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 just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.” -Tyra
I read somewhere that the great people are usually the ones who have to suffer the fate of being misunderstood. So, it’s just seriously a matter of sucking it up.
If we understand each other so well, we will never have to communicate. But it’s precisely we never understand each other well enough, we should keep communicating. But of course, some stuffs never need to be understood.
If you really love someone enough, you would change for him/her. Not because you’re changing yourself to please him/her, but because you know giving this little part of you up, you will get back so much more. The smile, the hug, the eyes filled with appreciation, the thank you, every bit of it is worth it.
for them, i will take all the shit from the organization. for them, i will sleep 2 hours and forced myself to wake up, biked along east coast park for 5 times. for them, i will puke every morning but still force myself to be there for them. for them, i would face all adversity with a smile bcos they need me to encourage them.
this love for this bunch of facis is so strong, they changed me as an SF.
they changed my life.
thank you, run 3 Magnum facis. I couldn’t have asked for more.
I love this picture. it’s my desktop wallpaper. i’ve been feeling out of sorts these few days. Not really thinking, spend my free time staring into space (literally) or counting down how many days before I can return to school to study.
I think I’m tired, tired of working. Although I still want to push stuffs to a higher level or perhaps just to push through the coming events, I find myself taking the back seat because the accumulation of experience thus far makes me feel mixed up inside.
I need a TIME OUT from this game of work or camps. I look forward to the time I can spend some time alone at the seaside, concreting my reflections, my plans and my dream.
For my friends who are working relentlessly on their respective internships or just handling massive shit, I hope you take good care of yourself, stay healthy (especially with the h1n1 epidemic nowadays) and most importantly, stay positive.
With all the shit in life to go through, we need to keep our heads up and keep going. That’s how I pull myself together every time (:
To pamper myself for this entire summer ( FOUR WKS LEFT!!! hehe), I shall get an ipod nano today! *big big grin*
Most probably getting the white/silver one. If they don’t carry the stock, then I’d go for red. HEHEHE, I am happy, be happy for me!
Do support! :) The blog shop really contains exquisite pieces which is not the common cliche items in all the famous blog shops ( & those who tried to copy it). These pieces are made in HK, which definitely makes you stand out in the midst of boring Singaporean fashion. The webpage is not beautified, but the prices given are DAMN good! If you’re a friend of mine, let the owner knows & she might be even happy enough to give you a discount!
i’ve got a nightmare how my birthday party turns out -nobody came. hahaha, such a loser-ish dream right! -_-
But the sucky feeling remains. The feeling of nobody cares or loves me. In my dream, one best friend walked past me while another refused to turn up. I was speechless as I look at them passing me by, with no recognition shown.
