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.

i decided to skip lunch but my very nice boss bought back beef fried rice to tempt me! T_T (the only food i can’t resist during lunch)
PLUS, she bought back polar curry puff. *salivates
i predict i would have a round tummy for the rest of this summer!
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We’re still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I’m to blame when all is said and done
Yesterday I went home to have dinner because it was my brother’s birthday.
So I dragged my weary body & mind back and passed him my gift – a wallet from wallet shop & he likes it (:
Then, I finished dinner and sank into the sofa & fell asleep. I woke up this morning and found out that I slept from 9pm till 8am. Nobody was able to wake me up during the period which I was in slumber.
That was the episode of me in coma. Hahah. I feel alive once again this morning when I opened my eyes. Thank god I have this much-needed rest.
On a side note, I’m so embarrassed to see adrian now! *blush* That day in the office, I poked him when he was walking past when I wanted to poke jaryl instead. Sensing something is wrong with the mild reaction, I turned and got the shock of my life to see him looking at me. Hahaha. I made that mistake because both of them were wearing the same shade of green that day! Blargh. & yesterday I was honestly ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) when Jaryl and I was wrapping gifts for the elderly as they were having some exciting bingo game outside. He was such a perfectionist and thus he was busy folding all the edges while I’m just cutting scotch tape -.-
Then,while he was wrapping up the last bit, he accidentally poked his finger into it and created a hole. He gave this face -> ” -_______________-” and I can’t stopped laughing. =)
And.. I like the lyrics for this song. It’s so genuine.
Trust yourself,Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when.
Don’t trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well, you’re on your own, you always were,
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Don’t put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.
Trust yourself
And you won’t be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
Don’t trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
