Major Marketing Assignment

Is it any wonder why I do not like Marketing? It has to do with all the planning and marketing mix thingys...cis...I have to finish up and hand up the assignment next wed, and I am still struggling...I feel pity for my group members for having such a lousy group leader who doesn't know what to do...that's me. =(

Why am i finding it so hard? Because the information we need is supposedly classified, so we can't find it anywhere online...that's what Ron says...and its so hard just to look for the manager of proton kuching branch..I don't know if I can handle this...I think I'm going into shock...

What Is Your Life Path Number?

Your Life Path Number is 6

Your purpose in life is to help others

You are very compassionate, and you offer comfort to those around you.
It pains you to see other people hurting, and you do all in your power to help them.
You take on responsibility, and don't mind personal sacrifice. You are the ultimate giver.

In love, you offer warmth and protection to your partner.

You often give too much of yourself, and you rarely put your own needs first.
Emotions tend to rule your decisions too much, especially when it comes to love.
And while taking care of people is great, make sure to give them room to grow on their own.

What European City Do You Belong In?

You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town.

blog problem

Sometimes I get really sien with blogger...cis...I always try to upload some pictures, but most of the time can only upload 5 at the most..is there some unwritten rule about uploading more than 5 pics that I don't know about???? I just get so fed up!!! What can I do to upload more pics?!?

Summor I really stress these past few days...I have accounting test on Thursday, microeconomics test on Friday, and have to hand up QA assignment on Friday afternoon..but luckily our QA lecturer took pity on us and decided that we can hand up our assignments next Monday...God bless the kind heart of Madam Seibu *kow tow* =)

Since I'm here, I want to pose a question to the guys reading this (and girls also, if you deem it necessary to reply or share your opinion)...Note: This is a rethorical question. I just want to know your views..If you DO reply, please reply honestly.

Q - Suppose you like this girl. Naturally, you would do anything within your reach to get her, yea? Like buy her stuff, or call her, or whatever you guys do to get girls lar..okie? Then, let's say that after much hard work and investment (on time, money, petrol..etc..), you get the girl you so desire..Initially, you would still go on in life lovey dovey with your newly 'acquired' gf, yea? Then over time, as you carry on the normal niceties in life and get more settled into your stable relationship with your gf, would you still treat her the same? Or would you sort of like, take her for granted? Like, since you guys have already reached that level of stability with your gf, you already know that she really loves you, wouldn't cheat on you, etc.., would you go on in your work and stuff and focus less on the relationship?

I asked two of my friends, and both of them said yes, they would. When questioned further, one of them explained that when they are more settled in the relationship, they tend to focus less on the relationship..it's like something that's just.....there. Most of the guys don't realise that they actually have to WORK TO MAINTAIN that relationship..guys are like that by nature...hmmm...I'm still wondering..

What do you think?????

Malaysian Law

Do you know...

That the new Malaysian Government recently passed a ruling that from this moment on, you are not supposed to name your offspring any name that brings other meaning...like, fruits, months of the year, colour, crystals, so on and so forth.
Which basically translates that you can't name your offspring Amber, Apple, June, Crystal, etc..
This is meant to decrease the level of misunderstanding when telling the imbeciles who put your name on the birth cert.
Which means to translate that, malays are also not allowed to give names that have other meanings, like Abu (Ash), Bakar (Burn), Hadiah (Present), Selamat (Safe), Ayu (Beautiful), etc..

so what does this mean????? at the expense of 'punishing' us with all our unique names, they are indirectly killing their names database. I don't mean to annoy all the malays out there, i'm just talking about a small minority that make up our government. sorry if your annoyed. and if you're STILL annoyed after my apology, whatever makes you happy. I'm just stating what I feel.

PM's son-in-law wants to have the rotation concept with regards to Penang's CM. He want Kho Tsu Khoon to step down, and let malays rule. His reason is because in Penang, the Malays are being discriminated. with all the jobs going to Chinese, and Malays with no jobs. If you want to talk about that, lets look at the universities in Semenanjung...They are all racial!!!! what do you have to say to that???

In the end, Najib(Vice PM) said, NO ROTATION!!! Kho Tsu Khoon is the CM, and that's that. I like him =)

p/s: My hubby's coming back in 5 days!!!!! I'm so excited!!! I can finally see him...

my new hair

I became a hair model....for Alan Salon...I got dragged by Arlyne..hehe...and the hair cut is for free.

But I. DO. NOT. LIKE. IT. It made me look like some idiot who just dropped off from Mars or something...my mom apparently wasn't too happy either...in her words: "ka na kau ka ane.." that's in hokkien. Translated, it means, 'macam digigit anjing'..cis..and that was on Friday. today is Monday, and she's still saying the same thing..she will never let me live it down..*sigh*

I mean...its ok la..from the front. Not the back. The back looked like I have two tails, and it;s cut sengeted..like the person who cut dono how to use ruler...I'm thinking of going to try to salvage it this afternoon..ask my hairdresser to see what she can do...and my Leadership Award ceremony is this month!!! Imagine going up to the podium with one big glop of something undistinguishable-but-is-supposed-to-be-your-hair on your head..

Ron and Shariman says it's ok..Kyra and Yin Chiak loved it, Edith asked me to tie it up, Lilian asked me to try to salvage it, and Wei Khee preferred my previous hairstyle...who should I believe?

marketing woes...

I broke down...

Yesterday was our marketing concept lecture with scary edith lim..
she was talking about our minor assignment, and those that sent in through attachment will automatically get 0 marks. hearing this, I got scared, cos i sent in a hard copy as well as a soft copy to her through the school's blackboard. So after the lecture, I went to see her and told her what I did, and she scolded me stupid.

She said when she was at Australia, she went to see the subject convenor, and he's a very strict man. since i sent in a copy through the blackboard, automatically, he can also see my assignment. Since he's worse than her, the chances of me getting a pass is VERY slim..if he fails me, and she passes me, i will still get a fail..

I worked so hard on the assignment..I didn't sleep for so many days, and this happens..added with the way edith lim told me, in that harsh insensitive way of hers..

I broke down...there's no other way to put it..all because of my stupidness..i thought to send her that soft copy as a safety measure in case she didn't recieve my hard copy..

Stupid idiotic person that I am...

I hate myself...

MEN

Caroline Bong sent me this email..I read it, and I thought of how true it is.. Girls should read this and learn from it, and guys should read this and realize that girls are not TOYS to play with.

a new week..

today marks the beginning of week five, in my term here at swinburne. I have two assignments due before the mid sem break. I was just doing my QA questions, and i realized that what i learnt in form six is useless. heh..and the chapter we're on now in QA is probability..cis..I have forgotten what I have studied in form six.. what uselessness... the question goes someting like this...

"if there is at least one person queueing up at the counter, what is the preobability that there are four or more people queueing up?" what the?!?!?!!

hehe...so lets talk about something different..like...Dancesport..there was a practice session last saturday, but I didn't go, cos I forgot about it..and my china-man went..cis..This Ronnie..he didn't remind me..=/ but I guess I have no one to blame but myself, since I'm such a forgetful person..I wonder how I'll survive to graduate..

National Day came and went, and my parents decided to go and 'menikmati' the celebration up close and personal..so there we were, pushing and shoving with the millions of people there, and we missed the whole thing. Cos there was so many people present, that we simply couldn't push our way to the front.

Well, we usually don't go for the national day parade, but since it's a once in a lifetime kinda thing, we decided to go..hehe...erm..we mainly went for the floats lar..there were quite a number of impressive floats though..but i'm sad to say that Swinburne's float wasn't so impressive. And they shared the float with Curtin!! Their arch-enemy..or so Miss Edith Lim says.. the float totally belies their status as a technology university..so sad...

ARLYNE'S BACK!!!!!!!! hehe..but i have yet to meet her..Calista's back too!!!!! can't wait to go play badminton with the gang again!!!!hehe...I'm so excited!!!!
