Monday, 24th January 2011...

Unlucky start to the day. Took bus 27 to school and I had to stand near the door as it was full. Decided to stop outside IKEA and change to bus 168 as I never encountered a bus 168 that has no seats. That was, until today, which was my first encounter. Stood near the door again. ZZZ.

Just as bus 168 reached the bus stop I normally alight, bus 23 came in front of bus 168. Luckily, I managed to caught it. Ironically, I was standing by the door again...

CRA tutorial was 90 minutes long. Had lunch and played monopoly deal after that. The ironic part of it was we had a Taxation class test on that afternoon. Wenbin won the first and I won 3 straight games after that. Wenbin won the next round again, breaking my 3 consecutive wins streak and Jiong Zhen picked up a win in the final round. Allen had an unlucky hand today. At around 2pm, only Jiong Zhen, Wenbin and I went for IF tutorial while the rest went to the Library to study Tax.

All was present for the tutorial except Allen, Jiamin and Michelle. Even had a student from another class whom I guess that he missed his original IF lesson.

Studied Taxation all the way after that.

Taxation test without my calculator. My calculator was borrowed by Zhen Hua on Friday, who in turn lent it to his friend for the Accounting test. My bro needs his calculator while my sis's calculator battery went flat. Bought a battery during the weekend so it was not a problem. WIll only get back this Friday, or maybe next Friday as Zhen Hua's lesson from Monday to Thursday are in Sentosa and his schedule and mine dont see eye to eye.

Well, people always say not to change your answer based on your first thought and impression. This is the problem with me, always changing my correct answer to the wrong one.

Test was from 4.40pm to 5.40pm and because reading time was at 4.30pm, I thought that the paper is until 5.30pm. Rushed all the way and when the clock hits 5.30pm, I managed to complete. Oh but there is still 10 minutes left. Checked my work.

Changed the hire purchase answer from deducting interest to without deducting as it feels right to do it. But reading through it again and again makes me wonder whether did I make a mistake by changing. Taking into account all the encounters in the past where I changed to the wrong answer, I presumed this was wrong and changed back to the original answer.

After the test, while discussing, I realised that my final answer was the wrong one? That was because only a handful did the same as me. This led me to a conclusion. The problem is not whether should I change or not. It is because no matter how much and how many times I changed, I will always end up with the wrong answer. OMG!!!

Exam time table is out. 4 out of 5 papers are in TCC> The only test I had in TCC was CMA1 main paper. I slept for 1 hour the night before and my grades plummeted from a coursework grade of "A", to an overall "B", meaning that I scored a "C" or below for the main paper. Hope I can break this curse.
