The Terrorist Lecturer

A while back, I think it was last Friday, the terrorist lecturer once again decided to spend some time terrorising young hearts, instilling fear in each one of us. But seriously, she thinks she'd get to me?!

Anyways, she was going on and on with her 'advice'. And she didn't really mean 'to scare all of you, just telling you facts'. But the facts that she provided were pretty creepy. In very simple terms, she said that with a Diploma in Biotechnology, you're not going to be going far.

So she spent like 20 to 30 minutes lecturing us on how we should cultivate the habit of reading scientific journals and stuff to get used to the large input of knowledge, so we wouldn't have to struggle in out 2nd year and 3rd year, blah, blah, blah...

Then she gave us some figures: "Every year, be it 2nd year or third year, there will always be 5 or 6 students that are removed from the course. So what does it mean?"

I thought to myself, "That means it'll be better to be kicked out in 2nd year, so at least you won't have to waste one more year."

P.S. I don't like the word 'waste' 'cos it's so negative. I don't believe in wastages.

Despite her being such a terrorist, I thought she kinda made some sense too. It's very amazing how much sense she makes out of things. She practically struck that chord in me. She had said that if you were not going to become a scientist, you might as well get the hell out of the Life Sciences industry and pursue something else like Business, just as long as it's not Life Sciences. I was like, "Yeah! That's right!"

As such, her terrorising session of 'advice-giving' actually turned out to be really inspiring. I still find it hard to believe that I'm inspired by someone so stern and cold. But the important thing is making sense, which she definitely did. I'm still pretty dazed from disbelief.

I definitely not see myself in the Life Sciences industry. Do you?

Gone is my Fragrance

Well, it doesn't mean I'm stinky. It simply means I missed out the Ralph Lauren Fragrance promotion a while ago. I was so upset when I saw the atrium of Century Square being occupied by something else.

It had been the Polo Ralph Lauren Fragrance road show of some sort. Then they had the Christmas gift pack for the Blue fragrance, which I completely love. But then it's all over. And it came with a free towel too! But it's over!

What the hell?!

Should've acted while I had the chance.

Let's observe a minute's worth of self-pity.

Now that it's over, I look forward to the next best deal that will magically present itself before me.

The Wondrous Bracelet

Yesterday, I was at Suntec City and came across this new store, "Soul Creations". Crammed with really cool accessories. Then I saw this stunning bracelet on display. Following that, I entered the store. The lady started talking to me. Blah, blah, blah, "Actually I was thinking of that bracelet on display."

She took it out for me, looked even better, sophisticated intricate details. Obviously not for me!

The lady kinda asked who it was for, guy or girl. I said for a female. Female as in my mother. So I was dying to see that on my mother's wrist. And the saleslady told me, "This just came in this morning, two of them, just sold one this morning too,"

"Yes, I'll take it!"

It didn't cost a bomb too. Not even 30 bucks! And my mother loved it! Looks so good on her.

And it feels like time for me to refresh my wardrobe. Sounds great, eh?
