April Alone

time to blog again before May arrives...

nth much to say... just sian of studying... i unblocked nmf le... i kinda agree with what he said... but because of this... i got nobody to trash to le... maybe that's why i'm ranting on my almost non-existent blog again... then again, i'm glad he actually realised that i was not arn... rar... am i that childish?

it's the time of the year again... when it's sweltering hot... and yet we all have to study for our exams in this heat... i scoured the entire biz today just to find a nice air-conditioned spot with big table and power socket... thankfully there was a vacant table/seat at crc... would have melted in my room otherwise...

i'm becoming a loner again... kinda feeling lost.... but at the same time, i kinda like being a loner... just do what i like... simply not in the mood for any social interaction... i think this sem is the sem that i ate lunch alone in the canteen the most number of times le (okay not more than thrice... but still.. haha i seldom used to do that)... but i'm getting more comfy by myself... i feel like... if u put me alone on an island, i can survive longer than expected... haha

where are u when i need someone to talk to?

... hmm... ok time to pick myself up again... how come i always have to do this... maybe that's life... just keep walking... if u fall down... learn to get up yourself... if u're tired... take a break... and continue walking later... i guess now, i'm just taking a break... shall continue walking soon...

wheee!

March Madness Mania

It's my monthly update again... so random... well it was someone's msn nick that instigated me to blog again...

oh well... March has been a pretty bz month so far (yes only 12 days have passed)... but the coming weeks will be worse than ever... ok i shan't list... that schedule with milestones is staring angrily at my face now (on my pin up board)...

what makes it all busier is that I'm also going for several interviews!! oh well, that.. of course... i'm NOT complaining! hahahaha... things has been going ok so far... although still jobless... but i'm confident i'll end up at a place I can shine... yah that sums up my career search...

but what's making me just as happy, if not happier... is that my grad trip plans are more or less settled!!! the grp i'm gg with is kinda big... 6 of us altogether.. but i'm sure we'll have some whacky fun... i'm sooooooooooo looking forward to it... the airfares and accomm have been booked... means no turning back now!!! ok i should just stop talking abt it... i get so excited everytime i bring it up.... sheeesh...

oh wait... i need to mention this... i'm learning golf right now!! as in not now now... but yes now... every saturday... life's really good... going as planned... learning new things... having new fun... meeting new people... and golf is fun (so far) although i've nv left the driving range b4... lol... it's hard to imagine how one person can enjoy just standing at the driving range and hitting some 50 to 100 balls... but oh well... it's the company i guess... then we gossip together... learn from each other... laugh at each other (and at ourselves)... and have fun... yeah...

ah.. one more big thing that happened... ok not so big... just as big as the size of my wisdom tooth.... which has recently been extracted... ouchie... but i'm such a brave girl... so proud of myself... but costed me a hefty 550... still, i think it's the best price already... (i did ask arn other clinics)... and the svc was good!!! the nurses and dentist were professional and yet very friendly and patient... my only concern now is.... do I still have anymore wisdom left? (haha, what a concern... )

i must must must really agree that this year is indeed a year of change for me... and i'm still happy with the change so far... we'll see how things go... wheeeeee!

bday mania~

okay time to blog again... (tv advert now)... haha

this year... my bday has been pretty eventful... makes me feel like i'm 16 or 21 again... lol

2 days before my bday, zh/sheryl/vince brought me to equinox and treated me to dinner there... haha i ordered gnocchi (ate it last in italy), but it did taste a little different from my recollection. well, maybe this is called fine dining... haha.. the view from the top... wah... splendid i must say... so touched that they brought me there... what's even funnier is that they even blindfolded me at raffles city and brought me to the restaurant... apparently it wasn't difficult to guess where we were heading when we simply walked around one curve side of swissotel before entering... felt so much like a 21st bday la... haha... but really appreciated their efforts... and our dear vince actually slot the lovely bday card in my menu... hahaha... my gdness...

then 1 day before my bday... i did sth terrible... i made normy watch sweeney todd with me when he wanted to watch 27 dresses... hahaha... it was only much later that i heard fr SA that 27 dresses is quite a nice show... and yes, ppl did walk out of the cinema during sweeney todd... kinda gruesome... and songs were so-so... very repetitive... and ending was quite expected too... among the musicals-movies, i think i like moulin rouge the best so far... oh wait... unless u count Sound of Music too... i like that~ oh yah anyway for dinner we ate at the jap restaurant at bugis... dno what izagaku thing... can't rmb the name... not worth remembering... salmon tasted edible but nothing spectac... service was not v gd either... the waitress kept making mistakes... blah but ok i shan't complain...

and on my bday itself... woke up late... had lunch with clekang and sa at rolling wok... first time there even though its so near kr... the food was not bad... they even bought a slice of cake for me... haha so touched... and dinnertime was the most upset... couldn't find anyone to dine with... so i tabao-ed from the dining hall and ate in my rm... then at about 10pm... rizal called me and told me there were problems with my hall rm, that i have to move out because it was allocated to an exchange student... idiot... i suspected sth behind his story... but i followed him to the jcrc room to fill up some manual hall application form... then there he tried searching for the form to no avail and called another jcrc member who then told him its in his shoe cabinet... haha so we walked back and he told me he'll pass the form to me and asked me to go back to my rm first... back in my rm... my suspicions still hung high so i decided to open my wardrobe to check if anything is amiss... only to find dear faith hiding inside... haha and chwanz was behind my door... and tat suddenly grabbed my leg from beneath my bed... and poor mj was still hiding there when i decided to check under my bed for anything more amiss... haha then they took out the cake... and i wasn't paying attention when pengz, ah xian and lionel jumped out from behind my window blinds and gave me a scare... actually i was really really shocked because i didn't know anyone could hide behind the flat window blinds... hahaha didn't think they were that slim... LOL...

but it was really sweet of them... and rizal definitely earns his oscar award for splendid acting and script... and for the rest who hid in my room... i'm so touched they remembered my bday (not that it's worth celebrating anyway)... and the efforts they put in to 'scare' me... a very pleasant surprise indeed... so decided to treat them to supper... but all so shy... only order drinks mainly... haha... but it's really v nice a feeling... the warmth of a family block yah... (even when i'm so phantom)... haha...

yeah and that was my eventful bday... not forgetting a post-bday get together with bain (for her post-bday too) and kel at white tangerine... a pity jh couldn't turn up... oh well... we're planning for a sleepover... hope it materializes!!

and back to my report-writing... blah...

2008 already?

Woah... i realised i'm updating my blog once a month... hahahaha... quite frequent ah...

in a blink of an eye... it's 2008!!! and so far it's been a pretty good start...

to begin the year, i spent the afternoon playing paintball with my cousins gang... a total of 8 of us... it's a v nice get together... especially when most of us are working, some still studying (even overseas)... and it was fun... and exciting... loadsa laughters... great way to start a year (minus the bruises on my legs)...

day 2 of the new year was not too bad as well... did an assessment at maersk... then met up with kangwei, john, ian and bengchun for dinner... talked abt everything... from kw's many gossips, to all the europe experiences we had...

day 3... yah right as if i can remember every day of the new year... siao... don't rmb what i did on day 3 onwards la...

oh, one good news is that i got into KR for my final sem... C blk i heard... where i began my university days, and where i shall put an end to it too... went for 2 tabletennis trainings... good fun... it's a sport i'll never be tired of...

another good news, after the whole drowning ordeal, my thinkpad is finally alive again!!!.... i didn't quite think it could still be revived (at no cost!!)... well... it's a new year... so i shall let it have a new start (with a rather empty hard disk)...

ah... i had a nice dream yday... lol... i dreamt that i was rejected for the mise program but was offered a trader's job instead... hahaha... for a start, i had to follow the other experienced traders around... observe how they conduct their trades... n on top of this, i get a remuneration of 4k/mth!! now i know why i woke up at 11am instead of my usual 9am... my dream was too good to be awaken from... lol...

what more to expect this coming year? i don't know... except for the fact that i'm suppose fan4 tai4 sui4 (not that i'm 24 this year, just that i happened to grab onto the rat's tail in january)... on the superstitious side, this means i'll face major changes this year... like what? *think*... finally graduate and start working? DUH... i don't doubt that... how about... get a bf? hahaha... i reckon it's sth i shouldn't think about le... no pt... hmm... what abt getting a second upper? is that considered a major change? hahaha... seems like i'm very optimistic about the 'major changes'.... lol... oh wait, one more... grad trip!!! is that a major change? should be bah... hahaha... i'm soooo looking forward to go taiwan and japan... any takers?? (bain, jh, kel, hint hint hint!)... other major changes??? STX shooting sky high??? ah i rmb one more... passing my jlpt!! what else?? major change major change...

i like changes... of course for the better... but in any case, it makes life more interesting... a life in mono (nice song tho) is boring... nth to look forward to... well, let me have something to look forward to this year!!! tai4 sui4 ye2, bless me! hahaha...

ok enough ranting... where is my datedate... wait till u're back and i'll start pouring my gibberish on u... don't forget my present...

A fading memory is all that is left...

i'm so upset...

extremely upset.... ever since my HDD crashed... i realised many things were lost together with it.... all my database passwords... and all of my photos...... OMG.... my photos....

now they are all but memory in my head... although people say that remembering is more important than just some meaningless photos... but who can deny that a human's memory tend to fail easily? i admit mine's like that... i'm so upset... especially for SEP photos... my once-in-a-lifetime experience captured in those coloured pictures... are all but gone... trying to recover some of them from all sorts of sources... but it's no longer the same.... my HDD is gone and gone forever... the tick tock tick tock sound of it when i plug it into the laptop.... the last struggle and the final sound of silent death.... is all so upsetting for me...

so much information is lost... so much blood is shed... so much so much...

and i only have myself to blame...

which makes me even more upset... it's my fault... and only my fault alone...

why... why must such a sad thing happen...

WHY OH WHY... save my hdd pls pls pls... anyone pls!!! help me recover my HDD!!! and all the info inside it!!!

Buona Sera Blog

If people start writing their diaries with "Dear Diary".... What should I say to my blog then? "Dear Blog"?? but that doesn't sound as nice as the former cos the first alphabets ain't the same... ok... so here goes...

Buona Sera Blog... oh gdness... sounds funny too.. haha i can't think of anything else now... ok maybe i'll end with "Byebye Blog".. that's better...

ah well... i'm back at writing again... my second last semester is finally over... and i'm glad it is... i'm officially on holiday now... but seems like i have quite a lot of things to do... like my cp for eg. and studying for jlpt... geez... i'm so gonna fail it...

yes i'm just ranting in the middle of the night... maybe i shall just recap what happened this semester...

In comparison to my last semester, this was definitely less taxing... I must admit I was a living zombie back then... even had some minor depression... nonetheless, this semester ain't that smooth sailing either... some ups and downs no doubt... part and parcel of life ain't it? hmm, this semester was the start of my job search... nothing fruitful... which is kinda demoralizing... what's my worth?? I think only I know better... but what exactly is my passion?? i can't seem to find an answer... I have many interests no doubt... but which of it is really my passion... something that can keep me burning for the rest of my life? Maybe that's why my job search ain't that fruitful either... i despise myself for not knowing exactly where my passion lies... not knowing means unable to strive towards it... if last sem was a living zombie, this sem, i'm a clueless zombie...

besides my job search... studies are so-so... flunked a couple of tests... did not too bad for a couple of them... i'll just have to accept my grades when it comes... i got a bad hunch i'd be disappointed... but i don't know why.... and i even more so have no idea since when i've been this concerned with grades... maybe it's a side effect from my futile job search... or maybe my self-confidence is seeping through my fingers...

and i found out something... whilst i have many friends in school... i really don't know who to call upon when i need help... for eg, when my cp group wanted to conduct an experiment and needed people to come by for 20 mins to help out... i didn't know who to get... and the eventual turn out was good... but none of them were there because of me... sometimes i just feel so helpless... did i keep the walls around me too high and unsurmountable?

life this semester... can be easily summarized... 99.9% of my time was spent on projects, lectures, job search and home... 90% of the people I meet day in day out are my family and project mates... i haven't even had a chance to lunch with hc... haha... i didn't forget abt it nor purposely reject it... worse still, i missed a dinner with lingxin-san (ok that's cos i wasn't feeling well)... and hadn't had a single tennis session with able abel... haha he must be damn disappointed cos i guess i forgotten everything he taught me previously.

ah well... in any case, the semester is over... i've gotta pick myself up and continue my journey... although there's nothing much to look forward to in this vacation (besides the shanghai trip w my family), i'll just keep myself hopeful and await for adventures to unfold... ladeeda...

1.5 weeks to go... hang on...

geez, i'm shock ppl actually still read my blog... i don't even update that often anymore... just use it as a bitch box... *lol*... and no, i haven't replaced datedate yet... he's still the best bitchbox... haha... except since he's not in singapore for me to bitch to now... so i'm resorting to talking blankly to my blog again...

oh well... i'm not sure if i'm the impatient one or sensitive one this time... but my unhappiness towards someone is accumulating... before i can even "forgive-and-forget"... something infuriating must happen again. *rawr*... and perhaps this friend doesn't even realise... why some close friends are leaving... I'm not the first to go... and I'm feeling compelled to "entertain" this friend any longer... why should I continue to be in this fix? I really don't need this friend that constantly upsets me... i think staying at a distance would be better for all of us...

but my day just brightened up too... 'cos lingxin-san msn me... great to know he's doing well... miss him much... actually, i do miss a lot of people... like, i hope to see bainie right away... except it's past midnight now... *lol*... everyone's moving on in life... i should move on too...

yes... and in 1.5 week's time... i'd be done for the semester... but of cos, this 1.5 week is gonna be torturous... well, still no news from any employers... am i destined to be jobless? ... certainly not... even if that's gonna happen... i shall hire myself... haha...

and before i sign off....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BELOVED PAPA!!!! i shall not announce your age here... i know it's a sensitive topic... hahahahahaha...

It's all in the mind

I must keep telling myself that "it's all in the mind"... My mental state is too weak... ahhh... my pride my ego has long been shattered... my confidence has long been lost...

haven't been blogging in months yah... only when i'm forced to a corner again... nobody to speak to... nobody to console me... nobody to seek help from... then i start blah-ing on a lifeless blog... well, at least whatever i've said, my blog cannot choose to ignore... erm, and it better not hang when i click submit later... otherwise i really will faint...

okay continuing... haiz... haiz haiz haiz... i flunk my mkt rsch test yday. i can't believe it. thought it won't be that difficult... but yes i admit i wasn't well-prepared... in addition, my mind just went blank also... i forgot everything i revised... just sat and stare at the paper oh-so-blankly...

and with regards to job application... well... nothing's positive... and i feel like a sick patient... illness = weak mental state... if i'm the employer... i wouldn't employ myself either...

what to do... trough again... i need some self-therapy again... i'll see how well i can do it this time... persevere hongyi... n u will emerge a winner again...

it's all in the mind... really...

AI NI!!!!

Today is KTV Day 2!!!

They are all just so funny ppl with super funny jokes... like... virgin airlines? haha... and three steps of a salesperson: Convince, Confuse (if the former fails), and lastly Con (if all else fails)... LOL... and howie explained how salesppl are innocent and 'stupid' ppl that do not con, they just tell customers what the techie ppl tell them... like tvt... HAHA...

After dinner, ryan left but the rest of us happily went to sing KTV again (the last time only serene, lyd, fj and i).... Ohh, and Fang-gege joined us halfway too... hahaha... It was quite hilarious la... the songs we sang... got hokkien songs sung by dearest howie and ronnie... haha... and our special S.H.E performance as well as Cyndi's Ai Ni dance... *LOL*... and ronnie sang so many jacky songs... hui-e also sang her angmoh songs... haha... well... everybody just had fun!!! wheee!!!

Animals @ Nite

YAYYYY.... I've finally made my debut visit to the Singapore Night Safari... i mean.. FINALLY... never been there once since it opened eons ago.... Had wanted to go there since some time ago, a colleague at GE told me what a wonderful time she had there with her family/frens... And many thanks to qiang who told me he had free tix.

Well, it was indeed a very relaxing saturday.... oh yes, i lurve saturdays... Played tennis with abel again in the morning, except daniel wasn't around. Felt quite good... the feeling of being able to return more balls (compared to my maiden attempt last week... haha)... really many thanks to abel too... he must have been very patient to coach me... at no cost! He really didn't have to, but i'm really very thankful... and even the weather was on our side... it started pouring heavily once we were done w tennis... Actually, now that i mention tennis, i'm kinda missing playing tabletennis... Really like the sport... like the idea of being aggressive and defensive... like the idea of strategizing your every move... like the idea of smashing the ball onto your opponents side and scoring that point.... ahh....lovely...

oh, and i was really quite tired after the game... partly cos i returned home late on friday... went mezzanine at the grand hyatt with my bosses/colleagues... sorta the last day in office (though i'm pretty sure i'd be back, at least to return my notebook)... Had a great time too at KBOX w serene, fj and lydia... we were just singing mad... haha... but it was hilarious and fun... so yah... reached home only at 3am and 10am was the tennis training...

okay, i'm talking in bits and pieces and with no proper flow... whatever... it's a blog only... yah... so after tennis, went back for a nice nap (rmb i mentioned it was pouring?? yes, that's why the nap was so shiok)... drove to pick up qiang b4 heading to mandai... so exciting... actually, i didn't really have high expectations of the night safari... maybe that's why i enjoyed it better... it's nothing much really... but just a nice place to spend a relaxing night (w/o having to pay the steep entrance price)... and yes... thanks qiang once again... he could have gotten someone else to go w him... (ok, maybe he did just that i'm the only swakoo one that is excited abt gg safari)... LOL... and here are some pics i took... in office, and at the safari... okay, can call it the day-zoo (office) and night safari... LOL...

In the war room preparing the jars of candies for our colleagues

In KBOX with lydia, fj and serene...

FINALLY... at Night Safari...

With qiang, who generously invited me to night safari! yay...

oh i forgot to mention one thing... went jln kayu for supper after the night w animals... omg... the ice teh-cino is the worst worst worst i've ever drank... *pui*... like plain water.... and teh-cino is supposed to be v thick and nice... omg... i can't believe it... what an insult to all teh-cino makers... hahahahaha....

RAWR... i'm gg to "jump" already......

no supervisor for cp (nobody reply despite sending email out)... getting shid fr all my managers... all giving me instructions independently and now they say why i nv update them of the changes that the other managers told me to amend.... whey... someone just tell me... who is the boss... i report to one person can le... dun play politics w me... fr tmr onwards, i only take instructions fr one person le...

and my eye is infected... i think it's the infection of the lash follicle again... seems to feel the same as the last time... so gotta use johnsons&johnsons baby shampoo (the classic yellow one) to 'shampoo' my lashes.. gosh... then use saline water to clean the area arn my eye...

on top of an infected, swollen eye.... my ankle and knee are giving me problems too... knee not too bad... but my ankle occasionally bu ting hua... if i apply pressure (normal walking pressure) on the right side of my sole... then a sharp pain throbs up at the ankle... haiz... dno what's wrong also... all i know is i doubt i can go jogging anytime soon...

ha, or was that just a lazy excuse....

in any case... i'm tired and my eye is closing (partly cos the eyelid is swollen!)... gotta recuperate for a bloodless battle tmr le... *yawnz*

oh btw, i watched transformers with hc and mj today... show wasn't too bad... except perhaps transformer fans may criticize it... haha

JUMP

*woah* *wow* *whee*

Went to watch JUMP, a comedic martial arts performance, at the esplanade today with my family. Cool... AWED... haha... They were really good... all the somersaults, wall-walking, splits, kung-fu fighting and etc etc...

And quite a lot of people went to watch it, pretty much a full house... Funny and witty and really really amazing martial arts performance... On top of that, according to the pictures in the programme booklet, the guys are quite cute and so are the girls! A pity I was sitting too far back to see their faces... Awww

Oh and i realised Rockapella would be coming to Singapore to perform in early Nov... Cool... would like to catch their performance but it seems like it's smack in the middle of project submissions period... rawr...

Anyway, i'm trying to "look wider" (kan kai) now... haha... life goes on man... nobody will noe exactly what's gonna happen tmr... oh well...

ah, b4 i forget, i saw a cute guy at the herbal soup restaurant at macpherson on Thur! haha... young, cute, and best of all, wearing a pilot uniform... wah... shuai... i like... HAHA... and coincidentally nobody sat in between my line of vision towards his direction... wah... bio until full full... best of all, he looked over a few times too... (okay maybe i'm dreaming abt that, but i tot he really did)... haha...

time to do boring work now... data-entry on weekend... leave the weekdays for more constructive work... boo

correction

ok lemme correct sth...

actually...

i don't mind being a pet too!!! cuddling up to someone... being fed... being shampooed...

sounds gd too eh? ok i'm gg crazy... hahahahaha...

i watched too many shows alr... oh btw, that's one of my fave past time if anyone hasn't noticed it yet... i can watch 19 episodes of chu han jiao xiong at one go... that makes it at least 19 hrs straight... how's that.. haha...

ok i admit it... i've got inferiority complex...

in fact, my mind thinks too much that's why i like to slp and not think (then again i always dream alot too)...

haiz... i'm just blabbering words now.

私もペットがほしい！！！

ok, this is a little absurd... but somehow I'd also like a 'human pet' like sumire-chan. perhaps that's cos i can relate to how she feels. hmm.

i guess i'm not what many ppl think i am... okay then again, i did attempt to tell people how i'm sometimes like. haha... i love my pig sty... i'm comfortable with all that mess in my room... i can even roll over my own clothes with my computer chair (i mean accidentally, but then i'll still not be bothered to pick them up unless it's a nice piece of clothing). I can leave my dirty dishes lying all around. then again, sometimes i can be such a clean freak... oh well..

and I can sleep... i can really sleep... i love to laze around... i behave like a pig really... my best time to nap is after a meal... lol... call me a 'homely' person... but i'm absolutely fine with just lying in bed whole day... even on a saturday...

i'm not quite a social animal... don't exactly enjoy meeting new people... not that i dislike meeting new people... it's just that i feel uncomfortable... especially when i don't know what to say to them... well, interpersonal chemistry is quite important to me... i can hit off well with people if that tinge of chemistry is there... but if that's lacking, no matter how hard they try to be friendly, i'll stick my hand out and keep that distance...

i love to exercise alone at night... but that doesn't mean i love to exercise (it just means that if i really have to, i'd love to do so at night)... jogging/swimming under the blanket of stars... that sounds like a good idea to me... then when i'm feeling all tired, the cool night breeze would occasionally perk me up...

i'm very fickle-minded... indecisive... bad liar... absolutely lazy... goaless... super idler... whatever...

maybe that's why... that's why i need a pet... but since my parents absolutely forbid any animals in the house... and i dislike it when the animal starts stinking up the house... i decided i need a 'human pet'... something/one that i can feel free to be myself with... to open up to... and yet accepts me for who i am... and at the same time (fulfilling the pet's duty), not betray the master (me) at anytime... not be annoying... not be jealous... not be demanding... see, that's the difference between having a bf and a pet... i'd prefer the latter... because i'm in control... do as i like... no retaliation... no cumbersome demands... no insecurity...

ok... i've just revealed it... i'm a spoilt child (i wonder if it's still proper to regard myself as a child though)... haha...

that's it... love me... hate me...

*oh btw, i'm getting real fat n outta shape*... ahh, nice if i could go running with my pet... at my own pace... rest whenever i'm tired... accelerate whenever i feel like having the wind in my face... listen to me grumble or yak on excitedly (so i won't appear like i'm talking to myself)... oh, and even better still, protect me from all bad people who tries to be funny with me if i go exercising in the middle of the night (not that i've met any in my midnight jogs so far, but just in case~)

lol.... i'm such a weirdo... ok... NEMASU...

Clumsy

my ankle hurts at an angle... so does my knee...

worse off... my tailbone is bruised... a big black bruise...

all because I fell down twice (in two days)...

oh and chances of gg back kr... pathetic...

seems like... i'm pretty unwanted... ok then i'll make the best outta my unwanted life...

*pain*...

Pure Chaos is Over

PC Show is Pure Chaos Show... having 2 booths 50m away from each other makes it worse... in the morning before the exhibition starts, 50m = 50m... but after 11.40am, 50m=200m (supposed to start at 12 but the crowd gathering outside is far to overwhelming that they had to let them in before they jam up the escalators and cause any accidents)...

bruises, scratches, loss of voice, muscleaches are just some of the things i've gotten out from this madness... but on top of all these, i did learn a lot... i learnt how resellers can be so cunning, trying all sorts of ways to get more sales... i learnt how most of them are ah bengs/ ah lians but amidst them, there are still some nice souls around... i learnt how lucky draws can be conducted in the afternoon just to create some hype when it was only suggested in the morning. i learnt that a gd printer and a laptop is a must-have in the storeroom in case of any emergency changes to prices and promotions. i learnt that it doesn't matter if u're a manager, an intern, or a temp promoter, u still gotta do saikang at a PC show.

LOL... and here are some pics i took:

My pitstop redemption booth. dominic, kaymiang and robyn.

The boxes were done up by the resellers to gain more attention. At least this one was printed. My pitstop had one that was hand-drawn, so ugly, no wonder gain attention -_-"

The redemption booth at the grandstand. Lydia's chaotic territory. My pitstop was less hectic.

Why the grandstand is called the grandstand and the pitstop a pitstop? See the double storey it had at the grandstand? mine was only a single storey terrace. but sadly the grandstand was like a bungalow amidst the mansions/castles, albeit bigger than the pitstop, it looked puny among its neighbours. Mine was just a calm neighbourhood of terraces, moreover i had a big balloon overhead to attract some attention.

the two interns on the 2nd storey of the grandstand. look at the sea of ppl in the background!

The SingNet BroadBand special offer that gave away free Lenovo Y300. Had to take this picture and report to boss. Part of the reason why i was involved in the PC Show, because I'm currently working on two projects with SingTel.

The temp staff, all so young :( And their da jie lydia. haha...

me, lydia, ryan, mike(fr ingram) n serene... all tired but glad the show is over!

me, lydia, serene and ryan. see how tired serene looked! but it's no wonder, since she's the woman behind the entire show for lenovo! 3 cheers!

hey hey, and not forgetting siva... ooh how we worship him... pc show is nothing w/o him too!

Marketing vs Sales... FIGHT!

Entering the 4th week at work... I conclude that Marketing and Sales people are always loggerheads... One goes for the long-term brand equity... the other goes for short-term sales... Very different altogether... and when u have no powers... u're sandwiched in between... which makes u v tired... and that is why... i need to zzz now... ha

*yawnz*

ThinkLab... Think... Lenovo

hurray... finally one project that I was point for...... is over!!!

It's the Lenovo-NUS ThinkLab. In short, it's a revamp of the previous PC Cluster at the computer centre, into one entirely endorsed by Lenovo. Flooded with the ThinkCentre A60 desktops, some workstations at the side even comes with webcam and headphones for a whole new multimedia experience!

Well, basically my job was very executional. In fact, I only came aboard 3 weeks ago, the period of ramp-up for this project. Had to liaise with the different vendors... Ensure the renovation works are according to branding guidelines of both Lenovo and AMD (never realised there are so many branding guidelines before I embark on this)... Make sure the designs are good... The layout is fine... And to create the hype, we had the official opening ceremony yesterday... Had to rush out bus stop ads and pvc banners in less than a week... cater for the lunch reception (which was pretty gd)... arrange for emcee, sound system and confetti cannon (which literally was a blast!)... simple things like door stoppers, projectors, red ribbons (plus scissors)... I also had to ensure they were properly in place... And there was the packing of the goodie bags... so nostalgic when I thought about packing goodie bags for mediacorp publishing's events...

What I believe was the most hectic though... believe it or not... is the sending out of the invites to all the VIPs and guests... It was tough because it had to first go through the PR company... then get Lenovo to approve... changes made.... PR redraft... Lenovo approve... then get NUS to approve... changes made... informed PR (but over the weekend, cannot reach them)... so Lenovo internally take things into hand.... redraft... let NUS approve... and finally... I had to print it at 10+pm at dan's place to get them ready for sending on monday morning 9am... yes... thanks dan so much for the help! But oh well, the turn out was pretty okay... the following are some of the pictures I took...

The PVC banner that was done up very last minute. All thanks to Eric, who was very patient with us and accommodated all our last minute changes and requests. LOL...

The ThinkLab... Nice har...

The three multimedia stations with the big kapaline behind.

me, fengjuan and lydia... taking pictures just before the event starts...

The "Lenovo Girls" at the reception area...

Fang Min doing his presentation to the VVIPs and guests... Turn out wasn't too bad...

The food we catered from Kriston... Pretty decent looking...

The VVIPs...

Yeah... am glad this project is over... will have to continue working on other projects... interning at Lenovo has been quite an experience... so thankful I am given the chance... with good managers/mentors as well.. yipez...

Oh and I just received my results yday... one step closer to my goal... haha... but that means i'd have to work doubly hard next semester!!!

er... woohoot?

well exams are over... quite some time ago tho.. haha.. but i haven't been doing anything constructing yet...

just rotting at home... watch shows... oh btw, i recommend chu3 han4 jiao1 xiong2... a hk drama abt the fight between the chu (xiangyu) and the han (liu bang)... interesting... witty... exciting... etc... can also pick up some chi phrases... ha...

anyway... i concluded that my life is pretty black and white... and thus... i shall literally add colours to it... have a colourful wardrobe of clothes... colourful accessories, stationery, watever.... ok yes, that doesn't quite balance out tho... oh guess what.. since my exams ended last week... i haven't been out with anyone else besides.. my sis.. and my family... lol... i'm such a loner... haha.. and i haven't lived up to what i intended to... EXERCISE... gosh... i'm a flab of fat growing larger each day...

and what's been making me upset in the past couple of weeks... it's my bad habit really... of comparing myself with others... how i so paled in comparison all the time... others have friends to hang out with all the time... leadership roles in clubs and societies... taking part in many activities... going for parties and celebrations... travelling overseas... chilling at the beach... etc etc... exciting, funfilled life... me leh me leh... nth.. nil.. zero...

BUT... ok... snap snap... get outta that comparing thing... i've got my own life to live... i do what i like... even if that means slping in 16hrs a day simply cos u got nothing to do... HAHAHA... omg.. did i really do that? i dunno... lol... but i just wanna stop letting others 'tell' me what a fun and exciting life is... i don't need that... really... my life... live it my way...

boo.. i'm a loner... LONER LONER LONER...

shy and introvert loner...

GET A LIFE!!! er... sorry, what life?

... it's 6.47am now... i can't get to slp... tucked myself in bed at 5.15am.... tossed and turned... and tossed and turned... and realised... my life is truly upside down...

been sleeping at arn 8-10am everyday... waking up at 12-2pm... and then work through the day... and through the night... until i sleep at 8-10am again the next day... since it's 6.47am now... i guess that's why i'm not sleepy yet...

BUT wait... this isn't right... this is too nocturnal already... i should be sound asleep in my bed... say by 2am.. and wake up fresh in the morning at 8am... that should be the way... ok... maybe weekends wake up at 10am.. haha... but still... oh gosh and yes, today is sunday... it's the weekend... darnz... n i can't get to slp!!!

oh well.. maybe that's because i've just finished my super duper whooper (BK?!?!) busy period... finally submitted my last project report for the semester... the IA individual term paper... still can't believe i churned out 20 pages of crap in 3 days...

and yes, i was just curious why exactly was i so busy and so i went counting the number of reports/tests/presentations i had to do this semester.... i found out i actually wrote EIGHT individual reports and SIX group reports... plus i had a total of NINE presentations... and i sat for FIVE tests... and going to sit for ONE exam... in just one semester... yes... in just 4 short months... not forgetting january is quite slack for most modules... so all those were done in just 3 mths or less... that means a total of about 12 weeks... and within these 12 weeks, i had to do a total of 28 presentations/tests/reports... that's at least 2+ things per week... faintz...

papa... now u noe why u seldom see me since i came back fr manchester... in fact, i didn't manage to catch up with many people either... like when i saw daniel in the canteen today... i realised i haven't been talking to him much ever since coming back... to think he is my TR buddy!! lol... and my dear babes... the last time i met them was when i was working for babycare fest... not to mention i haven't seen jh n kel for an even longer time!!! the people i've seen the most... are my project mates... oh... and interviewers too (for internships!)... geez...

hongyi... GET A LIFE!!!! it's time to get outta ya cooped-up room filled with all your files and documents and books and what not...

hmm... but how long can i do that for? after my exam on wed... in no time i'd be starting my internship... then it's gonna be bz bz bz again... for the next three months... and before i know it... it's the start of another academic year... and yes... my last year in uni... figured that i'd be quite bz next sem too based on the courses i have to take...

and hence i conclude...

HONGYI, U HAVE NO LIFE!!! (wanna get a life oso cannot... haiz)...

and again i conclude...

hongyi, u're gonna be single forever... "nobody likes u.. everybody hates u" *chant chant*... live alone in your own world... work on your damn projects... u belong nowhere... u have no social circle... be a loner forever!!!

CHOTTO MATTE...

ok that's a bit too pessimistic... HAHA... oh well... howsoever life would unfold for me... i can't tell, really... just gonna take one step at a time... and just hope for nice surprises along the way... (hope? lol... i still rmb i told zh the other day "hope? hope is crap... it's worthless... waste time only..." haha and that totally shocked him... oh c'mon... i was just ranting abt everything!)...
