it's such a happy day today! i usually dread wednesdays cuz the lesson ends at six thirty!! gosh!! but today is just sooo cool! i cant help but to love today! *muackz*!! =D

ok. financial management seminar. bah. my tutor droned on today again. but still manageable (i guess i got used to his teaching style and tone.. dotx!). the fm assignment was also done, so my 1st 3 hrs in class was fine.

after class, we checked out the nbs week -- rapture day 3! lol... we were attracted by the free lunches, $4 movie tix passes and.. the goodie bag!! we didnt get the free zinger burger from kfc cuz the queue was real long... so we decided to just walk ard the booth and check out the goodie bag queue instead.

and so... along our way to figure out what's going on ard the booth, this mascot (a supposedly street-style, spunky and short [oops!] thingy with 3 strands of erm.. "hair") tapped on my shoulders! i was amused by tt strange looking mascot (cuz it aint cute nor its funky), and i just looked, smiled and turned away, continuing to figure out with my friends where to get goodie bags (u dun hv to know my obssession with freebies! lol) then tt thingy tried to be entertaining.. (i also duno what he/she's doing tho.) he/she persisted to get my attention! then this girl came, supposedly the "spokesperson" for the mascot (the mascot is wearing a big head gear under the hot sun). and according to the spokesperson, he/she is trying to be frens (?!) with me! haha! then guess what i did, i just whacked the poor mascot! lol! violent inclinations. we almost ended up fighting.. (ok.. tt's abit exaggerated.) she said the mascot wanted to take photo with me. lol! my frens were like so hesitant to take pic together, so i took some time to draggg my frens into the pic with tt strangly looking mascot! lol... after the "pic taking session", the mascot and i "reconciled" with a handshake. so funny right! lol. im still so amused by it!

after tt mini adventure, we figured out the area to collect goodie bags. and. haha. apparently no one dare to queue ar. before us were like only two or three ppl. (and shortly after we queue, the queue grew longer.. and longer! haha!!) so in the midst of queuing for goodie bag, we got ourselves some nice nbs ring files too! cool! =)

well, while waiting to get the goodie bag, we were actually standing at a very good spot where we could gawk at proj superstar finalists! leon, chanel, sugi, william and sandra! ooh! heard them singing quite a few songs. when it was leon's turn to sing solo, lol, cameras, camera phones everywhere! *snap snap snap* and obviously with my perfect spot, i used my fren's hp to snap quite abit of their pictures. lol. overall not too bad, just tt chanel's performance was a tad disappointing. perhaps she was too engrossed to get the spirits up tt she sang quite abit of off-keys. hmmm.

then was the fear for organisational behaviour class. cuz there's this individual presentation thingy where 3 students would be randomly chosen to share their insights with the class. so stressed! i didnt prepare much. and i was sooo scared i'd be called upon. well, someone must have heard my prayers. i wasnt call upon to present! phew. but i promise to prepare well enough for the next presentation (tt is for the one after the CNY week)

after tt, i was soo relieved! felt so perky even tho i had to meet poh bow bee for movie right after my ob class! watched memoirs of the geisha. perhaps i expected too much from the movie. didnt captivate tt much as i thought it would. but 2 things i was very impressed with. (1) gong li (hatsumomo). her acting was stunning. i gasped at how she played the role so well. (2) the young girl (young sayuri) she is sooo gorgeous. haha. and she acted pretty well too! =)

such a good day! haha. ive blogged long enough. hv fun reading. =)

its tiring. i dread the start of the week. it's when the whole process starts alllll over again.

tutorials.
print notes.
prepare for class presentations.
prepare for next week's tutorials... rarr

i hardly find quality time to shop for CNY. and now... i have squeeze some time from the week to do some last minute shopping! pathetic. and apparently no one is free to shop with me! im sooo going to be a loner shopper. sigh.

some of the more interesting stuff:

• warmest wishes to huili and ian! =) may both of u bask in blissfulness everyday! =)
• organisational behaviour class: did some personality tests... one of which is the MBTI ( http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html ). so, in theory, im supposed to be as follows:

" Dominant Introvert Feeling

Usually gentle and kind, they are intense and passionate about their values and deeply held beliefs, which they share with trusted friends. Because of their discreet manner, their enthusiasm may not be apparent. They are sensitive to others' pain, restlessness or general discomfort and strive to find happiness, balance and wholeness for themselves in order to help others find joy, satisfaction and plenitude. They are deeply empathetic.
They live life in an intently personal fashion, acting on the belief that each person is unique and that social norms are to be respected only if they do not hinder personal development or expression. They strive to adhere to their own high personal moral standards and are particularly sensitive to inconsistencies in their environment between what is being said and what is being done. Empty promises of adhering to something they value – such as environmental causes or human rights - set off an inner alarm and they may transform themselves into modern day Joan of Arcs.

They are quietly persistent in raising awareness of cherished causes and often fight for the underdog in quiet or not-so-quiet ways. In a team, they will raise issues of integrity, authenticity, and good or bad, and may to opt out if the team refuses to address the questions raised.

They are usually tolerant and open-minded, insightful, flexible and understanding. They live for the understanding of others and feel deeply grateful when someone takes the time to get to know them personally. They have good listening skills, are genuinely concerned, insightful, and usually avid readers. At their best, they inspire others to be themselves."

how true do u think it describes me? lol...

• random thought tt struck me: i wish i can find someone who is willing to towel my hair dry =) (before u "huh?!" me.. i'll explain why) i'd love this sort of feeling. not tt sort of neighbourhood salons where they just scruffle ur hair dry. hmm. dun u think it feels good to have someone who cautiously tug ur hair behind ur ears, then gently towel ur hair... wow.. so loved and pampered! haha... alright. ignore me.
• .... ok, i tried to think of interesting stuff u might want to know. but. hur. my life is so boring now. not much excitement. bahhhh.

tt's abt it..

i am feeling that sudden surge of melancholia within me.

im just sad. and that sort of "sadness" element has been lingering around me for days. it's hurting me so much. causing all my sleepless nights. i have no idea what's happening to me. i just cant sleep! imagine me saying that. im wondering if it's the weather.. or it is just me. 2+ am. i lie on the bed. toss and turn.. force myself to close my eyes to sleep. dotx. generally it didnt work. i end up waking up at unearthly hours like 3am.. then 5am.. then 7am. the alarm clock rings. so much for sleeping. haha.

i know im a think-a-lot. but.. i feel tt ive been thinking too much lately. there's just so much stored in my brain. and more than often, they are stuffs that are non-academic. (like duh..) rarr! shujuan! what do you think you are doing?! gosh.. im so tired.

i attended my first general elective lecture/tutorial today. some creative design in communication and marketing module.. (haha.. i refered to my timetable for the name of the module.) all i can remember is GD02. that's the capacity of useful information that i can store. hurx.. anyway.. actually i was quite interested in this module.. the stuff that we can learn there sounds useful. but i was feeling a bit wavered when i stepped into the lecture hall. it just struck me that i dont know anyone taking the same course as me. i saw good friends streaming into the LT.. and here, me alone, trying to be brave amongst the faces of strangers. to make things worse, when the prof gave us the course outline, it turns out tt there are GROUP proj (note that it isnt the proj tt's daunting, it's the 3 in a group tt's terrorising).. the thought of dropping the module immediately struck me. i aint noe anyone here! how am i suppose to work with them?! ...

at this moment, phew.. my tutorial mate came in.. i felt soo much more relieved with familiar faces around. and yeah.. the lesson was good, the prof was good. i finally get to enjoy something that i believe i'd like.. hopefully. if nth goes wrong.

talking about friends. seriously speaking, there are many times where i felt that im a loner. i must admit that at times, i felt that im just an acquaintance to many of the people i noe of. whether close, not close.. i feel that im just needed when u need a joke, when u want to make fun of, or just to hang ard with. nth more. hmm.. only at times i may feel this way la k.. i know i have a bunch of great friends.. right (?!)

in tutorial class now.. i'd be so worried to burden any of my team mates. for unable to present well, for everything.. i just hope that i can be a worthy team mate.. yup. you noe that kind of delight to be in the same group as ZZZ as compared to the disappointment to group up with YYY.. i hope i'll never end up like YYY.. i shall do my best! =)

but my presentation skills are horrid, goodness. i'd picture myself speaking fluently, cracking intelligent humour and getting the class' attention to what im presenting.. but it never turns out the way i thought it'd be. sigh. best example is this morning's communication management class. there was filming of everyone's 3-minute presentation. i screwed it up obviously. sigh. gone my grades for this presentation.. and i must have been blacklisted to be one of the worst speakers in class.. but im determined to brush up my communication skills at the end of the semester. i want, i can!

you go girl! =)

hmm.. after so many years.. this is my official first blog with the new blogskin.. *applause* i know im a bit lagging in blogging.. but. nonetheless, i've tried ya? actually i really like this blogskin, such a cool wizardry mysterious blogskin. and that music. ha. (altho' im no big fan of harry potter.. ) and i bet u are jealous of my blogskin too! .. alright alright. stop that disgusted look on your face. =)

the lapse between my first entry and this entry is really great. so much have happened within this period of time.. and i shan't harp on them.. otherwise there will be no end.

alright.. actually i just wanna test out the effects. haha..

i promise u a decent entry later.
