remember the list that i made of attractive qualities of guys ?



TURN ON LIST ;) (guys this is your cue to stop reading)

1. nice smelling guys, no doubt.
2. very important, the gentleman
such a rarity, that the occasional gentleman becomes a gem! these are the
people who give way to girls first, who open doors, and who wave away your money
when you offer to pay for the drinks.
3. nice build + height
nice height = > 178cm
nice build = having nice broad shoulders + not overly lanky.
4. long slender fingers
-shrugs- i have no idea why either. just so lovely :)
5. intellectual/shy
6. musical
preferably lah, but i'm not fussy about this ;P
7. good sense of humour
8. lovely smile which equates to smiley eyes. I LIKE!
9. a fantastic singer
this is even more rare than the gentleman, such that we girls go all siao
ding dong when one eventually emerges. and we try to kup them for kbox outings
:)
10. and the clincher is.. DIMPLES!!i am, of course, outrageously biased.
this was only added after i started working, see see?



pretty damn interesting how your priorities change over a period of 1.5 years!
it's time to rejig my definition of attractiveness of qualities in the boys! hahaha. :P



TURN ON LIST 2007

1. well duh, personal hygiene is definitely a MUST?

2. and of course gentlemen are always greatly appreciated :)

3. nice build + height

nice height: i realised i have more leeway for height nowadays. 174-5 onwards is good enough, and i'm capping it at 181cm. anything more than that is a strain to my neck and bad for my posture and I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT. somemore i look like a friggin' dwarf. no thanks. hahaha.
nice build: yeah, just don't look skinnier than me. heehee.

4. long slender fingers don't care.

5. intellectual/shy
intellectual: oh HELL YEAH. i have a thing for guys who are good at quantitative stuff, so guys in accountancy, banking, engineering, sciences etc. for me please. ;) can't deal with guys who are arty farty. haha.
shy: COMPLETELY ENDEARING. oh my. shyness can be so charming yes?

6. musical don't need.

7. good sense of humour
.
must be of similar wavelength of course

8. lovely smile.
STILL such a MAJOR factor! i'm thoroughly charmed by guys with wide lovely smiles and small smiley eyes! yes, soft spot for small eyes! goshdarn cute!

9. fantastic singer rare. so i don't care.

10. dimples. as a bonus!




and new stuff

11. well-dressed/groomed guys.
severe lack of 'em in NBS, apparently. for some weird reason.
please don't turn up in your singlet and berms and slippers which are things you were obviously wearing in your hall room. shows a lack of respect towards other people, i should think.
a well-dressed dude is such a rare gem!

12. guys who can articulate properly and present themselves REASONABLY well.
i don't need a guy who's a fantastic presenter (in fact, wary of such people. silver-tongued. hahah) just somebody who can SPEAK PROPERLY such that he is universally understood.

13. nice deep CLEAR voices ;)
clear, being the operative word.
if i take eons to understand you, it's just plain annoying.

14. cheena-fied guys who watch english shows.
already win halfway. hahaha.

oh yes, exams are over. were over actually, since tuesday. and i don't understand why, but all my enthusiasm seemed to have flown right out of the window!! i want my holidays to be packed with fun-filled activities damnit!



consumer behaviour wasn't too hot. but whatever. i am still complaining about the fact that marketing modules with closed book exams completely defeat the purpose of marketing. hahaha.
and just like the rest of the semester, the exam period seemed alot shorter this time round, even the studying bit was just as every bit sickening as the past two times. hoho.




i had to take this picture because i was so amused by the mess that Research Methods created. textbook, lecture notes, notes in notebook, presentation slides and MORE self-made notes. whaahha.

the marketing girls (minus poor peisee who had spanish in the evening) after Consumer Behaviour. late lunch at IMM's ichiban boshi. (WAS IT? i can't differentiate the jap restaurants lah haha.) we spent 1/2 hr eating and 1.5 hours talking rot. hahaha. all great, can't wait to have the same seminars with them next semester! :)

and this morning, i got myself a haircut (only waited until now despite the fact that my hair looks like SHIT, no less, because i have been influenced by what stupid mj said so many years ago about having bad luck should you cut your hair during exam periods. haha)

then it was lunch at Soup Spoon with xinwei and yuexin, before we went over to (FREAKING ULU PANDAN) JEC's kbox (because we were going to meet zhi jiayin and jiayi who were going from school). man, do i hate that place. (JEC, not the kbox itself haha) not only is that place at the absolute pits of singapore, it also reeks of.. oh i don't know, PAST STUPIDITY?


kbox, followed by dinner at xin wang cafe at Marina Square. love the noodles, even though it looks cheapskate. great comfort food though :)

and just a reminder of what i have coming up. i actually forgot my own schedule and yuexin had to remind me hahaha.
thurs (today): slack at home the whole day and watch Weeds, The Simpsons, Heroes and House. and any new HK shows.
fri: ktv with my ktv boys!
sat: -
sun: - (sian)
next week, mambo on wednesday. SEAH! YOU ON OR NOT! AND ARE YOU GOING TO BRING YOUR FRIENDS! (-coughs- hahaha)
thurs, lydia wants slacking at her house!
saturday, kbox with vjco people??
dimsum buffet one of the days, mahjong with yuexin etc one of the days.



oh yes, and yuexin and i found out yesterday that our friendship had reached a new milestone. this was what happened. HAHAH. AMUSING!


blah blah blah we were talking about some random stuff on msn..

*man*
wahaha im rewatching the lawyer show nw.. lin feng realy super cute leh!!

x=yUexln=x
so wad u doing now?

x=yUexln=x
ahha wah so qiao

*man*
wah i answered ur qn before u asked!

*man*
HAHAHA

x=yUexln=x
haha ya!

x=yUexln=x
oh dis is realli amusing

hahaha the two sentences were about 1.5 seconds apart. NOT BAD SIA! great minds think alike. :)


All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

"Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams. it's actually a song with a happy ending, if you listen to it to the end. but let's not be unrealistic.
haha.

sigh.

so distracted.

i'm so tired and i have no mood to study for that one last paper! :(

i have fallen asleep again and again on the textbook (literally), i have been so damn bored that i went to watch the Martha Stewart Show (like OMG.), i have slept so much that i ended up with a splitting headache. ARGH.

that's it. i'm moving out of my room to the dining table.
yeurgh. WHY ON EARTH IS CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR CLOSED BOOK?! i don't think marketing modules should be allowed to have closed book exams. how preposterous.

but still, despite the crankiness and all, i'm reaaaally looking forward to post exam plans!! :) i can't help keep getting distracted by thoughts of outings and parties and whatnots even while i'm supposed to be studying, but hey, good motivation!

YAY! after exams, i'm looking forward to
1. kbox with study group girls. zhi!! IMPRESARIO?? hahahha.
2. kbox with ber hf and wil
3. ktv with the ktv dudes
4. kbox with vjco people
5. kbox with the marketing girls and ob people! SHUXIAN! we MUST go at least once lah!
6. MAHJONG! with whoever!
7. DIMSUM buffet again!
8. mambooooooooo! with whoever!
9. taitai outings with mol and jy. haha
10. jiayin's xmas party! yayness! :)

okay that's all i can think of for the time being, but i'm sure i have loads more to do.
oh joy! :)

i think my TCM lecturer is very nice. too bad i skipped most of the lectures and spent most of the time i was actually at the lecture, sleeping or chatting.
only realised what a funny dude he was at the last lecture, ah well.
MOTIVATION TO GET A FOR TCM! :)



同学们好大家准备好了吗?,掌握好复习重点,不必担心考试,注意休息,不要过劳。

祝你们成功!

19号见

OKAY OKAY. i'm only upset about the 10mark essay questions which would have easily given me the 10 marks. so, let's hope for
1. people doing the other essay questions which are tougher when they actually don't know how to do
2. my answers to have actually made sense (yeah-haha-right)
3. lots of moderation
4. not many people getting A for the midterm test
5. lenient marking

2 hours of heroes, then i'm going back to Consumer Behaviour. tomorrow, full gear for TCM. need to kick some PRC butt. BLOODY HELL. A FOR TCM OKAY! ALL YOU PRCS GO AWAY!! :)

bloody emotions paper was effing easy, and that would naturally translate into me not knowing that the most basic stuff was going to come out, hence resulting in me assuming that i knew the basic stuff. point is, i did, unfortunately, i did not know the effing textbook answer, which no doubt half the population would have thrown down to get the full marks. so i went ahead and wrote one long grandmother story which not only beat around the bush, but also probably did not even hit the main points.


therefore, i am screwed.

so i ask you, what's the bloody point in reading all the goddamnmothereffing readings which put together are about 100+ pages thick with font size 10? what's the bloody point in having the ability to crap out drivel on the spot?
if they're going to come out the easiest shit in the essays, the stuff which i actually memorised in the mcq section, then i might as well have not studied at all, and would have probably gotten the same grades as i'm going to get now. now thanks to this, the whole population, INCLUDING everyone who s/u-ed the stupid module are going to get awesome grades. but i'm not.
B+ max if i'm lucky.
my GPA is so damn screwed.
i should have spent my day yesterday on better things, like watching the Linkin Park concert.



sorry, i am upset.
i will revert back to my cheery self soon.

i'm sorry folks, i've spent the entire day on Emotions and i need a break, hence it's time for round 2 of


PICTURES FROM THE PAST COMING BACK TO HAUNT YOU.



(don't worry yuexin and huimin, i only got that many old study group outing photos. dhsco boys and girls, too bad. heehee. 大家一起丑啦!)
i'm slowly going back in time. round 1 was from 2005. this time round, 2004 :) after exams i shall go and dig up the old com photos i have back in 2003. AND CHUA MJ YOU VERY LIHAI! "LOST" OUR COM PHOTO YES? haha.


this is my "TOO BAD IM GOING TO POST THESE PHOTOS ANYWAY"-look. (ok lar actually not. i just like this photo and i want to post it somewhere. HAHA)





jiayin! before you kill me, LOOK! YOUR FAVOURITE!! hahaha.


OKAY AH? I PUT REALLY FUGLY PHOTOS OF MYSELF ALSO. fair is fair. hahaha.

aiyo. what was wrong with me. how come i can go out of the house looking like that?! having said that, man, was i skinny :(



TO BE CONTINUED! STAY TUNED FOR ROUND 3. HEEHEE.


right, anyway. city hall's starbucks is really quite a lovely place to spend your entire day at studying. it's not exactly a quiet place, what with all the angmoh tourists sipping lattes, the japanese taitais decked in Chanel from head-to-toe, the sharply dressed businessmen (some of the angmoh ones really quite yum. haha!). and of course there's your occasional Hot Dad With Adorable Kids.

sorry really blur. was trying to be discreet heh heh. HOT okay, either Italian or French! ;)

yeah. seems like i was people-watching more than studying right? no lor. I WAS PRODUCTIVE :)


it's 2.52am, people. and it's time to go back to Consumer Behaviour.

16 more days!

taking a breather from Emotions. seriously, who gives a crap about the anthropology of emotions? (i don't even know what the heck that means) i pretty much just realised that this module is actually classified under Sociology, and not Psychology, which would make lots of sense why i'm not liking this module too much. BLARH.


still. must kick some HSS ass.



anyway, in the midst of the breather, i went to look through the pictures i've uploaded at Imagestation EONS AGO. the last time i uploaded anything there was circa may31st 2005.
MY LORD. I LOOK LIKE SHITE. hahahahahaha. i couldnt stop cringing and wanting to laugh.




lo and behold, ladies and gentleman. study group outing dated january 2005.


stop laughing.
actually i think mj is the only one who hasn't changed at all since 2 years ago. 没有进步leh 蔡铭杰. heehee. (okay. you didn't deprove from your FOTY years either, so that's good for your Hey Gorgeous campaign. hahahaha)


those caught in these incriminating photos can tag on my board to protest furiously about these photos, but before you all kill me, must show the contrast what! :)

yes, we're all pretty now. so shut up. hahahah.

maybe 2 years later i will look back at the photos on my blog now and think to myself WTF WAS I DOING BACK THEN?!




alright time for bed. tomorrow i'm spending some quality time with myself at City Hall's starbucks. just me, myself and HS812. :)

the festering resent.





sometimes the level of selfishness some people possess is really beyond comprehension.
next time, this will be my response.

alright. one last post before all my posts would be about how much i hate Emotions/TCM/Research Methods/insert (random annoying kid at the airport/staff canteen food/studying/uni life in general)

as of tomorrow onwards, my life is once again back to the cycle of waking up in a grumpy mood, dragging myself to the airport, spending the entire day, dragging myself back, sleeping and so on. it is horrendous how quickly this semester has passed by!


well, another friday, another day well-spent! (not quite in the sense of studying though. got through only 1/2 of an Emotions lecture) studying session with the study group gals (full attendance, finally! :D) followed by dinner and supper.


yes, my french toast is really quite scarily big! :P

yay. can't wait for our xmas party + sleepover!! :D hahah it seems that everytime we meet, we laugh and laugh until i forget that our exams are actually in 2 weeks time :P

LOVE MY STUDY GROUP GIRLS! ;)




24 days to end of it all!



and that yuexin ah, woke me up this morning just to complain about how some people got body odour and it's very disgusting. HAHAHAHAA. i started laughing when i saw the sms! ok lah, appreciate your efforts in bringing joy and laughter to other people's lives. hahaha.

sigh. i don't feel like talking now.


i'm completely and utterly disgusted with my 214 presentation. i admit defeat lah. the A+ i got last semester was a complete fluke and it was probably because my tutor loved me.


seriously, i have no idea WTF is wrong with my presentation skills this semester.
i think it has something to do with the fact that i have an angmoh tutor, and my classmates are all pretty great presenters. so as always, today the moment i stepped up there, i drew a complete blank, panicked, and stumbled through about 1/4 of my presentation before managing to grab hold of myself and start presenting the way i'm supposed to be presenting.
thank god for the second half of the presentation which was still up to my expectations, if not i'd probably NOT be typing here. probably would have killed myself.
:(
yeah. you can probably see the impact of not doing a perfect presentation for 214 on me. i was sulking the entire day and i'm still sulky. hahaha.




and friggin' great. the last marketing assignment got me a pretty A (vic says reading that assignment is like reading my blog. haha!) BUT thanks to bloody class participation, which i have absolutely no idea took such a major percentage. THIS HAPPENED:

now, does this make sense to you:
15%: B+, 7%: A-, 8%: A, 10%: A-, 10%: B-
HOW COME ONE B- CAN PULL MY OVERALL 50% COURSEWORK GRADE TO B+?!?!
and how was i to know class participation has such a great effect? like that i would have just uttered some rubbish just for the sake of those marks!


THANK YOU LAR. like that how to get A for consumer behaviour?! what am supposed to do? get A+ for the final paper to get A overall?
these are the two modules which take up the most AUs, and i have incredibly high expectations for marketing AND comm management. because i know these would be the only things that i'm good at, and YET, for some goddamn reason, i'm still NOT performing up to my expectations.
ARGHH.



okok. must be consoled by the fact that my assignments are probably still above average. now, just need to pray that there's moderation for coursework :)



i'm going to get A+ for the in-class writing test next week even if it KILLS ME. -snarls-



and yes, actually shuxian has given me motivation to mug hard! GIRL! A for emotions, TCM and consumer behaviour yes!?
(ie. screw research methods hahaha)


i'm REALLY off to study some Emotions now. ciao :)
