They showed Melbourne on TV again !!!

Koko Black, Pie in the Sky, Puffing Billy, Ballarat, Alpaca Farm, Miss Marple's, Dandenongs...

Sigh.

I MISS IT SO MUCH !!!

I HATE CFA. Well not really. I do want to pass.

One week to go..

|

I had a terrible dream. I was at McDonald's and they refused to sell me ice-cream.....

But at least this week I am falling asleep. Last week I had a really hard time to get to sleep. Nowadays I can sleep but have a few dreams each night, so by the time I wake up, I am quite tired ! And then the dreams are of all kinds la..

How to study like that ?

All the same, last night I was pretty motivated for my exam though, which is a good thing. Though it remains to be seen whether it will carry on today.

I really need to push up the results from sixties to seventies and hopefully eighties.. Arghh.

Stress.......

FREAKING ACCOUNTING I HATE YOU !

And it does not help that it is freaking hot here as well !! FREAK !

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Now I realised where I was on April 28.

Or near to.

I think it was facebook week and that is why I think I missed out on a couple of important things !

Now that I have revisited it, OMG. OMG OMG OMG OMG.

But then again..oh well...so what ? Still my friend. A great friend and a great person !

In fact you would be a great friend even if you were purple in colour and had no money. :)

And ..as for my answers to questions these afternoon :

Yes I believe in love at first sight but
No I do not believe that online dating is the way to go.

There.

CFA OMG OMG.

Yea anyway. I FEEL like I know more although my results have yet to reflect that. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I really need to get above 80%.

Come on KW ! Hehe.

And all the rest of you study hard too....

Sunday - May 20. A day of reckoning. Tomorrow the reconnaisance will begin. We go over the top at 0900 hours. Though hardly a top secret mission, many pretend that it is not happening, trying to boost up confidence among the ranks. With only 14 days to the deadline, this last push is vital for the force. The defining moments are now. With time running out fast, the troops need to give their all, hoping that their sacrifice will be rewarded with freedom and safety for their loved ones. Random items remind the troops of their home. A letter, read and reread a thousand times. A teddy bear, given by a 2 year old son, to protect his father. A jar of Nutella. (Yum...)

The anxiety is shown on every grime lined face. Boots are polished over and over. Weapons are checked and rechecked. It could be the last time that these mundane tasks are ever repeated. Jokes about the next day's mission are met with nervous laughter. The rank smell of the trenches makes eating almost unbearable.

But this is war.

And it is in war that one knows what it feels like. To face death. For glory and honour.

The time they have left. Is 2 weeks. The beginning of the end. Is tomorrow.

........

OMG 2 weeks to go..!! I really need to study. But I think the absorbance rate of my brain has gone down. Marginal absorbance !!

HELP !!

Sometimes it really feels as if there are certain things in the world that a soul must abide by because even if you take the slightest step out of the natural order of the universe, chaos will ensue. (Am not really sure what that means, though sounded very impressive when was heard over the radio).

Went to the eye doctor early today, as was very overdue for a checkup. In fact, checkup was due almost 5 months ago, but somehow, with all that is happening in my life, I suppose one should be forgiven for these matters. After all, how can one prioritise between one's eyes wellbeing and the prospect of a Krispy Kreme doughnut at work ?? (was a waste of time really, as the one time there were KKs at work, felt self ballooning up inside like a whale and therefore graciously allowed others to eat it all up!).

So at this eye doctor's place, lots of things happened with many metal instruments and different coloured lights.

And then my doctor asked me if I would like to get married....

It was at this point that I looked outside just to check if there were pink pigs flying around eating cotton candy made of beef.

And then realised that he meant married to someone's daughter that he knows, and not himself (that would be improper as EVERYONE knows that doctors are not supposed to get involved with their patients !!). But this was after asking my age (a very young 22) and how was my job (only 16 months so far) and my availability (I told him I was focusing on my career..).

And then after a very polite but curt (that will show him !!) goodbye and thank you, walked out of the shop shoulders back, head held high in a show of indignance..

And sagged as soon as I was out of sight.

Have realised that am unmarried (duh), unprofessional (freaking bloody CFA), technically unemployed (paid but not going to work...), un-rich (had to pay for new lenses), and unfed (only had cornflakes for breakfast so far).

Therefore giving me the right to be looked upon as love pariah which can be freely traded around until someone wants me to marry them. Walking home...was very depressed I could tell you, especially when faced with a giant KFC sign that only served to remind me that Wicked Wings have increased in price. Felt like everything in the world was going wrong, in manner of pink jellyfish floating in the skies while jungle people roamed the city on elephants (shudder). Could also almost imagine everyone else in the shops were starting to gather around behind me and break out in song as soon as I was out of sight in manner of hideous musical, where I had to be married off but no one would have me.

Have managed to get home to mope in the shower...........

|

My life is wasting away........

I wake up. Study. Watch Friends. Study. Lunch. Sleep. Study. Friends. Study. Dinner. Study. Friends. Sleep. And then it all begins again.

Seriously.........

I am alright with most of the topics but I just freaking hate the FSA !

Who freaking cares about temporal method or current method and/or loads of other crap !

Arghhh...

3 weeks to go.

I might go mad before it is all over.

3 weeks. Just 3 weeks.

OMG.

I got a double blow this week, with bad scores in both AFL and EPL. Damn it. The AFL was one of those weeks that I should have won, and could be what makes me lose the finals.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

Update : craving complex carbohydrates, chocolate fondue, steak, bowling, gym and beef pie.

Had a REALLY good time last night at Station 1 cafe.

A high school reunion with about 20 people. Fun. Though the music was a bit loud....

But was great seeing people I had little idea still existed....

Everyone is older now (duh) and somehow, most seemed more mature.

Time does pass.

And dang it, I have loads more to study...................

|

It has begun.

By 'It' I mean the all out war on my CFA exam. I have 3 weeks to understand and memorize everything. I really want to pass as my manager is sponsoring my exam and I want to make him happy.

And myself happy of course. And the fact that to resit the exam I would have to wait one whole year, is also a very strong incentive.

And of course, it will spoil all of my carefully laid out future plans. It would certainly be a blip.

At the same time, I am also declaring war on calories (again!).

So you know, it will be exciting times !!!!

Life would be like in uni all over again. Studying, and also lots of rewatching of old serials, Friends, SATC.... Lots of mooching for snacks... only of course this time, I would have to opt for fruits and fat free rice cakes....eww.

WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR

I love Music and Lyrics the movie.

Not because it is a fantastic movie. But the idea of it....

All I want to do is find a way back into love.............

Found this somewhere and it is DAMNED hilarious.


I- Thou Shalt Nap And God gave unto Student a great gift, the gift of napping. God said to him, You shall spend half your day napping. You shall nap in class, in your room and in your friend's room. And God said, if you don't nap, you will not be able to stay up all night drinking. And Student said, Nap I shall, and it was good.

II- Thou Shalt Get Sick All the Time Now God said to Student, you must be sick all of the time. And student said why. And God said unto him, you shall share drinks, stay up too late, drink too much and make out with people you don't know. Therefore, God said, you shall be sick all year round. But God said, blessed are the sick for they have partied the hardest. And it was good.

III- Thou Shalt Write Witty Away Messages Student asked, but God, how will I show everyone that I am funny? And God said unto him, thou shall write witty away messages. God said to student, you shall never just say you are in the shower, you shall say you are getting wet and wild in the shower. You shall never say you are at class, you shall say you are sleeping in class. God said, if you do not write witty away messages, I shall smite you. Blessed are the funny, for they will get many girls to be their friends but never hook up with them. And it was good.

IV- Thou Shalt Wear a Hoodie And then Student asked God, God how do I look like a college kid. And God said unto student, you must wear a hoodie, for it is a useful garment. And you shall never wash it either. Student asked God, "What kind of Hoodie should it be?" And God said, "You shall own many of varying colors and creeds." And Student was pleased and God was pleased.

V- Thou Shalt Shit a Lot And Student asked of his bathroom habit and God told him, Student, you shall eat in the Cafeteria and you shall shit a lot. And it will not be good shit, it will be the shit of the devil for your ass shall burn for hours. Your school shall put laxatives in their food and you shall feel their pain. And Student began to weep, and God said unto him, Student, fear not the shit, for all your fellow students will be experiencing the same. And Student dried his eyes and thanked God and God told him to use wet naps to ease the pain.

VI- Thou Shalt Eat EasyMac Student asked unto God if there was any alternatives to the cafeteria, and God said to him, you shall eat a lot of EasyMac. It is easy to make and you don't need milk or a stove. And student said microwaves were forbidden by the RA. And God said to him, you shall hide the microwave under your bed with a towel on top. And Student asked, what if it is discovered. And God told him to stop being such a pussy, and it was good.

VII- Thou Shalt Hook Up Student then asked of sex. And God said, Student, you shall hook up and be happy. You shall go home with random people every weekend and forget about them the next day. You shall see them at class and be awkward amongst their company. You shall exchange saliva at bars and parties and it will be good. And Student became gleeful and God told Student to wrap it up because He knows where she has been, but Student does not.

VIII- Thou Shalt Join a Club and Never Go to Meetings Student inquired of his spare time and God reminded him that he should be napping. But Student said he wanted to do other things. So God said unto him, you shall join a club at the beginning of the semester, but then never go to meetings. And Student asked why he should not go to meetings, and God told him, because the glee club is gay. And Student understood His wisdom.

IX- Thou Shalt Wake Up Confused God said to Student, there will come many a day when you shall wake up in the bed of another and not know where you are. You will not remember what you did last night and you shall be confused. You will see that you have nipple rings and a tattoo now and are covered in Sharpie. And Student was disturbed by this, but God said, you shall tell great stories about it to your friends someday. And Student understood and God took a sip of a beer. And God gave Student the final Commandment

X- Thou Shalt Gain Weight And Student wished to hear the final commandment and God said he would not like it. But Student insisted, so God said unto him, you shall gain weight. However, God said, you will not buy new clothes, so you will wear sweat pants a lot. God said, Student, you will watch a lot of TV and become fat to which Student wept profusely. But God comforted Student saying, you will still get ass even if you cannot tie your shoes anymore. Student felt better and God pointed to Student's chest saying, those will soon be bitch tits. And it was good.

I am so thankful for this last two days - public holidays. They are truly a rare commodity.

I spent these two days studying my money markets stuff as well as got totally immersed in two websites. Facebook and MindValley. I think I am too chicken to leave my job for a startup. Shit. I also think that I am spending way too much time on facebook. Argh.

Had karaoke session with SeeBear who was supposed to be going to Singapore to work but found another job here instead. Good for him, but obviously it was not the farewell session it was supposed to be. Lol.

At the same time, discovered that CCYBear was actually working in Singapore at CSFB as an analyst. Wow. Planning a little meeting up with him when I go over. Now I have 2 analyst friends. Including YvBear at JPMorgan. Not that it means anything. So far.

And OMG...today I managed to get my hair up in mohawk fashion with a fringe. Wow. I can now do it. It totally started out on a whim, and somehow with some ingenuity and hairspray....there was a mohawk ! I like mohawks with long hair better than those with short hair.

Going to be full blast study time in about a week. Sigh. But before that have lots of work to clean up too.

Lalala. Life is not easy.

And I am still chicken about quitting my job for something more adventurous. Like on MindValley.

Bleah.
