i really feel like getting this dress!!

love formal-ish dresses (:

...that make people ask 'you have presentation today huh?'

do you realise you've been asking this weekly? is it possible?

RANDOM BIT OF INFO: bonitochico is hiring .. or rather Velda is. for more info, check out her blog HERE.

i've done what i set out to do AND THEN SOME.

*inserts the smug look emoticon*

though (it's true!) i am quite slow.

left with readings for sems 1-4 comprisingly largely of scott and some phbp.

dreary days! allergic to reading.

haven't done tutorials yet.

don't judge me!

i know i'm evil.

which is why i'm judging YOU, not for your abilities in whatever academic aspect but rather, your grammar skills (or lack thereof).

seriously.

when you're telling people not to judge you (like what i've been doing all this while), at least learn to spell.

if you can't spell, people are judging you while reading the "please don't judge me" pleas.

hit with a sudden bitchy thought:

you should only compete in an industry if you have a competitive advantage; a differentiating factor.

for some, it could be intelligence, musical talent, outspokenness, a sense of humor perhaps? how about dropdeadgorgeousness? wealth even. and of course, *inserts bitchy look emoticon* sluttiness works too!

i mean, it IS a point of differentiation, isn't it?

if you can say, "in this class/school, i wear the sluttiest clothes. try to top that!"

no one will probably dare to one-up you due to the constraints that we all operate in.

so yea, it could be a sustainable advantage. point to you (:

and furthermore, there's brand creation too. when you walk past, we go "hey look! it's slut! boomz"

brand recognition too!

how's that for successful differentiation?

back to 301.

but before i end off,

Matthew Perry's quote : "I set my alarm for 4 o'clock in the morning to say something sarcastic and then go back to sleep."

NO, i don't set my alarm for (whatever time) to say something bitchy and then go back to (sleep/whatever i'm doing).

it was just a random quote.

which i remembered from ST years ago. YEARS, no kidding.

oh..another random comment:

i don't understand why people, who went to SAP schools, try to play down their ability in chinese. obviously you would have taken higher chinese and even if you suck at speaking it, you should be able to read/write/understand it, no?

hence, i find it kinda annoying that people go "oh i can't READ that!" when it's like, basic words that you should know.

WHAT?

you think people will judge you for being effectively bilingual?

you're afraid your target audience might not like you cuz' their chinese is shingz?

you're embarrassed you can actually read those words?

seriously. wtf.

i'm happy to tell people i'm effectively bilingual. well now, i'm quite sure i got an A for my teochew too just that cambridge forgot to mark. pretty much like ash and her hokkien.

are you judging me here?

just to prove how much i think of things.

here's my take on the difference between bitching about someone and judging them.

when you bitch, it's based on a fact which you've identified about someone but because you dislike them, you advertise it negatively.

e.g. person went to a SAP school, took higher chinese and claims he/she can't read chinese at all??? I'M SURE LAHH. *inserts shocked emoticon*

otoh, judging is making assumptions (can be true/false) about someone and expecting them to conform to those assumptions; feeling disappointed in them (whether expressed or not) because they don't meet said assumptions.

e.g. i thought she'll be a nice person but she's always bitching about someone. really, it's not in line with her character or behavior at all. what a horrible, sneaky, fake bitch.

THANKS. continue judging.
