Took 2 tests today

Had my OMIS test first thing in the morning. There was only 1 question which consists of 25% but I'm not sure if I can get full marks because my answers in part (c) or was it (d) , the question that was about application packages, was kind of not-so-accurate. Anyway, OMIS case study usually depends on how well you can crap but to be able to be a pro at crapping, you need to know the subject inside out to. If not you'll have nothing to crap about.

Just took an English assessment test on Jobstreet. Even though I did better than majority (and I'm not kidding, they had the statistics to prove that.) I don't think I did that well. I think my standard of English is dropping. I guess I need to read more often. I used to read a lot in secondary school but then again, I had loads of time to read then. Now, everyday, assignments, tests, final exams and other studies related stuff will be on my mind. Anyway, no use complaining here, better improve my English before I head of to UK in a few years time.

To end on a high note, Universal Studios will be opening in Sentosa Island, Singapore next year. This means that if I plan to go to Universal Studios in the future, I don't need to go all the way to US so I can save some money. But then again, I won't be saving much as entrance tickets to amusement (or is it theme? what's the difference between amusement park and theme park anyway) park is not cheap. Haiz.

Need some music to forget about these never ending worries and stress from my mind,

Meeting role play over

Had meeting role-play for English today. Made a few mistakes but oh well, no one noticed, not even my own group members and my classmates said that my expression was very good, that I make a good actress. My role is a marketing manager from hell, she tries to look down on other people, and won't take any responsibilities for her own mistakes. The kind of colleague or boss from hell. I had to be angry and fierce in one of the parts and I think managed to not only look scary but sound scary as well. I hope I did Lee Hom justice at the part where I had to convinced them that Lee Hom would make a better brand ambassador over Lam Fung.

So I guess if I can find a job as an accountant, I should try acting, who knows I might be the next Datuk Michelle Yeoh. (oh, dream on)

The song that keeps playing in my head right now is Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson. I know it sounds a bit like Halo by Beyonce but I can relate to the lyrics in this song and the music suits this song. Watch it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ4fkyX_Fs0

I think the song is about being together with someone where you know that the both of you aren't meant to be together and letting go of that person so that he/she could be happy. I think we all face situations like this once in a while, don't we?

Got to wake up early tomorrow,

Completed the Twilight Saga

Finished reading the last book, Breaking Dawn last night. Happy ending. Somehow, I don't want it to end. There were still some things which I think Stephanie Meyer wants us, the readers, to imagine ourselves. Like not that Bella doesn't age, what will Charlie's reaction be? Or Renesmee when she grows up, what will she be like? What about the Volturi? How long will they rule? etc. etc.

Overall, I find the first book, Twilight the best, followed by the 4th book, Breaking Dawn. Something seems missing from New Moon, I can't put my finger on it however, I find it emotional. Eclipse was OK.

I know most people like Edward but I prefer Carlisle.

Can't wait to watch New Moon at the end of the year. Watch the trailer on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYBF3HKzrmE

Going to read some of my friends' blog and then continue calculating financial ratios for Finance assignment.

Happy Halloween, have fun!

Nokia N97 mini

I saw the advertisement for Nokia N97 mini on my blog and decided to click on it to check it out. The only thing I could not find is the price which is the most important factor for me when it comes to not only buying a phone but to everything and anything.

One thing I like the Nokia N97 mini is that it has everything I want in a phone and then some. It is cool, isn't it? I would prefer a smaller phone compared to a bigger phone because firstly, I'm a woman. I don't find it womanly carrying around a big phone. Furthermore, I don't like oversized things like oversized bags, oversized wallets however, I prefer oversized sunglasses, better sun protection.

Ok, enough talk about something I can't afford right now. To check out the Nokia N97 mini visit: http://www.nokia.com.my/find-products/all-phones/nokia-n97-mini. How I wish I have an oversized bank account.

Got to go back to analyzing financial reports for my finance assignment.

I'm never gonna do this

After reading Beyond Ugly by Constance Briscoe, I'm never going to do cosmetic surgery, ever. Unless I'm involve in an accident or something which requires me to have one.

Her detailed description of the surgery is so, well, makes me want to say "yuck!". And yes, it sounds painful. I have also read articles in magazines in the past on cosmetic surgery gone wrong, and the patient had to suffer blood infection, which kills.

The conclusion is, cosmetic surgery to me is costly and risky.

Never going under the knife

Do I really look so young?

I was walking out of the LRT station when one of those salespeople approach me, she ask me if I was in Form 4 or 5. I told her neither, I'm in college. She didn't believe me and said that I'm cute. I really don't like people mistaking me for looking younger than my real age, not at this age. But there's nothing I can do about it, all those creams and what not sold in the market are for anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, anything that can make us look younger. There's nothing to makes us look older. At least, I haven't come across any yet.

I do want to look older at this age, look mature. That's why I put on make-up sometimes, so I don't look so much like a teen when I'm not. Maybe there are good things about looking young. I don't need to worry so much about looking old, at least no one ever mistaken me for looking like I'm twice my real age. And other reasons like being the one who is being look after not the one who has to look after someone.

OK, back to the salesperson in the LRT, actually she wants to sell me a product which cost around RM15 or RM35, depending on which product. So I told her that I didn't bring any money to college because I only plan to attend classes and go straight home, not planning to spend any money. So I don't have a single cent with me. It's kind of true, I have gone to college without any money before, usually if I only have classes in the morning and will have my lunch at home.

Speaking of looking after, it reminds me of the song by The Fray "Look After You". (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iYOOuJLuaY)

Will you look after me?

Horrible result

I took this Cyber Crimes Quiz on Discovery Tech which is part of Discovery Channel online.

Guess what my results was?

I got only 2 out of 10 correct. Here's what the summary of my result says:

0-3: Horrible
Do you even own a computer? You should DEFINITELY put your credit card on ice, and then click on the "Take this Quiz Again" link below.

Uh-oh, I guess this means that I need to start reading news on cyber crime. Ignorance is not a bliss in this case, look where it got me. And yes, I'm not going to do buy anything online until my result on the Cyber Crimes quiz improves.
