I always wondered i would do without these people.

Pearline and anuja often teach me how to do econs, wake me up for my exams, buy me lunches, let me use the 2nd cubicle of the shower rooms etcetc. grace porkie compiles her history notes and prints them out for me. eggtart always buy supper for me. cheryl buys random tidbits for me. my friends are so good to me! i think i don't deserve such good friends. i told anuja that and she said i think so too. i said fuck you and pointed my middle finger at her and she went hysterical. she proceeded to stick a notice that says i used to amuse my friends by acting like a monkey. MONKEY!!! my door hanger says PRINCESS and pearline wrote gong ju (which means princess) on my door gift ok.

And i finally completed watching 宫 goong (the amazingly popular korean drama) on youtube. yes in the midst of exams. we decided that youtube acts as our reward system. after reading one set of readings you are entitled to watch one part of youtube. anuja watches friends and lishi watches drew carey and grace watches animaniacs and possibly everything in the youtube world.

So sweet! i love this show so much!! v(^o^)v My youtube sessions enable me to escape from horrible laohong econs for a while and indulge in their laalaaland.

During this period of difficult times, i have some heartening news.

My mno tutor decided to push my movie video score upwards cos he realised there were only 2 relevant movies among the groups.

See!!!!! i told you there were a lot of out of point movies. pffffffffffft!

He complimented on the script and the resource guide. i wrote them both!!! wahahahhahaha i'm so clever. why am i slaving my life away in ECONS.

I wanna be a scriptwriter/director when i grow up :)

I was reading a blog entry, and it triggered me to think about something.

Would you want to refer yourself to others as your boyfriend's girl? (or girlfriend's boy)

Like, "hi everyone, this is brandon's girl here..."

I think it's damn weird.

I think it's worse to say, "hi everyone, this is desiree's boy here." (people who know desiree might start getting some wild ideas here but THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.)

If someone talks to me directly and says things like "hey so-and-so's girlfriend. how are you?" i think i'll slap him. it's so rude. not that i'm not proud to be so-and-so's girlfriend, it's just that I HAVE A NAME! why would i want people to know me as so-and-so's girlfriend and not by JINLING?

If brandon starts refering to himself as "jinling's boy" i think i'll roll on the floor and die laughing at him.

What do you think? hmm.

Dear all. after receiving numerous complains about the last minute IO group project (refer to the last post), my lecturer proceeded to create a 'rationale' behind this project. heres:

Story behind project:

After graduating from NUS, you join a firm that does economics consulting along with a bunch of other people with similar backgrounds. It is your first day in office and all of you arrive there at 8:30 am and are waiting in the reception area. Suddenly, I come out of the office (or am entering the office). I am a pretty senior (maybe the no. 1 guy!) in the firm. I see you all and say, "Aha, so you are the new recruits." You all politely nod and smile. I say, "Glad to have you all here." I am about to walk off when with an afterthought I stop and ask you all, "So, have you been assigned any tasks as of yet?" One of you says, "No." I pounce(!) on the opportunity and say: "Aha, well, there is a very important project that I am currently working on. I have been told that such and such paper might be useful for this project. Why don’t you all look up this paper and prepare a report on it and give it to my secretary so-and-so within the next two weeks?" [Note that I might not even tell you the exact paper but simply say the name of the author or the approximate title or approximately when it came out and where and you might have to yourself search for the paper.] One of you tries to ask: "But what exactly are we …?" However, I cut the person off much before mid-sentence with a wave and "Come on, you must have done lots of stuff like this at the University; surely you can figure out how to do this." One of you tries to ask: "But what if we have problems, can we contact you …?" again, the same result: I cut the person off much before mid-sentence with: "No, no, I will be very busy with this project and will not have time; in fact I will be flying off in 3 hours and will be back in 2 weeks only, and there is no one else working on this project; anyways, this is such a simple task, given all your economics training, surely you can figure out what to do, I surely do not need to tell you anything, else (here I start to get irritated) I could have done the thing on my own, right. Ok, then; I will see the report from you in 2 weeks when I am back. Sorry, but I need to rush now." And I flash a smile at you, wave and am gone.

AND THERE YOU ALL HAVE THE PROJECT!!!


WHAT THE EFF!!!!!!!!!!! THIS GUY IS FULL OF NONSENSICAL RUBBISH!!!!! I SWEAR HE EITHER HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO, OR IS TRYING TO REDEEM HIMSELF FOR THE STUDENT FEEDBACK. (ok not like the student feedback could do much damage to him. but whatever. rolls eyes. maybe i shall give him credit for his creativity.)

Christmas is coming! ho ho ho... can you feel it?

A lot of exciting events are coming up! besides the usual christmas caroling, BRANDON IS COMING BACK! wahaha, so good right.

No he didn't fail lah. he's coming back for vacation. damn good lah, cos he's only been there for a short while. this is the first time in many batches that thay are allowed to come home for vacation. joy to the world!!

So that means i don't have to go perth to visit him. felt a bit sad cos i wanted to go overseas wahahaha but it's ok! he can come back and eat laksa and char kway tiao instead. :D


Whee! but i tell you ah, my lecturers totally spoils every little happy moments. just when i'm looking forward to exams being over in 2 weeks...

1) My IO (industrial organisation) lecturer dropped a bomb and threw us a group project to do in 2 weeks. 6 in a group, write a report on one of the papers. no recommended content. no recommended length. 10% of grades. one of pearline's group member wants to write a 10 page thing (similar to a proper term paper which people take 1 month to complete WITHOUT having to study for finals). spoil market. grrrrrr i'm so pissed!

We decided we shall send this lecturer back to india in our student feedback.

2) My chinaman chinese history tutor marked our history essays heavily on GRAMMER. as though i'm taking a module GR1101E instead of HY2205. his main feedback to us was that singaporeans' english is very bad. our grammer is very bad. he is surprised how lousy our english is. that's why we got very low marks for the essays. not saying that chinaman got no right no say our english is bad lah, but where is the feedback for content and writing style? so next time i write history essays just make sure that my grammer is perfect isit???

Then he goes on and on about how he only picked up english when he was 26 and he got some blah award for his splendid english..... when half the people do not understand what's going on in his lectures and people even complained in the module forum.

We decided we shall send this lecturer back to china in our student feedback.

3) Ok last one. we worked our ass off the mno (management and organisation) project. it's like the THE project of the semester cos it's a video thing. besides writing the script, we had to film the thing, edit it (you have no idea how bloody difficult video editing is for us), write analysis and resource guides blahblahblah in addition to having to work in a big team of 7 people.

I'm not going to be nice and show you pictures of my group members and say that i love them a lot. some of them are nice to work with but a lot of times it's just plain frustrating. i gritted my teeth during countless meetings. some people are just too inefficient and uninitiative. they don't listen to what you say and don't ask if they didn't understand what you said and then give ideas that are just plain ******. (insert whatever word you want here) no sense! so sense! why!!!? things moved reeeeeally slowly.

They're very nice people, really. but working with them kills me man. not saying that i'm very capable but some people are obviously NOT. it was very hard trying to monitor every single thing that they were doing and i got very tired. i think i was quite domineering during the initial stages of the project but i thought at least i won't get a C in the end.

And if you look at the final videos, a lot of them were out of point. all these no sense people, i dunno how so many videos can end up out of point when there are 7 people in a group.

I guess that's how it is with team work. loads of grouses and complains but at least we are happy with the final product. i'm sure we attained one of the better scores out there.

But then even though the tutor acknowledged that there are a lot of out-of-point videos, he had to go and tell us this project is only for fun and he pretty much gave everyone about the same score. lishi's video was VERY good and professional compared to mine but i'm only 0.35 marks behind her. wah piang, i'm sure the most out of point video is only 2 or 3 marks behind me. SO BO HUA!!!! i wanna stab myself. i could have done a worst video and get only 4 marks lower than the best video while freeing up infinity time to study.

Nevermind. relax. at least i know i did a good job for this. i deserve a pat on the back.

I hate school :(

We had our KR Culture Night last week. i sang for choir and danced for krdance wahaha... quite confusing cos i had to shuttle from locations to locations and switch my costumes around... hmmm. but still managable lah. it was more fun to be playing as a confused role anyway. better than suffian!! he acted as a director in the play, who was also a ballroom dancer....! i wonder if people thought it was on purpose... but it certainly wasn't.

Cannot see me, cos i was being hidden somewhere behind. teehee.

By the way, remember my flowers?
They are now like that.

Aren't they so pretty? i dried a few nice looking stalks of flowers and bunched them together. i hope they're not breeding worms inside cos that's what my basket of flowers were doing. i discovered a mutilated worm with juices spilt out on my bedsheet. it was a mildly gory sight. it must either have commited suicide by jumping down from the basket, or lishi must have squashed it with her big bouncy sexy butt.

****Update: HELLO friends and anonymouses! babblings is perfectly fine. sometimes the stress gets to her and she loses her rationality a bit. she is very brattish, you know. she displays her resentment a lot. but it's ok :) love may be painful sometimes, but she's still a happy girl cos her pilot loves her and she loves her pilot. yay!


*************************************************************

I'm beginning to think that this is hopeless. the six floor uncles are right. sometimes love is just not enough. am i trying too hard? maybe this is just the worst time to discuss issues. i should just shuddup and pretend that everything is bright and gay for now... at least i don't screw up now. urgh! i don't wanna screw up! but i'm losing confidence in myself. i dunno what to do :'(

OK. this shall be my last ranty post about issues with you. i shall not mention anything anymore.(cos it doesn't grab your attention anyway) last night i was so pissed with you that i furiously wrote brandon sux all over my readings. wahaha. but after that i wrote i love brandon.

I just hope i can get through the next 3 weeks alive. cos it's revision for exams time. i need to be a NICER girl and stop thinking of solely my own needs. i'm too irritable. i need to meditate.

Relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
ooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

p/s That stupid song is right! i dunno why i love you. a lot of times i feel like punching you. *bish*

Idiot :(

Surprise! i am not your dog.

Or better still, your battery-operated toy that you can switch on when you feel like playing with it and off when you're tired of it.

Toys have no feelings.
