Sensing my current fatigue & brain function level,
I’m actually very afraid & worried..
I might be spreading myself thin. *sighs

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.

Are you calling me daaaarling?
I’m just typing random phrases flicking in and out of my head.
Mrbrown is goood. Watch this : )
- what you are is god’s gift to you. what you become is your gift to god.
- every man is guilty of all the good that he doesn’t do.
- I asked a handful of people if im demanding last night. Most said yes & I told jaryl I mush be rubbing off him. He said that is to ensure the quality is there. So yeaps! If demanding means QC-ing, then demanding I shall be.
- I tried to be nice, but people started stepping all over me. I won’t allow this to happen again. No ‘niceness’ for a long way to come!
- Sometimes I’m not being arrogant, I’m just being childish. Like how a kid is trying to fight back when he/she is upset.
- I absolutely love my blood red toe nails. They make me feel strong =)
- You tried to portray a kind & nice personality. But in actual fact, you aren’t. No matter how charming/cute a person is, there is no excuse for you to be FAKE. Don’t underestimate others’ intelligence. Because of your complacency & overconfidence, you might be shocked.
- People are so superficial. They judge others by what he/she said instead of his/her actions. I can’t say either the audience is too naive or the actor/actress is too cunning. From both angles, I think both sucks.
- I was asked to describe somebody in 3 words today & I uttered, ‘impatient, ignorant, ideas-generator’.
-It’s been a LONG time since I can do some quiet reflection by myself. I need that.
- I may be slow for the first round. I might sound stupid sometimes. But you can be rest assured I won’t be a fool twice. Next semester, I would just bite on one word – d i s c i p l i n e .
- I realize I’m not easy to get, especially when I’m peeved. When I keep quiet, it’s sometimes bcos I’m angry. I kept quiet bcos I don’t want to say the wrong things in a fit of anger. So when I gave my silent treatment, people don’t know I’m angry. Hence, it’s almost like wasting my energy to be angry. Seriously, I must stick to these 4 words I kept repeating in my head “I can’t be bothered“. I seriously can’t.
- You can be a good marketing person, & talk until the bird flies down from the tree. But I never quite like eloquence if it doesn’t come with substance. Charm me for all you want, but I want to see reliability & credibility.

My Mask of Innocence
Joking about my perverse aside, I really think the quiz result is quite accurate. Especially the part ‘you always give people the benefit of doubt’.
Hmmm. I hope my so-called innocence won’t be lost when I get into the dog-eat-dog corporate world soon.
