so little time so much to do

the hell period has officially begun!
the title of this post speaks for itself.

there's jus seriously so much to do.
all the good movies have already opened/are opening all within this month!
gdness.
guess watching movies r my relaxant therapy for this period.
i've caught 881 and Secret so far...
and im so glad i did.

being busy is also another reason why my blog posts have been made up of pix mainly..
ok wait. im not quite sure if busy is the right word to use..
cos sch work is not the only thing happening in my life.
besides research on sch's intranet or libraries, im either in sch (classes/proj mtgs) or at hm slogging and trying hard nt to get a headache or shoulder ache..
haha i noe.. im quite problematic! =X
watching tv, coffee, lunch or jus meet ups wif frens can be quite therapeutic as well.
my life has been revolving ard such events.

but seriously... im lost for my strategic mgmt mod.
i dun even noe how to begin writing it.
and i've got 2weeks / 14 days to complete it.
with a test just 2 days after that submission.
i really cant wait to tide over the next 3 weeks. really.
my last submission, end of sept. hasnt officially been cast in stone (wif reference to the actual doing of the assignment)
and my fellow grp mates and i have already begun panicking.
not only is global mktg a heavy mod, it is also mind boggling with tonnes of theories to apply.

in recent days, Sini and I wondered why we didnt choose HR as a major... sigh.
after doing managing change and HRM, i really wonder why.
i tink i've quite fallen in love with the whole idea of HR.
as i quote Sini: "so many orgs these days dont manage their HR properly!"
indeed. she is right.
there are many that do it well and there are countless who dont.

but anyway, back to wad i was rattling on about...
so ya. global mktg. i have presentation to prepare for as well.
not forgetting my BKK trip mid sept.
oh. i hope my BKK trip serves as a good break for me esp since its abt a mth b4 my exams.
and i hope we ballot a gd date for GM presentation! *keeping my fingers crossed*

so tnt was R&R for me cos i just finished editing and compiling managing change.
wow. my 1st compilation of my final sem.
dis is scary.
my last sem.
gdness. hw time flies.
i can still remember writing down plans and time schedules and priorities for the yr 2007 jus last dec. and now it's 4mths to Christmas! gosh i cant wait!
and that also means 4mths till end of the yr 2007 as well.
i have mixed feelings abt that tho.
as usual a thousand and 1 plans running thru my mind for the new yr ahead.
priorities, priorities... responsibilities and more responsibilities.
oh well! hang in there guys! we're growing up! and boy is it gonna be one hell of a ride! ;)

ok everyone, we must stay positive here! =)
yup!

i caught the Jay Chou movie Secret this evening with Sandy and Ah Boon.
i thot the story is nice. very romantic and touching.
tho i didnt cry as much as i did for 881.. but ya. overall the story is touching :)
thumbs up for Jay Chou on his 1st directing attempt! haa.
the story is by him as well.
cool huh? multi talented Jay Chou!
i'll post pix tmr!

tmr im attending strat mgmt class in the morn den mtg my dear Jas for lunch!
we're gonna chk out Ms Clarity at Thomson! woohoo!
i'll be sure to take pix and share my experience! haa.
after that its home to do SM!
and hopefully go for a run! i really need a good run. or a few. haha =P

hope u enjoy Corrinne May! and plssss dun forget to pass me the 1st album! -_-

two beds and a coffee machine

another ditch in the road, you keep moving
another stop sign, you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how i ever made it through...

Affirmation by Savage Garden

the following lyrics was taken from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/savagegarden/affirmation.html

i think this song completely rocks!
it hits the SPOT man.
so completely true.
pple, pls go youtube to listen to it at http://youtube.com/watch?v=QpvwxK7F2BI&mode=related&search=

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Singapore's National Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! we're 42!

if my memory serves me correctly, i got my ndp tix the 1st time i attempted to ballot for it.
lucky me! :)

guess whose familiar face i got to see! my buddy keong! :)
so nice to see him la. poor him had to be mobilised so last min. guess they really needed all the uncle police men they cud get.

the seats i had were good. cept tt i cudnt quite c the planes & the 3D dynamic defense display properly...

got to the marina bay floating platform at ard 5pm. collected the goodie bags and went in search for seats. didnt get much of a choice bcos ushers wud tell u where to go n dere was police everywhere. their presence was quite intimidating.

overall it was a really cool concept. i applaud them for great effort and time spent into making this event so successful.
the fireworks were really beautiful.

at the end of the evening, the show ended ard 8.30pm.
by the time i walked back to city hall (raffles city) was ard 9.20pm.
it was one of the most traumatizing walks in my life.
the horde of pple was jus tooooo overwhelming man.
felt so sick and claustrophobic. gross man.
how ugly can singaporeans be sometimes man.
wads worst is they just got out of celebrating spore's bday.
so dumb. was so irritated man. all the pushing n shoving.
everything rolled into one was jus wrong.

however, somehow, it just wasnt ideal.

Corrinne May Concert - 030807

it was purely random (by chance) that i casually asked Lucas on MSN if he wud be interested to catch Corrinne May's concert with me.
and he kidnly agreed =)
thanks buddy!

well.. guess we're both quite the music pple..
SUPPORT LOCAL TALENT! haha.
she's really really good.
i was tearing & sobbing half the time throughout the concert.
her music and lyrics are just wayyy too touching for me to handle.
every word has a special meaning.

i cant wait to get my hands on her newest album! Beautiful Seed!
guys, u have to get it.
it's really really good. really.

all these yrs, i feel that her music has touched me so much.
it gave me a new feeling.
it somehow made me more positive.
if i had the chance to get her cd that day and get her autograph, i swear i wud hv told her what a great impact her music has created in my life.
its sooo amazing.
she's like heaven-sent.

im so glad i made it to this concert.
i didnt manage to get the tix to her previous... so this is grt.
and esp since my entire friday was so crazy.
i tink i've nvr made and received more calls in one day!
sry Lucas u didnt get much of my attention... haha =P

so friday came and went,
saturday (040807) at 0840hrs i arrived at riverview hotel (spore) to meet George, to take 4 Greek pax on a half day city tour. from 9am to 1pm.
it was fruitful :) thank god for the good weather too.
small grps r so much better to deal wif den large ones.
2 pairs of honey moon couples. how sweet rite! :)
yup.. so George is a greek rep who is relatively young..
he has no idea hw to lead a tour, so lucky him, dis is small.
the last time, grp of 14, his mum was so pro la! haha.
he told me she was so scared! but she really didnt seem one bit at all.
she seemed so well-prepared! :)
job well done to both of dem! for first-timers!
his mum cudnt do dis tour bcos she was away on a holiday. so she got her son to do it instead.. cos Fanis needed someone who cud speak Greek.
indeed. i dun understand a word of wad they say!
haha. but i tink its sooo cool.
greeks! haa. whn i tink of greeks, i tink of spartans! hurhur..

so after tour-leading i headed home to prepare for reading at church.
tt went fine as well. altho i knew i'd fall aslp during homily.
gosh. so embarassing. imagine a lector falling aslp during mass! :(
sry God, i was really tired.

the past few days my neck and back has been aching like crap! its nt funny man.
and of all times, my jaw has to act up too.
i feel like i've been in a fight, whereby i hv injuries all over tt kind..
heh.
siansation mannnnn! but no choice la! it's part n parcel of growing up! =)
