Is that so?

Has anyone told you that you're wasting 4 hours each day of your life?

And they say, the best way to stop wasting time, is to fill up all your free time.

And they also said,



"Trees, stop looking at them. You're wasting time!"

I see.

What, walking past a lake without even looking at it?

Looking out of the window to see weather not the scenery?

Go to the window and stare at the sky is wasting time, you say?

Well, I don't think so.

Because I'm not the kind of person who doesn't look out of the window.

"Look up,
I look up at night,
planets are moving at the speed of light,
climb up,
up in the trees,
every chance that you get is a chance you seize."

Wednesday - 020909

I stayed longer then usual in college today. Philosophy class ended so late, and lunch was 25 minutes later than expected (Sha, Lucas, Nik and me). Poor Nik had to wait for so long for us.

We went to our usual place for lunch. When we were back at college, this MYC! thingy people bugged us to join the contest, can win cash and a trip to Gold Coast, Australia.

So what we had to do was filling in some contest form, stating what's our talent/achievement, then go take 2 pics with a Ribena cardboard.

Here are some of your MYC! Ribena Sparkling M.A.D models "wannabe"s.

For more photos from other people, see here --> MYC!

Yours truly,


Nik,


Lucas,


Joan,


Usha,


The best part of it was not dragging that "camera-shy" Sha to take pic, was kacau-ing those "Ribenas".

Not sure what I mean?



If you say Nik kick them in the ass is cruel enough to them, how about asking them to touch their nose with their hands, like what Sha did.


"If you can't touch your nose, why not let me do it for you." - Sha

We then hung out the rest of the day at 9th floor. It's no longer the library anymore, more like a place to chill now. And I'm serious.

Signing out.

Ciao.

This song is stuck in my head, thank you very much.
"I'm superficial,
it's all that I know.
I'm not sure,
I've got the strength to begin,
to let you see in between all the rest of me,
trapped behind 20 years of skin."

Yes, long time no see

Only less than 2 person knows what I've been up to the past few days.

Someone even asked me today, "Where have you been?"




Internet is indeed an interesting stuff.

I stopped blogging for few days.

I stopped tweeting for few days.

I stopped going on MSN for few days.

And a few friends already told me this:

"Long time no see"

Walked past the piano room this morning and heard someone playing this song,
it was amazing.
"Our favorite place we used to go,
the warm embrace that no one knows,
the loving look that's left your eyes,
but I know in time we'll find this was no surprise."

The start of Fall Semester '09

Damn that stupid new time slots.. Now I have to wake up at 7. "Saggy" really thinks we gonna appreciate this new time slots. Dumb as ever.

Okay anyway. Classes today was pretty much dreadful. Both classes started lessons =.=

I've still got a little dizzy in the head walking around looking like a ghost. Jumped out and scared the hell out of Chelsie from the back early in the morning, yeah I enjoyed that very much XD

Not sure want to look forward to the rest of the semester.. This is what I always say every new semester starts. Hahaha. Oh well, just see how the rest of the week goes first.

Hey sunshine, missed you



It's 1.30am

Yeah, I'm staying up late again.

While watching The Day The Earth Stood Still in my room,

I fell asleep on the sofa. For 3 hours. Nuff said.


Can't remember when was the last time I saw the sunset. Stayed indoor too long. Even when I'm stuck at home, my Lenny is my only companion.

Fun night out last night. With Fi, Shen, Ambrose, Alice, Keith who joined us for foosball last minute =) We went to 3 different places, Taipan (I've never eaten a yellow murtabak before) - SS2 Williams (damn, their Lasagna is good!) - SS15 Rack Cafe (foosball). Hope Ambrose's interview @ Air Asia went well. Watched Keith drawing for his assignments, very niceee.

And I'm wondering what to do for tomorrow. My mountain bike is no longer useful. No one asked me out, randoms please ;)

B'day dinner with family at Bubba Gumps tonight, can't wait for the food! Sis is back from campus, stressed out with all her assignments, I guess she knows what I'm going through now XD

Nights and after nights of suppers, made me crave for food now. Desserts from Snowflake, Enrich Chocolate, kaya butter toast, Choc milkshake, teh tarik, pancakes are on my mind. I think I'm hungry. lol

Helping Rachel to vote for her Rexona K-Queen contest ;D

Third Eye Blind's upcoming album Ursa Major is awessooommmmmmmeee!

"Tomorrow, well that's another day,
Come on baby now,
what do you say,

let's take our love,
one night at a time."

Successful planning is never easy

Few days ago, I was having this conversation with a friend on the phone. He was telling me about in one of an organization, which name I refuse to reveal, the chairperson's mission is completely different with the company's CEO's, but both of their objectives/planning are the same. One question pops in my head. I used to think that miscommunication and lack of teamwork are the assassins of successful planning, but this, is even worse. And I don't know how does the company survived until now.

Tell me what's worse, the problems come from the committees/employers themselves, or, the problems started with the powerful people up there? Correct me if I'm wrong, what I have said and that I am going to say are my humble opinions.

What's the point of continuing planning an event or anything for a company, when two of the most powerful people at the top has different aims/missions?
What do they actually aim for throughout the whole event?

Like what always happen in many club and societies. Lack of teamwork, miscommunication, lack of experience, etc always kill the success of planning events. Everytime post-mortem negative feedbacks are more than positives. Shows that there are still plenty of us to learn and overcome them.

One factor why the mistakes of event-planning sometimes are repeated over and over again. During post-mortem, around me, there are many people who not willing to accept criticism. Participants gives negative feedback, or complain, and how the event organizers & planners react to it? No they don't keep quiet, they don't ignore it, they don't laugh and brush it off like that.. Even worse, they shoot back at the participants, then continue babbling about how bad is the participant(s). I always see this around me, I'm quite sick of it.

Try asking successful people like Tony Fernandez, the CEO of Air Asia, how he develop the whole company and what he had to overcome or achieve to go this far. Which is what I am going to do if I have a chance to meet him in person.

Please feel free to drop comments if you have any opinions. These are just what I think. Well, you have the right to express yourself after all, right?
