hoops&yoyo

ever heard of 'em? they're soooo cute! those who have visited hallmark.com or received their ecards would probably have seen these two little funny creatures.. i just went through their website and found lots of fun stuff.. now tempted to order the two plush dolls for myself.. seems like they actually travel across the world and post many pictures on the web.. if i get them i'd bring them along when i travel.. hoops&yoyo: the journey with me.. that'd be cute ne~

show some love

got an email titled about the merger, but the page was pinkish with many heart-shaped pictures.. the content is entirely focused on the so-called "annual relationship survey" which i just realised existed.. very interesting topic.. and so i clicked the link, and went through the questions one by one.. sample question i pick: why would u prefer to date a fellow kellogg student? a)The same reason celebrities date each other - only another Kellogg student can understand my crazy life; b) Admissions has already done the pre-screening for me; c)His/her future earning potential is much higher than the average person; d)We can break the honor code and do our homework together.. pretty tough to choose, don't u think? hehe.. this will make february's merger pretty interesting.. just right for the valentine month! maybe i'll post the survey results once the next issue is out.. see how the kellogg crowd thinks about this ;)

making decisions

funny how we can relate many things we learn in class to real life.. i was at the point where i had to make a decision whether or not i want to go on with an interview.. i know, to many people, it sounds absurd.. why would anyone not want to make use of this opportunity? and it sounds like one is giving up even before giving it a try.. my situation adds a little bit of constraint onto it.. at some point i wonder if it's worth the effort, espcially knowing that i will never make it to even the 2nd round anyway.. then again it's like i hear voices saying "just try, and see how it goes.." if only i have some solid data or info on this type of situation.. maybe i can start drawing my probability tree :) yes? or no? which way to go? what are my expected returns on the different scenarios? i think i regret waiving mckeon's decs 434 now.. i realised i missed many awesome professors! and now that it would be useful for my fin 2 class, i regret even more.. *sigh* :: all that said, i did make my decision (pressured by the response deadline of course).. will take my chance and go through with it! yep! and that means i'm gonna have to do a lot more prep.. midterms are also around the corner, gosh.. everything is just clashing here.. just looking forward to the week after next when all is done.. at least for a while :)

day is gone

a day goes by really quickly again.. is it true that time flies when you are having fun? i might have to disagree with that for once, given a day like today where there are things to be done and yet i have not accomplished much.. time can fly without giving (that much) fun i suppose.. or maybe i'm just in the end-of-day mood where everything is about to shut down.. sounds depressing doesn't it? hehe.. nah it's really not that bad.. :: will be going out for my rehearsal in twenty minutes.. i actually realised the rehearsals really help freshen me up many times despite the late schedule.. i think we will learn a new song tonite.. which reminds me, oops, i should practice a bit! time to walk into the cold again.. it's -4C, not too bad.. that would sound like madness if i tell friends back home ^_^

winter wonderland

it is already half way into winter, yet i heard this is not as cold as it normally gets.. we are in mid january and there's not much snow outside.. what a pity.. it was snowing the night before, but it's already melting and there's no new snow.. after a day or two, white snow on the roadside turns into grey or even black which is rather disgusting.. now i think back to december when it first started snowing and everywhere was all white.. my friends and i went out for a photoshoot one day.. it was just wonderful - with the sun shining and the snow glittering.. too bad we didn't make any snowman..

the launch

here i am, stumbling with the beginning of this so-called personal page of mine. even though this very first posting would soon be "out-of-sight" and stored in the archive, there has to be a beginning of everything, right? and of course i wanna start off with a big bang! hehe.. okay okay, not launching anything that significant here.. i'll just stick to my humble, amateur writing, in hope of sharing with you the snapshots of my life..
