home alone tonight again and tmr night too.. my family and relatives went to malaysia for a short holiday trip today. and, i can't go, cos i've to start my temp job on monday... ):
by right, i think i shld be used to being alone at home after so many times. but then i guess, no matter how many times there are, it still feels a little... [i've no idea how to describe la..] ):
haha. i remembered about 2 weeks back, i spent the whole week inside my house studying for my exams. i start to lose track of what day and date was it. literally having no concept of day and night..
i woke up on a thursday morning at abt 8am. and to my surprise/shock/horror, my sister was still soundly aslp next to me cos i thought she was supposed to be in sch! so i quickly tried to wake her up and this was how the conversation between us went.. she was half aslp throughout the whole conversation.
(you must understand that when my sister isn't fully awake, she have no idea what she is saying, this also applies when she talks in her dreams. haha)me: elaine!! wake up! wake up! (shaking her to make her wake up)
elaine: whhaaaaatttttt...
me: how come you never go to sch tdy? it's 8am already you know! you're very late for sch! how?!
elaine: aiyahhh.. i dnt know la.. nobody wake me up (and she goes back to sleep)
me: (amazed at her answer) what nobody wake you up? then how?! you dnt need to go to sch meh?! how come mummy nv wake up? don't you have sch tdy?!
elaine: i dnt knowwwwww!
me: what dnt know! then how?! you can dnt go to sch meh?! eh! how?!
elaine: aiyahhhhh! tdy is saturday laaa! (and she sleeps again)
at this point in time. i was stunned/shock/dumbfounded. i was thinking to myself. whhaat?!!! saturday?!! tdy is saturday meh?? i thought tdy is thursday? how come become saturday already. have i been slping thattttt long? but then, it is possible that it's saturday as there's only me, my sis and my kor at home. usually on saturday mornings, my parents will go for their morning exercise while my younger bro goes to sch.
so, i thought to myself. "die. tdy rly is saturday ah? not enough time to study!!!" cos i've yet to study finish for my exams and exams are like on tuesday... but i was still wondering if it was rly saturday, or was it thursday that day. i mean, it's impossible that i travel through time right?? wake up one morning and you realised that you fast forward time by 2 days. hahaha. i was kind of panicky. so i told myself. "nvm. go back to slp. maybe i am dreaming. maybe
this is a dream. ok. yes. go back to slp."
as if i could go back to slp like that...
so i forced my sister to wake up.haha
me: elaine tay! are you awake now or not? (better to make sure la you know..)
elaine: yes la.
me: tdy is thursday right?
elaine: (now that she is awake... ) ya tdy is thursday la..
me: (i tell you. at this point in time. i felt so stupid for thinking that i might have traveled through time...) then how come you have no sch?
elaine: aiyah, tdy is psle oral mah. no sch for us la.
me: no wonder you can sleep untill now la! do you know what you tell me just now anot???!
elaine: what? i got say anything meh? (i told you she have no idea what she says...)
me: i asked you how come you have no sch tdy, and you told me that tdy is saturday lor! i thought what happen to the time ok... thursday become saturday... i thought wah, i traveled through time....
and then we went quiet for awhile and started laughing. hahaha.
my last paper ended today. not exactly a 'yay exams ended' feeling. but more of like a.. 'finally i can rest' kind of feeling. it's been a busy past one month or so. nv really had any time to rest due to the major presentation. and then it was down to studying for exams. very tiring i would say. but glad that it's over.
was cooped up at home for the past 1 week. from monday to friday, i didn't step out of the house at all. only got out of the hse on saturday and sunday. haha. staying at home 5 days straight is no joke man. facing my books everyday.. i think i almost went crazy. haha.
well, now that it's the holidays, i know i can't just let it go to a waste.
this holiday i want to:
- read all the books that i've been meaning to read since i dnoe when
- rearrange all the old photos in that 2 cabinet
- if possible, make a photo album out of all those photos
- research on SIM and aust uni. abt the courses they offer, etc..
sounds gd? haha. well, i was just hoping that this holiday can be a time that i can do the things that ive been meaning to do and have a gd rest at the same time. but, i know i know. i shld be finding a temp job for the holidays, which is why, im going to recruit express tmr with wen and deb to find a job for the hols.
haha, happen to see this 2 pictures in my phone and decided to post it here.
so, abt 2 weeks ago, wen, debbie and lav were at my hse. we're rushing to do our project.. it was quite late at night then... think close to 11pm. see how messy my room is.. as if like a tornado just came into my room. haha. reminds me of how my room looked like when we were in year 2 and we were rushing for our IEF project too.. haha.


messy right.. i told you. haha.
so here are our print advertisements that we made from scratch. credits to debbie for taking the photos and photoshop-ing it.. we spent alotttt of time thinking abt the taglines and all that. finding locations to take our photos. haha. think the print ads turned out quite nice. it's a series of print ad targeted at different groups of pple. it's about health screening.

this one is targeted at Senior Citizens. you plan for everything, your retirement plans and all that, but what abt health screening? dnt forget abt it, or you might regret ..

this one is targeted at the youths or young adults. sporty people in general also. it's saying that healthy living is not enough. you do sports, but you still need health screening. dnt be deceive by "looks"..

this one is targeted at young families. i guess dnt need to explain much la. oh, but this print ad very funny. haha. ms tan and mr er says that it looks abit like an advertisement for horror films. hahahaa. "the maid" HA!!
quite satisfied with the end results. we should be getting somewhere around an A - B grade. hopefully it's an A! all the hard work paid off i guess. next semester, it's going to be funnnn. (if i get into marketing that is... )
ok, i've been resting for the past few days already. need to start studying before i start regretting.
finally, the marketing IP presentation is over. the late nights and crazy rush hours for the past few months have finally come to an end. really satisfied with what we have done. i love our tv advertisement and print advertisements (: presentation was not bad too. there will be another presentation to do after our exams. somewhere near end of august. this time round, we're going to present our marketing plan to our client - DDB. our tutors said that we'll integrate the 3 groups' ideas together, and then present the final and best overall marketing plan to DDB. hopefully, they'll like it.
next semester, i'll most probably be continuing with the Marketing specialization instead of taking the International Business specialization. we submitted our appeal today to change specialization. and judging from what our advisor told us, it seems like there is a high possibility of successful appeal.
i've decided to change specialization as i realised marketing is really interesting. it is very very hands-on, which is something that i like. and if our appeal is successful, next sem we will be doing the implementation of the marketing plan. but it's not my class's marketing plan. we will be joining another class and implement their marketing plan on StompAids. it's sort of related to HPB also la. and it is really interesting. we get to organise roadshows, concerts, etc.. like really carrying out the plan.. yeah.. i believe it will be quite busy.. but well, it seems fun leh. hahaha.
anyway. that aside, exams are here in abt 12 more days. 2 papers this time round. not really alot of time to study.. haha. need to start studying soon!
i can't believe that presentation is overrrr! :D :D
"I've got work piled up to my head,
and all i want to do is jump into bed
and wash away my troubles with lemonade.."
好累啊!!!!!!!! :'(
2 more days.. feels like 2 more months...
