Heyyyyy all my mates! haha
a thousand apologies for my long leave of absence. been very very busy lately with all my school work and organizing my timetable for study. phew..
not to mention the dreaded assignments, at least one essay a week ! or two in fact! weeeeee
but i enjoy writing!
alrite maybe i should introduce my units, in case anyone is still clueless about what am i studying.
i'm creative industries (faculty) and my major is communication design.
this sem i'm taking

1) writing for creative industries
loads and loads of writing in an acadamic style, to develop competent prose for specific academic and creative industry applications
2) cultures and creativity
foster your ability to critically analyse and evaluate cultural practices and concepts, and to develop your own creative and critical skills. really interesting! have to do a creative journal containing all your creative works
3) marketing
Comprehend and conceptualise marketing principles, theories and functions and explain why marketing is important to contemporary organisations
4) business communication 1
improve the English communication skills of international students who are studying for business and professional communication diplomas. The unit encompasses skills development in reading, writing, listening and speaking. It provides strategies for understanding, composing and presenting information in an academic context.

i really like the writing unit *even though i had to write quite alot*
especially the latest one which is descriptive writing this week! quite interesting..
we did peer review in groups, giving feedback on each person's writing. our regular lecturer Josie was down this week from stomach flu. so two of her colleagues came down to help out.
i got a positive remarks for my writing
Joanne say i have a good feel for it and asked if i do creative writing before.
Really really felt good with the positive comments. but i know my writing still need alot of polishing.
cultures n creativity is cool too.. knowing various cultures and analysing them
marketing in intriguing, its really interesting how different corporations and companies's marketing strategy to influence the market.
business comm..haha
the lecturer tim is damn humourous and he knows my name because i always sit in front.
haha..

Woah, its yet another rainy day again. And Cold too! Brrr...
Today in school i only had marketing workshop which was quite interesting.
Saw a video of case studies about companies. One interesting example is GreenPeace, an non-profit environmentalist organisation. Its company vision is to provide the Earth with green solutions. They managed to get Coke to use cfc-free fridges. Initially Coke refused to do it, but after a huge brand smear campaign. One of the world's largest soft-drink corporations had to submit due to it's dipping pubicity. Pretty outstanding for a independant organisation.

When to the city and open ANZ bank account for my savings. I felt that having two Banks will be more convenient for me. One for expenditure and the other for saving up. Damnity..the sky continued to drizzle in the afternoon. Next i bought some stuff at BIG W, just got some cardboard folders to store my notes. When i decided to head for home, it started to rain heavily. Gah!!

And tonight's dinner is...tah dah! Broccoli with prawns, crab meat and oyster sauce!!!! Yummm

Gahhhhhhhh.
It has been a long long day for me. Not a really good day because, i got the wrong textbook for marketing! sigh.
Today is the 1st lecture for Marketing and it is on chapter one. I wanted to go early to school, buy the textbook and read chapter one before the lecture starts. I did accomplished my objective and felt pretty good and prepared for the lecture. To my horror, the lecturer told us about a certain term during the lecture and i cannot find it in the book. Later when i asked him if i got the right book, he said no. The copy i had is the 2003 edition and the correct version is 2005. Damnity!
I checked the book list and realized that they made a serious mistake. Because of some typing error on the booklist. Way to go man...

Today was dull for the first half of my day in school. The computing class which only a handful of us attended was darn borrrrrrrring. The lecturer taught us how to write the format of a report. Which i do not think is necessary for my course. Sigh.. but still, it will be useful to know it in the future.
After lunch i had another class on writing assignments for university. This workshop is really informative and definately related to my course. Rena, the language advisor taught us how to analyse the question. Look out for content and directive words in the question and so forth.
Really good stuff for my eassy writing!

Met Raymond at Gardens Points to have a look at market day. i got quite a few freebies like chocolate bars and a laptop bag! yeahhh..
Had coffee with Ray at West End. Really talked alot about ourselves and church stuff. We looked at each others photos on our respective laptops. He has way more pictures then me..haha..
After our coffee session, i joined him in the prayer meeting held by Hope Brisbane.
Really solid, prayer meeting which lasted 4hrs! phew..never prayed so much and so long in a long long time! Sigh, tommorrow is Marketing lecture and i don't have the textbook. i just found out, i need to like read the 1st chapter for lecture. Drat...
Suppose to buy today but i and my friends decide to ask the lecturer for the correct version. Because there were so many editions in the bookstore..Gah!
Have to go early tommorrow and buy it! And read it before lecture...=(
