Pass the Human Development Module - TICKED!

We ALL passed! can you imagine? i am sooooooo glad! they said some are worrying though, but we dont know who and we havent got the mark yet as The Muro has been busy outstation-ing the whole may. They said it will be released these few days.

I am just happy i dont have to go thru that again...as much as i think development econ is a lot of reading, double that and you will get the HD references. and NO, i am not kidding or exagerating as i am wont to do.

ok, gotta go. have to finish the assignment analysing market integration of bangladeshi rice - yeah, fun fun fun! NOT! (too many numbers!)

sicilia - 1st to 5th may

Finalmente!

There are 2 things that i MUST do in sicily.

1. go up the stromboli and watch her unearth her love-a, and
2. take secrets photos of the dead cappuchini monks.

The rest are welcome! Can hardly wait.

Quantitative Techniques

When my sister scored A3 for her 1119 when she was 17, my mom was soooooo happy. two years later i scored the same and she said, "A3? that's ok i guess". i always have that moment in my head when i am feeling insecure.

Last week we received the result of the QT (statistics la tu) exam. I got the same for Quantitative Technique as i got for development econ. But unlike before, when i was so happy that i scored as much, this time i was ok with it, but unsatisfied.

I finally understood my mother's statement. We just know that this achievement is achievable, we probably could have done better :)

nasi bungkus ayam korma

A thread on fb with old friends reminded me of an incident while growing up. we were in university and money was a very limited commodity. because we receive scholarships, we were usually quite well-heeled early in the term, but come end of the term, we were usually 'kering' (dried up).

one day, during one of those lean times, neng and i calculated our money and realised we had about RM1.60 for lunch today - that's rice and one chicken. we decided that we were hungry and the solution would be to be totally shameless - we were going to share one nasi bungkus.

we went to the canteen and lined up. plate, paper, and plastic liner in hand we went to the rice bucket. took a whole mole hill of rice, plus lots of korma gravy and one piece of skinny chicken. the guy behind the counter shook his head at our nasi bungkus because he couldnt even wrap it up. we paid the RM1.60, took it up to neng's room to eat.

that was one of the best meal i have ever had.

Happy to report that we got our results for the Development Economics modules and yours truly is very very happy with her achievement. Not the best, mind you, but satisfactory. Yay! Thank you, God!
