Last weekend was the last day of my BA20 classes as well as my birthday weekend..... pretty sad coz classes have ended...I think I will miss APMI Kaplan and Centrepoint's food...especially the kueh tutu we oh so loved from the Cold Storage...

Saturday just felt so weird...we all knew that classes were gonna end soon and that would be the last we would meet...well r'ships are formed and are developed over time...like me and my mates...we all had different opinions of each other...but who knew by having a multi-racial group, we turned out to be the best last minute planners…rushing to do our presentations on the last day…trying to cram different personalities into a 15 min presentation so as to not let anyone feel left out… AD’s last minute creativity, Ras’s excellent PowerPoint skills, Veron’s in-depth research and not forgetting out adopted member Joanna’s ability to blend into our group and able to tie everything together…

though we had our differences, we never let it affect our group and we all knew that if there is something that we have a problem with, voicing it out and thrashing out other alternatives and solutions would be the way to go…I’ve worked in many groups but somehow in this group, we seemed to complement each other and that was the most amazing part…we knew we could always count on each other for support, be it for studies or personal life…

I really thank god for Veron, Joanna and Debbie for putting some sense into me when I was going through a bad patch…we were the noisiest and we told to shut up in all the classes…Every lecturer must have remembered our group way too well……

let’s not forget Mr. K.L…Mr. Enthusiast……calling and emailing us to remind us about school…appearing in classes on the 1st day of each module in his one and only suit…constantly serving the nation….I now can sleep in peace…

I’m still pretty unsure whether I should do my master’s as of yet…. I think

I would give myself a few more years then decide….office work is really tough and if I were to my master’s now…I would really crack……I guess it now time to concentrate on my guiding exams which is on the 2nd June… I will be getting the itinerary on the 26th of this month…I can’t wait for this to be over…

Moving on to my birthday, my classmates wanted to surprise me by buying me a cake but I was with them all the time so they could not do anything…Mr. K.L then came in with some cakes and I had to hold that and pose…

the touching part of that was that the class sang “Happy Birthday”…I was like “aaaaawwwwww”… it was uber sweet of them…I normally surprise them on their birthdays when they are during class times, like Debbie’s and Veron’s and now they surprised me…I was really touched and honored…though a little embarrassed but they put a huge smile on my face…

after class, Luke was supposed to pick me up, but being new in Singapore, he got lost…finally managed to meet him at Golden Mile…we went out for dinner at Brewerkz…which for the record, sucked big time…the food wasn’t up to our expectations…

the company was great though…

we then walked over the bridge and off to TCC for some coffee…I was having a good time… We left Clarke Quay as we were tired and I reached home at about 10……managed to catch” 2 Weeks Notice”……always seemed to miss the movie for god knows whatever reason……somehow, I didn’t feel like going out and it was Saturday and not forget the eve of my birthday……at 12 midnight, my brother came in with this huge cookies and cream Swenson’s’ cake and on it there 2 big candles and 1 small candle…mom and bro said that no matter how old I get, I would be always 21 in their hearts……now aren’t they the sweetest????Veron messaged and wished me and so did my other friends……I slept at about 3.30am…no I did not go out at all……was watching Hindi movies…

the next day Mohan asked me out for a movie……we went to watch Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay……it was kinda weird……I mean Mohan is my MBF…and we have discussed stuff before…but watching it was kinda weird…after the movie, I met up with Luke and we went off for dinner…… Mohan could not join us so it was just the both of us…we went off to Billy Bombers and this time the food was good…I didn’t have any as I was full from the huge cheesy hotdog but Luke enjoyed his food… he bought me a beautiful necklace…it was awesome…while I had 2 “sex-on-the-beach” cocktail……

we headed of to Gotham after that…we took the train and boy was it crowded……reached Gotham and we ordered wine……the objective of the night was to get myself drunk and trust me…it didn’t take long……

Subash and his friend came for awhile and we had a good time……Luke was enjoying the attention around him until I came over…I guess most of them assumed that I was his girlfriend and we didn’t bother correcting anyone……we left shortly as I was pretty high and didn’t wanna drink……

met my other brother and both of them a had good time talking to each other…kinda figured……they both love the same kind of music……headed back to his place coz I was in no condition to go home……super embarrassing coz he was commenting about me snoring and sleeping with my eyes half opened……hahahahaha…anyway told him that I was way too smashed……

left his place at about 6 plus and reached home in time to watch “Dr. Do Little 2”……caught up with my Monday Night Laughs on Star World as well as my Hindi dramas on Zee……my flu was getting worse so I popped 2 pills and decided to read (realized that I have not read for a long time and all of my books that are left on my shelves are my academic stuff)……fell asleep shortly……woke up the next morning and the flu thingy was getting better at all……decided to take the day off and went to the doctor’s……apparently I had caught some kinda flu bug and needed a jab……brought home loads of meds to take…haiz……I think I gotta change my multivitamins……they ain’t helping……in fact I’m falling sick more often……
I feel much better and think that I was reading too much into stuff………in fact I think that my life’s gonna take on a new direction and I am looking forward to it……am not gonna dwell into what people think of me coz I think I have wasted too much time in that………It’s now gonna be about what I think is right and doing what I know is right……… I gotta get back to work now………

Ciao

Ps. I know many of you have been wondering about this new character in my life, Luke, and many have made the assumption that he is my boyfriend and all that so I am gonna set the record straight once and for all…Luke is my friend and we are JUST FRIENDS… if anything were to happen, I promise you guys would be the second to know(my family and friends come first)…

Pss. Oh yea……hello stalker………it doesn’t make a difference to me about your thoughts and views……u can shove them up your bloody arse for all I care……in fact I think you should take hike……

This what i wrote for a class reflection piece.....Surprised to get a Distiction.....


On the night before the presentation, the eleventh hour, we found out that the session 10 is from the course book and not the CD-rom as I had assumed. I felt upset and thought that I had disappointed the team. Even though no one blamed me, I could tell they were angry. Subsequently, we managed to gather our thoughts and decided to embark on a new direction, the actual given topic. Two nights before, 15 May 2008, everyone, excluding Ras, who was absent, decided to do a skit on a French man taking over a local chicken rice stall. This would cover our module of culture diversity. Ras was informed by Adrian calling him on his mobile the next day. Veronica, Debbie and I communicated through our mobiles trying to get some ideas about the skit and we decided to discuss them in class with the rest of out team mates.
Alas, that was not the case.
Finding out that we were on the wrong track, we quickly started reading the new chapters and debating on a new topic. I know that I can be dominating but I was trying to set an idea as no one had anything to say. Apparently, that seemed to be the wrong thing as an argument had erupted, making things progressively get out of hand and no one seemed to agree with anyone. Adrian was trying to absorb the new topic, Veronica was keeping mum, unsure of what to say, Debbie came up with an idea regarding her work place, Ras, Joanna and I started to debate on the topic that I came up with. Things got out of hand eventually. Joanna, Adrian and I went to another desk to come up with a skit while Debbie, Ras and Veronica were planning to work on Debbie’s idea. Since we were given the most time to present, we decided to stick on to the initial plan of doing the skit and having two different acts to depict the different effects of globalisation and the introduction of technology. I agreed and we delegated our duties mutually.
I agreed to plan out the PowerPoint slides for the conclusion of the skit that I was going to present while Adrian and Joanna would come up with the dialogues. Debbie and Veronica were to be the director of the other skit while Ras was supposed to come up with the PowerPoint slides. As it was late and the cleaners had to lock up, we decided to head home and to do our parts for the assignment.
Once home, we communicated through mobiles as well as emails. I started working on my slides and I called Adrian informing him that I would be emailing my slides for him to take a look at and to incorporate other information that I had missed out. I also told him that I do not have my thumb drive and asked him to save it on his thumb drive and asked him to bring it tomorrow. I tried to call Joanna but I think she was asleep as she did not answer her mobile. I talked to Veronica discussing the argument we had in class as well as the after-effects.
Veronica was worried that if we stuck to doing two different skits then Julia would assume that the team had split into two an we were doing our individual work. I agreed with her and told her that we shall discuss this at lunch tomorrow when we meet before classes.
Personally, the bigger the group, the harder to get consensus from as everyone has their own perspective and ideas. We have worked in a group before and we always seemed to get everything done with out confrontations. However, we believe that due to the high percentage of this assignment, it brought out the ugly side of us. It is sad as this is our last semester together and I do not want us to part with grudges in our hearts. Hopefully after tomorrow’s presentation, we could go out for a nice friendly dinner and we would be able to put everything behind us and be friends again.

This what my lecturer commented it :
Anita
You have provided a good account of the way that the group overcame a last minute hitch in the preparation of the presentation. You account is quite emotional but that is understandable given that you hold yourself responsible for the last minute problem. The cohesiveness of the group was demonstrated by the way in which the group pulled together an excellent presentation and your previous experiences have worked to ensure that the group worked together well in a productive manner.
Reflection piece grade – Distinction

Should men be allowed near women’s bags? I think not. I personally think that my bag is part of my personal space and I don’t want my partner carrying it as though it were to be his.

Imagine a man who looks like Brad Pitt, has the body of David Beckham and the height of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson slinging a dainty pink purse on his shoulder and looking ever so proud. It was as though that was not a purse but a HERMES messenger bag.

Disgusted? I know I am.

Needless to say, I am single. I have yet to find a man who can keep his paws off my bag.

Appended below is an excerpt of an argument I heard recently.

Boy: “Darling, don’t want lah!”

Girl: “If you love me, you will do it.”

Boy: “Everybody will laugh at me.”

Girl: “I don’t care! If you don’t do it, I will break up with you.”

Before you write this off to be another cheesy dialogue in a teenage sex persuasion scene, let me assure you that this argument took place in noisy, crowded a coffee-shop.

I was enjoying my dinner with a friend, Luke. I looked up from my plate and found a couple arguing. The object or the subject of their argument was a pink, furry handbag. It was the kind that would put Barbie to shame.

I looked at Luke, who was enjoying his fish head curry so much and was oblivious to the argument. I nudged him and he was irritated. I asked him whether he would carry his partner’s bag. He looked at me incredulously. “Are you out of your mind?” he screamed. I shushed him and we proceeded on with our dinner.

That night, that scene was playing in my mind. Dissatisfied, I asked my S.N.A.G. (sensitive-new-age-guy) brother. Apparently, he shared the same views as Luke. He would be rather hung by his genitals.

Articles have been written, blogs have been blogged and debates have been fought. Unfortunately, no one has come to a conclusion. Each to their own, everyone else would say.

An article in The Straits Times on 24 February 2008 - “Do Singapore Women Expect Too Much?” got me thinking. As a woman of today, I believe in being independent and that means carrying my own bag, no matter how big, heavy and shoulder-shattering it might be.

How can I expect equality in a gender biased society when I can’t carry a handbag?

On Labour Day, as my mother and I walked around our heartland shopping centre, we were surprised when we saw a total of 30 men carrying their ladies bags’. However, the ladies were no where to be found. These men were proudly displaying the fact that they were “taken” for one and all to see.

Needless to say, we found the men spineless and found out that the women are the one who “wears the pants” in their relationship.

In this day and time, I would like to see a man who could stand up to his girlfriend and tell her to carry her stuff and not to be intimidated and bullied into carry their bags.

Ultimately, in my world, the answer to the age old question of to carry or not to carry would be NO.
