I just did a stupid thing. making coffee without boiling the water. SHIT! well.. that's a ice coffee than.. NOT ice ice.. ehh.. cold one.. okay! whatever. What am i saying?
Anyways.. I did a bad thing last night.. okay. not bad bad also.. coz that's my personality.. hah... and personalities cant be bad except when others cant accept it right? ( I'm just trying to make myself less guilty! haha)
OKay! what happens is.. I'm doing the Financial Audit essay that is due on sunday. BUT bcoz we are going scotland tonight.. I have to finish it yesterday so i can hand it in today. ( have i mention that before or am i repeating myself?) ... So.. there's this referencing part that i am totally clueless about.. we have to use Harvard referencing.. and its not like in ntu where we just state the sources at the end of the essay! we gotta reference IN the essay where their concepts have been used.. or quotations taken from...
Example. I learn from the lecture notes that public expects auditors to find all fraud.. and that is not true... so when i'm discussing it in my essay.. i have to reference.. ( tutor's name, year of lecture note).. Imagine ur whole essay filled with this "(...)" coz basically you learn all the concepts from books and lecture notes! gosh!..
anyways.. i'm digressing... back to the " me being bad" point.. so my housemates were in my room.. and so i just ask thm if they know anything about this referencing and how to go about doing it... but they are telling me everything else except HOW to do it.. and i snapped back.. saying something like " you are not answering my qns". Okay.. tats quite bad! I agree.. SORRY! hah.. but yah.. I was in a hurry to finish my stupid essay so i can go on to do other stuff!
yah.. tats my personality.. Its not about being stressed or anything ( this piece of work is not even going to be graded lar.. ) but just that.. yah! when im doing my work, I put all concentration into it.. and when im playing, I put all my heart into it as well! so, the random comments about anything else other than work when im doing my work just pissed me off! (ie telling me about weather or some gossips or whatever when im listening to lecture...) I think its a waste of time. haha.. Dun ask me why i think so, i just do. Mum has commented that i should change this attitude a couple of times BUT.. i cant! whaha.. too bad..
Its the same thing about playing. When im on the playing mood, i just wan to act silly and laugh and just have fun without the need to think about... work. (ie. last time when asked about my internship and stuff.. i'll be like " can we not talk about that? its boring leh".. although i know the person is just being concern but ya.. )
so that's it! Its my personality! and I dun think i'll be able to change it in the near future. Accept me for who i am ba! if not... can just kick me away! yeah!
Anyways.. I've mentioned in the previous post im doing this extra module right! I went for the class yesterday and its SUPER interesting. Module name: Professional and logical skills. Explain this sentence " Extinguish your cigarette before entering the building"... what would you think?
common ans: --> you cannot smoke in the building, You cannot bring a lighted cigarette into the building... etc
BUT NO! That's not LOGICAL and ACCURATE enough. What the sentence is saying is... You must have a cigarette. It need to be lighted and then extinguished before entering the building! haha.. the whole class burst out laughing when the tutor tell us this... Its a cute subject! But as he goes on to teach more, i can see its a difficult subject as well!
Eg. You can have a merc car OR 10,000 pounds if you win the 1st prize. In this sense, you either get the car or the $$ but not both. Both cannot exist at the same time.
But
Eg. 2 You need to be over 60 OR have work 10 years to get the pension. In this sense, You can be either or u can be both. Both can exist at the same time!
wha! its so simple yet confusing! You gotta read into so many meanings of one thing! faint. So, anyways... i was joking with the other 3 about how this subject is extremely useful to me and angeline coz there seem to be a communication problem btw both of us.. She always cant understand what im saying.. ( Maybe im not logical enough) and also.. I cant understand her weird theories! Example ( i seem to have alot of examples!!)... for lunch yesterday, I asked if we are having spaghetti... and if we are having that, are we going to anli's house to cook it? and she replied. Its in our house. But i say its not and she says it is... --> point of confusion: When i say cooking it, i mean, really boiling the water and putting them in and cook the sauce and mix them together. But her view is the ready made meals that are mostly spag that are in our fridge and we just need to microwave it. See the confusion! We have many instances of this kinda thing... Sometimes its funny, Sometimes it made me roll my eyes like ONE HUGE ROUND!
so.. how well we do in this module will actually be based on whether me and angeline can actually communcate without any confusion in a day! haha.. okok..
These are definitely more interesting electives modules as compared to the ones in NTU. hah.. I guess if i'm here on exchange as a 1st year student, i might just consider switching over!
Oh! and *wave* PaPa MaMa are you guys reading my blog?! hah.. mum says i have not post enough pictures! Well!! more pictures if i travel more! so.. yeah! thanks for asking me to post more pics! hahaa..
Anyways.. Guess after this scotland trip i gotta wait for like 2 weeks or something before i'll be travelling again.. coz the other 3 are not very interested in netherland and belgium.. haix.. my belgium chocolate.. is there anyone who wanna go with me?! bleah..
This is a long post! okay! blog again on sunday/monday. BYEEEeee
I see you turning back at 8:24 PM
