Journey to IMM..

I embarked on the journey alone to IMM yesterday. All for a poster, yupz, start scolding me. I wished i could slap myself too.

"Esams still on! Still can go IMM!"

As it was starting to drizzle, i decided to take bus 99 from the bus stop just opposite my block. Here's the view from the bus...

Nice weather to sleep in. But i just had to go collect the poster. There's a limit of 500, and when i called their customer service, after being transfered here and there, i finally got my answer.
"We have around 100 pieces left."
Phew, i was rather surprised the posters were still available, u know, the other fans can be really crazy..i bet there're people planning to queue there now or in a day or two. Nope, i'm not that crazy afterall, i'm only going a few hours before with HuiJuan. We'll chat and chat about our current lives and time will past so quickly we probably wont even notice.

There..finally reached IMM...


The first thing i did was of course...correct, to redeem the poster. TADA!!~~

okok..i can hear "haiyo(s)"...no...please dont start...haha..that's my interest..remember? haha..;)

The first shop i walked into was The Royal Sporting House. Remember the jacket? I actually walked in to have a look at the jacket. Here's a aided recall..

But i ended up buying...

It was only retailing at $14.90..original price was $19.90, or &17.90, cant remember. The next moment, i found myself taking out my wallet to pay for it..geez..

Since i was already at IMM, i decided to walk around a little. Saw Allan Wu filming at the central stage. They were filming this scene where it's his autograph session. Geez..they found some peole to act as the fans, quite little, but they could do with some editing..Premiere cut pro? or something more professional? Geez...


Upon reaching home, i took a little rest...

7:25 came, I met hj at the seats at the floor level of my block, to do a "transaction". Haha. She actually sort of convinced me to order a "Don-pie" from here, some pie which she claimed to be really nice. Hmm..waiting...Here a pic of us..rather dark though...


When i reached home..my neighbour's dog ran to my doorstep and started sniffing...A white ChiHuaHua..they have another brown one..very cute pair..


Well, think i have to get back to my notes after all this..gonna kill myself...

Btw, i might start working as a sales assisstant from 8 November, so that means i migt not be able to go for the class gathering..hmm..sad..well, everything's not confirmed yet..

Til Then Folks...ChEeRs!!~;)

This is the flower i drew on my hand on saturday while studying, out of boredom. The thing is, i cant wash it off completely!! haha..if you notice, it's still rather evident on my left hand. As i was doing the ECM paper just now, i was thinking whether the lecturers would think my flower was any hint to myself or i was attempting to cheat, with a flower..haha..

Well anyway, Nina and I went to Jurong Point just now for a little retail therapy..a little only..

When we walked into Royal Sporting House, this Puma jacket caught my eye! My....i'm so mesmerised by it. I Love it!!...wonder if they have my size though..hee..pray pray...Argh, and guess what? This picture is the wallpaper for my mobile phone. Hahaha...


Next stop, "Gift a Name". Like i told nina, it's an old shop with just a new name and new shop design. Geez..Saw this fuzzy little Winnie the Pooh pens. The Winnie would light up when you write. How cute. I wanted to buy it, but on second thoughts, it's really just for display, not something you would use. But...i'm still considering...haha..


Second last stop, the all-time favourite, Toys "R" Us! Somewhere near the entrance, these furry flowers stood pretty, welcoming every consumer with all smiles.


Purple Barbie cooker stove with basin. "Batteries not included" Er, does it need batteries in the first place? I dont think so...


Sanrio corner in Toys "R" Us. I still cant find my $14.90 Hello Kitty handphone chain! Argh, the handphone chain is really charming. A diamond studded chain, complete with the famous "mouthless" glittery cat. It will not fail to catch your eyes! a pity i cant find it anywhere anymore..SIGH....so here's the Sanrio corner...


Before we head off for home, we decided to take some photos...but the pictures arent clear..so i shall wait for nina to scan them in..hee..

Til then Folks!~ ChEeRs!!~ ;)

One down...4 more to go..

Yesterday's CB paper, i've got no confidence. Sad, just hope to pass? Urgh..dread it...

I thought MMR was interesting and fun. I thought...

It is rather interesting when you've got all the findings, but fun? NO!

It's extremely tedious and tiring. We got rather satisfactory marks, but all the efforts and tears are only known by the individuals. The time sacrificed instead of having retail-therapy, shopping, fun, dating for some... Phew, it's over...for now..i mean projects..

4 papers still await us.

I'm taking a break from MMR now. Been writing my own notes, hopefully of use.

I'm gonna take a one hr break, then start blinding myself with the MMR notes again. Cant wait for this paper to be over, then I can start on Legal Systems and Contracts, the module i had always been interested in.

Since young, my pri sch friends( mainly V4), would aspire to be famous, capable, and rich lawyers fighting cases for influential and innocent people when we grow up. Sure, childhood apirations don't always come true. Each of us have gone on seperate routes, all except the route to being a lawyer. Haha...

I seriously considered taking up law, but i guess being a lawyer isnt for me. Look at all the Law lecturers, why did they decide to teach instead of being senior lawyers at those law firms? Guess being a lawyer isnt so glamourous afterall. True, their pay is high, but what we dont see is their stress and hard work behind the scene. Hmmm.....

Well, i shall just continue running towards by goal to be in advertising for now...

Run!!~~~

Oops, nope. I gotta ru for my exams first..haha...

Til Then Folks...~~~

What a week...

Well, Nity brought good news of our CB and MMR CA2 results..For CB, 81. For MMR, 75. Woohoo!!~~ Congratuations, and Celebrations....

"I'm so happy~~"

Ooh..wait..not yet..happy I might be...there's still 5 more papers to go before we can celebrate. Geez...

This news really brought light to me, just like how the lighthouse always shine on you to make sure you wont steer into the "trouble waters".

I totally do not have any confidence in CB at all, especially after i failed my CB test, and re-test. In the end, i only got 44..haha..

No, i cant let this go on...STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!!


Geez...I've gone crazy after staying home for 5 days trying so desperately to bury my head into all those notes, after the total waste of the whole week of study break.

Urgh...hard time studying...

Everytime i think i have studied enough, the next time i read through the same stuff, i would go, "Woah, how come i didnt notice this?"

Yepz, so i would start refreshing everything again...again and again...these stuff pass through my brains, and most of them escape from my brains shortly after.

No matter how hard i try to stop them, they just manage to run away time and again.

Geez...k...enough..back to my boring CB notes...

well well......

Seriously, I always question myself, "Have I done at least enough for this project? Have I done sufficient? Did I do it well? Will the rest of my group mates be at least satisfied with my work?"

Often, my answer is, "No."

I have no confidence in most of my work, and of course, it either means I really am incompetent or have absolutely no confidence in myself, well, maybe the first reason caused the second reason in a way...Geez...

I'm not one who leaves others in the lurch, that is, if you are worth it. The people I consider as friends do worth the helping hand, of course.

The thing is, if you do not raise your hand for me, how do I give you a hand? Even if I desperately want to, I wouldn't know you're drowning...

I think there's no need to keep it to yourself. If there's anything one feels that is unfair, Please, voice it out. Please do not swallow your unhappiness and be unhappy yourself. It certainly isn't a good way for most of the situations.

We might not be IT-savvy, but we definitely have conscientiousness. Knowing you're sinking, we will definitely throw the life buoy to you, or even jump in to help.

I agree totally with Winoa, all this complaining online should stop, totally.

Since we aren't any kids who can't talk reasonably with, we should express it the way we should--trash it out.

Any misunderstandings should be talked over calmly. We are not kids anymore, right? There's no more, "I don't want to 'friend' you already."

Like in my case, I did not talk to Alicia face-to-face about my discomfort towards her attitude. Instead, I wrote her a letter which you all have read.

Initially, I too, used the widely-used method, that is, writing all my unhappiness in my blog and keeping it all to myself. But I realized that isn't a good method, it would only make me even more unhappy. The best method was to directly let the other party know how you feel.

In my case, I knew I wouldn't be able to get all points across, or I would forget some points if I talk to her directly, and she'll end up quarelling with me. To prevent any quarrels, i chosed the 'best' way available at that time.

Eventually, I approached the letter method, where I could craft my words. (Ok, I didn't craft them exactly nicely, but what I wanted her to know was eventually included in the letter.)

I opened the option for feedback. Unfortunately, none came back.

She did not reply me, not even a mention of it. Everything happened so quickly that I can't really remember to whole procedure now. But the line is now clear between us. We would only cooperate when there's a project.

Classmates may be classmates, and there are classmates whom I really wish to treasure, even after we graduate. Don't you?

How nice if we could all sit down at some posh cafe with excellent ambience and talk about how stressed up we were with project stuff, talk about our lives, gossip about some others, and complain about our kids, over some supreme Latte, some 10 years later.

Isn't it great? No unhappiness, only mutual understanding. How nice...

I feel that most of us in the class have been through a lot. I was rather upset when the class was in some troubled waters last sem. Gladly, the rainbow appeared.

For example, I used to quarrel very frequently with one of my best friends. Any misunderstanding, both of us would voice our unhappiness and somehow we would start quarrelling. But after some quarrelling, there's a better understanding of each other, and our friendship becomes stronger.

My dad once told me, the working world has no compassion, once you're no longer competent, you're out. If you're not contributing, the boss would start ranting at you.

All of us have to enter this cruel society as adults one day. I am reluctant to enter that realm, but do we have a choice? Unless you choose to lead your life simply in some village, which I don't think I would till I've gotten some results and recognition in my future work. Ok, I admit, I'm rather ambitious, but I believe I'm not those kind who stop at nothing to get success.

Oops...digressing...

Anyway, I had a dream last night, which can also be included as nightmare.

I dreamt that I contracted some disease, not terminal though. The doctor in my dreams said I would be alright if I went through a series of treatment and medication. Strangely, the hospital was just opposite our school's very comfy meeting room(only in my dream). Thus naturally, I walked back to our hang-out(the DMC 2A05 meeting room in my dream). I wasn't devastated, probably because since young, I have been preparing myself that something would strike on me, especially since I have a weak constitution.

The first person i met was Ms. Kwa (yeah, our MMR lecturer), she was the first other person to know of that illness. Thereafter, she accompanied me to our meeting room to wait for the rest to come back from a tea-break.

When everyone came back, i broke the news and assured it wasn't infectious.

What's comforting in my dream was that everyone in the class gave me the support I desperately needed. Everyone gave me a comforting hug and words of comfort. I was so touched that tears just went trickling down. The atmosphere was so comfy, so cosy...

Strange dream, but definitely not a bad one.

Geez...

Well well, gotta get back to my studies...Hahaha...

Til Then...study hard peeps!!~~

I can't write!!!

I can't write anymore. Whatever i produce for Feature Writing is rubbish. I hate my writing now.

Where are you? Why is it that i can't find you? Where have you gone, my inspirations?

My writing sux, the language sux, i can't write like before. My sentences don't flow, and my brain just doesnt come up with the right ideas and words.

I'm bothered by it, so bothered. I tried reading more books, good books. But it just doesnt seem to help. My writing still isnt good. I used to be able to churn out rather satisfying stuff( i mean i'm satisfied..gee..).

This feeling is exactly the way i felt when i was in sec 4. For the whole year, i wasnt able to produce satisfactory stuff. All i did was to chunk rubbish in all my pieces of work. And my stuff even barely got a pass. Perharps, the good weather during the "O" levels English paper saved me. That weather brought back my the feeling of writing. It was raining cats and dogs, the weather was extremely cooling, or should i say it was cold. There i was, all tensed up for the paper i look upon the most. The splashing of the rain on the roof, the cold wind blowly at everyone of us, the invigilators walking around, the worried faces surrounding me...It all just seemed so right to write...

What's wrong? Seriously, i have no idea.

I loved the feeling of writing in primary school. Ideas, inspirations and words just came so smoothly to me. Even in Sec 1 and 2, writing was a joy.

Now? It seems to be lost, and i'm not able to find it everywhere. I went to the Inspirations Department to report it's lost after 24 hours, but they said they couldnt help.

Hey! You There? Can you come back to me now?

See...i'm going crazy.

Not being able to write is one of the last things i would want to happen. No, i dont even want it to happen.

Well...i should just continue seaching for it...maybe the lost and found department could help me...

I'm crazy...hardly sane..yepz..

a quiz...

Which 1990's Subculture Do You Belong To?

[Another Quiz by Kris
@ couplandesque.net]

Doesn't seem exactly true for me. I follow trends only wheni like them and feel they're appropraite, i don't any-o-how blindly follow trends like some do.(Geez..)

Well, the girl beside my just complained of her finers being fat. She asked the guy whether her figure was fat and he replied,"a little la". She continued insisting herfinger was fat...What the hell....

well..miscommunication...again..

I was early, 10 mins before 9am, i reached Dover. I thought we were meeting to go to class, but i guess i just misunderstood...again...well well...

So here I am, typing away alone, beside a lovey dovey couple trying to do their project.

I had painstakingly finished up my MMR past year paper last night, while watching TV. It took me rather much of an effort to make myself face the paper and do it. *plop* It had dropped into the drain.

Retrieve it? Forget it...too tired to do so...

Phew, anyway, i finished my Feature Writing article last night. All I have to do now is to double-space the whole thing and print it. Then, slowly walk to Ms. Hui's office and hand her the piece of work that i had painfully worked on. Ok, not painfully, but at least with much effort.

After all that slow motion, i would 'slow-motionly' embark on my journey home.

And when I get home, i shall....hmmm...study?

Yes, i should start studying now! Study study study should be the only thing in my mind now. *yawn*

"XueQing go marching one by one. Pera! Pera! Xueqing go marching two by two. Pera! Pera! The xueqing go marching three by three the little ant stopped to climb the tree.....and they all go marching down, to the ground, to the earth, from the rain...Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom....."

My funny pose...i wasn't fooling around k...this pose has some purpose...n
photoshop enhanced...geez...




"It's not taxing at all!~"

We went to Winz house, ok, as usual, on saturday, and took photos. It wasnt
for fun, though it was rather fun. Haha....Ooh, and for the first time in ages, I
was EARLY for appointment!!! Hahahahahaha.....Havent been early for a long long time cause the rest are always late, ok not all, but you-know-who-you-are....When i feel that the person would be late, i would dilly dally, and in turn, i become even later than the person and in the end we waste everyone's time. Geez, so, i have decided. I shall try to be early, or at least punctual. Hee...scold me if i'm late(dun be too harsh), or i'll scold you if you're later than me(i'll be fierce) Hahaha.....;D

By the way, last week in the midst of doing our project, Clarice and I left our group to pose for some promotional brochure for Mr Loh's sake at the DMS. Here's 2 photos..
Clarice and Weeting in DMS...from this angle, it looks awkward..but..No...They're not doing anything funny...juz debating on some girl's voice on the screen....geez...



In Digital Media Studio...posing for the brochure..."smile..bring out the sparkle in your eyes!!



In Weeting's clubhouse...Des playing wif the 'Sword'...oops...


Jiayong preparing to counter attack Desmond....Ahhh!!.....


During tutorial, Mr Loh was asking who he should ask to pose for the brochure, and we suggested Desmond. But he didnt come to school, as usual?
Geez...
Mr Loh calling Des, asking him to come to sch to pose for the DMC brochure, scheduled to be distributed nex yr to cheat little kids...haha..jk..


In the end...he still didnt come...haha...
Around that few days, i met Diana at the main library, doing her project too, think she was writing her report for Media in Asia. Thought of taking that
module, hmmm...well, i would think about that in the future when it's time..


Diana and me...guess where we took this photo?.................guess.....guess...........guess..............yepz, the toilet! hahaha....

Ok, gotta do my Feature Writing article now....

Til Then.....;) ChEeRs!~~

Phew...what a relief..

It's been a long time since I reach home when the sun's still hanging up above me.

We had been intensely rushing our MMR/CB project, especially this week. I'm glad the major projects are over. A little sense of achievement for pulling through such tough times, cause it has been terribly tiring. Everyone's extremely tired, it's all shown on the faces. I'm no exception. I slept at like 6am in the morning the previous night. Yes, 6 AM.

Everyday after school, my group would drag ourselves to the main library to complete our stuff. Why don't we go to the Biz library when it's so near? Simple, cause the Biz library is like a commoner's market, wet market. It so noisy, there's no way you can concentrate fully on what you're doing. Ok, unless you're desperate to complete the stuff seriously, then you might be able to get engrossed in your own stuff and ignore the buzzing all around.

"Aiya, like that no good la!"
"Like that ok ma.."
"Yeeee…dun wan! Change!"

They whined...

Quote from Ivan, "Oh, just shut up!"

It's really irritating. When you're all focused to do your stuff, desperately wanting to finish it up, these people just go whining around and pollute the environment which supposedly was to be quiet.

Hello? It's a library. Even if there's no "Keep Quiet" sign all around, it's common knowledge and basic courtesy to keep your volume down. It doesn't mean that since there's a "Quiet Zone", the rest of the library can be noisy. Which part of Q-U-I-E-T don't they understand? These people just don't get it. The most irritating ones are those who make noises keep nobody's business, especially when you're cracking your brains to get something out. Many times I just feel like getting up and slap them to make them shut up and get out. Yepz, that's the violent side of me. The Absolute Threshold of each individual, one would tolerate things to a certain standard. If things get way too far, the volcano erupts.

Geez….

After all the major projects, we still have DMA's IRAS CD-Rom to do, and FW's investigative article. I had initially planned to do on "Youths on Public Transport Behaviours", on how youths perceive public HUGE display of affection, on kids running around in the MRT (cause their mums just don't care), teenagers making lots and lots of noise and blocking of passageways inconsiderately, etc. But Hui said it isn't really 'investigative' enough. So I think I shall just take her suggestion and write on "Youths on Slimming".

Anyway, this morning was quite a crazy rush. We rushed to the main library to print our stuff, but the main library only opens at 8:30am. Geez… Thereafter, in ECM tutorial, my ECM group started to discuss what we wanted t present. It was quite horrible, cause we only had like 10mins preparation. We hadn't discuss anything the night before, so our whole presentation was impromptu. Didn't score that well for our presentation, but our report score was rather satisfactory. The project which I hadn't had much confidence in, the project which I became like the 'invisibe' hand pushing everyone along somehow, with Mango. And to think someone complained of IT's workload. What the hell…The "best" thing is there's no peer evaluation form!!!! ARGH!!! Haiz...and IT thinks IT did a lot...(rolls eyes)...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went for a little retail therapy at Jurong Point with my mum and bro just now. Bought some clothes and daily stuff. Mum bought me a perfume from John Little which smells like Escada's Island Kiss. Since i cant get that, i shall just settle for the second best. ;)

Pictures to be updated..in a while...ChEeRs!!~~
