Happiness is not about getting what you want, but wanting what you have.

how true. haha okay bullshit, if people aren't happy after getting what they want, then ten thousand pigs will take to the air tmr. not saying it's not true la, but i bet u my bank account that few are so easily contented.

speaking of which, some stranger has been using my acc for payments and withdrawal for the past few months and dbs hasn't managed to solve the problem. and now they say they're gonna credit my acc with the missing amounts next month, not all mind you, but only those amounts missing after the second complaint. why can't he go rob someone rich, there're plenty out there. and either dbs is really incompetent, or that stranger is so highly skilled he can get through blocked cards.

ching, i hope u're much better already! :D

was studying at the airport ytd and more than half the people milling around were singaporeans (!!!!). it's like a new shopping place, like why on earth would you go to the airport to get groceries at fairprice? it's insane haha.

just now, this singtel salesman knocked on the door and tried very hard to convince us to switch to singtel instead of starhub. i think he deserves credit for rattling on and on for nearly ten minutes with perserverance, and stopping us with pleads every time we said no and tried to close the door. lol i know you got the bid but we don't watch soccer and mio isn't very appealing. plus the internet and phone rates are similar to starhub's so what's your point? haha poor thing, selling door-to-door on a sunday afternoon.

goin to school tmr to submit ais with jiaxin. i wonder why we can't submit soft copy.

and eileen turned twenty ytd! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 010! hahaha dinner later, can't wait! :D

         

OKAY STUDY.


you know sometimes, a few words can hurt more than ten thousand conversations put tgt.

and so school is out for the sem, except for the test left on thurs, and finals. i think time is going too fast :(

by the way, i hate train delays! it made me horribly late this morning cos the train stopped at every stop for 5-10minutes and subsequently it stopped while in the tunnel as well!! it took me more than twice the amount of time to get to vivo, what with the operator's voice over the system saying 'this train will stop here for a short while. we are sorry for the inconvenience.' seriously, hearing it repeatedly at close time intervals makes your blood boil.

met up with drey last week after so long. haha had marche and updates! more when the holidays come round <3

the weather was freezing today, it was pouring like mad. the bus was like north pole lol. and i saw christmas decorations already up in orchard on my bus ride home! 

some people are really amusing. if you get a certain grade then that's it. there is no need to approach others and try to get them to evaluate you in comparison to your other grp members. maybe your intention was for us to express shock at your grade cos u deserve so much more but that's too bad cos i think u must have accumulated some amazing karma to get your current grade already. plus what's over is over, get a grip and move on HAH. do we look like we care about your concerns? haha oops later jx say im mean :) maybe i should accumulate some more good karma so that a miracle will be bestowed on me too.

haha okay time to hit the books. you know, miracles don't just happen to anyone.

night safari on saturday was so packed we could hardly believe it. if the bfs were there they would have wanted to leave within half an hour or even less. ohmigod we queued for close to two hours? lol karyn screamed at everything even when the ghoul was like ten metres away, i got startled by her screams even before i saw the thing HAHA.

first halloween with PC :)





and then joce sent us all home cept for karyn who went boonlay, thanks my dear! :)

okay i can't wait for mkting report to be over. i just proof-readed thirtytwo pages, restructuring sentences(i know u love commas but fullstops are nice too), changing grammar(why people dun get the difference btw present tense, past tense and future tense, i will never know) and adding in more points. and i stil have to do executive summary and conclusion tmr plus general editing. and my ais is not done, along with a dozen other things :(  

i am NOT wondering why only three out of seven people are writing up the report. i am not. thank god for amy and lj, the rest better stay out of my way.   

im waiting for joce to end her ais class now, i had mine before hers; we are in school on a saturday -_- the tutor speaks like ris low. think 'porbably', 'porblem', and the 'you know you know' lol.  

haha but night safari later, can't wait! :D

okay now i better get back to the mkting report ~

i've been in a much better mood these couple of days :) and today was a good day, apart from the annoyance named sarah, but more on that later.

mkting was jus to watch presentations today cos we did ours last week and since there were groups with clients like chewy junior and botak jones, we actually got sponsored puffs and burgers for breakfast and lunch. lol nine to twelve class is good timing! haha and i had no idea botak jones had a profit margin of millions, like two percent of its profit margin already hits a couple hundred thousand. as amy said, we should drop out of school and open stalls in coffee shops already, like seriously!

then sarah came to sit next to me and said she wanted to talk about the report. okay, since it's due next thursday and she's supposed to compile what we already have but no apparently she's the world's busiest person. so she started asking me what an executive summary was(!!) i wonder if she actually uses her gray matter and in any case im sure bizcomm at least taught her that much in her second year. i explained but she seemed to be way lost in the deserts of africa so being nice, i offered to do that part. (okay, not so much being nice, but simply cos i didn want to have to re-do one after she screwed it up)  

it's a thirty page report due and when i saw her email of delegation just now, i felt like flushing her down the toilet along with a truckload of sewage. we have seven people in our group and out of eleven parts, i saw my name on three. and it isn't even really eleven parts; her part is imc objectives which anyone can do in five minutes cos you can copy & paste from our slides. as for the timeline, that's what we came up with tgt and i know for a fact you can copy & paste from the minutes cos i was the one who did it. to sum it up, i am writing the executive summary, promotions, events, and overall conclusion. plus compiling the whole thing with amy and lj cos we want a decent grade, not to mention our beloved sarah has a test on saturday and wun be free to do anything till sunday. and did i mention it has to be written up by saturday night cos time is running out? sleep is a sacred privilege these days. 

i gave her a three out of ten on peer evaluation last night but i think i was too kind. on the scale of contribution, she would hardly deserve a two. 

on to more pleasant things, jx cabbed me to braddell after biz comm on her way home, thanks my dear! i think we bitch too much, but it's for our own good, de-stress ya know! <3
 

hahaha if only i could do that too. i mean, i'll be bored to death if that was my life but just one day or a few days la :D

i am not having a good day.

someone said to me, when u care less, u hurt less. i couldn't agree more.

i think it's what i have to do to feel happier. because these days deep down i feel like shit.

i've always known that life was unpredictable. but when it hits you in the face, that's when you really know it's true. i just hope he's in a better place now, it wasn't an easy choice to make. still, to each his own, i dun think im in any position to judge. i hope you will be happier, wherever you are.

on another note, had presentation today :D





lol just look at prof :) and we felt so sorry for the mascot when we dumped it beside the bin to be thrown cos it was too big for anyone to lug it home even if we wanted to. all that work chucked away! and just for fun, here's one of our print ads and mascot haha..

 

haha so this is the last presentation of the sem. at least i had fun :D :D

driving is making me very very poor haha esp when everyone's cancelling their lessons this month cos of exams. im amazed that even the primary one kid took this month off to prepare. prodigy arh? LOL. and the driving schedule is loading terribly slowly as always on the 18th, when it's barely twenty minutes past twelve.

went for ais today and it was... okay. class on a saturday -_-

i suddenly have a craving for starbucks :) i need to stay awake.

i am very tired. haha today's my free day but i was in sch since ten! still, at least now our models and collaterals are finally done :D plus now i understand the pain of the people who do rag, cos it really takes alot to make models from scratch. leonard walked past us to go back to sheares late morning and when he walked past again at four plus to go to class, his question was 'you all are stil here??!' -_- like duh do we look like we went back to hall to sleep or talk to a particular friend like you? hahaha oops. but i think our end-products're pretty good :) 

sara is so annoying i feel like stabbing her sometimes. if u're unhappy and think that i over-rode your authority then please get a life. you can't even get simple things done, like buying styrofoam. hello, it's not rocket science. and you had the nerve to tell me last night that the tpy popular doesn't sell it? number one: assuming i believe you (which i dun), dun you have legs or the mental capacity to look for alternative places? number two: if u want to tell a lie, spin a better one. the tpy popular is one of the largest and you tell me they dun have it. dun make me laugh because we all got them at other smaller stores. and just cos u think lj is easier to bully, you asked her to do it for you, which she would have, had amy not stopped her. today while we were making models, you attempted to look busy behind your laptop and barely moved to help. if you expect to just delegate and not lift a finger to do anything then i am speechless. thirdyrs have more authority is it? oh stuff yourself la, peer evaluation is coming right up anyway.  

finance quiz is pushed forward by a week. now it's the coming monday :(

by the way, pc do we have time to meetup next week?

went to do the model of the tds delivery vehicle ytd at yishun cos amy & lj lives there lol. was in the library at first but it was impossible to cut the styrofoam quietly so subquently we got thrown out haha and we went yoshi to have lunch and continue. it isn't easy to make okay, but it was pretty fun plus we were bitching about sara and whoever while doing. seriously, all she knows how to do is delegate, and being a third yr mkting major in her final sem, she seems not to know exactly what mass media is like OMG are you kidding me? when she opened her mouth that day, our jaws dropped i tell you, even soren. we bet she's gonna delegate us to do the model of the mascot as well so before she gets around to doin it, we came up with our plan to buy all the stuffs and bring them to the tuesday meeting and i'll email them to say we'll be doin it tgt on that day other than discussing HAHA. really, if u're so good at delegating, then can you delegate your marks to us as well? -_- the same goes to the unbearable canada-hk exchange student who only knows how to interrupt people and repeat their suggestions like it's hers, sprout quotes from the text and effectively gets nothing done. 

oh well we all meet such people in the world. i just wish something on me could repel them hahaha.

i love stingray! :D

i can't wait for the ais deadline to be over at noon tmr. i am thoroughly sick of G-ledgers, journals vouchers, POs, invoices, purchase requisitions and all the nonsense which are the reasons why im stil up at this hour :(

and i have to do slides for biz comm and mkting. there's filming to do for the mkting video. mockups to make of promotional tools. assignment for gem due. finance quizzes to study for. all on top of classes and tutorials; there's much much more but making the list longer is just going to make me feel more confined.

i need to sleep for a week. i think im goin blind.

i think i spend more time in meetings than actual classes.

yesterday, the magnitude 8+ south pacific earthquake hurled a massive tsunami towards samoa. today, western indonesia was hit by a quake of magnitude 7.6.

i think the world's ending; i literally felt the floor shake okay. and now i feel so sorry for those people who've lost the people they love and everything else :(

im very very tempted to use my S/U after reading bout clinical trials and placebo effects for the day. and that's taking into account the fact that i haven touched all that stuff on herbs oh help me. 

took shuttle with gekhoon ytd and she didnt know midterm's on thursday, i practically saved her life haha. and guess who i saw from across the lec hall. no prizes for guessing, but it was a little uncomfortable. ohwell who cares, not me. 

and im very sorry for missing dinner with seventeen on saturday. i was drowning in things to clear, plus changi's more than a little far, you east-siders. though i wouldn't have minded if there were no deadlines. so forgive me, i miss you all too! 

it'spast twelve already, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOW JIAXIN! :D much love!

sometimes, i wonder what's so difficult to understand. i'll think that i did, and then i'll think otherwise,and it's back and forth in a loop. i dun think i ask for very much, or maybe it's really too hard to understand. because at times, you make me feel like im asking for too much.  

im doin cross tabulation on excel for biz comm now and i jus realised i looked at the wrong numbers for one entire section. my god, redo.

AIS meeting on thurs and i haven started on it, when everyone is complaining to the high heavens about how hard it is. there were so many people in school today you wouldn't have guessed it's recess week, and all discussion rooms are fully booked at the library. there are so many things to do there's hardly any time to study, what with all the deadlines coming up. like hello, biz comm proj, ais proj, mkting proj with finance and gem midterms next week and oh my mkting assignment's due.
 
everyone who thinks im very free can go and die.

on to nicer thoughts, crab is finally on tmr with PC :) i carn wait.

i just want a day away from all the deadlines and bad thoughts, just one.
