After spending quite some time writing in this blog, I've decided its time to move. I remember this blog was started when I was down. Memories through the years will still be kept here.

Anyway my new blog address:

2 papers down and 2 more to go! Thank god Accounting 2 paper is over!
It's an official countdown of 5 more days of the mundane routine of waking up, mug, eat, mug, eat, watch 10pm show, mug, sleep.
Was taking a little break last night and came across this video claiming to have filmed a ghost at a Raffles Place office with their cctv.
Take a look:

There have been lots of debates whether or not it is really a brush with the paranormal or if its just somebody's idea of a joke. Whatever the truth is, it sure adds a little interest to a day of mugging!

Once again, exams are just round the corner!
Days of waking up to mug and mugging all the way to bed.
Amidst this busy period of preparation for the final battle,
here's a little update with pictures from Wai Ching's birthday..
Since her party had a summer theme,
our gifts for her were summer-ish too.
Bikini, straw bag, bangle and necklace :)
And a free umbrella from Island shop.
Lol.
Let the pictures tell the story.

On a sadder note, I just lost $50 cash and a cashcard worth $40.
It literally disappeared from my wallet.
Too much of a coincidence that 2 things were missing from my wallet.
Oh well.
Can't see how I can find it back.
Time to get back to books.
Ciao :)

Everything seems to have changed.
Can a broken bridge be built back?
Can holes be mended back?
Can things be back to what it is?
Wounds may heal,
But scars remain.

Cobwebs are growing thick here.
Hardly had time to sleep,
much less update my blog.
Lucky enough,
today's a short respite from the hectic school life.
Because I've skip my morning lecture and slept until 12.35pm.
Meanwhile, I can update abit with some long overdue misc photos and those from Clarissa's 21st birthday!
Clarissa's surprise birthday was organized secretly by her bf.
So sweet :)

The couple

Projects were always a chore.
But these pain in the neck were definitely made more tolerable by having fantastic project mates. The things that we were up to,
some crazy videos,
which I can't pose without inviting murder from Esther ;p
Just a few photos from our misc projects gathering,

Esther acting emo. Haha.

All of us acting emo.

At times temper might be harsh,
all under the strain of deadlines.
Despite it,
bonds were forged,
and made unforgettable.
3 cheers to
Esther,
Glenda
&
Ying Chun.
For making 7 periods of Markstrat, BM215 and school fun.
Hearts :)

Hand sewn by Sean :)
One year has passed by surprisingly quick.
Ups & Downs,
Laughter & Tears.
Like any other.
What matter most,
is a heart that stays true,
a heart that stays filled,
with love.

Hearts you :)

A very long post

This will be a post with many overdue photos and updates.
Despite this week being a recess week,
it is still awfully busy.
What with accounting quiz,
projects deadline just round the corner,
and many others.

Of all the projects,
Markstrat is by far the one that demands the most time.
We worked till 11pm @ Glenda's house on Tuesday.
Markstrat is this online stimulation game,
whereby my team takes on the role of product manager.
So every week we have to look after our ROI, stock price, market share etc.
Whatever the results of our 'company',
will be reflected upon our actual school grades.
Every week we're subjected to this competition among 5 'companies',
which are in fact just 5 groups in our seminar class.
The results are released every wed afternoon.
Just this wed,
I received a msg from Esther stating:
"OMG girls, we've to work hard to stop others from taking over us!"
My heart almost drop out.
I thought we had lost.
Called Esther immediately,
turned out she was just pulling our legs.
Gosh.
A competitive game like this just brings out the desire to win.
That's the clever bit by our lecturer.
Make anything competitive,
and you've got the students' full efforts.

Oh, and I managed to get the internship at BBDO advertising agency,
came as quite a shock,
the Planning director initially told me he'll get back to me 2 days after the phone interview,
but I didn't receive anything from him for the whole week.
Thought all was gone,
till I received a call yesterday at 7+pm.
Hope the school approves the internship.
One of the top 4 agencies in the world,
a chance that is rare to come by.
Pray for the best.

Some long long long overdue photos from Chin Hao's birthday.
Celebrated his birthday over steamboat.
Yum yum I heart steamboat.
But they make you incredibly full.
Up till the point of bursting.
Not a good sign for me as I burn calories at the rate of snails crawling.

Happy birthday Chin Hao!

Valentine's day!
Sean surprised me with a sweet balloon in school.
by pretending to ask me down to Canteen B for breakfast,
then coming up from behind with the balloon.
Sweet :)
In the end I brought the balloon along to shop with Esther,
and everybody probably thought we're a lesbian couple.
Lol.
Had dinner at Sun with Moon Japanese restaurant over @ Clarke Quey.
Their portions were so incredibly small!
The scallops and prawns I ordered were barely enough to fill 1/4 of my stomach :(

When we went back to Central,
I received a call from Song Yu,
of him asking us not to go upstairs.
Turned my head up and saw him and his gf just right along the corridor on the 2nd floor.
S'pore is just so small. Haha.

After dinner and slacking around,
we went to meet his friends at Clinic bar,
had a lychee martini.
That drink is heavenly.
Pardon my superstitions,
but I just thought the wheelchairs that Clinic bar had in place of real chairs,
were rather pantang to sit on.

Finally, last event of today's entry.
My very first networking night.
Handshakes, exchange of name cards, making small polite conversations,
all part of a glimpse into the corporate world.
Can't say I'm looking forward to it,
but its not something I can avoid either.
Especially not if I'm venturing into business marketing as a career.

Before going for the networking night,
we were at our product and pricing seminar class.
Our incredibly cluttered table with left overs from lunch.
