Last Update Of The Year
Before year 2011 officially ends, I wish to post a last entry to summarise all that has happened.
Jan/Feb – In the midst of completing my diploma studies in NYP
Mar-Mid May: Temp Assignment at Kian Soon
Mid May – Current: Pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) at University of Adelaide
Life has been good thus far…I will not go into the nitty-gritty details but I am thankful for each passing day. Since 2010 I have not been 100% happy…I constantly hope and pray that my ONE wish will come true…! Anyway, I will unofficially graduate from school in 4 more months…gotta treasure my last trimester in school when it starts cos after that, whether I like it or not, I’ll be out in the corporate world. I’ve heard so many things bout the corporate world where wits and guts are challenged. Come to think of it…is that the only possible way for individuals to compete? It’s rather sad if u ask me…coming from a peace-loving person but well, we gotta blend in dun we? I believe this is the main reason why most people prefer to be students where exams are the only nemesis but as we grow up, we would be bounded by responsibilities and this is the harsh reality of life. Gosh! My post is getting lengthy and boring but pardon me cos I am just jotting down my penny of thoughts!
On a sidenote, I have not really decided which industry I wanna work in 4 months time. I know time is running out but I guess I am young and I just wanna get a job that would aid in my career progression and allow me to broaden my horizon (TRAVEL). It has always been a “dream” of mine to travel around the work be it for work or leisure since I was 16 years old and I sure hope I will accomplish this 4-years-dream-of-mine! Haha..I hope I will continue blogging randomly next year, get a driving license soon when I have the financial means to do so, build up my career portfolio and be genuinely happy with the new and old company of friends in year 2012. Cya guys next year then! :)

28 Oct 2011 (FRIDAY)
So today is my 20th birthday and can I say that it doesnt feel like my birthday? Okay lah...maybe u might be thinking a birthday is not much of a big deal and u are not wrong. Birthdays in the CHON family is recognised but not celebrated in a grand fashion so that's my point.
Anyway, I dun have many wishes this year but there's only one wish close to my heart that I hope I'll be able to receive. It's for me to know and for you to find out! But before I end this entry with a GOODBYE, I just wanna say I really really really hope my wish will come true. I am optimistic and will remain positive! :D

What Is This?
Oh yea...here's a random blog entry. Anyway, I seriously doubt anyone still visits my little bloggie and school has been real taxing so I did not know what to blog or maybe I'm just cooking up excuses?
Anyway I had Marcom this week and I really enjoyed it cos I get to view so many awesome adverts and the meaning behind them are generally purposeful. It's like so many blood and sweat are put into the ads just to convey something to the consumers. It's touching and I guess we'llonly understand it if we are the ppl behind the scenes.
Anyway, when I was attending creative thinking in poly, I had this lecturer (John Ho) who also taught marketing modules so first-hand experience of ads preview was from him and I really enjoyed them. To think I think commercial ads were a waste of time in the past. Well..look at how much I've changed but with that being said, I am definitely not cut out for a position in this line cos I am not creative enough..I just enjoy watching and interpreting it provided they are interesting adverts.
On a sidenote, after this week, I gotta be in sch for 3 weeks straight b4 I enjoy my 2 weeks of break. OMG...but at least I am comforted by the fact I will not waste my time away and doing something useful whilst I am in school and it's time to pull up my socks cos I've been lazy and a bad girl.
PS: You set my mind thinking and my heart racing!

Some updates
I'm here to give my little blog a nudge cos it has been idle for quite some time. BAD OWNER! Anyway, just feel like updating some random happenings in my life. I am wondering if it is going too fast but 05 Sep marks the second trimester for me in UOA and today is officially my second week in school for a second course.
I know my blog is not private so I cant be discrete about certain things (as much as I would like to) but I doubt anyone will stalk me. I feel my classmates with the addition of the 26 new students in the second intake are more hardworking which is good to a certain degree but I hate competition. Oh well...
Anyway, exam results for last trimester are not out yet. I am so unambitious but I just hope I will at least pass everything if not I would be at a loss. Been having nightmares lately perhaps I am too tensed. This trimester is not gonna be easy - 2 Core, 2 Management courses and it's gonna be so so much work. But look here, this is the path that I have chosen so by hook or crook, I've got to make it work!
Sometimes I wonder how is it possible for me to stay so calm. Right now, I just hope this trimester to be a breeze to get through and I am so looking forward to my approximately 1.5 months of holidays at the end of the year. Till my next update!

Doodles...
There's so many things I wanna do after my exams but I gotta remind myself that there's no break till the next trimester unless u consider Sat and Sun my break? So it's just two days after my IFIM exam and I gotta start lessons prim and proper once again. 4 courses per trimester of approximately 3 months seem too much to handle but this is what I have chosen so who am I blaming? Nah...this is not a "ranting post"...I am just voicing out my honest opinions.
BTW IB exam today would be manageable if only I had studied more. Take note of the IF ONLY. Blame it on my frivolous character and taking things too easy. A slacker like me should find it a norm to deal with my personal issues...sometimes I believe I would be able to do much more if I don't have such a flawed character of being so last-minute and indignant to start. Gonna start changing if not I will definitely see drama. Well, off I go and I shall end the post with a GOODBYE! :D

Control
Tomorrow is the deadline for IM project. The guys have already submitted theirs on Fri cos they've been hard at work for the past few days. I feel so noob cos I've not been productive this week but wait a min NOW I sound kinda competitive. No No I dun wanna fight! Okay...just hope my group can submit ours ASAP...
It's like 10 more days to my first paper and I haven started on revision. CONGRATULATIONS...either I am too tired or cant get the momentum. Feeling guilty yet psycho-ing myself it's not that bad but the fact is I AM DEAD MEAT! I feel so moody cos even after 3 papers I still gotta concentrate on IFIM. It's tough as a full time student...people cannot tell I am stressed cos I dun appear to be but I am OKAY. Aiya..there's no point showing ur weak side to others wat and this post has become pointless already. GOOD NIGHT!

Ya
There's been some unexpected changes in my timetable. I am supposed to be studying for IFIM second intensive this week and go for my examinations but cos of my lecturer's passport validity issue, class this week is postponed to 23-27 August instead.
If u ask me, I say it is a good and bad thing. Good because I can start studying for my 3 papers now and be on par with the rest of my classmates which is not achievable if IFIM intensive was still on (problem is will I start a not?). Bad because I have another week of intensive to go and paper to sit for when those who are not taking IFIM can enjoy their one week odd break. With all these being said, I am not complaining cos I dun mind not having the mini holiday if I am given more time to prepare for my exams. It should work to my advantage if I can control the situation. LOL!
Anyway...from what I've just typed, I can see how much confidence I have with regard to my own determination. Frankly, it has been a long long time since I've put together such a "long" entry. I cannot believe how fast time is buzzing. Seriously, even though it has only been like 2 months since I started school in university, it feels so much longer.
I really hope I will do well but I am paranoid that I won't yet I am not doing much to help myself. I am so terrible and u know what...deadline for my IM project (30%) is this Sunday. I seriously gotta focus and get prepared for my exams...there's only a year to go...work hard now and fret later. It's amazing how someone who nags and is as paranoid as me can be so relaxed and stress-free. Very weird if u ask me!

iFly
"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky". I am sure that many has heard of this song before and at some point in your life, secretly wished that you are able to fly up high. Well...I've always wondered how it would be able to fly and on 17 July (Sun), together with my bro, I got to experience this incredible journey at ifly Singapore and I shall show you a collage of the pictures I took. Words cannot describe the feeling I had in the room that's specially equipped with air for us to fly up high. I was pretty nervous and fell on the metal ground but pretty soon, I rose up again. The instructor was a great help as he was the only one who I could lean on during the flying journey. I've had my fair share of fun in trying to fly. What about you?

Random updates
It has been a long long time since I last blogged and I've neglected my blog because twitter and facebook made things so easy...my personal updates are frequently reflected there. FYI I lead a rather boring life so I've been too lazy to blog but life has been GREAT so far in fact, I cannot believe it is July 2011 now. OMG...What have I been doing??? Let me think...In June I participated in NAA Talent Competition organised by NAA and I got to know 14 people from the 5 polytechnics and it was a fun and cool experience. I've also been hanging out very frequently with my secondary school friends. Dinner dates, Pulau Ubin, Butter Factory, Marina Bay Sands.....I wish I have more time but after the MBS stay (which was yesterday), I realise there are some other stuffs that are more important and should be on the top of my priority list! SCHOOL's the bomb and if my time management sucks I will flunk and I seriously don't wanna see myself failing. Standard in university and poly is very different and I just gotta accept it! Okay...end of rant and till my next post (HOPEFULLY REALLY SOON BLOGGY)

Blogging Woes
This is a random post - I just attended my friend's 21st birthday party yesterday and it was a blast! Nice atmosphere with nice people around so it was good fun. Ahhh...in a few days I will graduate from NYP officially (for good) and a new phase of life awaits me. I always believe in being myself and not changing just to blend into the background but this time, I am not certain anymore. It suddenly dawned on me that I am not prepared to go through this path yet I have chosen to do so thanks to myself so no matter what , I have to lift my head up high and walk through this journey with faith. "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING". I hope one year later, I will pat myself on the shoulder and smile because I have made the right choice and managed to pull through. No matter what the outcome may be, I will battle with my destiny and I will survive!
