I’m angry. I’m angry. I’m angry. I’m angry that I chose to believe what those people said at the election day. All the talk about food festival was a good idea. All the talk about we want other people to know about Singapore and SSA. BULLSHIT. I don’t see the passion. And…it’s making me lose my own drive and passion.…

hate the B
Forgot to report on my grades in the previous post. ADV410 – A ADV411 – B JAPN202 – A+ JOUR200 – A MS320 – A Total GPA = 3.82 Cumulative GPA = 3.73 I HATE THE B. I thought the extra credit would have helped, but it turned out that I had been mistaken. Extra credit is 5 points to the exam and not…
fashion, lolita, culture
So, I had a presentation on fashion and clothing for MS320: Popular Culture class which partly featured lolita fashion. For that, I wore a BTSSB Pink JSK. The first thing friends asked was what was the occasion. Do I need a reason to dress lolita? I mean, I’ve built up a wardrobe of lolita dresses, isn’t it high time I…
after spring break
My ADV410 group mate, Suguru went to Las Vegas during Spring break. He watched a Cirque du Soleil show! Damn…I’m so jealous. He told me tickets weren’t cheap though. Uh oh, there goes my dream of watching all the shows the next time I go there. There are at least 6 shows, how to even choose which to watch?! PS: I’m…
newbies and elitists
So I have a new assignment for Journalism class which is to interview a professional journalist. I spent a night scouring online newspapers and plucking out names. I was wondering whether what I was doing would be fruitful at all. Suddenly I had a brilliant idea to look for an LJ community for Journalism. Was thinking that maybe professional people…
education system
You wanna know what’s the difference between the Singapore education system and American education system? I experienced it this morning in MS320 (Popular Culture) class. Our TA, Ms Randolph was going through the lesson slides, we did some group discussion… About 15 minutes to the end of the class, she asked a question referring to the readings we were supposed to…
the disney dream
I went to the informational session and was disappointed to learn that the Disney College Program is not a summer internship program, but a semester program. The catch is I may or may not earn college credit, which means I may end up having to take one more semester (and become a super senior) or cram everything and still graduate…
something good will follow
Lionel’s theory was right. When something bad happens, something good will follow. My group’s phase 1 of our final project for ADV410 scored full marks. I was so worried that we weren’t on the right track. We’re supposed to come up with a PR plan for Parkland College. 🙂 I went to my TA’s office hours for JOUR200. He said…
first ADV411 exam: CUI
I’m screwed. I screwed up my first ADV411 exam. I had the urge to say to the prof, “I think I know what you meant by ‘students usually don’t do well on the first exam’,” when I went up to hand in my paper. 😥 I haven’t been doing too well in Japanese class too coz I hardly look through…
all you have to do is just keep swimming
My kiasu-ness proved useful coz I went to my TA’s office hours twice to make sure my story had no major mistakes, I received an A for my first Journalism assignment. :kirakira: I am trying hard not to slack, but it’s tiring to keep swimming against the current. I’m already behind with my readings and there are exams and major assignments…
