HAVEN been updating my blog for awhile! I'm really too tied up! finally today is the last day for my PROJect this sem!

last nite i stayed up the whole nite to do up for today BIG day - Ads presentation. Initially i always thought that i was a free-rider, but then, only until it's near the presentation, then i appear to be the key most important person --> cuz of my skills on photoshop! perhaps i have some inborned potential in using photoshop, i also didn't expect myself from being able to use Adobe Illustrator (at the very beg level) and know what's Adobe ImageReady is used for. haha... feel so proud of myself! but of cuz, i have to thank my Ex-Boss (eugene for teaching me how to use such useful skill!) it's my selling point now! haha..

time passed damn fast - i could still remember i was rushing to do up the ppt last nite now, i feel like it's just past minute passed! now i kinda feel abit "can't bear" though i had a very tough time - prepare until the very second b4 our turn today!

i think my skills have improved tremeduously for this sem on PPT & Photoshop! Thanks to all these opportunty to practise! But unfortunately, they don't seem to be of very high value (tangible) cuz they can't earn me good grades?! haha...

Yday when i went for a short "interview" for being a Teaching Assistant for advertising next sem, i felt so hard to reply my Prof when he asked me for my GPA (as 1 of the criteria for being a TA). don't know is it becuz i have the mentality that GPA is not the final determinant whether u R "good" or not! but more of the very 1st measure that people can use to estimate how good u perform in Uni. However, i would strongly agree that experience and the skills are much more important for anyone to survive; unfortunately, people are too focus into good grades, and ended up loss of social life! (not saying that i have very colorful social life, just that i'm not just focusing onto grades!)

after today, i learnt so much more than expected on how "real" pitching is like - the presentation style and the "real" way to sell our ideas. NO WONDER everyone says advertising is tough - esp when u have to sell ur ideas n get ur pitch! the pressure is tremenduous! and that's why i stumbled and embarrassed myself in front of everyone at my introduction! surprisingly, the client was very satisfied with our ideas & the way we sold our ideas, even though ours are pretty much the same as the team presented earlier (formul8). At 1st, Brucie was so afraid and keep suggesting changes here n there -> tat really freaked me out even more! Luckily we managed to have Choon (the most experienced "Lao Jiao") to do the most important part! *Phew! Otherwise, i think we might not that strong! UNfortunately, he is graduating and he didn't intend to go into advertising! What a pity?! I thought his presentation skills were good, make me feel that I still so much more to learn - to reach his level! Hopefully i can graduate with his level (or even better) for my presentation skills & confidence! :)

Now i have to get back to study again! 3 papers next week (1 on 1st day, and 2 more on the last day), and learning logs due tomorrow! Oh mann... I shall jog tmr again - cuz yday & tdy i ate so much after i got home ~ all effort wasted! But seems like my stamina went up - now i can run at 6.5km/h for an hour without that fatigue! Hmm... and thanks to Choon for correcting me, otherwise I won't know that I was running at the wrong posture! (no wonder i didn't lose that much weight the last time) I shall go n jog more often! I'm more motivated now! But just hope that i can keep to a healthy diet - yday cuz too stressed, my diet plan broke again! Keep restarting, but never have once that can last long - why like that?
