Finals : I dont care for em.

As students we all face this time of the year. Final's week. The time where all you have done over the course of the year (or 6 months depending if your in a university, like me tee hee xD ) will be examined, judged, looked over and if the scraps of knowledge you have left on the paltry piece of paper are deemed fit enough to prove that you have indeed learnt enough of this particular subject, you are awarded the status of pass and are promoted to higher levels of knowledge.

Now It is my greatest misfortune that i am studying in a course that i do not like. Engineering as said in "3 idiots" has never been my wife/girlfriend/mistress/loved one/cuccy kuchy coo person/crush/soul mate you name it. It has always been someone i like seeing with other people, not with me. However my mother wanted me to be with engineering and to honor her wishes i got in to my current university  Adios my one true love, being a chef (i miss you too gaming. Oh i would never cheat on Manchester united, you are above and beyond everything. So you tonight, rooting for you to win against west brom :D )

While i have gone with the tried and trusted words of This man who said

"I don't care for exam because a single sheet of paper cant decide my future"

while i don't actually like Mister Thomas Edison, (more on that in a later) he does have a point. I elaborate this with an example.
We have subject A, student that has worked hard all term and does everything right. He studies 90 out of 100 questions from the exam courses, the exam consists of those 10 questions that he didn't do. While his friend did only those 10 questions and has no clue what the course is even about. Who will pass and then judge who deserves to pass.

Until exam system's change they wont matter much and even if they do you have no guarantee that coming first or failing in exams will effect your future. I give you my personal example. I have dragged through all the semesters in my university (there is a reason i'm called panda ^_^ i'm dead lazy :P ). my study plan is spending the semester doing whatever i want (its basically sleep :P ) and on finals week i move to my friends hostel, i closely watch what they study and learn and i reproduce that on the exam, with devastating effect (thank you god for giving me a really great memory and a larger then normal IQ (more on that too later :P ) i have passed all my exams with 70-75% marks EXCEPT for those courses i actually fell in love with. Programming. I didn't even work hard in the exam prep day's and i still got 97 out of 100 in both courses. i have a part time job as a program designer (helps with the pocket money :) ) and if i dont pursue my dream of being a chef, i'll still have a decent option to fall back on, despite being more then average in my studies.

I often say this to my friends, If you love what you do and you do what you love, you will never feel like working a day of your life. Your job will feel like your hobby :) and its what i plan to do. What about you. Tell me what you want to be and why :)

i might not update much during the next 2 weeks cuz even though i coast through the exam periods i still have to work hard (rolls eyes -_- i hate working hard ) so take care till then. 

Panda-liciously yours ;)

A boxing day worth remembering.

#Daily review post:

As a non Christian panda the only joy i have too look forward to about boxing day is the round of midweek premier league matches it brings (Lets beat Newcastle, Manchester United <3 ). However when i woke up today i had no idea things would turn out this great.

A slow start to the day saw me nailing my Programming project ( I made a computer game, i iz a genius 8| ) and then had lunch with my best friend and sister :) however the best part was yet to come. You see our university batch had arranged a farewell for our seniors and i couldn't go because i had classes "sob sob :'( " however since my entire batch left there classes to go there, i was the only dude in the class and was excused non the less. I GOT TO GO TO THE PARTY :D

A bit bummed that my bestie couldn't join us but non the less it was insanely awesome time with my friends. Amazing time with bucks, Harry, Hamza and Ahmed. And then the crowning jewel of the night.

THE WAY WE STOLE THE DINNER! :D

plates of food sent disguised as food for teachers were smuggled inside and then devoured with the unnatural aggression and enthusiasm that is Unparalleled. And i enjoyed every minute of it.
And then i had my match to look forward to. A roller coaster of a ride if i ever seen any. United winning it 4-3 in the 92nd minute. Winning late and not giving up are in the soul of this football club. Yelled so hard i think ive hurt my throat. Worth it though.

I have a lot of projects and assignments to work on but at this point, all the energy i had i spent in writing this blog post. My dear bed awaits, all warm and cozy, beckoning me towards it like a lover trying to seduce her love. And who am i to deny her what is rightfully her's for the night ;)

How was your wacky Wednesday and boxing day people? I'd love to hear all about it. Comment below on what you found interesting and what made your boxing day special. :)

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Pandaman :)

P.s this is one of my many post style. as mentioned by the # sign. every post is like a different version of me :)

New beginnings

I'm not gonna lie like "Oh i'm so hip, i just started blogging now unlike when it was soooo hyped" This is my old blog. I just changed the name because now i have turned from a panda cub to a mature panda stud :P

I've started writing on the saying of a very special friend. I'm Pretty sure its going to be only her that reads this post but then again, she is pretty special. Oh wait I've written that already.

What i see in this blog is a means for me to write about what's important to me, what i would want to change in the world, share what i do everyday. While i grew up, our parents always encouraged us to write diaries (it helped with written english and stuff like that. worked well though, i got a decent write on me xD ). The thing is all my cousins kept diaries but they would have huge chains and padlocks and combinations on em. It felt like i was in the pentagon surfing for secrets. Me? i kept a copy left over from the previous class and i just scribbled everyday stuff in there. Now one day my cousins found it out and they were like "Oh Panda! (obviously i'm not gonna write my real name here :P ) all your secrets are in here, we are gonna read (that sounds lame doesn't it o.O ) and i just thought, you can read, there not secrets, what i wrote in my diary was who i was, what i did everyday, what i stood for.

In this blog i find the similarity to my old diary a lot, difference is now instead of cousins picking up and reading it, Anyone can. That also means that i get the chance to touch a lot more lives. :)

Looking forward to that. And looking forward to sharing a bit of my life and hearing a lot from you guys.

Adorably your's
Panda man.

P.s My grammar sucks. But that is what happens when your black/white/Asian :P

P.s.s I'm never serious. my humor side never shuts down. This is just the beginning 8|
