Edit: I forgot to put a Title for this post -.-

These few days didn't really see any interesting things happening around me.

Monday saw the last set of tutorials for this semester end. Halfway through the day came some news that the Stats quiz grades were recorded wrongly (drastically for some people I heard). I felt indifferent to the news (mostly coz I knew my futile attempt would warrant me that sort of grade). Nevertheless, I went to check again. Still a "D". Heh. Somehow I don't feel much about the Cs and Ds that I am getting. Maybe coz I had gotten too many of them since semester 1 in uni, or say, all the way back to JC. Haha and congrats to those who got their deserving higher grades back and condolences for those who got their.. erm deserving lower grades too :/ I am just glad mine didn't turn to E. :)

Econs quiz was much better though, guess it is due to the fact that its a really simple 10 MCQs' quiz.

Tuesday was a mugging day. But I didnt do much mugging as I would have liked.

Wednesday, which is today, went to school for the last elective lecture. Not bad, finished 1 Accounting past paper. But took a lot of time doing it. And lots of referring :/

Ate at the new canteen area beside Canteen A today. The crowd is much lesser already, which is good I guess. No more squeezing around while eating at Can A again :) I didn't see Sakae though... Did I miss it? Or it is still under construction?

Hmm...

Bad Weekend of Tutorial Catching Up

This weekend is mainly learning what I should have learnt for the past few weeks for Stats. Doing the tutorials I missed as well. Anyway, I flunk my Stats Quiz 2. Thus the added effort is called for. Still, I am not really confident for regression and some of the later parts of the module. Hopefully I'll know them in due time. Well, I still skipped Accounting Tutorial 12 in the end, less Question 4.

For that, I missed the Qing Ming Festival. Felt bad coz I think it is quite important to go to sao mu, and I think I had never went to before. Or maybe once. I forgot.

One interesting thing happened though, on my way home on a cab today, the taxi driver was super chatty. Talked non-stop throughout the entire journey. About how money is hard to earn, helping people, and eventually going into his main topic of Buddhism. This is one of the very few times when a Buddhist tried to preach his beliefs to me. I'm a free-thinker, and I'll be, always. Main reason is that I think believing in myself is enough, and that I am lazy to learn and go into details for each of the many religions that are around me :)

In the end, he was kind enough to say pardon him for talking too much, and well he didn't explicitly try to get me into Buddhism too. Oh, and he has a very strong kind of accent when talking (in Mandarin). He mentioned that he lived in Taiwan for really long, so I guess he got the strange accent there. That made me go "huh" a lot of times initially, but after a while, I just pretended that I understand and go "mm" or nod my head. Its all acting to make him feel better that I am "listening" to him.

Tomorrow's a really long day. Hope it'll be peaceful and enjoyable.
