Recording my life...
I felt that life needs to be recorded and reminisced.
That's why I am back to writing this blog.
I am having exams from 10th of May to 4th of June.
Kind of confident for tmr's exam.
Was really disappointed with the marketing exam a week ago.
Didn't really prepared fully and readily.
It's alright...
Hopefully a pass will do and overall I would get 50+.
Hopefully I will get 80+ for tmr's paper.
It will pull my overall marks to 60+.
So far my courseworks are:
Marketing and Strategy: 70
Logistics and Distribution Management: 68
Operations Management: 66
Managerial Accounting and Finance: 68
Organization Behaviour: 69
Purchasing and Supply Chain Management: 63.
I am really happy with what I've got here.
Hoepfully I will get 2:1 overall.

This is unbelievable!
I am in UK!
So cool.
Right now,
I just love the place.
Absolutely awesome.
Met 5 of my roommates already.
Left 3 of them.
Now I am learning to cook pasta.
That was fun.
I will still be my usual self.
I don't go clubbing, drink, take drugs or smoke.
Going to a foreign place doesn't change you.
The people are really friendly in Cardiff.
There is no need to be fear of anything.
Origin of Singlish
Do you know most of the discourse particles in Singlish derive mainly from cantonese? No wonder my cantonese is still ok...
One way of keeping young
No smoking,
no drinking,
no gambling,
and lastly,
no pre-sexing.
Driving a car for the first time
Today got taught by a sucker instructor.
This was my first time driving a manual car.
I was so blur at first.
I didn't know that finding the friction point is not enough.
I still need to step onto the acceleration pedal.
So my car always backtrack.
Luckily I hit onto the brake fast enough.
If not...
the taxi behind me will horn like some trumpet..
I manage to drive at 80km/h for the first time.
It was nothing actually.
Above 80 than really something...
I learnt L parking too.
Seems like this 1000 bucks is well paid
though is not paid by me...
Next week is automatic car...
Met my cousin yesterday.
Looks like a japanese star right now.
Very cool.
Just bought leather Jack Purcell.
HK$399.
Cheaper than other shops by $100.
Was comparing price among the shops in MK.
Lucky to get a cheap one...
3 more weeks to uk...
