Help!

My eyes are giving up on me in the middle of my OM Term Paper.

Please don't close. You have 12 more hours to go.

Drowning

I used to drown because of other reasons, but I'm now drowning in work.

It's so much work I'm feeling suffocated. And knowing that the lack of air is going to continue, you wish you'd taken a larger breath before you you started drowning, so that maybe you'd survive the swim up to the surface.

I need a holiday. I bloody good one.

Chores

Busy is an understatement.

With things coming at me back to back, and me trying to make sure that everything is done out as fast as possible with the highest quality I can achieve, I'm losing a lot of personal time here. I find myself falling asleep while talking to people online, not enjoying raiding in WoW, can't leave my laptop alone for an extended period of time. Been staring at the computer screen for up to over 10hours a day. That's totally hardcore.

I've still to finish my biz comm presentation, which i'm frantically adding pictures to now. Also, I'm trying to beautify the smb website. Then I have OM term paper coming out very soon after. Not to mention weeks before this, I had things coming up every 2 days or so. Shaggedelic.

My only concern is whether it'll just be like this all the way. I need some time for my own. Hope WoW doesn't become a chore as well.

1776

Yeah, that's right, I'm still not over the 300 thingy yet. But this shit just made me laugh. We should do a Lee Kuan Yew version also. Haha. "This is Singapore!!!!", and Lee Kuan Yew kicks the British envoy down the Singapore River. Tsk.

IBM Young Entrepreneur

Been busy recently.

Presentation for IBM Young Entrepreneur Award was finally over. It was a 24hr ordeal that saw our group, the ProProtectors rushing through the prototypes of our Spin-the-wheel and Pick-a-prize, memorising our parts, working up the slides, suiting up and preparing to kick ass.

Judges felt that we had good ideas and they liked our presentation, pointing out that viral marketing could be a good way to go. They also commented on the use of sex appeal. Apparently, sex is a taboo when it comes to marketing for firms, especially MNCs. I wonder if the younger generation would actually be more open to this sort of marketing because I believe that the youth is actually more accepting of sex appeal and in fact, who can deny that it does really catch attention very well and people will remember it.

I guess sex appeal is really only ever used by fashion lines eh? Like Calvin Klein below. CK has always been known for the ads with all the wet, sexy bodies of almost naked male and female on top of each other.
Well, so be it, we might still use those ads if we get into the finals anyway.

Guess I'm on to the designing of SMB Website now, and also creating the powerpoint presentation for my Biz Comm presentation.

Back to back work, you got to love it when you have to squeeze your nuts just to find time for some WoW and your girlfriend. Good thing we stay in hall.

Linux

I actually like this Mac ad spoof about Linux. I did recently do a website about Open Source Software and I've always liked the idea about Open Source Softwares being free and developed by the user community.

Here's a link to my website.

And here's the video, not that I'm gonna use a Linux anytime soon.

Data Protection Video

Another video made. This one is for my IBM Young Entrepreneur Competition.

Enjoy.

Fight Club

Mid terms have finally come to an end if I don't count projects, term papers and competitions that I have joined. There is a never ending stream of work to be done. Seems like a hectic month ahead. After the month, it'd be almost time to hit the books and plan a number of A's to bag into a trophy most NUS students know as "Result Slip".

A friend reminded me that NUS Biz has become really competitive and I should clinch an internship as early as possible. Seems like Biz Ad has turned almost into a Fight Club.(If you haven't seen the movie I suggest that you go see it. darn blardy good film) Anyway, I already understand that to find a good job, excellent results are not of the top priority but relations and a good internship could land you your ideal job.

Sometimes, I ponder upon the competitiveness within the BBA cohort and can't help but think about what it has brought to NUZ Biz Ad. Personally, if I do something, I want it presentable and when people see it, they know it's good. Yeah, I know I'm a pretty last minute person and all. But I still want to make it good. My point is, Biz Ad is now full of gimmicks. Instead of making a presentation slide pleasing to the eyes, ideas clearly shown and illustrated, keeping things simple and aesthetically pleasant. Instead of looking for excellence in what one is doing, we see all sorts of gimmicks being pulled off just to "impress" tutors and I salute those who still take pride in making things good and not just relying on the gift of the gab.

Gah... Studying is just not my cup of tea. Neither is staring at sheets of numbers. Accounting is a no-no for me whilst finance is pretty fun to deal with. But I'm not the type who would sit at a desk and work my ass off all day. I get easily distracted. I need to do something I like and make a living out of it. Do I really like finance? Definitely more than Accounting, but maybe not enough for me to look into the mirror after forcing my groggy head to prop up straight at 6am in the morning and tell myself "Hoh yeah, another day of Financial Investments to work out. That's gonna be so ass-spanking exciting."

Surgery today and I got to wakie wakie in 2hrs time. Sleep deprived again. My body clock is screwed. In fact, somehow had better plunge a huge screw right through my back bone and adjust my that damn clock back to where it should be. So many things to juggle and I've never even been able to juggle 3 balls in the air.

Alright, time to hit the sacks. Gonna dream about doing sit ups and running on tread mills so maybe when dreams come true, maybe only the results of the hard work you put in your dreams translate into real life and I would get those killer abs displayed by Brad Pittalina Jolie in the picture above. Hah, gotcha. Those aren't great abs, but at a certain Troy time of the century, he did have a magnificent to-die-for bod.

Gimmicks are just gimmicks. They don't work well in a real business situation.

Back


So, I'm back at Blogspot while I search for alternatives. Even the layout is temporary. Kinda. Too busy to make anything good.

That was some time ago. Before our 6th month even. Yeah, we've been together for 6months and counting. Feels longer. It always does. Always more to look forward to despite all the chaos of daily life trying to juggle school work, hall, friends, family and wow.

Looks like I have too much to update my friends about, but you all will have to wait. SC1101E Mid Term tomorrow and I'm up to my usual slacking. You know me. I can't sit down and study.

Started watching Heroes Season 2 and found Smallville interesting as well. More shows to watch is always good. Still got a whole stash of movies to watch. No idea when i'll get to it, but well, when i have the time!

That's all for now. Gotta get my ass down to study.
