3 down! 1 more to go!
last paper, strategic marketing on next tues!
argh. ditto.
global was alrights today, UNTIL...
i suddenly had the impression that i numbered my section C's question number wrongly right after they collected the papers, and further confirmed it when i was talking to shihui after exam. OMG la. why the hell did i write 2 when i answered question 3?
so i quickly seeked help from my coordinator and she advised me to email the exam department and told me they'll forward my email to the RMIT's side. i am so sad. and extremely mad with myself.
i hope they'll get back to me soon and i hope it wouldnt jeopardize my marks. =((
anyways, papers this sem seems a lot better than the previous sem. sooo... i expect no failure. but i dont wish to speak too soon. lets wait for 4th dec when i get my results back.
had prata w ms soh after exam today @ al ameen? al azhar? and it feels like the end of exams alr. but no, very tragically, i still have one last paper to go.
we saw this cockroach digging for dont know what in one of those tiny holes on the floor and by nature, whenever there is cockroach around, i would lift my legs up. and one of the uncles saw me and shihui freaking out over that brown thing, he squashed it under his slippers without hestitation. the incident left me and shihui speechless for a while. hahaha.
and on the way home i took 852, and guess what. i was sitting on the chair and suddenly i saw this big ugly brown thing crawling towards me. i immediately jumped from my seat without thinking to far far away, hecking all the weird looks i got from the oh-so-big reaction. everyone was staring at an empty floor by the time i was at the back of the bus and wondering why i jumped from my seat because the ugly thing had crawled and hid under the chair i was sitting on alr. damn damn disgusting. i seriously hate cockroaches. i get nightmares about them all the time. oh man. i cant explain how much i loathe them. how much it scares me. i dont know why they scare me either. but i think they're just plain DISGUSTING.
anyhows, im looking forward to 4th nov, shihui's 21st, lishi's 21st, ah bu's 21st, dec- the merriest season of the year, as well as a new chapter not far ahead in life.
hello real world, im coming for you soon.

woohoo. biz finance was oookkayyy.. not too bad. HAHA. one down!
chanced upon this blog fire angelism which i thought the blogger was pretty dumb and offensive to moi as a singaporean. she obviously doesnt know what CULTURE means. CULTURE is unique to each and every country, the way pple behave, speak, think and act are all DIFFERENT. just because the culture here is not the same as back home, it doesnt mean we are weird or strange. pls lah, if the brain of yours actually works, OBVIOUSLY singapore and malaysia is gonna be different because we are two different nations. havent you heard singapore is a multiculture society, no room for racism, at least the govt would hear none of it, so OBVIOUSLY most of our fast food here would have to be halal right? otherwise lose business out to competitors meh? and so what if our food is bland? havent you heard of healthy eating? we eat like that this way, we like it, dont like it, dont eat la! go cook on your own. blame yourself for not being street smart enough to look for GOOD FOOD. so what if working/career women here carries LV, Gucci and all the branded stuffs? we have $$$$$, you dont ((= it doesnt mean we are SHALLOW. dumb bitch. yeah, so what if its common knowledge that LV never goes on sale? that was OLD OLD news, in case you dont know the business world is constantly evolving and changing as well, pple can change strategy one right? pple do promo differently in different countries and because times are changing, perhaps LV is becoming old-fashion with many younger and trendier high end stores entering this market, they needed to do something to save their sales, so they go on "sale", is it not possible? and so far in my entire 21 years of life living in singapore, i've not come across a single place-tissue-on-table-to-chope-seat problem, so you can consider yourself VERY SUAY.
alrights, enough of rantings ((=

boohoo...
am still going to the lib everyday to study with ms soh.
how boring can life get?? i've not step foot into anywhere else other than Jurong East and Bukit Batok since a week ago.
today's trip to the lib was EXTRAORDINARY, HEARTWARMING and touching, and it made my day, and making life worth living. hahaa.
its too long a story to tell here, but i met a young 12 or 13 year old girl in the lib today, she was not pretty, not even average, almost ugly (i am sorry, but i was taken aback/scared for a moment when i took a closer look at her) and has a limp when she walks because one of her leg is longer than the other.
however, beneath that exterior, she is quite an angel, definitely the sweetest person i've ever met so far. she is soft spoken, gentle, smiley, patient and extremely hardworking.
wont tell you what happened because i needa get back to studying soon. but i can only say she touched me heart today and made me realise that true beauty does comes from within. cliché but extremely true.
beauty is definitely more than just a pretty flawless face, hot bod, big eyes, sharp nose, straight teeth, long lashes and shampoo-advert worthy hair etc etc.
the girl i met today had none of those, but she had what many people did not have. pureness, patience, kindness, a giving heart and knowing how to be thankful.
the little care i showed her today was uncomparable to what
she showed me today. i merely asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me and shihui because we overheard her bro saying that she hasnt had lunch and on top of that, her heck care mom left her in the lib when she requested to. no objections no nothing, just left her like that. she rejected my offer very sweetly and politely and you know what she did? she left me a mentos sweet on my table when me and shihui left for dinner.
it was a simple act of gratitude, something this world lacks. it was a simple act that made my day. i was so touched you know.

so many people and things have become a distant memory.
it has become something i understood but not feel anymore.
i'm glad its over, yet, because its over, i'm making mistakes that i know i shouldnt be making.
i can only let it become a distant memory. start life all over. let the past and people go, embrace the present and live for the future. ((=
my present is darling, ee gongs, piano and marketing.
my future i hope will remain the same.

@5.56pm=========================================================
it was global mktg's final lect with geoffery yesterday (the bestest lecturer ever!) and he told us some funny news on f1 he read on the internet.
as everyone knows, ferrari's president called Singapore's racetrack a "circus". and our dear geoffery read somewhere that someone replied the president saying "if our track is a circus, then your drivers are clowns" HAHA. orbi.

uh-oh. its the 1st of oct alr.. happy childrens day as well as hari raya.
24 days left to the first paper.
we've yet to complete even half the final strategy proj.
uh-oh.
argh. need to start studying NOW NOW NOW.
i hate uni exams. i really do. i hate startegy marketing because the textbook is crap, the lecturer's notes are crap too. i think i need to use advanced marketing's notes to study if its of any help at all. we have no idea what/how the questions are like, no idea abt the subject. it is oh so familar and we think we know it, yet i dont know how to apply it because the lecturer and the textbook doesnt teach us how to apply because they only supply us with information which we've learnt since last semester, or since we've started studying marketing in poly. we've got to piece a mountain load of models, stratgies, implications and factors together from mixed modules such as advanced marketing, marketing communications, global marketing, consumer behaviour etc in order to write a piece of essay. i hate essay questions. i hate the debating parts because i always write pages of possibly nonsense till my hand is gonna break yet i dont know if i got my point across. i dont know how to study for the exam. HOW?
but anyways, its time to complete a teeny bit of start proj now and hopefully i'll be disciplined enough to read some global text or sales articles later in the day.
so sayonara.
