Dragged myself up from bed on Tues morning to go to work. Our first customer came at 1045, when usually they would appear at 10, at e most 1010 on a weekday. Even when the customers started streaming in, we were still v seng nang. Don't know y they put 4 of us on duty for opening when it was a public holiday. Haha. Then came this young American couple. I think they were kissing abt 85% of the time they were there. Haha. Really.

Cos coffee club's starting to sell new drinks this week. Mostly ice-blended drinks lah. So everytime there were extras we would pour it into a cup and each of us would sample a bit. If u like coffee, the iced expresso is nice. Cos the coffee taste is really strong and aromatic, and they have coffee bean bits in it. The summer apple's not bad too. Got lime and apple taste, so itz v refreshing. Think Jane will like it. The rambutan one is not bad, if u like the taste of the canned cocktail syrup. Haha. And there's the standard iced mocha. Haven't tried e rest yet. Will tell u guys next time. Haha.

Ahling called me while i was walking to the bus stop after work. She wanted to ask me abt accounts. They teach them really fast in NTU. It's like they've covered weeks' worth of what we covered in poly in 2 weeks, perhaps more. Fast right. No wonder she's so confused. They have additional stuff somemore. Waited super long for my bus. By the time i reached home it almost 3 and i went to take a nap immediately. Ate bread with those "soft-boiled" eggs for dinner. Seems that i've been eating bread e whole day. I ate 2 buns from breadtalk, then a s/w from subway, and bread again for dinner. Haha.

Went to slp a lot later than i expected. Y? All because of my bloody marketing project. Pardon my language, but i felt really fustrated and fed-up at that time. Can't believe i have such grp members. One of them told me 2weeks ago that he would edit this part that we had done wrongly. I expected him to have done it by e next tutorial, but he wasn't there. When i msged him asking abt it, he told me that he'll send it to me the next day. And the next day, he asked me if he could send it to me the next day, which was last Thurs. of cos i said yes lah. And yday night at 0046, did i finally rcv his work. I could have completed the work and gone to slp almost an hr ago if he hadn't procrastinated.

Another grp member better. I asked him at last week's tutorial if he knew how to do executive summary. He said no, but he could check it out in the comm skills book. So i left him to do e executive summary and even told him to finish it and pass to me next Mon. But he apparently forgot abt us meeting on Mon and he didn't go to sch that day. And he hadn't done e summary yet. He then msged me that afternoon to ask me what shld go into e executive summary, and i told him that a brief summary of the findings will do, cos we hadn't done e conclusions and recommendations yet. Simple enough? And he told me that he'll send it to me on Tues afternoon. But i didn't rcv it when i checked my email on Tues evening. I msged him, realised he was outside and he hasn't done the thing yet. And u know what he asked me? What's the objective of executive summary? That might seem like an intelligent qns, but to me, it juz showed how bloody irresponsible he was. You told me one week ago that u would check out the comm skills book, and u're asking me the objective of an executive summary when u're already late in finishing ur work?? That's when i told him i'll juz do e thing myself. In retrospect, i shld have done tt hrs ago, instead of waiting for him. I know he's taking a lot of subjects this semester, as he didn't do well for his previous semesters, so he has a lot other projects too. And i understand. But if you couldn't manage the workload, then tell me lah. Sigh.. dunno lah.

But after hearing from Corrin, i've realised that i'm act much luckier than her. At least i don't have overbearing, self-assuming, and tactless grp members.

Anyway, after looking for the teacher on Wed afternoon, we had to edit quite some things cos we didn't do them correctly or we had some redundant stuff. Had to do the french project, worry abt the sociology presentation too. When will all this end?? Never mind, i know the answer. Two weeks later, when my study week starts and i'll have to start fretting abt my exams..
