Decided to take a short break from research methods and blog something! Wheee..

Was reading a case off the crimelibrary website cos' I was kaypoh..haha. The cases mentioned in forensic sci are pretty interesting, but very lacking in details. So the curious me decided to find out more about a particular case...which turned out to be damn freaking long! I ended up wasting so much time being engrossed in reading up about it. When technically speaking, I don't need to know so much for the exam. Oops. >_<

Anyway..it was while reading the case that I realised how lucky I really am..Compared to those poor victims of senseless and horrible murders and attacks..I'm practically in a safe haven here. I mean, unpredictable things do happen at times, but still, I do feel very fortunate after all..even if sometimes I feel that things don't go my way, or I grumble that others have it better than I do..I should stop thinking that way! Cos' I really have so much to be thankful for. =)

- I have a wonderful family who loves me to no end and caring parents who, while appearing overly protective at times, it's simply out of concern and for my own good. =)

- My daddy is the bestest! He teaches me so much about life, forgives me when I make mistakes, and tells me how to be a better person. And he's crappy! He makes me laugh so hard that I can hardly catch my breath. And I love breakfasting with daddy! It totally makes my day. =)

- My mummy rocks! She's the funniest and blur-rest mummy ever! The one who nags at me to study hard and take care of myself..haha. The "nagger" of the family. But we all appreciate it. Lol. My affectionate mummy who always worries I have not enough to eat, and who indulges me with things I love. =)

- My crappy sister who can talk so much rubbish she goes totally out of point hahaha. But she can be sweet as candy! Buying things for me even though I think that's my job. Lol. While we do quarrel at times, and we're not as close as I'd like..still, like what mummy says, I have only one sister in the whole world and that's you! Muacks! =)

- I heart my cousins! And my aunt of course. Haha. And my incoming cousin-in-law! =p Always pampering me and spoiling me at your expenses. Haha. Let's get together for mahjong soon! It's been ages! =)

- And then, there's my favourite boy. The one who can make me smile on the worst day, but also make me cry on the best day. Oops. Haha. My silly piggy who pampers me, does the sweetest things, who's been through ups and downs with me, always there for me when I need a shoulder..*ilu! =)

- All my friends! Although I'm not the most dedicated or wonderful friend around, you pple are important to me! Cos' without all of you, I'd just be an empty shell..one can't live without friends! I may not say it often, show it much or even keep in contact the way I should..but i really cherish every single one of you. *huggs. =)

- I am skinny! Not the best figure around, but I'm happy with myself! Must thank my daddy and mummy for the genes! =)

- My many physical imperfections! I shall stop complaining about them cos' they're so minor as compared to what others have to live with..after all, it's still me! =)

- My mountain of debt that's going to make me tear at my hair once I graduate. Hahaha. Cos' it's a reminder of how hard I must work in order to clear them asap! And it's a blinking signboard telling me how fortunate I am that I even have the chance to take loans to study in university. =)

- My grandma who's no longer around..but she's been my source of motivation for many years. The most wonderful granny anyone can ever have..the one who supported me all the way, encouraged me to study hard and do well..spoilt this granddaughter of hers silly.. I fulfilled my promise to you even though you weren't around by then..and I will continue fulfilling the hopes you had for me. =)

- That I stay in hall! Makes me appreciate how much time I can save travelling, and makes me miss home so much more! =)

- I love running! Although I haven't ran in the longest time ever. Oops. Running gives me a good workout! And hopefully, a good figure. HAHAHA. =)

- I love today! And everyday from now on! Even exam days. Lol. Cos' each day is a brand new day with so many things in store, whether good or bad, they're all learning experiences and part of the journey called life. I am lucky I get to see the sunrise and sunset, lucky that I get to breathe in the fresh air of every new morning, and say sweet dreams to pple I love when the day ends. As they say, every ending signals the start of a new beginning! =)

I have so many many many more things to be thankful for! But I shall stop here cos' I've spent a long enough time on this and thus! Neglecting my notes. Uh oh. Haha. It's back to books! Today is such a pretty day with the sun shining so brightly and happily..means my clothes dry faster too! And smell nice after that. Lol.

I am a lucky girl! *huggs everyone. =)

I feel uber stupid!!

Thought today was the last 213 lec, so I decided to be a good girl and wake up early to go for it. Supposed to meet ps in the LT also, but when I was nearing, there was hardly anyone around. Just didn't feel right la. Saw light from under the doorcrack so thought lecture was ongoing..then I opened the door, and voila!

Empty LT. >_<

Such a dumbass right. No lecture and I didn't even noe! Saw ps coming when I was walking away from the LT, and the 2 of us just really stood there and omg! No lec! Argh!

So I walked back all the way to hall again. Ah well. At least I'm up early instead of wasting my morning sleeping like a pig. Haha. The only good thing about it. =p

I got back my assignment 3 grade! Ms tsai is like uber fast la. Haha. I sent to her yesterday afternoon and she emailed me my grade in about an hour! Efficiency to the max man. Lol. Anyway, she gave me an A! Happiness! Haha. Really happy with my assignments for 212 cos' the grade improves with each one that I hand in..from B- to A-, then to A! Though A+ would have been nice, I know my work isn't of that standard la. Haha. But still! Happy enough! Gives me a sense of satisfaction..I must work harder! If I do well enough for the finals, maybe I can get that elusive A! =p Just a pity that the assignment weightage decreases with each assignment. So technically speaking, the highest weightage comes from the assignment I did the worst for. Oops. Haha. Well, at least I improved! =)

Supposed to collect my phone ltr from the service centre..not sure if I should. Super waste time to travel all the way to suntec, collect it and come back again. What more exams start next week! But if I don't collect later, I don't know when else will I collect liao..the closer it gets to exams, the less likely I'll go. Hmm.

If it gives me the same problem a third time after servicing twice...I am so gonna kick up the hugest fuss ever man. And I have every right to do so! My phone became faulty on the 3rd day after purchase la. Like wth. 3 days only and it spoils! Then I sent for servicing, got it back, within the same week, the problem recurred. So effectively speaking, my phone isn't even 2 weeks old and I already sent it to service twice. And both singtel and nokia say they don't have a 1-1 exchange policy. It's about time they started reviewing their so-called policies, or risk losing more customers.

Daddy was quite fierce at the service centre, definitely a dissatisfied customer with an equally displeased daughter. He insisted on a handset exchange, but they were equally insistent in refusing. All they could say was to advise us to send it in for servicing a 2nd time to find out the problem and rectify it. And should there even be a 3rd time..they said that they'll "consult the senior tech and see what can be done". In my words, if it happens again for the 3rd time...they're dead. Simple as that.

I've been a loyal nokia user since day one man. All the 4 handphones I've gone through are all nokia. Brand loyalty I guess. But after this incident..I'm seriously going to have to reconsider them. What's the point if their product keeps malfunctioning? If it's just that batch out of all that's faulty, I can still close one eye if they can guarantee it won't spoil anymore, or if they change my handset without fuss. But they don't even want to admit their mistake and can't tell me the problem. I'm just a 2nd year marketing student but already I know the importance of making your customers happy. Imagine if I stopped using nokia, and started telling others about my bad experience. Nokia may not feel it, but in the long run, they're going to realise that making me unhappy this time is going to cost them a lifetime of business from my family and I. And whoever else trusts our lousy experience. Simple as that.

We shall see. If they can't give me a satisfactory explanation when I go collect my phone...it's game over for them.

Sounds so mean right? Haha. I can be a bitch if I want to. But for the right reasons la. I don't believe in letting myself get pushed around. I have consumer rights k! Haha. And no, that does not mean the customer is always right. It depends! Lol.

Okay I've typed plenty of rubbish. Need to start studying! Or I'll have wasted my time waking up early. Hahaha.
