Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

~ William Shakespeare

it's strange.

how i always find myself drawn to this particular quote (from Hamlet) when i am looking at the works of Shakespeare. it's just ... beautiful.

oh Shakespeare, why did u not define what love is?

was deciding what to wear and from the corner of my eye, i caught this tee hiding snugly amidst the many tees : ) i used to like this tee alot but now it is neglected. i shall wear you soon! : )

boys are stupid, throw stones at them : )

explain to me again why i need a boyfriend? : )

guess what i have for breakfast today? : )

no prize for guessing it right! lol~

hotcakes oh hotcakes, why are u so sweet and yummy? i cant take my eyes off you :) u r my all time favorite and i will never grow sick of (eating) you! i love u!



hang on there peeps! it'll be over before u even know it yeah? : ) enjoy the process! love the books and they will love you. knowledge is priceless. okie, i am motivated today! : )

summer the hotcake queen. i'm lovin' you.

macdondalds is officially my second home and i am a permanent resident of the cosy little space near the toilet : )

today is a fruitful day and i find myself enjoying the process of reading the readings. lol~ i have to add that this doesn't come everyday so today is a good day! : ) i am proud of myself *beams*

after mugging for close to 6 hours, i decided that my small lil brain could no longer process any more information and the heart prevails over the mind so TADAH ... i find myself in Parkway in less than a minute! lol~





i ended up with this black dress which i thought is a long term investment since i can wear it for my vacation work at ernst & young. okie, i know, i always rationalize and justify my purchase by telling myself that all dresses are long term investments. muahahaha~ nvm, i shall eat grass for the next 3 days cos' this dress is expensive. that buying decision somehow made me happy but with a tinge of guilt added in. sighhhhhhhh~ i am not only a hotcake queen, i am a hotcake + shoppin' queen.

i'm depressed all of a sudden.

alright, i am going back to mac to mug. i feel like a nerd. i'm nerdified.

today's paper was .. hmmm .. a disaster i think. i really couldn't make out what i'm writing and my thoughts are haphazard and running all over the place so i presume my points are incoherent and messy. sigh~ i could have done better and knowing that i have not done my best, i am disappointed with myself. but well, all is not lost, i still have 3 more papers to make up for it : ) it's not time to wallow in self-pity but rather, it's time to move on.

on a serious note, i really need to focus and get back on track especially during this critical period. i know i can do this and i really wanna do well, at the very least maintain my standing and not deviate too far from it : ) jia you!

having said that, i shall hit the books! : ) everyone pls take care and not fall sick yeah? suddenly i miss my hotcakes. this is so random, lol~ and today mw is very funny, his good luck msg goes like this, " ... hotcake queen!" and i broke into laughter! i am famous, for hotcakes! muahahaha~

when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. (and after that they go shopping!) *winks

my first elective paper starts tomorrow and it's an evening paper - 5pm to 7pm.

time check: 1.45pm and i am still @ the second chapter, slow but steady! right now as i am typing this entry, i am preparing to migrate to mac to study and no, no more hotcakes for me! loL~ if i work @ mac, does it mean i will have free hotcakes for breakfast everyday? *winks. i shall seriously consider forwarding my resume to mac and when they ask me why i wanna join mac, i will reply with a sheepish smile and admit that it's only for their free hotcakes that i'm joining them! lol~ i have a weird fetish, for hotcakes. i will finish studying and memorizing by tonight (hopefully!) and tomorrow i have time to revise and look through my notes prior to the paper : ) surprisingly, i am not feeling jittery. in fact, i cant wait for tomorrow to come, for two reasons : )

alright, may the power of the lucky pens be with me, and also with all of u! jia you! wo men xing de! : )

i am a full time blogger and a part time student : ) i find myself blogging ever so frequently when exams are just round the corner! so unusual, since i should be spending my precious time mugging, no? oh well, i am just plain lazy. really CAN'T WAIT FOR 28 Nov to come. half of me wants to start my vacation work with Ernst & Young, another half just wish to go for a short getaway, away from this sunny island, away from everything.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. To ensure that i don't end up msn-ing and blogging, i heed songyi's advice to hide my laptop in my WARDROBE! lol~ it's effective! cos' there's inertia to take the laptop out from the wardrobe and set up all the stuff again. lol~ it's almost like a deterrence and it proves to be quite useful cos' it helps me abstain from the evil msn and stop me from blogging. heh. thank you songyi for the ingenious advice! it works! : )


yes, i know it's messy but i don have a choice! too many things, too little space! i needa walk-in wardrobe next time, i'm serious! lol~


this caramel corn tastes surprisingly good *yum yum* even dale likes it! : ) can you see how bored i am? and when i am bored, i take silly pictures like this.



alright, i shall be good and continue my mugging session. i don like CAO, cos' of their misdeeds and wrong doings, i have to study their 30+ pages of readings! *pulls hair* they do wrong things and it's the students that suffer the most! poor us! lol~

today is a happy day : ) and my best friend just dated me out for my bday treat! she still loves me. but we gotta adjourn our date till after our exams and don worry, i am understanding, you just have to buy me a strawberry shortcake to make up for it! lol~ just kidding. i wanna spend more time with you gerl! meanwhile, mug real hard ya? and .. I MISS YOU DEARLY!

in this world, there is no place i rather be.

i had HOTCAKES AGAIN today! i'm lovin' it : ) i'm really hopelessly and ridiculously in love with HOTCAKES. hotcakes are the greatest thing on the face of this earth, whoever came up with hotcakes, you must be a genius (in my dictionary of cos')! i am publicly declaring my love for hotcakes can u believe it! muahahah~ : )

after a happy & hearty meal, we went over to mos burger to mug but we were engaging in heart-to-heart girly talks half the time. but the other half was concentrated on drawing mindmaps and finding linkages between all the chapters so i consider it productive! *beams* ah zi has a secret (bu nen shuo de mi mi) and she threatens to spill the beans cos' my secret is in her hands as well. lol~ ah zi is so e-v-i-l, but she is my bestest girlfriend in university. they say u don have to have many friends, just one good one is enough and i'm so glad i found u girl! : ) we will take pictures again when u don have bad hair days kk? u r such a vainpot but i love u the same! heh.















my wish is granted! i've my strawberry shortcake and fruit cake and i'm contented. heh. i really don't think i can survive without my weekly dose of cakes and hotcakes and cookies. and .. thank u ah zi for the bday treat @ sketches. next time, it'll be my turn. love u dear! : )

as childish as it might seem, i always believe in having a LUCKY PEN for exams. By lucky pen, i mean a NEW pen which will hopefully bring me luck during exams. This "lucky pen" concept stays with me from secondary school and even up till now, i still believe in it. Thank you for the ridiculously pink and bimbotic lucky pen, i love it to bits! : ) i know i'm childish and superstitious but i silently believe it will really bring me luck! i dont know about you, but i think it does wonders! heh. i love my lucky pens, thank you : )



baby steps.

i think the pictures (below) are pretty self explanatory so i shall not go into the details yeah : ) it's been long, terribly long, since we last had a dinner like the one we had yesterday. secretly in my heart i miss all the weekly and monthly dinner affairs we used to have. be it just a simple pizza delivery or a simple dinner @ the nearby coffee place, i enjoyed all of them just as much, really.

i miss home-cooked food. i haven't had home-cooked food for the past 15 years of my life? lol~ opps, sorry i digressed. here are the pics! : )

































: ) i'm all smiles *beams

happy early birthday to mee!

thank you songyi, yongyi, skyline, jason & chaoxing for the early birthday wishes : ) thanks for remembering! *happy

birthday during exams is boring. cant even afford the time to celebrate properly without even thinking about books. the opportunity cost is too great at this moment but.. but.. it's an annual affair and i am only given 24 hours! heh.i really don like : (

the weather is so nice today to just sleep in, laze around in bed and with a book in hand, i just wanna spend my afternoon reading and drifting off to sleep. why is reading storybook and textbook so different? lol~

my sweet tooth is acting again. i have a sudden craving for fruit cake and strawberry shortcake! i cant wait to own my own bakery and see my childhood dream come to past. *sugar high*

alrighty, i shall devote some time to reading my storybook cos' 205 gets boring after awhile : )

study hard people!

sugar spice and everything nice.

andy tagged me this photo on facebook. how time flies. i miss all my friend suddenly.

From this moment, I'm gonna transform into a full time mugger! lol~ went over again to Mac to study but half the time, I'm messaging and eating and drinking and snacking and taking pictures and doing anything and everything, but studying! : ) nvm, ah zi says she is also progressing at snail's pace and we decide that we hate exams so much that we are gonna quit school together! obviously, we are kidding! heh. but that thought did come to mind once in a while thou, i really cant wait to step into the corporate world! fast forward the time please.











bumped into glenda and peng @ Best Denki and i feel so : ) for them, they look really good together! blissfully in love! stay this way ya! : )

early bird-day treat today and the food is yummy-licious! thank you! : )

it's time to hit the books again, i'm a full time mugger remember? *winks

i hate AA205 and all the readings. thank you for always being so nice.

had a nice dinner with meimei, it's really nice to sit down and just have a simple dinner together. no restaurant or fanciful dishes, but i'm happy just having a simple dinner with her. laughing at our silly jokes and taking silly pictures like the one here.





i swear the omelette is falling from the plate when she was taking that pic! muahahah~ and ppl at the other tables were staring at this weird alien! *wicked laugh* and as usual, we fought with our lives to pay for the food like we always do. : ) thank you mei, at least u made my day a tad better : )

what happened to happily ever afters?

my first online shopping attempt - FAILED. lol~ the bag i really like is outta stock : ( to think i waited sooooo long for the pretty bag and had to walk away in disappointment. *upset & disappointed* sighhhh.. nothing seems to be going well today, what a lousy day!

there's a tendency for me to gorge myself with lotsa snacks whenever i'm feeling blue, upset and stressed. heh. went grocery shopping yesterday and these are my ALL TIME FAVORITE! i have a soft spot for sweet stuff and it helps me chase me my blues away. i'm can't help feeling upset : (









*deep sigh*

"Hello, this is XXX here. Hope the scenario thingy was good for you yesterday. Somehow I found our earlier assessors for the individual case presentation nicer. Haha"

Seven of us went through the Shell Recruitment Day together yesterday and one of them from SMU managed to find me on facebook, added me and sent me the above message. We had the same accessors for our individual case presentation as well as for our business scenario interview lol~ Facebook makes the world smaller, and closer. and i think if they were to benchmark me with him, i will fade in comparison cos' i think he's good, real good. he can even tell you the forex exchange rate anytime, to four decimal places! i can only tell you how much a dress will most probably cost, up to two decimal places! lol~

alright, i am crawling back to bed. today is not a good day : (

simple truth that isn't really simple at all. period.

truth that hurts.

thank you mingwei, ah zi, lynda and everyone who messaged me early this morning to give me the luck I need for the recruitment day today : ) i'm awfully touched.

I survived! I survived!!!!!!

Bye bye to strategies, stakeholders, objectives, global outlook, corporate social responsibility, social investment, renewables and all other related terms, i am gonna put these at the back of my mind for now. I have been regurgitating all the facts relating to all the above-mentioned concepts for the three case studies today.

The most stressful part of the three phases has got to be the individual case study! All the facts were all over the place and you have just an hour to piece everything together into a complete puzzle and present in a thoughtful and coherent way to the assessors! I did a mind map and for me, it's an effective way of organizing my thoughts into a broader picture and aids me in bringing across my points when i present. This case study really trains one to think on their feet and be flexible cos' you can depend on nobody in the room, but yourself. you just hafta answer whatever questions that were thrown to you, regardless of whether your answers and responses sounded stupid or otherwise. it's really stressful i would say but i'm glad i overcome my fears and walked out of my comfort zone! yays.

everything's over! and i emerged as a survivor, stronger than ever.

this case study really brings valuable insights especially with regards to having a global perspective and how a seemingly small action can have a significant impact and repurcussion for a global company like Shell. Corporate social responsibility is also of paramount importance for Shell as they have to balance their interest with that of the society as well. It also helps me sharpen my skills in analyzing a case study by identifying key and critical issues. Analyzing a complete case study like this is a first for me and surprisingly, after this stringent recruitment process, I am very motivated to improve and develop myself further and bring myself to a next higher level. be the best i can be.

thereafter, dinner on the ship and with great company and yummy-licious food, what else can I ask for? : )

This looks like a heart, doesn't it?




two invitations to zouk and this time, i really decided to give it a miss as much as i wanted to go. partly cos' i'm really feeling lethargic and other considerations were factored in as well.

ended the day on a not-so-happy note but 天下无不散之宴席. there'll always come a time to bid farewell and perhaps time will erase everything and all that had happened. heh. it's getting a lil' out of context so i shall stop : )

moving on. i'm tired.

A girl who needs to slow down and fall in love.

Disbelief.

As of now, I still can't believe i'm going through this stringent selection process and is subjected to sooo much stress, on my own. The feeling of helplessness is hard to take and to think that tomorrow is the actual recruitment day, it feels so unreal.

The practice case study today is a total disaster : ( email correspondence, charts, facts and newspaper articles were given and we are supposed to analyze these materials and find linkages within 10 minutes? Admittedly, I can't keep up with this pace and tomorrow, I will be on my own and 've to think on my feet. I don't wanna think about it, it scares me very badly.

One individual case study, an hour of preparation and five minutes of presentation to the accessors.

Another group case study and presentation.

Lastly, there'll be a business scenario interview and a competency based interview and the day will end at 5pm and yes, it starts at 8 in the morning. can you sense my fear and nervousness?

As much as I try to keep my composure and keep telling myself to just do my best, I can't help but worry. No matter what the outcome might be, it's a breakthrough for me as i step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself.













i will do my best tomorrow.

face your fears.
