I believed an attitude change is really important. I must say I’ve learnt a lot from my comms and promo mgmt class.
In comms class,
Girl: Maybe it’s because people see her as a female, hence not strong leader.
Hot comms prof: This is ridiculous. Don’t make it into a gender issue -bcos it isn’t.
Girl: I’m just saying it’s a possibility. It’s not easy to handle that situation, especially when others are not really supportive of her as compared to having a man to take control in this case.
Prof: If you’re blaming this failure on her gender, then I would say it is never going to work. You can’t go into business with such a paradigm.
I find myself nodding vigorously at his comments in class. He changed my belief. I’m not going to tell anyone about the difference between a man/woman and how I belong to the former anymore. People shouldn’t judge or have preconceived perceptions of what a male/female leadership should be like. If I have to stand up for myself, I would say ‘No, this is not because of my sex. This is just me.’ :) & Prof is hilarious. I was just talking to myself, ‘Is this the same person?’ and he thought I said, ‘Is she lesbian?’ *laughs*

Although many commented how dreadfully boring my PM Prof is, I feel motivated to listen to him and I think he has nice eyes. :P Today’s consultation with him makes me realized just how knowledgeable he is. He shared with me how knowledge is build upon knowledge, how research must go hand in hand with teaching to bring more up-to-date information and value to the class. & I’m pleasantly surprised that he actually has a funny side to him! I was asking him why does he have 2 laptops with him? He said, “one for each hand!” hahaha.
If only my gpa could skyrocket all the way till I graduate, I might consider being a prof as my retirement plan. I love the dynamics in this environment.

Tyra banks is really one woman I look up to in so many ways. Through this season of ANTM, I think I get the main message which is, people are going to focus on your weakness. That is the reality. It is up to you to have the confidence to take their focus out of your weakness and be drawn to something more captivating. Classy.

One last thing which really changes me a lot over this summer is my crisis management skills. Because of FTB, I’m faced with life & death decisions to make, faced with people with dislocated arm, asthmatic attacks and possible h1n1 carriers. I learnt to force myself to remain calm, to think rationally and to encourage people when they’re going through their hard or painful times. This makes me realized if I were to be thrown into another emergency situation again, I will not panick like a gan chiong spider like I used to. I can deal with it already. It’s encouraging to know that although my academic skills might have sucked for the past sem, I acquired life skills.

post editorial: i went to see the dentist already. Wisdom tooth is decayed. I’ve got to go through an X-ray and extract it. But I’d have to wait till exams are over. *sobs uncontrollably*
It’s like there is this constant pain there & worse, sometimes it will act up with me having to endure the sharp pain. I don’t feel like talking anymore. In fact, I don’t feel like doing anything AT ALL. Just lie down on my bed and stare at the ceiling feels like the best way out.
I suddenly get how jojo feels. Quoting her “i have to restrain my impulses to reach out and grab someone’s hand or hang on to them or hug them”. That is how I feel now.
I’m just psychoing myself. Hahaha. I got a cut when the clumsy me scratched my hand against the edge of the whiteboard.
Anyway, I realised it’s the duno-how-many-times Keeto helped to apply plasters on my wounds already. *heart melts* Hahah, he seems to be always armed with plasters. (with accident-prone friends like me =p) We both were close to dozing off during the marketing talk. Our short attention span lasts long enough to 25 minutes of the talk before we walked out hastily. =X
& studying with kh is DAMN funny. He will prevent others from coming to disturb me *grins*
& when I’m having break, I just have to put down my earpiece then can laugh at him alr. INSTANT STRESS RELIEF!=D
He will be like ‘omg. do CAT until STEAM’ or saying stuffs like ‘i’ve got..bla bla bla.. all in 1 wk. It’s PAIN, i tell you’.
Tmr is mktg!!!!! Sinyi Jiayou, Everyone Jiayou!! (:
I’m damn distracted. I don’t have the willpower to take my eyes off the screen to drag myself back to study marketing.
F1 IS SO EXCITING. BREATHTAKING. DAZZLING. EXHILARATING. SENSATIONAL. STIMULATING.
I’m so thrilled I can’t breathe!
ps. arrghh, im like a little naughty girl who had too many sweets (finished 3 rolls of mentos in..3 hours >_<). Now having a terrible toothache & my dad is laughing at me. -_- Gahh, I feel like biting something… hard.
Aside from providing entertainment through comedies, I think this man has found his footing in the movie-making industry. Watching a movie is like seeing this world through another person’s eyes. He presented his view which shows his depth-of-thought and highlights the critical social issues facing Spore in a joking manner. A movie which both educated and uneducated people can appreciate and take away valuable lessons. (I have absolutely NO intentions of scoffing at the uneducated.) To me, only an absolutely GREAT & SIMPLE movie can achieve this. In addition, I’m amazed how politically sensitive stuffs are touched and brought up repeatedly over his productions without any bans (yet). Hahaha. The rebel in me screamed “YAYYY!” for him.
Before people scoffed at the quality of local productions and jumped mindlessly right on the bandwagon for American or Japanese movies, take time off and enjoy Jack Neo’s movies. Not everything good has to come from overseas and we should start to value local talents (above foreign ones) before they decide to venture abroad. Needless to say, I <3 his sense of humor which I grow up with and is influenced by*! =)
Here’s a preview (:
*Refer to his influence: when I was pretty young, I saw a handbag by the stairs in my aunty’s house in Malaysia. I picked it up and imitated liang po po ’s “woo woo woo” while coming down the steps. SO stupid but funny la ;P
Shattered dreams, worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears the sights our eyes behold
Will open up our melting hearts and feed our empty soulsI believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever I believe when I fall in love this time It will be forever
Without despair we will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won’t be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm, they won’t be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you will echo in my mind
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time
It will be forever
Steive Wonder is more famous for his biggest hit “I just called to say I love you”. Besides that, most of his songs are really simple yet sweet. A bit like an older version of John Mraz (:
Happy girl shall go mug Marketing now. heheh. At least it’s a subject she likes.
ps/ gymming releases endorphin & relieves stress. Wheeeeee! The rush of blood to my brain, the heat building up within my body, the racing pulse rate all culminate to the apex point- SHIOKKK =D
The world seems brighter and sharper. The flowers are blooming (too bad there are not many birds ard SMU -except sparrows and crows which sing), the trees are swaying, the sunshine on my skin and the wind against my face. Hiak hiak, I’m happy I went to gym before I become any fatter!
Btw! If you happened to be looking for gorgeous desktop wallpapers, here’s my recommendation! (see i how nice. WAHAH)
