I got it!!!

SENTOSA RETAIL INTERN

Yay. Finally i got an internship. Though it is only for a month i think its gonna be quite fun. I do hope i can learn a lot about Retailing, more than just logistics, cashiering and the normal stuff sales people do. I was actually hoping for something with more power like executing marketing plans, brainstorming of advertising and the likes but its okie. I guess even if i don't learn what i expected to, i am sure i will learn SOMETHING. I always have enjoyed meeting people so i do hope i would get to know more people who i am sure are Intersting in their own ways. Being tru to my optimistic self too, i think at least Sentosa Retail Intern doesnt sound pretty bad? It is something dear to Singapore!

I am a bit surprised that i got it actually. Well to make the story brief, 5 applied and shortlisted but only 4 could make it for the interview. 2 guys 2 girls. I knew that it will be either me or the other guy, Edmund cause girls tend to be more "marketable" salespeople. In anyways, after the group interview, i knew my chances we rather slim cause honestly , i didn't really replied to the questions as well as i wanted slash could. So i was rather indifferent at what the outcome will be. Furthermore, FURTERMORE i so dun wanna miss Raya Outing. Thought the year ONES are really fun bunch of people.

Alas, the results ala Idol, came. THe "judges" ask for Edmund to step out. And we all knew dat he didnt get it which meant i did!! It was mixed feelings for me. But it did give me a much need confidence boost after failing to get a position with Exxon Mobil which i so really wanted (esp that they are paying $1,200 a mth!!) woah rite?! damn it haha.

Okie so i got it. I'm happy. But this means i have to forego getting to know the year ones better and catching up with the other SMU malay/muslim students. :( I have yet to inform them (the year ones) dat i am not going at least not in the day. i really REALLY dun want to affect the mood ya know... Not that i am popular of course but u know when someone sorta backs out it mite kinda change the mood a bit here and there. (I am really not thinking highly of myself but just to be safe) Hmmm.. i definitely will tell Deen la. haha cause he will kind make a "fuss" out of it if i dun. haha Kiddin. THink i will tell Khai to help me tell the rest that i just got an internship and dat i am sorry that i cannot join them but hope to join them in the evening. :p


RELAKs @ SENTOSA

This is fun. Went with Izan, Jiyah (tk god she got half day) cause Hady sorta Bubbled?? blurp blurp. I had fun. i am sure the 2 girls too. WIth picture taking, playing hopscoth at the beach and also seeing their earnestly excited faces everytime we, i mean they spot a handsime *fish!! Hehe :p After dat We chill out shop at the Harborfront. Haha.. GIrls! i bought stuff too la. a wristband finally and a FIla Tee.


YUHUA SEC RAYER OUTING

Hehe. Looking forward for this. THough i made of mistake (or maybe not) to let mine be the first house. FOrgot my mom will be just home form night shift resting. Have to rely on Aunt Yam to help fry chickens.I think im gonna buy MEE. sO exciting. My first REAL jalan rayer!!! hehe :p shhh...

Really HAPPY for my lil cousin's PSLE results. SHe got 2 as and managed to go to EXPRESS stream!!! yay!! I am SO gonna make her a card. But i am sleepy now.. think i will post it to her by sunday?? Okie monday.


CHERYL'S 23 BIRTHDAY

Okie. this is bad. I got home like late. Called Grace, couldnt contact her. Damn its so terrible to be without a mobile. :( Used SIs phone to sms but to no avail. I am not sure how it will be like tommorrow. I wanted to meet at abt 6pm or later cause i have jalan rayer too. If grace can't make it i am afraid it will be postponed? Poor Sua.

Overnight in smu

Glad im finally starting on my MR revision. AM in school now with the malay freshies. Real fun bunch. Miss Deen and Syahriel and Taufiq though (hassan too). Anyway, Khai is wathing some comedy, Khairul on FIFA PC i think, Putra studyin, both Firdhaus slleping on the floor.. and Dahlia left already.. (she was here only for a short while)

Im motivated to study for MR (think its actually interesting esp the Attitude Measurement Part.)

Good luck to me!

All set to study for the exams!

Yay! My last presentation (Strategic Brand Managment) for the term is finally over!! now i can start studying for my only exams- Marketing Research cause i dropped BP earlier afftet my shock with the mid term paper. (hmmm i wonder how badly i actually got)

Anyway, i am quite sure i wun do that well for my 3 courses this term. SBM was fun but i REALLY could have spoken up more during classes and presentations. As for New Product Development, guess homany classes i've missed and was grossly late for?? its like at least 3 occasions each. But thats not the worse thing, the final presentation really turn out bad. We didnt manage to apply the latest concepts taught cause all the other 3 grp members was absent for almost all the classes after our interim.. so it would take a LOT of effort if i have done it myself. Furthermore, i am not the confrontational, pushy type so i didnt bear to tell them to read the slides and articles and asked them to apply it. Maybe i'll change after this. Perhaps i'll finally stop being such a nice guy and become less process oriented to a goal oriented, demanding jerk?? haha.

My only hope is MR. Hopefully if i am not distracted by MSN, MIRC or my other unthinkable pursuits i could eventually get an A minus. I really hope that i wun get all Bs this term.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

29 more days to go!

Kool man.

One day of the month of Ramadhan is gone but we still have 29 more days to go! Yay man. So its 29 more days of visiting and feasting!! Talk about feasting i think i am gonna be fatter in no time with such glutonny amidst all the good food around. I think i must have ate a total of 5 kg of food/drinks/cookies just today!! haha... so much for my vision of a bod like Julian Hee? haha! Like always, my procrastination is my major obstacle in achieving my targets and such! :( haha.

I think i am really a quiet person especially at home. I am not that chatty with my relatives compared to my friends. It'll be nice if i could be more hcatty though.. it'll be fun.. maybe one day?

Anyway, i am now getting set to prepare for TWO of my project presentation. (TUes and Wed) I have 2 meetings in school on later: on a public holiday that i am celebrating!! haha. Well hmmm, if i see this in a positive light, at least attending them will make me stay away from FOOD for at least 8 hours (my meeting starts at 10 and another at 3 and ends at 6)

Okie, i better get back to work!

Regards,
Fuzz

Lost time is timed Lost

Catching up on lost time eh? Hmm.. i never really thought of that expression till recently.

Just yesterday when i attempted to only take 2 hours of nap after not sleeping, doing my marketing research project and failed to wake up for my 8.30am class (yet again!), i realized that one can never really catch up on lost time. I failed yet again to attend my New Product Development class. It was my final class before our 35% final presentation 2 thursdays from now.

Sigh, i was so excited to wear my baju kurung for class. and hopefully get the look from those exchange students. or maybe even a question or two from Even the locals. I doubt they have much clue that Hari Raya is just around the corner! hehe. So its kinda my responsibility to spread the malay culture to already vibrant SMU! (esp my post as asst cultural head in MLCC!!) Just for the record, the thing i like most about my outfit was definitely my Super Nice Cool Capals aka tradtitional sandals! It is thie beige brown slightly heeled (read: slightly) thingge that has nice flowery yet not charismatic design. SO its kinda complements myself? haha.

Okie, back to the Lost Time. Now, i could no longer showcase my culture in my final class which i missed. I could not go back in time to have attended that class while at the same time try to complete my MR part before my meeting. I could not have catch up on the lost time when i took more than a 2hr nap! So point is lost time is lost. Although my depression is over, and my 2 week of rendezvous-ing and not paying attention to my assignments. i am now paying for lost time. Actually no, im paying for my lack of discipline. yes. Eventhough i am cathing up on work quite well, lost time is timed lost because i can only sleep less now. So in a way lost time kinda haunts u for losing it. its like a curse. The curse of Faz's Lost time. ooohh..

Nevertheless, i AM grateful. grateful that although it haunts but only affect my passion for sleeping. haha. i am really full of crap now. (must be the work of the ghost of LT)

dear LT, may you Rest In Peace. God Bless.

Amen,
Faz
