i've had an enriching evening today attending the marketing forum featuring marketers from ACNielson, Asia Pacific Breweries, IBM, Saatchi & Saatchi, Seimens and Singapore Retailers Association. these speakers talked about their companies and marketing in general, and clarified marketing myths and also what kind of job applicants that a marketing department would look for especially in fresh graduates. not exactly mind-boggling stuffs. but it suddenly dawned on me that my business education will actually be useful in future. i mean i always knew that the things we learn in school are for us to apply when we graduate and go into the workforce, but i never expected the intensity of application could be that much.

a good plan or idea or theory is worth nothing if it's not carried out well.
i can type a whole load of shit about this but it'll be too embarrassing.

juz recently, paul has given me a new hamster. it's my first pet hamster. and my 2nd pet. my dad bought me birds as pets when i was little, and he would cut the wings so that the birds can walk around the flat and not fly away. i can imagine you cringing right now. well, the wings grew back. and some died and some flew away. i had green, yellow and blue birds. not sure what the breed is, but birds of that breed are still selling at some pet shops. my favourite was the blue one (hence i only consider that bird my pet) cuz it's a only a baby. finally when all the rest of the birds died, leaving only the blue one behind, some distant malaysian relative's son who was around my age opened the cage and the blue bird flew away. i was only 6 or 7 at that time. i cried like crazy. i will always remember that guy for that. he's all grown up and all, like me. but he freaking let my bird fly away and caused me misery.
oh ya, the hamster. i've named it hamham.. hammie.. bought a cage that's really nice for him.
my siblings are gonna like him =)
back to projects and assignments and misery.
