approaching borneo

yeah, this is the last week of my summer class! Just handed in the assignment where i had to prepare a media kit for a promotional campaign launch and despite having another imbecile on my pair work group, I managed to come up with like erm...88% of everything that was submitted. Not that I am complaining.

I mean...if I ever get a good grade for this class, I can so sure that it's really my job and I'd give myself a good pat on my shoulders. Though chances are that with the elite group of students in this small class size of 16, I'll be at the end of the bell curve again haha... Oh, did i mention a local minister's daughter is in my class? haha...and some local celebrity's younger sister too.

I'll be having a class test on writing a press release tomorrow and frankly speaking, i really do love this particular module I am taking. Who knows that the media are so bitchy when they get a press release from someone who does not know how to write it? (meaning, people without training in such stuffs and trying to pass off as a p.r. personal in the company) In fact, its gets sooo frightenly scary that the format is soooo embedde in news editors mind that they can smell if you are trained in such writings just be looking at the paper. Sadly of course, people in singapore are as usual too microscopic to look beyond the importance of such stuffs and think that such writing is idiot proof and anyone can churn out something similar.

Anyway, I'll have 2 more lessons and then coming Monday, I'll be jetting off to Borneo. Yes, 2 weeks of fresh seafood, and wonderful view of the south china sea, though it's fiji or tahiti I'd rather be at...Nonetheess, i hope the seafood buffet spread at the resort will be much cheaper than the one we had at the local Shangri la..
I'm all ready to be walking along the beach an enjoy a lovely sunset over the sea and immerse myself with the orang utan...ahhh...bliss...
Well, I would also love to have some fun on the water doing something sporty but frankly my dear...afetr one failed attempt at wakeboarding years ago, I serioualy never want to do it again...haha...
