Argh the powers of procrastination!

Damn you almighty powers of procrastination! not just in my blog but my assignments as well. Just finished my portfolio which is worth 50%. Damn this is the first time I've ever hit a writers block that big. As in i'm perfectly fine with just coming up with creative ideas but then the part that kills me is researching for information to back it up. hiax i now see advertising copywriters in a new light and can now relate to what my lecturer is trying to say. Anyway heres a quick update of what i've been up to since i last blogged.

 04052012 (fri)
I finally mangaed to meet up with Fadila, she was my classmate for direct marketing and a Singaporean as well.  Well we were initially supposed to meet up for lunch and then go for a hip-hop open class at Mad Dance House but she had a game the day after and as she had aches after the last time we went to MDH she decided to give it a miss, so in the end we ended up shopping, i bought a new cross stitching hoop which is wayyyy bigger than my last 1 hahas so excited. Anyway while watching Fadila pick out dresses and stuff, i suddenly realised just how many different types of clothings there are in a women's dress show and apparently dark blue seems to be the in colour right now. As once i left the shop there seemed to be a number of girls wearing dark blue dresses with different cuttings. well so i pretty much spent the whole day with Fadila and bought bangers and mash from MYERS centre on the way home, but damn they were disgusting.

05052012 (Sat)
Saturday was a freaking awesome day as I finally got to watch Avengers with Simon and James Chew. hahas the funniest part of the movie was when the Hulk punched Thor out of the screen after they took down the giant mutated turtle.

Well after the movie we went to the Job fair in the expo but was rather disappointed as its mostly about education and stuff with the various universities there, well James kinda sorta learned to drive a digger of some sorts hahas.

We then walked around the buddist festival at south bank and ended up eating the samples that they offered. LOLS Simon has damn thick skin, he kept going back to the same store for samples until the girl offered him  the whole bowl.

Dinner was rather interesting as i had dinner with Dexter and  Sheryanne with 3 other of her friends. and only one word was used to describe it "Awkward" as Dexter totally rambled on and on about how bad his house mates were and what he did to get back at them. the exact content of the conversation will not be mentioned here but u can ask me if you happen to see me. I was like "damn is this the kinda person I've been hanging out with for the last semester??". Alright this blog is not really to bitch about people so I've move on to the next topic.

Oh yeah dinner was at this place called the Greek Tavern which serves (you guessed it) Greek food (here have a cookie). well maybe its just me but I totally do not get their style of dinning with the salad and stuff (not a big fan of salads, the only time I get a salad is so that I can put it in a corner and laugh at it) but i have to admit that the lamb was to-die-for as in the meat was so tender that when i pulled it apart gently with my fork and knife it just gave way (EPIC!). and the taste, so full of flavour, the juice just bursting out with each bite. So i guess unless you have a very small appetite or maybe you just wanna try the lamb u can go to the Greek Tavern which is at west end.

06052012 onwards
well to be honest lots of things have happened but i cannot for the life of it remember what happened.
Oh yeah i got Diablo 3 as well so if you wanna add me you can add me via my email toon_world01@hotmail.com or my battle tag which i might post up later coz i'll just to darn lazy to log in to check.

Weight watchers
Alright back to this segment, well truth be told I've not been very discipline in going to the gym daily i seems that my body wants to get 7 hrs of slp no matter what even  if i sleep early or late, so i end up overslping. As of now my weight is still the same but i noticed that my arms are getting bigger (no its not coz of the fats). I guess its coz of all the arm intensive workouts that i do. well hope to get motivated soon and i'm currently so tired of typing as i just typed a ton or stuff for my assignment so i'mma gonna go catch some ZZZZZs soon. Till next time 

-Peace out

Its the middle of the week!

Anndddd its the middle of the week now!! woohoo.. which means one for day of lessons and its hello long weekend. Well one thing I learned about myself this week is that i really pay attention to the lecture if i do not have my laptop with me. But I've got like a whole day of classes next week in which a laptop would be super useful. 

Advertising lecture
Anyways, a rather interesting thing happened during lecture today as we had a guest speaker who was a graphics designer and in order for him to get into the mood for whatever work he's doing, he puts on his metaphorical hat. But for our viewing pleasure he brought some physical, tangible hats hahas e.g.

These are not the students you are looking for

Other stuff
well i figured for the weight section it would not make sense to have it everyday so i'll prolly update it on a weekly basis or maybe fortnightly.

Well for my next cross-stitch assignment i'm still torn between doing a pokemon card or the One Piece pirate flags.

Lols got sidetracked for an hour as i went to ebay to look for threads but ended up buying cross stitch fabric. well it looks like i'll be doing the pirate flags instead hahas cool TTM. wonder how many can make.

oh well thats pretty much all that is today so till next time.

Spanish Spanish

Well i finally gotten down to the spanish lessons now and to my surprise the first thing that they teach is not how to introduce yourself. Its more of differentiating between the male and female gender for example una nina which means a girl and un nino which means a boy and una mujer which means a woman and un hombre which means a guy. Its kinda confusing a first but once i found out that most of the "o"s are directed to guys while the "a"s are for gals it makes learning so much easier. what sucks now is that i still cannot get my mic to work. On a side not, i should totally get speakers.


Rest week
yeah this week is kinda a rest week for me (no its not coz i don;t have school) but more because i don't have any assignment submission till next week (I've got 2). So this gives me time to do it, but knowing me I'll probable leave it till the last minute again =(

A perfect example would be last night, I went with Simon to the lag after Yuans to do work but i ended up playing SC2 till about 2 am. Simon left after finding out that I wasn't keen on spending the night in the com lab as I had to get some sleep before my lessons today. 

Lecture today
For today's Service Marketing lecture there was a guest lecturer from Big Pond and i surprised myself by actually listening to her lecture. Well i think most of it was because i did not bring my laptop to school today... but all in all it was a rather interesting lecture. I thought of dozing off at the start but she brought in new ways to segment Target audiences and i sorta just realised that doing the STP is actually kinda fun as you have to get into the mind of the consumer and find out what do they actually what instead of just throwing your line in the water and hoping the fish would just bite. You gotta source for the best fishing spot and find out what's the best bait that the fish like.

Okay, just for those who are like wondering what the hell am i talking about or why am i talking so much. I'm kinda sorta using this blog as a way to improve my typing skills which means that i'm just typing out what comes to my mind without looking at the board except for the occasional punctuation marks and stuff.

Weight progress (NEW)
Okay as I've said in my previous post I'll be adding a section about my attempts to get fit, so i'm not really sure how to do this so I'm just starting with the weight section and maybe adding more stuff if i feel that it might be useful. So hopefully my weight does go down.

Oh yeah on a side note the only thing i'm sorta doing to lose weight is gym, which involves cardio and some weights but i'm not really counting my calories (but its not like I'm gorging myself with loads of sweets and chocolates). 

My Weight CAA 01052012 is 
99KG

OH yeah i realised that i forgot to pay my rent for the week so gotta go and pay it now and might go to the lab again with Simon later hahas so till next time
