Lappie finally home

I finally can get my hands on my dearly missed laptop again. It has been in the repairs for almost 3 weeks now, and it was really kind of hard to get used too without having it by my side. But i still want to give thanks that at least it didn't die on me when i was in Melbourne, or i would really have been miserable.

Anyway, been rather busy at work lately. Due to the departure of our Graphic Designer-without even informing, we have to outsource our articles to another Graphic Designer, so we have to rush out our articles and get it done quick. Suddenly so many things to do, but now i just hope my interviewee will agree to my interview request. Time is ticking so i do not have much time left, please pray!

Oh, and through the week, i suddenly realised that God has been very good to me. You guys know that i applied this internship through the internet, and i never even went for the interview, but i got accepted. I always thought this was just a lousy job with no one applying that's why i got it. However, i was proven wrong. Just two days ago, a handful of people came for interviews, and my boss took no one. Can you believe it? People that came down did not get accepted, but I whom my boss did not even interview actually accepted me? And i remembered on the first day i went for work, the staff there were shocked that i didn't go through an interview as well. Through all this that happened, i strongly believe that God answered my prayer and provided this internship for me, at the perfect timing too; so that i can get my report back to Australia in time.

Will be uploading pictures soon, please be patient, so tired now, goodnight = )

so stupid

Updates on my appeal. In the first place, there was no need for an appeal at all. I sent an email asking my lecturer for the reason of my failure for my report, and he sent me back all the marks for my various assignments. To my horror, i saw a 0/15 for my presentation!! I seriously don't know if its his handwriting or what, but he gave me a 10 on my marksheet. And i actually passed my final 40% proposal writing report, and i am proud to say i did better than expected too! Haha thanks to those that helped me proof read and all = )

Ok, anyways back to topic. So i e-mailed him and told him to check my marks for my presentation properly because i seriously didn't fail, but he replied me that in his records it was really a 0. So he requested me to send my marksheet to him for verification, but my marksheet is all the way in Melbourne. I tried to mention some stuff hoping it will bring some memory back to him, which i think might have work, cause he told me to send him my presentation slides and tools used during the presentation as proof. I did so, and he replied me telling me that he would accept those materials as partial proof, and take my word for it that i got a 10. What the heck, makes it seem like i was trying to cheat for this 10 marks. I never fail to get goosebumps at the thought of "failing" when in actual fact i did not. Can you imagine if i didn't e mail him at all to ask him about my grade and reason for failing? I might have just applied for a near pass and got the wrong grade. Thank God that he actually unveil the truth to me. I remember when i saw my fail mark, i was praying to God that please let my near pass get through, or just let my lecturer have a change of heart and give me 4 more marks to pass. But what's new, God gave me more than i asked for. This goes to show that sometimes he says no to your request just to give you something better. Amen to that, and thanks to everyone for your concern!

I got lots of pics to uplaod, but i still haven't got my lappie back from the repair, so its just words for now, sorry! Oh and i saw Jacelyn Tay today! Haha went as the "photographer" together with my collegue that interviewed her, and gosh she is pretty. Definitely not like those bimbo actress you see around; she studied econs at NUS, and is super nice and friendly. Managed to take a pic with her as well. Will try to post it up soon k? That's all for now, stay happy everyone!

Results

I got back my results and i really failed that stupid English module. I seriously do not know what went wrong, and why i still failed my last report. My tutor still hasn't sent out my assng to me, and it has been 10 days! When i called, he said he was still waiting for another about 4 people to pass him the envelopes before he will send all at one shot. I was like what the....I also appealed to him to ask him to review my paper and see if he would be kind enough to give my my 4 marks needed to pass. Furthermore, i don't think my report is that bad and deserves a fail.

The funny thing is, i got a High Distinction for my Editing for Print module, but i failed my Advanced Professional Writing, and both are focusing on Englishy stuff. What an irony. But in the worse case, i can still apply to the ARTS office for a Near Pass grade that would allow me graduate successfully still. Its just that 'flaw' in my transcript that makes me feel so irritated. This is not even a examinable subject, and you don't even really need to have knowledge in a particular study to do the assignments. They are basically stuff like writing a proposal, or instruction manual kind of thing. That's why i find it such a waste to fail this subject.

However, i must thank God for the peace that i have been failing. From waiting for the result, to actually seeing the result, i didn't exactly feel terrible. Somehow i feel that everything will be alright, and from sermons that i have been to, it seems that God is trying to prepare me for the worst.

For now please pray that God may soften the heart of my English tutor for that 4 more marks, or may my appeal for the Near Pass grade be quick and successful. Oh and another reason that i don't feel lousy is because my parents didn't blame me or scold me. They took the news well, and just went on to say "go appeal" haha. So thank God for the response, and the peace, Amen!

Darn laptop

I have many things to update since i returned to Singapore, but my stupid laptop died on me the day i returned thus explaining the lack of updates. To keep it short, i went to the zoo the next day after i landed on Singapore grounds, started work the day after, met up with the poly darlings on Friday, and my church babe Suye today. Got so much to tell you guys about work and stuff, also pictures of course, but without the laptop everything is just so inconvenient because this stupid desktop of mine is so slow..................... I will try to use someone elses laptop to update so be patient for now = )
