Me in Montreal

Here's a little update about my life in Montreal. ^^ Hope wei cing wouldn't mind about this! ^^ This is actually a reply to my friend's email asking about my life in Montreal.

Dear wei cing, how r u? ^^ Im fine here, everything has been going well. I remember that I told you that I will write everything down in my blog but unfortunately, I didn't have the capacity to do it. ^^ It's all due to my laziness I guess. Anyways, my blog address iswww.ponichen.blogspot.com. But as you probably would have seen, I uploaded lot of pictures on facebook. Feel free to have a look in them! As of the blog, I will do it when I'm free^^ and provided that I'm hardworking. And I thought I might as well just tell you what's happening here in Montreal through this message^^.

My classes officially started last week, so i shall tell u a little about the classes here. ^^ My first 2 classes in my first day was boring, they are organizational policy and financial statement analysis, the last one of the day was international business, in which i fortunately have a know everything under the sun-lecturer. ^^ Thought some of the courses aren't as impressive as others, base on the courses structure which consists alot of in class discussion, I'm quite confident that I will have a good time in the classes especially when I don't have to worry about the grades. ^^ yes, student on exchnage only transfers back the credit, but not the grades! ^^ cool huh.

Ok, that's on the classes side, now let me tell u smth about the people that I met here. They are friendly in general. Haha, and this really trigger my interest to learn french so that I can discover more about the people and this lovely beautiful old city. ^^

So that's all for now, I'm running out of idea as to what to write here. I'm ready to explore more about this city in a coming few weeks and also to the region that's beyond the border of montreal i.e. quebec city and toronto! ahah, more if time and finance allow me to do so! By that time, I wish I'll have more to tell you! ^^

Now, tell me something about yourself! ^^ Anything will do! It's always great to hear from my good friend!

Be it good, be it bad.

Be it someone that's good, be it someone that's bad

We don't think bad about people

We just have to be ourselves, be truthful, be sincere.

^^ Wisdom by someone that I respect a lot.

用心 好好的去掃地吧！

Please sweep the floor with your heart and soul.

You will find something really different in yourself.

LovE YZ.

holidays thus far

the official beginning of my first day of holidays. ^^ had a satisfying brunch with phuong at The Deck, one of the best canteens in NUS. Apparently the orders are haywired..

But still, "memorably" presenting our group photo during the genting trip.
Love all of them to tiny winy tweeny litlle bits. Had fun with the gang, my wushu gang. Thank you. Quote from bernie: "5 days, more than 5 different nationalities, in less than rm 500", and I would add to it: " invaluable friendships".

the crying babes at the airport sending ji ye off.

back to the day when i was about to leave Singapore...my lovely cluster mates, had a great gathering at holland village.

Last but not least, we are good student.^^

2 issues

Just finished the marketing exam 4 hours ago. I'm supposed to be revising for the upcoming one now. However, my mind is pondering around 2 issues that I feel like sharing with you guys, here.

First one, and a less saddening one.
I always see people shaking their legs nowadays. Alright, so someone might ask, what's the big deal about that? Well, if you come from a traditional (or rather supertitious) chinese family, your parents would probably tell your that shaking leg= shaking away the money. haha~~~ that explains why I feel rather confused when I see people shake their legs. Until recently, the frequency of seeing this phenomenon is getting even highER! GUess what? A guy sitting on the left and another guy sitting on my right were both shaking their legs!!!! ARGH! that's very disturbing. I almost wanted to ask the one on my left stop shaking his leg, cuz he shakes like...for the whole 2 hours). Of course out of the kindness in the bottom of my heart, I didn't do that cuz i'm afraid that he might get too embarrassed and couldn't concentrate on exam. hahaha, i'm so KIND. Well, if you are interested in what happened in the end... I actually found a saviour! life saviour! A file which could block his leg, at least from my sight! (cuz it was an open book, ^^hence the file) ...alright that's what I wanted to share with you guys. Is it a little too random? or meaningless? hm~~~~ ok, to make my blog even drier, I've decided to reveal this too! :: I actually "googled" the cause of people shaking legs---mostly due to anxiety. -.- Is singapore a really stressful country????

Alright, I guess that allows me to start with the second issue that repeatedly disrupt my mind now. A friend just told me that a Malaysian girl, 22 years old, who was studying in 5th year dentistry in NUS (my current Uni) jumped off from a building in Singapore. Ok, can anyone justify this? can she justify this? I told my friend this: she missed the chance to see a lot of other beautiful things in life. I could still remember how I felt when I heard of the news, and the sentence that I uttered out was genuinely from my heart. I was shocked that I said that, now that I recalled. What are we getting ourselves into? LIFE IS PRETTY, Treasure it.

Fisherman's Friend

It's gaining its popularity again! Oh what do i mean by again?
Well, i think this product has been around for don't know how many decades and it's been selling good. However, there's always one problem, you would have to fold the packet each time you take one out of the it. troublesome and unglam? hm, it's probably not for the macho teenagers.

Recently, I see everyone is having a packet of it, that's what i mean by slowly gaining its popularity back. One of the possible reason i could think of is~~~~ the new package!

It now comes with zip&lock packaging instead of the good old paper (environmentally friendly) packaging. In terms of marketing, this is to increase consumer's utility in form. The convenience of consuming and the taste of the lozenges will also be maintained unlike previously whereby it is always "moistured" if not folded properly. Oh, one brilliant idea. why didn't the company thought of it earlier? ^^

p/s: haha, this is a completely random post in the midst of revising marketing. ^^
