Me? In a foul mood? Oh no no no no. I just feel like bashing something, that's all.

I have an assignment due on Friday.

I have no idea how to do it.

I have spent most of my free time reading up on journal articles that will supposedly help me make sense of the assignment, but let me emphasise on the word SUPPOSEDLY because the more I read, the more confused I became.

I can't believe that even reading is becoming a chore now. =(

Worst still, in between reading these journals, I still had to make time for another assignment that's due later today. I am so glad that the other one's easier.

I have never felt so clueless in doing an assignment. I almost wish that the uni would close down because H1N1. Not such a far-off thought, since there are already a few confirmed cases and we're subjected to temperature checks everytime we step into the campus.

Oh well. I can wish, can't I?

Everyone should watch this. It's a really inspirational clip. I actually cried the first time I saw it, during a career talk in Monash (that was embarrassing, trying to hide the tears. Lol.).

Gender equality?

Today I was talking with a friend of mine about work and stuff cause we were supposed to start looking for internship for the summer break. And we were talking about job prospects once we graduate, etc, etc, when he said something to this effect:

"Tapi you perempuan, senang je. You kahwin je la dengan someone kaya"

EXCUSE ME????

Needless to say, I was a bit taken aback and I was actually rendered speechless for a few seconds after that.

I have not studied my ass off these past three years to just be satisfied with being some housewife, waiting hand and foot on her husband.

NO.BLOODY.WAY.

I mean, if I wanted to kahwin some rich-ass kid and be totally dependent on him, what was the point of me slaving over my studies?

I really want to see how far I can go on my own, with the skills that I have or will obtain in the future. Partially it's about the money, but mostly it's for my own self-satisfaction.

I can tell you right now that being a housewife will NOT give me any self-satisfaction.

And it shocked me that the thought even crossed my friend's mind. I seriously didn't know that guys could still think like that. It saddens me.

No title post. Lol.

I'm sick. I've been sick for the past 5 days already. Boo. =(

Funnily, I got sick a few hours after writing the previous post. I knew there would be something that would stop me from studying. LOL.

My voice is very sengau right now. Sometimes I think I sound like Fran from The Nanny. LOL.

You know what went through my mind a few days back?

Most of us taking the Accounting major in Monash have the ambition of being an auditor in one of the Big Four (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young) once we graduate.

But the thing is, I'm taking the Auditing unit right now and the more I go for the classes, the more I think that auditing might not be want I want to slave my life to.

I mean, put it this way la, while the lecturer was talking about ethics and whistleblowing and how life as an auditor is in reality, I was actually looking around the lecture hall to see which guy has a strong jaw and whether the girl in one of the rows in front of me has fake hair. And I was also thinking about how my lecturer looks like a huggable teddy bear. Lol.

It scares me that the thought of not being an auditor actually crossed my mind because it kinda goes without saying la that you're supposed to be an auditor when you graduate.

And it makes me wonder you know, what other options do I have if I refuse to become an auditor.

I know there are other things I could do, but I just don't see anything yet. But I just know that I might not like being an auditor. I know even right now, that if I become an auditor, after six months I'll be bored out of my mind.

But then again, it's a never say never situation because usually whenever I say I'll never do something, I'll end up doing it anyways.

Haih.

First week rant. Hehehe.

Oh My God.

I can't believe it.

But this is the first Friday of the first week, and I'm actually STUDYING. Or trying to. I wrote some notes, but i can't seem to finish off the stupid Chapter.

I mean, it's Accounting THEORY. Yep, I have to actually read up on theories of accounting. What the hell. It's all words and journals and people disputing each theory that comes about. In the end I know I'm gonna feel like I've learnt everything yet I've learnt nothing since nothing is concrete.

I can feel myself drooping off already. Oh well, at least I tried to study.

LOL.

By the way,

I'm running away, from predictable
Miss reliable, so methodical
Wanna be individual, and original
So radical, and desirable

These lyrics describes exactly i want to do. But obviously I'm not becoming more desirable since I'm actually studying. Bloody hell. Lol.

Oh yeah, there's something that has been nagging on my mind these past couple of weeeks.

Is it just me, but are guys becoming more brand-conscious than girls?

It's just a random observation. I mean, I like branded stuff, but nowadays I feel like the amount of money that some guys spend on one shirt could buy me at least 5 tops. Lol.

But then again I spend most of my time in Sunway, where apparently the rich flaunt everything they have.

So it could just be me who is oblivious to all the branded clothes that I should be wearing. Sorry la. I'm not that rich. Lol.

Oh yeah, I still don't get why people find it weird that:

1. I watch football AND
2. I DON'T SUPPORT MAN UTD. (Arsenal all the way, baby)

It's so strange. It's weird enough to guys that I actually know footballers, and I know it intrigues them that I choose Arsenal over Manchester United.

Bet they don't know that I have an Arsenal calendar hanging on my door and it's Robin van Persie month this month. Lol. Next month is Cesc's month! Yay!

I bet it'll also intrigue them when they find out that one of my good friend (who is a girl, too, mind you) supports Chelsea!

By the way, I supported Malaysia all the way during both their matches with Manchester United this past week. It thrilled me when they scored twice against Man Utd and it broke my heart when I saw them not playing well in the second game, which I went to.

Okiedokes, enough rants, gonna try to get back to studying. Won't be too successful now, though. Facebook is calling. Lol.

Love loads! =)

My internet's too slow.

Been trying to upload the pics from the Langkawi trip to put in a post, but obviously it's going nowhere.

The new sem is starting tomorrow.

And I'm back to having early morning lectures on Mondays.

Gah.

Oh well, here's to another semester!

Will try to post up the Langkawi post ASAP.

Love loads! =)

I'm elated!!!! =)

My results for the semester:

Click on the picture if you're curious to see my results (considering the miniscule amount of people reading this blog, I don't mind putting the results up. Lol).

My marks are in the second last column. For as long as I've been in Monash, I have never had a semester where my lowest mark is 73. I got the SMS for the results when I was on my way back from the LCCT. I was in the car with my mum and Anis and I was so happy when I read the SMS, I screamed in the car.

I almost gave my mum and sister heart attacks when I screeched. LOL.

I was particularly happy with my Tax Law results cause I didn't expect to get such a high mark (it's the highest mark I've gotten so far and probably the highest mark I will ever get!).

That was definitely the best way to end my great trip to Langkawi!

Oh yeah, Langkawi post coming soon. Still uploading the pics! =)
