Finally an official graduate.
Graduation won’t be a graduation without CMM doing something crazy on stage. And so, without any pre-planned communication, the whole batch of us went on stage and individually hugged the Director of Business School.
Don’t know if he was already tired (from the 40+ hugs he already gave) or if he was feeling awkward but when I hugged him, he really does feel awkward.
Glad to be graduating and as much as I hate to admit, I will definitely miss school and the memories we shared there.

Shoot shot bang!
Tomorrow’s shoot officially marks the first production shoot since my graduation from TP and also the first as a full-pledge Production Assistant and not intern-Production Assistant.
Maybe because it is a huge production and I don’t have much help for this or maybe because it marks as the first production since my return but the anxiety has slowly been building it since this morning and right now I feel like shit and am worrying out of my mind at the possibilities of this shoot falling apart.
And this shoot CAN’T fall apart because (a) my director, who happens to be the EP for this project, also happens to be one of the bosses around the office and (b) the client will be there all the time and if the shoot falls apart, there goes any chance of doing corporate productions or marcomm work in the future.
But this shoot CAN fall apart because (a) many things are not done yet, (b) the intern that will be tagging along with me on the shoot is by far the worst production intern anyone can get (and I’m not even kidding, my patience with him is already running low even when the shoot has yet to start), (c) the client is the hardest and most difficult bunch of people to work with and (d) I have one of the most difficult crew to work with but that’s not really my main concern since that guy will only be on my shoot for the first 2 days.
Being the negativity person I am, the cons obviously outweighs the pros. Not forgetting, I have a night shoot on the eve of my graduation ceremony. Well, at least I get to have a day off on that day (hopefully nothing comes up and I can rest well to look good for the ceremony).
4 days of shoot; 4 days of hell or 4 days of heaven (depending on how you see it).
Here we go!

I have finally started work. And it also marks the start of my diet plan to shed a couple kilos.
It had just been slightly more than a week since I return to the very-familiar office and I am down with a massive headache and terrible sore throat today. It got so bad that after eating brunch and drowning down some meds, I was immediately hit by the sleeping spells and promptly slept for the next 5 hours, like I have been so deprived of sleep for the past week.
Feeling a little better now and I hope in the next hour or so, I can continue to get back to sleep and will feel much better for work tomorrow.
Not that I am desperate to go work but 1 day of MC means lesser income at the end of the month. Since I am saving up for that Marc Jacob bag, it just means I can’t afford another day of sleeping at home.

Hilarity #1 in the Tan family
LAST NIGHT
Mum, who was already in bed, called me on my mobile when we are just a room away.
Her: Where is your sister? Why is she not picking up her phone? Ask her to come in!
Me: She went to the loo.
Her: (Thinking of the loo in her room) But she is not in my room, where is she?
Me: Wah, the house got 100 toilets is it? If she is not in your room, she must be using the kitchen’s toilet lah!
Conclusion: You become less intellectual when you get lazy.

The White Elephant
http://thejellyfarm.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/120-why-singapore-tv-is-dead/
Happened to chance upon this article while doing some random goggling a couple weeks ago.
A great article that attacked the white elephant that has been around for way too long.

Her voice is amazing.
This video accompanied me through my revision for the 3 intense final papers and it has been a month since I ended the last paper but I have yet to get tired of her music.
But why am I not surprise, coming from the lady who won 6 Grammys.

@sherylthong says I am mad to enjoy seeing fluffy clouds because the only time you get to see a really nice fluffy cloud in Singapore is when the weather is terribly hot and humid that day.
Still I think it is worth the sweats and curses coming out of the mouths if it means to be able to see a really nice fluffy cloud in the sky.

Valentines’ Day
Received a stalk of pink rose from a groupmate in appreciation of Valentines’ Day.No doubt it was a lovely surprise from a friend but deep down, I know this gift will be better appreciated by me if it was from the right guy. Nevertheless, I am still touched by the rose. So thank you friend, for the gentlemanly gesture. Also, thank you to my classmate for her amazingly cute handmade chocolate rose.
On another note, LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL! Just 2 more presentations and 3 more exam papers to go.
It’s really the final sprint to the finishing end, let’s go!

You know, we forget half of what they teach us in school, but when it comes to the torment and the people who inflicted it we’ve all got an elephant’s memory.

I have no idea what I did tonight. All I know was that I arranged the APEL Portfolio due for submission tomorrow, working on the various group projects on google docs, read the entertainment news, opened up the slides to study for the quiz on wednesday and it is already 12.30am.
Nothing that is very fruitful. And I really don’t like how I am wasting time away.

I have been swimming with deadlines from schoolwork. And I really don’t want to know how things will be like after CNY when the major ones are due.
I know I will survive. Just how I get through it.
