Failed my driving licence test today, and failed so badly. I wasn’t too upset abt the fact that I failed, I did make those u
cessary, stupid and dangerous mistakes. I am most upset about the attitude of the person that tested me. He was so unfriendly and his comments weren’t encouraging me to be better but they were putting me down. Maybe he holds something against my driving instructor since they didn’t really talk (the guy was chatting more with another driving instructor there..). I am also upset that it costs me $122 just for the lesson and the test! It costs me $70 to use my instructor’s car for the test and then $52 for 1.5 lesson, it’s not worth it. My instructor is a nice person and good teacher too, but I think I’ve payed him too much. Maybe I’ll find a cheaper one later, oh I don’t know, just feeling upset.. and kinda stuck with 9031 assignment too.. darn. will play dota now, to release the anger within.

it’s 1.11am, should go to bed soon.. eyes are tired from watching the monitor, been staring monitor from work till home (doin assignment)..
monday will take driving test..
tomorrow will do assignment again..
wa
a get java certification, why the book hasn’t arrived?

As with most students, I too have to face the problem of choosing subjects to do this session. My selection is limited by my commitments such as working, interest in the subject and usefulness of the subject for life.

Sigh, I am not really interested in most of the subjects offered by CSE, I think I’ll be doing COMP9031 and COMP9318. 9318 lecturer got an accent that makes it really hard for me to follow what he’s saying (and to keep awake in his lectures). COMP9031 will probably teach only a little thing about Java that I can’t learn myself or have already learned before. After hearing 9031 lecturer, I don’t think he’s expert with Java anyway, but at least he communicates clearly.

All the years spent in CSE, only a number of subjects that really got me interested, the ones that I can remember are: COMP2041, COMP4001, COMP9314, COMP3311. hm hm..

It’s 3 more weeks before I am taking time off from working. 4 weeks before the wedding itself. Few more days for the Bach’s party. Stresfull, feeling lost at times.

Been quite into reading Kiyosaki’s books lately, in particular “A guide to investing”. I was very excited reading the book at first, the first few chapters were very motivational, however I find the book is getting more and more dragging on the middle. Kiyosaki does talk big about himself (and his dad), a thought come in my mind, if he and his dad are really that succesful surely their name would have been famous for the richess (like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet or Bill Gates), a quick googling on kiyosaki landed this site
I think I believe that report, I have to admit that Kiyosaki does sound dodgy at times. Surely by reading his books you would learn a thing or two in terms of finance, but if you are serious in wanting to learn, your money better spent on other books (of which I haven’t got one to recommend). Or better still borrow the books from Kiyosaki fanatics, like what I’ve done :> Got two books to read.
Hhh.. maybe investing my time and effort to please God would be more worthwhile, but oh the tempation, the desire to be secure, comfortable and rich. Hope to crucify them fully to the cross.
