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

ENERGY

In daily rumblings on 3 July, 2009 by sin2dy

Energy- that’s what I need. I think u guys must have been quite sick of seeing ‘fatigue’ & ‘tired’ all over my recent posts. But really, pardon my limited vocabulary, I’m sick of being tired.

It’s ironic how I can seek comfort in a song faster and somewhat better than in a close friend.

(not to say my close friends are good listeners of cos. maybe it’s just me being anti-social & relating more to music than humans)

She Bought A Ticket To Nowhere
And She Told Me That She’s Sick Of This Life
She Said Don’t Worry, It’s Alright
Cause She Doesn’t Wanna See Me Cry

I Wish That She Could See
How Beautiful She Is To Me

Chorus
Baby Baby Hold On, Oh Please Don’t Let Go
Baby Baby Be Strong, So Much You Don’t Know
Life Is Crazy Sometimes, I Know It’s Not Easy
But Baby Baby Hold On

I Wiped The Tears From Her Face
She’s Forgotten How Her Smile Used To Feel
She Holds My Hand And She Whispers
Tell Me Why You Love A Loser Like Me

I Wish That She Could See
How Beautiful She Is To Me

Baby Baby Hold On, Ooh Baby Hold On
Oh Baby Baby Hold On, Oh Yeah

I Wish That You Could See
How Beautiful You Are To Me

Baby Baby Hold On, Oh Please Don’t Let Go
Baby Baby Be Strong, So Much You Don’t Know
Life Is Crazy Sometimes, I Know It’s Not Easy
I Know It’s Not Easy But Baby Baby Hold On
Baby Baby Hold On, Baby Baby Hold On
