| It's my first time receiving my results at home. For all the previous exam sittings, I have always received the results while still at college and would only be able to retrieve them after classes. However, this time I reached home early and was literally watching the clock tick as it countdowns to 0500 GMT which means 1 p.m. The ACCA website was barely inaccessible but I noticed that ACCA have moved the results page to another server to reduce the load on the server, a good move indeed.
Towards 1p.m. I was sweating very heavily and was desperately trying to login. The moment I managed to login, the results was despatched to my email as well.
I opened the email and to my horror...

What happened to my audit marks, only God knows, I just couldn't believe it.
If you read my comments on the papers I attempted last exam sitting, I concluded that the paper was well attempted and I really had high confidence in my audit paper among all 3 papers attempted, but when the results came out, it didn't seem to be the case. Considering the fact that F8 paper had the lowest passing rate among all the Fundamental ACCA papers, I guess that explains the correlation.

| I have not been playing any Tower Defense game on PC since Warcraft 3 and the Starcraft 2 Tower Defense Flash game is really one which is challenging and fun. I could not finish the last level even on 'easy' mode. I am actually addicted to this Flash game that I spent my entire Saturday playing it.

Try it out - loading might be slow, just hit the F5 key a couple of time.

| Between James Bond and Chuck Norris, who is better? The answer is Jack Bauer. I can only describe Jack Bauer as an US James Bond minus the coolness (and woman) coupled with the brutalilty of Chuck Norris.
For those of you who don't know yet. Jack Bauer is a characted in the TV Series 24. 24 is a show where every second in the show is equal to every second in 'reality'. That means that in an 1 hour episode (45 mins less the commercials), it actually shows the events which took place during that particular 1 hour during the day. As there are 24 hours in a day, that translates to 24 episodes in 24 - that's a season (or a 'Day'). The best part is, now that the show is already into its '8th day', it still amazes me that Jack Bauer needs no sleep and is still killing people every 'hour' in the show. Probably the only break he gets is 15 mins an hour (during the commercial breaks)
Just to share his brutality, this YouTube video belows shows all the people he killed in just a week, that includes saving the world twice from nuclear bomb. What have you done in 7 days?
Click Read more to read some 'Fun facts' on Jack Bauer which will makes lots of sense only if you watch 24.

| Yet another blog post on mouse. Last time, it was about the ancient mouse, this time it's about the melted mouse. Apparently my brother left his Dell optical mouse on the dashboard and left the car under the scorching sun for 3 hours. When he returned, this is what happened to his mouse.

Looks cool eh? Somehow the new 'design' looks more ergonimical. Hey, is my mouse covered by Dell Complete Cover?

| Kim Jong Il is the great leader of North Korea. A very controversial leader, practising a dictator style. But did my eyes play tricks on me or he actually paid a surprise visit to Malaysia, Petaling Street? Look at this picture taken from the front page of TheStar on 12th February 2009.

Compare this with photos of Kim Jong Il found on the Internet

Definitely a close resemblance, same hair style, similar spectacle, similar clothing
