Rediscovering...

Watching a movie alone is now no longer as fun as it's used to be...
I wonder if it's the movie that's not enjoyable, or is it just the company...
She was good company for the Chronicles of Narnia...
Whereas for Harry Potter, watching it all alone was not as fun as before...
Well, sort of miss Her during the show... I guess, nowadays, i would definitely prefer watching a show with Her than watching it alone... That, I am sure...

Anyway...

Back to Harry Potter...
I seriously think this is the worst of the 4 installments... Though, it's still quite enjoyable as compared to the average movies out there... But my expectations of the H.P. Series had been quite high ever since watching the mivies and reading the books... This current installment simply does not live up to its usual high standards...
Dun even like Dumbledore as he just doesn't seems like the one in the book... Anyway...
I caught H.P. on the very final day of its screening... And it left me sort of disappointed with the fare served...

Post Mortem

2005/2006 Sem 1 Examination for ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES 3

EC3304 ECONOMETRICS II
B+

EC3332 MONEY AND BANKING I
A

EC3351 PUBLIC FINANCE
A-

SC2216 EMOTIONS AND SOCIAL LIFE
B+

SW1101E
INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL WORK
A-

CAP: 4.3

It's exceptionally good, that's all i can say..., though i would have expected an A for Public FInance, and an A- for econometrics 2. I guess it just sort of balanced it out, with the SC n SW modules scoring unexpectedly good. Luck played a big part, i have to admit.. I thought this sem was definitely screwed, especially the SW n SC modules together with Money and Banking. Money and Banking was one module that i didn't even do tutorials and didn't even start revising till 3/4 way into the course... Luck indeed played a big big part...

Am i doing alright?

Hahaha... Everything was alright... It's me as usual :)

Stay Tuned

Back to the tradition of posting an entry before the release of the results tomorrow...
Surprisingly, i am quite relaxed about tomorrow as compared to the previous experiences...
Deep inside me, i knew that i've not been exactly up to scratch this semester. It's proving to be a difficult sem. No doubts, that i've been underestimating some of the modules, especially, Econometrics 2 and Public Finance in particular.

On the positive side, SW1101E and SC2216 was proving much more manageable than expected as compared to the start of the semester. Perhaps, this is the meaning of "You lose some, but u might win some too" Excited as usual... And by my standards...
4 is still the magical number...

Keeping my fingers crossed...
Stay Tuned for the post mortem... for all those interested

“你为什么要当医生？”

“你为什么要当医生？”
1。 “因为我父亲也是个医生。。。。”
2。 “因为小时候， 母亲病了， 是医生细心的照料。 她才康复。”

想到在<<白色巨塔>>的这一幕时， 我的心就不停的在问自己。。。
人道底是不是往往都无从选择。 即使选择了自己喜爱与尊敬的行业， 却往往在茫茫无际的追逐中， 忘了原本的宗旨与精神。

为何选择当个医生呢？原因可以很多， 但最基本的条件不是想要尽心尽力去挽回每一条生命吗？
有一句话说的很对：医院是诊救病患的地方， 不是权力斗争的地方。
假设照常理来说，学校可是学习， 交流的学府。 但又有真正几个人能做到这点呢？那么的潇洒与与世隔离的作法， 至少， 我就不能办到这一点。 虽是说能尽心的去追求自己想主修的经济， 本应开心， 而该不顾一切的去享受这过程。 但又有多少人能做的到这点呢？
最后， 结果还是非常重要。因为一切， 在怎么样，都有它的失与得。

我虽然现在不能这般的潇洒与洒脱， 但我必须不断的提醒自己 ，不管做什么都好， 最重要的一定要本着最基本， 最原先的信念， 去完成个自最初应该所办演的角色与使命。

“你喜欢读经济吗？”

想必这问题一点都不难回答， 但是能不管在什么样的情况， 无时无克的作到这点的话。。。
可能就须令当别论了。。。。

Personality test? haha... Go try it out...

Get to know yourself better
http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education: ]
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Winning the Battle, But Lost the War!

This sounds simple...
Thanks to Darryl who called me just now... in rivervale mall when i was with my mum..

M: "So what's darryl doing in NUS?"
X: "Oh...He's majoring in Media."
M: "Is there a future in it? The industry seems quite small... Think's the pay not that good as well"
X:" Well.. Interest is more important."

That's it... This just set the stage for another heated discussion between interest and future... Say that i am still very idealistic or whatever... I really see no point in prursuing what you dun like for your so called future... This will definitely lead to regrets in the future...
Yah... Regrets in ur supposedly so called "Bright" Future huh?

That said..
I Might had been on trrack for a good honours degree... But that only is a battle won...
If ever my future is not up to whoever's expectations.. Then i might had jus won the battle but lost the whole bloody war...
I am not allowing that to happen.... I mustn't lose this war.. I mustn't let my mum have the chance for blasting me that i've made the wrong choice...
Even though... No matter how my Future looks like....

I HAVE NOT MADE THE WRONG CHOICE!

That jus sums up how determined i am ;), in proving her wrong!
