It's Sept. my god.

It's September.
My thesis will be due in less than 7 weeks.
Progress? well.... not much writing though...

Had been busy with data entry... AGAIN.... after we found that there are actually not much significant results from our regressions... which is a really bad news, Nahid suggested that we increase our sample size coz we can't just say something like.. ermm.. we found no relationship between dividend policy and ownership concentration with no empirical support. Was running between UTS library and state library last weekend to key in the data and finally my sample size increases from 800++ firms to almots 2500firms...urghh.. typing nonstop for the whole day makes my neck and back pain... but the problems do not just end there. Tried to run the regression today and found no relationship AGAIN! Had a long chat with Nahid to sort things out but no conclusion is made. Nahid said he'll try to run it himself and see how after that. So basically, I can do nothing but wait at the mean time. But this doesn't mean that i can have some free time to waste, mid term exams and assignments are coming soon in 2 weeks time. And I've promised to do some exam supervision during the midterm exam week, so basically, everything is coming together... really tight. Time management... time management....

Starting to get used to working in the school office. Although picking up phone calls still make me stupid... well well... I just can't catch up with some English accent and fast speaker. And the namess... i can't spell their surnamessss...... phewwww.... Greeting becomes easier as you get to see the same person every week... Talking the strangers are not something new as students always came in for enquiries... But i have to admit that speaking English is hard, and i always find myself 'eating' up words in my sentences... blame my bad english for finding making sentences the most difficult part of speaking... I've never been talking so much English since I came Sydney (told you that Sydney is just another asian city) ...

Graduan Malaysian Career Fair will be held this saturday, which means i can't go to work again on Saturday.. and we've got plans on Mooncake Festival on Sunday... so I can't replace my shifts on Sunday... wonder if my boss started to feel my frequent absences after I started working in the school. The whole problem is that i can't work more than 20 hours a week... Ishh... Anyway, back to the career fair. I've got smarter this year by sending in my resume earlier and got 3 scheduled interviews on Friday. 10.15am for Philip Morris, 12noon for Bank Negara and 230pm for Securities Commission. Don't ask me if I'm going to stay or going back.... I don't have any clue... Just to gain more interviews practise... and the invitation from Bank Negara to their dinner on Saturday... haih.... guess what I'm worrying the most........ CLOTHES.... I don't really have a nice dress or what so ever... not even a proper office wear to go for interviews... and I really cant find anytime to go for shopping.... god.... please make my day 48 hours... why do shopping malls close at 5pm???? haihhhh.....

more updates on the interviews on Friday soon...

*fingers crossed*
