Song of the week+ Moral from 1st paper

I am back peeps! I just arrived from my first paper, Management Principles. Honestly, it was such a drama earlier today. Me and Hasan arrived at the venue which is near Liverpool Street 10 minutes before the exam started, and instead of heading to the ground floor, I went to the first floor instead. I didn't really know why, but as soon as I got up there I immediately sat in my assigned number seat. Then as the invigilators said we can start, I was so shocked to see that the question paper on my table was MSIN1001 instead of MSIN6001! As it turned out, the exam for my module was actually being held downstairs instead!

So the moral of the story: Always check that you're sitting for the right module even though it is in the same hall, you never know! 

I did feel a bit panicked at first, but as I sat down in my this time correct seat, I managed to calm myself down, thank Allah. Other than that piece of drama, everything else was alright I guess. The questions were doable, if I could say so. I recalled I wrote down about the management of Malaysia's Central Bank, the opposition of the building of the Carlsberg factory in Shah Alam, the unpreparedness of Japan's Tepco during the Fukushima incident and also something about Google's work culture. It sure was tiring, having to do 4 essays in three hours, but luckily there is no data this time, unlike A2. Haha.

I have a couple more papers to go this week, tomorrow is Math part 1.
Before I sign off, here you go, the song of the week!


I leave the rest to you.......

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h

Leaders?!

As I said yesterday, I had my oral exam earlier today. Please don't even bother asking me how it went. As always, things didn't go as I had planned it to. I mean, of all things, I didn't expect myself to stumble upon plural conjugations as well as the basic command words such as 'what' and 'how'. Lucky for me it went by pretty quickly that it ended before I even realized it. Well at least I got hold of a decent conversation with Luay Hasan, the other Arabic lecturer before my exam started since I got there earlier than expected. The rest of my afternoon was spent on biting away my Subway while watching a new episode of The Apprentice UK followed by another show about the preparation Venice undergo through last year when the Pope came to visit, then just before the sun sets for the day I managed to finish one more documentary about Britain's monarchy, highlighting the era of its Queens. As the night falls, I realized that I had not only wasted my time w

What's in my typical bag to uni?

Image
  Here are the things that I usually carry with me every day to uni: MacBook Air 11" (credits to Lin, a lady in Kelana Jaya who sold her Air to me last summer. This laptop is strictly for work purposes as it's fitted with only 64Gb of flash drive) a couple of cables and a USB adapter- in case my i5 runs out of juice, but that rarely happens USB drive big enough to load my whole work folder- just in case I needed work done in places where WIFI is off limits lots of A4 papers- blank papers work best for me since I mostly work with diagrams and equations. black, blue and red pens, one of each drinking water (I really can't leave the house without one these days) beanie- in case of light rain along the way. gloves (my hands tend to get cold easily) As you can already see, my bag's content is pretty basic. I don't really carry too much with me when I'm working since I found it counter-productive. *This segment is inspired by the 'What's in Yo
