Management Science midterm… is… not exactly what I had expected it to be. Made alot of errors in the graphing question. Basically there are only 4 questions ya… Also had a minor uncertainty over 1 part of sensitivity analysis. This is an unforgivable proposition… for someone who breezed through the tutorials like it wasn’t even there. I expected myself to achieve somewhere close to full marks… which shouldn’t be the case now. Sighx

Then… still have econs lecture… kaoz… Saturday you know. The whole pace of the lecture was horrible. Lecturer reading alot from the slides. There wasn’t any additional information that was useful. Conclusion -> I had wasted 2 hours of my time. That is conjuncted with the fact that its somewhat immediately after the test so there was no time for lunch. And that brings me to my last point. Thanks Susan for the chocolate breads. It delayed the declaration of war from my stomach.

Today was certainly not a day to remember for good memories. Firstly, I was to attend a scheduled talk with Ministry of Finance sometime in the late afternoon, so… dress code given was business attire, understood right… after all you think, hey, its a ministry. So the first thing I want to talk about is sleep. Did my best to burn midnight oil with Joy & Susan for their econs and so I slept at erm, 2am. Then 7am in the morning… my mum woke me up to deliver some household orders… typical housewife behavior ya? But that meant I only got like 5 hours of sleep. No issue… Then I spent time in front of the com as usual… until… its almost time to leave home.

You see, I have this econs test. So the normal behavior is to leave home early, and be glad I thought to do that. Bcos I realised I did not iron my formal wear… Cool, juz in time, in fact still early. There we were, Me & Susan & a few people (that can be counted with both hands) looking very out of place in the exam venue in business wear. Ok, so Econs was a 25 MCQ paper. I was a lil’ bit too overconfident I guess… and I blew my chance of full marks with 1 careless mistake. Oh well, here’s hoping the rest of the questions were spot on.

Had lunch after the test, and as it went today, everything must be negative. Susan complained the noodles stall today added ALOT of chilli. Probably did so, ah well, and it was pretty painful breaking the news to her afterwards that she made alot of errors in the test. Marketing tutorial followed next, there was this presenting group and they were expected to be in formal wear. And so once again I looked out of place amongst the “audience”. One common sentence I used today must have been “I’m going for a talk later…” But oh well, for the assignment, tutor played Russian Roulette once again and I did not have to submit again. Means next assignment it is so gonna have a high chance of including me.

Oh yes, finally, the finale of the day… talk by the various Directors of the teams in the Ministry of Finance. Informative, some humor, some corny stuffs… but… I should not really talk about the negatives, or rather the perspective I get. Haha, but importantly… at the end of the day, I think the talk was really geared for graduating students… so I’m year 1 ya… 2ndly, inaugural talk… And the Directors u know… sounds senior management enough right, aint really dressed to the top. So I could have avoided all the trouble and attention earlier in the day! Ouch. But whatever. Just some grumbling.

On the way home, now it was Joy’s turn to seek econs answers. 3 questions asked, 3 wrong… that was a bit demoralizing, even though obviously she asked those she did not know. But well, when you get into that kind of situation, you stop. To avoid 多问多错 right… Jiayou, hope for the best for everyone. And the next obstacle to conquer is Management Science.
