been bloggin veri often nowadays.. maybe cos it's too boring stayin at home and starin at the books bah.. dun really have much motivation to study @home since for the last 2 sems i have been in sch studyin for exams and seein pple study naturally makes mi study more.. but well, lots of things happened, study kakis then are not really on tokkin terms now.. yeah, very bad.. so.. depending on myself now.. shall jus press on for another 5 more days and i will be out of singapore for good.. someone pls remind mi i got an exam on 14th!! =P

have also been thinkin abt sth tt have been buggin wt too, i guess.. though the decision is in my hands now.. and it seems quite confirm.. but theres jus too much of things that seem to be holdin mi back.. jus so much.. haizz.. and i got less than 1 week to make a wise (i hope) decision.. =(

oh yah.. on another note, to those who showed concerns, maybe i sounded quite depressed on my some earlier postings.. yep, im fine.. when the stress builds up and everything's not under your control, pple tend to get more frustrated.. but since every projects for this sem have come to a close now, not in tt bad mood already.. hehee.. so thanks for the concerns~ and yeah, i dint go drinkin.. hahaa.. haven been go pubbin for donkey months, and i dun really drinkk to solve problems.. cos tt will nv happen.. hehee.. so no worries~

okiess.high time to get back to my 'favourite' strategic mgmt.. lol.. night owl@ work

true.. but not very so..

Took a break from my day 2 of studyin.. (not veri productive though..) and attempted this quiz that i came across when browsing kx's blog..

Get To Know Yourself Better
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (true.. no wonder im the peacemaker when 2 headstrong persons clash in my gp..)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. (i guess so bah..)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person. (think its true.. but guessed this is not a good sign..)

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. (wahahaha...) The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. (lol) But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with? (r/s is not abt onli 1 person.. it involves 2 parties..)

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (tokin abt lifelong learning?? lol)

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs (oh manz, this is 100% true..) but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success. (yeah.. wait till i know wat i really wan..)

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying. (dunno.. maybe bah..)

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. (yeah.. natural disaster, accidents.. blah blah blah.. lol) Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

getting better..

jus feel like banging my head agst the wall right now.. FRUSTRATED!! cant be more frustrating.. stuck in the middle, and i see my 311 project falling apart.. and maybe down the drain.. another round of shooting over the msn.. from 2 parties through the same channel.. ME!!! wat the.. heck! better send mi to the Mackinaw city now manz.. cant stand it anymore.. dammit!

neither here nor there...

wat will happen when 2 persons with strong personality, each with their own opinion and idea, are grouped in the same team? a head-on collision will occur..

She told me she's having problems with him, cant get along with him..
He told me that he cant understand her, cant get wat we are trying to do..
So wat do I do? Stuck in the middle.. I played the peacemaker..
Communication problems, extreme personalities, different opinions, bounded by time..

I am tired..

Yes, I am glad that this aweful week is finally over, BH325 presentation, BH326 quiz (which there's a high possibility tt i will flunk it..), BM322 report & presentation (which i dun think i did a good presentation, was pretty nervous, but nevertheless, felt great by shootin the first group, the stupid guy in particular, with qns tt he dint ans well.. he really can turn me off manz.. the wae he speak, with that amt of arrogance.. and everytime i see tt face of him, let mi remember the wae he posed the qn in our case presentation.." Can I ask u all a dumb qn?" - when the qn is not dumb in the first place, jus tryin to bring us down.. idiot..marketing, so wat?!? wipe that smirke off ya ugly face!!).. okokiess.. relac relac.. haha

having said all that, i felt really drained.. cant take it anymore.. with so many deadlines coming at the same time, and the exams looming near.. jus felt my energy battery has hit zero.. 311 presntation n report due on mon, 326 final report on wed, and 325 final draft on fri.. sheeshh.. CMI liao.. felt like a deflated balloon.. how can i tahan till 4th of Nov? HOW???? sigh..

I am really tired, i need a break..

nwae, gg for the Work & travel USA recruitment drive tml.. actually still in the stage of considering.. but shall see lah.. for those who have no idea wats that.. it's actually gg USA to work for at least 2 months, max 4 months with 30 days for u to travel after ya work period.. this will take place after u grad, and can choose ya own employers (mainly theme parks)..
i think this is fun, can travel ard on off daes also, and u can earn a pay tt's double of wat u earn here, and their recruitment criteria is not very stringent.. for those who's interested.. do check this website out.. http://www.gasi.com.sg/ click on speedwing.. and if interested, register, and go for the roadshow tml.. sat, to be exact.. =)

not good enough?

shd be typing out my part for the sales mgmt report now.. but no mood, so ended up bloggin here..

finished a major presentation today.. should feel relieved and happy, since its over now, but i do feel abit of disappointment.. disappointed wif myself, to be exact..
yes, i would sae that some of the pple are pretty impressed with our presentation, with the intro slide, and prof did give good comments.. but i really think i shd have done better.. maybe cos im a near perfectionist, maybe i have high expectations of myself esp when im doing the slides.. maybe..

spent 3 long nights on the powerpoint slides.. consolidating and stuff like tt.. and spent 2hrs each on 2 consecutive daes trying to come out with the idea, incorporating the music, pictures, and chels' speech on that single slide so tt pics appear at the right timing with the speech and music.. and another 2 hours or so on the video clips.. having spent so much effort, i expected it to turn out.. perfect.. (though i noe there's nothing perfect in the world..) but maybe near perfect? but y dint i anticipate that technical glitches do happen?? y do the sound come out too soft on the system it self? y dint i anticipate tt and do the changes? the presentation wld have been more impactful if i have been more careful.. yesh, wat's more do i expect when the presentation turned out so good already? i guess i wan it to be better, to be perfect.. since its something that cld have prevented from happening..

haizz. a lesson to be learnt.. shall jus take tt and move on.. up next, sales mgmt slides and bmw slides for 311..

after presentation.. all lookin relieved.. =)

chels, elin, sini, mi.. (xin ku le.. )

time is nv enuff..

had a horrible week.. its got real frustrated when everything seems to get cock up at the same time.. its bad to start the week wif a not-tt-functioning-too-well hp.. and to add on to tt, my computer seems to be suffering from a serious problem.. keeps restartin by itself.. though this problem has occured b4, its gettin even more serious nowadays.. to the extent of me spendin close to 45 mins startin my com, drivin mi to my tears.. of frustration, to be exact..

had been spending whole lots of time in sch this week.. doin the 325 project cos of the fact tt the first draft of the report was due today.. was in sch till 930pm on tues, was in sch till 10pm plus on thurs.. and was in sch till 930pm plus today again.. veri obvious that the project is drivin most of the hr students crazy.. knowin tt jon and kk's group was stayin in sch till 130am plus on thurs loh.. where's the work life balance?!? now's a walkin zombie cos of the lack of sleep.. so do pardon mi if there's any incoherence in this post.. =P

but this hectic life has yet to come to an end.. gotta struggle thru 1-2 weeks more.. anticipatin tt I will be consolidatin most of the ppt slides next week, 325.. 322.. 311.. and of course, got a quiz on thurs.. =( think this is the worse sem i ever got manz.. super jialut.. hiazz. guessed the onli thing tt pushes mi, motivates mi is the plan right after the 311 exam.. yeah, i will jiayou one.. =)

though this week was bad, there's still sth tt makes mi happy.. haha.. went for an interview at conrad.. felt quite fortunate tt they attend to my cold CV.. but dint get the job cos they arent really keen on hiring anyone for the hols.. since they dun even intend to pay.. but there again, got myself a temp job.. workin as personal asst for my excollegue who's the finance mgr in a co.. not veri high pay.. but well, still can earn some money.. enuff for mi to spend next sem bah.. haha.. but do felt really sorry for ray, zc and co. cos dun think mi gg for the retreat.. and felt super duper sorry for venus gers.. not tt i wanna pang seh u all.. but.. my work onli end at 6! =( haizz. i cant have the best of both worlds bah..

good service??

i was quite turned off by the level of service provided by nokia after my trip down to nokia care centre @ wheelock place today.. not cos' of the person who served mi today, BUT by the helpline person..

i faced a rather frustrated problem with my phone recently.. (thurs onwards, to be exact..) cant receive any sms, but able to send out sms and make/receive calls.. i called my service provider, they sae its not their problem.. its the phone problem.. okies, i accept tt.. but its only a 4 months old phone!! AND its nokia! AND i dint even drop the phone once!! hard to believe tt its spoilt.. but, yeah.. tt's the reality.. so i called the nokia service helpline.. they asked mi to try take out the sim card and put it in another phone, and try to see if its work.. and i asked, 'wat if i do tt, and i can receive sms?Is it sth to do with message setting' then they replied mi that in tt case, i have to go down to their care centre, period.. okies, fair enuff~

so i did jus tt, take out the sim, and put it in my mom's phone.. and tada! i cld receive sms!!! SO.. the prob is wif my 4mth old 7270! okies.. so i went down SPECIALLY to nokia care today.. hopin to get my phone repaired.. walked into the centre, served by a guy called JO.. he played with my phone.. sendin sms to my own phone.. and after a while, told mi that its a SW problem! and sae needa reinstall the SW, and i wil lose my data.. ALL my data, to be exact.. except for my contacts.. tt's got mi so pissed.. its not him who got mi so pissed, but rather the oneS who attended to mi over the helpline yesterdae!! y dint they sae its a SW prob?? and sae tt by reintallin it, all data will be lost?? i clearly see that i trip down today was a waste! wat was being said by JO cld be clearly done by those pple over the phone! i DID tell them tt i cant receive any sms, even if i send it to my own phone.. AND that wats JO did on my phone today.. y cant the pple jus tell mi?? obviously, they lack the technical knowledge to serve customer.. and wat the helpline does, is jus get pple down to their care centre! and i dun really see the need for the helpline to exist in this case then, cos the locations of the care centres are all there in the warranty card and also on the internet webpage.. might as well scrape the whole line as it does NOT even help!

i dint have my phone repaired cos there's some photos and sms tt i dun wish to lose.. so im now lookin for a data cable to transfer the data over.. but tt's not the main point.. the point being the level of service tt those pple provides really sux!! i guess training is a way to increase their standards.. dun plant any tom dick and harry over at the end of the line, without any technical knowledge to serve pple.. it will only turn pple off.. and not to mention, dun let customers wait.. they took 2 mins plus, puttin mi on some music while tryin to see wat solution they can provide, and onli to inform mi tt i needa go down to the centre.. not veri helpful!!

i guess the level of service stds provided in Singapore is really questionable.. and i do agree wif PM Lee tt we still have a long way to go b4 reachin world class svs stds..

yeahh~

felt so relieved!! cos i finally pulled through this week.. yeah.. i did it~ =) but i do really wanna apologise to those who have to endure my kind of bad temper this week.. so sorry abt it.. its very unlike mi, but guessed wif the level of stress, frustration, lack of sleep, and veri lousy health.. tt's pretty the reasons behind it.. a thousands apologies...

and yah.. finished a major presentation today.. 326 interim presentation.. and i think our team did a pretty impressive presentation.. good job AdL!fe.. Cheers~ =)

and after tt, went for 325 project discussion, and was kena dragged by sini and elin to go to cck for dinner.. first time driving there.. but yeah, did have a great time.. sakai sushi.. and we did enjoy yourselves..

hmmm.. tt's pretty much of wat i have to say.. gonna type out the interview wif ntuc and wda.. forever so bz.. and still wondering if wanna go sch for ge tml.. hmmmm...

AdL!fe~ =)

venus gers~

reflection from the mirror @ sakai sushi..

teriyaki chicken? cant remember the name of the dish..

Jialat..

dun really have the mood to blog nowadays, cos was too bz wif all the projects and stuff.. esp this week, its really suffocating me! jus finished 2 sets of powerpoint slides.. one for the bonny doon vineyard case (which i did ALL by myself.. thanks to all the free riders..) and the other one is my part of the slides for thurs presentation..

not to forget, i was hit by the stupid flu bug on fri.. maybe i spent too little time resting and oso due to the very weird meal timings i have nowadays (but bo bian..) i think this flu was the worse i ever had these few years.. sorethroat, cough, runny nose, slight fever.. really bad.. =( and yet i cant sleep early.. cos i had to finish the slides.. haizz..

but well, guess its abit better now, recovered a little bit.. and things seemed to look better now.. though this week is packed with stuff, bonny doon presentation tomorrow (today, i mean), interview wif ntuc SDD dir on tues, and hopefully wda oso, meeting and recruitment tok on wed, major presentation for 326 on thurs.. and major presentation for 325 next tues.. a can-die schedule.. when 325 is such a killer.. but well, things will get better yah? being optimistic here.. so, Adlife.. we muz jiayou kay! do a good job on thurs.. and chels, sini and elin.. hit it! jus deliver wat we can.. a brochure.. most prob! hahahaha...
