Adventures in PSP I nv told
If u're reading my blog, stand up, tag and be counted :)
I guess i have to post more popular entries other than how i am preparing for my prelims.
Rencently, even petty goh got himself an ipod touch.
i have decided to show u what my psp can do and ur ipod touch can't.
that is.. play my favourite game, Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning 11)
I am now into my 4th season of master league, using blackburn rovers.
My honours are as follow:
Season 1, 2008: Division 2 Champions, Division 2 Cup (Difficulty: Normal)
Season 2, 2009: Division 1 Champions, Division 1 Cup (Difficulty: Normal)
Season 3, 2010: Division 1 Champions, Division 1 Cup, European Champions (Difficulty: Professional)
Season 4, 2011: Still playing (Difficulty: Top Player)
This is currently my best 11.
Other notable 'Real' players that I have are: Theo walcott, Mauro Zarate, Hamit Altintop, Carlos Vela, Aaron Ramsey, Altidore
and PES 2009 wonderkids: Nikamp, Kobayashi, Gambino, Kruger
I shall show u a few players in my team
1. Bradley "The new Roy Keane"
Nationality: English
Age: 19 as of 2011
Bradley joined Blackburn at the start of the 2009 season as a young 17 year old defensive midfielder with an eye for goal.
Still only 19, he has developed into 1 of the best hard-tackling defensive midfielder in the world with a canon on his right leg.
Tipped to be the future england captain.
2. Sergio 'kun' Aguero
Nationality: Argentinian
Age: 23
Nicknamed 'Kun' because his of his hairstyle that looked like Japanese anime character "Kum Kum".
Enjoyed meteoric rise to stardom at Atheltico Madrid, flourishing in his partnership with Diego forlan.
The sort of form convinced manager Simon Tay to part with 20 million for the striker.
Since joining Blackburn at the start of the season, he has settled in immediately, scoring some spectacular solo goals and has formed a deadly partnership with fellow argentininan lionel messi.
Aguero's deadly partnership with lionel messi.
3. Lionel Messi
Nationality: Argentinian
Age: 24
In August 2011, it was reported that Blackburn pulled off a stunning transfer coup in the signing of Lionel Messi from Barcelona. Signed for an undisclosed fee after his fall out with Barcelona manager Guardiola, Simon Tay described it as the biggest transfer of the season.
Tormenting opposition defence with his pace and silky dribbling, he has been instrumental in Blackburn's charge for the Quintruple.
He will be fondly remembered for scoring 1 and setting up another for star Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato in this season's Champions League Quarter final against Liverpool.
4. Guimaraes
Nationality: Brazilian
Age: 20
Flying right back Guimaraes joined blackburn at the start of the 2010 season from a non league team in brazil.
Having impressed manager Simon Tay who watched him on Youtube, he decided to bring him over to ewood park for a trial. The rest is history
His recent attacking minded performances has drawn him comparisons with Brazil's legendary right back. Being able to defend as well as he attacks, he is now the first choice right back for Brazil, ahead of Daniel Alves.

that's all for my psp adventures!

prelims
I did my ISORG on eprelim just now and i realised i really suck at it.
I did the question on transaction cost model, data model and e-commerce which are also the 3 topics i studied thru the weekend.
I must say wah damn tough man. Even though I have the book i nfront of me, I can only write around 600 words for each essay, which is less than half of the recommended 1500! the points in the book can only get u so far, u need to analyse the question and then write about it! where got time?
The topics i wanted to specialise in were
1. Data model/
2. Decision making model
3. Transaction Cost model/
4. E-Commerce/
5. IS Strategy
those with / are those that i already studied
but after this prelim, it really calls for a rethink. I think i have to include more straightfoward topics like hardware, O/S and stuff.
I also did my Managerial Econs prelim paper last week.
shame on me for only studying 5 out of 11 topics.
after coming out of the exam hall in 1 and half hour, i thought i might still do ok, until i realised i make 2 jialat mistakes in 2 major question. I am hoping for a pass grade now.
but looking on the bright side, i forced myself to study chapter 9 - market structure and 11 - oligopoly which are 2 of the 3 chapters that i know nothing about. means i only have 1 more topic to study from scratch, in addition to a few more which i need to revise.
the next few days i will be studying CF & MSM. hope to finish all the CF tutorial (5 more), specialise in some topics and be ready for the prelim. As for MSM, i guess i have to do everything from scratch because i haven't open the notes before at home. hopefully I will be able to read through all the notes an try a few questions from every topic.
Ultimately i hope to finish revising all subjects by 12th of april and be ready to start practising papers from 13th onwards
At least the prelims is forcing me to touch my books! joy to the world!
