The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind. William James (1842 - 1910)

I forgot to mention that i got the marketing intern position in breadtalk group pte ltd (which starts on 27th april). On hindsight, it's ironic how i didn't even want to go for the interview cos i was like wth breadtalk simi lj and i had so many projects due tt wk. And so... i didn't even prepare anything for the interview but thankfully i think i did well cos after 1.5 hrs of interview, i got selected out of 5 applicants. I guess it paid to listen in class during my FT and marketing mods.
Oh and during the interview the brand executive manager told me that food republic's gonna open 2 new branches along the orchard precinct and one of it (at ion orchard) will be opening in June; and that the intern will be busy taking part in the advertising, meeting of clients, copywriting, publicity, media and press releases, photoshoots, parties, events and what not. After the interview I was slapping myself for not preparing for the interview cos at tt juncture i rilly wanted the job, but luckily i did well enough to get picked! Thank God.
I don't know if i'm revealing too much about it cos i alr signed the contract of confidentiality and i'll be sued if i divulge any information regarding their expansion plans; but who cares this is a worthy cause for celebration.
Anw im surprised tt most of my friends think that the breadtalk grp is qt successful in their marketing campaigns and tt i'm fortunate to get selected, cos i rilly didn't think much of breadtalk (in the beginning, tt is). Now i'm honored to be given this opportunity; but with tt aside, I was told that there'll be lotsa work to do and i have to be prepared to work overtime. I hope i'll still have time for my friends and tennis.
Time to get clothes for work, and for now, it's time for tennis!

Naive and free we once were;
Playmates and toys we held so dear.
A mind ever free from woeful troubles,
Yet all we cared were the size of our bubbles.
People, cars, and morning dew,
Never failed to set our faces anew;
Where our tears of sorrow ceased to flow,
And our faces lit up in a resplendent glow.
As we trod down the road of wistful wisdom,
Our doubts and burdens were lined to Lisbon.
Feuds, accidents, and catastrophic floods,
Soon became the fear that flowed in our bloods.
As the sands of time does the bidding of nature,
We’re imperceptibly enthralled by sins and danger.
Now, says who we know not what our futures hold,
But the impending gloom and doom; be foretold.

Finally ive got some air to breathe. Just finished my last presentation today.. Sch hasn't been this fucking busy until this semester. I think cos I solely did the mpw proj due to some assholes and china dolls in my grp. I'm not exactly against mao zedongs but im telling you they're fucktards. i used to think that they're smart and hardworking.. but contrary to belief, they're lazy, ignorant, useless and whatever traits you can find in a bloody panda.
I'm not exaggerating btw. I had to literally do everything for them. Tt's including their slides cos when i asked them to do their own slides they just don't do it according to the report but their own panda brains. But at least they realised tt they didn't do anything since they've the courtesy to grade themselves down for peer evaluation.
Exams in 2 wks time.. Fuck.
Dbl O on fri. :)
