Quotes about men

I just like the these two few quotes from Pride and Prejudice about men...

What are men compared to rocks or mountains?

Men are either eaten up with arrogance or stupidity. If they are amiable, they have no minds of their own.

Another line from the book....

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Jane Austen is a genius. Love these lines...

Just want to share these out there....

Anyway, American Idol has Gwen Stefani as "guest music teacher"!! I love her. So much style.... looking forward tml when she is performing with Akon... must be the song The Sweet Escape..

Back to work. Cheerios.

So much updates...

Meant to update last week but no time so here goes...
Last wed, 21 Mar 2007:

Met Yiwen, Kak Ling and Melissa to go SMU to interview a friend of ours and do surveys... so tired. But guess what?? I was the first to arrive!! So rare right??!!! Everyone was late due to one reason or another (eg yiwen said she had to go toilet and shit the last min and caused her to have wobbly legs...) so I held the grand honour of "being the first person here". Everyone was happy for me, esp wen cos she had waited for me countless times in the past... meeting xiaoyuan aka xiaoyun was very fun. Went ard smu and look look... esp those places whereby u can't access without smu matric card... their school so nice!! But guess what? I was so unfamiliar with their toilets that I actually walked into the janitor's room when I was trying to get out!! So embarrassing!!

Went home in the afternoon to take a nap before going to the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!! And guess what?? Was supposed to meet jul at 5pm in tamp interchange and she called me at 5.30 to find me sleeping!! I totally slept through my alarm clock!! Smashed my good record in the morning!! Rush out of the house and had to take a cab to reach Vivo on time... Suckers.

When I entered the cinema, there was no place to sit!! I was randomly head for a 2 seats in the 3rd row from the front and sat down. Guess what? It was then I realised that I was sitting beside 987 DJ Shan Wee!! Was very shocked but was trying to act like I wasn't... hahaha. Typical. He was very good looking up front, super tall. His legs was so long that the Vivo seats do not have enough leg room for him!! He kept shifting up and down... pity the person who sat directly behind him man. Wanted to ask to take a picture with us but we shy... hahahaha

Linda told me she heard that he's gay... )= Spoiler. But at least I sat beside him for 2 hrs.

Oh yeah, the movie was ok. I love Michaelango!! I dun use to have a fave turtle but now I like him!! He's so like me!! Klutz!!

And I think Zhang Ziyi was voicing one of the characters...

After the movie, we went to Tangs... and I found my Michael Kors Island perfume there!! I am so in love with the bottle!! I want to buy but the smallest is $65.. I love the scent and the bottle!!!
Thursday, 22 march:

Corp Finance professor's wife gave birth and post the announcement that there will not be any class that day at 6.20am. Who will on their computers at 6.20am?? He's nuts!! Made me go to school all the way for nothing...

Sat, 24 march:

Went to Orchard to get my Lancome free gift for members after biz com test in the morning...The person at the scotts counter was so unfriendly. Know that I don't have money to buy their stuff she gave me attitude. So rude!! So what I don't have money to buy~!!?? I know your products ok!! Irritating... hate this type of sales person.

But my membership is expiring end of next month and I have no means to maintain it... so at least I will not be dealing with lancome personel for a while.

But when I earned enough money, I shall buy so much lancome stuff that all the sales persons kiss my toes...~~

Sun, 25 march:
Had a promo marketing meeting. Rarely so productive. Very happy. And I bought another pair of shoes on that day too... sighz. 4th pair within this sem. One S&K slippers, 1 C&K sandals flats, 1 pointy red toe shoes and 1 peep toe polka dot....
My mum said that I kept buying shoes.... )=

Mon, 26 mar:

Went to school early for biz com meeting. Presentation this wk and videotaped!! Nervous!! So much work to do! Then skipped APB lecture to go field trip for promo... Went to BBDO Singapore, which is large advertising agency in the world. Had offices in 77 countries I think. Our tutor used to work there before he resigned 2 years ago.... I like that place and the offices. They don't exactly have cubicles... they have places that looks more like dens. The people there looks friendly. But they speak in perfect english!!!~~ SO scary.

The job opportunities look good too. One person told us that she moved from sg to hk to london then back to sg... London le!! They are actually offering internships to us... it will be good to be an intern for BBDO. Can open a lot of doors. But it's hard to get it. They will give u a brief to work on and they recruit based on that work.... not easy huh?

And our tutor actually introduced us as "business students from SMU"....................... a couple of us actually boo him.. lol...

Very fun trip. Glad that I skipped APB. Eye opener.

The ang mohs working there (those of higher positions...) look friendly and fun. They don't mind being teased by employees working below them... and I noticed there is actually one of them that is very very handsome... lol

Ok... basically there's what happened in the last few days... in a nutshell... super busy to blog. I wanted to watch music and lyrics actually but I was so busy. Doubt that I will have the time. Poor jul want to watch movie with me also cannot... sorry ar girl!! Will watch with u when I am done!!

List of things to do:
1. Biz Com presentation... need to modify
2. Biz Com speech... need to practise
3. APB report... I need to research on some figures
4. APB tutorial... doubt I have the time
5. Promo excel spreadsheet... my duty to do
6. Promo campaign part 1... my part to do.

Can't exactly say what our campaign will be... scared there are spies in my blog. =) Must act like real teams competing for real clients... which is true actually. We are competing for a chance to launch our campaign with a real client...

Promo project very heavy at the moment, but I am glad I took this module. Wei wei was right, it's an eye opener. Changed my way of looking at advertisements, their communication methods, my view of certain products, controversies... etc. The module forced u to think quite a bit. Not to mention I will never know the famous ad agencies names if I never took this module...

A lot of biz students have a lot of work... but I think I may have the heaviest workload of all becos of promo...
Ok, I better go back to work. Need to complete my gen bio assignment. Sigh.

Work is hateful. Sorry everyone if I act anti-social. Very busy and tired...

Cheerios.

Btw, Michael Phelps just smashed Ian Thorpe's seemingly unbreakable 200m Freestyle record... Phelps finished 1.43.86 in 2007 championships, while Thorpe's record was 1.44.06 during 2001 championships... I am a little upset cos it's Ian Thorpe's record but if I can choose who to break his record, it's Phelps. Phelps is an amazing swimmer!! Love him too. Not to mention he is cute too.... hahahah... Read the article here.

Tired with work

Realisation....

I don't like it when people whisper secrets in front of you. I don't know how everyone else feels about this, but I feel that this is downright rude and awful. If you don't want the person to know anything, don't whisper in front of the person!! Can you imagine how the person feels?

Once, I actually saw how hurt a friend of mine was when her another friend was whispering secrets with another person. From then on, I try my best to not speak of anything 'confidential' in front of anyone except the person/people who know about it. I know I made some slip-ups, but at least I tried. I don't like it when a person doesn't try.

I dislike the person more when he/she delibrately do so. You don't have to tell me how close u two are by whispering secrets to each other.

Come on guys, respect the person involved here.

And I don't mean gossiping. Gossips are done BEHIND someone's back, not in front or beside the person....totally different category.

Anyway, I went to research on the Beautiful Liar mtv by Beyonce and Shakira and found some stuff interesting...

1. Both of them wore matching hairstyles throughout the video.
2. Black is the only colour worn the entire video.
3. Complimentary scenes in video is shown all the time. Eg Beyonce in front of sunrise backdrop vs Shakira with sunset backdrop. Both of them with similar neck-plunging black dress. Beyonce is black dress while Shakira in black pants outfit during chorus. Beyonce in white bamboo backdrop with Shakira with green bamboo.

Whoa... what an effort to put such contrasts and similarities....I guess this is to show why a man can fall in love with one and cheats on another at the same time right (listen to the lyrics to understand this...)

Interesting.

Ok back to work before hitting the bed. Hope to update soon... but it's rather impossible. Got so much work to do... Haiz....

Sometimes, I just keep wondering....

Tuesday was a Good day

I had a good tuesday this wk.

Firstly, I won a pair of the Gala premiere of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle tickets on 987fm!! Never won anything on radio before. And it was totally unexpected. I sent in a sms to answer a question and I am the 1st one who got it right!! The question was:

Guess the odd song out and the reason from the following:

1. Wait a Minute
2. Promiscuous
3. Sexyback
4. Give it to Me

If u have enough english songs knowledge, u will know which one is the odd one out and why. Surprising, a lot of people got it wrong (according to the DJ). So I won the tix!! So happy cos Jul and I wanted to watch this show and now we get to watch it for free!!

And I heard myself on the radio. And it sucks because I was panting so hard, trying to get to school on time... so I talked in this high-pitched, squeaky, panting voice on air!! Ah...!! Luckily the DJ is a lady, or else I think I may came across as a pervert when I was breathing so hard on the phone. I don't think I need to say further.

Hahaha.. I am still rather happy about it. I bothered Weiwei the entire day (esp during bio lecture) with my "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE" jiggle... And we saw a male and female bodybuilder pictures in lecture today that caused me to ..... do my fave bodybuilder position for her again.. haha..

So, in conclusion, it pays to know english music well (=

And I also won some FHM thing which I don't know what the hell is that. =D

So, my movie listing for this year currently looks like this:
1. The Curse of the Golden Flower
2. Blood Diamond
3. The Illusionist
4. Babel
5. Dreamgirls
6. The Pursuit of Happyness

Jul, is that all?? I can't really remember liao... This is a very short list already... all because I was super busy and sick for the entire feb... but I expect it will expand soon.

If u count rented dvds then I guess Lovewrecked and World Trade Center will be in it...

Also, I got my tuition pay on tues too. So happy cos I was so broke then. And the mother gave me a little more... plus she gave me a lot of biscuits and food to eat while teaching.. so nice of her.


And I watched The Pursuit of Happyness!! Jaden Smith is absolutely cute in the show. I guess in real life too he is cute. I couldn't help but love him with his Knock Knock jokes, his other silly jokes and of course his "possibly, probably". And I agreed, Will Smith did a good job too. It is nice to see him acting in a real good show without those silly jokes and comical moves...

And the movie is good. Touching.

And on my way to meet jul for movies I met Kenny my ex-hairstylist from Jean Yip! He actually remembered me... the last we seen each other was 2 years ago. I don't go jean yip to cut anymore simply because it is too expensive... I can get the same haircut at $10 less. We talked a little (he thought I was actually working now), said something stuff like I matured a LOT (!!!)... ask me to drop by when I am free..

Nice tuesday. It's rare that I have a good day these days.

And I met Yuen Ling today on the way to school. Actually she saw me on the train way back in the east but she wasn't sure cos I was sleeping... which means that I must be in a darned good position when I was sleeping.. talked a little like how she purposely went to the lecture late cos the lecturer always recap for first 30 mins and she wasn't interested in the recap. And how she is still relatively early though she wanted to be late. What a different story from mine. I am trying desperately to be early or on time and still I am late...

And today my biz com tutor said that I and another classmate should try to 'murk' our looks sometimes in working in the future... I understand what she is driving at but she got the wrong person!!!

And Liting aka Auntie Janice said I had slimmed down a little, which I am happy about. (=

Haiz, but something dampening happened. I got to get my wisdom tooth out and it costs about $400 to $500... *sad* The visit to the dentist alone cost me more than half of my tuition pay... but my tooth is hurting badly. I know I got to extract it out... )=


And another dampening thing is also the person voted out of American Idol... Super sala (wrong)...

Ok, still got a lot to do. Better get back to it. Sorry I sounded a little incoherent. I am very sleepy now...

Cheerios.

P.S. I like this song that is currently playing... It's Ride For You by Danity Kane. If u have cable u would have seen the mtv... it's playing quite often. I don't know why but I like this song a lot... I love the lyrics, and the tune... may post the video some day... (=

Spelling

TO ROB: It's PHILIPPINES....not whatever crazy spelling that u have on ur signboard.....

It's so sickening. I know that a lot of people are probably not supporting "Romber" but I love them. Rob is smart and a strategic player. Amber is careful and cautious. He gets their confidence up. She keeps their egos down. How perfect can a team be??

It's so sickening. I know I sounded crazy, but my heart was actually aching. I like them a lot. A lot of people hated them for being inconsiderate to other people but it's all in the game. To win. And of all people, they had to lose to the dwarf team. I hate that team!! So much complaints at other people when they themselves are at fault!!

They came in first for 3 legs in a row... then suddenly they are out. Caused me to lose some mood before going to school alr...

Argh!! Rob, why din u check ur boards!!???

Nobody expected them to be out so early in the race. I think everyone is shocked. No wonder the teaser trailer for this episode said "You won't want to miss the ending that will get everyone talking.." Well, at least I am talking about it...

So now for me it's Dustin and Kandice. Strong girls team. Which I like. It would be interesting for them to win as the first girl team to win TAR: All Stars... Go Dustin!! Go Kandice!!

But the show will be not-so-interesting with Rob and Amber out... other teams are so preoccupied with them to the point of being obsessed. It's so fun to watch that.

And Amber is a pretty lady.

I'm so bummed out.

I better go and look at my executive summary for the last time. No Cheerios this time.

I did it again...

Went to tuition just now before meeting yiwen they all for our promo project. We are kinda behind with this project... so many stuffs we haven't do. But all of us are kinda distracted because there is a bio essay to hand it... so sickening.

But I got learn something new today!! I finally know how to take out my laptop's battery after 1+ yrs of usage!! Me such dumbo...

Today is Henrik Larsson's last game for Man Utd!! Sad... I like him a lot and wish he doesn't have to leave. But when I saw this picture of his, I 'almost died standing'... (mrs chua's words...)

Picture Link

Blond dreadlocks!! OMG... So funny and weird!!


Picture Link

I prefer his new 'botak' hairstyle... so much better.

Anyway, after skipping 3 gen bio lectures in a row (because they are all mainly about genes and dna which i know from genes and society...), I finally went for bio lecture with weiwei yesterday. It was a new lecturer, and boy wasn't he funny!! The topic of the lecture is about plants and their systems those kind of shit, and he bought so many plants into the LT. There are flowers, more flowers, a extension cable (to show us how pollen grains transport their male sperm-like thingy into the female-egg like thingy into the flower..). Also there are small leaves and big leaves. By big I really mean BIG. He bought this huge banana leaf and another big palm tree leaf into the class. He actually had to leave the palm tree leaf outside the LT because he did not have any space left for it in front of the LT... And at the end of the lesson, he needs 3 lab assistants to help him clear up...


Anyway, Irene: I hope after listening to u, I helped u feel better. I hope u dun hate me for not commenting on anything because I wasn't free to do so. And thanks for listening to me too...

And shit I bought another pair of shoes!! I bought 1 pair of flat sandals last wk from charles and keith and already my mum commented me as "turning into a shoes freak". And now I bought another pair!! But I couldn't resist it because I kinda like the colour!!

Yes it's red!! Actually there is brown and black and I was seriously considering buying another pair with the same colour before I stopped myself. And actually I saw another pair of shoes to buy in the same shop but I decided that one pair at a time (before my mum really starts screaming at me...)

Btw, Linda girl, I finally heard the 'Tick Tock" song on 987 on friday.

Hmm, I almost fell out of my chair also for that song. I never expect 987 to play him because from what I know, he was only known in UK and not overseas. When I was telling everybody that I love Lemar last year, nobody knows what I was saying. Went through so much trouble to buy his 2nd album because I wanted to avoid the shipment cost. Saw him when he was performing at Party in the Park in UK on the now-defunct channel i. He was singing the song 50/50 then, whic was btw one of my fave song of his because it is so cool. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't have so much trouble buying his 3rd album then.

And also, since Linda tagged me, I better play along with the game. She actually played along!! I almost fell out of my chair again when I saw that tag line on my tagboard because I tot she won't like playing such games... so well. Sometimes people just surprises u huh?

So what are we supposed to do? Well, people who get tagged need to post on their blogs their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog....

So here goes.

1. I love the smell of my bolester. The first thing I do whenever I go overseas and come back home is to smell my bolester to ensure myself that I am truly back home.

2. I have more clothes and shoes and accessories than what other people realise. I always keep some stuff as 'unworn' so that whenever situations arises and I need new stuff to put on without having the time to go shopping, I am ready.

3. I sleep with my face buried in my bolester. My mum nicknamed my position as 'the koala bear on a tree'.

4. I hate doing sports, but I am an avid sports fan. Tennis, swimming, soccer, figure skating, ice hockery, a little bit of rugby... I got a little of those in my pocket.

5. My latest sleeping time is 7am. I dare anyone to beat that. This excludes those people who stayed up 24 hrs.

6. I have at least 8 alarms to wake me up every morning for school. 1 alarm clock, 5 alarm warnings on my phone and a digital watch with an irritating album. Not to mention an occassional scream from my mum to wake up. But still I am late every morning. Go figure.

And maybe a 7th weirdo fact???

7. I used to be early and on time on all situations. I began my 'lateness' in jc2 all the way now... and I think I can safely say the source of this virus comes from Mei Xing...

So many weirdo facts... what to do? I am a weirdo...

And Linda, I am also a nocturnal animal too. We can be nocturnal buddies. I can't function in the morning too...

Cheerios!! Back to bio essay...

Boo...

She Shouldn't Be Gone!!

I know it's a little overload on videos at the moment...

But I can't help it.

With this kind of performance, how can Sabrina Sloan be gone?? There are worse singers than her in the top 12!!

Not to mention she is not too bad looking too.

I can't help by saying, America must be having some kind of crackers in their ears this time...

Ah!! She's one of my faves and it hurts that she's leaving...

Suckers.

Great Song

Addicted to this song now!!!

Timberland feat Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake - Give It to Me. So addictive and dance-y!!

Yeah!


Love it... But it sounds more like a Nelly Furtado song than Timberland because she kinda sang a lot of parts...

Enjoy!!

Long Overdue Update

This is a long overdue update....

Where to start? For starters, I am finally off medication even though I have to be careful with what I put in my mouth. After my gastric problem before the CNY, I actually had diarrhroea on 7th day to 8th day on CNY. Went back to the doctor for the fourth time in the month and found out this time it is gastric flu. Avoid eggs, milk and beans again...

So now I can declare myself almost fit, though I must make sure I have enough sleep and avoid eating too much of eggs, milk and beans... and of course avoid fried food, coffee and tea. So many things I cannot eat... )=

Had my promo presentation on the first day of school.. I was actually shaking when I was presenting because I was so unprepared. But lucky the ad I chosen was funny in its own way and that kinda broke the ice. I even saw my tutor laughing... for everything I may have done wrong in the presentation (eg I stutter so much during the presentation...), I guess I did something right.
Well, this is the advertisement that I used. Enjoy the ad!! It's sure very cute!!


Of course there is Corporate Finance mid term... I was late for the test!! And this time it is entirely not my fault!! I was early when I got out of the house and boarding of the train. It was due to the traffie jam during the 96 trip... which was horrible. I am still stuck at the same place as I was at 9am and I boarded the bus at about 8.25am. But lucky I can finish the paper..

But something interesting happened. Yingqi and I were stuck outside the room because the prof was... super mafan la. There is this exchange ang moh guy (btw, he is so tall that my eye level only reached his chest) who took his friend's cheat sheet (or in prof's words, 'pink sheet') before the test and was trying to return to his friend during the test. He said his friend's name is "Sa-wah-ka" or something like that. Anyway, it was an unusual name. But my prof, who is a Korean, said "Sawadika", which is Thai's Hello and Goodbye!! The ang moh guys tried telling him again but the prof kept saying Sawadika.. what is worse is that I don't think both of them know what does Sawadika mean... me and Yingqi were trying to stop ourselves laughing...
And then I realised something else then. The colour of the paper that the cheat sheet was written was in pink... That guy really followed the prof's 'pink sheet'... LOL...

Got so much to do now that it's crazy. I don't like Biz Com. Got to do so much work just for that few marks... 1.2% of my entire grade for a pop quiz. It's ridiculous. So much of other stuff to do. Promo project, Gen Bio essay, Biz Com executive summary... and APB project. Help!!

Ok, going out later to watch dreamgirls. Updates next time.

Till then. Cheerios.

Napping

A refreshing nap makes all the difference.

Suddenly, I am more productive with my work, which means my workload has the chance of being reduced.

I feel more alive, happy, human... more myself again.

And the world just seems to be a sligthly better place.

But don't be mistaken, I am still angry. But I am not so much pissed anymore.

Yes, I fly off the handle a little faster than other people. But at least if I fly off the handle, u know that something irks me too much.

Cheerios.

Are you guys trying to kill me?

Why am I always the one getting all the shit!!??

Can *You* guys care more about me than yourselves? It's all screwed up...

And the world doesn't revolve around *You*. Don't expect me to give up my stuff for *You*. I have my life.

I already ended up in the doctor's office for not having enough sleep. Stop trying to land me there again with the same reason and kill me with all that shit.

And don't tell me about TM. It is ur lack of TM that causes all that bullshit. Don't tell me what to do...

And for another matter, today Irene asked me how I tahan ******, and I told her I gave up. She can do whatever she wants to do. I don't care anymore.

I just don't care anymore. I am tired of it.

I have so much to say... but I can't.

Btw, the show Heroes is awesome!! Cable TV has never been better!!

Got to go to bed. Cya guys.

Cheerios.
