Retail theraphy helps

Oh well, i spent 16 bucks to get my 2 ads printed yest. I guess e 'extra income resources' i need for my course work kept me going with tuition. I hope this keeps me goin untill end of her PSLE. Then after, went back to sch n met up with hl. Headed to studio to work while hav fun watching video with gangs. Submitted my work, then met up with mich. She came over to des for e sake of her dearest pork chop. HAHAHA

We shopped ard since it's our annual CNN day. Then bumped into peter sam. He looked stunning that i nearly couldn't recognise him. I'm gald to hear those words comin out frm his mouth :) but i shouldn't pin too much hopes as well. We left sch, shop ard tamp searching for her slippers but didn't get it in e end. Then our last stop: bugis village A shopping paradise? we both bought a top :) like i say, retail theraphy really helps but i need to start saving up. Spent $60 on cab n printing in this month. Come to think of it. it's SCARY :X

Last but not least sorry qi! Was supposed to go out with u but i fell alseep with realising it. Promise it's either tml or next wk >.< size="1">

Jo, ganbatte! Don't worry too much yea? Things will improve :)

thanks mich for this :)
a great motivation. i appreciate it alot!

Finally i'm done and over with layout & design and adver. PHEW! 1 block down, 'looking forward' to another. I noe that i can't rant n rant over e same thing on block teaching. Jus bear with it for another 2 years, having e faith that there wil be improvement, things will work out better in e future blocks :)

Anyway, i got a D+ for layout. E average was abt C or C+. Yes i was demoralised n dissapointed with my performance. Somehow, I felt i didn't put in my best effort. Lack of time to develop my ideas, do thumbnails and consultations. But come to think of it, it's not e final grade. And one really learn e most from failure. I'm so thankful to those who cheer me up n encouraged to work harder. Those words are what i needed most :) Now, i fear to be in her class. Plus e fact i'm takin info design in block 4. God bless me yea?

Done with advertising too. I think i've learn alot from peter sam during consultation. He's really a pro in e adver related fields. I feeeeel so gd with all deadlines, projs, submissions off my shoulder. Giving myself a 3 days break b4 block 2 starts. Time to sleep, shop, spend time with family n friends, fun n REST :) N not to forget, i still got a presentation to prepare for jap on mon.

“Learn all you can. Try all you want. See what there is to see. Explore and experiment. Make mistakes. Climb vast peaks and plunge to hidden depths. Be decent, be depraved, be radical. Fall in love, wallow in hate. Smell like a flower, stink like a fish. Laugh and cry. And then forget it and find your own way – to create.”

Met up with ah-bin in e noon. Didn't see him for like ages bah. Thanks for being there n listen me rant n rant about sch work. Really appreciate it n sorry that i need to go off early to meet him.

E catching up session with terence was simply GREAT =) But i was kinda of shock when i received his msg yest but everything went well. I can't help but to say i'm a sotong. Made him waited for 10 mins at e canteen as i heard him saying that we'll meet at IT entrance. So sorry! I'm surprised that we acually chatted almost about everything; school, family, work, job, my future n movie related stuffs.

His words are always so powerful, encourging and motivating. I've learn, reflect, think and realise about many things within e hour =) I think i get to know him alot better also. Guess he's right, teachers, tutor n lecturers wish to interact with students but sometime living in such a fast pace society, time jus dun allows for many things to happen. (esp now, with e new BOLCK SYSTEM) .

I miss those day sitting in e staff lounge or outside staff room catching up with Mrs Lim, Ms Chua n Ms Koh over ribena, biscuits n swiss rolls? Oh i really miss them somehow. Will drop by n visit them soon when I'm done n over with my projs.

Major proj due next wed n thur. I'm dead shit. Haven't really started on any yet :p Sourcing for props, camera, 20 thumbnails, poster, direct mailer? They're enough to kill! Oh well, life always like this. Stay positive and be ready to put in ur best effort! Stef-san, ganbatte! I noe you can do it :)

Thanks for e drink n e great time we had =)
Looking forward to e next catching up

For my dearest mum

You are my mother and my friend,
Which is unusual.
Somehow our characters must blend:
Your wisdom and my will.

I turn, and you are there for me;
I speak, you understand.
I feel cared for, but also free;
You lead but don't command.

I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you, not just as my mom,
But for what you are and do.



Mum, I thank god for you.
If not for you, I wouldn't have come thus far.
I glad i've you to walk this journey with me =)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I LOVE YOU =)

Believe in Yourself

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were
meant to be there. To serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or
help figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you
know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming
those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will
power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of
good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer
stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small
tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.
Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you
experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned
from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because
they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious
to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they
love you, but because they are teaching you to love and to open your heart
and eyes to little things. Make every day count.

Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let
yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.

Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a
great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in
yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go
out and live it.


"If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see are obstacles."

to end off, you're a failure if you give up =)
