Finally everything's over...almost. Well at least exams are. First and last papers were the best, middle 2 were totally crap. Still thinking if I should pack my accounting book back, not that I'll touch the book. Maybe I shouldnt, waste luggage space only. The book weighs at least 5kg, ok I am exaggerating, but it's heavy. Argh, stupid accounting. Havent had much time to isolate myself from ppl since exams ended. Very packed programs. Had the privilege to attend Cheng Long and Sue Ann's wedding. The bride is really the prettiest on her wedding day. Thanksgiving at OCF tonight. All dressed up again. 2 days in a row. Social in the afternoon tml and Peiling's hsewarming in the evening. Flying back on Sun. This yr passed so quickly. It felt as if I just came 2 wks ago. This post is not going to make sense if I continue typing more, time to slp. =)

Argh, it's taking up too much space in my brain! Many times I feel like giving up.
.
I cant slp. Wasting time here. Dont dare to try any more qns, afraid the more I try, the more I find I dont know how to do the qns. This is called living in denial.
Ok will edit later on to see how ADM paper goes, if I am still in the mood to do so after the subject I fear most. Cant wait for 4.15 tml, that's when I can throw everything to do with acc. away. I really dont want to do it again next yr, just let me pass!! Headache.

Update on the paper. It was a bad bad bad paper. The worst I ever had so far in my life. Was so scared. It didnt help after seeing the paper. Even more nervous after that. Didnt really finish it, not enough time. Saw coursemates straight after paper, we were all like "die". Started complaining how some topics we studied so hard for didnt come up. Felt really crap after the paper. Only gd thing is that the few of my coursemates also found it tough, but not so sure abt rest of cohort. They are smart ppl, but still secretly hoping everyone will do badly and they will moderate the marks. Please let everyone do badly so I can pass. Sigh, half preparing myself for summer course. I dont want to come back for it!

Had first paper yest. It was an easy paper if studied for it.Will easily get full marks if memorised the all the lect. notes. There were only 11 qns and the qns were like "What's the difference between brand recognition and brand recall." 4 marks. The last one scared me coz it was worthed 25 marks and the qn was "Name five advertising strategies and list 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of each." I was quite stunned as all the other 10 qns were between 4-10 marks. But logically thinking, it's all 1 mark for each pt. I cant believed I managed to crap 4 pages for the 25 marks one. It wasnt really mentioned in lect notes, so I was seriously crapping my way thru. I think my skills are not too bad huh, heh. Another thing that I really cant understand was how did some ppl manage to crap even more. They used 2 booklets. I didnt even finish my 1st booklet. I peeped at the girl sitting in front of me, who also used 2 booklets, thinking she must have humongous handwriting. But of coz it was normal and she didnt leave a line. She must had written down everything from the lect notes. It's crazy. Stressed me out. I was so angry with myself for writing the wrong definition for one of the qns. They asked for advantages and disadvantages of co-branding, I answered for brand extension!! So silly of me, that caused me 6 marks. Kept thinking abt it the whole night. Stupid.
Anyway it's a gd thing I started with an easy paper, boosted my morale. But at the same time, I kept thinking I am done with exams. Starting to lose motivation. I cant lose it so fast, exams' dragging for another 2 wks. Ok after this evening's ADM revision session, I will definitely get motivation back coz I got a feeling I will be totally lost during the session. Ok back to doing the silly accounting qns..argh!
