In a crisis!

Edit: Oh my fucking gawd. I just realised a huge part of what I wrote in this post just disappeared. And I am too lazy to rewrite it. Lucky you!

Warning: Extremely long pointless post just because I am trying to keep myself awake. Pictures at the bottom!

My sponsorship exam was yesterday morning. It was alright. I thought out of the 100 marks I can possibly get 75 marks if what I thought was right, IS right wtf.

There was one question on crisis management worth 10 marks! I couldn't answer it at all. Like there was nothing in my head that I can possibly link to that.

"Taking advertising to children legal restriction as an example, state 5 more concerns you would need to consider if the crisis was at a children's event".

WTF.

As for right now, I still d0 not understand that question and have no answer haih. There's nothing wrong with the sentence structuring or grammar right? Cos my lecturer is severely dyslexic.

I am NOT joking ok. She is. She 's very pretty (south african), nice and all but she is dyslexic.

But even if there was a mistake or whatever, I think I can pretty much guess what the question wants. After referring to my notes, I still don't get it.

*wears 'dumb' cone*

FAIL.

*****

And after my exam, I went home and quickly typed a one-page letter on my learning outcomes for my EVT233 lecturer.

She requested one from me and it was just me. Dayum! Am I that bad of a student?? Fark.

******

My nap was cut short from 2 hours to 30 minutes because the flatmate shouted 'LESLEY!' outside the room and woke me up. Why?

There was no electricity.

OMG.

Seriously.

No electricity?? Holy shit! We're all gonna die, aren't we??? *sarcasm*

F.

It was 3 in the afternoon. They did not have internet, awwwwwww. Bless their souls. How in the world did they survive 1 hour without internet? Beats me.

I had to walk out the my unit and check the corridor to see if it was just our unit or the whole apartment. It was the whole apartment.

And I went back to sleep. But too late. I have been awake far too long to get back in bed now.

At 4.30pm, left home to World Square. Need to do some grocery and personal shopping before working in Mosaic at 6pm.

I went back to check my shoes. Apparently, it wasn't the right shoes!! The nude one I saw was a pair of hooker heels. Dammit!!

Damn disappointed! So I went to PaperScissors and got myself a cream-coloured cardigan. They were having a sale too!!

On to the auntie stuffs that I bought: clothes peg coz the ones at home are always missing. Do these people eat them? I have bought several packs before and now they are all gone. Jesus Christ! I bought garbage bags too :(( coz we had none left! Since the landlord have always used the lavender scented bags, I purposely switched to the lemon-scented ones.

Lugged all that shit to Westin and stuffed them in my locker. Work was a'ight. Got $10 cash as tips.
Rego table for ICMS Alumni Dinner.

Networking 'tree' geddit?

The Asian Night market which was going on outside at the same time as our event.


One morning, I woke up to a very foggy Sydney. And this is what I saw at the Circular Quay. It was like the movie 'The Fog' all over except in daytime. You're supposed to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge but obviously not in this pic.
A pic of our Thai meals which is half eaten and look a bit digusting. Eric graduated and will be in Perth with his gf until June when he goes back to Brunei for good. It'll be my turn soon!!
I went to UNSW with the guys and stayed overnight at their unit. Their uni damn cool ok. This is their common kitchen. So clean and modern.
Oh. That's me camwhoring ahahhahahaha!!! See my $10 floral dress from Cotton On. I only bought it becoz it was $10. Otherwise I'll pass. And my white Valleygirl jacket! Look a bit different right. Because I can't hook it up (tummy doesn't allow that).
And you can see my hair is very long now and I am shedding wtf.
Not my closet.
Unit 126's weight management LOL!
Jia Wei's room.
My banquets uniform.

Work work work work work is all I'm gonna do this holiday. In fact, IRD has already booked my times for the next 2 weeks.

Efficiency yo.

Edit: MAJOR NEWS GUYS!! Mr Pawson send another email to us and said there was a mistake in calculating the marks for the pitch and that all the marks are increased. FARK!

So now, my pitch is actually a distinction! WOOOOOOOOTS! But proposal is still a credit. WHich is fine! Therefore, I might be able to score a final D in my Marketing with 80%!

Oh-emm-gee!

So you know. The other day. I was finishing my supposedly 50-page assignment.

When I was at page 35, I found out that actually only 20-30 pages were required.

FML.

After using Sunday afternoon, the whole Monday afternoon/night and Tues afternoon which totals to 24 hours, I came up with a 39 page assignment. Which I hope to get at least 65%. Hey! Although it was super last minute but I had 39 pages so there is definitely useful information ok.

Actually on second thought, my event might have been too OTT. Ahhh fark!

Pris pris pris pris pris lemme score at 60% la. I worked very hard on it ok.

I was maximising my concentration level like nobody's business! Only stopping to eat and like random 10mins of FB and stuff. Yeah.

********

I finished my assignment at 7pm and started on my Marketing revision.

Thank God our lecturer gave us the questions to the exam (I KNOW RIGHT!! WHAT KIND OF UNI GIVES QUESTIONS TO STUDENTS BEFORE THE EXAM ONE! )

He gave us all the 7 short answer questions he will put in the exams and told us to study for it (So if I don't get good marks, feel free to bash me here and call me stupid wtf). But the MCQs and case study we have to study everything la.

Eh. I am not lousy student ok. I still studied everything from the textbook which by 1am was the time I decided to go to bed as I have been looking at words and words for 12 hours.

But I couldn't sleep. All those marketing terms were bouncing around in my head.
You know how some screensavers have those ball thingy that bounces around in the monitor?
That's exactly how it was in my head. Except with one ball, I got like a gazabillion balls.

Haih.

I got the results back from my Marketing Pitch. Our team scored Credit for both pitch and proposal therefore it means we have a minimum of 32.5 out of the 50 points. Which translate to 32.5% that I already have. Hence I will need to 42.5% equating to 85% in my final marketing exam to get a Distinction.

Fark!!! To be honest, I think I can get 80% for the exam but 85% hmm I dunno. If my final mark is 74.5% which is 0.5% to a D, I will fucking kill someone ok.

Can't feel my feet -.-

I have always talked/complained about how I have to work on Fri/Sat/Sun and yet I only have 20 hours per week to spare.

How in the world can I manage like 3 shifts into 20 hours when one shift is on average 7-8 hours? How can I worked so much and yet, not have the immigration dept deport my ass back to Brunei?

The answer is I do not know as well.

Sometimes it feels like I have worked about 40 hours but in reality, it's like 15 hours. Maybe I'm just not cut out to work continuously anymore. Unlike last year, where 100 hours per fortnight is the norm. Ohhhh how I miss..................................the money. WTF.

Nah..Money is pretty good right now. I read Dragon's Chinese zodiac for this year and apparently, money is looking quite good throughout the year. Well, for me tho.

Working my 20 hrs allows me to pay for rent, food, transport without asking more from my dad. And go shopping!!!

Am waiting to go the next trip coz I saw a number of stores having massive crazy sales. Hopefully it will still go on after my sponsorship exam on Thursday :)))

I saw a pair of nude/tan kitten heels for $30 or $50 and I want it!! Dirt cheap ok!!

Gah!!

******

I have a confession to make. I did not do my assignment last night. Instead I was working in IRD. Yesterday lorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

I finished work at 12pm, reached at 12pm+ and straight away start on my assignment already. Even tho I was so fucking tired I cannot even walk properly wtf.

At around 2pm+, I received a call from Westin. It was Ronald from Mosaic asking if I can work that night. I said 'NO' right.....but Ron was like 'Ok laaaa, can laaaa. You don't have to do floorcheck, just work until 10 or 10.30 then u can go home'. So I said yes :((((((

Luckily I was able to finish 5 pages of my assignment by 4pm and took an hour's nap before rushing to Westin otherwise I will collapse on the spot ok.

The worst thing is that I have to wake up at 5am the next day to work in Frasers mah! And for some stupid reason (like I said, my life is fucked), last night was particularly busy for a Sunday! Usually we do 30 covers on a Sunday and last night, we did 97 covers!

FUCK THIS SHIT!!! And worse is, one guy wrote $40 as tips on the docket!! $40! Give cash mahhhh..can or not!! Damn potong steam one!

At 10pm, Micheal came to me with his mahai puppy sad face and begged me to stay until 11pm because 'there is still so much to do'. What can I say? NO? Luckily he did not break his promise and send me on floorcheck otherwise I will kill him or force him to put my name as employee of the month wtf.

So I stayed. As soon as it was 11pm, I quickly signed off and zoomed to the bus stop with Christy for the 11.15pm bus. Otherwise, we have to wait another 20 minutes wtf.

And it's another 5 hours until I have to wake up again to work.

Such is life.

Sat: 5am-1pm, 4.30pm-1am
Sun: 5am-1pm, 6pm-11pm
Mon: 5am-12.30pm (PH)

Yes, I exceeded 20 hours for this week but Tania says it's fine because our payslip is every 2 weeks. I was like '????'.

KA-CHING!!! WTF.

Lemme log on to Yesstyle to buy that pink jacket k....muahahahhaha! Ok not.

It probably does not have my size anyway.

I'm at page 10 now!

How to write 'die' in Chinese?

I am working tonight, tomorrow morning and Mon morning (which is a public holiday).

I do not want to work on Monday one bah! Coz I am in so deep of a shit you have no idea.

But Shaaban kept on saying it's public hols, good money, good money, good money and I said yes wtf.

And then he wanted me me to work Tues too! But I lied and said I have an exam. Which is partly true.

I need to study for my exam on Tues.

Did I tell you I have a 50 page assignment due on the same day as my Marketing exam which is in 4 days time? And I'm currently at page 1.

FML.

Presents??

Love love love these jackets!

And the girls modelling them too. They are too boooo-ti-fulll!

Haih. If I am working on a another public holiday, I'll get the pink jacket :)

Don't cry..

Weeks and weeks of lectures, tutorials and practice.

All boiled down to one final marketing pitch.

Which we completely trashed today.

Aww.

Part of me wants to blame her, part of me pities her.

I'm sure she wants a good grade as much as we all do but she might have brought this upon herself.

My team leader for the Marketing group is Maddie and she has been doing most of the marketing plan and pitch. Another girl, Angela is really pissed at her coz Maddie is sorta like a 'dictator' but in a nice way.

Hence, I said part of me wants to blame her. She just tells you what she wants and you have to do it. 9 times out of 10, she just shoots down people's idea because she 'thinks' hers is better. Oh well. Whatever.

But I also admit that none of the other team members including me actually start paying attention to this pitch until it was 2 weeks too late. Really.

I had to skip my last sponsorship class to work on the pitch with the team last night. Fast forward to this morning.

We were ready to go. And we were supposed to test all our AV stuff before presenting. But we didn't.

1st blow - Maddie could not access her email account which has the powerpoint slides for the presentation.

Once this happened, I could just see Maddie breaking down inside. But she is a strong girl. I have seen her present and she is a quick thinker.

She introduced us and Alex continued. Alex sounded fine during practice but at the pitch, she was just inaudible most of the time and stuttered. Angela followed, she did a wonderful job. No need for cue card or anything.

Then it was my turn. I thought I was pretty smooth when practicing but I did stammered for a bit there.

Maddie then concluded our pitch. However, she could not find her conclusion on her card. She kept on flipping the cards over and over again for like 15 secs and nothing. That's when I saw tears in her eyes. She gave up and just said 'So I hope you enjoyed our pitch. Thank you'.

I feel so sad for Maddie. Yeah, she's not a very good leader but there is no reason why I want her to cry or anything.

There were 7 judges. Some asked questions while some of them gave feedback.

These are what they have to say about us.

Good - "First of all, we really like the signature dish. It was very innovative and interesting."

Bad - "Your pitch was alright but you need to work on the consistency more. And the worst of all, is that you all looked pissed to be here. That's very negative to start with. No one smiled. No one looked happy to be here"

I don't usually get this so just let me kambang a bit here ok. When it was Chris Harris's turn to give a feedback, he actually said he enjoyed our presentation and that he thought I was the most enthusiastic speaker and the best one there.

Holy mother of god!

Me? Good in speaking? No fucking way....................*puts on fake suprised face*

HAHAHAHHAHAH!!!

And the best part is that even Matthew Meyer agrees. You know how freaking strict is that dude? He was the one who gave the 'you look pissed' comment.

Yeah!! Lesley has achieved another thing in her life. Being a 'good' speaker.

*flares nostrils*

WTF.

Anyway, as soon as we left the room, Maddie burst into tears. Tsk.

I feel so bad but I don't know how to comfort her because I don't know her that much.

I would hope we can get a decent grade but then I'll need to fucking ace my final exam. Boo.

********

I had this dream like 2 times already.

In my dream, I woke up and sit upright on my bed. The first thing I always do when I sit up is to look at my thighs (if there are more cellulite/fatter/thinner/whatever). And I saw for that morning, my thighs were horrible. Cellulite covered everything and I thought "Dayum! Must cut back down on IndoMee".

However, on closer inspection, my thighs are actually covered with white dots. Each dot about 1cm apart from the next one.

I look closer. These dots are moving. They are wriggling very hard. After staring at them for like 1 min, I realised there were baby maggots trying to get out.

I shrieked and woke up for real. WTF.

*********

I finished True Blood season 2. Godric is dumb for a 2000yr old vampire.

If you wanna die, write a note or something dude. Don't let Sookie or whoever put their lives in danger to save your ass, just so that you can expose yourself to the sun in the end.

Goddamit.

Guys. I take back my words. Eric Northman is getting hotter. I think it's the hair. The previous ones sucked ass.
He looks so much cuter with short hair.

As for Bill, I dunno why his skin is getting very pasty. They need a new make-up artist pronto.

Which brings me back to a sex scene in season 1, the 'I thought you were dead' sex. Bill climbed out from underground grabbed Sookie by the ankle. They hugged and started banging each other like whatever.

All I could think of was 'Oh-em-gee! She had dirt in her vajayjay now. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.'.

Yeah >.>

I want pad siew!

I can haz fashion!

Hey y'all. AGAIN.

I came across another shopping website through Facebook :)

It's called Sense of Fashion. Basically it sells everything from one-off designer pieces (sample) to quirky stuff to vintage to whatever.

I personally don't like most of the things they sell there but there are some nice pieces too. Call me tasteless if you want but I just kinda prefer other things.

However, it's still a fun site to browse through.

If you are the kind of person who can appreciate this jacket, then you'll like this site.
They sell accessories too. Telescope necklace.
This neck ruff thingy. If you are attending a costume party.
Below are some of the things I kinda like.

Vintage Marilyn Monroe T-shirt.
A designer tartan dress. It's size 10-12. My size!! But I would drown in this dress coz I'm short.
Some black evening gown.
Blue peacock sweater.
Vintage 80s sweater.
This coat is so cute!! But $200 oh... :(
This is a designer piece too. From Chloe.
Orange coat!! So cute!

Hope you enjoy the pictures! Go to that site to look-see if you're bored :)
You'll enjoy it!
