Nov 17 2008 - i agree that its one of the worst storm since i came......so glad that im hiding indoor at DFO...LOL..though it still freak me out with those fickering lights..but its better than staying outdoor..... (from yahoo!7 news)
Brisbane has been declared a natural disaster area, as soldiers and prisoners help repair damage caused by one of the biggest storms to hit the city in two decades.

About 30,000 properties across Brisbane, Redcliffe and the Gold Coast were without power on Monday afternoon after Sunday's storm brought hail and wind gusts of up to 130km/h, unroofed homes and toppled power lines and trees.

Emergency authorities said up to 4,000 homes were damaged, with 300 homes "significantly damaged" and 30 deemed unlivable.

While most areas received 40mm to 60mm of rain, Ferny Hills, in the north-western suburbs of Brisbane received 80mm, 69mm of which fell in the space of 30 minutes on Sunday afternoon.
A 20-year-old man was killed when he was swept away by quickly rising water while photographing the storm in a drain with a 23-year-old friend at Chermside, in Brisbane's northern suburbs.

Premier Anna Bligh compared the disaster to Cyclone Larry, which devastated north Queensland in 2006.

Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard activated natural disaster relief and recovery arrangements, including the deployment of more than 100 chainsaw-equipped soldiers, and pledged to cover half of the state government's clean-up costs.
"The public rightly expects all levels of government to work closely together in times of need so that the community can bounce back quickly," Ms Gillard said.

"The government's thoughts are with the thousands of families that have been caught up in this disaster and most particularly with the family of the young man who tragically lost his life."
Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said 1,200 people, including emergency services personnel, Energex staff, Queensland police and the army, were working on the clean-up.

Police recruits and 20 low-level security prisoners were also involved in the effort, the state government said.

"Nothing like this has happened to the city for at least 10 years," Mr Newman said.

"Perhaps it goes back to 1985 with a very big storm back in those days."

He said Energex had recorded 576 cases of toppled powerlines.

Some homes are expected to remain without power for another 48 hours.

The city council has warned residents in western Brisbane to boil their water or buy bottled water after a bird dropping-coated roof collapsed into a reservoir at The Gap - the worst-hit area of the city.
Transport services are expected to remain disrupted into Tuesday and traffic lights are out at many intersections.

Ms Bligh said families severely affected by the storm were eligible for a cash assistance payment of up to $765 and individuals could claim $165.

"These are just the immediate cash payments for people who have literally got nothing, for people who need to buy food for their children or buy clothes," she said.

Ms Bligh said some people would not be able to return home for weeks. Police patrols are being boosted to deter looters.

Ms Bligh said up to 4,000 insurance claims had already been made but this would grow.

She also warned more storms were expected to hit south-east Queensland on Thursday.
Two Catholic schools badly damaged by the storms, St Andrew's at Ferny Grove and St Peter Chanel at The Gap, will remain closed until at least Wednesday, school authorities say.

finally...reaching there..the last obstacles for the semester... honestly..i hope that this will be my last paper for the semester...my stomach is seriously churning whenever i think of finance papers... really dun feel good abt it..guess i have to start packing my notes back to sg and prepare for the worst... *finger cross*

how time flies...9mths has come and goes just like that.... can't believe im going back to the workforce soon.... this 9mths is really fruitful and enriching...i've learn so much outside the textbook. frm culture to politics..yes..politics.....it started w the debate w hillary clinton vs Obama.. how interesting...history in making...the 1st female president to be and 1st black president to be... and to the debate of obama vs McCain....how McCain make a fool of himself on national TV....and the tears of the african american who finally see the light and hope....and to the world...who is now stepping into a new change......

honestly...i think our neighbour shld start to change...and we can see frm the release of RPK and how the court disagree with the ISA......recently..saw the news featuring teresa kok, a chinese politician in our neighbouring country....i have to take my hat's off her....the bravery and tolerance despite all those criticism slamming on her.... honestly i think they too need a change....

will the change in the superpower change the rest of the world???

the paper is so f*** up today....1st..she did not provide a t-table, no durbin-watson table, mistakes w a few qn....can't understand a single word that french lecturer announce coz of her accent..and another lady gotta repeat wat she say... and lastly..after so long...she finally announce that we don't have to do Q9 for mcq...wat the hell.....set paper till like that HUH HUH..

6 Nov 08

i had to say....this is the worst day in my entire academic life...never in my life..had i studied so hard and long for a course....sacrifice my revision time for my last 2 papers.....struggling through one semester trying to understand this course...and when i finally sit down to start on the paper... i was thrown off COMPLETELY! 4 questions, involving mainly of calculations....15 marks each....i had only one word to describe it.... *HELL*.....

i had to say..the questions are easy to understand..but when it comes to part a, b or c...i have no idea how to start..1st 20mins of the time....i was honestly struggling to gather my thoughts and put down whatever i can... glancing over to my side...i saw this girl struggling hard to write something...and i could peep that she did not even start on her answer sheet... *sigh* wat startled me was that she raise up her hand and request to give up..... *stunned*

alrite..this shows that i wasn't the only one LOST among the questions....looking ard me... quite a number of people left in like 45mins? which is pretty impossible coz it will absolutely take longer than 45mins to complete the whole paper.....

throughout that space of 2 hours..i spend like 60% of the time pondering wat im suppose to do with the question...and i will never forget Q3...i had never seen that questions ever in my tutorial, past yrs and lecture notes..i really wonder where the HELL it came from. *faint* im totally thrown off, depressed and had the iimpulse to tear that paper up.....

finally that horrible 2hours went pass.....i went up to my friends and started to %#@#@% abt the paper..MAN..i wasn't the only one...relief but piss..and know what..that last qn was worth 15marks..no part a or b to it.....and i only finish off with 3 steps of calculations...i couldn't believe what i had done..but i was DESPERATE....... and you will never know how relief i was when i compared my final ans with my friend..... *finger cross* i just hope to scrap through.... this course is so disappointing..the amount of time and effort i put in...simply doesn't pay off...... *sigh*

7 Nov 08

the worst is finally off...left with 2 more papers...but im so relief...the moment i finish up my supper....i went unconscious till 12.30pm today....it was the longest i had ever sleep since like 2 weeks??? corporate finance has made me lost so much sleep and appetite..... suppose to meet up w my friends to sunnybank..but that plan was blown off..due to some circumstances.....but anyway..either im sleeping too much or i still lack of sleep..my head was throbbing the whole day.... oh yeah..and when i thought corporate finance is over....this grp of singaporean were discussing abt yesterday paper which caught my ears...and YES..i agree with u that qn 3 is 'what the f***" me too never seen that questions before... *sigh* wats over is over...lets just keep our fingers crossed......

after i had that hairy chicken wing at hawken..i went back and was unconscious again.. GOSH!! can't believe how much i slept today.... i had another peaceful 3 hours before im up watching transporter 2...jason stalham is simply gorgeous....his voice is simply so ahem good.. LOL.....

alrity....exam is not over yet...though i feel so relief......

physically drained.....mentally challenged.....

wanted to take a nap.....end up tossing in bed for whole 1 hour..which could have been spend analyzing some financial or real option......do i have an option?? whats option...its a right but not an obligation to buy or sell......so wats my option???

im sooooo tired...can't sleep..can't focus...took a shower to wake myself up coupled w a cup of steaming hot tea..but my eyes is simply stoning...brain freezing..... *yawn*

guess its kinda mentally draining when i had just wrote a 9pages long worth of 3 essays... simply no idea wat im writing.......spend days memorising those facts and theory....and all screwed up coz of a 30% essay...i simply can't accept the fact......my essay isn't worth wat it is..... *argh* this is SOO frustrating.......
