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.

It’s Amazing =D

Do it, now
You know who you are
You feel it in your heart
And you’re burning with ambition

But first, wait
Won’t get it on a plate
You gonna have to work for it
Harder and harder

And I know
Cause I’ve been there before
Knocking on the doors
With rejection (rejection)
And you’ll see
Cause if it’s meant to be
Nothing can compare
To deserving your dreams

It’s amazing
It’s amazing
All that you can do
It’s amazing
Makes my heart sing
Now it’s up to you

Patience, now
Frustration is in the air
And people who don’t care
Well it’s gonna get you down

And you’ll fall
Cause you will hit a wall
But get back on your feet
And you’ll be stronger
And smarter

And I know
Cause I’ve been there before
Knocking down the doors
Won’t take no for an answer

And you’ll see
Cause if it’s meant to be
Nothing can compare
To deserving your dreams

Don’t be embarrassed, don’t be afraid, don’t let your dreams slip away.
Don’t be scared of using your gift — everybody has a gift.
Never give up, never let it die,
Trust your instincts, and most importantly…
You’ve got nothing to lose, so just go for it!

*jaws dropped* the women are SEXAY~!

*my nose keeps bleeding, keeps keeps bleeding, love~* hahaha! Im going BALListic. HAHA!

okok. that’s ME when Im forced to study for a mere 3 hours. all those pent-up activeness have nowhere else to direct to. OMGZ. I think that entire sentence sounds wrong!! wahahaha.

I can’t stand studying in school these days. The sight of thick files of notes, textbooks spreaded across every single desk in the library is totally unbearable! PLUS, library is not even cooling anymore. I think it has reached its saturation point and it’s just SUFFOCATING to stay holed up in there with fellow smuggers.

On the contrary, staying in home is so uber comfortable I can snooze the whole day away. BUT, i shall try my best. Afterall, IE just freaking pushed me to the ground and i have to pick myself up again. ):

Jiayou everybody!

XOXO, nerdish me! =D
