Exam Results

Heh Heh, I PASSED my exams...whoopee. I do have to thank god for it though, I mean honestly, I did not attend any lecture for my Investment module and probably a handful for Introduction to Futures and Options. By god's grace, I managed a Cr for Investments and a PA (pass) for IFO. I do have to give credit to my lecturers too, they have definitely helped us tremendously during the semester, always giving us additional notes of theirs, giving us pointers, going through past year questions with us, definitely helped me tons.

I literally smoked my way through investment by trying to convince the marker that I knew what was going on by writing common sense, talking rubbish. I even calculated the way I thought the question should be calculated cause I had NO CLUE whatsoever as to how to do the question. Geez..

So next semester will be my last 3 modules. I promised myself to put in more effort in attending lectures. Hur, but honestly, I hate attending lectures. The gloom of the after-work crowd, the quiet bobbing of heads, why even bother coming for the lecture if you're gonna fall asleep right? To make your money's worth? To not feel bad for skipping a lecture. I hate lectures cause some of the students are really bleah. I mean I had this instance where I just asked if the lecturer gave out other notes the last time, and he/she replied in this really irritating why-are-you-bothering-me tone and said 'yar' and went back to staring at the piece of note which I honestly believe she has no frakking idea what the fuck its talking about. In addition to why I hate going for lectures, I hate trying to find a parking lot and I hate getting out of SIM after the lecture. Hur. With all that said, I still promised myself to attend more lectures.

I'm waiting for my cereal to get home so I can claim my hug. My consolation hug.

It's Fishy Business

I have gone a carbless diet recently. This means that I have totally cut my body out from carbohydrates, in return I consume a whole lot of fish and veggies. This brings me to the topic of this post. BUYING FISH.

I went to a supermarket with those indoor wet-market kind of concepts and decided that I should have steamed fish for my dinner. I stared at the tray filled, ice packed tables of catches of the day and wondered what fish could I recall my mom steaming. I literally had to wreck my brains to remember how the fish looked like on the plate decorated with tomatoes and ginger. Finally I managed to find one I recalled eating since I was a little girl, which was the white pomfret. So I simply chose the one that had the nicest skin. Hur, which turn out to be really fresh! According to my mom.*P.S that ain't the way to choose fish*

Well, the next day I decided to try my luck again, andthis time I thought my luck would come twice and boy was I wrong. I accidentally bought the imitation pomfret according to my mom again. It was uber fishy!!! and when I bought him he was still alive! I had to ask the staff to help me catch him. He was really hardy, didn't want to die dispite smacking him against the wall and slicing him... He still didn't give up after we dressed him up in tomato slices and brown bean paste, he was still pulsating!! Creepy...But he was yummy after he was steamed but left a really fishy after taste.

Today, I went back again, this time with the intention to try a different fish, turns out I bought the pomfret AGAIN by accident, this time I bought the black pomfret, which according to my mom is still in the family of pomfret and is not imitation, but thing is this guy is like the poor relative of a rich empire. I purchased the white pomfret at $6.80 and the imitation at $6.50 and this supposedly same family pomfret was $3.50. My mom followed to explain the price difference was due to the fact that no matter how fresh he is, he can only be fried, cause if you did try to steam him, it would be really stinky. I was like WHAT? He's cheaper cause he isn't tasty when steamed even though he like super tasty when fried????? Jeess...Looks like humans weren't the only species who has to deal with this society problems. Well, he was tasty after my mom fried him.

Thats all so far with regards to my fishy tales... Keep posted on my carbless diet..Its really not easy!
