Semester 1 2009 passed by in a flash, like literally. It was so freaking fast that we (yusheng and me) did not even do the usual count-down-to-singapore routine. Workload isn't exactly the heaviest this semester, in fact, it was pretty much less compared to the semester 2 2008 (the worst semester ever). It's gonna be a different semester 2 without Yusheng. Certainly not as fun without him around. His presence will certainly be missed without doubt.

Exams were pretty manageable this time. I had quite a lot of time on hand to study for the papers but complacency came and I happily accepted it. Hopefully the audit paper will turn out fine for everyone, as it's the paper that was most unexpectedly tough.

Post exams activities were fun as usual, although it was a little rushed and insufficient I thought. The highlights were ktv, transformers 2, thai food @ thai express, seafood @ fish market and shabu shabu. During the last day, we cleaned up the house till around 430am and bathed and napped till 530, afterwhich we proceeded to the airport to pick up yusheng's family. My flight was 1130am and I had like 1/2 hr of sleep, not including the lack of sleep over the exam period I was like a walking zombie in kingsford airport. Mom told me to wear a mask in the airport and aboard the plane at all times. I wanted to, but the people around me did not wear any at all. Alas I was too paiseh to wear one too. Was surprised and overjoyed when I realised the person sitting next to me was ex-footballer Abaas Saad. What a legend he was, and a pretty chatty and friendly guy too.

By the time I knew it, I am back in Singapore again, into the arms of my family and friends.

F* pissed off. Cousin Amer's bicycle was stolen by some f* yesterday. Even when the bike is chained, they managed to saw it off or something. And you might think staying in a condo is safe cos of all the guard and security in place etc. Feel very bad and responsible for this case of theft. Amer's bike should be taken care of and kept safely in the first place, and this had to happen.

F* BULLSHIT I would say. This is not the first time things have gone missing at my estate. I lost bicycle seats before, my nike sneakers were stolen, so were my havianas flip flops. What the fuck are these security guards doing? We pay them to lift up the car barriers and to doze off and sleep during night shifts? Might as well put a scarecrow there?

Nvm about the previous items that I've lost, but this time round it's a freaking whole bike. The first thing I'm gonna do when I touch down in sg, go straight to the management and make sure they have a good explanation of how 'adequate' is the present security management, and which security company is being employed so I can bring the issue up to relevant authorities.

Not too sure if the bike has its own unique identity number, but this is the pic of the bike being stolen.I strongly believe in karma. This bunch of thieves, they are doomed. Good luck to them.
*Moderated expletives. Must learn to refrain from them.

Just a quick update...

Just had the worst diarrhea in my life. Think I lao sai-ed around 10 times on the first day. Felt like hell really. Spent 2 days bedridden, there goes my revision time. Luckily towards the end of the second day I'm able to resume some normal daily activities. Suay to get diarrhea, lucky to recover within 2 days.

Been spending my time camping and revising for the final exams at home. It wasn't that productive afterall and I think the spaced-out timetable attributed to my lack of motivation and ever present complacent spirit. First paper's this coming Friday, and the last being on the 23rd of June. Will be flying back home on the 25th of June, will this be the last break of my university life?

Even though I won't be working during the short 3 week winter break, there's plenty of tasks waiting to be completed. Have to really sort out all these tasks and get them settled asap. I'm nearing my graduation date and it is definitely time to start planning what I really should do.

The next update should be after my LAST accounting paper in my university life. Woohoo. Good luck to everyone for their exams. :)
