Welcome to Accounts 100...

Good Day,

I'm not too sure why the other post aren't appearing. But basically i was rambling abt the orientation how i was about to switch RMIT melbourne cause Curtin 'screwed up'

But yea, Didn't screw up in the end they are still recognised by The Board.

Yay

I was 2 hours away from paying AUD 70 for a very last minute registration into RMIT thru Taylor's Placement Centre. In which i would have missed 2 weeks of classes should i have pushed thru. But i gave the Real Estate Board one last call to confirm if Curtin was still recognised...



Lo & Behold..



They said Yes!! and it was actually my mailed that confused them.
To Cut the long story short...No Melbourne for me! Perth it will be in 2007.


Along the way i did learn somethin..

Ms. Sukhminder is PREGNANT!!!
Remember IT teacher? yeap... tht one. Big tummy. Rumbling thingy inside as well..


Along with things..








'WELCOME TO ACCOUNTS LECTURE 100...'

Can you believe every lecture is 3 hours long? but still i'm pretty with my schdule. i've got a heavy monday till wednesday before thursday is completely free and Friday has only 1 lecture at 8 till 11. Oh and i have info systems this term..(Think Access)

Accounts lecture started off in a rather boring fashion. And it continued it that form for the rest of the duration. I'm not really in a position to compare just as yet since this is my first lecture..however i do feel the standard's here and Taylor's are a little far off. The one emphasis the lecturer kept throughout was 'it's really not tht hard to pass.., So if we work hard, i'm sure we can all pass right?'




Okay...







I'm not an accounts genius...but shouldn't we be aiming higher? Motivation might be apt in this instance. Anyways, a friend did point out a couple of ppl in the lecture hall whom he'd seen in the entering the same lecture for the 4 straight semester cause they kept failing? He even told of a person who kept failing till the lecturer pitied the poor guy and gave him the exact same paper for the mid semester...




surprise surprise!













....The Bloke Still Failed.













Wanna know a great thing about Metro? Photocopied books are reccomended!

Yes!



The lecturer actually asked us to get the photocopied books. Saying it's a waste of money to buy brand new ones. And yet during orientation we were told abt plagarism and what not.










Welcome to Metropolitan College

...Tmrw is a new day=)

Round and round the 'Merry go Round'...

Finally an entry!!

Things should be going according to plan.

Sign up for Uni, go to Uni, go for orientation, start Classes on Monday...

Apparently not.




I happily signed up for Metropolitan College cause it was the only private institution which would allow me to twin with Curtin and above all Curtin is one of the few universities in Australia that actually offer a property major. A property major which is recognised by the Malaysian Board! Wanting to be certain of Curtin i actually mailed and called the board for confirmation that Curtin was recognised by them. And so with that in mind i took up the metro option.

Come orientation day itself and i receive an email from the board saying that the degree offered by Curtin is yet to be accredited by the board due to some paperwork in which Curtin has yet to agree upon. Great!













Splendid!













Now what...
Sigh...which leaves me with the appoinment i'll be going to later in the day with Metro's Curtin Director. She actually told me a possible sollution was to send me to RMIT. Now somethin i'm keen about. 4 long years compared to Curtin's 3! And of course....No Shu-Wen!!!

Anyways thats tht..

Of course now comes the ultimate pain in the ass.
I was looking for a parking lot in Carrefour in subang jaya earlier while waiting for my mom to complete her physio. It was terrible i tell you...the number of cars there just cause it's a friday and thus the extended lunch hour. So i finally car ready to leave after 15 minutes of lookin. Like any good driver, i turn on my signal light. A beige Kia Spectra comes into view and stops. I figure it's just stopping to let the car continue it's reverse.

...Nice Man

Car reverses out. Spectra drives in!




WHAT?????!!!!






Spectra just stole my parking!






I banged the horn with my right hand. Not wise since i already ripped ligaments in it. so it wasn't actually feeling great after i hit the horn so hard.

The accused leaves his car with his friend and proceeds to walk to my car. I wind down the window and say "i was witing here first!"
Accused Driver: Whats the problem? whats the problem? ( in crude cantonese tone and gives me a rather irritated glare)
Me: You stole my parking! thats the problem! (in english)
Accused Driver: What ah? (in cantonese, i now realised this man can't speak english...*sigh*)
Accused Driver's Friend: Lets not make a scence. Lets just leave it as it is and why don't you find another lot. ( He proceeds to pat me on the shoulder while his friend continues his glare)
Me: BUT YOU STOLE MY PARKING AND YOU TELL ME TO FIND ANOTHER LOT JUST CAUSE YOU STOLE MY DAMN PARKING?? (In my very broken cantonese...okay, maybe the sentence wasn't so nicely phrased. But it somewhere along those lines)
Accused Driver: *gives another glare and snorts* and walks off...



Y'know, i would have easily said well okay sure have the parking if you would have apologized and not glare at me irritably! When will people ever learn that a gentle act of civic sense and courtesy goues a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way??

Bah..

Anyways..time to go for my meeting with the Curtin Lady.
