Been really busy these few days... but going to sit down now to tell you what the hell have been going on in my life.... =)
oh... i bought a beautiful coat at Next in Basingstoke over the weekend... really nice black coat, wool and cashmere blend. So nice. =) Then Kantan bought me a nice leather bag, from Next as well, to go with my coat. My first Christmas present, so sweet. =) As to why i am in Basingstoke, That's a good question. I wanted to go somewhere 'bigger' to shop, ie, somewhere with a HnM and Mango, you know? So Basingstoke's
Festival Place it is... and Kantan came, even though he could walk properly with a swollen foot.
Tuesday morning, la la la, i came to school and checked my mail, since i was 1/2 hour early, then realised that, I have an interview the next day, ie TODAY, at
One Aldwych in London!!!! I'm like, WTF??? That is like such short notice!!!! But what to do, so i ended up spending all the time researching on One Aldwych, and the more research i do, the more i am impressed with the hotel. Very cool hotel, very nice, personal art collection of the hotel owner, Gordon Campbell Gray. I am impressed. See for yourself...
Anyway, interview went okay. Not too bad. The recruitment officer was nice, but not like overly friendly you know?? But was alright i think. Still need another 2 interviews if i actually do get a placement here.
After interview, met Kantan, went to HK Diner for lunch/dinner. Had deep fried noodles with chicken and veg. Not too bad... I decided that HK can actually be quite nice, if you choose the correct dishes.
Came back, checked my mail and library reservations, then realised that the book that i have asked the librarian to order for me together with the other Marketing Book has been borrowed out once again!!! Without even reaching me!!!! How could they do this to me again???????????? They are so going to get it from me this time.
Work work work work work work.........
Let's see...
Pretty good day today. Got back my business control test... not too bad but thought i should have done better since i thought the paper was made to score... then sort out MIS... finally made some sense to me.... Yeah... now for my coursework.
I feel more in control now i think.... less scatter brained... more focused, yeah!
The world (and the assignments and the exams) , Here I come!!!!!
I actually had fun during German today!!! Which is a surprise because i usually struggle with german, or at least i have been for the past 3 lessons.... struggling quite badly, so much so that i was complaining to both my mummy and Kantan over the phone. Why the sudden change today then?? I also dunno... Isn't it weird??
But isn't life weird anyway??
Travel Catering was a little boring... gotthis guy to talk about cook chill and cook freeze... but he sounded totally like a sales person, trying to promote his company's cook chiller.... so boring.
Wonder what am i going to have for dinner tonight...
So DAMN bloody cold today.... apparently it was -3C yesterday night. Frost overnight. October and it was -3C already??? What about December then?? -10C?? or less??? I am so going to freeze over too like the water on the lake.
Hmm... today i made a really big BOO BOO (Ms Thomas' favourite word) on the phone. My house phone rang at half 7 today and i was half asleep, but about time to wake up. And so i picked it up and said "Hey Boy" into the phone, not realising that the person on the other side was my mum. Right. Maybe she is pretending not to have heard it, maybe i was mumbling so she din hear anything. I dunno. Think she will call again today or tonight. See if she says anything or not.
Made new grounds with friendster today. Saw loads of primary school friends.
I tell you... i am so f***ing angry with the bloody library. Maybe not thAT F***ing angry but i juz felt so pissed and unfairly treated. You see, there was a book on my reading list that cannot be found in the library, so i told the academic liaison officer (fancy name for librarian) of the Management School that this book was not in the library. She then immed ordered it and told me i would be informed once the book is ready. (I voiced my displeasure at not being able to find the book at the Joint Staff-student Liaison meeting - how could she say no?) Then today, i saw my friend holding a borrowed copy of the book that i wanted. And i was suprised cuz i would have gotten priority to it since i made the reservation (She got it off the shelf). So i went to check my records which said that the book is not available for collection and when i checked the catalogue, both the copies that the library have bought have both been borrowed out already!!!!! WTF??????????? How could they do that to me... i patiently waited a month for the book and now they juz let ppl borrow it without satisfying my reservation????
Now i am really fuming. They will get it from me in 2 minutes when i walk over to the library.
Should i go to the gym?? Or should i not?? Should i go home and rest?? And have a good sleep since i had only 4 hours of sleep yesterday night?? SHould i go home and do my assignments?? Should i go to the gym Since i already have my gym stuff in my bag?? Should i go to the gym?? Or should i not?? Should i go home and rest?? And have a good sleep since i had only 4 hours of sleep yesterday night?? SHould i go home and do my assignments?? Should i go to the gym Since i already have my gym stuff in my bag??

Congrats if you actually read each and every word in the above paragraph!
You know when u do research on certain topics, often u go online to search for materials yeah? And when you're working on a particular company, u go to their website, agree?? In this case, my Marketing Project is on a certain company called
Haagen Dazs. Go on, take a look. Really tantalising pictures, i tell you... Haagen Dazs positions itself at the super-luxury level (think: Savoy Hotel, the Ritz, the Plaza Hotel in NY), with its use of fresh egg yolk, cream and skim milk.
SIA to offer world's longest non-stop commercial flights
SIA fare, SIA food, SilkAir plane
Yay to the first article. Bleah to the 2nd. SIA should never do that. Despite the fact that Silkair is the subsidiary of SIA, you can never say that SIA and Silkair offer the same service quality. The travel experience would never be the same.
I wanna take aeroplane!!!!!!!!!
And my other wisdom tooth is coming out, and it hurts like HELL!!!!! Much much more than last time when my wisdom tooth on the right came out. Now i know why babies cry when they are teething.
It hurts!
Hmm... This juz in...
----------------------------------------------------
You have been scheduled for an interview with Nina Lamb of Conrad International at Chelsea Harbour on
Friday 31st August at 10 am.
(Information on how to get there)
The interview should last 4 hours.
---------------------------------------------------
My first interview for my placement!!!! The fact that i am taking a placement juz struck me...
A lil scared, nervous, excited kind of feeling????
Oh, btw, if you dun see me on icq anymore, dun worry, i am still around. The school have juz banned chatting online and right now there are plain clothes blacklisters going ard catching those using msn or icq. So i am going to play safe, rather than sorry.
I am still around. ;)
I figured that if there is nothing good that u wanna write, it's better not to write anything at all yeah???? I mean, why bore other ppl with how tired you are etc etc...
And now on to the good stuff...
Was really really pampered all weekend. With treats and sweets. =)
Business Control Test went all right. Should be good. =)
Gerberas are still alive and well. =)
It's not too good when u feel tired and u want to fall asleep during your favourite module right?? Yes. I am that tired. It's Rooms Division Management and it's my favourite modue for this semester and at the beginning, all my words are illegible cuz i am that tired.
And having a headache of course doesn't help.
It also doesn't help when u having a meeting with the module tutor in 20 minutes time for the project.
It doesn't help when ur bag is heavy and you're tired of lugging a bag which has 3 textbooks and a file all around school the entire day.
The only thing that helps is that at least i got the textbook that i need to study for Monday's Business Control Test. Yeah....
And it helps i could bring out 11 books from the library this week when the norm is usually 10.
And it helps that someone is cooking stir fried noodles for dinner for me tonight. Despite the long trip i have to make, i'm sure it's worth it.
TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really mean it. At least i hope i get some proper rest while doing my research, my writeups and my revision.
You know all of the sudden all the work juz comes your way and you juz have no more time for other stuff now??? that's how i feel now. Can not sit around and watch paint dry or any other time-wasting thing now.... It's work work work all the way.
But then all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl yeah???
So i motivate myself by remembering that there is F1 this weekend!!! Go KIMI!!!!!
Is it crazy to wear sandals when it is 17C outside and other ppl are in boots? Well, that's what i did today. Cuz i thought it might not be so cold. Cuz i thought the weather was pretty fine since i could walk to the launderette without a jacket and in sandals. I sure hope i am right man, cuz the I'm feeling a lil cold now in the computer lab. I hope this is no real indication of the weather outside. Maybe it's juz the inacitivity when all you are doing is sitting in the computer lab and all movement is at the arms and hands.
I will be back. Going to trek to the library now.
Hmm.... a weekend has passed again. Anyway, yeah. That's my weekend. It doesnt say much, but i like it this way.
So sian. It's like the time is juz ticking down but u juz can't be bothered, u know?
Seriously, i think i need some sleep... i am not making sense now, even to myself.
Weather's turning colder now. Brought out my scarf and gloves already. Did i tell you my gloves are really small? Kid's size i think. Sis bought it for me. But i love it. Cuz it's feels so snug and comfy.
Despite the fact that this is a new computer, the fact that we are now under the central computing service, the fact that it's running pentium 4, the computer is still really really slow... and then somemore cannot run both blogger and ICQ at the same time. How slow can this thing get?
Anyway, this is today's useless fact, do you know that there are as many as 21 different meal options for you to choose from besides the usual dishes on the plane? This includes vegetarian meals, medical meals, children's meals and religious meals.
Not very creative, i know. but this is what i can come up with now.
