Well Done, Blacks!!

Let's start with the very beginning of the day in school...

We were in FULL BLACK. Maybe we should call ourselves "The blacks".
Met the guys @ Megabites: Where they had their lunches.

After lunches, we were headed for class. Almost running late for the 2pm class. And this happened:
"Oh, we don't need to print the slides?!" - YT
"You printed already ma.." - Mok
"No, havent finish printing ytd in the lab, remem?" - Me
"Oh, then we go print now @ the lib." - Mok

*Ya, what i wanna say is, our group forever like that - BLUR*
The previous time DM also like this. Forget this, forget that.

GH inserted his thummy in. Started to load the pages to print. Queue for the printer, bloody long! (this guy who hogged up the whole printer to print his stack of notes-as-thick-as-textbook)
Wha lao eh, can't he print in the com lab or sth?!

When we see our printed slides, stunned. 2 slides in a page. Freaking big. Not e right format. So, went to the photocopying room.
Before reachin, this's what happened:
"Shit, i left my file at com just now." - GH
so everyone proceeded into the room without him. Stood there and looked at one another, then realised the thummy was with GH. What the......

I think everyone kena the 'yating-disease'. oops....

Can see from the boys' faces, they very dejected. Like somehow a bad start. But i guess, it's ok. At least we sorted all out before our actual presentation!

We went ahead for class. LATE. All in black, super erm, dont-look-right entrance.

Anyhow, presentation was smooth. A real good process i should say. I was happy with our presentation in fact. I didnt thought we could have done so well. Not that i've no confidence in ourselves, but seriously, i thought we would do ~okay.. YAY to everyone!!!!!..........

And also, ignites ironed out all the issues after class. It's definately a good feeling. Finally. I've been holding this for sooooooo long. Finally i can get a good sleep tonight! Another Yay for myself!!!.........

Thanx for the effort "Blacks"!
Thanx for ironing out everything, Ignites!

Y Lin.

After reading Pei's blog, I feel that there's a need to clarify this:

Never wanted to put you guys down
We, did not ever wanted to put anyone down in any way. Seriously. In fact, when we were doing the proj, there're many things which we took out/left out, thinking that it might be quite hard for you guys. There are NO instances that we wanna make things difficult for you guys.

We believe in the product - Z4
Next, Z4 - a car that might not be superior in everyways, but, it's definately a head-turner. We want to target women becus, BMW has always been men's favourite, esp Z4. So, we want a market share in the women's. We didn't consider the facelifted 3 series, because of its ordinary look. And most importantly, we want to target women, who has similar characteristics of men: Power. (in this case you can say it's the masculinity factor)

Valid Research
We used forbe's research though it was based in US because, now we're comparing a genders' needs. Not age nor perception. And it is a FACT that the nation is westernizing. Hence it's not invalid.

Reality sets in
And realistically, in the society, you can discuss with the company to change its product to market, but not demand them to change it in your favour. Becus this is reality.

Your Attitudes:
I really hate to say this, but your attitudes were really bad. From the look of it, you guys did not look/sound like you are interested to resolve the difficult issues of the brief we've given you. I could say, the most objective people in your group was Sam & Nee. Neutral party - Na. Typically, J & P, i think you both weren't too nice to us. P, you remarked that our prdt/proj was "shit". This IS hurtful becus we did it with our pride, you can't say it's shit just cus you didnt believe in the product/proj. Next, j you commented that we "dug a hole so deep/big for you guys to jump in". When that thought of it has not fell on us, at all. Overall, your group looked like you're heading for a fight.
This hurting effect doubles, becus we were so good friends.

Lecturer before Us
We didnt think it was nice of you guys, to've went straight up to lecturer before coming to us. Should you have discussed with us before before consulting lecturer, we wouldnt have been that offended. To us, you went straight up to the 'boss', literally. Flashing your negativity on our projects, asking for permission to get us to change our prdt.

Not once, but twice
We put up all with it, till you guys did it again, on monday. When we thought all issues had been ironed out that previous week.
We think, it's unfair.

A post-dated issue:
All groups had chosen a brand that they wanted to do the campaign for. For example, Ben's group chosen NewUrbanMale as their proj, so, the other group will do the brief for them. However, in our case, you guys chose chose skinfood, but wanted to our brand's campaign. Leaving us clueless about skinfood, when 40% is the campaign. From the look of it, can i say that you guys are in the win-win situation?
We took your requests. Without objections, why?
Becus of your "not 1, but 2" tagline.


P.S.
I know this post is a risk of our friendships.

But i see a need to let you all know.

The above post is purely for knowledge,
not directing at anyone.

Random

I created a 'hoo-haa' ytd. By sending/forwarding that email to everyone in my group. [About Mok's email]

Well, they thought i was angry. Actually, i wasn't. Just at that moment, you just wanna 'argh!' over it, and it's over. That's all. Ha. And i wasn't really like angry or sth, i'm not that petty la!

After sch, Mok called yt regarding project issue. Probably bitch abt it. And shortly after reaching home, he came online and told me abt it (that he called yt to bitch).

Well, i typed "angry" into the space.
What i meant was why he didnt also call me to tell me the details? I wanna know! I bet through speech is clearer and definately better than msn-ing. Moreover, it's sth that's quite important to our group.

Anyhow, it's over already. Mok apologised frantically. I know he's sincere about it, so "forgiven"! (plus he wrote me a 'letter' to say sorry) Can't really find such guys around anymore. GangHao wouldnt have gone to that extend to say sorry, right hao?

P.S. "And mok, it's lady + lady, ok?"

I'm glad our group is functioning well. Like most of us are willing to put in that extra mile to 'save the world' (did i say we're gonna save the cheerleader?) - spastic.

And, I'm most happy about this:
Yating and I have done the necessary 'first-aid' over the holidays, and we're like back in JC times - A shadow of one-another. Like ODAC Alvin always say: "You see Yt, you'll see Yl. They're like shadows of each other."

I hope our proj group will keep on putting in effort like this, & if you, who're reading this, thinks you haven't been doing much, it's ok, from now on, put in more!

Y I heart you guys!!! Yay!!! Y

Machinations of the word "LOVE"

EVERY relationship has a cycle.
In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse.
You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard.
In fact, it was acompletely natural and spontaneous experience.

You didn't have to DOanything. That's why it's called "falling" in love...

Because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet."
.......
Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.
But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades.
It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone callsbecome a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts....
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marrythe right person?"

And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience withsomeone else.

This is when marriages breakdown.

People blame theirspouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage forfulfillment.
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity isthe most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work,a hobby, afriendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON;
IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.


Sustaining love is not a passive or spontaneous experience... You have to "make" it day in and day out.

That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." - Because it takes time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it takes WISDOM . You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

Destiny decides who you meet in life.
But it's your heart that decides who gets to stay in your life.

St.Valentine's Day

Yay.. My blog is being activated again..
And it's 14 Feb 08 - St.Valentine's Day!!!
We started our day with project discussion.
How boring... It's the chore that bores me, not the company.
In fact, i've to admit that i do enjoy the meetings.
Anw, I've sth in particular to blog about (thou it seems abrupt here)

Mok and Gang Hao are really an unique combi.
2 of different kinds.
Mok: Particular about getting his work done in a super neat and organised way.
Gang Hao: He practically 'chin-chyes'.
So this was what happen to their B2B minor proj when Gang Hao took it home and got the soft-copy taped behind the proj:


Can you imagine Mok's exclaimation at that instant when he saw this?!
"Wah Lao!! You no pride in your work wan leh!! Somemore the tape is sooo yellowish!!"
We all rolled into laughters!!... :D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyhow, St.Valentines Day. It's the second time we're celebrating tgt.
We went Dome for dinner. Lucky us, no queue at all!!

It was a simple and quiet V'Day for us.
But i truly enjoyed that evening..

What a gathering

It was a random 'gathering' last night.
Like different ppl from different world came tgt, for --> reunion dinner!
And there's so much things i wanna talk about!!

Getting to joyce's housie..
Ok, Mok, our driver picked us up, very sweet of him.
5 of us in the car, our proj group actually.
Eric sitting in the front passenger seat - Diligently flipping the god-damn directory.
(if only that was a text book - Woots! confirm HD!!)
We 'drifted' our way there. It was not really that far i guess, but Mok made it seemed far.
Okay, we're responsible too.
Cus we were all bad navigators.
Lousy, tsk.
While Eric kept saying:
"Aei? I think we over shot" / "Aei? Where are we?"
Mok was like swaying across the streets from land 1 - 3.
As if it was his.

Parking Attempt 1..
Yea.. Mok said he HAS to park ‘head-in’ (literally)
We were all laughing at him in the car, loudly.
Seriously, most would’ve parked ‘ass-in’.
It was all okay, until we heard “Krrrrr..”
Shoots!.. Car bumper must be cursing us (or only Mok?)
Guess what, the boot of the car is so damn out of the lot, that we forced Mok to re-park, “head-in” way.
Yea, he cursed.

Parking Attempt 2..
Mok was sooo focused on reversing, that he almost forgot about the car parked on the right side.
Everyone screamed at Mok to be careful.. ~Cold sweat~
So this time, Mok slowly reversed.
There’re like 4 ‘beepers’ (GH, Eric, Yt & me) in the car, alerting Mok on the possible danger.
I was like: “ Mok!! Full lock right, turn 1 round to left! Ok, turn right again.. Slowly!! Ok, now you’re straight, move back in this direction!!”
Finally!! Yay!!
By now, Mok was sweating, already. :P
"I feel as thou I’m driving a BMW, damn many freaking ‘sensors’ in the car!”

Situation..
Very smart, after pulling handbreak, Mok went out of the car, slamming the door behind him. (while everyone was still inside the car, staring at him)
~We were waiting for him to tear coupon!!
(What the…. )
The time tells 7.10pm, he tore 7.10pm.
(if you know what I mean)
We all felt like spanking him, hard.

Joycie place!!
Joyce, i should say, wass a great host.
Saw the way she buzzed in and out of the kitchen getting us more soup, and asking us what we needed. (super motherly)
As for preparation, Yt + Me + Joyce were like super auntie, that's what i felt.
Especially with that Gang Hao's "Yeah, that should be the way man.."
I thought i was gonna kill him.

Our Dinner.
Mok was the been-in-charge.
“Beef!!” – Mok zoomed to get it.
I think he’s one funny chap, really.
I always laugh at him. (my bad)
We only finished eating at about 9.30pm

Errr… Pictionary, anyone?
Ya, it’s my first time playing Pictionary.
I knew my drawing was bad, I just didn’t know it sucked that badly.
They kept laughing at me.
Took pictures of the drawings that I drew.
I got a feeling I’ll be seeing them somewhere, bet they’re gonna post on their blog or sth..For once, I dislike the World Wide Web.

So, i've picked out a few interesting pictures..
Check out what is this..

Ans: Telescope

Okay, and this one. Mok pointed to the animal and the house.
Sam & I was like:
"Cat!" (no)
"Dog!" (no)
When the curly tail was drawn,
"Pig!" (Mok nodded vigorously)
"Pig house!"
"Pig Home!"
"Home of Pig"
"House Pig!!"
This time, Mok couldnt take it already,
"YOUR PIG LIVES IN A HOUSE ARH??!!!!"
(he looked as thou he was having some spasm - guess that was frustration)

Ans: Pig Sty


Ans: Cobra (I thought it looked more like worm..)

Last but not least, this is the champion picture.
Sam drew it, Mok took less than a second to "bingo" it.


Ans: Kick the bucket.
(Really, what the f***?)

Love is all about these

Know what, I don't think you can look for love.
Either it comes, or it doesn't.

Love is not just all about romance and bliss,
love is also about sticking up for each other in the worst times.

Love is when you get frustrated with each other,
Love is when you you cry with each other.

Love is also about being stupid together.
Love is about laughing together.

Love is a magical thing,
that binds all races, age and religions.

You should trust,
the love that you feel.
Y
