This TV advertisment was part of one of Reebok's marketing campaign called UBU (1989 to 1992). It is fun entertainment but definitely not an image any normal consumer would want to associate with. In fact, i do kinda find it freaky weird. What were they thinking?

SBM lesson fun fact
Do you know that Facebook had a growth of 2424% in 2006?
And considering that many of my friends only joined facebook this year, I'm quite sure the rates are still super high. the wonders of digital media...

Thanks Twin!
Sister's "Hen Night"
during the mid-term break, my sis had her 'hen night'. It included a wonderful japanese dinner near Corpthorne Hotel, mambo @ zouk, a night stay at Swissotel Hotel, and of course R&R session at the hotel pool the next day. I had class on thursday morning and didn't join the R&R session, but it really felt great waking up at 8.30am (instead of 7.30am) and walking to school for a 9am class. lol. jealous? After class, went back to the hotel and studied a bit by the hotel pool and had a clean bath b4 my meeting. Too bad i'm not paris hilton or something, would probably propose to stay in swissotel for the rest of my school days. haha.
Well.. all i can say is that the hotel was GREAT! i didn't have such a fantastic impression the last time i was there (Amanda's birthday). But this time, with the perfect view (think we got the best view possible) and a bigger room, it was really quite an experience. It was like a pampering session. heh.
Mambo was interesting. After all, how often do I get to club with a bunch of 28 (plus minus) year old people! They definitely did enjoy the mambo music. My sister is already beginning to feel her age and didn't really last the whole night. heh. But she did get picked up! by a guy with the most horrendous pick up line though.
As a whole, it was a cool experience, hope my sis did enjoy herself despite the initial stress :)

Facebook's Little Treats
As we all know, Facebook is currently the latest craze around, even our Profs and parents are beginning to use Facebook. (which is a funky yet scary thought). Although I've been holding on to a Facebook account since god knows when, I only started using it during my exchange because a) it was easier to post photos b) it the was the common medium used among the students, whether you are from Hong Kong, Switzerland, Canada, or Argentina. And only from last week, I finally started addressing that whole long list of invites on the right side of my homepage. It was kinda scary how it kept getting longer and longer as more and more programs get introduced to Facebook. I used to think that it was a list of stupid and complicating programs, and was wondering why my friends were spamming me. But as I started to explore the extensive list, I realised that I was getting addicted to these little ingenious add-ons!
In the last week, I started buying people drinks and pastries, decorating other peeps rooms (and working on mine), played pac man, and adopted a fluffy white tiger (which I haven’t figured out what I’m supposed to do with it. Lol)
I seriously think that by introducing these interactive little programs, Facebook has successfully evolved from the Friendster era. It’s not just a platform to connect people, but enables us to interact and shower bits and pieces of love to others. After all, there is no denying that it’s difficult to meet all our friends during school term, doesn’t mean we cease all contact. I just wish that they allow me to mass reject invites though… there is only ‘this’ amount of add-ons I need on my Facebook.

Mondays
I think I have a love-hate relationship with Mondays this semester.
On the down side, my Mondays are my longest days. I start school at 8.30am and have a second class from 3.30pm to 8pm. Between classes, it is usually filled up with meetings. So essentially, I can vote it as my longest day in my whole SMU life.
On the up side, the company is great. I spent my Mondays (8.30am to 3.30pm) with my SP groupmates: 3 year three boyos who have been doing projects together. They make the lesson and the meetings erm.. entertaining… with crap talking and jokes. Vf is the head crap talker, and tk is the backup crapper who sides vf cuz he know he will lose the battle if he takes his own stand :P. wj is often on neutral ground, sometimes on their side, sometimes a receiver of their jokes too. I seem to be always on the losing end, though I try my best to hold my ground… the rest just goes right past me. I think my ignoring skills have improved
Although I have to admit that at times hanging out with them is rather draining (considering that I tend to have very little energy in me in the first place. My ‘energizer’ battery only functions up to Week 2 of school term now), I still do enjoy it.
Last Monday, I had two virgin experiences. One was my virgin non-caderas related Frujch experience. The library is soooooo dammmmnn crowded on Monday afternoons that Frujch might just become my new hiding spot. Had a Chocomint milkshake which did a pretty decent job on brightening my Monday.
The second virgin experience was me finally doing my own design using Photoshop/InDesign for my VDM (Visual Design in Marketing)assignment. I’m sooooo proud of myself. LOL. Really! VDM classes usually work like this: Prof will first start class late, he then teaches for about 15 mins to half hour about some concepts of design. For the rest of the class, we are grouped randomly to do the assignment for the day. The practical assignments are a really good idea, but it is ABSOLUTELY DEPRESSING when you DO NOT know how to use Photoshop! (My OS system dieded so I did not have my lappie with me for several lessons). And considering the time limit and a missing lappie, I never got the chance to get hands-on experience. Last week was an exception cuz the assignment was pretty much an individual assignment….and I’m just so proud of myself! Haha. I know.. a bit bhb, but I suppose I finally learnt a tweeny bit of photoshop? It’s far from fantastic. but nonetheless a stepping stone? And I think I get a high from using Photoshop.
