Today just had accounting quiz. Just exposed me n made me realise how weak n ill prepared i am for the quiz. Things i tot won't come out came out, like AFS and amortization.. din even realise the trial balance was not balanced in the 1st place..

Time is so precious to me now.. It is not so often that i realise that i have so little time left. less than a month to the 1st paper.. haven started any revision yet at all and still struggling with the multiple projects and essays. Has been such a tired sem. Everyone is going thru pretty much the same thing n same workload.

Now its really time for me to buck up n go full steam ahead. been wasting too much time on the computer. luckily my account was hacked.. otherwise i would hv been stuck in that damn game. Last time i used to be very gd in studies.. n able to concentrate for long periods. nowadays, i'm a pale shadow of my old self.. been tinking y i couldn't study like i can during my secondary school days.. now i tink i got an answer.. because getting older means having more problems, more worries, tend to tink deeper, mind wanders away easily.. maybe thats y? too bothered abt things happening around u?

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing
after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him,
she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They
sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything,
she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself,
"Please, let me go home..." Suddenly he asked the waiter,
"Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my
coffee."


Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still,
he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously,
"Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I
lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the
taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every
time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think
of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are
still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was
deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his
heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who
loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she
also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her
childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful
beginning of their story.


They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who
meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm,
careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks
to his salty coffee!


Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess
married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life...
And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the
coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it. After 40 years,
he passed away, left her a letter which said,
"My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was
the only lie I said to you-the salty coffee. Remember the first
time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some
sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went
ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication!
I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too
afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for
anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the
truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But
I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I
never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my
biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second
time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even
though I have to drink the salty coffee again." Her tears made the
letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of
salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."


love is not to forget but to forgive,
not to see but understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go
but HOLD ON!!!!

Finally change song liao.. From Jay! Hui Dao Guo Qu! My fav song from him.. Many of us look towards the future, but some of us would rather go back to the past.. Wat's your choice? Can't say that i'm not enjoying my life now.. Or rather my life has been lacking something ever since i broke up with my gf.. Being single isn't that bad, but rather, lacking a support from a woman u love n hold dearly is wat i'm missing. Sometimes, felt like i got over her, but at times, when i felt i need a person to talk to, i tot of her. Till now, i still dun really noe y we broke up? haha.. To love or not to love? Live in the past or look towards the future? Sometimes its nice to dream of the past.. and feel like in the past, but the realistic step is still looking to the future
End of week liao.. This week was even busier than my holidays.. Oh no.. got lots of projects and quizzes coming up.. dying liao.. lucky Alvin oso same fate as me, although he smarter...

Yesterday went KTV with XM n Donny, wow, quite impressed with party world.. the ambience is gd, the soundproof system is perfect, the drinks are special, the snacks are delicious.. wat more can u ask for?
It was a nice brk from all my damn projects, tutorials.. been staying in the school longer than i was at home.. evryday go home the sky was dark.. And yeah, we sang alot of songs, i suppose 3 hrs was not enough, we need at least 8hrs at least, considering we still had around 40plus songs unsung.. hahaha..
If not for my Fm, i tink we really sang till night liao..

What's the worst thing that a teacher can do to u? Being bochup? Teaching lousily? Dun teach u how to use calculator? Flaring up at u when u gif him lousy ratings in the teacher's feedback?

The list goes on. Wow, until i hear tdy frm my fren in the 1st mkting grp presentation of the project.. yeah the beloved E-MBA programme we suppose to do for NTU.. Here's the story:

The grp finished the project last friday n sent her a soft copy of the presentation slides. Ah hah, apparently, she didn't like the idea of they are proposing, and the WAY they present the slides, becos, she wans to use the slides for HERSELF to present to the dean. Nice ah, using OUR slides and hand in as UR work.. So 1 guy from that poor grp got called to HER office on SAT afternoon, received a lecture and nag frm her for 1.5hrs, asked him to go out of the office to reflect and tink thru, go into office again, n write out wat he had learnt. Totalli nice man! The grp had to do the project and the slides ALL OVER AGAIN in a way that suits her in around 4 days i suppose, from sunday to tuesday(today they present)!

fortunately didn't happen to me, i'm 4th grp presenting the project, but unfortunately for this grp. I can feel the anger too alt it din happen to me.. Imagine u finish evryting n u hv to do evryting again?? ITs OUR mkting project. We are not MBA students. Juz half way in our 1st yr.. we only took mkting for 7wks? 8 wks? This teachers do not understand us. Maybe we do not understand them too. It was nice for her to apologise to the grp in front of the class tdy during the lesson. BUt the damage is done. the time is wasted.

I'm listening to this very nice loving song based on a story abt the singer's grandmother and grandfather! haha, i actualli wrote a composition based on this story and the teacher commented its too sentimental, gave me 20/40... Read the lyrics:

I read the note my grandma wrote, back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, u might not understand, but a long long time ago,
Grandma's daddy din like me enough, but i loved your grandma so

We have this crazy plan to meet, and run away together.
Get married in the 1st town we came to and live 4eva
But nail to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is wat it said, "

(Chorus)
If u get there b4 i do, dun give up on me
i'll meet u when my chores are thru
i dunno how long i'll be
but i'm not gonna let u down
darling wait and see
And between now and then, till i see u again
i'll be loving u, love me""

I read those words just hours b4, when grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church, where me and grandpa start to pray
i noe i nv see him cry, in all my 15 yrs
But as he said these words to her
his eyes filled up with tears, "

If u get there b4 i do, dun give up on me
i'll meet u when my chores are thru
i dunno how long i'll be
but i'm not gonna let u down
darling wait and see
And between now and then, till i see u again
i'll be loving u, love me""

And between now and then, till i see u again
i'll be loving u, love me
