Last week of study...

This week will be my last week of study, following by a week of study week then 2 weeks of exams and then holidays!.. Just cant imagine how time flies..

I am supposed to go uni early morning today to get my final exam paper for Sales Management done. But, I was so reluctant to get up from bed. Snooze the alarm from 7.30a.m. till 9.30a.m. Finally I get out from bed. Weather these few days is cool enough for a good sleep.

Imagining the super crowded university lab and library, I think I'd rather stay at home and finish the work. Cant deny the fact that doing in Uni will be faster as there is less distraction, as what I am doing now, blogging. But, going to Uni, I will either have o spend at least half an hour looking for a parking or take the bus. Then, find a computer, which needs me to walk all around the campus. So, better take my sweet time do at home. I'll have until 3p.m. today to finish my work. 11a.m. to 3p.m. : 4 Hours. Should be enough ler...

My tasks for this week will be:

27 October: Sales Management Exam & 1 pc extra credit activity

28-29 October: Market Research final report finalization

30 October: Work

31 October: hand in market research report then Chill!

As for the coming weeks, my schedule will be:

1-9 Nov : Study Week

10 Nov: International Marketing final exam

12 Nov: Quantitative Modelling final exam

17 Nov: Market Research final exam

22 Nov: Flying off to Sydney!

26 Nov: Come back Perth

?? Dec: GOin Back kch...

wow...short time left before all these happens...Would evaluate this semester of mine as consistent and not that tiring...

Last piece of Assignment for the semester

It's my last piece of assignment for the semester. Due next Friday. It's also the assignment where I really have a hard time coordinating with uncoperative group members. Furious when I come to think of it.

Contrasting bad group members with good ones, I do however enjoy very cooperative group members. Very cooperative and committed ones. For my international marketing major assignment, I really had wonderful group members. Though we only met a few times, things are done and we only need to compile it. We meet just to divide jobs and compile the assignment. Group synergy is strong! I like that.

Well, as for the stupid uncooperative group, I purposely finish my QM assignment due this coming Friday just to free up this week to deal with them. An 4 days early completed assignment? My first time too. Gonna hand it in later today when I am going to Uni. As for the un-coperative 'M' group, Worst case, I'll do everything.! I'm prepared for that already. Complaining wont help. Tutor wants the end product, not how we get there. Well, praying for the best.

1 week plus for the whole piece of assignment!. I dont believe I cant do it!..

I'm taking life easy now....No point getting mad because of all these morons.. Just finished Legend of the Demigods yesterday...still got time for drama , so not tat bad though.

Pendrive Dissecting?

Pendrive dissection....

Was a miserable day for me yesterday. I accidentally broke my pendrive into two halves.



It was during Market Research Lab. The CPU was at my leg level with my pendrive sticking out, prone to be knocked when I turn. Its indeed an unsafe condition, suitable for doing UAA. First time I turn and knock it, it wasnt that hard. Still can bend it back. Who knows, the second time I hit it, it was completely bent 60 degrees. Shit, the first thing that came to my mind was my assignment due next Monday and Friday which the only copy I have is inside the Pendrive.!!

Dont dare to pull it out, I quickly open the folder to see if it's still retrievable. Luckily still can retrieve. This is called luckiness after unluckiness. Luckily, if not really pokai this time. Need to redo all the assignment...Luckily..

Been a 'black' week for me this week. Had a hard time finding parking for the whole week. 2 days I spent almost an hour to find a bloody place to park. Its not Kuching. If its Kuching, I'll just park at anywhere. Hahaz.. The week ended with my pen drive being dissected, and disappointment with my group mates...Bloody Hell....sms no reply, tutorial go lab play games and facebook..! WTF!!

Well, luckily I am still blessed after the series of unfortunate events...

Looking forward for a pleasant week ahead...!

First day casual working

Today is my first day of casual working at MacD Bicton.. Shift starts at 8am and I reached there by 7.35 a.m. just to be ready.

My trainer today was Keith. Learnt how to prepare breakfast today. From cooking egg, bacon, sausage and all sorts of meal such as Sausage and Egg, Bacon and Egg and many others. Cant really remember though. Did some lunch meals such as the usual Big Mac, Mc Chicken etc...phew..really lotsa stuffs to remember...put practice will make me remember better ler.

One whole morning of work..makes me feel good today. At least I woke up early and did something useful rather than sleeping till late..Next shift will be on Sunday morning.

Not bad huh? Even went Uni by 4pm to complete one of my assignment. Feel good bout completing stuffs..The only thing that worries me is my last piece of assignment...Don have a good feeling bout it. Whole group of members have done shit..! Totally crap and how am I gonna clean up this mess now?..Let's see tomorrow..Hoping for the best, don wanna retake..!

2 IPhones?

I got 2 Iphones? Wow...I wished I have that too...

Unfortunately, its gonna cost me a fortune to have 2 phones..Which a want, not a need. So, no need.
Undeniable, Apple's service is really good. I found out that the Iphone that I am using is contaminated with 2 spots of dust particle under the screen, which irritates me. So, I just tried my luck ringing Apple carecenter and they provide me with 2 options.

1. Send it back to Optus and Optus will take care of it, but I will be left without phone for 15 days
2. Advance replacement - Apple will post a replacement unit, I send back the current unit when I got the replacement unit. I will have to pay AUD$35 for the postage.

Cool rite? though its the postage that costs, but I get a new phone out of that. Brand new in its casing.

Arrived today at my doorstep after I got back from Uni. However, if I dont post back the current unit and get it to reach them before the 22/10/2008, I will be charged AUD635.45

Expensive huh? But still, the credit goes to Apple for the good service. And discredit for its product for being with defect, while it should be a fine phone.

*This picture is my first shot with wireless flash too!...Hows the lightning?

Araluen Botanic Park - last of the Tulips..

A visit to Araluen botanic park today. It was disappointing cause its main attractions, the tulips are mostly dying off. Guess I went too late and, its the last time I can be going since the place is closing down after this year cause the government is not supporting them. What a waste and a pity for such a nice place to be closing down....

Took some pics, only a few miserable tulips though. The massive ones, I missed it, missed the season.....Well, I cant help it. Weather isnt good past weeks..

Here are some of the pictures...

Perth Royal Show

3 of us: Calvin, Delia and Bank went to Perth Royal show yesterday afternoon. Its the 2nd last day. Something like Kuching Festival, but its scale is much much bigger. Entrance alone costs me AUD$24. Food and rides, not to mention it. But, lotsa stuffs inside the show. Booths are of every kind.

Showbags is something not to missed according to those who went. Almost everyone who went there carries a showbag. Its a combination of stuffs such as chocolates, magazines and many more..Depends on what stall you visit. Doesnt interest me though..So I didnt get any.

The waited moment by everyone who visited the show is the fireworks display at 9.00p.m. Its spectecular..! I didnt brought my tripod with me to Perth, so pictures are shot with freehand. Some are kinda blurry... AND....HIGH NOISE!!..No tripod, so will have to use higher ISO to balance out slow shutter speed...haiz...else the shots will looks nicer ..

As for the rest, pictures speaks the best..
