Do you know that an accident is all it takes to ruin your day, week, or even your life forever… My friends (?), i strongly advise you to be careful….. there are so many accidents in this world…and one of them could struck you, me or even everybody…..
Be prepared, be advised, and beware.. life is short… do good, satisfy yourself, and plan for any eventualities….because life could be shorter too… and ALL it takes is a little ACCIDENT!
Today is an absolutely shocking paper! Tax Law really lives up to its name. Even for an open book exam, there is no time to flip! Everyone that i met after the exam, complained they couldnt finish the questions at all! As for me, hahaa… lets not even go there!
There is a sense of relief yet disatisfaction… oh well, everybody is not feeling good right now… for my first paper, that wasnt a good introduction to the exam mood at ALL! NOT HAPPY JAN!
the next one is on tuesday, and to my surprise (not really), i forgot to take my student card with me.. so i guess, the invigilators gonna collect it for me and i have to pick it up from student admin on Monday.
So whats in the world today… well let see, the ten COmmandment Judge has been removed following the trial’ by the ethic committee , Australian govt accused of misleading the public about 14 Turks (sounds like Tampa??) , Hanson’s return to political circle is ‘likely’ and Operation Iron Hammer is happening in Iraq… cant they choose a better name????
The trial of Peterson still continues… that was long time ago…. i think he is guilty.. but let see how the case gonna move on from here…
My interest was captured by the latest final report of IMF on indonesian economy….it projected stable growth and stable inflation for Indonesia… yes IMF… do whatever you want…. you bully too much developing countries in the world..you know that your ‘bloody’ money is needed despite corruptions.. yet you did nothing about it…. you just want countries to be ‘dependent’ on you… the old trick…. lucky Mahathir didnt take yours… too bad Indonesia did..which in the end didnt go to the people… but to the ’selected few’..
wohooo… the battle is on tommorrow, tax law.. the first paper. been spending the whole day answering questions from past exam paper. God its hard!… after tomm, its not getting easier…. another one on tuesday, followed by another on wednesda
ready?
grrrr… taxation law.. thats what i have been studying today…. making notes from Lecture 1.. and it doesnt seem to progress well…. took time off to check email and chat with my friend…
to my surprise, kimberly, my friend in berkeley, was online.. and she was in the class, advanced financial accounting, with Prof Stanton… OMG, she was IM-ing while he was teaching.. i took that class before.. and did just that! Prof Stanton was an easy goin Prof though… hehhe… i miss Berkeley, I miss America…..
oh well, now have to get back to the book again, those two boring giants books!
i have the strangest (or is more most strange) conversation with my dad today. its been decided. 95% i wont be going back to indo this summer. first, i couldnt get hold of ticket thats long enough. 35 days is the only one available. and even that was too expensive. all others were booked. what happened to the travel industry?? i thought it was slumping?? apparently not. well i guess, this is the time of the year where most international students in OZ travel home.
been studying the whole day… bloody cost management… havent even started on tax yet. and two other subjects…. hiks hiks…. its taking longer than i expected.. its kinda funny, during exam time, you just ignore the rest of the world. you are in your own little detention center.. hoping the best, but yet, its beyond your control to a certain extent. pity those refugees, i saw an interview in TV today with Immigration MInister, Ms. Vanstone. She didnt handle it well.. the presenter made her inhumane with her ‘i-am-in-charge’ statements.
OZ dollar is going strong, despite the inactive greenbacks. Its more expensive now to stay here…. it was Rp. 5500/aud about two weeks ago and now its already Rp6300 /aud.
been surviving on instant noodles. cheap alternatives: $0.60 per meals with different flavours. you just have to be creative in preparing them and you are set for the best meal of the week! wait till the whole week you are eating the same thing….. urggghhhh no choice
there are just some ppl in life that annoy you the most… and you try to ignore them, but they are not stopping. you put them in the hate list and yet they dun seem to understand that their animal behaviours dont earn them any respect but hatred…. i put them in public enemy number one. it takes a lot to move a person from my hatred list to this other list. eventhough they receive temporary status for now (re: can be removed from the list, after displaying good behaviors and done community service), they could be made permanent. once you are in my permanent list, i will seek revenge… till death do us part. in whatever i do, you will be the first person to be struck down…..bad??? i dun give a s&^&%&. As i’ve said, it takes a lot of sh&^ to be on that list….. the good thing is, im patient. if i dun get it today, i will wait for tomm, or next week, or next month, or next year, but the day of reckoning will come, and thats when you will regret for messing around with me.
today is one of my productive day, even though its running 20% capacity… well good enough to rework the engine, i suppose.
had meeting with the university re union restructuring, at least now its taking a new direction, and moving at a full steam…
after that, i went to library for 6 straight hours of study… till 12am. pity those who stay until 3am (yes, thats when library closes during exam period), but i had to leave, if not will miss my tram home.
yvette called me from sydney, asking when is the best time next year to travel to melb… there is this cheap air fare sale!!! $39 one way from sydney to melb.. thats a bargain.. the catch is.. you have to buy it before midnight today…. so… we planned for our travel next year…..she will be visiting me in the last two weeks of feb before school starts….
i might have to go back to indo either at the end of december or early january… my parents insisted on me going back….. i have to return by feb though, as i have work placement for two weeks in feb (first two weeks).. the work placement is with National Australia Bank.. so better be good. i was told that in January, the finance division is moving to the new office in Docklands… yohooo… even though im not expecting much… probably just gonna be paper boy.. haha.. but at least worth something… work experience especially if you are internaitonal student is soooo hard to get!
contemplating now whether i should take a rest or study more.. but while i was reading news and checking mails, mervin, my indo friend, who has long been missing, appeared from nowhere in MSN… there we go.. exchagning greetings and news…..
good stuff… spirit is medium… not too low, not to high.. hopefully will go up, just like the Australian Dollar and the Interest Rate….RBA finally decided to hike it up.. good on you!!! australians have too much debts now…. increase in interest rate at this time, is just a prudent move!
