wanted to look for Ms Ng today but she was not at home. so i went to get myself a manicure and pedicure instead! haha had nail art done aso coz it was part of the package. got a very pretty daisy on my thumb hehe. yea was waiting for my nails to dry when i realised dat oops TM is so close to TP i shudn’t be there or i might juz meet ppl i dun wanna meet. but too late. luckily onli saw jolyn and joli. hehe it was nice to see old friends again, and she mentioend dat she juz saw jx aso but i din see him anywhere.

aniweas my results are all out. hm okie lah, average, tho for Stats and Comms i actualli expected much betta. but i’m juz glad i actualli passed my MA, no not the juz-passed kinda grade but a average pass grade, thank goodness. now i owe some1 a treat for giving me last min tuition. thank heavens for friends. think my GPA shld be betta oreadi lah..but erm still not in the honours range yet i think. hai~ aniweas while studyin for MA, i realised dat mebbe i shldn’t be so honest?

for MA, we hv quizzes as one of the components dat mk up the whol module. altogether we had 3 quizzes this term and it’s open book and the invigilator is our TA who juz normally hands out the papers, sit at the computer, and collects the papers at the end. so at the end of the term, i hate dat ppl copied durin the quizzes. like i heard dat this fren copied and it was kinda surprising coz i din think she was the kind of person. and another fren was juz tellin me, for the last quiz, “oh see XX copied this qn from me so she got correct. but this qn even tho she copied from me, she later changed her ans, so she got it correct but i din.” he can juz say it so casually w/o batting an eyelid.

and i was juz thinking, why din i copied ans as well? i shld juz hv done it, den my overall quiz grade would be so much higher, and the overall grade for the course would be so much betta too. i mean, okie so copying ans during tests means u’re dishonest, no integrity blah blah. but i mean, wat BS. so wat if i’m dishonest with no integrity? at the end of the day, wat employers see is my grade, my degree. if other ppl are doin this to mk their grades betta, and look betta to employers, why shld i let them gain an unfair advantage? i would juz lose out in the end rite? but well, it was too late by then coz all my quizzes were over. and aniweas, when i look back, i think dat even if i had thought of copyin, i still wouldn’t be able to bring myself to do it. he actualli suggested why dun i copy when i told him dat i would prolly get 0 for the quiz, but i juz felt dat it’s juz not me, and aso partly coz u hv to copy from dat some1 else, and dat some1 else knoes the secret dat u’re dishonest and u nv knoe when dat some1 else could juz backstab u in the back. sometimes u juz can’t trust ppl, esp if everyone is tryin to get to the top. aniweas aft all dat’s said and done, i dun think dat i would do it, and i hope i wouldn’t be so desperate dat i would do it in future. oh wells, at least at the end of the day, my overall grade ain’t dat bad, and it’s something dat i achieved thru my hard work, albeit a little last min.
