Updates Badly Needed...
Last week:
It was entirely a blur actually... I only remembered studying for promo quiz, which I did well becos the tutor was lenient in his marking, preparing for apb presentation speech. The rest of the time was devoted to promo project. Our project was supposed to come up with an advertising campaign for HPB for AIDS/STIs prevention. It wasn't so easy as it seems actually. Me and my group were so busy. We practically put everything else down and work on this project. I remembered we met on mon, wed, fri, sat and sun.
Mon:
My Daddy's birthday!! But that is actually secondary because it's the promo project presentation!! To be honest, this can be considered as the biggest presentation in NUS for me yet. It's not the first time I had a presentation in formal wear (biz com's presentation is considered huge too), but this is the first time whereby my grade for a module is entirely hinged on a presentation. We worked really hard for it man. We had a lot of props, and Karen had to borrow her bf's car to bring it to school. She drove us to sch too and had a little dry run in sch b4 rushing to APB lecture. It's really funny actually. We all are dressed in black suits with red tank tops inside to represent our agency BBDO's colour. So imagine when we walked into the LT.... hahaha...
Then it's presentation!! I fumbled, because I did not memorise the speech properly... my fault. But luckily I caught myself before I made a huge error. And the clients were quite critical. I don't blame them. Actually, I expected it... oh well. After that presentation I felt so free!! Haven't feel so free for a long time. We took pictures, talked a little to our classmates and stuff and looked at other groups' presentation. We all actually came up with something that are more or less the same... blogs, carnivals etc. But there are 2 groups that went a little more ...'unsafe' and explicit which surprised me. I wasn't comfortable with the advertisements they put out actually. Also, there is a group in which Chris, who is an exchange student (yes la ang moh la), presented the entire campaign!! Without cards!! I was super amazed. Must learn from him man.
Then at the end of the whole thing, we took pictures!! We took with our tutor Jorg, who was really nice. I learnt a lot from him actually. He is actually quite cute. When I asked him whether he can wear more handsome this wk, he was shocked. Then he said "I try". LOL... Another time, he said something like "The regional heads of the ad agencies are normally ang mohs" and the whole class is shocked because he said the word "ang moh" when he himself is one... There are other little little incidents too... The pictures are with Karen now. Will put it up when she sent to us.
Me and Yiwen
Me and Melissa... I got a fat chin going on huh??
Me and another classmate... and if u can't wait to see Jorh, he was at the background. Hahahaha....
And I realised from Melissa that he has a website for his own company. I doubted anyone wants to see it, but if you do, go to http://www.jorgdietzel.com/.
Nice class. Esp Darren aka Nosie Phua... haha... I called him Nosie on Mon and he actually answered me!! Hahaha...
Our classmates may not been great, but the class is fun.
Tues, Wed:
Mug for Corporate Finance test. Finally got the time to do it!! It's really important because this test is like an exam to me... 40% and there is no final paper so yeah...
Thurs:
Corp Fin test. I reached the sch at 840am. The last time I was late for it but it wasn't my fault!! It was because of the jam when I took 96... Anyway I think I escaped the jam this time. But I entered the place late because I went to the toilet and buy milo.. lucky Irene saved me seat. But in the end the prof made me swapped my place with someone else...)= Irene was saying that he confirmed change our seats.... but actually also got no use cos he switched me to sit with someone I know!! LOL... But lucky I was early because Yingqi was slightly late and she had to sit at the prof's place due to no seats left!! And as Linda said, the prof was cute. He said "You guys had 3 mins left" at about 10.55am (the test was until 12pm) before he said "Just kidding..." Glad that it was over.
Fri:
Went for Gen Bio lecture only. I can skip it, given that that is the only lesson I have the entire day but I don't want to keep skipping it. Felt gulity so I went. Finally get to see Wei Wei... so long haven't see each other liao. (Jul also) Saw eleen on the way home. She scolded me for not choosing my major. Her exact words? "这样老了，还没选major!!" (so old alr, haven't choose major!!) Oh well. I still don't know but I shall think about it after my exams. She was entirely shocked when I told her I only have 3 papers to study for this exams because promo is project based while cf was done. LOL... and I TOLD HER TO START STUDYING!! She is always not studying!!
Went to dr chua to buy lotion and eat Mr Bean's ice-cream again... I ate it on mon after the promo project. And you know what?? You know the paper that is placed at the end of the cone? The one whereby it covers the end of the cone? The people there did not take note and put the ice-cream inside the paper!! I went for a refund, and they gave me a almost new cone, so I get to eat about 1 3/4 of mr bean's ice-cream... hahaha.. Then went to TM Times bookshop and get a look at the latest novels in town... already set my sight on a couple of books alr.
And you know what? I haven't place my order on the last bk of Harry Potter!! Times are selling at $49.90 and I think it's too expensive. The last book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince, cost me $40.50. I am waiting to see whether Popular will sell at a lower price... (=
So that's it. A little update. Eleen told me that she doesn't what I am obsessing over and doesn't understand my blog, but I guess this entry she should be able to understand?? Lol...
Ok, Videos time.
I saw the video on MTV just now and I was like "Whoo Hoo!!" Maroon 5 is back!! I think I want to buy their album. Their first album did not disappoint me. And this song "Makes Me Wonder" rocks!! And Adam Levine is cool!! I love it!! Bring on Maroon 5!!
Then it's advertisements time. This is from Budweiser, a beer product. This is an old advertisement and it's one of the earlier advertisements that Jorg showed us. It's a very successful advertisement... you will know why after watching it.
And it created spinoffs too!! Here is one of them...
And for Volkswagen, instead of pimping the ride (from the mtv show), they un-pimp your ride...
Oh well. So I think that's it. I can't remember anymore advertisements liao... there are a lot actually. Oh well.
Cheerios. Got to sleep early cos got to teach tuition.
