As usual uneventful weekend

For some reason, I am rarely productive on Saturday and Sunday. Today, I am more productive than my usual Sunday, but I under-study today. After, it would be another 7 days until I worry tremendously for my Tax 2 exam the following, though I only need around 40 marks for my exam to pass the whole module. Funny how I always procrastinate before tests and exam, just to panic at the last minute. Still, it is a great improvement this sem. I really put in efforts for my common tests. Maybe I was too stressed. I passed all my 4 common tests (I failed 3 out of 5 the previous sem), but the results were below satisfactory. I even has several dreams about my result!

The first one was really embarrassing. It was Chinese New Year Eve. Just a couple of hours before the end of countdown to Chinese New Year. I fell asleep on sofa and dreamt about me going to retest for MA. I was asking for direction for the venue of retest. I woke up from my sleep and I was still in my dream, asking around for direction. All my relatives were stunt. A funny recollection nonetheless.

I am envious of other people's blogs. They are so colouful and all. Mine is so dull. Too bad there isn't much I can do. They have stopped issuing the account for Blogspot, and I am semi-computer-illiterate. *Sigh* I managed to get a visitor counter though. Better than nothing.

Let me recall what I have studied today: Agency- 4 factors to determine whether one is an agent:
1) Whether it is stated on the contract that one is an agent (If yes, he or she is an agent in true sense of word)
2) Whether one is informed much about the arrangement (If a lot, then he or she is an agent in true sense of word)
3) Whether one is paid on commission or a lump sum (If commission, he or she is an agent in true sense of word)
4) Whether the bill of lading(Gosh! My FIT is a complete disaster!) is being sent to the consignee, or the customers keep it to themselves (Misinterpretation ?). If sent to consignee, ditto above 3 brackets.

The case study to illustrate this is Corten Furniture v. Merzario Pte Ltd............ Okay, enough of my crap. Gotta get back to my studies.
