my grp doraemon :)
anyway more importantly i had great papers so far... first paper was AB105: organizational behaviour and design. difficult part was to finish the paper on time. too much to write too little time. open book exam i only flipped through my own notes. added citation... somemore prepare 2 pages of references, cut and pasted behind the exam answer booklet -_- lol.

a bit overdo but well good impression and i really did a lot of readings and prep so should not waste it. only got one chance.

2nd paper was a bit more worrying. i didnt manage my time to study for the module. on the day of exam, i still studying macroeconomics :( AB106, principles of econs closed book make me cram all the terms... paper in the evening somemore, yawnz... went in the exam hall feeling so insecure... somemore sweating from all the walking... i think so far my worst paper... got a 14m question drew the graph wrongly... and a part of question worth 4m never answer -_- just hope overall B happy le...

3rd paper was intro to human resource management ... 2 papers today :( while i was doing last min reading up at the sports and recreation hall, i saw the superstar contestant, chen diya from my sch... lol. she was singing and talking to her frenz abt her experience. so noisy... cant concentrate. another closed book exam that drove me crazy. i woke up 8am to memorize points but fell asleep to wake up at 1145 to meet my friend at 12pm. but luck was on my side, what i studied came out. nothing more nothing less. happy i got jackpot.

went back hall to get my marketing notes and did last min research on SPRING. standard, productivity, innovation board ... rest for awhile then head for my next paper... AB112. stunned to find myself sitting right in front. when i saw the questions, stunned... not that they are difficult but got so much to write then i don't know where to start. lucky for the da chang jin influence, i used it as part of the experiential marketing i gave as my examples for a restaurant... keep my fingers crossed. my hopes for 2As - OB and marketing... if can get a plus even better.. can offset my other modules like econs and stats o_O

but sometimes feeling good don't equate to good results, but though left with last paper, i'm so in a holiday mood. attending my malay teacher's wedding and asked about tradition and culture from my malay friend... dun wanna violate any customs...

how is the world out there? i only know korea got a few thousand chicken died.

oh ya had a mcdonald dinner with laiyee and michelle, my 2 kopi sohs... great time catching up. our hands 'cui' (goner) from all the writing... wrote 2.5hrs non stop... a booklet with about 20 pages, i left with 3.

watch project superstar and so sad kenny went out, i thot he was quite good. u mean girls dun like cute guys? they like short guys like that jeremy chan with a headband? poor shiyu think he has lost the appeal... something weird. why shiyu said ' wo dui bu qi da jia' (i let you all down)? i mean he should have said, ' i wanna thank all those who supported me, to those who didnt, you let me down.' isnt it? lol and the judges mentioned he looked fat wearing white... i mean if he looks fat then moses lim how?

as for the girls, i was so relieved veronica went out? i guess she made her first impression as arrogant. and the song not very nice also... and the magdalene with the husky voice was mentioned to have the best dress sense. pui. fold the white shirt a bit, put on suspender (or watever it is), she looks gd?

forecasting... assuming i look good ( i know it is hard to imagine but at least can give me some rights to say things abt pple), for the guys, easily can tell who will be going out next week. if by superstar face, wee jian and jeff will be out next with their superscar face. lol. ok i was mean. but hey 'salty fish can flip its body', meaning against all odds, they might woo people to vote for them... even the F2 dawn wong who looked like some china girl also got in... wont be too hard for the dudes i guess. for the girls, hard to predict, cos pics can be so deceiving... chen diya from my sch is a smart girl eh, nanyang girls, hwa chong jc... and she has a nice voice as i mentioned... minus her height disadvantage, joining club 158.

ok enough of taking bad about people... back to mugging for stats.

..:: 439. The One With Impulse Buying ::..

Well another victim under APPLE's marketing strategy... impulse buying...

..:: 438. The One With Mugging ::..

Yesterday managed to experience the wrath of mugging for a whole day. purely marketing. a few things kept lingering in my mind.

first thing was about relationships... seems like most people around me who used to be 'attached' are now single and readily available... so what actually happened? busy schedules? conflicting interests or worse, issues? or is Singapore getting boring, lack of place for dating... I guess this pretty much gives us a prelude to why divorce rates are rising... will children be the only source that is keeping marriages alive? perhaps the next 'in' thing would be cohabitation...

secondly, sometimes there are things you should really keep to yourself. For me, i kind of regret letting my friends know that i had come up with a summary list of terms for one of my modules.

You can call me selfish or what, but it is really 'What's in it for me?' when i share my revision list. my not-so-close friends msged me 'hey can i have your revision list?' what would you do? i was more irritated when they said, 'hey, i was online, why you never send me...'

WHEY. firstly, i spent 3 hours doing up the list and i am still considering sending to you (more than one) for just less than 3 mins. secondly, the least you could have do is trade something, NOTHING. thirdly, you sounded like i owe you something... even if you are online, the least you could do is to pop up a window and ask?

If you were me, would you still send? I don't want to be selfish but these issues are touchy. even the tutor subtly mentioned, it is best you do your own revision notes.

thirdly, was quite pissed off with the service APPLE had. i ordered an iPod Shuffle online and the stated shipment date was yesterday. Hence, today i made a few calls trying to find out where exactly is my iPod Shuffle lying in the world. I was then informed that there was a late shipment so the earliest shipment date is mon and latest by tue. I mean, if you expect the overseas shipment to be late, you can at least send a mail or call since you have our details. I am not trying to be a fussy customer but with such service standards, APPLE has to think twice about going far.
