I keep striving for perfection.
Wanting everything to be crystal clear.
Now it struck me, no one, nothing can ever be perfect.
Not me nor you

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.

suck it up
It is blow after blow i have to take.
I think I am really too nice, over-concerned with people I shouldn’t even bothered or waste my time and energy on.
if I could turn mean, I would do it.
i’m yours :)
I loveee jason mraz. This song always reminds me to keep things simple and joyful when I listen to it. It chases away those weariness and negativities and adds a little skip to my foot steps.
I particularly like this line a lot,
I guess what I’d be sayin’ is there ain’t no better reasonto rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
An eager cry for justice
So much things happened during internship work this week which struck a chord in my heart. But the week is so packed with action I don’t have time to go into details.
Mon was coming up with b’dy board idea, tues was doing house visits with SP volunteers, today was bringing the elderly to Sentosa, tmr is sponsorship deals settle, fri -sat is ftb camp, sun is father’s day. Save me.
Note: this photo is NOT photoshopped. I LOVEE blue skies. Soooo blue that it wiped away my troubles for that moment I looked up at it.
Cute Cakes!
I was surfing for birthday cakes and I’m marvelled by what I found!
Isn’t this sooooo classy & cute?? *swoons*
glass slipper cake! it’s so unique~
fashion cake! cool SEH.
& I’m so FTB-ized organizing the camp (all things can be compromised except safety!) with the team such that I burst out laughing hysterically at this cartoon :D
We have a Real Madrid situation
As Sam puts it rightly, we have
“19 superstars, no 1 team“
It’s always easier to work alone, do things your way.
But we won’t choose the easy way out. It’s the attitude -to continue striving for excellence.
I hope we can celebrate together as one soon.
Such epic jokes ;)
Today, my car was in the shop so I borrowed my wife’s VW Beetle convertible. It’s really embarrassing because it’s a girlie car and it’s full of little stuffed animals. At a stop light a man asked me if I’d like to borrow one of his testicles because “every man should have at least one.” FML
True story: A stewardess serving continental breakfast found orange juice missing so shouted to colleague “My CB no juice!!” #cibai
