today i took a breather from work and watched some How I Met Your Mother (henceforth known as HIMYM because im lazy to keep typing the full name out)

it's been a gruelling 2 days, what with the concurrent executive memo due as usual on wed and 214 assignment due this friday. the past two days i was out til almost midnight trying to get work done. and i can't tell you how much i want the bloody markstrat to be over because it's just giving me nightmares. i went to take a nap just now and i WAS DREAMING ABOUT IT THE WHOLE TIME DAMNIT. and the usual stuff lar: i can't bloody wait for peer evaluation! just 4 more weeks to go and i can say goodbye forever to useless people!! :):) man, just thinking about them makes me wanna hurl. (hurl something and literally hurl)

still, monday and tuesday were pretty nice because i had catchup meals with people i haven't been seeing too often! monday lunch was uber relaxing with shuxian at some jap restaurant at the ulu jurong west stadium. but it was nice! and the food was cheap and good. girl let's make this a weekly thing and ask yuezhen too alright? :) the lunch cheered me up substantially from markstrat and even more so when i discovered the same loophole in the dumb program as shuxian did! ;) heh heh. how incredibly useful!
yesterday night dinner was with ah mol at popeyes and the dearest mol basically helped me complete my entire 214 assignment. hahahhaa. i would have never been able to produce that level of english, ever! thanks sweetie! hopefully this would give me the good grade that i desperately need. :)


i can't wait for the week to end! lots of things to look forward to over the weekend! ktv with the ktv boys and jiayin and jitty's birthdays! :)




people, just skip the next whole chunk because i'm just repeating myself and i just need to rant.

i am so sick and tired of that bloody group. i have never ever met people as incompetent and useless. i thought i have seen the worst lot for my accounting I project but this really takes the cake. let me break down to you what happens every week during discussion:
1. they come in, with absolutely no idea what happened in that week's results. they don't give a crap, and they actually have the audacity to come in and ASK ME THEN what happened. WTF. DOES OPENING THAT DAMN PROGRAMN TAKE TWO HOURS? the friggin' results come in every wednesday afternoon and they couldn't even take 5 minutes to take a look at it. nooooooo, even though there's like, oh i don't know, about 100 hours in between wednesday and monday for them to do so?!
2. group discussion basically equates to I-Talk-They-Nod, I-Ask-They-Stare-At-Me. WTF LAR. I HAVE TO THINK OF ALL THE IDEAS BY MYSELF. there's nobody to add on to my ideas, there's nobody to help think whether my ideas actually work. is it any surprise that we did so badly this time round? how is it possible that anyone can handle the whole thing by themselves week after week?! THERE'S A FREAKING REASON WHY THIS PROJECT IS GROUP WORK.
3. when they finally decide to open their mouths, they are either repeating what i've just said, rephrasing what i've just said, or talking rubbish. (case in point, in the midst of discussion, giving comments such as "oh! why the other firms so pro ah?" STFU LAR)

i cannot deny that they produce good work in the memos. but so what? where are all the ideas coming from? where are all the decisions coming from?
i'm exhausted from this whole thing.
i dread seeing them so much that i want to just forgo this whole thing and not show up for the meeting on monday anymore.
that monday night, as the two of us were left there, slogging away at 11pm in the seminar room, the level of irresponsibility they have finally hit me hard. they honestly, truly do not care what happens to our project. i worry about the results, i brainstorm for ideas, i get upset when we don't do well, and every week they just come in with that i-dont-give-a-flying-fick-attitude.
i am so so so tired.

countdown to end of markstrat and all this crap: 26 days.













anyway HIMYM is getting better! jiayin! can watch it! it's not too bad at all!
