Our !st Anniversary

Well, after going through ups and downs in my life with dear dear for 365 days, today :23/1/2011 is our very 1st anniversary. *wink*

Actually I would like to admit that I am not a good girlfriend definitely, for being emotional, hot-tempered all the time. Yet, I've found someone who has the god-like level of patience, as he is the one who able to tolerate and withstand my personalities. =D

Happy anniversary dear~ :)

Finally, We Came to The End

After the whole semester of preparation, finally MMK 2010/2011 had officially ended. Yesterday was the closing ceremony of MMK.

It is kinda hard for me to describe my feeling in words. Initially, I thought "relief" is the only word to come into my mind once MMk is ended as I don't have to bother those marketing stuffs anymore. However, it changed right at the moment when Jacob(our multimedia director) still continued his "never-give-up-spirit" in rendering his multimedia clip even though he had failed thrice. He did not manage to show it up on the time we had planned, but he still able to make it in the end of the event and showed to everyone who were still there. Salute to Jacob!! Because of this small incident, I changed my way of thinking: everyone also worked very hard for MMk and not myself only, then why I still have put my blame on those marketing stuffs?

Back to one semester before, the time when I was the first time to get involved into marketing department and took the job of being a marketing director. Honestly, in the beginning, I don't really enjoy the process to deal with those companies just to get something, or sometimes even nothing. T-shirt selling, dedication, marketing drive...those works were far more challenging than what I had expected. Problems can be appeared at anytime and anywhere. There was a period of time when I was totally collapsed and had no more idea on how to continue with my job. Thanks to everyone who gave me supports that time to drag me back to the right path and made me became stronger.

MMK family outing, booth setting, marketing drive and etc were those memorable moments I had came across with along the period of joining this project. I am not a good marketing director, or good leader, either. I do really appreciate the supports from MTs and juniors. For instance, my department members who helped me a lot in calling sponsors, some MTs like jacob and alvin who helped me a lot during the hardest time of dedication (Jacob also helped me to send the banner for printing and almost got lost at Jalan Pudu..:p), Claire who helped me a lot in T-shirt dealing, khai kent who fetched me to the shop of our booklet sponsor for few times...

I'm so sorry to everyone for unable to be a good marketing director and many things had gone haywire due to the "not-well-planned" process. I have to admit that I am not a good marketing director (perhaps the worst) and not even able to get the amount of money that we had expected.

Anyway, thanks for giving me this chance to learn. I had learned a lot. :)
P/S: I prefer photoshop more than marketing actually :p

What A Tiring Day

It was a really tiring day. After going out for whole day, I did really appreciated the moment once I could have a chair and sat down there, without doing anything.

Yesterday was the first time I went for the donation drive for National Gathering Of Pharmacy Students 2011 (NoGAPS), which is national events for all pharmacy undergraduates in Malaysia. Since I am one of the members under marketing bureau for this event, for sure I have to go for this donation drive, even though I didn't really want to :P We went to Ampang in morning and Bangsar in afternoon. All together it took me more than six hours on kept standing, walking and asking people for donation. Arghhh..

Other than that, once I got back from donation drive, I still had to go Sunway Pyramid to buy the souvenirs for MMK opening and closing ceremony. I was yelling in my heart " Damn!!!"

Feeling kinda helpless to this kind of hectic life sometimes. But then again, I have to thanks to them because I learned to be stronger anyway. =)

Bonjour, I’m back

Yea, finally I’m back. Second year 1st semester had officially ended and so does my three weeks semester break. This semester break was a bit too short for me actually. Compared to the five weeks semester break last year, I have a feeling of not enough rest, even though I spent my whole holiday on eating, shopping and doing nothing. We suppose to have five weeks break this year, but unfortunately another two weeks were placed before final exam, thus ended up with “study break”. :(
Luckily, like what I had promised myself, at least I had done something meaningful in this short semester break.

1. Finished reading “ Time Traveler’s Wife”
I had watched this movie before, thus I bought this book without much hesitating during a family shopping in Ipoh. The only comment I can give to this book is: superb. The story was around a couple of Henry and Clare where Henry was a time traveler, whom able to time travels to the future or past, but involuntary and uncontrollable. If you haven’t read this book or watch the movie yet, I will strongly recommend you to read it or watch it. :)



2. Two successful attempts of baking cookies
Proudly say, my baking skill had improved, hehehe. This time we had chocolate cookies and oatmeal raisins cookies. From the pictures you see below can prove what I said already. My own comments for those cookies:




• Chocolate cookies
Taste: quite okay, not too sweet
Texture: crispy, especially those nuts chips
Appearance: nice brown color
Nutritional value: carbohydrate, protein



• Oatmeal raisins cookies
Taste: nice raisins sweet taste
Texture: not as crispy as I had expected
Appearance: kinda attractive
Nutritional value: additional nutrients from the raisins

3. A lot of shopping-s
Well, Chinese New Year is around the corner, plus the extensive Christmas sales and year-end-sale, it’s really hard to stop me from going shopping. Therefore, within three weeks time, I went Ipoh for three times, twice with family and once with dear dear. Other than that, with the excuse of being too bored at home, I went to Berjaya Times Square with old friends as well. It sounds like a bit crazy of going KL and came back Bidor within a day, but my friend told me “We’re young, so we suppose to do something that young people usually do.” Yea, perhaps she was right, 年轻人就应该有随时准备出发的精神.

In short, year 2010 was a year which full of happiness and tears. Lost a lot but gained a lot as well. Sacrificed a lot of time but learnt a lot which were valuable. There were certain moments really hard to take but I’m really lucky because I had gone through them with my very supportive dear dear.

Coming up is another new year with new hopes and new challenges. Last few days, dear asked me “What is your new year resolution?” Hmm, like what in previous year, I hope I can have good achievement in studies and practice a healthier lifestyle. Less pollution, less chaos, less natural disaster would be the best gift to all human on earth. Here, I cross my fingers, hoping everyone is safe and healthy in the year ahead. :)
