MB106 exam

Though i did some last-minute cramming of info, the paper wasn’t that good … Nevertheless, getting a pass shouldn’t be much of a problem if nothing goes wrong … I wonder, how many can finish the whole paper and leave the exam-hall feeling satisfied with your work?

7 questions in 2hrs’ time; all mini essays ranging from 10marks to 20marks … Had so much to write, but little time. Took around 15 minutes to just read the case study and do some analysis. Had to leave out the 15-marks-question on “transformational leadership” due to lack of time and confidence to give a good answer. Didn’t managed to finish giving examples for my JCM too. And we were puzzled; should we draw the current structure the company is using or the proposed alternative we give; functional vs. matrix structure?

Luckily i S.U the module …

More teasing sessions from the girls about my slow-growing-hair, especially PeiPei and Weixuan … I hate you, bOoOoOoOoOoOo =P

Having the HC362 paper on 2 Dec; 2 weeks to study. I shall make use of some time to edit my FYP chapter 1 and 2 … Had a talk with JunHao cos we took the same bus home yesterday. He said he was neither depressed about the change in date of final submission nor the fact that he hasn’t start writing; everyone’s Facebook status were haunting … I agree, but i need a way to channel my frustration. Anyway, wish him luck in finalizing his topic and come up with some data soon …

Oh ya; to Angela and LingLing too, for their HC443 exam later …

It’s impossible to see my photos in a gallery even in the future, so …

I thought i looked so 哀怨 in this photo … LOL =)

MB106

Why could i spend hours watching dramas and animes, even english and chinese novels of specific genres, but can’t even spend a whole 1-hour facing my lectures notes?

Having MB106 exam in another 16 hours … Struggling to finish reading the chapters, memorize new stuff and keep those done in my mind …

Why are there so many motivation theories?

I am missing out on the chapter on leadership traits, etc now … 

CONCENTRATE!!!

I still need a “S” for this module …

FYP bomb

My mentor sent us this email.

今天系上開過會議，有關FYP的事項請轉告其他七位同學。

論文繳交的時間是明年的三月一日，要交出完整而且裝訂好的論文。
因此，我們完稿的時間應該在一月底，以便二月時做最後的修訂整理和打印。

詳細的情形和論文格式系上會再統一寄email通知，請大家注意。

我們明年一月八日見面討論的時間和寫作進度不變，但是請大家盡量在考試結束之後的假期中多多努力，多寫一點。

加油！加油！

Fantastic … That means i probably have to finish at least 1/2 of my Chapter 4 if we are to complete the first draft by end Jan … 1-month-holiday to rush out 2 chapters, is that really possible? Originally planned to edit my Chapter 1 and 2 during the 2-weeks-interval after the MB106 exam and before the HC362 exam, and rush my Chapter 3 out by end Dec … Guess we have to change the plan now; 2 chapters down by early Jan, hopefully … =( 

I am feeling so dead …

Still, i got caught up with “Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge” (The Wallflower/ Perfect Girl Evolution). Watched the first episode; a creepy but shy girl with 4 “beautiful” boys together in a mansion= dark love humor …

The story is about a girl who was called “ugly” by a boy, the first and only person to whom she confessed her love. This incident sparks a life change, and as a result Sunako shuns all forms of beauty, both in herself as well as in life. Concerned by her change for the worst, Sunako’s aunt, the owner of a beautiful mansion where four handsome students live, offers the guys free rent in her mansion if they can turn Sunako into a “perfect lady”.

Trying to resist the temptation and devote my energy to MB106 now …

FYP Briefing 5

Mostly issues with the translated terms; my mentor commented some were too ”powerful”, but i am just following what others had written in their publications. Didn’t forced me to change, but i do agree with some of her suggestions. Wanted us to avoid concluding things with words like “only” and too-detailed-specifications; decided to add another paragraph to Chapter 1 because of such adjustments … And as expected, my 3rd sub-segment for Chapter 2 was too short; she thought i didn’t finish writing but actually, i did completed it though it wasn’t as extensive as the 1st sub-segment. She suggested adding 1 more paragraph. That means more words to write; still ok with adding since i am still within the word-limit i set for each chapter …

Basically. the main problem now is, should i stick with “sexual desires”, or split them into “sex” and “desires” as planned originally? The 2nd alternative is definitely more extensive and interesting, but i can’t find concrete stuff related to “imitation of sexual behaviour” …

Have to submit my Chapter 3, the revised Chapter 1 and 2, a less-than-300-words-Chinese and English abstract 1 week before school reopens; 1 month left to churn out the content cos’ my exams end on 2 Dec … Done my Chinese and English abstract = 1 less thing to think about during the holidays. Same as AY, we are supposed to submit a final draft before 15 Feb; that means 1+ month to finish my Chapter 4 and 5 … Hope i can make it in time for the submission … =)

Some minor issues on format and word-error again. The happiest thing was, my mentor wrote a comment in my report saying “这一段修改得很好”. And someone said she can’t really draw the diagrams, my mentor replied, “嘉欣画的图表就很漂亮，你可以问她怎么画的。”

The high and almighty princess can’t believe that she is happy over such trivial things …  =)

Time to curb my spending …

A Random Post 10.11.09

Made a trip to Salvation Army last Saturday … Had a feast to celebrate “end of exams” for my paternal cousins; tom yum soup, herbal soup, crabs, clams, etc … First time playing bad-minton since graduated from secondary school … Either i am getting older or haven’t been exercising; woke up next morning with 腰酸背痛 …   

Finally submitted all of my school reports … The MB106 report was horrible; why did he insist on such a strict format? Luckily i S.U-ed the module; just praying for a ”pass” now … 

Left with FYP chapter 2 due on 10.12.09 … Seriously wondering if i can really finish writing. But well, i submitted my FYP chapter 2 in the morning after “burning the midnight-oil” again …

Thought summarizing the theory would be an easy task, but i ended up having trouble to sub-catogerize my content cos everything seems linked together … Sub-segment 1 should be fine, but 2 and 3 were so-so; it wasn’t that extensive … Only managed to write 3000 words for Chapter 2 … If my mentor didn’t said anything about adding more content, i will allocate 1000 words to my Chapter 1 since i gave Chapter 2 a word-limit of 4000 words …

Hope i won’t be condemnned during the Thursday meeting …

Having 2 papers this semester; 19 Nov and 2 Dec … Time to start flipping my textbook and notes for the business PE, “Fundamentals of Management” … =)

Good luck to my cousin too; he’s having his O’ Level Chinese paper today …

My hair is longer now … Forsee myself tying my hair often; the girls commented i looked neater … Can’t resist buying the blue ribbon band; it looked so cute … Don’t really have much of the ”flower” accessories too; the hot-pink one looks nice … Realized i don’t have a thin belt to match my outfits, here’s one then … 

Bought the vest to match the shirts i had at home … Thinking of wearing this outfit as a dress on Thursday for the FYP meeting, but i can’t find my golden hairband …

Tim Gunn: “Make it work” …
