I know it may seem a bit late for me to say this.. but regardless, it is still better late than never aint it? this is what i felt and get more appreciate of my past, where i grew up the most nowadays.. and definitely happy and have no regrets of it.. and i am happy to say that i am not the only one feeling this way.. because two of my besties.. now doing their masters at different universities, felt the same way...
yes, during then, we often complained of stress.. not having enough sleep, we stayed up till dawn for assignments, we struggle much because we have to cope with 6 modules in 15 weeks and yet, we all are kind of kiasu because we want to aim high and pass our modules with flying colours.. but thinking back, i definitely have no regrets now.. because those days exist, there is the me today.. much more able to cope with stress.. or rather, am i immune to it? at least, to date in work, i do not felt stress yet.. although there is a lot of work and i am constantly busy, especially with the current condition i am in.. not being well appreciated despite the effort i have invest in.. but i believe that one day, i will get what i deserve.. well my senior is like screaming stress a lot each day, but in my mind, she did not do much anyway.. i do not felt those are stress.. everyday, she complained of headache, backache and feel like vomiting.. but thats part of life.. if we dont learn to cope with stress.. how on earth is a person ever going to be successful??
proud to say that we have been very well trained.. ruomei called me the other day and cried, until the line got cut, the situation she is in now, i can understand quite well.. her groupmates are not even bothered with doing research and while she asked her groupmate to add point into her assignment, which is a mere two page report, instead of researching and add on, she changed her wording just to prolong it instead, which is totally unnecessary.. she sent me a copy of what her groupmate wrote in another assignment.. which i have read and formed a conclusion.. her english is quite good actually, but the way she wrote is like storytelling instead of a formal piece of assignment.. and the same girl claimed that she grew up in a very strict university at the netherlands, and she got offered for warwick, which i have witnessed how one of my best friend worked so hard just so she can get in there.. the first reaction i gave was those are all bullshit.. and the same girl do not know anything about harvard referencing, which i thought is supposed to be very standardised..
on the other hand, teng teng spoke to me online yesterday.. she sent me her assignment as well and i read it, it is good, she still keep her standard very well indeed.. but i did gave her some points from my perspective, it is up to her whether she will add on to it or not... which i understand now, even in a developing country like malaysia, is getting so cautious of CSR.. and a linkage between CSR and marketing strategy can actually be formed.. she complained that her groupmates, majority are british, are a nuisance as well, they like to presume her as if she cant speak english.. and did not do proper research as well and she often have to redo the entire report on her own.. but she said, sometimes she felt that she can write better english than them..and how lucky she is as compared to ruomei since her group projects do not carry marks.. see how nottingham had trained us? and i am ever so proud of it.. and my two friends here think the same way.. we are so proud to be nottingham graduates..
seems like i have been contacted by my besties a lot these days and i am super happy about it.. the two above, and from high school, they thought of organising a gathering and although i am not a science stream person, i was their classmates once, in lower secondary, so they told me to join once they have it planned.. and cinny text me this morning to ask about cpa.. which i will register myself next week.. this create the opportunity for both of us to study together and can discuss again.. so happy.. hurray!! karyee is now facing her two final papers in acca and she is quite stress.. all the best and good luck to her.. she will get her answer from kpmg next week.. whether eventually, she will get the job or not.. she remains pessimistic about it.. keep saying she will not get, and somehow, my instinct is that, she will, no doubt, get it, worse come to worse, it will be a conditional offer.. after all, the company is cutting cost now and if they can get an acca graduate first hand, why not?
that is what i think la.. hahhahah.. so happy and proud that i am a nottingham graduate.. nottingham rocks!!! =) and i miss you so much.. i miss the classes.. the modules.. some of the lecturers, my room where i strive most of the time, the computer labs.. the library and above all.. the lake where i used to jog and destress.. i remember the when the wind blows, and i felt it on my face.. i can suddenly thought to soloutions to resolve my worries or they will just disappear, automatically without my trying hard to forget it.. dear nottingham malaysia where i spent four years of my life in.. where it had changed me from an ignorant silly teenager to a mature and more capable adult.. i missed you and love you always.. and thank you ever so much for giving me an opportunity to meet the best friends ever in my life.. those are the friends i definitely want to keep forever.. my sisters in soul..
