Round two of my bidding for my next term's module has ended, and i've only managed to get 2 mods. I need at least 4 mods for next sem. Inflation has not only hit the commodities market, but also the modules market. All my 'savings' from year 1 has been eroded away by this ruthless inflation. I'm partly (actually wholly) to blame for this debacle. I like to under bid so as to 'save up' for courses that i really want to take. However, this time the strategy has backfired as i missed 3 of my bids ranging from a few cents to a few dollars. I should have just bidded higher and saved myself all the agony of not having classes to take....
Bored stiff in the office. There's only so many annual report or articles you can read. Sitting in a same cubicle from 8.30am counting down to 5.3o pm is no fun. As the internship is ending in 3 weeks time, no new work is coming to me as they are worried about unfinished business when i leave. Hiaz...and now not only do i feel miserable, i felt stupid too.
Found this quiz online, and i spent about 45min on it and i still can't solve it...stupid and have low perseverance level....

haha this quiz is quite silly but yet profound.
the answer is that you cannot be sure who has the fish cause it never mentioned anything about a fish! its just normal to assume that the fish belongs to that guy (after solving it) when he could in fact have any other pet.
no wonder Einstein said that only 2% of people can solve this question. Most of us just go headlong into problems without taking time to take a step back.
