I've Blogged. Dammit.

Blame the itchy fingers and the restlessness.


It's the start of Week 13! The most dreaded week, yet I feel really excited because the holidays are coming very very soon. Even though its the time for presentation, project deadlines (they all seem to clash this term. No idea what's up with this term) and debates, I'm glad it's week 13.

I'm just relieved it's coming to an end soon. This term borders on the crazy side.

Firstly, Retail Management is kinda driving us nuts with the 3-D model. As if coming up with a novel retail concept is not that tough enough, it is mandatory that each group build a 3D model of our shop.

HAHA. Kinda absurd. After the first round of 'spoil market' presentations last Saturday, the competition is heating up. The 3D models made by the first few groups were really something - more like professionally done showroom models. Mind you, we are business students and not architects. So yeah, it goes to show the ultra competitive culture. T_T

And, to the class's and the Prof's horror, this guy had to go to the hospital to get 7 stitches for his index finger because he accidentally slashed it while cutting the metal sheets just to make the chairs for the model.

Ouch. Poor thing. Like what my schoolmate says, and I quote,

"This is a classic example of how SMU students like to "spoil market" for one another. If you teach a SMU student how to make a motorbike, he's going to build you a car for his project. The next batch of students will build you a boat. And by the time it's my turn to do the project, I will probably build you a jumbo jet."

How really true.

Hey Julez, let's see if we can indeed build a 'jumbo jet' for our retail mgmt project alright?
LOL. We'll see....


I'll be speaking malay next term because it is one of the Arts GE I will be taking for my last term. French and Spanish would be way more interesting but it clashed with another HR module (again!) My last school term will be a breeze and it ought be to be since its my last term. I'll be having a 2 day week (Tuesday and Thurdays) and 3 modules.

More time to shop, slack, plan for grad trip and of cause, more importantly hunt for jobs and go for interviews during term.

Thank God everything is falling into place for my last term in school. Let it be a breeze =)
