Superstars at SIM?
Question Authority and the Authorities will question You.
A company is known by the people it keeps.
A person who can't lead and won't follow makes a dandy roadblock.
A morning without coffee is like something without something else.
It takes one tree to make 10,000 matches, but one match to burn 10,000 trees.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Quitters never win, and winners never quit, but those who never quit AND never win are idiots.
People who do the world's real work don't usually wear neckties.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
In my world, today is Friday.
In the real world, it is a Wednesday….all due to the fact that my lessons required me to be in school since Saturday till Tuesday. XP
Survived the four day marathon! Woohooo~ High 5 Yang Mui! I thought I was going to burn out … and I think I kinda did… but its all worth it in the end…
Come to think of it, I used to study for longer periods during my JC days. Would go to school at 7.30am and study still 10pm odd…so why is it so different to stay in school for the whole day now?
The traveling time?
The environment?
The food?
I honestly wish the school were some how nearer to home, then I could really get my game on and study long term in school. *sigh*
Make do lah~
Yesterday:
Last ‘leg’ of the marathon.
Received some very nice SMSs.
‘Superstar’ thingy came to SIM.
Went for cell group.
Finally got to sleep.
Adding all those elements and other variables up, I conclude that it was a good day. Even if I still have got a lot of work ahead of me. The joy of the Lord is my strength!
Back to ‘Superstar’…it was rather interesting to watch the numerous individuals lining up to register for the pseudo-Idol programme … not as many people in the lines as I had expected though. Suntec is more assessable than my school anyway, but it is still good publicity for the Institution. A whole lot cheaper than the commercials by SIC and Stansfield which have been running on TV mobile and what not. No offence ET… but the commercials for Stansfield are a turn off for me…they do it(the commercials) in such a way that I am given the impression that they think they are snot nose all the way… what is so great about the school? I did not even know it existed until you told me you were studying there!
-clams down-
But I digress…
Watching all the people in those lines was pretty amazing. Like taking a step back and watching society in action… what sociological problem are we facing here that people can line up 5 hours just to sign up for a competition which they have less than XX% chance of winning and yet can go from calm to pissed off in a matter of seconds while in the middle of traffic?
I bet Gosling and Taylor would have loved to see the queue.
Yang Mui, Diana and I were even joking that one of us should go down and queue for the sake of research.
Participant observation – Covert and active.
In the event that the researcher won the competition… the interview would be a total laughing riot… we spent most of our UOL lunch break at the third floor looking at the crowds and making jokes about the cameras and the people on the second floor. You should have seen the people whom the media interviewed… the possibilities of what could have gone on in the background of the unstructured interviews are endless…imagine an interview with one of the head honchos of SIM:
Head honcho: Yes, yes…I think that it is going to be very good for our reputation…
-a body gets flung from the 5th story of the atrium and hits the ground behind the honcho just as the word ‘reputation’ is uttered-
XD
I think it helped that I brought Skittles along. What a sugar rush~
Oh yeah…before I forget…I saw Baolin in the queue as well… Haha…all the best ah! ^-^
Statistics UOL is the last lecture for my UOL series… I am at once glad and sad that I will not get to hear the tones of another ang mo.
Dr. Celia Philips was my lecturer yesterday. She reminds me of Ms Rivera…one of my PE teachers in JC… anyone remember the ‘bum-bum …. Bum-bum’? Hahahhaa…
Got this in an e-mail from Nadia:

Do you agree?
Don’t have much to say on my part, I am pretty much dyfunked in the spelling department anyway…
Sheena,
You going to Sonia’s chalet?
Yang Mui: “plan B: BURN the paper for light during night study..saves electricity..so many sheets of paper, think can last for 50 yrs..ok..i'm kidding..”
Erm… Plan C please…;P
Stalker: “wow.. to think i search my name and came across your blog mentioning me -.- HAHAHAA.. u must be the sharon tay i know! HAHAHAA :P confirm plus gurantee plus chop.”
Stalker? Do I know anyone by that name? Hrm… don’t mind me… how many people know a ‘Sharon Tay’? How many ‘Sharon Tay’s do they know?...
-grows more confused-
Nuff for now… I got things to do, places to go and people to kill… oppz…did I just type that out? ... what I meant to say was:
I got studies to do, piano to wreck and life to drain…
Don mind me… I am just in the process of losing it… still got so much to do… I have not reached my breaking point yet… my syntax is still good… when it changes, I know I have done my best…
-dives into the pile of study guides, notes, mind maps, text books, etc…-
