another 3 down !!!!

i had the ultimate presentation marathon today, 3 in a row. beat that, hon !
im glad its over but i think the retail project is screwed. seriously, i've never felt so disappointed with presentation before. you know what's the worse thing abt the whole retail module. i've failed the first retail test and if the marks for this report&ppt is fucked-up, then im doomed for this module.
sometimes i just wonder why I'm fighting so hard for everything, would my life be easier if I'm more laidback instead. i dont even know what i'm going to do/go after this diploma thing.
let's assume i'm so lucky to get my fat ass into a university and i struggle for a few more years for that god-damn degree that almost everyone on the street has. Then I'm out working and I struggle further to climb up the coporate ladder and fight off all the office politics.
Do i really want to do that and when I'm really there, is that what i really want ? I want not just monetary benefit but something that I really love doing(which i have yet to discover), something that give me satisfaction.
I know im being pessimistic for painting such a bleak picture and I know there are the good and bad in life. but sad to say in the materialistic world, the good in life comes with an expensive price tag.

i saw this quote somewhere by some Steven-guy :
Most people spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to realize, when they get to the top, the ladder has been leaning against the wrong wall.
It just got me pondering, what wall is my ladder leaning against and what wall do I want my ladder to lean against?
i know it's too late to be thinking about this, but this whole paragraph I've wrote has got me thinking way too many times. and you know what, i have yet to give myself an answer. I just hope I know what I want soon enough, life is too short to be wasting away precious time.

au revoir
peipei

p.s. more report and brainstorming to be done. yeah, i know.

retail ppt re-scheduled!!!!!

YYESSS YES YES !!!!
retail presentation tmr is re-scheduled because teacher is too sick to be around to listen to us present our intellectual slides.
I think i'm kind of psychotic to be so happy but presentation cancelled means lecture cancelled and that means we got more time to work on other more pressing project deadline like ICCS and HRL.
eugghh, sickening i know.
marketing for hospitality presentation&report is done and over with today. haha, one down ! i hope the presentation was good and hopefully we managed to impress mr.pang who looks so serious and analytic throughout the presentation.
im trying to think of what's over and not to remind myself too much of so much more shit that are not completed. im seriously drained and exhausted, mentally and physically. i wonder if i can get through the exams period. eugghh

need to get back to continue writing my report .

au revoir
peipei

p.s. brazil v.s. SIN (3:nil) seriously, what's the point

i'll never trade my friends for anything else.


EIE camp - 12th to 13th July










Meetup with weijie - 17th July ((:


Firstly, congratz to weijie because he is finally a NAFA fashion design student after all the adversity he've been through. anyway, met up with him after he finished his registration then we headed down to arab street. my idea to go there because that place never fails to amaze me with everything. the architecture, the things, the price, the people and the food. i think it is a place with plenty of character and which is seldom unveiled. well, it beats going to the mall all the time.

this was one of the design on display done by a final yr nafa student. i thought it was really futuristic and i do like the design. hmm, is it on sale?





check out the cowboy hat, weijie's latest buys. i think it looks good and i kind of regret not getting it. pretty affordable too.

old school loves. i was reminiscing with weijie abt pri.sch when i saw these things. remind me of those good old days when life is so much simpler and when i had to argue over everything with weijie. even the most mundane and silly things. (weijie: i swear i will show you all the childish letter/note we've wrote)


EARRING EARRING !!!! I swear i was going ga-ga over these earring. they are so pretty but kind of exp. sry if the pic doesnt do justice to the earring.





then i suddenly had a strong craving for rojak so we headed over to the food court at Raffles hospital and we decided to get another plate of popiah when we saw it. so impromtu ! but i swear it was freaking good !







then we walked and walked to bugis junction, stayed for awhile and then walked again to The Cathay. stayed at the bookstore and both of us were hooked on to a book. i think we stayed there for like an hour reading it

anyway, prepare yourself because i had tons of cam-whore pics as usual :))







i love me bear !!!








there are more but im lazy to post, my eyebags can seriously make do with some good photoshop. it was an awesome day out and let's meetup really soon again, alright ? maybe during mine and shinyee hols. anyway, weijie and shinyee are my primary school best-mates. known each other for about 12 years and it's still counting !!!!

got to go back to report and presentation prep now.

peipei <3

HALLELUYA !!!!!!


i have this beautiful tune that keeps playing in my head and im playing it on WMP now.


"You know I can't smile without you.
I can't smile without you.
I cant' laugh and I can't walk, finding it hard even to talk.

And I feel sad when you're sad.
I feel gland when your glad.
And you must know what I'm going through, I just can't smile without you.

You came along just like a song you brightened my days.
Who'd believe you were part of a dream that always seemed light years away...."


if you're a love song fanatic like me, you would have known what song this is. For those who doesnt know better, it's "Can't Smile Without You" by Barry Manilow. ohhh, i want to fall in love each time i hear songs like this, they really get my heart fluttering, you'all know !
i prefer love ballad more than any hip-hop or rap, so my songs are always old compilation of love songs. i have alot of other favourites but HellBoy2 reminded me of this beautiful song again.
anyway, i watched Hellboy2 tdy after a day of work which basically constitute of doing nothing and i get $70 for no reason. easy money!

meeting bitches&all tmr, LIKE FINALLY !! then got to meet for PROJECT !!! rrahhhhh
oh oh, and i met up with weijie on thurs, awesome day out.

i want to hit the sack now, so photos shall wait.

au revoir
peipei :))

when you stereotype, you end up discriminating and that's racism


back from the 2D1N residential camp for exploration in ethnicity. I'm glad i went because it was pretty interesting and it really set me thinking about racism issues, teamwork, support and communication. it may sound a little too cliche but it's true and the great thing is I made another new bunch of friends.

i shall further elaborate on the camp when pics comes in. for now, i shall post pics taken on tuesday during the retail tradeshow at suntec convention centre.







check out or sore feet, i wonder how we're gonna work in heels in future.

if you remember, i mentioned watching Red Cliff on fri and i think that show is awesome. it's talking about events particularly "The Battle of the Red Cliff" during the three kingdom period in ancient china. even though it sort of kill my mood because there is part2 and it ended on abruptly and im dying to watch the next part now. thanks Thomas and tyng who had to explain the china hist to me and all the ancient idioms which they used. hahaha, i must have been really irritating but everything is good!

alright. that's all for this post, just came out of the shower smelling scent of sandalwood instead of sweat and smell from camp. im tired, mosquito bits are itching me and i got my marketing tutorial to do and project to compile/ edit. i need more time, i haven't even meet andrea, amber and farouk, meeting weijie on thurs, cant wait !

this week can't get any worse (okay, it's already the last day of the week). just completed my FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT ICA2 and damn it, IM SO SCREWED !!!! SERIOUSLY SCREWED ! the title is disgusing enough, accounting makes me want to barf, what more with financial shit. uggghhh, im getting dizzy.
i dont even know what i was doing for the past 45 minutes when i was there.

i feel such a strong urge to blog because i can't going around swearing at others .
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck !!!


in ICT lecture now, teacher is talking about some casino and slot machine shit. whatever!

i cant wait to go watch "Red Cliff" later. it looks good though, okay thomas said that. but i think it should be nice. i just want to watch something so i wont be reminded of how i am going to flunk my fma ica.

hope this weekend will be good. going for some exploration in ethincity camp this weekend and i hope it will be fun. so i wont be home this weekend, hehe !

thomas is trying to very hard to peek at what i am typing instead of waiting till i've publish the post. and he's irritating me !

au revoir

what a LOVELY day !


i had the best sleep i've ever had, a total of 11 hrs. hahahah, what a pig. after a lazy stretch and wash-up, i went about watching television surfing the channel before i settled on discovery travel and living, globe trekker with Ian Wright. he was at korea today and he went to the DMZ, certainly a sight there.(andrea, i know which fake city you're refering to that time)
anyway that's like the the best channel i can ever wished for. food, travel and all the fine shit in life.

TOP 5 favourite show:

  1. passport to europe/latin america (hosted by my fav journalist ever, samantha brown )
  2. Nigella Cookshow (she makes me drool, her food i mean)
  3. Party Planner by David Tutera (i'm always awed when i watch him work his brains to plan the party, fantastic)
  4. Runway Mom
  5. Not your average travel guide

those are my fav show. they have alot of other great one like Jamie at home and a new series of Fun Asia(by:Janet Hsieh) is coming up too. This channel works like magic when you want to broaden your horizons and it definitely brings me to all part of the world, seated just at my own home. obviously i wished i could be there to see it for myself.

so after globe trekker, i switched to starworld and they were playing FRIENDS, series 8. it's great fun to watch the show again. rachael is still hot, ross and phoebe makes me wanna laugh.

now, im stuck with my school work. I've completed my exec summary for hrl, PEST for macro and i'm stuck with the targeting. My brain is too exhausted so here im blogging. How glad i am that i went swimming yesterday with Fiona, finally working out my muscles and burning some calories, maybe.

tmr is youth day but school is being a bitch by not giving us a holiday. i've got to go back to type my report now so i can watch shows ltr at night. chn 56 is coming up with great drama: They kiss again(this is like part two and hahaha, i hope my boyfriend is as perfect as the male lead) and The man at the vineyard(korean). woooohhh, love drama and shows to maxxx, it just takes me to another place. away from reality, away from my pilling assignment and responsibility...

summer love


the week has finally come to an end, time seems to pass by so quickly and it's going to be another week again. another vicious cycle of assignment, projects and test again when weekend comes to an end. everything seems to be going haywire for me. first i failed my retail test and my love life is taking a turn for the bad(well, it has never been good).

i always imagined every stage of my life to be perfect and 18 should be a number worth celebrating where everything should be at it's best. but still i worry about work everyday and how bleak and uncertain my future seems.

Also isn't it disheartening to watch everyone's love life starting to fall into place whereby you still remain status quo having your feeling unreciprocated . maybe i wasnt brave enough to pursue what could have been mine so here here i am watching someone else reaping what they've sow. maybe it just isnt destined, uh huh. I'll get over it some how.

weekend here = timeout from school so i can catch up on school work and project. I'm beginning to turn on the "EXAMS MODE" because i feel like there are so many things to study and memorise for and i have so little time. arrgghhh. am i the only one feeling this way ? it's so awful to be rushing for everything, and missing out the good things in life. i hope that i wont be having to recall about how i rushed out my work when I'm 18, with no beautiful memories to speak of 10 years ltr.

I want to meet up with all my friends.
I want to bake a really gorgeous cake which i saw on my newly-accquired recipe book.
I want to travel to so many places.
I want to watch all the movies which i have.
I want to revamp my wardrobe with new clothes but before that i need cash so I want to have a job too. One that pays alot but not so tedious.
I want to have all my wants.

bitchface is off to Bangkok with farouk. i think their plane should have landed if there isn't any delay. i hope they remember to bring back what i requested for because there is nothing else but nice&new things to lift my mood.

alright. I'm seriously in a crappy mood this week so i apologize for having to make you go through such a post. But everyone need a avenue to pour our their feeling, so here I'm doing so.
