Its not over till I breathe my last gasp of air

I'm going to have to start my blogging entry by thanking Sean Poon and his grandmother for their Cafe Cartel treat on Friday. Ate to my heart's content there, the ribs and salad was very good while the pasta was simply amazing. The quantity of the whole meal was staggering and Sean, Jesvin, Sean's grandmother and myself still managed to finish it all off. Great meal overall.

There was the business finance test before that meal though. Don't know if i'll do well or not. Damn it, I really really hate and loathe business finance. Anyway, after that went to eat as mentioned. After the meal went to town with Jesvin and Poon to walk around. Mostly walked around Far East Plaza and incredibly everyone still had room to eat Thai food so we went to eat Na Na Thai, approximately 2hours after that filling lunch. This is the net result when you mix big eaters like me and Poon together. Hahaha, had a great time talking to them and finding out what's going in their class(apparently a lot of going ons!).

We left town around 5+, they to meet Jesvin's boyfriend(for dinner!) while I went to meet up with Vanessa. Been quite some time since I last saw her, and it was really nice to finally catch up with her. Supposed to eat Sakae Sushi with her but because I was so full we decided to eat at Delifrance instead. She ate while I just drank coffee and we just sat there talking and enjoying each other's company. I only wish it could have lasted longer but she had to go back home as her grandmother was visiting. Sent her back home before heading back towards woodlands to lepak with hazwan, ahmad and safary.

It was only after seeing Vanessa again that I realised how much I missed her........
And she's getting prettier and prettier everytime I see her......

Ok anyway, Saturday was also quite fun, played soccer in the afternoon as usual. Ahmad actually joined in, a real rarity, and to top it off, I didn't even had to ask him to come or try to persuade him, he actually asked me if he could go!!! Shows he finally is deciding to cut down his weight......... after that headed down to West Coast with Ahmad, Safary, Hazwan and his brother Zaid. Zaid drove us there, wasn't much space in the back of the car(I wonder why) but was still a fun car ride. At West Coast all of us became like young kids once again, playing at the rather huge park. Climbed up this tall Pyramid of ropes thing all the way to the top, Hazwan got scared halfway and stopped while Ahmad didn't even try.

The best/worst thing we did though, was to try this mini merry-go-round. It could at most fit 5 slim people if everyone squeezed like crazy, that's how small it was. So we had this competition, we put 2 people on this merry go round and spin them as fast as possible until one of them fell. Unfortunately I was the first one to try it out with Safary, and sad to say I was the first to fall. They took a video of it and I sort of flew when I fell due to the extremely fast pace it was spinning. Couldn't see straight for the next 30 seconds or so, everything was a whirl. Next up was hazwan and ahmad, the merry-go-round was slow to take off(yet again I wonder why) and our best efforts, it took quite some time before there was any momentum and then it was really fast(go read up on inertia if you want) till finally ahmad fell. Made quite an impact when he fell. Ahmad took it real bad on the dizziness part, took a really long time to recover as he felt like vomitting but couldn't. Hazwan meanwhile took revenge on his brother and Safary for the final round.

After that we all sat at this bench under the night sky, feeling the breeze while drinking coke and green tea while talking about mostly ahmad's girl problems. Hahaha, it doesn't look good the way I put it but i'm not going to change it. We all crapped a lot there, all the jokes and making fun of everybody(main butt of all jokes was the one with the biggest butt at that table). Laughed a lot there, really really fun night........left for home at around 1am and opened down the windows while Zaid drove, feeling the cool wind blowing against my face was a wonderful feeling. And you put 5 young restless guys in a car, it won't be long before we do something ridiculous.....we actually started to "dance" in that cramp space to the tune of the music from the radio. It was a really hilarious sight, all of us doing stupid "dance" moves with our hands in the car to the tune of the music, shaking our heads and moving our shoulders as well, imitating those para-para or something dance moves which can be found at the arcades. All this in a cramped environment. I think a video was taken of all of us "dancing" barring Zaid who had to miss out on the silliness as he was driving.

Fun two days I spent........but now its time to start mugging for exams......
Hahaha, well it was fun while it lasted.........

So I finally completed all my projects and now its time to look ahead to the exams which are in like 2 weeks time!

Anyway the presentation for the RTM project went reasonably well, just that Brenda Lim kept on cutting me off and asked questions insted of waiting for me to explain. I guess there was a time constrain and she wanted to be punctual in ending the lesson(for the record, she ended exactly at 5). The saddest thing about it all was that because my class had to hand in the RTM report before 10, there was 4 hours to rehearse our presentation and at the end of the 4 hours I could have presented my part with ease. But Brenda Lim had to put all our practice to waste and cut us off from our presentation. It was really tiring on Monday though, slept at 6am the previous night as I had to make a sudden change to the report and had only around 1 1/2 hours of sleep. So by the time it was the business law lecture, I could hardly keep awake.......so I slept, right in front of the lecturer who seemed disinclined to show his displeasure. And just when I thought I could go back home after business law and immediately sleep, I was given a timely reminder to finish my ICT project which was due the next day and which I hadn't started on yet at all! And as luck would have it, I just had to do the most irritating ICT question yet, something about the issues surrounding information privacy and electronic profiling. Nothing concrete could be found about these 2 issues on the net, trust me. Really really tiring day but still, I slept with a smile on my face. Monday may have been a tiring day but it was.....well, a very good day =)

And now I have to start studying for business finance ICA tomorrow. Real worried for my business finance as I haven't done well in both the previous ICA so this ICA must score, otherwise I'm in deep crap.

Oh and I was introduced to this robot chicken show by ahmad. You can watch it on youtube, its quite funny, they make parodies of movies and events. Go watch it if you can, and check out the star wars parody or the one about Michael Jackson.

Ok will update some other time........

Finally! FINALLY! Marketing Management project is OVER! Its like a huge load off my shoulders, this stupid blood donation project has taken up a total of 30% of my overall marks and it was really stressful doing this project as I feel its like one of the bigger projects I have done. My group's presentation went generally well, wasn't any hicoughs on the way. Then again, I have no idea why but I felt supremely confident before and during the presentation. Anyway its over for marketing management now BUT there's still 1 more project to go, and that is Retail project, which needs to be handed in on this coming MONDAY! Out of the frying pan into the fire.

Ok, i'm too tired to continue.........will update some other time

Its already the world cup final! France vs Italy........will be rooting for France but Italy will have the slight edge. Thierry Henry! Zinedine Zidane! Patrick Vieira! Lilian Thuram! Don't disappoint me France!

Its going to be a busy week this coming week. ICAs from all sides are converging to give all of us in RTM hell. Its really sickening that I can't watch the world cup without worrying about that stupid marketing management project which really is the epitome of irritating. Things just don't flow, blood donation is a unsought product and they want us to market it......it can drive you crazy. Weirdly enough, Wan Yi has single-handedly done her group's marketing mgmt project while most of the groups have not finished it yet. I realised then that its not because Wan Yi is smart or diligent but because she's doing it alone, and so has a clear view of what she is doing. When a group of people get together, ideas are bound to clash and this will result in a lot of time being taken to sort out which idea is best and what belongs where and who should do what. Lucky thing my whole MM group is very cooperative with one another.

I can never live up to anyone's expectations. I can only exceed them. Haha, confidence is something which is important in life, unfortunately I lose my confidence everytime I get near certain people and that really sucks. I have no idea how to sustain my natural confidence everywhere I go. Reason why I suddenly go into this topic remains a mystery........even to me.

Yea, i'll think I'll stop here and start doing business law......

As the flame dies
Then suddenly arise
Lingering on forever.....
