Grades for Sem 1.2

3 cheers to me!

Received my Semester 1.2 results today. Holy crow!

Shockingly, I got B+ for Marketing. Woah, what was that? I was still praying, "Not C".

B for OB and Accounting 2. What can I say? I deserved that grade, no more, no less. My accounting skills are atrocious, not to mention, I've been so careless. As for OB, there's nothing much to say.

A for Business Statistics and MacroEconomics. I'm happy and if I get anything less, I might just go and bang my head on the wall. Both are my "pet" subjects and I expect myself to do well in them.

Z for French! Now, that's something to cheer about! I'm really, really pleased with it. I know I'm going to get A, but a distinction, never. I dreamt about it but didn't have much confidence that I will get it.

My GPA for Semester 1.2 is 3.56. Oh well, a little far off from 3.7 in Semester 1.1. Overall, I'm happy and nearly screamed when I saw the grades. That's how glad I am.

PS: Taking French was the best thing that happened to me. I love the language and in return, give me a good grade.

OB end-semester exam

Done with OB.

It was a killer. So now, OB stands for Obviously Bu******.

I can't say I never tried my best, neither can I say I tried my best. Obviously I can study it better or concentrate better, but at least I sort of did my best.

I forgot some things here and there. The MCQs were so difficult. I'm always left with 2 choices, both seemed right, it's just which one is more correct than the other. Argh...

I totally forgot what is the strategies to solve conflict and 3 situational factors that affect a leader's behaviour. The latter which I did not study at all.

Ah well, it's gone. I won't have to touch OB again. I was so angry that I have a mind to tear the paper. The best thing is, I won't have to see my answers. At least, there is some consolation to this mess.

Goodbye OB, we ended at a sour note. *There goes my chance of acquiring an A. I hope my B/B+ is still intact.*

Business Statistics tomorrow. It should be well. But I dare not think positive, or else it will be jinxed.

BA2 and Marketing, another killer. Oh joy...

Updates

Many things to update.

Today is officially the last day of school. Having mixed feelings. Feeling quite reluctant and happy at the same time. Holidays...not so much.
Got back my Business Accounting 2 and Business Statistics coursework grades. A B+ and A respectively.

Click here and you'll see the Hall of Fame to the Twilight Riddle. *Refer to the above picture. That's just a print screen. As such, only those names who starts with A is captured. For full details, click the link*

I'm officially a Twilight Riddler. 3rd in line in alphabetical order. Adrielle Soong.

I'm also granted eternal bragging rights. With thanks to helpful strangers, of course! Not to mention, my wits, books, google/yahoo, and websites.
I'm thrilled at this, it's been quite some time since I got featured or done anything like this.
On a side note, I love the new banner! It's so beautifully done and the topaz eyes are just amazing. Bella's eyes looks more greenish than brown though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next week is the start of study week. Going to really sit down and absorb information like a sponge. So many things to study and yet not enough time.
Time is always not on my side.
I've got to work hard. My expectations can't be considered that high. I know where my limits are and know enough not too push myself too hard. But I can't help to feel left behind sometimes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've things planned out for the upcoming holidays. I want to do the things that I like. There are 2 books sitting on my shelves, waiting to be read.
I'm planning to sweep the library shelves for books. Which reminds me, I am going to reserve those books that I want.
I want to make bead accessories. Recently, I read some magazines that ignite the passion to weave beads once again. Seeing those shiny, cute, little beads and crystals make my day.
Regardless, I'm expecting a vacation to either nearly countries or in Singapore itself. Let's just say it's sixth sense. Maybe there won't be one, I'm fine with that.
There's a delicate matter I don't want to say. Nothing is fixed, I don't think Alice will even "see" it, seeing that no decision is confirmed. We'll see...
Till next time~

Ramblings

Had Business Statistics test today. It was OK, in general. I stumbled over a question and thought of the answer for a long time before answering.

The teacher said I did one part wrongly though. Really stupid and careless mistake. Sigh...

Yes, this week is finally over! Passed up our MacroEcons project. It's very beautiful. Feeling more relaxed although there's marketing project left.

Aside from tomorrow's Business Accounting make-up lecture, the weekend looks to be great. I'm wishing this Chinese New Year to be wonderful.

But for whatever reasons, I'm feeling rather depressed. Mood swings or just plain depression? It's like I'm not part of the festive joy at all. Always looking from the outside.

Later I'm going to Far East Flora to "see" and buy flowers.

I saw some pretty awesome taglines for New Moon on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/taglines

Personally, I like the one 'Forbidden to Remember; Terrified to Forget' and 'When you can’t be with the one you love, will you stay with the one who loves you?' I also like the one 'The Cullens are not the only family with a secret'. Hint hint. Very mysterious and dark. Lovely.

The others are great too. What wonderful ideas to work on my next series of banners.

'Somewhere the clock is ticking' I can just feel the anticipation and tension. Ticking to the release of New Moon movie, time is wasting away, time washes away as you fight for the one you love. Very angst: the theme for New Moon.

Well well, I need time. I want to work on the banners.

Outing with friends and mid-semester marks

Went out with 4s3 friends yesterday. Met at Yo Chu Kang MRT station and went to Sakura buffet first. But, since the buffet closes at 3pm, and some guys were still not there, we changed location.

Walked all the way to Ang Mo Kio, my feet were aching really badly. Went to Suki Sushi, however, there was no buffet available because it was a public holiday. Walked to Ang Mo Kio hub to try Ichiban Sushi, but also no buffet available.

Headed down to New York New York in the end. Wow, the food there is quite expensive. Shared a seafood platter with my other two girl friends. Didn't finished it though.

Chatted about our school lives and such. Went to Arcade, we didn't play though.

Although it was just us 3 girls, with the guys, it was still great. We hardly get to see each other after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Got back my mid-semester results today. Got 45/50 for Business Statistics, 34/45 for Business Accounting 2 and 22.5/30 for Organisation Behaviour.

Quite happy for my OB marks. So many things to memorise but still make it.

I should be content with my marks for Business Accounting 2 but I can't help feeling a little disappointed too. My aim is to get at least 70% for the paper. I got 68%. I've no idea why I reject BA from the moment I see it. It can't be the numbers, can it? Regardless, I don't have that high expectations for BA2.

Business Statistics marks cheered me up. Got to keep it there. It's my hope, together with MacroEcons.

Next week, we will be getting back Marketing and MacroEcons papers. I'm worry for the both of them, especially Marketing.
