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.

Throw it away, Forget yesterday
We’ll make the great escape.
Today during work, my boss brought Jaryl & me out to IKEA for nice lunch and shopping =)
Work is getting so much fun and I get to smile & laugh, probably only during work time.
Incident 1: Early in the morning, I was whining to him that ” my thighs are getting humongous”. Later that day, I forgot about my whining and was tempting him with super sinful dark chocolate & letting him to smell the container. Then he said ‘I’ve got discipline’ & that hit me. So, I gasped really loudly & he burst out laughing at my expression. Then, I started to howl that I feel so guilt stricken I should skip dinner. So, jaryl was laughing until he started tearing.Then, I looked at the time & realized it was quite late already. So, I called back home & tell mum to save food for me.
Jaryl laughed even harder & choked out, in between the laughs, that “That is so incoherent!”
Incident 2: Jaryl came to disturb me by switching on the air purifier and started fanning me with his butt rest when I was seriously typing a sponsorship letter.
So I started chasing him all around the centre and he was holding a metal bar in self-defence. Hence, I was telling him that I wasn’t armed. & he goes ‘you have your finger!’ WAHAHAHA. I love it when people are ticklish. I can always attack them *elfish grin*
Ftb is making me quite pek chek. Maybe because the task is daunting and I do not feel that all our hearts & soul are in it. It definitely takes not just a normal team, but a strong team to pull through this.
I have a question, ‘Are we ALL ready for this?’
If not, what can we do about it?
This is one question I kept struggling and worrying, struggling and worrying.
