ohmmm

ohmmm ~ ohmmm ~ ~

meditation helps calming down my anxiety and bad mood.

I may sound harsh but these are the facts.

To whom it may concern,

Being a final year marketing graduate, good satisfying level of english proficiency is EXPECTED.

Don't gimme bullshit work which I don't get the ideas. such as :

 ' Hence, with this strategic marketing activities and plans that XXX produces would manage to enhance the company to achieve their mission and goals.' ....and that's why PROOF READ/PEER-REVIEW IS ESSENTIAL, always said by tutor Amanda.

Be professional and have the team spirit to support each other.

Be responsible and I expect equal contribution of work from every team members.
I mean, GOOD work.

Respect each other's opinion.

and also I don't mind a little bit of paraphrase from Senior's work.
but, pls BE A SMART paraphrase-er

Thanks for the understanding. pls dont be angry.

Kind regards,
Devilbabies

Searching my direction

Just the day after the trip and I start working days&nights completing my major assignment (the mother of marketing horror- a full marketing plan.)

Hell yeah I've been brainstorming throughout the week, typing typing n typing, chasing after the tram back to the city, eating, continue doing work, playing game/watching vid (short break), sleeping (my favourite part)...

I wonder why my timing always wrong. It ended up Im having many crazy chase-tram moments with friends. Bel said running has made her awake haha poor team mebers they're so exhausted except me. Im could be obssessed with assignments until both of them talked to me 'weiling you should get a rest, STOP DOING WORK! dont you feel tired?'
TIRED? nope I'm on the peak of assignment rush XD

But Im loving my assignment. it's heavy loaded but Im keen to carry out all the works except financial part pfff. Im super energetic thats because it's marketing, and this morning we had a date with Carl ~ <3
wohoo *slap* it's a MEETING NOT DATE

Partly it's also due to my first visit to the research institute office.
Yeh Im so excited it's been my dream to really get to see the environment of our uni's marketing researchers working into.  Carl showed us the meeting room which we're going to have our final presentation in it. At that point of time he swiped his access card and the glass door flung open, I could feel tonnes of pressure on my shoulder as we walked in. TENSION. my team members feeling the same too. that that that room is SCARY and huge. wth wth wth. 'So this is where you're gonna present your mktg plan infront of me and the board of directors..' wth wth wth wth...and rumour said that John will be in the BOD list too shit he's a mktg genius we're doooooooomed. and fellow senior ppl fr our mktg sch. wth wth wth wth wth wth wth wth.

After the meeting, he led us out from the office, holding the opened door for the ladies (so gentleman. you dont get this treatement from your lecturer back in malaysia !) ..I saw one of the professors in one of the rooms as we passed by. I know her, she's the course coordinator for my favourite subject Advertising, a very successful researcher and what we're learning now are based on their research studies. The office was awesome, my marketing idols are there hahaha (fanatic enough)

My lecturers and tutors so far they've been such excellent& professional teachers. I wish to be part of them. Sarah got her summer vacation scholarship and get to work with the institute whoa I must say that she's a brilliant woman, and she asked me to apply too but Im just too scared. haha.
I guess Im still afraid and dislike to work alone XD
As Bel mentioned in the plan, TEAM SPIRIT, even Carl likes the idea =)

not a MasterCrap

I'm definitely not a master of crap. while we're addicted to MasterChef Australia. some more when it's smth about communication and information system *rolls eye*
CISB exam showed me the six-page of case study, and I showed her the white flag.
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
but safe enough to pass that's all I would say.

Next, the advertising exam.
It's my turn to show who's the boss.

Rounding System

This is Devil.B's first time to disapprove of rounding system.

what difference can a rounding system makes ?

from 10.8 to 11marks
from 10.45 to 11marks.

and my marks ?
I got 11.4375,
after one decimal place of rounding up,
still got a 11.

sighing.

almost get to be the top student in my Personal Selling tutorial class in terms of participation marks.
no one got 11marks over 15 before rounded up yeah.

oh well, after the rounding up,
we are equal.
more students are on the 11-range.

just accept the fact.
that Luck lady is not on your side, Devil.B.
Perhaps she decided to drop by during my bmpp paper,
that would be good!

---------edited------------

Perhaps she heard my call.
Within ten minutes after I posted my blog post,
I received Melanie's email regarding the advertising report assignment return.
Cheers, my proposal is going to be submitted to Wokinabox management for real consideration
on their marketing and advertising campaign throughout Australia !
I am sure that there are heaps of better proposals prepared by other students being picked.
This is amazing and I feel happy for the rest too (such as Sara...etc) =)

Next sem: Australia oyster industry in local and international market! (ok that's international marketing subject's assignment, which I am NOT interested to study anymore, but haven't drop my enrollment...hmmmm)

By fate

By fate,
By destiny,
yes,

it's the opportunity
to say gdbye



to friends that are leaving *sobbs* Sachi, Rin etc
and to this hectic semester....

Juggling between 2 assignments

Advertising brief - 2,000 words
CISB business report - 3,000 words

The fact is atrocious enough
I know I might loosing one of the assignment's marks,
I don't wanna fail.
2 assignments shared same due date.
When I am doing Wokinabox, I think of Google and Microsoft.
When I am doing Google and Microsoft, Wokinabox comes into my mind.

doomed.

browsing videos on youtube,
and I found one of my lecturer's video.
she's good.
from the Ehrenberd-bass institute of marketing science.
what we UniSa marketing (& advertising )students had learnt so far,
mostlyare derived from the research results, theories that came up from our very own researches & professors.

WTF m still blogging ?!

at this crucial time.
tmr is the due date
and devil.b is....blogging.
some more later going out to celebrate STP's 21st burfdae.

at the edge of chaos,
edge of time,
time-pacing.
game theory.

seriously?!

assignment rush !

bmpp, 1k 700 of words left. *edited 4 hrs later*
I know that I'm far behind fr others muahaha
whatever, I am a slow learner.
I do things SLOW

Today I had a talk with Sarah while we were waiting for PS tute to start,
after we've been classmates for 10 weeks,
that was just the first time I had a long personal chat with her =)
yay now I have one more fren that wll be taking same subject with me in SP5 !
nice to hear that she had 2 lovely daughters that share the same birth month.
and her lovely husband that fetch her to uni everyday.
awwwwwww
You are such a lucky woman.
and I wondered how I will become in the next..err...5 years?
marketer ? researcher? banker? or still studying???
I just want to stay at home with my parents and SLACKKKKKKKK

aiks I hate future, it comes soon enough (eh? this sentence sound like fr someone's blog)
(sorry I quote your slogan ya)

I am a fan of John (haha the lecturer John of my personal selling subject)
as mentioned on my previous post, neil is a wonderful & experienced salesman whom I am proud to have him as my tutor, and John is a knowledgeable & dedicated man whom I learnt a lot from, in terms of sales.
like my dad, he is a good salesperson. I respect these people.

John's article commented on sales and marketing, was published yesterday on The Advertiser (adelaide's newspaper- which is my daily bible). wow. I never get to know that my lecturer is soooooo geng ? (devilbabies' limited english vocab just make her pissed off everytime)
what I am gonna say is, people outside the uni (industries experts/public/salespeople watever) pay heaps of money to attend seminar/talk to get sales & business advice fr experts like John.
and as for us students, we never appreciate the fantastic knowledge that he is willing to share with us. instead, some skipped his lectures some slept during classes OMG
since then, I always pay 99% attention to his lesson, as i know, when I graduate end of this year, when i step out from the uni/institution, head towards the working society,....I will never got a chance to get consultation fr anyone anymore. Perhaps can, but I gotta pay heaps money for a good business advice from people like John (personal selling) & John (BMPP - in marketing planning). Just like in malaysia, those motivation seminar or How to make heaps sales blah blah bla that kind of event.

well, people, appreaciate the knowledge passed down to you  =)
happy belated teacher's day !

p/s:devil.b not claiming that all tutors are good. there's still some -spoilers- out there.

oh, May !

cold & dry weather makes my fingertips cracked all the time.

and lotion/moisturiser is my saviour !

the top picture shows a SMALL part of UniSA campus,

this is where I walked back home to catch a tram every Wednesday (see the tram?)

the Hawke building is on the left (where my CISB lec was conducted)

Yap Ze Ling, your wish is granted =)

here's how my new red hoodies fr Cotton On looks like.

I adore hoodies,

and also because that it has Paris scenery prints on it !

c'est bon !!!

the mirror is weird I know,

It costed $10 only,

the cheapest we could get.

If i could finish typing my bmpp assignment on 19/5,

I swear,

I am gonna stop visiting cotton on until my last exam  paper on 2nd July !

the swear is not powerful enough?

hmm then I am also gonna stop having my Best Friend Mr Oreo till 2nd July !!!

this is hard =(

oh well, 2nd july.

and my very first Oz fren is leaving on the 3rd lolx

kinda sad (berry sad, ok) 

cuz no fren will talk to me in the class anymore

no one will sit with me anymore

what's next sem is going to be like ?

I dunno anyone else in the class ! not AGAIN !

I enrolled all the classes by myself, alone.

by fate, I met some nice ppl and we are friends.

what's next sem is going to be like ???

well, foreigners cant wait to come & study in aus

and the locals cant wait to leave aus & study overseas,

dunno why.

but that happens on us too.

***

I love autralia radio station especially Nova 919

Fuzzy arrows

I am lost
Assignments and tutorials are drowning me.
I am scared
I couldnt cope with my study.

...like those fuzzy arrows...you'll get to the right point somehow. urgh recap BMPP.

"when there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by...you'll see the sun come shining through, for you."

yo, where the hell is my Motivation ?!

luck, perhaps.

(story A)
once upon a time
someone asked me why I was staring/looking watever...like that.
and recently, I found the answer,
five words:
那小子真帅

some kind of charisma that we couldnt take our eyes off.
that's what happened.
out of ten, twenty, or more,
I think I met the best, so far   =)

____________________________________________________________________________
(story B)

During today's advertising tute,
Melanie distributed the marked papers back to us.
In astonishment, I got a ridiculous marks, that
enough for me to hug the paper & sleep whole night.

I hope luck falls into my BMPP too, but it did not.
___________________________________________________________________________

oh yeah, Glee Season 2 episode 1 is airing tonight at Channel10.
yesterday it showed a sneak preview of the new episode
Rachel is awesome, as always.

The Day has come

I alway get emotional easily especially when Thursday comes, i think, BMPP has given me a lot of hard times and I am giving my best to win over the challenges every week. I can cry for nth. almost every week something bad will happen, not really bad, just that It cause some impact that my heart pains everytime I think of It. wth i shall stop that. dun ask me what happen, long story to go and I don't wanna to walk you through again. All these are just psychological effects and I know I will get over them, soon. I will try my best to stay here as long as i could, this place is lovely, people are lovely, they give you positive comments, they acknowledged your work, and that makes me happy. 'well done' & 'you did a great job' & 'thank you'. ahahaha how I love to hear those. Neil and John gave my group a lot of good comments, hey ang mohs are very generous in giving compliments or i should say they are very polite XD eventhough we really did smth bad.

heart adelaide.

ok now that I am back to the cheerful devil.B. now it's time to do my advertising tutorial.

Feeling good

01 - Joshua Radin And Schuyler Fisk - Paperweight.mp3

crumpets breakfast with butter, honey and jam =)
Wednesday, here it goes.

and I had my most cheerful Wednesday so far since after I started my study.
Neil (my PS tutor who is a very dedicated mentor) acknowledged my work.

Despite some miscommunication and misunderstanding problem happened last week,
we are getting along better and better.

meeting again for this Good Friday.

Personal Selling AGAIN

We discussed on Monday. 3 hours.

We discussed on Tuesday. 10 minutes.

We meeting today, Wednesday. 2 hours.

we've been brainstorming since PS tutorial at 11am, having a quick lunch together, then proceed to the library till 2pm, kai boon n rio left for their BCB discussion, grady decided to skip CISB (communication and information system in business) lecture at 2pm and I went for that lecture, BUT finally I fall asleep at class & listen nth.

cuz I was so tired. and CISB was so boring since the first week.

conclusion ?
CISB nth achieved
PS almost got to the point
BMPP dying for tmr (aint start my analysis for the >70 pages of readings !!!)

De-stress time !

********************************************************************************
Our 3rd attempt of sweet & spicy pork.
Delicious.

Things started to get tougher

and tougher...

definitely i miss the days back to taylor's,
my classmates
my housemates

emo time.
and my best friend, Mr Oreo chocolate biscuits, not with me right now.
and Tim Tam, that i stored in my fridge.

what I realised was that,
sometimes I could be too excited over somethings but the outcomes/feedbacks are not as good as I thought.
Conversely, I could be too pesismistic on certain matters but things just turned out to be fine.
They works.

ok, time for BMPP 1000 words analysis.
urgent. have to submit to Lam before sunday,
which I am supposed to go for a dolphine cruise at Port Adelaide.
and also have to prepare discussion points with grady and the rest on monday.
DAMN WEI LING DAMN !

screwed up.

oh no BMPP

BMPP presentation are based on 3 reading materials that John has assigned to us.
we have to present the key points fr the readings and analyse them.

Looking at all of my tute mates sitting in front of me,
I was so nervous and I trembled.
Furthermore, the table arrangement in my tute class was like American homeroom style,
semi-circle that type, where you get to see everyone and everyone gets to see you.

but whatever, i think, just faster read through all the slides and my cue cards.

and Lam was pretending as if he's one of the international students,
so that we could obtain marking allowance fr Amanda (our lovely tutor)
(his native english speaking accent had revealed all, no point to act haha ! )

After the presentation I felt numb that any compliments Amanda has given to us I didn't listen at all.

at least, she acknowledged my hardwork. I am very satisfied with that.

and MOST IMPORTANTLY I have my instant BOOSTS fr friends
(thanks a lot for your support people)

have a nice day =)

Discussion

Welcome. pls change my blog url in your blog list =)

******************************************************************************


Today's Personal Selling group discussion @ library.

Grady said " DAMN WEI LING DAMN ! ......"

and when Rio came Grady said to him n Kai Boon " look, we gotta do smth, wei ling has done all her readings !!! "

I laughed non-stop. this ain't first time.

what happened was, I finished my readings, including textbook
(the chapter that we're going to present in the coming two weeks,
and as usual, the boys didnt prepare anything at all)

haizzz what a discussion, when most of your group members are not running through the text yet.

So, they're pretty amazed how am I PREPARED for the presentation discussion.

And I am AMAZED how they COULD allocate their time to finish the thick chapter by this weekend.

We'll see.

so far, personal selling subject is boring to me but I definitely enjoy my tutorials cause I have 3 funny group mates ( we're grouped together cause each of us at first has no group in the class. The rest got their groups of friends but we didn't. it turned out that four of us have to form a group & being the first group to present omg)

and I am still stuck with my BMPP presentation. oh no.

by the way, Rio's fr Hong Kong, Kai Boon is a Malaysian & Grady's fr Adelaide. *wink*

*********************************************************************************
Next post: My BMPP presentation with Lam.
