School Semester Ending Soon...& My Awesome Team Mates

My oral communications class is finally over!!! Ok technically not yet, because there are another 4 teams to present but the good thing, I just have to sit down and watch their presentation as mine is over and done with! Yayness.

Infact, my team became the first one to present because technically, one of the team members of the rightfully first team, decided not to show up. Because of her no show, we got an earful from the lecturer who usually doesn't mince her words but she does make sense, how odd that sentence is. 

For my classmate to decide not to come, because apparently she thinks she doesn't have enough good materials or whichever reason she has, to me it's a waste. Our semester is ending next week and she should have just got it over and done with. I mean I'm noooo public speaker material, I shudder at her looking at me present (apparently she knows I'm freaking out too) but it's all good when it's over. 

The thing is, if you have done your research very well, know your stuffs very well, and basically just kill it (or her) with your presentation, it's all good. I know I talked as if I'm some pro but we were all like dying prior to our presentation to the point we all actually came so much earlier just to prepare in case anything crops up.

I would say my team mates are awesome. I've heard horror stories, though so far, not from my class, although I would say that I still think that it isn't nice of her to leave her team in a lurch like that.It's not as though her team mates aren't nice or what. They really are and as team mates, they should help one another. Like I had some problems with my research, whether for this presentation or my upcoming business report for another assessment, but my team mates really helped  to give me pointers so that I am on the right track. For that, I'm really thankful and also because, we all did our part as delegated and we also have a good team leader who is also IT savvy.

Just like her, I'm not good at communicating but she really did well in her presentation, even without cue cards, but if she has made up her mind, I wish her all the best.

So yes, I have the last ICA (Individual Continual Assessment) this coming Monday for Business IT Applications and then just have to submit the report on Thursday and it's all good, baby! My next semester will be in April 21 but of course, I would have to wait for the cue to make the next payment. Yikes. I relied heavily on the money I've been making online which I have been saving for the last couple of months, from my bursary, and I've saved some from the December bonus as well. I will of course continue to work hard making the moolah online because it's my passion although yes, I have my off days.

It has been crazy for me working on my orders, studying for tests, doing my research for the final ICA and then juggling a full-time job. I have to wake up early so that I can clock in the time to make stuffs or do some research. I know what is the time I am most productive and most lazy. If I have no school on that day, it doesn't mean I will use the time to do my orders. I would rather rest well and wake up earlier. It's just how I roll.

So by next week, I will have one less thing on my plate now. 

Yay, can't wait for the long semester break!

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
