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.

OMG. I FREAKING MISS THIS.
My FAVOURITE childhood show. Every Saturday morning.
The music makes me feel happy and smart. hahaha
至少还有你
to all my friends :)
thank you for friending me. although i can get so grumpy, so demanding, so bitchy, thank you for believing that we can be friends.
Why are we so goddamn tired for
I admire my friends who can sleep for 2 hours and still function, do their work as per normal. For me, it was either brain fully running or brain stall.
I see myself working hard from day to night to day to night to day to night to..
you get the point.
But we all know it’s about putting your best foot forward and giving it a shot. Because you know it’s now or never.
Yet, when do we put a stop to all these slogging and stress? I feel burnt out but I can’t complain because I know there are friends who have it worse.
As I chat with tina, I realized I’m really fortunate I have awesome group mates this semester. Next sem will be a challenge because I’m going into most of my classes either solo or with Cass (another sem of boobs smacking!). It’s ironic when there is quite a handful of people asking me to bid with them. But it’s ok! I can do it. I always do :)
Today is the last lesson I have with my hot prof (Mr Gregor xxxx) for Corporate Communication. I will badly miss learning from him. His smile is so charming and his attitude is so infectious. He encourages dreaming with ‘aww, I’m sure you can do it’ and brightens up every Wednesday morning for this past 13 weeks. He opens up my mind and puts a smile to my face. I love people who can do that to me. I will miss him badly :(

OOH. & I want to enunciate something I wanted to since a LONG time back. Something which I wholeheartedly adhere to and I find difficulty interacting with people who don’t.
” I will not be self- deceived into believing that my partner (if I ever get one) knows me better than my friends. Yes, s/he will be more in touch with my real thoughts and everyday feelings. But my friends will know me even better because they were there before s/he appears. They see the change in me after I’ve fallen in love.
My life will not revolve just solely for her/him. I will treat s/he just like another treasured friend of mine. Just that this time round, it’s for an entire lifetime.”
I thought I can interact with all kinds of people. And I do. But I couldn’t stand it when the conversation topic is NOTHING but he/she. Your life might be revolving around his but sorry, mine doesn’t. My life has YOU in it.
I sincerely just want to know how you are doing, dear friend. And if I can share your burden, your troubles. If it’s not too much to ask for, let’s share some love and horny jokes too! HAHAHA
Recent happenings are testing me and probing me to keep going back to the question “What kind of person am I?”. Sooner or later in life, there will be those sleepless nights and irritating troubles I will come to face as an adult.
For now, I know clearly what I stand for. I know what I want to work towards.
I know all these, but I’m beginning to not know you.
