formal cancellation
Sunday, May 10, 2009

have I mentioned how horrid the weather is like these days? It's either pouring like mad with no apparent "warning" before hand, or it's the sun right at your face, causing your body to run a internal waterfall or some kind on its own. It stinks, especially when your eyes has to adjust to the glare all the time, causing it to be half-closed and leaving us to frown through the enitre thing. And just when you think it's too hot, or when you're finally comfortable with the climate...

...it starts to pour, all of a sudden, with no warning. Seriously, I left my home with the sun in my face, and when I got to Clementi MRT station, the wind was howling, the floor was slippery, my hair was messed up, and well, it was pouring once again. I purposely left my unbrella at home, because on that day, I would like to have thought it wasn't going to rain. But it happened. And I left my umbrella at home, with the romantic notion of how it was going to be a fine day.

I took a bus from the station to the campus, and waited at the bus stop for the rain to die down. As it died down, Safiquah (is that how you spel?) alighted from one of the buses, and we both just walked to OFA lesson. We were late, but Ms. Mahani understood. That's one nice thing about the lecturers here -they're fair in a real-world kind of way.

Friday's POA lesson was the day we would have our second POA test, on Ledger Accounts. This too, I was pretty confident of, until Deja Vu striked: I was dumbfounded by the first question again. It was to calculate the capital of the proprietor. Many of the classmates started throwing questions at Ms Cynthiya, because the paper we got was rather unfamiliar, and some transactions were just pain foreign. We hadn't been thought on how to deal with them yet. More questions were thrown, and Ms Cynthiya stood up, started waving her left hand in the air, and said:

"You know what? I think all of you will fail this test..."
"okay, no more...no test...this test is cancelled. As of now, this test is formally cancelled!"

It was after she explained how to calculate the capital with the accounting equation I finally saw the picture. But still, the test paper we got, was still very deviated from what we have been doing thus far. It was just wayy too foreign; the first transaction was unheard of.

We were given some time to discuss with our classmates and to digest what exactly was expected of the test's questions. Some people said they wanted to give up, because they didn't understand. I would have love to just ignore this test as a whole after the cancellation, but Ms Cynthiya said this was how our CA paper was going to be like. And that CA paper is 20% of our grade for this module. I understand what the test was about now, but for people who still can't...don't give up! (yes Hazirah, it's you!) It's simple understanding, and once that's down -application is ez.

POA ended earlier than usual, as Ms Cynthia didn't want to teach anything new, she just wanted to conduct that test. So, we were dismissed at around 12.30PM. I got a call from the Entreprenuer's club yesterday evening about a orientation that was going to be held at 1PM on Friday. So, I had my lunch, and reported to the venue.

No one else from my class, SC, joined this club. I don't really get why, but anyway, I was interested in it, and so I chose it. After we went up to the ETP's room (which is kinda cozy actually), I realized that majority of the people in the club were girls, and I was the only guy to join straight from a higher Nitech course. So, this bunch of girls, all of them from the Hospitality course (gee, didn't we all see that one coming?). It was kinda...paiseh, in a way, to talk to more girls than guys during the orientation, but I got along. Hospitality was my first choice, and out of curiosity, I ask one of the girls, how many guys were there in their class.

"6!"
...
thank god I didn't end up in there.

each one of these girls gave themselves nicknames of some sort, and all of these girls, gave themselves a guy's nickname, and actually wanted to be addressed by it. These names included names like Raymond, Allan, Taufik, and even Joseph. "Joseph" is the same age as me! (majority of the people I know in school are older)

I must have been shy or something, because I got quiet towards the end of the orientation. I didn't know why.

But still, overall, i'd the the club, they are definitely the welcoming kind. Too bad it's dominated by girls. Funny, i've always looked at business/entrepreneurship as a guy's thing (ever looked at New York?). Still, I would have preferred to just go home after Friday's morning school. We were dismissed at around 4PM.

and now...
