ARGH! I am so irritated! So, Kris Allen won after all. America, WHAT HAPPENED?! But I wouldn't say I'm all that shocked or surprised, in competitions where votes decide who wins or who gets booted, you're bound to have such unfair results. That's alright, we all know how successful Adam will be anyway. I am buying his first album, and obviously boycotting Allen's. Haha!! You know whats so sad! I woke up at 8am contemplating on whether or not to walk over to my aunt's place (which is a few block away) to catch American Idol, before deciding (with a heavy heart to just doze back to sleep) and catch teh later episode. And now, I just realised Channel 5 aired it at 8am as well!?! How sad is that! Ok, nvm, it doesnt matter, I'm gg to catch either the 6pm one on star world or the 10pm one on channel 5.

Here's a picture of my Idol.. :)




Anyway, I got an Internship at PSA! :D I'll be starting tomorrow, and end on the 7th of August. But here's the catch, its an Accounting internship! Initially I was told it was a Finance internship, so I was mentally preparing myself, trying hard to remember all the finance terms we went thru during FNA2004 but now I realise its an acctg one. But they seem ready to train me, so I'm open to the idea myself. :) Its ok to learn anyway. Working hours are 830am-630pm from mondays to thursdays and 830am-530pm on Fridays. I am excited, and the most important thing is to go with an open mind and learn as much as I can.
Ok, gtg now, will update soon!

nobody said it will be this hard. Haiz, sometimes its pointless to talk about how u knw time will heal everything, cos that doesnt remove the pain u feel at this point, this instant, this very beat. it still sucks, cos its a pathetic way of taking ur mind off the pain when in reality, you're still miles away from that point. But I wanna share ur happiness. Sometimes I think its karma, how life jst turned to give me back all Idid intentionally or not. But then I am reminded, at least I had the guts to be honest. I had the guts, and that makes me feel better, and that makes me hate u a bit. I don't even know if she knows what the hell ur doing. Its unfair to her. all a masquerade, everything. no matter what kinda shit ur in, u dun have the right to do this-not to me, not to anyone.

its the little things that matter, that you remember

so today I had the most mentally-exhausting and over-worked 5.5 hour project meeting ever. T'was for my Consumer Behaviour module, for which my grp will have to present this Friday. Excited and yet a tad scary, cos marketing classes are always oh-so competitive! Like there's this extra need to stand out, to be the most creative team, with the cleverest questions and the coolest and chic-est(is there such a word) presentation! But, I do enjoy them all lah, nvm the fact I always seem to under-perform! :/ le-sigh. Yday, I visited my aunt from melbourne who's in sg again till this thursday and I managed to catch up with her cutesy three little kids. My favourite one now has GOT to be the youngest one, this 1 yr old Isha! She is gorgeous and as smiley as a baby/toddler you can get! She was laughing and smiling at everyone and everything. And if she likes you, she'll crawl over to you and put her cheek on your lap, so ultra adorable! :D We were feeding her a bit of keropok and then she started doing her flying kick thing, haha and I kept her amused for quite some time with the peek-a-boo trick. I swear i works with every baby! Gosh, I really hope to see her soon before she leaves (if i can sneak in some time in between all that work, that is!)

On another random note, grandma has cooked this whole pot of dhal in a matter of minutes! She's amazing la, I can never go hungry with her around. Ok, see now, I gtg prepare my slides for my feminism presentation tmr! feel like pasting my whole report here. Probably will tmr. :)


Okie, anyway this is a note to myself and to anyone else who reads this. Never depend on anybody. Least of all a person who seems to doubt you and to whom, u sometimes don't matter. Remember the important ppl who love you, who have never had doubts, or who never had to choose when it comes to you. Safeguard urself emotionally, cos ultimately, we're all alone at the end of the day.

Life plans!

it should be obvious by now that I am utterly distracted, but I just had this urgent urge to blog about my life plans here. Of course, blogging about them here will not guarantee that these will all go according to plan, but at the very least, I know I have somewhere I would like to head to. So first things first, I intend to graduate by next year July with a Second Uppen Honours atleast, Inshaallah.
After July 2010: I hope to spend about 1-3 months to travel for a bit, hoping to go to Germany and maybe do a Europe tour if my time (and monetary) budgets permit.
So that will be somewhere in August-October 2010: Hopefully I would have landed a job by then, ideal job will of course be a Consultant job in some cool consultancy firm like BCG or McKinsey. But because life has taught me to be realistic, I'm hoping for atleast some Marketing or HR managerial post in the exciting FMCG industry.
2014-2015: Goodness golly, I will be a heartwrenching 28 by now! I hope that I would have gained enough experience to start my own business venture, perhaps somehting small like a Cafe. And IF i still haven't settled down by this time (meaning family-wise: i.e. getting married n having kids), I'll be re-applying to the consultancy firms AGAIN.
2019: I really ought to get married by now! (I'll be 32!)
2020: And have at least 1 kid by now! (I'll be 33!)
2021: I'm hoping that my business venture (whatever it turns out to be), will be successful by now, meaning I would have atleast be making substantial profits, and starting to open newer outlets. Perhaps one in JB.

Okay, I think I'll stop here. Thats 12 years worth of plans Not too sure if these are rather ambitious/ far-fetched/impractical, but three things that I'm atleast certain about are:
1. I really would like to try a consultancy job!
2. And start my very own business venture someday! Hopefully with my trusted uni friends like Has & Hui Ling!
3. AND yes, I really do wanna get married, but not to just anyone, to Mr. RIGHT! Damn, where is HE?!

Haha, okay, totally random, but putting ur thoughts and life plans on paper really does help in a lot of ways. It sets you thinking abot what you really want in life, so that at the end of the day, you have some kind of ideal you're working towards. Things like that are important if you ask me, cos its easy to lose yourself in the rat race we're all in. Ok, I'm done, lets go get 'em! :D



7:04 PM


I feel so blah. my favourite person is fast becoming my least favoured person. And that shall be a topic for another day. I miss my friends, I really do! Specifically susu, mairah, juju, nadz, Hani, adibah, adilah, huda and everyone else. I wish I was those kind who could just whip out my phone n give them a call. But I'm not, I'm the 'lets-meet-and-chat-kind. Haha, random entry, and I need to start typing out my CB report. Anyhow, just as a side note, I'm doing this essay on this really cool topic for my Arts Gem- Economic Issues of the Developing World, and it concerns the mistreatment of Women. Do you personally think that women are more mistreated in the developing world than in the developed world? I think there's no clear straight answer, cos although all forms of 'physical' mistreatment (i.e. abuse, rape, slavery, prostitution, etc) are more apparent in the developing world, I think females in the developed part of the world still face discrimination in many aspects- job opportunities, sports, politics, etc. But of course, things are improving, we have our very own first Singaporean Female Minister, thats for one! =D Makes me proud, and I'm very sure she's very capable. Met her before, and she exudes a calm aura around her, and she's really down to earth, I must add.

Well, I'm doing more research on this paper, and I'll let u knw my conclusion. :)

sleepless insights
Haven't had sleep in 26 hours now, cos I was rushing my CB individual report the whole of last night-morning. Really tired, but I hope it'll be worth it! CAM Quiz 2 tmr from 10-12noon. Who would have though, today marked the last 'formal' seminar style class for CAM, wk after next will mark teh start of the presentations. Boy will I miss Prof Cheng, she was a vivacious character, full of laughter. Anyhow, was discussing with my adorable CP mates just now about our E50 project, and sometimes I think we girls can get a bit too meticulous and long-winded. Meetings drag on for atleast an hour or so, when things could have been more efficiently handled. But I love my team nonetheless, today we brainstormed decided on what we had to do next. We've got a plan, we're politically correct and still productive and insightful. And if what Dung says is correct, I suspect we're one of the most efficient CP teams under Prof. Hum! But yes yes, no room for complacency now. Gotta keep marching! This is my first entry of what would be a series of random CP updates, cos apparently we're supposed to keep a log book of our emotions, ideas, etc etc along the 2 sems that we work with each other. Anyway, I'm truly glad I've got this team, seriously! =)

head vs. heart
I have Apollo biscuits and Cowhead peanut butter biscuits that Hui Ling 'cop-ed' for me from in front of the MBA room where they have free snacks n coffe/tea for their students, so cool for wad! We undergrads also pay fees wad, give us free snacks too lah. Haha..Anyway, I'm seated right outside Conference room C in NUS (if u knw where that is). No one else is here (its 8:18pm yo), my project grp mates left a long time ago, and I can only hear the distant chattering of the MBA grads in the closed room next to me. I actually feel much happier, cos I'm speaking to Kai once again. Hani, looks like this is NOT the real 'break up point' then. hahaha. But I'm glad, if u had a choice, wud u rather choose the painful path or the one that makes u happy? When I put it that way, of cos the latter wins hands down right? And thats all it means to me right now, just that, a simple choice between being happy n not, nevermind about the future, nevermind about the past, its now. And yup, needless to say, my heart won in this round of the head vs. heart battle. And I'm glad. =)
