Go0d Lo0kInG oR n0t
i had a mix opinion of my looks over the past years, some say im gd lookin, some say im not... it kinda bothered me for awhile.. but after some time.. i decided tt i shall see myself as an average person..
(ohhh btw... things in november ar jus too borin.. lolzz.. no lahz.. i'll bloggg abt it some other time..)
i had quite a few occasions when im hangin out wif different grps of friendz at the same time.. and suddenly one grp of friendz pulled me over and ask me y i hanggg out wif them... they look so different and so deviant from the society.. in short... they tink tt i should hanggg ard and stick to a certain kind of demographic..
wat i felt is tt i would like to hanggg ard wif ppl who had strong characters and strong personalities.. and instead of judging on their looks.. i like to hanggg ard wif them becoz they ar nice... they ar generous.. they ar loving etc etc... these ar the ppl who has bigg characters and biggg personalities..
on the other hand.. i've seen so mani pretti faces who ar so full of themselves and full of ego.. who tinks tt they ar the best amongg the grp and no one else seems better than them except for the top models and celebrities.. dun get me wrongg.. i had a few friendz who did modelling and all tt stuff and yet they still spend time wif their own grp of friendz and ppl who they ar realli close to for all these yrs.. but there's some ppl who jus wan 2 b seen and known..
even in a small sch like IMI... there ar ppl who ar like tt.. there ar some of them who ar even touchy.. and tink tt they ar realli pretty and wanted to go for these gorgeous guys.. but when it comes to work and a test of character... everythin jus fall to the ground... to call them "bimbotic" is already a discount.. let alone to describe them in a true meanin..
for me.. i would choose to receive the compliment of "u provide realli gd service to us as an hotelier" rather than "u ar realli gd lookin..." besides.. im already immune to the "gd-lookin" comment as there is absolutely no effects of anyone sayin tt to me.. in some cases.. i would treat it as a scheme to do them a favour.. lolzz..
good looks won't last 4eva.. character will.. some ppl jus gotta learn tt when they choose their partners.. they always say love is blind.. those ppl who always judge by looks should realli hav their eyes gorged out.. man..

THREE MAJOR THINGS
firstly let me announce... i am officially going to Jamaica to work as a management trainee at sandals resorts.. initially i was thinkin abt goin to China or Hong Kong or even Taiwan to do my internship... but chances were bleak as wat i heard was tt the payyy is low and the working positions are not wat i desired... furthermore... most hotels in asia ar lookin for senior mgt positions to fill up the new htls tt ar openin.. esp in china...
as such... i tot of goin backkk to find a job.. mayb as a sales assistant or some back-end hotel job.. but mani htls hav management trainee programmes offered... i hav signed up for them and they did not get backkk to me... i am so worried if i could not find a job appropriately...
then i rem the career talk programme tt was held last mth where a placement company offered to place us at the carribean for a nominal fee.. i was rather curious abt it.. phone up and rang my folks and told me to go for it.. as i enquire abt the company's services... they told me it was a cross dept management training job for 5-24 mths.. wif tt.. i decided to go ahead wif the application.. also hav consulted my church leaders and friendz and they gave the support.. wif tt.. i will be officially headin to the country earli next yr...
the second thing is my participation of the school's honors society, Eta Sigma Delta.. unlike an alumni.. the honors society networks wif highhh performing students from a similar industry sch and industries leaders and they come to meet once in a yr for a conference appointed by the overall president.. commercially... its like a union membership..
dun get me wrongggg... im jus an average student.. but im gladdd to be accepted in this society.. its my honor.. lolzz
the criteria to get into the society is tt the student mus b hav an average grade of 62 for all subjects and mus b the top 20% of the cohort for undergraduates... thank God i got 63.. lolzz.. jus nice to get in.. to put it simply.. instead of a dean's list.. its like a dean's social networking association.. except the criteria is top 20% instead of top 5%... lolzz
so the chapter head... aka my lecturer told us tt the benefit of this society is the social networking uses it has and also on graduation each of us will receive a gold honor cord and a collar pin... wowww!!! cant wait hahahahhah
the next major thing... although its not does not impact me largely... it means a little something to me... but the process we gone thru was huge though..
it was the food and beverage concept and theme our group of 11 ppl proposed for our coursework.. as our sch has a mock restaurant set up for students.. we ran the whole operation of tt mock restaurant tt nite and it was simply awesome.. i was in charge of serving one longgg table and i flopped initially by spilling some drinks.. after tt the service was ok as the operations ran smoothly thereafter..
but wat realli made a difference tt nite was this..
"zw.. u ar realli a gddd server!! u provided us gddd service!!!"
i could not 4get how they filled up the feedback form heapin praises of the service tt i offered to them as a waiter.. i had no prior service experience at any food establishments.. not even in mcdonalds.. and yet to get such complements from my friends (so-called customers..) the greenhorn is absolutely flattered..
the final part of my adventure in IMI will come in the nxt entry..

ToMoRrOw
(further updates of my switz life will be on my next entry... till then.. i guess u should read this.. lolzz)
and after tomolo.. i'll not b touchin any sort of text books.. at least for some yrs or so.. when i graduated from poly... i had text books in the army for my medic course.. and even though i did not become a medic.. the time span tt i did not study was onli abt 2-3 yrs... this time... it will be longer.. dependin on the level of my work...
who noes wat will happen?? alot of things i hav been ponderin upon.. abt life.. abt the future... abt work and so on... i noe everyone thinks abt tt.. and im already pretty accustomed wif the workin life in the industry.. but there's always unknown which is always overshadowing my thoughts...
ohhh... b4 i 4got.. let me announce wat exactly will happen tomolo..
MY FINAL EXAMINATION SUBJECT..
ok backkk to my thoughts...
i hav seriously thought about it.. i would go for my masters degree definitely... but not veriii soon.. mayb like the rest of the singaporeans... work for abt 5 yrs b4 enrollin into masters programme... and most likely i'll NOT take hospitality... probably business.. so tt i can bail myself out of this industry tt always fails to pay well in a longgg run...
well i guess tt's it for now... i've nv been so enthusiastic in studyin but since this will be my last paper.. i'll giv my best shot... giv it all tt i've got~!!!

BaCk t0 pUbLiC
yes... the bloggg is finally backkkk 2 public.. all readers will not hav 2 log into their own acc anymore..
well somethin interestin hit me 2dae.. we were actualli told to select a country or state and find out the investment plans the local authorities had to offer.. after discussing for awhile.. the grp decided on choosing sichuan, one of the western provinces in china.. there's quite a few information on the economic devlopment and the investment plans they had for foreign companies to invest..
then i suddenly rem in class tt i had done a similar study on this b4 when i was in poly while i was takin the elective on biz mandarin and there hav been case studies and examples on the western development programme.. i started to rem some things tt i hav learnt and came across backk then to make the whole mini project make sense..
surprisingly.. jus now while i was in my room readin a little more abt sichuan.. my music randomly played sun's "bu diao ling de hua", a songz tt he sang for the kids and the ppl tt had suffered massively from the earthquake some time last yr.. and then my heart became soft.. not onli am i convinced on the development plans tt they hav.. i also felt quite abit for the ppl.. they hav been thru alot in this earthqualke..
most likely the earthquake has somehow affected the progress of china's western development programme.. however i do believe tt investors should take into account of the ppl who suffered from the earthquake and continue supportin these communities and pour in the investments..

My m0sT ChAoTiC DrEaM... EvEr
i dun realli rem dreams... but when i rem one.. it was drastic..
recently i kept havin bad dreams... vivid dreams abt me being backkk in singapore.. but last nite... it was super super ultimate.. it went so baddd tt i wish tt it would not happen again..
i ended up in jurong.. where i claimed i saw my classmates and one of them found a job in a kindergarden.. then i was like, "how did i ended up here??" i ran past into a few blocks hopin 2 get 2 the main road... then i tot 2 myself, "wait... if im able 2 get here.. i'll b able 2 get home!!"
then i try 2 search and search for the buses 2 go home.. but suddenly its late at nite i ended up in lavender... and then i tot 2 myself again... "wait.. i tot i was in switzerland.. wat happen?? y am i here??" i became rather confused.. i was happi tt im backk in singapore.. but at the same time i was worried becoz "im supposed 2 b in switzerland"...
then i started 2 panick.. i tot 2 myself again.. "WAIT!!! im supposed 2 b sleepin in switzerland.. im not supposed 2 b here?? how can i get backk again?? an air ticket backkk 2 switz its costly!! im onli in the middle of the semester!! i should not b here!!" and then i tink again, "WAIT!! I KNOW I'M SLEEPING~~!!!"
and then.. i woke up.. tried 2 look at my watch.. it was too dark and i cannot see anythin.. i heaved a huge sigh of relieve..
and i realized how much i had missed sg..
