What A Relief!

Got my results for Strategic Management - a subject which i was dead sure that i would fail. I only wrote one page and drew a miserable chart for a 60 marks question, how the hell would i expect to pass? BUT! miracles apparently happen....... i got 68% and is 3rd in class... don't ask me how i did it...

For one, i am sure i didn't deserve the grade and surely the more than satisfactory results are not achieved by my own merits. I'm not being humble here... honestly, i really submitted a piece of crap! I can only thank god that my lecturer is either suffering from severe jetlag or failing eyesight...

I suspect that the school must have "lowered" their standard just to make sure that most of us can make it pass the 50% mark. Of course i'm pleased to have passed.... but it also makes me wonder how valuable this MBA is...... the standard is so low!

Let's see how i'll fare for my next paper.....

Foretelling the future?

Have been rather stressed lately. It was hell last week, with Joey admitted to hospital and my exams and assignment due on the same day. How should i manage my time? If i spend time doing my assignment, i wouldn't have enough time to study (and the reverse applies) - Plus , with Joey sick, my life was being thrown into disarray :(

I believe that those stressful days must have had a part to play in my dream yesterday....

I dreamt that i was sitting for my Logistics Management paper! In my dreams, i knew that i was dreaming but was secretly pleased that my subsconscious state has given me a "preview" of the question paper...

Hmm.. I remember there was a question on developing supply chain.. and another on process improvement. I told myself in the dream that i must memorise the question, so when i wake up, i will only need to go through these few topics again and i'm confident i'll pass!

Woke up this morning feeling good. I remembered every detail of the dream. Happily sat down on the day bed, half watching TV, half going through the notes on the topics i dreamt about.

Crunch time!..... flipped the paper when the invigilator said "START" and counldn't believe what i saw! NON of the questions i dreamt of are in the paper!!! Damm! How naive am i to think that dreams will actually come true.... At that moment, i only wished that i was still dreaming and this is not REAL!

Back to reality...i think i'm going to fail this paper... out of 2 questions, i could only confidently answer one.. the other was really "gasak"... Well, let's see how la... no point crying over spilt milk... Might as well just enjoy the rest of the day! Altivo, here i come!

Please do not let this dream come true!

Ever heard of the term Dejavu? Well, I'm back dating this deam (or rather nightmare) of mine which happened weeks ago but it was so vivid and real i thought i better put it on record to "ward" of any chance of this incident "dejavuing" (if there is such a word) on me.

---------------------------
"I was driving along a street when one inconsiderate motorist swerved into my lane, forcing me to veer right to avoid the collision... Then i heard the dreaded siren.... it was the "Man in white" aka Traffic police, zooming up next to me, signalling me to pull over.

Immediately, 2 terrible things floated across my mind

1) I do not have my driver's license with me coz i've lent it to my cousin to use as a shopping discount card. I'm doomed!

2) I do not have my IC coz i've lent it to a friend to redeem a free gift! I'm REALLY doomed!

The traffic police jumped off his bike and showed me this stylo milo folder filled with pictues of traffic offences. Lo and behold! There was one picture of me driving across double white lines.

Even before i could explain that i was forced to drive cross the double white lines because of some inconsiderate motorist, he shoved a ticket in my face and said 'The fine is $2600!' "

The next thing i know, my M&Ms alarm clock rang and this nightmare ended abruptly. That traffic police didn't have time to ask for my identification! phew.... saved by the bells!

.... please... please.... don't let this nightmare come true!
