Just live your life.

Exams are over and done with! 😀 I can’t believe this all went by so fast. It’s a good thing lah, it’s just that the last few days went by crazily fast. And I’m going back in a few daysssss hahah omg I can’t wait. Ok first of all, thank you guys for the wishes and stuff 🙂 My birthday this year was spent very differently than all the previous ones, I spent it studying in the Matheson library with Bun and Freddy! Hahahha. Exams started the very next day for me so yeah I really had to. The weekend before my birthday, we stayed over at the city again and went to the Swinburne library and the state library to study. I actually met some of my classmates at the state library. The state library was really nice though, I love the building and stuff. It was actually quite productive for me since the pressure was on and I didn’t have much time. Also went to watch Night at the Museum 2 and Angels and Demons during the weekends. Night at the Museum 2 was okay only la, didnt watch the first one so I cant really compare. Angels and Demons was good! Damn, I wanna watch it again. We went back to Clayton on Tuesday, then headed to the Matheson with Bun and Freddy.. then Freddy couldn’t concentrate so we went back to Rusden to Bun‘s place to study. Had Nandos for dinner, then Bun made mashed and she and her housemates and Fred put a candle on top of it and sang happy birthday to me hahhaha. Nice.

After studying for another few hours I decided to go back up to my place so I could concentrate more. These few days have been so tiring, I’ve staying up til like 5 – 6am to study, crazy man. I don’t think I’ve ever done that in my studying life, so I guess it can be a good thing. My first exam was at the Caulfield Racecourse, so mafan lah I didn’t even know where it was. My initial plan was to take the shuttle bus from Clayton to Caulfield campus, or take the train or something. But (and I know most of you will not be surprised when I say this) I didn’t really plan things properly and if I took the bus I would be late for my exam at 2.30pm. So I took the cab. Hahahha. It costed me 20 bucks! I guess that was my fault, but the important thing is that it got me there on time. My first exam was Microeconomics, and I was actually kinda worried about it before but it was alright, not too bad except for some questions on long-run and short-run that I didn’t understand. After my exam, I went to meet WJ and Fred at the Caulfield library and surprisingly, Shigs was there. I was supposed to revise Marketing then, but we went for dinner with Shigs and then left for home. Had dinner at Uzu, the tempura don was not bad although I think they should’ve put more prawns. 

Marketing exam the next day. It was quite okay actually. The 2 hours was like pressure man, I finished the exam 5 minutes before the end time. Same goes with Management, goddammit. When I got to the essay question in Management, my hands were so weak already man wth. I had to write slower so my handwriting didn’t look like shit. After I got back from my Management exam, I slept for about two hours, then woke up to eat with Fred (haha so kesian, he had to wait for me to wake up then eat cos I was so tired) and then a while after eating, I slept for two hours again! Wth man. So I started revising Accounting at 9pm. Accounting was the hardest to revise man. I finished writing all my notes and revising at 6am, wahlao eh. I wanted to give up and go to sleep at about 4 – 5am, but I couldn’t! I didn’t want my last exam to be crappy just cause it was my last exam. Luckily though, the exam was at 2.30pm so I didn’t have to wake up so early in the morning. I woke up at 11am, showered then revised again. I went to campus about an hour earlier cause I still had to find the Engineering building. I feel so useless la, I don’t even know my campus! Hahahaha. Finally found the building, and sat down looking through my notes one last time before heading to the exam hall. I gotta say that exam was the hardest among all my exams, because of the worksheet which I couldn’t balance at all! So damn annoying! The rest of the paper was fine though. When we got out of the exam hall, it was like so dark already, so scary. That’s what I hate about the coming winter. It was only 6pm, but it felt like 8 or 9pm. It was sooo cold today. 

I went back to Fred‘s place after that, had dinner for a while and then slept. I just woke up. Guess I won’t be sleeping early tonight. I’ve got quite a lot of things to do before going back. Pay my rent (and possibly ask for a 50% discount on my rent since I won’t be here for most of the month), buy things for back home, collect my brother’s watch, meet up with Carrie for lunch + shopping on Monday, wash my clothes, and pack! God knows how long I will take to pack. Anyways, so sorry for the lack of pictures.. AGAIN. I promise you though, I’ll have pictures once I get to Brunei. 

I’m craving for Boost juice now. 😦

All or nothing.

Somebody help. I can’t believe exams are next week. Where did the time go? On the brighter side, I’ll be back in two weeks. Home sweet home! 😀 But I would have to get through exams first. Anyway, it’s 3.45am and I just finished my weekly dose of Accounting questions. I wonder why I never took them seriously until now.

Fred and I stayed over the city on the weekend. All we did was study and stayed in the house though. Hahahhaa. We reached the city at around 5pm on Friday. Omg, it was such a hassle getting there. It was only supposed to be a 40 minute train ride but we spent like one and a half hours to get to the city. Firstly we got on the Flinders St train, then when we were in Flinders St, we just sat in the train thinking that it was the City Loop train where it would stop by all the stations in the city first, buttttttt it changed to the Sandringham train so it went backwards. So from there we got off at Richmond and waited for another train to go back to the city. This time, we got off the train and thank god we did, it was gonna go to Sandringham too. Took another train from Flinders to Southern Cross, but this time we waited for a whole 20 minutes for this train to start moving! Damn slow lah, and the train was packed too.

Finally reached Southern Cross and walked across the road to Som and Gary’s apartment. We went swimming after that at the indoor pool. Felt kinda nice to swim after so long. Then we went to the sauna.. damn hot but so nice when you first enter cause its so warm. After getting out of the sauna I felt so light-headed.. probably been in there a little bit too long. Did nothing after that except have dinner and went online. I was so tired that day I fell asleep on the couch twice. The guys stayed up til like 5am playing their game.. crazy man. The next day, Fifi picked us all up to have lunch at the GPO building and then we went to the library at Swinburne. We reached there at around 2pm and stayed there til midnight. Hardcore mannn! Was revising Management the whole day. At the end I just got so pissed off with Management.. and it didn’t help that the topic I was studying was all about the history of management. SO. DAMN. BORING!! Remind me never to take a Management unit ever again.

Anyway, we were all pretty tired after that we just lazed around playing with our laptops and games. The guys were playing Cabal as usual and I was playing Word Challenge on Facebook. Hahah I know, so sad! We slept at 5am that night, dont even know how the hell it got so late. We were supposed to do more studying the next day at the library in the city, but we woke up too late.

Right now it feels like one day has 12 hours instead of 24. Goddammit. I’m super worried that I don’t have enough time to revise. And here I am blogging. And before I did my tutorial questions, I went online shopping (for the very first time!), and then I kept browsing through other websites. That’s also the reason why I’m still up at this time.

Everyone’s getting sick again. So scared la.. don’t want to get sick when I go back, later I kena quarantined hahaha omg nooooo. *touch wood* man. I was gonna wake up earlier to study before my class starts but I seriously don’t think I’ll be assed to wake up that early anymore since it’s 4am now.

Apparently we aren’t allowed to use a graphics display calculator in the Accounting exam. Damn. I actually lost my scientific calculator.

Anyway I gotta go and get ready for bed. First I gotta figure out what to wear tomorrow. Shit I hate this part. And yes this is a nightly routine, otherwise I would be late for school. Goodnight!

This morning, I handed in my last two assignments. My goodness, my Management essay took up about 12 hours in total. But yes, I’m done with assignments for now. It doesn’t get any better though. I have to start revision this week! I MUST! 😦 The worst thing about the weekend was that I still had a test on Saturday morning, so I had to stay up late to study for Accounting. The questions were alright, but I didn’t get to finish the paper! It was only 1 and a half hours, when I thought it would be at least 2 hours. Die laaaah. But anyways, after that, we all went to the DFO at Moorabbin. Honestly it isn’t that far by car. The DFO there looked pretty crap to me.. hahaha but yeah. Surprisingly I don’t think I was really in the mood for shopping, which was very good. I didn’t buy anything until the end where I bought two really warm hoodies. It’s getting colder and colder now. And after that, I didn’t feel like buying anything anymore. Awesome!! 😀 Save money. I still need to get stuff to bring back home though….. and those stuff aren’t for me hahah. At night, everyone came over to Freddy’s and they cooked assam laksa  hahaha. It was alright la, not bad. Then we went to watch X-Men! I gotta say it was quite good hahah. Interesting stuff.

On Sunday, I woke up real late, like at 2pm. Had Subway for lunch, was quite good eh. Then started working on our assignments and everything. The next thing I knew, when I finished my assignment, it was like 2am. Bloody hell, time passes so fast here. Back in Brunei, it seems like everything moves soo slow. I wonder why. 

Okay I know my blogs have been realllllly reallly boring for the past few months, cause I never post any pictures up, but omg I can never find the time and effort to actually post pictures up slowly. I’m afraid I’ve got no pictures today again.. cause I’m going to take a nap now, damn tired since I slept at like 4am again last night. I fell asleep in my lecture for a few seconds too. I never fall asleep in class! And just now was damn risky too cause I had the strictest lecturer who gets really annoyed at people being late and sleeping in his lectures. Ok, I’m offfff. Might come back again tonight to post pictures. MIGHT. Hahaha.

help me.

It’s funny how I don’t ever blog when I’m free as a bird and have absolutely nothing to do, but I do blog when I actually have something to do, like say study for a mid-test that’s going to take place in about 7 hours. And the icing on the cake this time is that this is the unit that I have to put the most effort in. Why? Why couldn’t they do this next week, which would help us concentrate more because by then all our assignments would be handed in? So on top of trying to study for this Accounting test, I have 2 assignments due on Monday. The good thing is that after Monday, I have no more assignments left to do and then I can start revising for the exams. (I’m serious btw.) 

I’m taking a break now, but I have to get back to Ratio Analysis again soon. Yes, that’s what we used to learn in Business. I just can’t always seem to remember them.. too many! Ok I’m actually gonna go back to studying now, I’m starting to have a headache.
