omg, i am going to have my driving lesson in exactly 1.5 hours later. and, i haven't touched a car in like 2 months? and it looks like it's going to rain. SHIT!

and where is the freaking postman? i want my EDM baby flat top brush! i don't want to lose anymore mail ( like my EDM peach concealer and my lumiere mineral samples).

omg, and i need to go and do the laundry. or else my mama is going to kill me when she get home.

and i need to tidy, no, make that CLEAR my room because the COURTS people are coming on thursday with my furniture.

oh shit, and school is starting next TUES? and i haven't pay my school fee. and my visa application fee for the work and travel USA.

omg, i'm gonna have a heart attack just thinking of all this.

PLS, PLS DON'T RAIN! =(

went for the prudential smart & savvy financially talk last evening, and here's my nametag! =)

the talk is from 7-9pm. 7-8pm for prudential's COE talk and it is INSPIRING! , 8-8.45pm presentation by an image consultant where she randomly chose 3 audience and change their outfits and their makeups. 8.45-9pm is where we had to filled up feedback forms and a small recruitment talk to join prudential.

i didn't regret going for this talk because initially i thought it will be some talk to persuade us to buy prudential's insurances, but nothing like this happen, so it's all good =)

anyway, here's the acclaimed $300 goodies bag:

6 strawberry flavoured museli bars!

summer eve's femimine wash, biotherm's 3 samples of white d-tox & 2 kotex luxe sanitary pads

and, i am very surprised by the size of the kotex luxe's pads. it's like a huge angpow la! see the comparison below with a normal laurier slimguard overnight.

from left: kotex luxe overnight, kotex luxe daily, laurier slimguard overnight

4 perfume samples:unforgivable woman by sean john combs, fuel for life by diesel, eau fraiche by chanel and leauparkenzo by kenzo.

1 pronamel toothpaste, 1 phyto shampoo & 1 biotherm line peel

n 1 hello kitty nail polish by sanrio!

n it is damn because there's a miniature hello kitty inside where u can take it out and make it into a hp chain =)

vouchers: but the only one i like is the $10 inuovi professional voucher. i think the others can throw away.

AND, i FINALLY bought the MAC brush cleanser! i have very sensitive skin so it's a must for me to clean my brushes after every application. however, it's so troublesome to use the daiso brush cleaner bcos it usually took 1 day for those big foundation burshes to dry. so after like 1 month of consideration, i finally bought this!

the stupid sales assistant at vivo told me it's $22 but in fact, it's only $18! it's like getting a $4 discount =D and, it's cheaper compared to other brush cleaners like sephora, inuovi and clinique =)

ok, gg to polyclinic now, hope there's nothing wrong with my back T_T

SHISEIDO SALE+TCC WITH SIS+WATSON SALE+POPULAR SALE=HAPPY ME! =D

went shiseido sale this morning at orchard building n came out 91 bucks poorer =) there're different types of brands ranging from the higher-end one like shiseido & ettusais to the cheaper brands like za. anyway, here's my haul:

bought this medicated ance trial pack for $12. my sis told me that she gave me the soap long ago, n i was like WAT?!?! WE GOT THIS AT HOME? hmm.. it must be in some corner in my room.

left: the body creator aromatic energizing spray for $18. it's a nicely fragranced spray that is supposed to tone and firm your body, the auntie selling this told me that it's very good for lazy people to use cause you don't even have to massage it.

right: shiseido compact powder for $20 for my sis cause she say she need a powder. the design of this compact is great as it is very hygenic n i checked makeupalley.com b4 i went for the sale and it has a lot of positive reviews so i think she will like it. =)

3 majolica majorca eyeliner in silver, gold and bronze. N GUESS WAT? it's retailing for $22.90 and i got these 3 for $15! SWEET!

i got 3 exactly the same majolica majorca eyeshadow quad that retails for $25.90 and i got it at $15 for 3! 1 for me, 1 for FIFI, and the last 1 for my mum?

and the colours are WONDERFUL! I SO LOVE THIS ITEM! SO CHEAP & SO WORTH IT!

bought this ZA blue mascara for $5

N HERE'S THE BEST DEAL! (beside the majolica quad) i got these 2 items for $3 each! all ZA items that expire in less than 1 year are selling for $3!

so i got these ZA transpowder that expire in jun 2010. it is a cream-based product for your cheeks and eyes that will melt into your skin when u apply and become a powder.

this is the repair essence for dry or rough skin, and it retails at $22.50. it expire in oct 2010, and with 3 gals in my house, i'm very confident that this will be used finish b4 it expired! =D

went to dinner at TCC with my dear sis as she joined me at suntec where we planned to go for the watson member preview sale. she had this very very DELICIOUS mushroom sandwich with melted cheese, and i have the lasagne.

n i LOVE my sis because she settle the bill! =D


the watson fair was so TERRIBLE! limited variety of items with little discounts! my sis was looking for ZA skincare products and they are only selling at 20% off when we can get 40% off at john little. other items are either normal priced or like 10% discount? super not worth the trip! anyway, these are the 3 items we bought, and the giantic glucosamine capusles are for my mum.



loreal items are at 50% off and my sis got the loreal whitening toner at $3.45 and i got the maybelline aquasurge moisture lotion from the newly launched hydraboost series at $9.45. i like the lotion because it makes your skin very smooth when applied, n besides, it is the new range.


went to popular book fest after that and i got these 4 items. my sis bought like a trillion highlighters cause they were really cheap and those chinese game books that are selling for $1 each for her bf. we also got a chinese diy mask book for mum =)

i got these notebook that retails at $6.90 for $4.90. it will be my motivation to mug next sem!

highlighters at $1.90

this notebook for $2.50 and i like the pages because they are like brown paper bags.

n this multi pocket folder for $1.50 to stash my note next sem.

i must repeat, I LOVE MY SIS! since she has a credit card, she has been settling my bill and treating me dinner. LOVE HER! =D

OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS SALE! =(

tra-la-la-la! CHRISTMAS IS COMING TO TOWN!

YA! n i mean TOWN! the whole orchard road is beautifully decorated and it's really an impressive sight in the nightime =)

it's my fourth night at SMU today, and hopefully i will continue this practice until my exams end. n i must say tt i'm really proud of myself bcos i now wake up at 9 every morning, went to SMU at 11, have my lessons and continue to study until 11.30 every night where i chiong to the bus stop to take the 190 bus home. n after that is a quick bath and watching the repeat telecast of channel u shows.

no life but dono y, i'm loving it now! =D

in SMU on a sunday AGAIN =(

and tmr i have a super packed monday AGAIN:
0900-1200 FA project meeting
1200-1515 FA lesson
1530-1845 BGS lesson
1900-2030 internship talk for accountancy students

plus the fact that i have to submit my econs hw by 1530 tmr, my FA group project observations by tmr morning and my econs project by midnight tmr.

i think i will have to stay in school until 2300 tmr to finish all this stuff =(

and my skin is deteriorating like siao, pimples everywhere, n i mean EVERYWHERE!

ok, enough whining, back to work =(

FA quiz down, BGS presentation down =)

And just when i thought that i have the opportunity to rest and finally have my 10 hours sleep (after 3 weeks of sleeping 5 hours everyday), something wrong will cock up.

Sometimes, i hate to be the one that people turn to when they need a solution. Heck, why can't i be just another normal 19 years old like anyone else? I should be clubbing, mahjonging or doing whatever crap others are doing.

Maybe i should be less dependent and reliable.

And i'm now learning consumer price index in econs now.

Crap, wth is wrong with today?

2am: finished watching death note on channel u.

6am: woke up , took a super slow bus to suntec for speedwing work n travel usa 2010 that start at 7.30am.

10.30am: got into 6 Flags Great Escape with wei wen. =D janice, wan ting n xin hui waiting for their turn in the interview.

11.20am: just finished lunch with weiwen. we went to the super nice super cheap japanese restaurant in Citylink Mall, ate terriyaki chichken bento.

11.30am: at Starbucks working on ppt while wei wen does his ct journal.

2pm: back at SMU SOB, now waiting for bgs project meeting to start, ppl confirm late. feeling damn sleepy. sianx...

I'm going to get serious starting NOW.

I will stop my facebook addiction to country story, cafe world, sorority life and whatever heck games there are.

I will focus more on my study NOW as there is a very high possibility that i will get a GPA of 2.5.

I will study intensively for my FA quiz next mon bcos if i fail this one, i might as well drop the subject.

5 more weeks until the end of the term, I'm going to FOCUS NOW =D

IT'S A GOOD DAY TODAY!

After econs lesson today, ww & i spontaneously went for the sentosa resort recruitment drive held at suntec city. we went there with a " just to see see" attitudes, but in the end, both of us applied! and with the opening of the themepark in sentosa probably the start of next year, of cos we applied for the positions of games attendants; might as well get some hand-ons done before we went for the work and travel usa during next year may...

i'm damn nervous while we were waiting for the interview cos i was wearing my purple shirt, black shorts and slippers today- NOT A SUITABLE ATTIRE FOR INTERVIEW!

but nevertheless, i think i might get the job- emphasized the THINK again. it's not confirmed until the HR ppl contact us in 2/3 weeks time, but i got the letter of intent =D

and beside the sentosa interview, i also got my avon haul today! went down to yio chu kang mrt to collect and i must say that it's WORTH it! all these for under 20sgd! there's eye makeup removers, face cream, foot soak and foot creams, slick tint and eyeliners. and i dont buy things unless they are good n cheap- all these items have been intensively researched on to make sure that they are worth the price- typical auntie pattern of me =p


another photo to add on though this was taken long ago, my haul from the loreal sale:

i spend like 150sgd there? but nvm, cos now i have enough shampoos to last my house of 3 gals for at least another 6 mths!

and i can't wait for this weekend cos sat will be bbq at lenny's house and sun will be lunch at dr ryan's house =D

and FIFI AH! if u are reading this, be prepared to receive your very very late bday present which has travelled across 2 or 3 oceans to reach singapore this sat!

crap.

i realised that i may be the burden for my financial accounting group.

5 of us, 4 of them double degrees. 2 hci, 2 raffles.

my foundation is not solid enough. in fact, 4 of them are the top 10% of the class wherelse i'm in the bottom 10% aka "Compulsary consultation with teaching assistant" group.

heck.

i hate my creative project mates. 6 of us- 4 indians, 2 chinese

call me racist or watever, but they all are slackers. including the chinese. ALL.

watever.

i don't care if i fail these module since i basically have no creative thinking n have no interest at all to develop it.

heck. just crap myway through this course.

Just came back from my compulsary consultation with my dear financial accounting teaching assistant. Ya, compulsary because i failed my first FA test with a beautiful score of 21.5/55. HA!

Anyway, my TA is really good. He can like pinpoint the mistakes i have on my concepts straight away when i myself don't even know what i don't know.

YAY! Now i have the motivation to chiong my FA!

On a random note, I'm feeling very happy now because i just ate my favourite korean food and my each-a-cup milk tea at the Concord Hotel- the advantages of your school being in orchard =D

lalalalala! my econ n stats midterm gg, but who cares bcos recess week is here! like FINALLY! =D

n tmr i'm gg to watching the movie FAME with my sis @ JP =)

fri off to work then maybe dinner with s25 peeps n maybe band rock with lenny n yen hao later?

sat work again then go smu mug a bit then eat mooncake @ mao's house. my house got like 10 boxes of mooncakes la. got tong le, da zhong guo, dragon phoenix restaurant, east ocean, some brands from malaysia... blame it on my sis, she super duper excited about mooncake festival n bought all the mooncakes. i don't even know how we are gg to finish it.

n i realise i have beening typing nonsensically. must been the lack of sleep =D

3.43am:

i completed about 80% of my econs hw, only the graphs is still incomplete.

tmr still have to wake up at 8am =(

oh, not to forget, to quote the muttons, have a "Where's my mooncakes" Wednesday!

i love the muttons! =D

12.29am: i got 1 assignment to hand in tmr and 2 more for friday. i also got an interview for tmr, applying for the position of welfare for SMU Patron's Day =)

I decided since i'm using laptop everyday, i might as well blog more often.

I also come to a decision that i'm going to stay in school tmr until i finish all my assignments. if i don't finish my assignments tmr, i'm not coming home!

or maybe i will take the last 190 bus home cos i'm still going to work on friday....

Imagine this situation, I told person A that I'm in SMU accountancy and he replied, "Congrats! I heard that SMU graduates are in demand and that they adapt to the workforce quickly. You will be able to get a job quickly when you graduate." On the other hand, imagine another situation where i told the same thing to person B and he replied, "Eww! Why are you in SMU? It's a fashion show there! I don't believe that you can learn anything useful there!"

Get this, you ignorant people, according to the Graduate Employment Survey by MOE in 2008, the overall employment rate of SMU Accountancy graduates is 97.7% while it is 96.6% for NTU. The mean for SMU Accountancy gross monthly salary is $2,961 wherelse it is $2,643 for NTU.

As you ignorant people can see, SMU graduates are actually earning slightly more than NTU graduates. However, the statistics provided above is not meant to target at any school or anything. In fact, I have a friend at NTU Accountancy and I am glad for her. I also have applied for NTU Accountancy but failed. Nevertheless, even if I succeed in my application, I will still choose SMU again.

I love SMU for its excellent facilities and its style of teaching. The seminar rooms are built in such a way that it resembles a conference room. Students get to discuss issues exactly like how they will when they are working in the future. There are a lot of Group Study Rooms in SMU so that you get to do your projects or discussion in a conducive environment. You get to arrange your timetables in such a way that you do not have long waiting times between lessons. Majority of the school is airconditioned and have escalators, so you never have to arrive at your classes sweating and panting. There are printing rooms in every school so you can easily print and collect your notes before your lessons started. There is a IT Helpdesk where you can visit anytime you have problems with your laptops. The benefits of studying in SMU is endless, but you get my point. In fact, the only thing I dislike about SMU is its horrendous school fees.

So for you ignorant people, if MOE proved that SMU Accountancy graduates are good enough to earn 2.9k a month, if the professors at SMU Accountancy are either partners or are in the Board of Directors of the Big 4 accountancy firms and if SMU Accountancy students are able to do internships at the Big 4 accountancy firms, then SMU Accountancy is good enough.

Yes, SMU people may wear makeup and branded clothing for lessons, but so what? Our school is in Orchard and of course we have to make ourselves presentable. It will be quite a disgrace to walk out of SMU and go into shopping malls wearing T-shirts and shorts combined with slippers.

For those people that think we don't study at SMU, think again. We do play hard and work hard too. To illustrate my point, you can just pay a visit to SMU during the weekends and see how many students are there mugging. Heck, even during the Hari Raya holiday that ended yesterday, the whole school is fully occupied with students doing their projects. (I was there to prove it, no life i know.)

So for some of you people that are my so-called friends, stop telling me that SMU Accountancy is lousy and employees do not like to employ SMU graduates and such. You should be supportive that I am in SMU Accountancy. Even if after you finished reading this post and is still not convinced, shut the hell up because if you still call yourself my friend, stop giving me those crap.

it's 4:55 am and i'm tired.

tired from working, studying and to taking care of my mum's business.

tired from being an employee, a student and a daughter.

it's not fair, it's totally not fair.

y do i have to cope with so many things?

y can't i just study normally like the other 18 years old.

y can't i just have a carefree life like everyone else?

timetable's finally out! after like 3 rounds of bidding, i got my 4 days work week =)

it's not the 3 days work week i expected, but watever, sometimes u have to do wat u can do, which is bid at an acceptable rate and save money so that u can spoil the market when u're in year 2 =D besides, there is only a limited amount of vacancies so i'm glad that i managed to get my 4.5 CUs.
