I am so done!!!
Oh yeah!!! I am done with exams!!! It was torture torture torture...
My management science paper is a goner, I cant do a 20 marks question for marketing (but neither did everyone...), I have no time to do my business legal law paper. That is the most frustrating of all...and I know I know how to do. The only not so bad paper is the sociology paper, my elective paper...which was easier than expected. I think that everyone who had been lectures know that the professor did not really like to make things easier for us. He made 1 questions out of a whole lot of question compulsory (so that students won't pick topics to study) and did not even let us know how many questions to choose from (so that students wont go around guessing how many questions for one topic). But hey, it was not too bad. But that's what everyone thinks too...so when it comes to allocation of grades and the bell-curve thing...I dont exactly have that advantage. But I dont think I will fail that module...maybe I can get a decent B. Lucky I didnt S/U it...(for the sake of those not in NUS, S/U is a choice for students for elective modules not to count in the cummulative average point or CAP.)
I have been wondering for some time already. I suddenly have this fear that I chose the wrong faculty. Hmm, I know some of you people know about this, but I thought of going to Arts fac and major in soci. I always like that subject. But thinking about job aspects, my limitations, and the fact that if I choose the arts fac I would most likely to be memorising the ENTIRE time, I backed out. I am not a bad memoriser, and I dont exactly hate it. But I cant do it all the time, I will scream. Yes yes, I shouldnt be memorising at all and should try to understand but let's face it, there is a need for SOME memorising to start with. Theories, concepts, definitions....these are stuff that you cant exactly cook up at the last minute and gloss it over. I imagined myself doing memorising for at least 4 modules per sem and I can't do it. But now after thinking back, I really like soci. I may even take a level2 soci module. Does it mean that I should be in arts fac? But realistically, I am at the best position possible...I mean I am not too bad yet not too good in either science or arts. Choosing business is like choosing something in between the two.
I shall not think about it. I shall remain that soci is just my interest and business is my calling.
I am so tired from all the studying and it's so nice to have a break. I can finally watch my soccer!!! And damn, Chelsea beat Man U and Rooney is injured.
Now looking for jobs...I need to start thinking about going to Beijing and Vancover for the 2008 and 2010 olympics. Nicole and I are seriously contemplating of going to Beijing. If we both have the money, and if my auntie still lives there (can bunk in her place). It's Thorpe's last Games!! I have to try to be there. So yeah, need to work. It's sickening, because I know I will miss the bulk of the World Cup action but oh well, there is always my tape recorder.
Talking abt that, my mum is finally going to subscribe cable tv. Yes!!! She can't stand the fact that she can't watch the bulk of world cup...I am so lucky that she is into football...
There has been a lot of activity these days because of the GE...and I couldnt study yesterday for my legal paper thanks to them. I am not going into GE but I think my neighbourhood would be an interesting place this week. I dont have to vote, but my friends have to. And I realised TODAY that they actually are qualified to receive Progress Package!!! Arghz!!! They get like $600 to $800...and poor me get kosong....so broke man. The next time I must wrestle a free meal from my friends....
Anyway, I remember reading this from my soci textbook and I want to put it here. I am 'requoting' from it because I can't remember the exact wording...this was in the topic gender.
A woman who is married but without children is considered as selfish.
A woman who is married and working to raise a family is considered to have neglected her family.
A woman who is married and a stay-home mum is considered unemployed at best.
A woman who is divorced with children is considered as the culprit responsible for the breakdown of the family.
A woman who is not married is a spinster.
(Adapted from Sociology A Global Perspective by Joan Ferrante)
I have a few more to add to it.
A couple who is childless is considered as the woman's fault.
A man in his early forties is considered as
1.Charming
2.Rich
3.Sexyl.
4.Bachelor
A woman in her late thirties is considered as
1.Old
2.Career-minded (negative connation intended)
3.Sagging
4. Spinster
What does the society wants from women?? WE ARE STRUCK!!! And mind you, society includes women. I feel that we women have to stop putting ourselves down, putting other women down. We should stand up together as women so that one day in the far future we might possibly get the total equality that we desire. Somehow, I feel that the main problem is women's bitching, and we love to bitch about other women. And we didnt realise that in the midst of us doing that, we cut ourselves opportunities to stand up tall and proud in societies and be equal. Half of the population in the world should be women. We have the power to change.
These are just statements of opinons.
Anyway, I just saw Sylvi's blog entry about the dinner and dance thing. Looks fun...hmm...I wonder if there was such an event last year would I be invited and if I am, what will I go as. Sylvi, I dont believe you dont have an idol. Everyone has one. But hey you look great.
Ok, better get going. I only have 3 hrs of sleep ytday.
And friends, if anyone have any jobs lobangs, call me ok? Thanks!!!
