Finally I'm going overseas this Dec.

This calls for a celebration. Yay!

Despite soaking myself in the murky waters, getting sunburnt, gulping down seawater through the nose,having muscle aches, I still enjoyed my first windsurfing experience.

Today's course is superb, having lots of time practical in the open sea trying to windsurf. Most of the time, I ended up falling into the water than on the surf board. But by afternoon, this problem is somewhat solved with more experience.

Tried out some other stunts like 180 degree turn, jibing,tacking etc. The only thing I could get it right is the 180 degree after so much effort.

I will need more practice.

Today's talk on Trading Psychology was super disappointing. I thought this seminar would give me a deeper understanding on how the human psychology affects the trends in the market, but this was not the case. Instead, it talked about the causes of failures/successes that are based on what was termed "cognitive bias". Somehow I don't find this very practical for use.

In this case, I know nuts about it. So in the end, I ended up leaving the seminar learning nothing at all. What a waste of time. Should have gone for the SN lecture instead.

Another NUS Investment Society activity coming up. At least something different this week. Yea.

I just came to realise I have totally forgotten to update my blog for almost a week. pardon me for that, since there isn't any fixed schedule to blog.

Life pretty busy trying to catch up on studies that had fallen behind since the mid-terms was over. Too much readings to do till I barely had time for myself. But I shall not let these studies take control over my entire life. I must find some entertainment.

For now, I shall listen to some Jay's new song - Niu Zai Hen Mang for some "out-of-the world" entertainment.

p.s yesterday South Asian lect was super funny, the lecturer spent almost 10mins trying to teach guys tips on how to woo girls (he said girls like guys who are vulnerable, is that true?). Iwonder what his definition of vulnerability was.

And half the time watching Indian commercials.

After watching her splendid performance in Jay's movie- Secret, I was totally mesmerized by her unique, one & only character (this is probably the 1st time I can sense the X-factor so strongly).

Seems that there is another movie of hers coming up soon. I wonder when will it be released?

Usually people will say that they got 26/40. This time round I got 26/40 wrong instead for my Genes & Society module. I'm just utterly disappointed by my own results.

But I'm fuming because this test seems so illogical.There are just so many trick questions inside this paper that I gave up completely trying to listen for the correct answer. My morale was like damn low, especially when the lecturer gave the answer with this underlying tone "this answer so simple, how come you all just don't understand?" It's so fustrating.

Can you believe there are some questions that have 2 correct answers, some answers come from elimination instead of it being the accurate one, and the most funny, the answer comes from assumptions. Arghhh... Makes my blood boil trying to blog about it.

GEK1527 is hopeless.

And I thought I got very low marks when I overhead someone in front saying he only got 10/40. I ought to find some consolation that I'm actually not at the bottom of the chart.

Completed my South Asian mid test today, and that leaves only the Genes & Society test on Sat before I can completely take a short break from studies.

Done with my philosophy, history paper after much brain-damaging sessions, and the last essay to be done is Genes & Society again.

Life should be pretty slack after this week. I'm so looking forward to kbox with the crew tomorrow. And the test on sat?

S/U it. lol.

I was walking around at jurong east with my mum after visiting the library when I heard a familiar tune playing over the audio system in popular.

The tune was so melodious that I ended up buying the cd without any hesitation. This was the OST for Jay's movie - Secret. I almost thought this was the another of those sentimental piano cd.

and my heart melted with Lu xiaoyu.

Something funny happened in the stock market today.

I earned a virtual $2 million from poems stock challenge just by buying 20k units of GLD US.

I simply cannot imagine how this stock can fall from $73 to $0.73 in an hour. What I cannot imagine more was how I managed to buy 20k units from this.

This must be a technical glitch in the system.

Now I have a big problem, I'm already out of the competition, since it is impossible for me to realise the 20% STI profit for $2million. (which is like 400k)

It doesn't pay to be too greedy at times.

I need faith and confidence.

Where will I be able to find it?

My "special" spec, Sgt Chris Choo in FDC did another heroic stunt again. I'm just totally lost for words this time round.

I thought I was going crazy yesterday morning, when I woke up early in the morning and started telling everyone that I felt my bed shaking uncontrollably.

After watching the news the same night, it was reported that there was indeed tremors from the earthquake near Indonesia. So I was not hallucinating after all.

NUS Investment Group's first activity for the semester.

Those who attended this Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager seminar will probably agree that it is pretty interesting, not like any of the usual investment course that we have went before.

Really enjoyed it (much to the expense of returning back home late).

After lagging behind for almost a month, I finally watched Secret.

I must say, it was good, in fact very good for a maiden movie. Now I'm impressed with Jay's talent even more...

I've been making extra efforts in looking for activities that can enrich my university life.

And after much sourcing, I settled for the NUS investment society and windsurfing recreational club,as well as participation in this year's POEMS stock challenge.

It's high time for me to join a cca (before I over-exhaust myself from the tons of readings left)

Thanks for everyone's concern when I was sick. I'm well now.

I supposed there isn't anything worth blogging for now, since there is really nothing special except for school and sleep. If I start to blog about the things I did in school, everyone will probably fall asleep at the snap of my fingers. So I better not spoil the bright day ahead.

Still down with fever.

It so appears that my body cells cannot adapt very well into a new living environment, especially those related to schools. I tend to get extremely sick everytime I go for my first day of school, right from primary school till now.

This must be another psychological rejection of studies/books/school again.

I'm so fortunate enough to secure at least some modules for this semester, even though these are not really to my liking.

But I must thank those who provided me with advice, strategies so that I can at least fulfil some of the less important general modules required for graduation.

Though I don't really have particular interest in any of these, I'll still try my best to do well in it.

This is going to be a tough semester in uni.
