Ups & downs.

Was browsing at pictures taken at Korea during our trip in 2010.
wow. I remember it was the year I went to four countries. My record already. Haha.
Taiwan for attachment, KL with le boyfriend, Korea with my family + aunt & cousin & lastly India (Chennai) for a study trip.
Wish those days didnt pass so fast.
Reminisce! Bad hair & complexion that period LOL.
Why I look fat last time huh??









Really memorable times.
Am hoping to go back to Korea someday! :)

Alright. The purpose of this blog entry is actually not about this.
Just happened to stumble upon the folder of pictures and thought how nice & peaceful it was.

Recently I faced some issues I found really depressing for me.
I wonder and think back, when was the last time I failed a paper?
If I did not remember wrongly, it was in year 1 of poly.
Then after year 2 & 3 was a different class. From there things became very competitve.
Not that I am trying to boost or anything but since then, getting an A is something the class work towards. And anything lower was unsatisfactory.

So imagine my disappointment when I saw my Math bridging results.
Yes, I failed this paper and am honest about it.
But thankfully I passed my Econs paper. Everyone knows having to take the econs module for one full year sucks and the exam paper is a killer.
But anyway, I have always been weak in Math. And I mean Additional Math and an even higher standard when it comes to Uni.
I didnt take this subject when I was in secondary school, therefore my foundation of it was very weak.

So SIM called me to confirm if I were to continue with my studies in UOL.
The devastating thing is that despite just failing half a module, I have to use three years to complete this degree.
So this '3 years' was what I was upset about and am so pissed with myself.
Why did I take the bridging in the first place for?
It is to shorten my length of study to 2 years. My school fees doesnt change much.
I only have to pay another 0.5 module.
And SIM-UOL just have to set weird rules like year 2 can only take 4 modules and year 3 max 5 modules.
FYI, I have a total of 9.5 modules to complete.
So it ends up in the case whereby now, for year 1 I gotta take 3.5 modules,
year 2 I can choose but probably I'll take only 3 modules and same goes to year 3.
Really slow pace.
Wondering if this is a good thing? But honestly a degree is important nowsdays. And it is quite common anyway.
So well, I guess I have to learn from what has happened and clean up this shit I gotten myself into.
3 years shall be it. I'll make sure to the best of my ability to score well. I can't guarantee anything, but watch me.
