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.

angst
i feel very.. suppressed when the person i’m working under actually allows people to step all over her, is so easily swayed and influenced &.. soft.
i dun like to follow the crowd. & i can be quite assertive when i want things to turn out perfect.
im beginning to dread those meetings. I’d shut up not bcos i do not have anything to contribute, but bcos I don’t feel accepted. Bcos thr is no sense of belonging. Bcos i feel so out of place, i just think of a million places I’d rather be than to stuck and SUFFOCATE in that room with those people.
It’s not as if i ENJOY going against the flow. I just want to stand up for my ideas & be firm about it.
Being OPEN to ideas does not necessarily means you have to ACCEPT them. I guess this is when me being open yet opinionated kicks in.I’m controlling my aggressive personality in order to not be over-bearing. But I can sense that I’m reaching my limit.
Even if I stand in your way, I want things to be done my way.
I can’t control how much shit you want to dish out, but I can control how much shit I will take from you. This is the last time I swear.
Same same but Different
Here’s “Love remains the same” by Gavin Rossdale recommended by a friend -very nice indeed!! =)
ps. Gavin Rossdale is Gwen Stefani’s husband. Like *woahs*, they’re very compatible. Similar music styles.
pps. here’s another nice song “Never Be the Same” by en-X (my friend’s band).
Here’s the LINK. I like their wallpaper a lot! Although my friend is the vocalist, he sounds very different from his singing voice as compared to speaking normally everyday.
<3 Lyrics from the song:
One life, one chance, one try, to walk, to run, to cry.
To dream and to take flight, to a world beyond those lies.
One hope, one soul to feel, to love, to laugh and fulfill.
To shout aloud and be the beauty that is me.
Crazy night out
In reality, last night was Halloween.
In my world, last night was my birthday celebration.
Gosh, i was quite wasted. Puked twice. Kena molested by cass for don’t know how many times.
Have to down 2 cups (i think) of beer by random people. Kena kissed by random woman also. Kena tickled & irritated by random people.
Wasn’t even able to eat my birthday cake ): & CASS TRIED TO MAKE ME EAT CANDLES & TAKE A LOT OF MY UNGLAM PHOTOS.
More updates later. That’s all I remember for now! =P
ps. My urine reeks of Martell!! WTH. hahahaha
