Student Exchange Programme for AY08/09 Opened!

Hi everyone! thanks for the concern shown over the weekends... Im alright... the current thing that is bothering me now school work, SEP application and my relationship with people... yupz...
For school i already failed EC2303 guess the only thing now i can do is to work harder and do well for my final Exam... which is in a month time... for other module gotta work hard to score gd grades to backup the poor grade that EC2303 might bring forth....

Secondly, i am doing my SEP application... was very confused on how to do the study plan (which u gotta plan what module u wanna take in overseas partner university and link with which module in NUS provided) and a 500 word essay on how u can be a good ambassador for NUS. Anybody knows how to do abt it pls contact me ok? Thank God my dad will be sponsering for the SEP for me if its below 10K and now i am hoping to get the $3000 scholarship from SP alumni.

Lastly, the final thing that bother me is my relationship with people... yupz still hoping for the best... yupz it takes time... hoping at the end of the day everything gets better at the same time being a better person =)...

he passed away

I was quite stunned when i saw the msg from Jo... after a few moments indeed i felt grieve... never in my life that i had a fren who passed away.... felt that nothing is taken for granted.... Indeed life is fragile... he is someone who has went mission trip with me twice and become my roommate who used to sleep beside me passed away yst morning... he fought a long battle with cancer... despite of suffering in this disease and the pain... he chose to look life positive... i will never forget the moments i used to chat with him in the room... i admire his courage... his passion for God.. See u in heaven my fren...

Thought of The Day

Feel like throwing in the towel... things seems not doing better... tired emotionally & mentally.... feel kind of forsaken although u tried ur best.... dunno wad to do... lost... reluctant.... trampled upon and bruised.... currently 3000 word eassy to go... but dun feel like doing.... wonder when will he see the sunshine again...

First Test Failure in NUS

Just received my mid term for EC2303 indeed i failed my first paper in NUS 14.5 out of 30 ... although is a margin of 0.5 but the means score was 18.6 and the median score was 18.5 with Standard Deviation of 4.9 which means i'm like at the lower bound of the whole cohort in the class... think gotta study harder for econometrics and my EC3322 which is tough too... kind of having a dampen mood after i know my mid term results... i need a laugh gd time seriously... i also realised i drop a lot of hair while im showering... bad bad bad.... too much things (not only academic stuff) in my head already....

EC2303 - Foundations of Econometrics

As mentioned above in the title... i did very badly for the paper... spend most of the time staring and having a blank mind... totally forget how to do despite the question is similiar to tutorial... deserve to slap myself... haiz... overall the paper is tough... even Nana also felt the same as me.... and many ppl say is hard... hope that statement is credible hahaha... then bell curve... then not so bad =P

Parables

Parable 1:
A Salesman selling his products... some customers appreciates his products... some conversely dun.... At first he sow a lot of effort convincing the customer which dun appreciate what he sells, trying to improve his product and being very nice to the customers... but he reap nothing... no results... instead he turn his focus on the small demand that appreciates his products... and he earns some profit and the profit can be used to develop his product...

Parable 2:
Some people love cars.... car owning in Singapore is very expensive... in terms of buying and maintaining it.... car lovers wish to own as many cars they like as possible... so he or she bought many cars... in the end he go bankrupt in buying and maintaining the cars... burn out in terms of washing and maintain the car too... then now he is suffering from depression due to such unecessary burdens that he had purchase...

If Change Does Not Come From The Top Voluntarily, It Will Come From The Bottom By Revolution

Today is October 1st... its children's day.... is was 12 yrs ago i last celebrated childrens day... where in school u celebrate it... then in primary sch they give u free gift with the school logo print on it... those were the days...

I suddenly realised i know a few ppl who stay in my hse around through out my stay in JW... first was Weiqiang whom i know through a fren... then followed by Lynn Choo a fren in church and a fren stay opposite my block called melissa... after that i know Sharon in school whom stay near me followed by Gareth... then this year first was Clarice who is my freshie in my OG after that my SP in my church orientation programme in NUS stays exactly the same street same block and same floor.... freaky... next was Jasmine whom also from yellow hse stay opposite street and today... i know a church fren in the most random way... was late for church and wanna took a cab... then i saw her waiting for cab also... at first i dunno who she was but she looks like from church and wanna take cab to church also from her body language.... so i asked her are u going Expo (since sharing cab is so much cheaper from 1 person pay $20+ become 1 Person pay $10+) so i decided ask her wanna share and she agreed.... and during the journey got to know each other and i know she is called Vanessa.... talking about it seem to realised that life is pretty interesting... knowing ppl in such a random and interesting way... hahah just having a random thought after much stress from EC3322 Industrial Organisation Tutorial Due tml... haiz... stress stress stress....

Anyway today went for some men's meeting in church... one of the point spoken was kind of reminded of wat i mentioned before... where autocracy is gd actually... but is gd only when the leader is gd.... yupz the point was

"If change does not come from the top voluntarily, it will come from the bottom by revolution"

This is statement is so true looking at the recently happening in Myanmmar and in the past like the overthrown of Qing Dynasty, The Cultural Revolution in China by Mao Tze Dong, French Revolution and more.... anyway below is the photos of Oweek O comm thank you dinner hahaha more pictures coming in! stay tuned! =)
