Magical TurnAbout-- Let Me Spin A Tale, A ThouSaNd LighTs, A StaGe as Grande

todae in marketing class, the lesson very stimulating.. jerome loh keep challenging our answers to make us think further, more in- depth, just like in medisoc the lecturer oso did that to us.. they will keep asking us why this thing happens, who do u tink is responsible to this,if grafiti is a form of protest art then, why wud it be called grafiti again now that during street art festivals, in stead of doodling, its sprayed on canvases n given a limited space? So, seriously these questions really set me thinking.. are they true? And in marketing. we get assigned a project which lasts i guess about the whole semester or even longer.. And it is 30% of our whole grade.. a lot of weightage.. Now, to the title of the product we hav to suppossedly market will be the : "new green tea".. ok, seriously how many of us actually do drink tea, ice lemon tea excluded.. but i for one, don like green tea, red tea, yellow tea, or whatever colours of tea avaliable in the market now.. So panic starts to grab me.. how r we supposed to do this type of project..Past projects done by last yr students were on apple products which was so darn cool.. But now, well.. we r stuck wif this? hmm.. actually, y not we look at it in a different perspective, tis might be easier as the product need not be too techno type or involve a whole mass of gadgets..See, now it feels better, yea? So ok, we hav 2 projects now.. And that means we gonna buck up soon, no more slacking around and say that life is just like that.. A lot of work now.. And argh.. panic.. I hav not chosen my ccas.. now that NRA is out, what's more is dere? tis is gonna be so sick.. wish i can not join one but i guess its not seemingly possible unless u don wan to get into a uni, which i so want to.. psst.. so..
And when i see advertisements marketing a product now, i kinda think that these ppl are jus trying to con us into buying the product.. i tink about how is it beneficial or harmful to the society and what kind of marketing technique was displayed.. oh my.. see what the marketing class get me into.. now i hav to view advertisements in such a bad light.. well.. too bad! heeX.. (ps. seems a bit mean i guess.. better retract my words.. so hurtful to aspiring ppl who wans to dip into advertising..)
ok, my apologies first.. i guess i tend to jump from one event to the next, with seemingly no connection, except that all these matters and thoughts occur on this day.. well, i always end my post wif a thought, a feeling.. And today is no exception i guess.. " i tried to indulge myself in conversations,in the excitement and all when i'm dere.. but it seems that i m not there.. This is ironic, i m there physically but not there emotionally.. i don mean to tune out.. i meant to really listen and particpate, but i jus happen to be not really enjoying myself.. Everytime i m dere, i jus feel like an extra tire in a four-wheeled vehicle, its not exactly isolation but rather jus detached. i don feel close, i don feel a bond, i don really feel excited at any prospect, i don like the things.. Its a place of dread and distaste. all these said and done, what else can i do? i hav to spend long days there, i cant hate it.. i hav to embrace it. i hav to be rooted there, but i dont. is this my own doing, is it that i don give myself a chance to be in dere, is it that i m still living in the past; living in utter denial of what's happening around me? i keep asking myself, racking my brains, asking if tis is really what its suppossed to be.. but i cant get an ans! i m not enlightened.."
Sometimes, social discrepancy can be a troubling topic but yet its something we cant ever ignore even if we want to.. its all part of our life, part of being who we are, just like a social entity. We can try ways and means to jus leave things as disastrous as it might be or seperate urself of any social life.. but do u tink by doing this u will be happier? by doin this u will be getting what u call a beautiful life? i can tell u its not possible, just like how its not possible to deny the impact advertisements do to u..(haaZ, i m so influenced by marketing class now.. bonkers!) everything in this world when we are borned, are tied to one another and to the surroundings.. the invisible thread between us cannot be just sawed off simply, because here simplicity is not a word but rather complexity. i m still trying to figure out..
Why cant everything jus be simple and sweet? all the complications are driving me mad jus to even think of it superficially..
That's y secondary sch days are still de best: simple schooling!
