then yong'an came to talk to me. he said that, it's not dissatisfaction, if we dun improve, we'll always be stagnant. then i was arguing the whole thing about discontentment vs self-improvement (i think i wrote a post on it). there is only a thin line, how are we supposed to differentiatie this discontentment from the need for self-improvement?
finishing school made it clear. we should always seek improvement - attend all the talks, workshops etc. sometimes what i dun like about business is that everything is about packaging. i'm not just talking about events or products, it's also about humans, how we package ourselves and make ourselves look useful to the company. it is true that at such an age, we should already be thinking about such things, and it is practical, but i must admit, i dun like it. to me, a nice cover is not equals to good substance. i've always be wary of people who can package themselves well, but i guess in business, it's not a matter of choice - to gain advantage over people, you have no choice but to brand yourself. and it is clear that the better you are at doing that, the more advantage you have. that's the sad reality of life.
i'm considering changing my concurrent degree from mpp to a ddp in econs or psych. the latter two sound more appealing to me now. i dunno if i'm just a coward - refusing to take up mpp simply because it requires a lot of verbal skills - but somehow, mpp has lost its appeal to me. i'm hoping that the new ddps would be introduced so i could possibly consider more seriously about the switch.
peiying called me just now and complained about how i just left suddenly and didnt even say bye to her.=X but it's quite nice knowing that she still remembers me.=)
have been hanging around ja quite a lot for the past few days cos of cny stall. we keep people-watching and sometimes gossip about biz people it's rather fun. i think if jess and cynli were around, we would completely be in our own worlds and talking and laughing like mad. heh.
and thank goodness farah fetches me to school almost every morning. 10am lectures are quite good sleep-inducers. and tutorials and starting soon! omg... can't believe it. it's time to do work already.=( but the past two weeks have been filled with meetings and so on and so forth that i wonder how to survive when homework and projects come into the picture. have i overestimated myself by taking up too many commitments? stardust, rag and west end meet are enough to kill, add that to ia, studies and tuition. maybe not being able to join foc is a blessing in disguise. to really take a good break from s'pore and enjoy before the REALLY xiong stuff start.
publicity for stardust is gonna start soon! if you know of anyone who loves singing, please get him or her to join STARDUST 2008! (though i doubt this will actually get anyone cos readership of my blog is rather low, but nevertheless, it's always worth the try.)
maybe one good thing about the commitments is that i really meet a lot of friends along the way. was recalling how i was so scared that after jc, i wouldnt have any friend cos i'm such an introvert. but now, though i dun have a lot of very close friends, i have very nice friends at least. there's always the fair share of irresponsible people, but there are also others who have tons of passion for whatever they do. it's really admirable sometimes.
met up with jr and cherry on sat after SOOO long of not meeting. went to eat ichiban, then shopped around, then went to play pool. i reached home at around 2am i think.=X have been buying quite a lot of stuff these days. a few weeks ago i bought 2 dresses and a top, then more recently i bought a pair of shoes (which some people said is very nice=P) and a pair of shorts. plus i've been tending the cny booth that i ended up buying a lot of the tidbits.=X gosh.
photos of cherry and i!
hooked on wo bu pei these days. i think the mv is really quite good. feel so sad for celebrities after you watch it.
我不配
作词：方文山 作曲：周杰伦
这街上太拥挤
太多人有秘密
玻璃上有雾气在被隐藏起过去
你脸上的情绪
在还原那场雨
这巷弄太过弯曲走不回故事里
这日子不再绿
又斑驳了几句
剩下搬空回忆的我在大房子里
电影院的座椅
隔遥远的距离
感情没有对手戏你跟自己下棋
还来不及仔仔细细
写下你的关于
描述我如何爱你
你却微笑的离我而去
这感觉 已经不对
我努力在挽回
一些些应该体贴
的感觉 我没给
你嘟嘴许的愿望很卑微在妥协
是我忽略 你不过要人陪
这感觉 已经不对
我最后才了解
一页页不忍翻阅的情节你好累
你默背为我掉过几次泪多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪你的美 我不配
