Maggi, Nestum, Nespray, Nestea, NesVita, etc....) for Managerial training program. They were all going to give it a try for fun. So there I was, begged by my friends to join in the group. I mean, I did get my C.V done so why not right?
Thoughts ran through my head.. My very first interview!!!! Not expecting anything, but a little experience that would really be a great exposure to my future job applications.
I went to the interview room, was asked to fill in a LOOOONNNNGGGG form only then was I sitted down. I was third in row after my fellow coursemates. There was three booths altogether so the three of us went first. After the interview, I discussed with my coursemates what was asked and the three of us had different reactions.
My other two coursemates said that their interviewers were the ones talking while they listened.. Guess what.. I was interviewed by the Chairman!!!! (Human Resource Director!!!) Aaaarrrghh!!! I personally had a scary time.. My interviewer had such a big presence that I actually felt very small sitting across him. (And I'm a relatively Big person)
He asked me on my credits and on my claims that I've held several posts in clubs. He also asked on what my expectations were if I were to work in Nestle. Other then that he gave me a CBI session (Competency something something). Was too intimidated to really hear anything.. And finally he ended the interview by giving me a little advice on interviews and what to expect from other future interviews ( I told him this was my first interview).
All in all it was an experience to remember and to gain from. I lost nothing but I had a brush with adulthood. I learned that I may be 21 but I am very far from being prepared. If this is just a little taste of what I'm going to get in the future, I better start getting ready....
I guess that is it for now, take care all.
Ciao.
p/s: Too all those who are stepping into the real world and going through the interview phase, All the best to you.

One down...
Remember in my last post where I mentioned a list of things that were trials to me?? Well.... One has been erased... therefore the title :)
I handed in my assignment this week and all I have to do now is just concentrate on my Final Year Project and my exams... But who am I kidding??!!! Just? I have to hand in m first draft in 2 days time. What have I done? Hmm.... ( Had better not reveal just in case...)
What's even worse is that my faculty had to add to my already impending list.. (is that the right way to put it?) Yesterday, my faculty called me up to tell me to hand in my CV or short for Curriculum Vitae to them by Monday. For what reason you ask? Well, that is for you and me to find out because I do not know myself.... Time will tell...
Moving along, today I made my passport photo and it turned out much, much better then my IC did. I had a great laughing session with Su Yin today. We both compared how we look in our photos over the years. I'm still laughing just at the thought of it... :)
I guess I have nothing else to say for now... My head is just to dizzy thinking about what to write for my report.... Monday Dateline... aaahhhh!!!!! (Brings full meaning to the song Manic Monday).
Okies, that's all for now. Take care all.
Ciao.
p/s: Brian (brother), this post is dedicated to you. Happy 17th Birthday (a little late la but nevermind..)

The countdown
The countdown for me has started. Countdown to the finish line. The end of my last lap. The little light of hope down the tunnel becoming Bigger, wider, brighter......
And from where I am, to the end, trials will come my way. Trials in the form of:
1) Final Year Project Thesis
2) Final Year Project Presentation
3) Analisis of data for project
4) An assignment worth 20% (so much!!!)
5) Three gruesome days of exams
Sounds familiar anyone? =) Yeah, its coming to the end of my degree and i just need to tie up loose ends here and there before I can call myself a graduate. I know, for those who has gone through it, you guys may be laughing at me but for me at this moment, finishing my degree is a BIG thing.
I officially finish on the 5th of May where I have to hand in my final draft of my thesis. Unofficially i do not know how long my lecturers will keeping us. I hope not too long.. I can't believe that after 18 years of studying including 3 years of kindy I finally receive one certificate that says that I have received a degree. Phew!!! Sure took me a looonnnggg time :)
That's if my thesis is approved. Should I fail any subject or ruin my thesis, I would have to extend my studies. Lord, HELP ME.
Before I end, just want to show you a little picture of a bearded pig in BAKO National Park. Went for a little class trip a few weeks ago. Byes for now.
Ciao.

A bump to begin with
Many of you have been wondering where I've been. Sorry for my absence. Since I started my final year in uni, life has been as hectic as can be. (I can't imagine when I work next time)...
Currently my final year project is taking up lots of time and when I finally touch down at home, I'm too exausted to even on the laptop and start typing.. With my final tear coming to a closure (in a few months), the work load has gone up a notch. Baggy panda eyes show clearly... *Sigh*
But I will try my best to update the blog as much as possible. No promises though. Personal thanks to all that have linked me and waited patiently for posts to come out. *sheepish smile*. To the expert bloggers, can you please leave notes for me on: -
i) how to add in chatterbox
ii) how to link friends blogs to mine.
That's it from me for now. Have a lunch date with my coursemates and then off to class. Another day in UNIMAS.... tata
