How true to reality

I saw this advertisement introducing a new show on cable tv while watching American Idol (always catching it on cable because it shows way earlier than channel5). It's for one of those sitcoms that StarWorld always shows but I never really caught one whole series of it.

LIFE - DREAMS = JOB

This is so pathetic lah. And to think many people actually fall under this category, me included. But I think the following equation is more applicable and more obvious...

LIFE - DREAMS = REALITY

And watching Tyra Banks and Oprah Winfrey's talk show from time to time, I guess this equation can apply to the people in USA as well, THE LAND OF DREAMS...

My senses for marketing and its tactics has become more acute ever since I am a marketing major (and a finance one too but I am less sensitive to it). Paying more attention to advertisements, T&C on DMs, how people run promotions etc. I guess the "toliet sympthoms" won't happen to me as often then...

This post is so random.

Sighz, time to get back to reality. Back to work =(

Good News

Good news for me....

I got an internship at Visa! Yeah! Second internship! Haha...

It's a marketing position again. I tried for finance positions but I was rejected in many of them already. Decided to apply for both finance and marketing internships to see whether I will get any interviews and wala! I got one!

Haha... despite being woken up at 8.45am this morning (it's my free day), I am surprisingly not grouchy.

And this is the video from Raymond Lam's 爱在记忆中找你... which is modeled a little from Lakehouse actually. But I have a little problem understanding the video at first... must watch a few times to get it.



Cheers.

Step Up 2 the Streets

Ooh.... I love dance movies!

I love the dance moves in this movie! Rugged dance is really cool.

Plus the girl Briana has a freaking hot body... hahaha

But I prefer Step Up 1 in a sense that there is a better plot in that movie. And the romance in that movie is much longer. This movie seems to be focusing a bit too much on dancing.

And I heard that Touchstone has agreed for Step Up 3! Woh Hoo!





I love the dance from 3.09 onwards... where the female lead really danced. And esp from 3.54 onwards when she was dancing with the male lead. Super Cool!

Wonder if I try hard enough I will get to that level of dance...

This movie makes me wanna go back to dancing again... not that I ever given it up totally. I still fool around and make up my own dance steps at home after putting some hip hop music when I am alone... but nothing professional of late.

Sighz. I was being practical when I chose to take dancing easy.

That day when I was watching this movie with jul, we saw a whole lot of parents holding their kids coming out from another theatre. I was kinda surprised until jul said, " Horton." LOL. Then I told her, the people coming out from that theatre are parents and kids, but the people coming out from our theatre are teenagers and young adults! Haha!

Cheerios. The world is full of irony.

I am extremely hopeless and boring

These days, it has always been school work and quizes. Life is like extremely boring lah. Actually. I am busier than usual because I have no exams this sem and so there are a lot of mini projects and quizes and big projects so it feels like I am takng 6 modules instead of 4... oh well, I shall end my agony during the reading week, which is good.

Today I went back home from school (from project meeting only since it's my free day =( ) with Aiwei and we were joking so much! Haha.. she actually thinks I am cute and wants me to be her little sister... Actually it's been very long since people called me "cute". Most of the time, people just said me as crazy (!!!). Haha. She said I am very fair and look like a Bai Zhan Ji (White Chicken) so I started calling her Hei Zhan Ji Jie Jie ( Sister Black Chicken) and I shortened it to become Hei Jie (Black Sister) by taking out the words in the middle... hahaha... She's now my hei jie from now on. We kinda haven't really confirm that name but I shall start calling her that name from now on... =)

And she has Tang Xin Feng Bao and Sui Yue Feng Yun's dvds to lend me!! Yeah! I dun have to rent or continously watch online le! I like Raymond Lam (Lin Feng) very much now so I am happy! First business after this sem is over, watch countless dvds! Sui Yue Feng Yun is like 60 episodes lah! And I haven't start on the Walk The Line dvd that my aunt brought for me last visit!

And now I am currently addicted to this show The Mischievous Princess (刁蛮公主)... it is currently showing on channel 8 weekends at 7pm to 9pm. Now I am on youtube everyday to watch the entire series le before the tv shows it... haha. And it's good! My current craze is not on taiwanese or china dramas so this addiction is kinda weird... oh well. Anyway, I can accept this kind of taiwanese drama. 古装,got emperor, got prince, got princess, got romance, got comedy and got touching scenes... It's my cup of tea. The addiction I have with this show is similar to my addiction with 还珠格格 and 偷龙转风... somemore I have the vcds of both series and take it out to watch once in a while... Haha.. And got Alec Su 苏有朋 acting as an emperor in that show! Like him since HZGG so yeah! That show is my cup of tea!



Uploaded an episode here. This is the episode whereby Alec Su found out that the female lead 小龙虾 is actually a female in the beginning of this video... She is always dressed as a male when meeting him. The expression of the female lead (Jang Nara who is actually a Korean) was really funny... I love this part the best!

Irene and I said the other time that Alec doesn't grow old at all... he still very handsome with a slight tinge of boy+man look in him... and when he looked 痴情, he can really break hearts...

Oh well, I am extremely hopeless and boring. I have so many shows lining up to watch man...

Cheerios.

Famous

I just realised that I have unknowingly become MAYBE famous among the marketing tutors and professors le..

Global mkting Prof sure knows me (and Irene for that matter, cos we have always been playing during class. Or falling asleep...)

Asian Market tutor sure knows me, since I think I was only on time once for her class (it's a 9am class for goodness sake!! ) and I am always walking into her class at about 9.20am to 9.30am??

Met Luke Lee yesterday, and he sure knows me already...

That day met Prof Yeung with Irene in the lift and she smiled at us, so she sure knows me.... maybe not the name but still... she knows my face.

Rah, lucky it's only 4 of them. If there are more, I dunno what to do... I just hope the IA prof dun remember me because I was nv early for his class also... =)

Talking about being early, I have to be motivated!! I can't be late all the time anymore! My time management has been so sucky this year to the point that I can't stand it! Must make a resolution...

1. Shall not sleep later than 2am from now on, and on mon shall sleep at 12am the latest cos tues is the 9am class!

2. Shall be no later than 15 mins for class. I have been late for about 20 mins for every class and I can't go on like that! It's hard to straight away ask me to be on time ok? So reduce the "lateness" of time so that I can slowly improve...

Rah, I bet Irene is laughing away right now.

And recently I am obsessed with Raymond Lam or Lin Feng... I love his singing!! Love his cantonese songs and I was even thinking of probably buying the album but I am broke so yeah... and I am slightly tempted to go to MAROON 5 concert also.. ha!

BTW, I watched Juno yesterday and it was good!! Highly recommended.

Cheerios. This post is really random again.
