“FYP brings out the bitch in everybody”

Seriously, you only see your friends’ / classmates’ / schoolmates’ true colours when you guys embark on a significant project like FYP.

Friggin disappointed with everything, everybody.

Makes me think of the poor people in the grp struggling to put everything together and you guys are there shaking legs, doing the simplest of all and yet, still lamenting.

Put yourself in our shoes for once and think about how much effort we have put in. THINK, YOU SELF-CENTRED PEOPLE.

To think that my first impression of you guys were good.

To my dear friend who will probably never get to read this

Ok this is gonna be a post for my friend.

Though i only know her barely, we’ve gone on the same trip to Japan and camped together. It was really awesome getting to know people like her.

During our Japan trip, she was always the leader, helping and approaching us whenever we had help and yet, she couldn’t even speak a single Japanese! yeah, she was that nice. 😀

I will never forget her signature yellow ducky coat. Whenever the few of us were struggling our way through the throngs of people esp during peak hours at Tokyo station (which had like, what 40 over exits), she will always be our guiding duck, haha, leading us to the right way.

She was like a big sister to me during that 10 days. It meant something to all of us.

Ok before this post turns out way cheesy, i better end this by saying, IT’S GREAT TO KNOW YOU GIRL! 😀 ALL THE BEST IN YOUR STUDIES ABROAD!

It was great to know her. Great to know everyone during that 10 special days of my year 1 life.

Unforgettable times. 😀

What do you wanna be?

For me, i’ve not really given it much thought but ever since last monday when a guest speaker came to talk about her experiences from the industry and the campaigns she has manned, i thought “wow”.

It made me wonder what i wanted to do, ok it may be quite early still, so i decided to think of what i wanted to intern in first. Advertising? PR? Events? Research? 😮

Then it hit me.

Branding.

Maybe i should try working in those branding agency, i mean it would be quite fun, handling clients that could be from beauty & healthcare industry to sports industry. wow. 😀 and i can put what I’ve learnt to good use as they’ll probably have those integrated communications campaign. 😀

Anyway just wanted to say A BIG THANKS to all those who helped with my interview with or without bribes haha 😀 😀

Keeping myself busy

Today happens to be one of the rare days that I desperately wanna go out, bring my cam and take some photos etc or like try out some cafes hidden on the slopes of Ang Siang Hill.

So anyway today was another working day for me. The past week has been either work/school (if there’s no school, then i’ll go to work) lol. Yeah you can say it’s a desperate attempt to earn as much while there’s still some time left before school. Aren’t you guys excited?!?! -_-

Yday i was kept busy at school, doing up slides for Night Safari. No, not promoting a new creature or whatsoever. Ironic much but I’m part of the social media team doing up banners and promoting….Halloween Horrors 2011. Yeah and i swear when i googled some images for the banners, it was worse than a horror flick for me. I can’t reveal much (due to confidential agreements blah blah blah) but yday before our turn to pitch to the client, i had to sit through 2 torturing hour long presentations by 2 groups of SP students. It was supposedly their FYP. Gosh the first group was soooo boring and they took 1 hr 10 mins (my friend actually recorded the time lol) to present their whole plan for HH 2011. T_________T

It was….painful.

The 2nd group entertained us (through their presentation) until midway where it became quite boring as well.

But both groups had a common point – GORE.

So if you ever attend/plan to attend HH 2011, one thing’s for sure, expect to see hardcore GORE.

Temp jobs

I just found the type of job i like.

DESK JOB.

Yes, while most people find it boring, i actually like it. I feel relaxed working on the desk and often looking forward to more work (yeh to that extent) when i’ve completed a certain task. 😮

And so the next holiday/vacation/break, i’m looking forward to admin job and not retail anymore D: It’s really not worth standing the whole day, earning a little sum as compared to sitting comfortably on an office chair with your own desk space and air-con~~T_T

 

One of the more amazing Glee cast

I’m not a fan of Maroon 5’s misery BUT I THINK THIS BEATS THE ORIGINAL HANDS DOWN. 😀

If you haven’t heard of Darren Criss, go check his string of covers from glee over at youtube OR SIMPLY WATCH GLEE SEASON 2!! ((((:

On an unrelated note,

today (if you haven’t read the previous post) was my presentation to the SP directors. Okay i felt that our presentation was alright, but could definitely have been better and i think i learnt alot from this, like a lot and if given another ad campaign, i wouldn’t mind doing again. The ABE and CASS directors esp, were really insightful and detailed although yeah, they were rather strict  esp the ABE director who kept shooting non-stop. D:

Nevertheless, even if we don’t get it, at least i know our group has tried and worked hard for it. (:

Thrifty? not for me D:

Tmr’s the final presentation to the client, hope i don’t fumble or anything D:

Anyway yday i earned $40 cash doing nth but answering survey qns on…ICE-CREAM :D:D heh would love to do it all over again.

And the survey was supposed to be an hr long but cus the surveyor was probably worn out from surveying people the whole day (plus mine was the last slot) so she sped up and we took 30 mins to complete it! 😀

After that went to nanja monja to have dinner (photos will be posted up soon!), what an awesome saturday i had.

TODAY,

i went shopping (my wallet’s itchy) and spent all my 40 bucks received yday plus some of my savings ): Thank god at least i didn’t spend that day’s pay, or else i would really have no $ earned this holiday. ):

Same status

okay 2 weeks of unemployment is seriously no joke.

It’s an irony how we feel lethargic towards projects and dread school so badly that we wish that holidays would come sooner. And now here I am, in the midst of the 6 weeks’ break and I feel equal lethargic because…i’m not doing anything productive. It’s always the usual laziness, rotting at home and watching dramas (I even ran out of stuff to watch ): ).

Honestly, now i’m actually envying those ppl who are doing their internship now, whilst I’ve to wait till next year to do mine. ):

Anyway new kdrama alert: 49 days.I think it’s not bad, although quite similar to “who are you?” kdrama but i think it will be better than that. Try watching if you’re free (:

New record?

I think i’ve just set a new record: I have not blogged since one month ago *gasps*

LOL.

But then again, no one reads this online journal anymore, everyone’s busy with their own stuff (attachments etc) now.

So why the sudden update?

Well, i’m at a loss now cus i seriously need A JOB!!

The impact of unemployment in Singapore has finally hit me; this is the first time since a poly break that i’m jobless. Like totally cannot find any suitable jobs that do not require a commitment of more than a month ):< (and with good pay)

Was so desperate till i wanted to go back to my old employers to ask for jobs, but i wanted to try something new.

So now i’m just waiting for responses from my old colleague and stalking several job search websites.

Relaxed but only for a while

At last a breathing space for me to rest and think about my next plan.

Friday was the toughest ordeal for me as i had a social media campaign reflection journal, an advertising pitch (presenting the whole report of 50 pages into 5 mins which i would say is insanity but makes you think of the key ideas) and an exam.

Yeah and my thurs was spent mugging almost 24/7 cuz i slept at 5am and woke up at 6am to study for an hr before i set for school (which so unfortunately starts at 8am) ):

Due to the lack of sleep, my brain was dead by the time i made it to the exam hall. Fortunately some hardworking brain cells (just a pathetic few) was diligently working to overcome whatever obstacles and focus so that the qns made sense to me.

Hopefully, all my hard work won’t do unjust to my grades.

By the time everything had ended, it was already 7pm. whee and all that was left was just a short social media meeting and off i go to meet laos. (:

Had a great time even though we failed to get laoda to treat us ben n jerry’s. Looking forward to the next laos outing! (:
