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 love these lines from ‘my life would suck without you’.
It reminds me no one is perfect. And nobody is right, we’re equally ‘wrong’. And that we all have our own problems.
But that’s me. always looking up. always hoping for something more.
& maybe it’s too much to ask for.
I hope I’ve known you better.
Time.
It is the only thing which can bring ppl closer or apart. Helps ppl build happiness or extend their suffering. Makes us cherish memories much more or allows some memories to lose their meaning. Define or eliminate a person’s existence.
Time is a test. We are bordering on the line of pass and fail. Treading on this thin line right in the middle.
I don’t know if I should give up.
I think the lyrics of this song 快乐天堂 is very meaningful :)
I LOVE the oldies fashion -those hairstyles, big specs, old granny sweater, the make up, the mv concept.
Sundays always set my mood for oldies. Here are some from the 1960-80s. Your parents will probably love them! And I draw inspiration from these songs. I think the lyrics are very meaningful. haha
This is the song which I grow up listening to. From this, I learnt to not look down on anything or anyone. Grass can be trampled upon and yet they still grow up strong.
This is the song of my favourite tv series when I was still staying in Malaysia. I remember I burst out crying in front of the tv for the episode when my favourite character (a lively smart young boy) died between the window panes.
If you’re a Chinese, I think the MUST-WATCH is Huang Fei Hong. My determination and pride of a Chinese must have stemmed from my love for this gong fu drama.
Last song with an awesome rhythm.
p.s. i can’t wait for CAT to be over.
老鹰带领着我们飞翔 更高更远更需要梦想
this project is really frustrating and tiring.
but thank god for Cass, Thomas and Berton. <3
They really make it so much more enjoyable. All 3 are damn funny and kept making me laugh. I went hysterical at 2+ am and laughed until I cry. I’m still laughing now at the thought of it.
Our overnighter in school was accompanied by shi hui & yan da. The company couldn’t get better! :) They kept me going till 5 am when I usually knock out by 1 am.
ps. we found out that the previous pic was on cass’ shortcut. LOLS!
