the l'oreal brandstorm competition is finally over.
at least, the presentation is over :)
what a relief.
the past few weeks have whizzed past
with all 3 of us being high strung, stressed and grumpy
where we'd just bunk at chel's place, eat fruits for breakfast, lunch and dinner..
tag team to sleep for max four hours daily
skip lectures
be grumpy
rush powerpoint
edit notes
be grumpier
sleep lesser as the deadline drew closer
i think ive never been so quiet in my life
i just withdrew to myself and stared fiercely at the computer screen of
information abt biotherm and the survey results
boy, am i glad i took sc2101 module and i can use my quantitative analysis skills to use.
i talked so little and looked so grumpy
i think its scary.
but i am seldom like this,
so actually, i am quite nice, lah :)

the presentation was nerve-wrecking for me
cladded in professional executive suit and skirt and hair tied oh-so-neatly
with make-up
it was like THE professional corporate world of presentations
granted, ive been working as marketing and events before
but never had such a prestigious chance to present at a competition b4
esp being in arts, and not having formal presentations as such
a good experience though i ended up feeling very small
but i reall really did my entirely best
its like a little dream that i fulfilled
that is to join such competitions and to be able to present confidently.
yup, put a check list to that and we shall see if our dreams can be further worked on when 6 february comes.
the results will reveal if we have passed the first stage of pre-case sypnosis
and determine if we have a chance to fight to compete on national level at paris!
:)
i stood straight and confidently, without little movements.. so to aaron, who is most probably reading and grinning, thanks very very much for all the tech support and pointers :)

now with l'oreal competition down (for the time being),
with work down (for the time being)
we have the DRIVING TP test on 26 january! (horrors of all)
i swear i still drive into the wrong lanes, i cant cut lanes for nuts, i get so nervous that i change gear from gear 3 to neutral gear, my U-turns suck totally, my instructor wants to die laughing from guiding my driving, i drove into the opposite lanes... yes... and my test is in 5 days.. i must be outta my mind to even take up driving in the first place... :( i still dont know when and where to turn my car into.. sigh...

and next.. school.. i've been skipping too many lectures for the first two weeks..
time to get back in'sync with work.. tutorials.. lectures... projects...essays.. how nice.... what a 'big' change from wat im doing now..

next in line: marketing project to rush for company

Singles' nite @ newsroom bar to be organized for company

guitar classes
