They said CRAP.

So ridiculous.

During my project meeting this evening, my friends were saying our dear Minister said this before:

” Assuming that all graduates are intelligent, graduates should only marry graduates.” So that intelligent genes can developed to its fullest potential.

Hellooooo… SUPERFICIAL.

And i really can sense some discrimination here, towards people who graduate from diplomas and ITEs. Yes, human resource is our wealth and because of that, intelligence matters a lot but it doesnt mean intelligence will solve everything right. Compromise integrity cos of intelligence? Or intelligence vs hardworking?

I dont like this idea.

Another one came from my SUPERFICIAL classmates in SMU:

“Lateral progression in one’s career cannot earn alot of money as compared to vertical progression.”

That was in the context of doing something that u dislike but earns alot of money as compared to doing something that you really want but not earning alot of money. See? This is the type of students SMU strives to produce. The freaking entire school wants to go into Banking OR finance because thats where all the $$$$$ is. But didnt the banking model failed? And financial companies are thinking twice before they wanna hire new people? I still see alot of people in my school literally dying to go into finance sector.

I dunno lah, seriously. Im never involved in fighting to be on the dean’s list or more than 4.0 GPA. This GPA thing hardly comes into my mind. I never join any school activities for 4 years. I always want my meetings to chop chop and end. And worst of all, i hardly step into the so-called 2nd home of SMU-ians—The library. People can really camp in the library when its near to exams. Ever since i do MDS, I just rush to school, finishing my business work while attending class, rush off after class and continue my work. Thats my school life. Its vastly different from all other SMU-ians. I dont have a campus life. Haha. But i dont regret it. I mean, how come someone’s life, at the age of 23, ONLY revolves GPA and nothing else?! At least 80% of SMU ppl are like that. “Oh no, i cant get A+ for this module…im going to appeal!” This is a common sentence i hear in school that really turns me off. Like c’mon, get a life. When u go out and work, grades dont matter AT ALL. Almost all the things u learnt in school cannot be applied to the real world. Because it is just NOT THE REAL WORLD. Well, i dont know if im right, but modules like Management Science is torturing and useless. I cant believe im wasting my important and hectic Mondays just to go for this class. Argh.

And did i mention before that i hate some proud individuals in my school who thinks they are damn bloody intelligent, capable and successful?!! Even before they stepped into the society and work! Its damn crap lah. Just because u are in SMU doesnt equate to you being so high up there as compared to other people. Especially some guys, they are soo full of themselves and think they know every god damn thing in the world. But actually, they know nothing and just completely display how eager they want to prove themselves and how big their ego is. So competitive, always wanna win, but in the wrong context.

Aiyah, if i wanna complain about my school, i think i have to blog the whole night.

Yeah. Im quite negative towards SMU. I just dunno why. Maybe cos i feel like its wasting alot of my time and a hindrance to my career progress.

A New Chapter (Part 2)

My current state of mood: STRESSED yet EXCITED.

Its one of my major projects for MDS. Opening up a boutique on our own. The office migration decision was also one of the major milestones for the company this year. We pondered over the opening of our own boutique over and over again for months before we finally made up our mind when we were told we cant renew our listing contract @ No. 34. Along with this chapter, came my bigger responsibility and drive to make this work. We worked so hard to get our products listed in 34, and now that we cant renew our contract, should we just “disappear” tentatively?

How can i disappoint tons of customers who always wanna try out our apparels at the shop every time we launch a new collection online? How can i take away their shopping privilege? Shopping is therapeutic for me. So i understand that not everyone loves to shop online, there are still some girls out there who prefer feeling the apparel fabric and seeing the real dress in person before deciding to buy. Hence this decision to get a unit ourselves.

Its a new chapter for MDS. A fresh new start and definitely an exciting journey for us. Everyone at MDS. The company doesnt belong to me alone, it belongs to everyone who works at MDS, be it part-timers, full-timers, etc. Its never a one-man show, as much as people think it is. Im always being labeled as “That MDS girl…blah.” Sian. Im not a superwoman, i can never make MDS what it is now without others. Especially when i still have to stay committed to my studies at SMU. It makes things even harder. Sometimes, as much as i wanna progress ahead, studies slow me down. Its quite annoying and helpless.

Anyways, the boutique announcement is already out on the website. First of all, i love the homepage designed by him. The pink shade IS EXACTLY the same as the paint in the boutique!! I love this shade of pink, specially chosen and painted by me. MDS always introduces many first time experiences into my life. Its my first time painting and climbing a ladder!!!!

Paint with LOVE. Raw state of the boutique. BEFORE:

Working very hard…

Engrossed in painting. I painted the entire patch of PINK ok. Love the shade! But i seriously hate climbing ladder, its so wobbly and unstable.

This area here will be the 2 fitting rooms.

Thats all for my boutique update. I will post photos of the finished state nearer to the opening. Hopefully everything will go smoothly for us.

I haven drive my Latio at all. Its so damn difficult to recognize directions in Singapore, some of the roads are plain retarded. Today is JM’s 2nd day driving the car and we lost our direction 2 times in 1 day. Its frustrating. I threw my temper at him because my project mates were rushing me to hand in my work. And to make things worse, he got lost and we overshot all the way to Marina South when we were supposed to exit Rochor Road. In the end, he told me he will mug the street directory before he drive again. HAHA.

A new chapter

Nails session with Eunice @ Far East Charme:

We love the place cos their service is GOOD yet EFFICIENT. So the skills are not compromised just because they are fast.

After reviving our nails(we always feel revived after pampering our nails), we went to Bakers’ Inn for dinner.

Anyways, i wanna mentioned that i bought this black dress @ Dorothy Perkins for only 29 bucks okay!! Its a pretty dress with zip at the back, love the ruffles!!

Some random dinner with JM @ Manhattan Fish Market(Cheaper than Fish & Co) but i feel its not as tasty.

Last week was quite a significant week. On just one sunday alone, me & JM made 2 BIG DECISIONS. Not to get married, of course. Not yet. But to get a car & something else. That something else, i will officially announce once i settle all everything. But its freaking exciting!!! Its coming very soon so the anxiety and stress were really building up these few days.

But anyways, the car is cheap and nice. Haha, i can finally save on my heavy transport costs every month and say bye bye to cabs! No more feeling nauseous cos the uncle stepped on the brakes so hard, no more waiting so long for a cab and end up being late for my appointments, best of all, no more sky-high cab fares!!! HURRAY!

The car is not exactly what i expect or want, because i wanted to get a white nissan march but my entire family + JM were against it cos he’s paying part of the car and driving it, and looking at his size, its damn cartoon to see him in a march. HAHA. My mum said i shouldnt get a car that no one wanna drive and my back passengers have to squeeze like mad. So thats how i ended up with a latio. I love the interior cos its spacious and quite luxurious too. The exterior silver color…im pretty alright with it. But the cleaning part, i will leave it to my car experts at home and my bf to do the job. Haha.

After settling the car, we were stuck @ Haji Lane for 3 hours cos of some stupid person who was damn late and the heavy rain.

Plain Annoying

Have you ever met a bunch of annoying people that cause you to go hysterical but at the same time, you just cant do anything about it? Like no matter what, you have to keep your lips sealed and maintain your image and reputation? ITS DAMN ANNOYING AND IRRITATING LAR.

ARGH. Plain annoying.

Some people are just so full of themselves but never spend a minute looking at themselves in front of the mirror and see how wicked their words can be or how big their mouths are. I seriously hate this kinda people. Pls la, before you open your mouth and criticize other people, are you pretty yourself?!

Just like how one of my models told me about her friends correcting her poses on mdscollections website and say how she should pose, etc. Or how come always pose the same?! But yet, never bother encouraging and complimenting their dear fren for working so hard and all. I realize that jealousy amongst girls can really be so complicated and evil. I dont understand why between good friends, we have to feel jealous over our girlfriend’s achievements and feel sour. Sighs. Be gracious lah. Whats there to be jealous about? Im absolutely okay with giving praises and envying people around me in terms of their height(cos im damn petite), their good figures(cos mine is not good), their asymmetrical face(cos mine is apple shape) and many more. I dont really care cos i know my bf appreciates me, my personality and looks, my family, my dog and everything good and bad about me. I dont know why girls like to be jealous over minute things.

That was my lucky day.

I was worried over the entire semester break. 7 days of undue and endless worrying. That i would fail my mid term Management Science paper.

And JUST YESTERDAY, I GOT BACK MY PAPER. I was already sian halfway when Prof said, “This time, you all didnt do as well as i expected it.” But in the end, i got 36 out of 50!!!! YAY!! Its not fantastic or flying colors results, but at least i managed to scrap through quite a bit!! The class average is 39, but who cares. As long as i dun fail any of my papers and average is B im happy already. I didnt mug alot for this subject because im quite lost with it. Numbers pertaining to problem solving doesnt make any logic or sense to me. And with mds staff shortage problem, i got so much work piling on my desk so to me, its quite an achievement already! It calls for a celebration, isnt it?

Anyways, i received a small gift from Ting. So sweet of her, i almost teared reading her letter. She left a car signboard in my postbox that says, “Pampered Princess on board.” She said she saw it and thought of me immediately, thats why she bought it for me! It came just right in time because im getting a car for me & JM soon. Actually, i have been searching for it for 2 weeks but i still didnt see any car to my fancy yet. And especially when my dad is so damn fussy, want low mileage, nice car plate, low asking price, nice car body, sports rim, etc. How to find?! I dunno if the car is gonna be a huge burden on my pockets and JM’s too. Sian. Maybe taking cab is better? But my monthly cab fare amounts up to $600!! Thats why buying a car seems to be quite a feasible solution at this time.

As for my fake lashes, haha i convinced 3 people to do their lashes! Oops. But i removed it already. Because its making my eye area a bit dry which i dunno why. Maybe cos i cant splash too much water on my face. The dry patch really irritates me so much that i gotta remove it. The removing process is painful. But i guess, 2 weeks of hassle free is still worth it. Shucks. I think im really addicted to false lashes. Right after i removed my lashes, i went to buy fake lash from Shu Uemura. Its good! At least i find it quite easy to put it on. And i can use the lashes for 10 times before it goes into my thrash bin. This is how it looks like($50 for everything, worth it ? ):

I realized i have something for white apparels lately…:)

BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA MOVIE by Walt Disney:

Go watch this movie! I’ll be the first to catch it man! The box office for this movie in US actually triumphs Leonardo Dicarprio’s movie okay. Haha. CHHs are like an icon now, cant believe that there’s people who actually want to invest millions of dollars on it. I hope chh wont become a common breed of dog that everybody wants to own. Haha, im selfish. Just like how chh are selfish too. Since im on this topic, i went to research about chh quite a while ago because i was worried about Vicky’s lifespan after my dad’s GR passed away at only 3 years old. Apparently, CHH has a longer lifespan than bigger dogs from 8 to 20 years old. And luckily, they dont have any genetic diseases from their ancestors like how GR is more prone to cancers. The only thing i have to be wary about is my dog’s diet, cos she might grow too fat for her tiny twig like legs to support. Hah. Ahh, i love my dog.

DAMN CUTE LAR!!!! Its ALL CHIHUAHUAS.

Vicky wanting to eat the sushi JM made for me.

Peeves

I boycott imitations.

Hate them. Really not my cup of tea. Especially when the imitated good is SO FAR OFF from the real thing.

I dunno why but it gets on my nerves.

I saw this on LV’s website. ITS DAMN PRETTY LEH. Made of suhaligoatskin leather. Recently there seem to be an increasing trend of brands using goatskin leather instead of calf leather. Ahh, its still pretty anyways.

Art Auction Event

I volunteered to help out at this art auction held by Lyke Team to help children with autism at Saint Andrew’s Centre. I think its a really meaningful and heartwarming event, especially during the auction day itself where the artworks are being sold or auctioned to raise funds for this organization. They didnt choose to be born with it, but autistic kids need much more attention than anyone else. Like this kid that went hysterical in the midst of the auction ran around the entire arts house and shouting. For what reason, none of us know. But we really felt pity for this young talented boy who’s really good at painting. His work is awesome. And almost magical.

Look at his art piece(I really felt like bidding for it but im broke! So i donated $150 haha):

And some other art pieces:

View of Singapore Arts House:

Catalog i did for them:

Anyways, i was really glad to be part of the team. Even if im just doing visuals, its also good enough. I cant really squeeze out extra time to do more. So visuals was good because its flexible hours and Eunice gave me one of the nicest position to work as during the auction day! RECEPTIONIST. Haha. I love being receptionist, cos i can get to see every single person who turned up at the auction.

This was my table. I just sat there and took photos with friends the whole time! haha.

After the auction…photowhoring at backstage:

Me & Von:

Me & Eunice(Look at her hair…its damn long and nice! She damn idiot psycho me to do my lashes just like hers. So i went. ):

I did a mini photoshoot yesterday night. I quite like my lashes but find it a bit unnatural. Well…should be removing 2 weeks later. Haha. A little preview to my lashes
