holiday, end

today is the last day of the Easter holiday...
i do not think it is really a holiday for me, because so many assignments need to finish.
i just finish the maketing assignments.
there will be a test on next Thursday, it is AFF 5100, but i have not prepared for that.
and i have a presentation on tomorrow, but i have not remeber all the stuff.
the assignment of MGX 9230, i finished 2000 words, but there still needs 1500 words to go.
about AFF 5130, i learned nothing during the holiday..
i spent almost all the holiday time at home. i went to shopping for several times, but only for food. and got a haircut. that's all about my holiday. omg...what a pity...
MONASH...what shold i say...
wish me luck...


PS, it is getting cold now...autumn is coming
and i linked my youtube account to twitter account, that is fun

MGX9230 & AFF5100 (2)

yesterday was a remarkable day, a huge hailstone hit Melbounre. some people said that it was the biggest hailstone in recent 10 years in Melbourne, i do not know whether it was correct, but i did know that the rain was really huge. it was a long day for me yesterday, because of the labour day on 8 March, the train did not opera between Pakeham and Oakleigh, alternatively there was a bus running between these two stop. but i did not know this infomation before i went to the train stop. but after 10 or more minutes waiting, i saw the announcement, and went to the bus stop. just 2 minutes after i entered the bus, the hailstone was comming, it was really terrible. the hailstone hit the bus, fortunately the bus is strong enough, nobody hurt in the bus. then i changed the train at Oakleigh station. usually, it needs 30 or 35 minutes from Oakleigh to City, but it took me 90 or more minutes to do that, i did not know what happen , but the train stop at Toorak for a long time, and the train drive told the passenger to change the train. anyway i got city. but when i went home, i check the website, it stated that the South Cross Station was damage in the hailstone, the roof collapsed, OMG, i hope no one get hurt. but the South Cross Station is cost billions to build it, it can not withstand the hailstone? it is a quesion. and today, in the moring and afternoon, the weather is good, but about 7pm, it is raining again with thunder. i hope no hailstone this time.
OK, about AFF 5100. the lecturer is pretty strict, maybe he is the strictest teacher i have met. in the first lecture he introduced himself for a long time, maybe 30 minutes, i guess. he said he did not have PHD, but he had a lot experience in mangement company, he was CEO or CFO in several industries. he also said that he loves teaching, so he teaches, not about money. he also stated some rules of his class such as forbid using phone in class. anyway, it was not important. and about the assignment, there are two group assignment in this unit, but unlike other units, we can not make the group by ourselves, he makes the group for us. UH HA. i do not know what to say.
go to the content of this unit. the name of this unit is advanced strategic management accouting. i thought it was managment accouning, but i was wrong. this unit does about managment accounting, but not the traditional managemnt accounting, it is about strategic management accouting. traditional management accouting is about budget or something like that, it focused on the internal factors of the firm. but strategic managemtn accouting focuses on not only inside of the firm, but also outside. he also introduced some concepts of SMA, but i have not got the lecture notes yet, so i can not state here. and as stated in the unit outline,  this unit needs a lot of case study. OK...i figure that most all the unit i study this study is about case study. a lot of reading i guess, wish me luck~~~
there is no stop sign for raining.... the thunder costs me a light already...

weather of Melbourne

i do not like the weather of Melbourne, it changes randomly, sometimes you go out, and the sky is blue without cloud and wind. but maybe 10 or 20 minutes laters, it changes. cloud full of the sky, the sky turns dark, and start rain. and the difference in temperature is huge. sometimes, the highest temperature is 35℃, but the lowest one maybe 20 or even lower. in the situation, people are easy to get sick such as cold or fever. but maybe the Aussie strong enough or already are used to the weather, i do not hear Aussie complaint about the weather. in constrast, some students like me, you know international students, are often complaint about the weather. especially me.
before i went to Liaoning Uni, i lived in a small city called Dandong in the northeast of China, and east of Liaoning Province. it is a small city without so many crowd, and not developed, but still developing. not busting like other big city such as Beijing or Shanghai. but i think the weather of Dandong is perfect, not too hot in summer, and not cold in winter. and because of the location of the city, the air there is not too dry. every stuff about weather in Dandong is very good. i really mean that. i travelled a lot, and have been some cities, but none of this city can compared with Dandong in weather perspective. some cities are too hot in summer such as Sanya and Hong Kong. and some cities are too cold in winter such as Harbing. some cities do not have clean air such as Fushun. after graudated from high school, i entered Liaoning Uni, in Shenyang ,the capital city of Liaoning Province. because my grandma lived in Fushun, i go to Funshun every year, Fushun is very close to Shenyang, so sometimes i went to Shenyang for shopping when i was young. in my memory, the air of Shenyang was not so clean due to some heavy industry. but when i went to Shenyang for studying, i noticed that Shenyang has Changed a lot, the air gets clean. very good. but in spring, the wind is so so big. when there winds, the air is no more clean, full of sand. what a pity. after two years study in Liaonning, i went abroad, LOL. come to Melbourne. at first i thought the weather here was good, because the sky is so clean, and the air is clean too. but when i live here for a while, i noticed that, i could not stand the temperature, it changed so quick. Melbourne is good, but its weather is not good as the city. and i believe that the people work in the Melboure Weather Bureau is not easy, esspecially weather expert, because the weather here changes so quick and random, it is not easy to forecast the weather. but i also noticed that most of the weather forecasting is correct, very good job.
