who uses ICQ in this age, i ask you all? only those old people lah, who else? :P the old person is so gonna sulk when she sees this! but hey, she blamed my mike for being faulty when she didn't turn on her speaker and could not hear me. CHEH!!!!

Remember the MMR days? The period we will always fondly recall as 'hell'? I think I'm not gonna get away from that for my next four semesters. My assignments are starting to come in, their deadlines, I mean. For some reason, the university does not encourage groupwork as much as SP does. But strangely enough, I kinda prefer things that way. No offense if you happen to be an angmoh.
One's social calender tends to fill up at all the wrong times, don't you think? Last week I was lamenting the lack of activities in Perth and what happens this weekend? Loads of planned trips for meals, shopping, grocery shopping, meetings, etc. The only problem is my psychology assignment due monday morning.
Sigh.
When I was home I could laze an entire day at home and still be contended. In Perth, give me til mid-afternoon and I'm dying to go anywhere. Plus, spring is coming so the weather is still cool without wearing extra layers.
Mum is sending mooncakes over. I hope they get here. :)
When are you guys going to have a gathering? Or have you already had one?

i so love my job (despite complaining about them) that i don't really think of my salary le. hmm is this good or bad? i just hope that i get confirmed after 3 months despite the blunders i've made and despite client's complain about us last fri. so jialat, she complain and cc the email to her CEO. wa piang!!

let's get together, yeah yeah yeah
Hey guys,
Fish n co sounds good! Set a time and I'll be there, spiritually, that is. :)
Have I mentioned the ducks who live with us at our Student Village? Yes, there are about four or five of 'em, and a whole bunch of duck children. They waddle around like nobody's business and one is free to feed them. Very cute.
We have two lakes around the Village, one of which is only filled when it rains, which is pretty often during winter. The duck family swims in those lakes. Very cute.
Over at the Joondalup campus where I take my psychology minor, they have fully grown kangeroos hopping around as and when the kangeroos wish. Isn't that most amazing? A true integration of man and animals.
A little sidenote here: my uni is broken up into four campuses. I'm at the city campus, Mount Lawley, and Joondalup (mentioned above) is the main campus located about an hour's journey away. Something like Bedok and Dover. :)

misc
hey jess, are u initiating a meal together at fish & co?? hmm..
anyway nothing much to do, came up with a list of what i would look for in a job:
1. Location / Accessibility (dun wan to spend more than one-and-a-half hours travelling to work everyday)
2. Boss / Colleagues (it's a torture to have tempermental boss and mean colleagues)
3. Salary (any amount not less than $1,300 is fine with me)
4. Availability of food (everyday must eat lunch leh, so must be near food!)
5. Benefits (reasonable medical benefits, annual leave etc)
haha that's all for now. so far i'm quite happy in my current job. think all the factors above are reasonably good. but dunno if they want to convert me to perm staff or not. huh..
anyway last time i work at that production hse for a week rite? the boss says she'll send me a cheque but till now i haven receive it. hmm should i call up and ask? i dun even noe how much she'll pay me for that one week of work! my (ex)colleague told me that my (ex)boss should take $1,300 (the monthly salary she offered me) divide by 4. haiya i think i'm very stupid la, like work for free like that. hmm.. as i experience the working world more, i feel that if u dun stand up for urself, nobody will stand up for u. (is it too late to realise that?) and i would think twice (thrice, or maybe 100 times) about working in those small and ulu companies. like no security and the boss might cheat u anytime.. at least must be an established and known company, chances of getting conned maybe lesser?
anyway, i posted something at our yahoo group. coz dunno if appropriate to post it here so publicly.. go check it out :p
p/s: the job link i posted at yahoo group is for temp jobs

procastinating
ahZ okok. I shall update! strange though it seems, i feel most motivated to update when my assignment deadline is closing in and i have yet to start doing anything! Some things sure don't change...
wah! fy bought a new laptop? i was wondering... is there any laptop rental services here? i would need one for my uk study trip comng november! and i don't think i have the cash.... A digicam rental and external hd rental will be nice too.....
anywayZ, yup, been busy... i miss the cut six methods of doing things, and separating the work amongst group members... Right now, project meetings are extremely tedious, and i see my group members for hours at a go... (group discussion, without slacking) can go on and on for up to 4 hours. And sometimes, nothing much is accomplished! And worst of all, due to differences in views, we go on and on and on and on.....
there is no escape from powerpoint, one week into group project meetings and i find myself doing the (bloody) powerpoint again!! And there is no escape from citations....
on the bright side, i find myself referring to plenty of things we've studied, muahaha... remember maslow's heirachy of needs? also branding, dtp and the nct text book is particularly helpful! Unfortunately the practical lessons tt teach applications is in diploma lvl and i have to do a lot of self study to catch up on flash, director etc... i can tell you, the pple in my class are simply... beyond reach........ some have worked a few years in the industry already and my skills are simply mediocre compared to theirs.
ah well! anywayZ, for my status now, i'm part studying, part working as an assistant for a comic artist... for now, the pay isn't great, but its like the part time job of my short term dreams. The studio location isn't ideal either, somewhere in industral pasir ris! Travelling back and forth is damn tiring..... how does yh go to school everyday from sengkang?? she must either love travelling a lot... or love school alot... hehZ

Happy 40th
Today is National Day, as if you guys need any reminding. On the other hand, I couldn't be more ticked off knowing Singaporeans are enjoying an entire day off while I, a full-fledged Singaporean, slog away at uni.
Halfway into the second week of school and I have decided to go through a major timetable overhaul. I dropped a major, made a thousand calls, picked up a minor, ran through the entire school database, and selected an elective. Gosh it was harder than I thought.
Now I am a mass comm major with a psychology minor; and in order to satisfy credit requirements for this semester, I had to take up this Documentary Film and Television unit. Sheesh. Plus, my psychology units are taught at another campus - a bus, train, and bus again ride away. I must be crazy.
I think the reason why nobody from DMC has ever enrolled here is because the units are too similar. Unless you really really love Advertising and PR and absolutely do not mind a double dose of those god-forsaken subjects, by all means, come to ECU. If not, go to UWA instead, their campus is a lot nicer.
Once again, Happy National Day, folks.

Me.
Self-centred me. :) hehe anyway no one bothers to update this blog anymore!!!! WHY????? is cut6 falling apart like the crumble of a cheese pie??? hurrr....?? *shakes head*
fy, excusable for her computer decided to die on her. so she's busy attending to its funeral. pw, she's busy with MMR and the-likes. :P apart from that, she's also busy with grocey shopping every week.
status for lq, jess & yh: UNKNOWN. please make an effort to update even though it's a oneline paragraph thingie. can? so that we know you guys are safe and sound and still alive and kicking people's ass. hahaha!!
i'm enjoying the "no-life" life right now. basically, actually i get off work earliest 7.30pm (minus my first day at 6.30 and that was the last i ever saw sunset) . certain clients make me wait; so i've also learnt to make them wait!! nyek nyek.
in office, 5 minutes = half an hour. 15 minutes = an hour. not my fault that i purposely make them wait okay! it's because designers are tied-up and any changes (esp other languages; read: Chinese) i've to chase my translator's arse. which she absolutely detest me for that but u know me, i heck care.
fortunately, my designers are easy people to work with though they're stressed up to their nose tip. can negotiate kind, not those nasty "i'm a creative person so my words' final" type. PHEW!! my c@pywr!t3r is a lil' funny, though. he makes "cold jokes" which i am obviously oblivion to la. heheheh!!
hey, another thing is my office has about 10 staff (boss inclusive) and only 2 smokes! yay!! pw, remember i said perhaps the AEs scooted off to puff their way to death? no!!! they don't do ciggies!! hooray for me! and we think on the same wavelength: we've other addictions so we've to save money for them. ie shopping, bla bla bla.
alright, looks like i've written alot. your turn now, those silent/ dead/ sleeping cut6 members!! i think we should do something to punish them. if you all don't contribute, the one with the least contribution shall give ALL of us a treat at Gusto! WAHAHAHAHAHA

Shopping and Eating
Hey Cutsix, (or is it cutthree, if I were to be politically incorrect?)
Wish you guys were here! That's Perth's main shopping district in the city, sorta like Orchard Road, but with more colour and flamboyance. Buildings in Singapore are generally constructed with a functional objective, so when you look at a building, like the Paya Lebar Post Office for example, you just go, oh Post Office lor; whereas in Perth, seeing the Post Office makes you go, wah, wanna take picture or not?
It's just like how they've moved our court house to the new one beside the Parliament House? Well I like the old colonial-esque court house much better, because you look at it and it's grandeur gets to you, somehow that building commands respect. The new court house, however, just looks... funny.
Anyhow, I was very pek chek today. The textbook we're using for Communication Research is the same we used for MMR. I nearly peng san. The book sells for $88 (S$114) here! You see already you will also peng san!

after 3 months...
i could be looking for a new job. the AD found out that I could not read and write mandarin. :( no, they didn't ask me during the interview. so naturally, i didn't specify.
she looked like "I got cheated!". SIGHS!!!!
wah actually an AE from BBDO went for interview at my current company leh! and she had 2 rounds of interview. haha i saw their conversation over my colleague's email. kekeekke no! i was not snooping around!
i could not access internet on my computer so had to check my mail using my colleague's workstation. i had to also keep tab on her email because we were expecting an email from supplier. then i saw my colleague asked my AD why she chose me and not the above-mentioned person who has 1 year experience.
apparently they wanted someone with 1 year experience. a couple of them were quite shocked that i was a fresh-out-from-the-oven grad. *quizical look*

We talked about Michael Jackson in class today
Hi guys,
I like to start my posts as if I am writing an email to everyone. So I can say things like I once dreamt of seeing a butterfly on the train and today, i actually saw one!
Haha, pardon me. My housemate from Hong Kong gets excited pretty easily so I think she's rubbing off me.
Anyway, today I start classes! Media Law and Ethics! Do you guys remember the four traditional models of ethics? They are: Religious model, Deontological model, Utilitarian model and Egotistical model! Don't they sound familiar? I could almost hear ms peter's voice when my lecturer was explaining those models. hahaha, how freaky.
And you know what, I have to do court reports for my media law assessment! Sounds fun huh, must pray that I can understand what those native Australians are saying. :S

hi hi so how r things with all of u? well, things are quite fine with me. working here has been quite pleasant. good colleagues and good boss. at least the best boss i’ve worked for so far. until now the impression i get is that he is soft-spoken, mild-tempered and humorous.
so sy how’s your new job? first day should be quite free rite? Maybe someday we can have lunch together, since our working places are relatively near to each other.
anyway, my computer is officially dead now. one of these days i’ll visit sim lim square to check things out.. until i get a new comp, tink i wont be online for quite some time. only when i’m at office i can check emails and update blog. but very soon i’ll be given tasks to handle so i wont have much time to update our blog le. so bear with me ok? will update whenever possible..
take care, all!
