Whoopiee!!!

yay!! all the hectic and sleepless nights.. hahaha..
oops* actually i did sleep more than my 2 other team mates, and one of whom can be so irritating that it gets on my LAST NERVE! humph!

anyway, the "sleepless nites" were for the preparation of the presentation for the CapitaLand Marketing Awards!

and whooppiiee!!!! we emerged as the 1st Runner Up!!

hehehe.. i know, u are thinking wad so big deal abt it right.....

the thing is that our proposal was only done the night right before the submission date and our slides were ok... it was concentrated on graphs and tables, but the design was something that we could have improved on.. so ya..

anyway, the prize was a trophy and $800 voucher for CapitaLand Malls! heh heh heh..



now, dont be jealous! *winks*

smiling all the way

i had trouble wiping the smile off my face as i skipped back happily from class..

not only was it the commencement of my Recess Week,
it is also one of the best calls that interrupted my class! hee..

So, in mid-september, wanting to have more things to be included in my resume, and thinking that school will not be THAT bad, i decided to joined CapitaLand Marketing Retail Awards with 2 other team mates.

and then the day to submit proposal arrived.. my team procrastinated for 3 weeks and we finally met up on the night before the submission date to work through the proposal!

Let's just say the night's effort wasnt down the drain....

this competition is held throughout all tertiary institutions in Spore and about 102 teams submitted their proposal.. and guess wad, my team and i arrived in the SHORTLISTED 5 teams among the 102 teams! hee...

the winner of the competition will be having an internship in CapitaLand China! woot! and the 5th team gets $300 CapitaLand voucher for consolation.. so anyhow, i would still have the voucher! heh!!


cant help but to smile from ear to ear

THE HONG KONG TRIP!

hehehe.. i know i went on the trip like LONG ago..
to be exact: 14 July to 18 July

hee.. and only NOW tt im updating it onto my blog.. *Blush*

Day 1: 14/7 -on the plane-

our flight departed Changi Airport at 0820. Imagine the time that i had to wake up at.. hur hur.. and here u can see how sleepy i looked!

The last time i flew was in Mar '06! and it was on a budget airline. all i have to say is that similarly, CX didnt have sufficient leg room. and the only enternatinment on flight-the TV thing- also came down with some technical errors :(

with nothing much else to look forward to, Breakfast was the last item i had on mind. And this was how it turned out...

the breakfast was erm, alright la.... just alright. 2 very soggy hasbrown, one extremely oily bacon, which flew all over me! so i smelt like a walking tomato! AND... the omelette wasnt very appetizing! it was lesser than alright.. oh! and there were 2 stalks of overcooked Aspharagus! =(

on the other hand, my mommy chose a different set of breakfast.. this looks better? hmmm


and on a lighter note, my hair DID get static-y and straighter and also softer! hehehe (according to nim's theory, this is wad SHOULD happen when you r on a plane! )

Day 1: 14/7 -after touch down-
we touched down at 12+ and after that we headed to get some liqour for my aunt -who stays in HKG-

afterwhich, HKIA follows up to the story of a-disappointing-Day1-in-HongKong! Hoping to be an asian hub, they have a not-long-enough travelator and their queuing system is definitely something that they should be improving on! or rather their allocation of manpower.

as you see, it was a saturday, knowing its a peak period, most of the custom counters were closed. so poor travellers had to wait and queue in a very messy looking queue..

after we went through the gates, it was yet another continuation of the disappointing story! Win's Travel made us wait for an HOUR for ALL their customers (and highly possibly from another plane) to arrive before making their way.. it was slow and inefficient!
PS: i still smelt like a tomato.

at 1615, we finally arrived at our hotel- Majestic Hotel. which was located along...

at night, we went on the night tour! it was not a disappointment AT ALL! in fact, i totally loved all of it!

first, we went for dinner at a freezing restaurant! thereafter, we proceeded to The Peak.. the view was fabuloso! im not sure whether cos it was a saturday night or is it everynight they have fireworks.. i was yearning for more!

but from the peak, the lights performance at the avenue of stars was visible..

so here's a pic from The Peak! hehehesoon after, we headed to Madame Tussade, the wax museum.. had tonnes of fun there!

here are some pics.. n my parents refused to take pictures! and this is Arron and Iand then, meet me and Princess D
and then meet my Royal Family! and this guy with the same initials as i do! heh
the only pic tt my parents took with the waxed figurines.. hee.. check out how naughty my mommy is! and Marilyn Monroeand then we headed to the Avenue of Stars and we ended the night tour with a ride on a open-deck bus. something like our Hippo bus.. enjoying the night scenes of Hong Kong. the bill boards and crowd! Day 2: 15/7 -Hong Kong: Shopping and Eating!-

after a LOOOONNNNGGG first day, we finally had time to ourselves.. planning our own itinerary.. yay! and this is the day, I OWN A WETSUIT! hehehehe.. so egg-cited! it was cheaper than Singapore, so i bought it!

and this was how our morning Dim Sum went.. food, food and MORE FOOD!!

after dim sum, we went to the New Territory of Hong Kong, similar to our Choa Chu Kang or Seng Kang.. to meet my aunt! the last time i saw her was when i was 14.. so you do your maths! she's very outspoken (as of almost ALL the other HongKong citizens are hee..) and i love her to bits! and then we went to some heartland malls, and bought some snack! hee.. eating away AGAIN!in case you cant figure out wads that, its some small fried crabs.. like calamari.. it tasted quite nice and oily! hahahah

before we went for dinner, we passed by some wetmarket.. and then it was DINNER!! it was at a Hawker Centre, similar to the Chinatown Market and the shops there are those zi cha stores.. my aunt loves to drink.. so during dinner time she only eat the dishes accompanied by a bottle of beer. after dinner my daddy went back to the hotel, cos it was too draining for him, while mommy n i went to SHOPPING!

Day 3: 16/7 -day trip to Shen Zhen-

dont have much pic of Shen Zhen cos i was too scared to take my camera out! hahaha..we went to Lo Wu Commercial Centre and it was kinda gross. they actually allow people to smoke in the centre! and the service attitude of the people there SUCKS big time!

anyway, their shoes are EXTREMELY CHEAP! my best buy there was a pair of green polkadots wedges! only for S$4!! and the food was finger-licking good! and a pair of flat bottom boots at only S$8!!

if you ever go to Shen Zhen head down to Dong guan.. its a placed filled with Shopping Ctrs! but i had a very bad gastric pain, so i didnt want to walk at all! =(

Day 4: 17/7 -shopping day spent at Causway Bay-

when you visit Hong Kong, Causeway Bay is definitely a place that you would want to visit! it was FLOODED with Shopping Centres and Shopping Arcades everywhere corner you turn! let's talk about the food first! hehe..

check out these yummy yummy food! *slurps* back to the shopping.. its good, but on the other hand, the prices are way too high, esp after the visit to Shen Zhen.. there were flourescent paper writing all shoes priced at HKD300! (eqv to S$60) i dont think thats cheap enough to be flaunting on some bright coloured paper!

grr.. another nerve wrecking thing was my mom! i think thats also another reason why i havent been on a trip with my parents for so long! cos my mom can be very annoying.. everytime i buy something, she'll nag saying you've got so many clothes bla bla bla.. when will she every stop!? argh!

as it was our last night in Hong Kong, my aunt came and join us for dinner.. this time we went to the Dai Pai Dong! the ones that are on the streets.. but becos it was kinda a touristy thing, it was air-conditioned! and boy, check out the food! it was yummylicious-finger-licking-mouthwatering-heavenly-tasty! and this! is my favourite dish among my favourite meal!! yummy!!

Day 5: 18/7 -the last rush!-

so we have reached our last day in Hong Kong.. the plane will be departing Hong Kong at 8pm.. and so we are left a few more hours for the last minute shopping!

i managed to buy a bag and the rest of the day was just dessert, food, desert, and more food! hee.. we arrived with only 2 luggages and returned with so many more! ehehe den we headed to the airport and it was home sweet home..

Busy AGAIN!

yep! welcome back.. to the busy again part of my life! BAH!
its been 6 weeks into the semester and things are not getting any better..

before the semester started, i was deciding whether to specialise in HR Consultancy or Marketing.. which, in my point of view, is offered everywhere... in SIM, NTU, NUS, SMU.. and many other private institute.. u get the drift..

on the other hand, HRC is not everywhere.. various institute offers HR management.. but NTU is like the only one offering HR Consultancy..

and from some statistics thing, HR is the next big industry that people wants to enter, with Banking coming in first.

so, when i was given HRC i didnt hestitate to accept it.. but now im regretting BIG TIME!! :(

the readings are piling up.. exams are not open book.. sigh..



i hate my life!
