Hi guys! I just drank a cup of Bru Coffee and I'm gg to be an unusual high soon enough, especially since this cup was extra strong. =D Life has been great, Alhamdulillah. Had my first Quiz for Consumer Behaviour yesterday, and as usual work's piling up! Thats what recess week is all about anyway! I'll be having my MS mid terms the week after next so I'll have to start preparing for that. Really grateful that my MS tutor is this wonderful guy who's superbly helpful and friendly AND he speaks perfect English. Just the other day, Hani and I were discussing how so many of our uni mates couldn't hold a conversation/presentation, or write a report without making unacceptable grammatical errors along the way. The kind that make us cringe. Having done 3 years in Uni thus far, I'd have to concede to that fact. Its appaling really, how so many amongst us cannot write or speak decently. I know that implicit in this observation is the supposed claim that my English is better. Not trying to distinguish myself in anyway, I'm guilty of the few grammatical errors now and then too, but I would atleast catch myself right after that, just because it really sounds awful.

Oh another random observation. In the past, when you see someone muttering ro talking to himself, we'd clearly suspect he's suffering from some mental illness. These days though, you can never be too sure. You gotta watch out for the bluetooth earpiece, in built ear canal earpiece and such BEFORE jumping to that conclusion. Its hilarious how technology has progressed to the extent that it redefines our thoughts, thinking process and perceptions. Just the other day, my family were at Sheng Siong. My grandma and I being the two who had injured feet, stayed in the car. Then, this guy driving this huge lorry parked next to us. He came out and was chattering out loud. Wanting to give his sanity the benefit of the doubt, I naturally peered to the left side of the lorry to look at who he was talking to. After a while, it became apparent that there was no one else in the lorry with him. My grandma was unusually silent at that point. Knowing her, I clarified, "Grandma, please don't think he's mad, he has this bluetooth piece attached to his left ear." She was greatly relieved, and went "OHHHHH... I really thought he was crazy!" HAHAHA, she's so adorable!

Okay, back to work now. Take good care kids! OH YES! I got into the YWLC mentorship program I was talking about. Alhamdulillah, its such an honour to be part of this noble network that's filled with 29 other brilliant young ladies. Looking forward to meaningful friendships, contributions and bonds, Inshaallah! Women power! ;)
