Short semester is supposed to be a chill and easy-to score semester, but ended up reality proves me wrong (insert "crying" whatsapp sticker here). It was a pretty hectic due to recruitment but unproductive semester. I wasn't very satisfied with my performance, stress management and time management. Could've practiced a healthier and more disciplined lifestyle, but I chose to be lazy and always. Guess my body is telling me to take a break and rest? How I wish I could've a longer break to rest. Problem with short sem is, I didn't even understand what I was taught, then the sem ended! Another hell sem is waiting ahead for me. Trying my best to not die.
Personal Financial Planning (PFP)
This elective subject caught my eye immediately when I was researching on my course structure. Being financially free is everyone's goal, whether or not one is aware of it. The syllabus covers a wide range of areas which provide a great insight into financial planning and the knowledge we've gained is probably more useful than what we learnt from our ACCA textbooks. Most importantly, it has raised our awareness on the importance of managing our finance properly, which I believe many people have failed to do so due to lack of relevant information.
My lecturer is a good story teller who has shared many real life cases of her cousins (you couldn't tell how big her family is) and her experience as an insurance agent. But I didn't score A for her subject! It was definitely a huge waste of chance to improve my CGPA! This subject is comparatively easier than my core subjects but I couldn't score it! This is the main reason that made me mad at myself, luckily it doesn't affect my CGPA that much.
After self reflection, I realize I didn't handle my stress properly during my exam period. I was over worried about my ACCA external examinations but I didn't take action immediately to buck up, instead I escaped from reality by sleeping or just procrastinating. I couldn't concentrate during studying too as I was worrying about my team's preparation for P&G CEO Challenge (again over worried). The root cause is my tendency to over worried and failure to address it immediately. Have to be more alert on this so that my performance won't be affected adversely :(
Anyway, A- is not that bad, and I've gained more than that during my exam period. I would write more about that in my next post.
Contemporary Malaysian Issues (CMI)
This is a MPU subject which I have totally no idea what had happened during the whole semester. I attended two hours class on Monday morning for seven consecutive weeks, wrote and presented an "interesting" fake life experience, copied and pasted other's opinions in Google Classroom. Then I scored the highest in class. Wow.
I was looking forward to the debate session on current issues, but the subject structure is rather disappointing. Instead of giving us a chance to exchange ideas in class, we are required to post our opinions at Google Classroom when we are physically sitting in the classroom. There isn't any room that encouraged us to think critically on current issues, yet we are neither asked to present our opinion nor our tutor coached us on how to evaluate an issue critically.
In our era, critical and independent thinking are significant because we receive tons of information from internet daily but we fail to process or interpret them. People speak without thinking, support their belief without reasonable justification, spout about one's opinion. It's pretty hard to meet someone who think. Even I myself am lazy at times.
In conclusion, this semester should be a chill and easy one but I screwed up! Gotta learn from mistakes and move on to my final semester, the final chapter in my university life.
