soul search

if there was one thing i noticed, my social life went downhill after going through an immense 6 weeks. everything to me was work, work and more work. i’m not complaining, because i came out stronger!

here’s what my little brother said when i asked him what’s his plan for tomorrow:
wake up, bathe, survive, come home, sleep

although he was being sarcastic (and irritating), i found myself doing exactly that each day. and i made it through not because of my own efforts, but because of the people around me

some of them include my project group mates: yuhan, weiting and hong loon. they’re partially the reason why i’m struggling and surviving each day. editing their work is… :x

the last project that i worked with them for this semester was marketing! we had to draw lots to determine when we were going up to present


and yay! like we wanted, we went last!

our team presented on Old Town White Coffee. we went the extra mile by going down to one of their outlets, try out their food, conduct surveys and much more. it did burn a hole in my pocket (their food aren’t cheap!)

but! what satisfies me the most is when your tutor purchases the product you presented in class!

OLD TOWN SHOULD BE PAYING US FOR PROMOTING THEIR BRAND!!!

what an awesome way to end the semester yeah? :)

after our marketing presentation, i had to rush down to the scholarship ceremony. many of my friends received their scholarships!


meihua getting her scholarship. congrats mei! :)

there were many people whom i knew that received a scholarship! but! i didn’t take a photo with them OR they didn’t tag me in the photo. what can i do? :P

it’s really been a tough journey this semester. i’ve had many challenges, go through shit and put my health at risk. but hey! i wouldn’t have learnt anything if i didn’t step out of my comfort zone yeah? :)

ideawerkz’s wii love mario

I’m not sure if you’ve heard me say this before, but Ideawerkz means something more to me. It is a privilege to be part of this initiative of the school. i guess the whole thing allows me to exercise my creativity and putting my mind to go use :D

i can’t forget the awesome people i get to work with!

It was the Business Arts and Media month for Ideawerkz for july! The advocates worked together on a project called “Wii Love Mario”

the arts team had to work together to paint super mario images on cardboard!


as I had the SIM Business challenge, projects and this ideawerkz project to cope with, it was definitely a tough week of preparations for me. but hey! my special thanks to mr sks for allowing us to stay at the loft mid-way during that week!


when all of our work are placed together, we all felt a sense of relief (and achievement!)

although this semester has been really harsh on me, ideawerkz has never failed to put a smile on my face. maybe it’s because i love to innovate! :D

i wanna thank EVERY advocate that helped made this event a success :)

migraine

i know i haven’t been blogging much lately. in fact, it’s been almost 20 days since i last had a proper post. but i assure you: i’ve got plans for a few blog posts. i’m thinking of coming up with a little series to let you people have a sneak peek of what i went through for the past 2 months

SIM Competition…Ideawerkz…Ambassadors…Projects…insanity…chaos!

That’s pretty much a summary. i’ll elaborate more in the coming days :)

anyhow, i went down with a migraine this afternoon. it’s really scary because it was so sudden (and so painful too!) but if there are any things i’ve learnt:

1. life is super fragile: you might just faint anytime, anywhere; unexpectedly
2. there will always be friends around you: you don’t have to fight a battle on your own
3. rest, breakfast/lunch/dinners and exercise is very very important: we need to strike a balance!

i haven’t been managing my life properly. late nights, working my ass off on projects etc. it’s been really bad for my body. i’m really thankful that the study break is finally here! :D

i’ll be back soon :)

jewel of muscat

committing a saturday afternoon, which i normally spend by spending time with my beloved bed, to a event that had little or no significance to me made me think twice about attending the event.

i’ve been having commitment issues (which, sadly, i’m still experiencing em’) for the past few weeks and if i felt that my time wasn’t worth it: the sensation of regret would overwhelm my mind, body and soul :\

thankfully, it wasn’t the case :D

while the jewel of muscat has received numerous media attention, i need not elaborate more about it. but what really made my day was spending my time with friends (i made some new friends too hehe)


we even got to take a photo with minister george yeo :D

thanks for making my day so awesome :D

after the event concluded, i headed to my dad’s office to catch the match between germany and argentina. it was a match that i was looking forward to for quite some time. and it also took me some saliva to tell people why germany was the better side

thank god the results, itself, proved me right :D

go germany! i wanna try the drinks y’all make one day hehe
